Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Softcover Edition with Index! Considered by Ratzinger devotees as his greatest work on the Liturgy, this profound and beautifully written treatment of the "great prayer of the Church" will help readers rediscover the Liturgy in all its hidden spiritual wealth and transcendent grandeur as the very center of our Christian life. Among the many liturgical issues that he covers in this work, Cardinal Ratzinger discusses fundamental misunderstandings of the Second Vatican Council's intentions for liturgical renewal, especially the orientation of prayer at the Eucharistic sacrifice, the placement of the tabernacle, and the posture of kneeling. Other important topics he discusses include the following: the essence of worship; Jewish roots and new elements of the Christian Liturgy; the historic and cosmic dimensions of the Liturgy; the relationship of the Liturgy to time and space; art, music, and the Liturgy; active participation of all the faithful; gestures, posture, and vestments. "My purpose here is to assist this renewal of understanding of the Liturgy. Its basic intentions coincide with what Guardini wanted to achieve. The only difference is that I have had to translate what Guardini did at the end of the First World War, in a totally different historical situation, into the context of our present-day questions, hopes, and dangers. Like Guardini, I am not attempting to involve myself with scholarly discussion and research. I am simply offering an aid to the understanding of the faith and to the right way to give the faith its central form of expression in the Liturgy." - Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, from the preface

Download or read book Global Legal History written by Joshua C. Tate and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection brings together a group of international legal historians to further scholarship in different areas of comparative and regional legal history. Authors are drawn from Europe, Asia, and the Americas to produce new insights into the relationship between law and society across time and space. The book is divided into three parts: legal history and legal culture across borders, constitutional experiences in global perspective, and the history of judicial experiences. The three themes, and the chapters corresponding to each, provide a balance between public law and private law topics, and reflect a variety of methodologies, both empirical and theoretical. The volume highlights the gains that may be made by comparing the development of law in different countries and different time periods. The book will be of interest to an international readership in Legal History, Comparative Law, Law and Society, and History.

This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: http://dx.doi.org/10.12946/gplh6http://www.epubli.de/shop/buch/53894"The spatiotemporal conjunction is a fundamental aspect of the juridical reflection on the historicity of law. Despite the fact that it seems to represent an issue directly connected with the question of where legal history is heading today, it still has not been the object of a focused inquiry. Against this background, the book’s proposal consists in rethinking key confluences related to this problem in order to provide coordinates for a collective understanding and dialogue. The aim of this volume, however, is not to offer abstract methodological considerations, but rather to rely both on concrete studies, out of which a reflection on this conjunction emerges, as well as on the reconstruction of certain research lines featuring a spatiotemporal component. This analytical approach makes a contribution by providing some suggestions for the employment of space and time as coordinates for legal history. Indeed, contrary to those historiographical attitudes reflecting a monistic conception of space and time (as well as a Eurocentric approach), the book emphasises the need for a delocalized global perspective. In general terms, the essays collected in this book intend to take into account the multiplicity of the spatiotemporal confines, the flexibility of those instruments that serve to create chronologies and scenarios, as well as certain processes of adaptation of law to different times and into different spaces. The spatiotemporal dynamism enables historians not only to detect new perspectives and dimensions in foregone themes, but also to achieve new and compelling interpretations of legal history. As far as the relationship between space and law is concerned, the book analyses experiences in which space operates as a determining factor of law, e.g. in terms of a field of action for law. Moreover, it outlines the attempted scales of spatiality in order to develop legal historical research. With reference to the connection between time and law, the volume sketches the possibility of considering the factor of time, not just as a descriptive tool, but as an ascriptive moment (quasi an inner feature) of a legal problem, thus making it possible to appreciate the synchronic aspects of the ‘juridical experience’. As a whole, the volume aims to present spatiotemporality as a challenge for legal history. Indeed, reassessing the value of the spatiotemporal coordinates for legal history implies thinking through both the thematic and methodological boundaries of the discipline."

Download or read book A Place in History written by Michael Herzfeld and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1991-10-27 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Herzfeld describes what happens when a bureaucracy charged with historic conservation clashes with a local populace hostile to the state and suspicious of tourism. Focusing on the Cretan town of Rethemnos, once a center of learning under Venetian rule and later inhabited by the Turks, he examines major questions confronting conservators and citizens as they negotiate the "ownership" of history: Who defines the past? To whom does the past belong? What is "traditional" and how is this determined? Exploring the meanings of the built environment for Rethemnos's inhabitants, Herzfeld finds that their interest in it has more to do with personal histories and the immediate social context than with the formal history that attracts the conservators. He also investigates the inhabitants' social practices from the standpoints of household and kin group, political association, neighborhood, gender ideology, and the effects of these on attitudes toward home ownership. In the face of modernity, where tradition is an object of both reverence and commercialism, Rethemnos emerges as an important ethnographic window onto the ambiguous cultural fortunes of Greece.

This book was released on 2021-12-17 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il patrimonio culturale contribuisce alla piena realizzazione di ogni essere umano e deve essere considerato un bene comune, da custodire e valorizzare a beneficio delle generazioni presenti e future. Il volume analizza le principali e più attuali tematiche che la gestione e valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale presenta da un punto di vista giuridico, seguendo un approccio interdisciplinare e prestando particolare attenzione agli aspetti applicativi degli istituti normativi, esaminati anche in riferimento ad alcuni concreti beni d’eccezionale valore. I saggi contenuti nel volume sono redatti da studiosi specializzati nelle diverse discipline giuridiche che concorrono alla regolamentazione della materia (diritto internazionale, costituzionale, amministrativo, tributario, penale, ecclesiastico, dell’Unione europea) nonché da esperti con importanti funzioni operative; essi analizzano tanto questioni di carattere generale, affrontate comunque in una prospettiva attenta ai più recenti sviluppi (il significato e la portata della tutela del patrimonio culturale nella Costituzione, l’impatto delle norme internazionali sulla tutela dei beni culturali sia in tempo di pace che in tempo di conflitto armato, il ruolo della repressione penale nella protezione dei beni culturali) sia problemi più specifici emergenti nell’attuale dibattito giuridico (l’istituto della “impresa culturale e creativa”; le sponsorizzazioni di beni culturali; la diversità linguistica come componente del patrimonio culturale, la disciplina dei cammini e delle vie di pellegrinaggio; la sentenza della Corte penale internazionale relativa al caso di Timbuktu). Caratterizzano altresì l’opera alcuni saggi volti ad illustrare i problemi e le prospettive che si evidenziano nella gestione concreta di alcuni beni di particolare rilevanza, caratterizzanti il territorio, quali il sito Unesco di Modena (inserito, in ragione dell’eccezionale valore universale, nella Lista del patrimonio mondiale istituita dalla Convenzione di Parigi del 1972) e i musei universitari. Ciò allo scopo di favorire un dialogo tra studiosi e operatori, dal quale possano emergere nuove linee di sviluppo della regolamentazione giuridica.
