The School of Salamanca: A Case of Global Knowledge Production
Over the past few decades, a growing number of studies have highlighted the importance of the ‘School of Salamanca’ for the emergence of colonial normative regimes and the formation of a language of normativity on a global scale. According to this influential account, American and Asian actors usually appear as passive recipients of normative knowledge produced in Europe. This book proposes a different perspective and shows, through a knowledge historical approach and several case studies, that the School of Salamanca has to be considered both an epistemic community and a community of practice that cannot be fixed to any individual place. Instead, the School of Salamanca encompassed a variety of different sites and actors throughout the world and thus represents a case of global knowledge production. Contributors are: Adriana Álvarez, Virginia Aspe, Marya Camacho, Natalie Cobo, Thomas Duve, José Luis Egío, Dolors Folch, Enrique González González, Lidia Lanza, Esteban Llamosas, Osvaldo R. Moutin, and Marco Toste.
A Companion to Islamic Granada
A Companion to Islamic Granada gathers, for the first time in English, a number of essays exploring aspects of the Islamic history of this city from the 8th through the 15th centuries from an interdisciplinary perspective.

The Nasrid Kingdom of Granada between East and West
The Nasrid Kingdom of Granada (1232-1492) was the last Islamic state in al-Andalus. It has long been considered a historical afterthought, even an anomaly, but this impression must be rectified: here we place the kingdom in a new context, within the processes of change that were taking place across all Western Islamic societies in the late Middle Ages. Despite being the last Islamic entity in the Iberian Peninsula, Granada was neither isolated nor exclusively associated with the nearest Islamic lands. The special relationship between Nasrid territory and the surrounding Christian states accelerated historical processes of change. This volume edited by Adela Fábregas examines the Nasrid king...
Ser del Barça és...
El joc del Barça ha obtingut els darrers anys l'admiració i el reconeixement del món sencer. La premsa internacional s'ha tret el barret davant el seu joc i ha proclamat les virtuts dels jugadors i l'entrenador. Franklin Roer, editor de la prestigiosa The New Republic, afirmà: «El lema del FC Barcelona és "més que un club". I he de confessar que hi estic d'acord. El Barça és un dels grans regals de Déu al temps d'oci». Què hi ha darrere d'aquest gran èxit? Què amaga aquesta idea centenària que el Barça és «més que un club»? Buscant l'essència que ens fa diferents, aquest llibre recull el testimoni de molts barcelonistes, des de Pep Guardiola fins a Leo Messi, passant per...
FUNDAMENTOS JURÍDICOS DA CIDADANIA E DO ESTADO
Temas como democracia, cidadania, Estado de Direito, federalismo e direitos fundamentais relacionam-se entre si de maneira sinérgica. De extrema relevância o aprofundamento do estudo de cada uma destas temáticas como verdadeiros pilares do atual Estado Democrático de Direito. Neste sentido, exsurge a presente obra como referencial a partir das reflexões levantadas ao longo da disciplina “Fundamentos Jurídicos da Cidadania e do Estado” no Programa de Pós-Graduação Stricto Sensu em Direito Político e Econômico da Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie. Os autores debruçaram-se sobre temas atualíssimos e controversos afetos ao Direito Constitucional, tais como mutação constitucional, Democracia e Estado de Direito, efeito backlash legislativo; liberdade de expressão; hiperpresidencialismo autoritário; acesso à justiça; federalismo; segurança jurídica e lex mercatória; deveres fundamentais na segurança pública; liberdade de expressão religiosa e ensino religioso; participação social e desenvolvimento humano. Trata-se de pesquisas de fôlego que visam contribuir com o debate jurídico, político e social, bem como incitar mais discussões. Boa leitura.
