Somos livres para afirmar que não são reais os números de prisioneiros mortos em campos de concentração nazistas? Podemos negar o Holocausto? O Direito nos autoriza a reeditar uma obra literária que faz referências a uma personagem, que é negra, como "macaca de carvão", "pobre negra", "pobre preta", "negra velha"? É lícita a impressão de panfletos que criticam a invasão de negros aos bairros de pessoas brancas? É crime o ato de proferir palavras de cunho homotransfóbico? Esta obra estuda o discurso de ódio, por meio da análise do modo como o jurista e a Jurisdição Constitucional tratam do tema. Apresenta uma profunda e minuciosa pesquisa nos precedentes firmados nos Estado...
O desafio de definir os limites da liberdade de expressão em ambiente radicalmente democrático frente aos discursos e declarações de ódio, das notícias falsas e das teorias conspiratórias, se já era uma demanda histórica de grande complexidade nas democracias, agora ganhou contornos dramáticos urgentes pela velocidade e alcance de sua propagação através das redes sociais e do engajamento de enormes parcelas da população a esses dispositivos. Como estabelecer os limites sem ferir as liberdades individuais, mas prevenindo ações criminosas e as fake news? Como o poder judiciário brasileiro tem se posicionado, qual tem sido sua efetividade e o que podemos fazer para enfrentar a...

This invaluable book updated the study of constitutional law with the addition of twenty contemporary Supreme Court cases dealing with such controversial topics as the legislative veto, stop-and-frisk, “set asides” to benefit minorities, and hate speech. Beginning with the story of the forming of the Constitution, it includes illuminating character sketches of the delegates written by their contemporaries, as well as the complete text of the Constitution itself. The Supreme Court decisions that the author cites were selected for their variety and complexity, and because they shed light on the problems that arise under the rule of the Constitution and the interpretations of that rule.

Mindful of the English background and of constitutional developments in the several states, Orth in a succinct and readable narrative traces the history of due process, from its origins in medieval England to its applications in the latest cases. Departing from the usual approach to American constitutional law, Orth places the history of due process in the larger context of the common law. To a degree not always appreciated today, constitutional law advances in the same case-by-case manner as other legal rules. In that light, Orth concentrates on the general maxims or paradigms that guided the judges in their decisions of specific cases. Uncovering the links between one case and another, Orth describes how a commitment to fair procedures made way for an emphasis on the protection of property rights, which in turn led to a heightened sensitivity to individual rights in general.

The Cambridge Companion to Chopin provides the enquiring music-lover with helpful insights into a musical style which recognises no contradiction between the accessible and the sophisticated, the popular and the significant. Twelve essays by leading Chopin scholars make up three parts. Part 1 discusses the sources of Chopin's style in the music of his predecessors and the social history of the period. Part 2 profiles the mature music, and Part 3 considers the afterlife of the music - its reception, its criticism and its compositional influence in the works of subsequent composers.
