Download or read book Rites of Power written by Sean Wilentz and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 1999-03-23 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rites of Power provides a sweeping overview of the symbolism of power from tenth-century France to modern Britain. Approaching their topic from an eclectic range of intellectual traditions, the authors turn the study of politics, social relations, and cultural creation into a single endeavor. The essays begin with three assumptions: that all societies are ordered and governed by "master fictions" (divine right, equality for all) which make political hierarchy appear natural; that political rhetoric includes nonverbal communication (royal portraits, statistics on crop yields); and that common rhetoric can mean different things to various segments of a culture ("states' rights" during the American Civil War). Societies studied include France and Spain in the Middle Ages, post-Revolutionary France, the modern British monarchy, tsarist Russia, colonial Virginia, and industrial Germany. The essays were selected to provide methodological as well as historical coverage; the result is a comprehensive treatment along the cutting edge of several disciplines. This book will appeal to scholars and students in the fields of history, political science, sociology, anthropology, and art history.

Download or read book The Art of the Deal written by Reyerson and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval commercial transactions did not occur spontaneously. They were crafted by merchants with the support of numerous personnel on the medieval marketplace: notaries, innkeepers, brokers, transporters, and subordinate personnel of the merchant's entourage. This study introduces the reader to the challenges of trade in the Mediterranean world and to specific market conditions in the Mediterranean French town of Montpellier. A case study of the business of the Cabanis merchants permits an in-depth examination of the facilitation of trade by intermediaries whose activities are traced in the discovery phase of arranging a deal and in its closing and execution. Medieval business practice involved multiple layers of personnel. The complexities of medieval trade are revealed in the new emphasis given to those who assisted merchants in their commercial endeavors.

Download or read book El derecho de propiedad del suelo written by María Astrid Muñoz Guijosa and published by Civitas. This book was released on 2009 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La presente obra aborda el estudio del derecho de propiedad del suelo, en cuanto base jurídica a partir de la cual ha de construirse necesariamente toda la normativa urbanística y de valoración del suelo. A tal efecto, se parte del previo análisis de la configuración constitucional del derecho de propiedad, que posibilita la cabal comprensión, desde su misma base, del entero sistema urbanístico, así como de buena parte de la problemática que actualmente plantea la propiedad del suelo, como una más de las manifestaciones que la propiedad privada presenta por razón de su peculiar objeto. El estudio de cuestiones capitales en el régimen constitucional de este derecho, tales como su propio concepto, su función social como elemento estructural del derecho que opera delimitando su contenido, o los mecanismos constitucionalmente diseñados para su protección, tanto en el plano material como en el plano formal, permiten extraer conclusiones relativas a cuestiones propiamente urbanísticas. Así, son objeto de análisis, entre otras, cuestiones como la clasificación del suelo, inevitablemente ligada al concepto de función social, el ius aedificandi y su posible inherencia al contenido del derecho de propiedad del suelo, la valoración del suelo, la posición del propietario ante la obra urbanizadora, la configuración y articulación de los mecanismos de participación de la comunidad en las plusvalías generadas por la acción urbanística de los entes públicos, o la expropiación por incumplimiento de la función social de la propiedad.
