The Power of a Woman's Voice in Medieval and Early Modern Literatures
The study takes the received view among scholars that women in the Middle Ages were faced with sustained misogyny and that their voices were seldom heard in public and subjects it to a critical analysis. The ten chapters deal with various aspects of the question, and the voices of a variety of authors - both female and male - are heard. The study opens with an enquiry into violence against women, including in texts by male writers (Hartmann von Aue, Gottfried von Straßburg, Wolfram von Eschenbach) which indeed describe instances of violence, but adopt an extremely critical stance towards them. It then proceeds to show how women were able to develop an independent identity in various genres ...

The Conservative Turn
The Conservative Turn tells the story of postwar America's political evolution through two fascinating figures: Lionel Trilling and Whittaker Chambers, who went on to intellectual prominence, sharing the questions, crises, and challenges of their generation. Kimmage argues that the divergent careers of these two men exemplify important developments in postwar American politics: the emergence of modern conservatism and the rise of moderate liberalism.
Spiritual Vegetation
This volume concerns premodern understandings of vegetal nature that encompass multiple semantics and perspectives. Scholars from the disparate fields of art history, literature, and religious studies present tantalizing studies of trees and plants in sacred and secular thought. Some discuss the concept of the Book of Nature and its implications. Others explore narratives of symbiosis between humans and vegetal material, tree-dwelling hermits, spirits metamorphosing into wood, flowers or trees that sprout from bodies or the dissolution of the self into the natural world. Complementary to these approaches are studies that suggest a collapsing of time and space in spiritually charged yet ambiguous natural motifs or topographies where forests or groves are spaces of transformative experience.
Gender and Jewish Difference from Paul to Shakespeare
Although representations of medieval Christians and Christianity are rarely subject to the same scholarly scrutiny as those of Jews and Judaism, "the Christian" is as constructed a term, category, and identity as "the Jew." Medieval Christian authors created complex notions of Christian identity through strategic use of representations of Others: idealized Jewish patriarchs or demonized contemporary Jews; Woman represented as either virgin or whore. In Western thought, the Christian was figured as spiritual and masculine, defined in opposition to the carnal, feminine, and Jewish. Women and Jews are not simply the Other for the Christian exegetical tradition, however; they also represent sour...

Lições de Direitos de Personalidade
«A disciplina da tutela da personalidade coloca ao jurista a magna quæstio [...] de saber, afinal, o que é o Homem que o direito tutela;em que consiste a personalidade, objeto das posições jurídicas em causa. Assim compreendida, a disciplina dos direitos de personalidade surge como uma janela aberta sobre a antropologia filosófica. Não basta, ao jurista, a reprodução acrítica de velhas máximas [...]: é necessário saber o que é o hominum, qual o conceito de persona que subjaz ao sistema e a que hipóteses de realização da liberdade individual deve o direito reconhecer valor. Esta reflexão é tanto mais importante quanto o ambiente cultural em que nos move-mos e ensinamos vive de sentimentalismos aprioristas. A pós modernidade rejeita razões, mas reclama emoções. Também assim no ensino do direito. Não poucas vezes, a formação dos juristas navega na espuma dos dias, do politicamente correto, da última novidade tecno-lógica ou do último anglicismo. Frieza, ponderação, distanciamento emocional, razões da ra-zão, cultura histórica, são virtudes tristemente arredadas de muitos discursos académicos. [...]
