European law, including both civil law and common law, has gone through several major phases of expansion in the world. European legal history thus also is a history of legal transplants and cultural borrowings, which national legal histories as products of nineteenth-century historicism have until recently largely left unconsidered. The Handbook of European Legal History supplies its readers with an overview of the different phases of European legal history in the light of today's state-of-the-art research, by offering cutting-edge views on research questions currently emerging in international discussions. The Handbook takes a broad approach to its subject matter both nationally and system...
Los orígenes de la esclavitud y los desplazamientos forzados se confunden con los de la humanidad, asociados a guerras, colonizaciones y concepciones que definen a un grupo como inferior a otro. América en diásporas abre el debate hacia las formas de esclavitud moderna –indígena y postcolonial, en Chile y otros lugares del continente–y plantea otros modos de abordar la experiencia afroamericana, con estudios novedosos sobre sus problemas, contextos y dimensiones, así como sobre las dinámicas legales, sociales, culturales e ideológicas que alimentaron estas diásporas forzadas durante un período amplio que no se limita a la cronología colonial.

La metodología de la investigación es básica jurídica, dado que su esencia es el estudio de los tipos penales con una dimensión descriptiva. Igualmente, en la parte final de la obra se estudian algunos casos prácticos que podrán ser de utilidad al lector en su ejercicio profesional.
Philosophy is traditionally understood as the search for universal truths, and philosophers are supposed to transmit those truths beyond the limits of their own culture. But, today, we have become sceptical about the ability of an individual philosopher to engage in 'universal thinking', so philosophy seems to capitulate in the face of cultural relativism. In Introduction to Antiphilosophy, Boris Groys argues that modern 'antiphilosophy' does not pursue the universality of thought as its goal but proposes in its place the universality of life, material forces, social practices, passions, and experiences - angst, vitality, ecstasy, the gift, revolution, laughter or 'profane illumination' - and he analyses this shift from thought to life and action in the work of thinkers from Kierkegaard to Derrida, from Nietzsche to Benjamin. Ranging across the history of modern thought, Introduction to Antiphilosophy endeavours to liberate philosophy from the stereotypes that hinder its development.
This book covers the heterogeneity of Chilean literary production from the times of the Spanish conquest to the present. It shifts critical focus from national identity and issues to a more multifaceted transnational, hemispheric, and global approach. Its emphasis is on the paradigm transition from the purportedly homogeneous to the heterogeneous.
