Tutela procesal civil del derecho de defensa en Europa
Esta monografía incorpora un análisis exhaustivo de la doctrina del Tribunal de Justicia y del Tribunal de Estrasburgo sobre el derecho de defensa durante las últimas décadas. En muchos casos de aparente vulneración de dicho esencial derecho no se produce quebrantamiento alguno, si bien “el ojo acostumbrado a actuar ante los tribunales” -gracias a una adecuada aplicación jurídica, bien nutrida de “razón y argumentación”- puede ver un debilitamiento o una obstaculización de las posibilidades con que cuenta la parte para procurar el triunfo de su pretensión. Aquello que en las décadas de los 80 y 90 eran violaciones, en muchos casos hoy ya no lo son: como sencillo ejemplo, ...
Investigación y defensa en clave tecnológica
El sujeto encausado es protagonista involuntario de un proceso que ha de ser marco en el que ver garantizados sus derechos y es, sin embargo, el instrumento con mayor capacidad de erosionarlos; un proceso, centrado en las personas y, al tiempo, marcadamente tecnológico. En este escenario, la configuración de un estatuto jurídico irreductible a favor del encausado que garantice la efectividad de un fortalecido derecho de defensa, es el primero de los propósitos a los que sirve este análisis. Ser conscientes, además, de que el uso de la tecnología, desde la más accesible y de uso frecuente por la ciudadanía, hasta la más sofisticada y al alcance de menor número de personas, pero no ...

A Culture of Ambiguity
In the Western imagination, Islamic cultures are dominated by dogmatic religious norms that permit no nuance. Those fighting such stereotypes have countered with a portrait of Islam’s medieval “Golden Age,” marked by rationality, tolerance, and even proto-secularism. How can we understand Islamic history, culture, and thought beyond this dichotomy? In this magisterial cultural and intellectual history, Thomas Bauer reconsiders classical and modern Islam by tracing differing attitudes toward ambiguity. Over a span of many centuries, he explores the tension between one strand that aspires to annihilate all uncertainties and establish absolute, uncontestable truths and another, competing ...
Youth Unemployment and Job Insecurity in Europe
Providing original insights into the factors causing early job insecurity in European countries, this book examines its short- and long-term consequences. It assesses public policies seeking to diminish the risks to young people facing prolonged job insecurity and reduce the severity of these impacts. Based on the findings of a major study across nine European countries, this book examines the diverse strategies that countries across the continent use to help young people overcome employment barriers.
Entangled Objects
Entangled Objects threatens to dislodge the cornerstone of Western anthropology by rendering permanently problematic the idea of reciprocity. All traffic, and commerce, whether economic or intellectual, between Western anthropologists and the rest of the world, is predicated upon the possibility of establishing reciprocal relations between the West and the indigenous peoples it has colonized for centuries.
Making Sex
History of sex in the West from the ancients to the moderns by describing the developments in reproductive anatomy and physiology.
Doubting Thomas
About the disciple known as Doubting Thomas, everyone knows at least this much: he stuck his finger into the risen Jesus’ wounds. Or did he? A fresh look at the Gospel of John reveals how little we may really understand about this most perplexing of biblical figures, and how much we might learn from the strange twists and turns Thomas’s story has taken over time. From the New Testament, Glenn W. Most traces Thomas’s permutations through the centuries: as Gnostic saint, missionary to India, paragon of Christian orthodoxy, hero of skepticism, and negative example of doubt, blasphemy, stupidity, and violence. Rife with paradoxes and tensions, these creative transformations at the hands of...
