History of Law and Other Humanities.Views of the legal world across the time
The collection of essays presented here examines the links forged through the ages between the realm of law and the expressions of the humanistic culture.We collected thirty-five essays by international scholars and organized them into sections of ten chapters based around ten different themes. Two main perspectives emerged: in some articles the topic relates to the conventional approach of law and/in humanities (iconography, literature, architecture, cinema, music), other articles are about more traditional connections between fields of knowledge (in particular, philosophy, political experiences, didactics).We decided not to confine authors to one particular methodological framework, prefer...
Challenges to Legal Theory
Challenges to Legal Theory offers the reader a fascinating journey through a variety of multi-disciplinary topics, ranging from law and literature, and law and religion, to legal philosophy and constitutional law. The collection reflects some of the challenges that the field of legal theory currently faces. It is compiled by a selection of international and Spanish scholars, whose essays are made available in English translation for the first time. The volume is based on a collection of essays, published in Spanish, in honour of Professor José Iturmendi Morales, of Complutense University, Madrid, and brings the rich scholarship of pre-eminent Spanish scholars of law and legal theory to an international audience.
Briefe, Recht und Gericht im polnischen Livland am Beispiel von David Hilchen. Letters, Law and Court in Polish Livonia. The Case of David Hilchen
Die umfangreiche lateinische Privatkorrespondenz des livländischen Juristen und Humanisten David Hilchen (1561 - 1610, Briefe 1577 - 1610) ist eine bisher kaum benutzte Quelle für die frühneuzeitliche Rechtsgeschichte Livlands, das damals ein Teil der polnisch-litauischen Adelsrepublik war. In diesem Band entwerfen estnische, deutsche und polnische Rechts- und Literaturhistoriker erstmals ein Bild von der Rolle und Gestaltung dieser Privatkorrespondenz sowie vom Verhältnis der Briefe zu den Gerichtsprozessen, -akten und zeitgenössischen Rechtsquellen. Die Wende vom 16. zum 17. Jahrhundert zeichnet sich in Livland damit als die Entstehungszeit der gelehrten säkularen Expertenkultur und Übergangsperiode vom mündlichen mittelalterlichen zum gelehrten schriftlichen Recht ab.
Race, Nation and Gender in Modern Italy
Finalist for the 2019 Edinburgh Gadda Prize This book explores intersectional constructions of race and whiteness in modern and contemporary Italy. It contributes to transnational and interdisciplinary reflections on these issues through an analysis of political debates and social practices, focusing in particular on visual materials from the unification of Italy (1861) to the present day. Giuliani draws attention to rearticulations of the transnationally constructed Italian ‘colonial archive’ in Italian racialised identity-politics and cultural racisms across processes of nation building, emigration, colonial expansion, and the construction of the first post-fascist Italian society. The author considers the ‘figures of race’ peopling the Italian colonial archive as composing past and present ideas and representations of (white) Italianness and racialised/gendered Otherness. Students and scholars across a range of disciplines, including Italian studies, political philosophy, sociology, history, visual and cultural studies, race and whiteness studies and gender studies, will find this book of interest.
