Confronting Colonial Objects
The treatment of cultural colonial objects is one of the most debated questions of our time. Calls for a new international cultural order go back to decolonization. However, for decades, the issue has been treated as a matter of comity or been reduced to a Shakespearean dilemma: to return or not to return. Confronting Colonial Objects seeks to go beyond these classic dichotomies and argues that contemporary practices are at a tipping point. The book shows that cultural takings were material to the colonial project throughout different periods and went far beyond looting. It presents micro histories and object biographies to trace recurring justifications and contestations of takings and retu...
Art and Human Rights
This timely book builds bridges between the notions of art and aesthetics, human rights, universality, and dignity. It explores a world in which art and justice enter a discussion to answer questions such as: can art translate the human experience? How does humanity link individuality and community building? How do human beings define and look for their identity? The fields of human rights and art are brought together in order to open the discussion and contribute to the promotion and protection of human rights.
Crime Prevention and Justice in 2030
This book analyzes human rights and crime prevention challenges from the perspective of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda, in particular its goal 16 on promoting peaceful, inclusive and just societies, the creation and development of which depend on the interplay between various secular and non-secular (f)actors. The book reflects on the implementation of these two legal instruments from a “back to the future” standpoint, that is, drawing on the wisdom of contributors to the 2030 Agenda from the past and present in order to offer a constructive inter-disciplinary and intergenerational approach. The book’s intended readership includes academics and educationists, criminal justice practitioners and experts, diplomats, spiritual leaders and non-governmental actors; its goal is to encourage them to pursue a socially and human rights oriented drive for “larger freedom,” which is currently jeopardized by adverse political currents.
Cultural Heritage as a Legal Hybrid
This book examines cultural heritage law in both its public and private modalities, focusing on the search for new solutions in national legislations. Both tangible and intangible cultural heritage pose challenges for national legislation regarding the legal histories of the respective countries, obligations deriving from international law, and the independence of respective national searches for a tailored protection model. Although the concept of cultural heritage transcends civil law regulation and property rights, it must be considered when attempting to establish any coherent cultural heritage protection system. In national legislation, we can now observe an increased interest in levera...

Research Handbook on Legal Semiotics
This comprehensive Research Handbook explores the wide variety of work conducted in legal semiotics to provide a broad understanding of how the law works through signs and symbols. Demonstrating that law is a strategical system of fluctuating signs, contributors critically analyse the ever-evolving conceptualisations of law and legal discourse.
W pogoni za rzetelnym procesem karnym. Księga dedykowana Profesorowi Stanisławowi Waltosiowi
Księga stanowi hołd oddawany przez środowisko prawnicze jednemu z najbardziej zasłużonych jego przedstawicieli, Profesorowi Stanisławowi Waltosiowi, w związku z Jubileuszem jego 90. urodzin. Publikacja zawiera aktualne teksty niepozbawione jednak perspektywy historycznej, co z pewnością nadaje jej unikatowy charakter. Wiele opracowań jest pełnych refleksji nad przemianami prawa w ostatnich dziesięcioleciach w Polsce. Tytuł księgi nie został dobrany przypadkowo. Z jednej strony nawiązuje on do autobiografii Profesora „Wędrowanie po wyspach pamięci”, która kończy się refleksjami o życiowej pogoni Jubilata za przyzwoitym prawem. Z drugiej strony eksponuje nadrzędną wartość w procesie karnym – jego rzetelność. To właśnie rzetelność jest więc mottem przewodnim szczególnie często odmienianym na kartach książki. Rzetelność przywoływana jest w kontekście organizacji sądów i powoływania sędziów, w kontekście funkcji procesu karnego oraz regulacji w większym lub mniejszym stopniu umożliwiających ich realizację, w kontekście innych zasad procesu karego, czy też w kontekście regulacji odnoszących się do dowodów.
