Download or read book The Legal Order written by Santi Romano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1917 (Part 1) and 1918 (Part 2), with a second edition in 1946, this is the first English translation of Santi Romano’s classic work, L’ordinamento giuridico (The Legal Order). The main focus of The Legal Order is the notion of institution, which Romano considers to be both the core and distinguishing feature of law. After criticising accounts of the nature of law centred on notions of rule, coercion or authority, he offers a compelling conception, not merely of law as an institution, but of the institution as ‘the first, original and essential manifestation of law’. Romano advances a definition of a legal institution as any group who share rules within a bounded context: for example, a family, a firm, a factory, a prison, an association, a church, an illegal organisation, a state, the community of states, and so on. Therefore, this understanding of legal institutionalism at the same time provides a ground-breaking theory of legal pluralism whereby ‘there are as many legal orders as institutions’. The acme of a jurisprudential current long overlooked in the Anglophone environment (Romano’s work is highly regarded in France, Germany, Spain and South America, as well as in Italy), The Legal Order not only proposes what Carl Schmitt described as a ‘very significant theory’. More importantly, it offers precious insights for a thorough rethinking of the relationship between law and society in today’s world.

Download or read book Contract Children written by Daniela Danna and published by ibidem-Verlag / ibidem Press. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surrogate motherhood is expanding all over the world. Debates rage over how public policy should consider the signing away of the parental rights of birth mothers in favor of a 'commissioning' couple or an individual. In this book, Daniela Danna describes the situation in English-speaking countries and worldwide, from California to Greece, presenting the legal alternatives regulating (or not) these peculiar exchanges. Should surrogacy remain a private agreement? Should it be treated as an enforceable contract? Are surrogate mothers workers? What happens inside the countries that have chosen different ways of handling this new and controversial matter? And, the most important question of all: How can we live in this era of new techno-medical possibilities and try to stay human? Can we resist commodification in the field of human relations concerning procreation? Contract Children discusses the different ways available to obtain a child through surrogate motherhood. It is fundamental reading for anyone wanting to be involved in the surrogacy process. It gives prospective surrogate mothers and infertile couples the background information necessary for their own informed decision. It is also an essential instrument for policy makers and activists in the field of women's rights, social justice, and children's rights. The question of how to publicly deal with surrogate motherhood touches upon our social vision of motherhood, ultimately marking the position of women in contemporary society.

