Observing News and Media in a Complex Society
Exploring the conditions of news reporting in today’s information-flooded society, Observing News and Media in a Complex Society looks into the strands of systems theoretical studies of the mass media, journalism and the empirical studies of inter-media agenda setting. Journalism is increasingly exposed to diverse perception and facing its selectivity observed by the public. Considering this context, this book focuses on the movement of solution-oriented journalism, which seeks a new way to answer the question “what is journalism for?” and invites us to expand our understanding of media’s societal role in the societal process of problem-solving and meaning construction.
Debating Laws
This book seeks to explore the potential and actual value of parliamentary debates as a source of legislative justification. Drawing on a sample of recent Spanish legislation, the papers collected here analyse (critically) the rationale of several laws or legislative measures as it can be reconstructed from the respective parliamentary discussions. All issues covered have given rise to intense political, legal and social controversy: they range from the combat against gender violence, the legal status of bullfighting, the protection of crime victims and the so-called ‘push-backs’ at the border, to the regulation of euthanasia, the minimum living income, underage girls’ access to aborti...
A Three-Dimensional Theory of Law
What this book intends to do is to study three-dimensionalism (the distinction values-norms-facts) not in what could be called its historical dimension, but in its substantive aspect, as a “form” that, when applied to different legal themes, would add a “material content” to the three-dimensional theory. We can point out, as a study plan, the distinction between “three” perspectives: Those of the legal norm, of the legal order, and the legal relationship. Three-dimensionalism also appears in this work when one analyzes the “three” phases of the life of the law: The formation, the interpretation, and the application; and in the distinction between the “three” characteristics of the legal order: Fullness, coherence, and unity—the theory of legal validity, intended as legitimacy, as validity strictly speaking, or as effectiveness.
Dispossession and Dissent
Since the 2008 financial crisis, complex capital flows have ravaged everyday communities across the globe. Housing in particular has become increasingly precarious. In response, many movements now contest the long-held promises and established terms of the private ownership of housing. Immigrant activism has played an important, if understudied, role in such struggles over collective consumption. In Dispossession and Dissent, Sophie Gonick examines the intersection of homeownership and immigrant activism through an analysis of Spain's anti-evictions movement, now a hallmark for housing struggles across the globe. Madrid was the crucible for Spain's urban planning and policy, its millennial e...
El derecho a la vivienda. Reflexiones en un contexto socioeconómico complejo
"El que sabe sólo de Derecho, tampoco sabe de Derecho" podría decirse aplicando al ámbito jurídico lo que Lichtenberg dijera respecto a la química en el siglo XVIII. Y es que sin la inclusión de consideraciones políticas, sociológicas y económicas básicas, un análisis sobre el derecho a la vivienda no podría ir más allá de presentar una necesario pero limitada recopilación de las normas nacionales e internacionales que rigen la materia. En la medida en que la finalidad de este libro no es otra que la de aportar las principales claves para comprender la situación actual del derecho a la vivienda en nuestro país, así como las causas que la han motivado, se opta por abordar aq...
Miradas críticas en torno al derecho y la lucha social
Este libro es una especie de reivindicación del paradigma crítico en el ámbito del Derecho y de los derechos humanos en América Latina, pero tiene la peculiaridad de utilizar, como pretexto, el análisis que su autor ha realizado sobre el pensamiento del abogado y iusfilósofo mexicano Jesús Antonio de la Torre Rangel, y los juristas brasileños Antonio Carlos Wolkmer, Amilton Bueno de Carvalho, José Geraldo de Sousa Júnior y Roberto Lyra Filho. Asimismo, se añaden, en defensa de una perspectiva multidisciplinar, la reflexión sobre otros cuatro pensadores que poseen una fuerte afinidad epistémica de compromiso por la justicia social: el pedagogo brasileño Paulo Freire, el economis...
