The Gendered ‘I’ in Ancient Literature

Considering the ubiquity of rhetorical training in antiquity, the volume starts from the premise that every first-person statement in ancient literature is in some way rhetorically modelled and aesthetically shaped. Focusing on different types of Greek and Latin literature, poetry and prose, from the Archaic Age to Late Antiquity, the contributions analyse the use and modelling of gender-specific elements in different types of first-person speech, be it that the speaker is (represented as) the author of a work, be it that they feature as characters in the work, narrating their own story or that of others. In doing so, they do not only offer new insights into the rhetorical strategies and lit...

Scritti in onore di Mario G. Losano

  • Categories: Law

Mario Losano è uno studioso eccellente, la cui produzione scientifica sconfina nei più disparati campi del sapere giuridico e oltre: ha arricchito le nostre conoscenze nella filosofia del diritto, nella teoria generale del diritto, nella storia del diritto, nell'informatica giuridica, nel diritto comparato, nella filosofia politica, solo per citare i settori nei quali è una riconosciuta autorità scientifica. È poi un intellettuale mosso da un'autentica passione civile e politica, e anzi un raro esempio di intellettuale: i suoi lavori spiccano per la tensione interdisciplinare, oltre che per caratteristiche decisamente poco diffuse in un mondo sempre più animato da tecnocrati dediti all'iperspecializzazione. Gli autori e le autrici di questi Scritti sono studiosi attivi nel diritto comparato, nella filosofia e nella teoria generale del diritto che hanno inteso celebrare, tra le tante, una particolare virtù dell'Onorato: aver gettato un ponte tra queste discipline, segnandone in modo indelebile l'agenda e lo statuto epistemologico

In this book contributors engage into the theoretical dialogue about the interplay between terrorism and organized crime. Arguing in favor of its existence, the authors of the book seek to define the phenomenon of ‘organized criminal terrorism’ and examine the appropriateness of the international and regional legal frameworks on terrorism and organized crime to address this unitary criminal phenomenon. The volume reveals similarities and differences between terrorism and organized crime that support views in favor of new international legal instruments and those that defend the current approach to combat organized criminal terrorism. Contributors hope that the book will form the basis for a more informed discussion on the issue.

The Politics of Vulnerable Groups

The Politics of Vulnerable Groups

This book describes and analyzes the conceptual ambiguity of vulnerability, in an effort to understand its particular applications for legal and political protection when relating to groups. Group vulnerability has become a common concept within legal and political scholarship but remains largely undertheorized as a phenomenon itself. At the same time, in academia and within legal circles, vulnerability is primarily understood as a phenomenon affecting individuals, and the attempts to identify vulnerable groups are discredited as essentialist and stereotypical. In contrast, this book demonstrates that a conception of group vulnerability is not only theoretically possible, but also politicall...

Criminal Politics and Botched Development in Contemporary Latin America

This Element investigates the relationship between the narcotics industry and politics and assesses how it influences domestic political dynamics, including economic development prospects in Latin America. It argues that links between criminal organizations, politicians, and state agents give rise to criminal politics (i.e., the interrelated activity of politicians, organized crime actors, and state agents in pursuing their respective agendas and goals). Criminal politics is upending how countries function politically and, consequently, impacting the prospects and nature of their social and economic development. The Element claims that diverse manifestations of criminal politics arise depending on how different phases of drug-trafficking activity (e.g., production, trafficking, and money laundering) interact with countries' distinct politico-institutional endowments. The argument is probed through the systematic examination of four cases that have received scant attention in the specialized literature: Chile,Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.

Biopolitics and Structure in Legal Education

  • Categories: Law

Taking up the study of legal education in distinctly biopolitical terms, this book provides a critical and political analysis of structure in the law school. Legal education concerns the complex pathways by which an individual becomes a lawyer, making the journey from lay-person to expert, from student to practitioner. To pose the idea of a biopolitics of legal education is not only to recognise the tensions surrounding this journey, but also to recognise that legal education is a key site in which the subject engages, and is engaged by, a particular structure—and here the particular structure of the law school. This book explores that structure by addressing the characteristics of the bio...