Download or read book Manuale di diritto penitenziario written by DELLA CASA FRANCO and published by G Giappichelli Editore. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: È difficile licenziare questa edizione del Manuale senza che il pensiero torni ai tanti detenuti morti suicidi, quasi uno ogni quattro giorni, nell’anno appena trascorso. Si ha ragione di temere che quasi sempre si tratti di persone a cui lo Stato ha tolto legittimamente la libertà, ma illegittimamente anche la dignità e la speranza, al punto da indurle a togliersi la vita. Sono estremi gesti di disperazione che in genere ricevono un’attenzione fugace dai media, una costernazione di circostanza da parte della politica, un’accettazione come di una dolorosa e inevitabile calamità nel pensiero collettivo. Ma di inevitabile c’è ben poco. La causa va principalmente ricercata nell’atteggiamento di inescusabile inerzia di chi avrebbe potuto e dovuto rifondare il sistema dell’esecuzione della pena, di quella carceraria in ispecie; la causa della causa, nella bassa redditività politica del tema carcere. Nel chiudere la Premessa all’edizione precedente abbiamo già voluto far presente che, soddisfatte le esigenze più squisitamente didattiche, questo Manuale non trascura di prestare attenzione allo sfondo politico culturale delle norme, anche di quelle – se si potesse dir così – inopinatamente assenti. Ebbene, scriviamo questa Premessa a dieci anni esatti dall’ustionante condanna inflitta dalla Corte di Strasburgo per violazione dell’art.3 della Convenzione europea (sent. Torreggiani e altri c. Italia, 8 gennaio 2013). Se in questi due lustri, a parte qualche modifica di portata circoscritta, non ricordiamo altro che conati di riforma (Stati generali dell’esecuzione penale, Commissione di riforma Orlando, Commissione di riforma Cartabia); se le uniche recentissime innovazioni riguardanti l’esecuzione penale (giustizia riparativa, sanzioni sostitutive, ufficio per il processo) sono novità “di risulta” derivanti dalla riforma della giustizia penale di cognizione; se il Parlamento – con un ritardo che ha “attraversato” legislature e maggioranze differenti – ha impiegato quasi due anni, subendo un doppio sollecito da parte della Corte costituzionale, per mettere mano al regime del c.d. ergastolo ostativo, di cui la Consulta aveva rilevato l’incostituzionalità investendolo del compito di apprestare una disciplina che vi ponesse rimedio (ord. 97/2021 e ord. 122/2022); se in tanta parte della nostra realtà penitenziaria la pena continua a consistere in trattamenti umanamente degradanti violando la Costituzione (art. 27, co. 3°) e la Convenzione europea (art. 3), forse non è azzardato ritenere che, sia pure con motivazioni differenti, tutte le forze politiche abbiano gravi responsabilità in omittendo. Responsabilità delle quali sanno di non dover rispondere elettoralmente, essendo la realtà carceraria da tempo oggetto di una sorta di rimozione sociale. Anzi, una carcerazione inflessibilmente e ciecamente punitiva incontra largo consenso in una collettività che, attraversata da un’ansiosa ricerca di sicurezza, ritiene fallacemente di conseguirla recludendo chi delinque entro invalicabili mura e non già adoperandosi affinché ne esca socialmente migliore rispetto a quando vi è entrato. Quelle che precedono, naturalmente, sono soltanto considerazioni sommarie rispetto a temi costituzionalmente e democraticamente cruciali che richiederebbero ben altro approfondimento. Forse, considerazioni eterodosse per una Premessa. Confidiamo però che possano almeno testimoniare l’intento dei curatori e degli Autori di non offrire con questo Manuale soltanto uno strumento interpretativo, un prezioso sussidiario di lettura critica del sistema normativo, ma anche una sollecitazione a distogliere ogni tanto lo sguardo dalle norme per rivolgerlo alla realtà penitenziaria e culturale, che ancor più delle disposizioni legislative, costituisce la cifra di civiltà di un Paese.

Download or read book Legal Recognition of Non Conjugal Families written by Nausica Palazzo and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that insufficient recognition of new families is a legal problem that needs fixing in light of recent evolutions in family patterns and normative conceptions of 'family'. People increasingly invest in relationships falling outside the model of the marital family, such as non-conjugal unions of friends or relatives, polyamorous relationships and various religious-based families. Despite this, Western jurisdictions retain the marital family as the relevant basis for allocating family law benefits, rights and obligations. Part I of the book illustrates recent evolutions in family patterns and norms, and explores how law can accommodate multiple family grids without legal recognition involving normalisation. Part II focuses on courtroom litigation on the basis that courts nowadays are central avenues of social change. It takes non-conjugal families as a case study and provides an analysis of the most compelling argumentative strategies that non-conjugal families can mobilise to pursue legal recognition in Canada and the United States, and within the systems of the European Convention of Human Rights and the European Union. Through its comparative, interdisciplinary and critical legal method, the book provides scholars, activists and policymakers with conceptual tools to tackle the current invisibility of new families. Further, by advancing legal arguments to enhance the protection of non-conjugal families in courtrooms, the book illuminates the different approaches jurisdictions are likely to take and the hindrances thereof to overcome and debunk stereotypes associated with proper familyhood.

