Redefining Codification

  • Categories: Law

More than half of the world's population lives under law codes. Yet, defining the concept of codification remains elusive. Rather than delving into abstract theories, this book provides a rich and contextual comparative legal history of codes in France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium from the late eighteenth century to the present. The author starts by examining the evolution of French, German, Dutch, and Belgian codes in their political and comparative context, thus challenging deeply rooted national narratives. He covers the well-studied civil codes and the often-overlooked commercial and procedural codes and drafts that failed to become law. Against this backdrop, the book embarks ...

Vom 19. bis 21. Juni 2008 fand an der Universität Innsbruck erstmalig eine Tagung statt, die ausschließlich dem epischen Dichter Silius Italicus gewidmet war. Die einzelnen Beiträge, die in diesem Band versammelt und um einige vermehrt wurden, fassen einerseits die bisherigen Forschungen zu zentralen Fragen zusammen, skizzieren andererseits auch neue Wege und Sichtweisen auf einen Dichter, den die Klassische Philologie lange Zeit recht stiefmütterlich behandelt hat.

National Socialist Family Law

  • Categories: Law

In National Socialist Family Law, Mariken Lenaerts analyses the possible influence of National Socialism on marriage and divorce law in Germany and the Netherlands. As the family was regarded the germ-cell of the nation, the Nazis made many changes in German and Dutch marriage and divorce law to suit their purpose of a thousand-year Aryan Reich. By making extensive use of archival resources, Mariken Lenaerts gives an overview of the most important changes adopted in marriage and divorce law by the Nazis and proves that although daily marital life in both countries was highly influenced by National Socialism, marriage and divorce law did not become National Socialist. Listen to Lenaerts explaining about her project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TINKR6xKyUQ. In 2013 the book was awarded the Prix Fondation Auschwitz – Jacques Rozenberg.

Untreue und Unterschlagung - wesensverschieden in Struktur, Schutzrichtung, rechtspraktischer sowie rechtspolitischer Relevanz - und doch historisch miteinander verwoben. Beide Tatbestände gehören zu den Lieblingskindern der Strafrechtsreform. Nicht zuletzt aufgrund Aufsehen erregender Strafprozesse jüngster Zeit ist gerade 266 StGB verstärkt in den Fokus der fachinternen ebenso wie der öffentlichen Diskussion geraten. Mittlerweile sitzt die Untreue gar selbst auf der Anklagebank: Ihre Befürworter üben sich in der Rolle der Verteidigung, ihre Gegner übernehmen den Part der Anklage. Verschied.

Poems in Steel

Situating the politics of invention at the intersection of politics, law, and technology, Gispen (U. of Mississippi) describes how it occupied German inventors, industrial scientists, patent experts, business executives, and sometimes even the country's political leaders for the better part of a century. The issue they grappled with, and which he takes up here, is what rights inventors are due in the age of corporate capitalism. He invokes various realms of the computer industry to point out that the issue has not yet been settled. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.

Marriage, Gender, and Desire in Early Enlightenment German Comedy

Reveals eighteenth-century German comedies' inherent resistance -- through their depiction of alternative gender roles and sexual behavior -- to the emerging discourse of the sentimental marriage. J. C. Gottsched, who reformed early Enlightenment German theater, claimed for comedy the ability to transform morality. The new literary comedies of the 1740s, among the other moral goals that they pursued, propagated a new sentimental discourse promoting marriage based on love while devaluing its traditional socioeconomic foundations. Yet in comedies by well-known dramatists of the period such as Gottsched, Gellert, J. E. Schlegel, Lessing, and Quistorp, alternative gender roles and sexual behavio...

How did the drastic experiences of the turbulent twentieth century affect the works of a legal historian? What kind of an impact did they have on the ideas of justice and rule of law prominent in legal historiography? Ville Erkkila analyses the way in which the concepts of 'Rechtsgewissen' and 'Rechtsbewusstsein' evolved over time in the works of the prestigious legal historian Franz Wieacker. With the help of previously unavailable sources such as private correspondence, the author reveals how Franz Wieacker's personal experiences intertwined in his legal historiography with the tradition of legal science as well as the social and political destinies of twentieth century Germany.

From Musical Folklore to Twelve-tone Technique

"His reports of encounters with such composers as Taneyev, Glazunov, Scriabin, Stravinsky, Hindemith, Frommel, and David, and his thorough discussion of tonal systems and compositional methods reflect the approach and critical response to many procedures typical of music of the era.
