Le cadavre d'un être humain peine à entrer dans les catégories traditionnelles du droit. Son statut juridique pose de nombreuses questions : le cadavre est-il un objet de droit ? Si oui, de quelle nature ? Qui décide du sort d'un cadavre ? Quels actes peuvent être pratiqués sur une dépouille et à quelles conditions ? Pour répondre à ces questions, cette étude analyse de manière transversale comment le droit suisse appréhende le corps d'un être humain après sa mort. L'auteur étudie ainsi le statut du cadavre sous l'angle du droit civil, mais également sa protection pénale et constitutionnelle. Il questionne les limites de la protection juridique du cadavre face à certains c...
When a recent wave of condominium development overtook Toronto, women emerged as powerful consumers, and reports claimed that home ownership was offering young, single women freedom, financial independence, and personal security. Sex and the Revitalized City examines the truth of these claims by exploring the phenomenon from the perspective of women condo owners and planners and developers. This fresh perspective on urban revitalization reveals that condo ownership is not freeing women from constraints – neoliberal ideologies are remaking women's relationship with the city in the image of fast capital and consumer citizenship. Women's emancipation through condominium ownership is a marketing ploy rather than a major shift in gender relations.
The Philippines became Canada’s largest source of short- and long-term migrants in 2010, surpassing China and India, both of which are more than ten times larger. The fourth-largest racialized minority group in the country, the Filipino community is frequently understood by such figures as the victimized nanny, the selfless nurse, and the gangster youth. On one hand, these narratives concentrate attention, in narrow and stereotypical ways, on critical issues. On the other, they render other problems facing Filipino communities invisible. This landmark book, the first wide-ranging edited collection on Filipinos in Canada, explores gender, migration and labour, youth spaces and subjectivities, representation and community resistance to certain representations. Looking at these from the vantage points of anthropology, cultural studies, education, geography, history, information science, literature, political science, sociology, and women and gender studies, Filipinos in Canada provides a strong foundation for future work in this area.
A pioneering exploration of form, meaning, theme and function in African American slang, illustrated with thousands of contextual examples.
