Control de convencionalidad y autoprecedente interamericano
Las reflexiones planteadas en este libro proponen una herramienta que contribuya a la adecuada realización del control de convencionalidad interno por parte de los Estados, al tiempo que se aporta al fortalecimiento del Sistema Interamericano de Derechos Humanos. En primera instancia, se aborda el estado actual del control de convencionalidad interno a la luz de la jurisprudencia de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, para luego analizar si el respeto del autoprecedente constituye un instrumento que contribuye a su aplicabilidad. Para el estudio del desarrollo jurisprudencial, se seleccionaron todas las sentencias de casos contenciosos en los que el Tribunal Interamericano ha hecho mención expresa a la figura del control de convencionalidad interno, partiendo del 2006, año en que expidió la sentencia del caso Almonacid Arellano vs. Chile, en el que por primera vez se mencionó dicha figura, hasta finales del 2014.
Objeción de conciencia
El volumen busca fijar la atención en los aspectos de la objeción de conciencia que pueden suscitar mayor interés en el actual debate jurídico. Después de un capítulo introductorio (I), se aborda (capítulo II) el origen histórico de las libertades de religión y de conciencia, y las diferencias entre la noción clásica de oposición a la ley injusta, por motivos de conciencia, y el moderno concepto de objeción. El capítulo III describe la aguda polémica de los últimos años, especialmente en el ámbito de las profesiones sanitarias, y el fundamento de la objeción de conciencia, que no es otro que la dignidad humana y los derechos fundamentales que de ella se derivan. El capítu...
Fantastic Women
"The female side of Surrealism: in the period from 1930 to the 1960s, women artists from all over the world were involved in the Surrealist movement and created a fantastic universe of images. Some 260 works of painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and film serve to present the extraordinary and imaginative contributions of 36 international avant-garde women artists to one of the seminal art movements of modernism."--Page 4 de la couverture
Jueces y reglas
El problema que se aborda en este libro puede formularse mediante la siguiente pregunta: ¿en qué sentido es posible que los precedentes judiciales desarrollen una función autoritativa y reconocer, al mismo tiempo, la existencia de razones que autorizan a los jueces a apartarse de ellos y la facultad de ampliar o reducir el ámbito de su aplicación?
Self Portrait in Green
'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.

Night Bus
In Night Bus, a young woman wearing round glasses finds herself on an adventurous late night bus ride that constantly makes detours through increasingly fantastical landscapes. Meanwhile a young cartoonist returns home after art school and tries his hand at becoming a working artist while watching over his aging grandmother whose memory is deteriorating. Nostalgic leaps take us to an elementary school gymnasium that slowly morphs into a swamp and is raided by a giant catfish. Beetles, salamanders, and bug-eyed fish intrude upon the bus ride of the round-glasses woman as the night stretches on. Night Bus blends autobiography, horror, and fantasy into a vibrantly detailed surreal world that shows a distinct talent surveying his past. Nature infringes upon the man-made world via gigantism and explosive abundance–the images in Night Bus are often unsettling, not aimed to horrify, but to upset the balance of modern life. Zuo Ma is part of a burgeoning Chinese art comics scene that pushes emotion to the forefront of the story while playing with action and dreams. Translated by Orion Martin.
Borders across Healthcare
Examining which actors determine undocumented migrants’ access to healthcare on the ground, this volume looks at what happens in the daily interactions between administrative personnel, healthcare professionals and migrant patients in healthcare institutions across Europe. Borders across Healthcare explores contemporary moral economies of the healthcare-migration nexus. The volume documents the many ways in which borders come to disrupt healthcare settings and illuminates how judgements of a health-related deservingness become increasingly important, producing hierarchies that undermine a universal right to healthcare.
Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
