This book formulates a human right to research in Africa based on an in-depth examination of the available international and regional human rights instruments as well as those relevant to the national contexts of African countries.

In this audacious book, Ana María Ochoa Gautier explores how listening has been central to the production of notions of language, music, voice, and sound that determine the politics of life. Drawing primarily from nineteenth-century Colombian sources, Ochoa Gautier locates sounds produced by different living entities at the juncture of the human and nonhuman. Her "acoustically tuned" analysis of a wide array of texts reveals multiple debates on the nature of the aural. These discussions were central to a politics of the voice harnessed in the service of the production of different notions of personhood and belonging. In Ochoa Gautier's groundbreaking work, Latin America and the Caribbean emerge as a historical site where the politics of life and the politics of expression inextricably entangle the musical and the linguistic, knowledge and the sensorial.

La temática central del texto es el examen de las formas de conflicto que nacieron en la progresiva definición de las formas jurídicas de la nueva república después de la independencia, en particular, de la creación de una sociedad laica que quería limitar los derechos tradicionales de la iglesia en el campo de la educación, la pluralidad jurídica implicada en la permanencia del fuero eclesiástico e imponer, al mismo tiempo, un contra autoritario sobre la libertad de la prensa cuando implicaba críticas a la política oficial. Partiendo de un caso específico pero significativo por sus referencias a una situación jurídica aun en formación y por lo tanto, que implicaba consecuencias generales.

Lawyers usually describe a revolution as a change in a constitutional order not authorized by law. From this perspective, to speak of a ‘lawful’ or an ‘unlawful’ revolution would seem to involve a category mistake. However, since at least the 19th century, courts in many jurisdictions have had to adjudicate claims involving questions about the extent to which what is in fact a revolutionary change can result in the creation of a legally valid regime. In this book, the authors examine some of these judgments.
