El libro que ahora el lector tiene en sus manos es, básicamente, fruto de la pasión y tesón del Dr. Soto Pineda, quien ha alentado y coordinado a un nutrido grupo de profesores y abogados para que aborden la obsolescencia programada. Y lo hacen cubriendo casi todas sus perspectivas o vertientes jurídicas: la constitucional, la civil/mercantil clásica en torno al régimen de los vicios, la de consumo, la antitrust, la internacional y la penal.

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

“Genius?” The tall old man with the fan-shaped beard looked eagerly at his companion, then settled back more heavily against the rows and rows of old books lining the walls to the ceiling on all sides of the room. “Of course Edgar was a genius, but in spite of being a gambler and a drunkard—in spite of it, I tell you!” The other, a thin man of lesser years, his long, inquiring face meditative in the twilight, nodded. “You are right,” he agreed. “But what difference did it make? The only question is, would ‘The Raven’ have been any greater without his gambling and drinking? I doubt it.” The argument was on, and my uncle, Moses Polock, would lean forward now and again, wa...
The Great Christian Jurists series comprises a library of national volumes of detailed biographies of leading jurists, judges and practitioners, assessing the impact of their Christian faith on the professional output of the individuals studied. Spanish legal culture, developed during the Spanish Golden Age, has had a significant influence on the legal norms and institutions that emerged in Europe and in Latin America. This volume examines the lives of twenty key personalities in Spanish legal history, in particular how their Christian faith was a factor in molding the evolution of law. Each chapter discusses a jurist within his or her intellectual and political context. All chapters have been written by distinguished legal scholars from Spain and around the world. This diversity of international and methodological perspectives gives the volume its unique character; it will appeal to scholars, lawyers, and students interested in the interplay between religion and law.
La innovación y las modificaciones que ocurren y ocurrirán en las relaciones jurídicas –y, en particular, las derivadas del uso de nuevas tecnologías– son la materia de este conjunto de trabajos abordados por distinguidos profesores extranjeros y otros nacionales, que se adelantan, marcan un camino que indefectiblemente deberá transitarse en los tiempos que vienen. Las miradas de la doctrina respecto de la evolución de la materia comercial no pueden dejar de desconocer las nuevas herramientas informáticas, los abordajes comunicacionales, la incorporación de las más nuevas tecnologías y la digitalización que han irrumpido con fuerza en todo el ámbito de las relaciones mercantiles, basta señalar para ello las criptomonedas, el blokchain, los actos celebrados entre sujetos a distancia y las nuevas modalidades de contratación no presenciales, el funcionamiento de órganos societarios en similar modo y, por supuesto, todo lo que implica la digitalización en relación a los títulos de crédito en sus distintas variantes, y todo lo que sin duda quedará abarcado por esas nuevas técnicas. El proceso no es simple, pero es inevitable y no se puede ignorar.
Examining the social, medical and cultural history of male homosexuality in Spain, this book looks at it from the time homosexuality came to be an issue of medical, legal and cultural concern. Research into homosexuality in Spain is in its infancy. The last ten or fifteen years have seen a proliferation of studies on gender in Spain but much of this work has concentrated on women's history, literature and femininity. In contrast to existing research which concentrates on literature and literary figures, "Los Invisibles" focuses on the change in cultural representation of same-sex activity of through medicalisation, social and political anxieties about race and the late emergence of homosexual sub-cultures in the last quarter of the twentieth century. As such, this book constitutes an analysis of discourses and ideas from a social history and medical history position. Much of the research for the book was supported by a grant from the Wellcome Trust to research the medicalisation of homosexuality in Spain.