Book excerpt: "Dave King and Richard Ekins are the leading world sociologists in this field. The book brings together a brilliant synthesis of history, case studies, ideas and positions as they have emerged over the past thirty years, and brings together a rich but always grounded account of this field, providing a state of the art of critical concepts and ideas to take this field further during the twenty first century." - Ken Plummer, University of Essex "An outstanding survey of the evolution of trans phenomena, splendidly written, highly informative, scholarly at its best, yet easy to read even for those neither trans nor sociologist. Ekins and King, experts in the field, unroll the panoramas of sex, gender, and transgendering that have evloved during the last decades. For everyone wanting to understand the interaction of women and men and of those who cannot or will not identify with either of these two cataegories, reading this book is a must, and a real pleasure." - Friedmann Pfaefflin, University of ULM This groundbreaking study sets out a framework for exploring transgender diversity for the new millennium. It sets forth an original and comprehensive research and provides a wealth of vivid illustrative material. Based on two decades of fieldwork, life history work, qualitative analysis, archival work and contact with several thousand cross-dressers and sex-changers around the world, the authors distinguish a number of contemporary transgendering ′stories′ to illustrate: The binary male/female divide The interrelations betwen sex, sexuality and gender The interrelations between the main sub-processes of transgendering. Wonderfully insightful, The Transgender Phenomenon develops an original and innovative conceptual framkework for understanding the full range of the transgender experience.

Download or read book The Gloria Anzald a Reader written by Gloria Anzaldua and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-22 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in the Río Grande Valley of south Texas, independent scholar and creative writer Gloria Anzaldúa was an internationally acclaimed cultural theorist. As the author of Borderlands / La Frontera: The New Mestiza, Anzaldúa played a major role in shaping contemporary Chicano/a and lesbian/queer theories and identities. As an editor of three anthologies, including the groundbreaking This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color, she played an equally vital role in developing an inclusionary, multicultural feminist movement. A versatile author, Anzaldúa published poetry, theoretical essays, short stories, autobiographical narratives, interviews, and children’s books. Her work, which has been included in more than 100 anthologies to date, has helped to transform academic fields including American, Chicano/a, composition, ethnic, literary, and women’s studies. This reader—which provides a representative sample of the poetry, prose, fiction, and experimental autobiographical writing that Anzaldúa produced during her thirty-year career—demonstrates the breadth and philosophical depth of her work. While the reader contains much of Anzaldúa’s published writing (including several pieces now out of print), more than half the material has never before been published. This newly available work offers fresh insights into crucial aspects of Anzaldúa’s life and career, including her upbringing, education, teaching experiences, writing practice and aesthetics, lifelong health struggles, and interest in visual art, as well as her theories of disability, multiculturalism, pedagogy, and spiritual activism. The pieces are arranged chronologically; each one is preceded by a brief introduction. The collection includes a glossary of Anzaldúa’s key terms and concepts, a timeline of her life, primary and secondary bibliographies, and a detailed index.

Download or read book Transgender Rights written by Paisley Currah and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Transgender Rights packs a surprising amount of information into a small space. Offering spare, tightly executed essays, this slim volume nonetheless succeeds in creating a spectacular, well-researched compendium of the transgender movement." -Law Library Journal Over the past three decades, the transgender movement has gained visibility and achieved significant victories. Discrimination has been prohibited in several states, dozens of municipalities, and more than two hundred private companies, while hate crime laws in eight states have been amended to include gender identity. Yet prejudice and violence against transgender people remain all too common. With analysis from legal and policy experts, activists and advocates, Transgender Rights assesses the movement's achievements, challenges, and opportunities for future action. Examining crucial topics like family law, employment policies, public health, economics, and grassroots organizing, this groundbreaking book is an indispensable resource in the fight for the freedom and equality of those who cross gender boundaries. Moving beyond media representations to grapple with the real lives and issues of transgender people, Transgender Rights will launch a new moment for human rights activism in America.

Download or read book Close to Home written by Christine Delphy and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic analysis of gender relations and patriarchy under capitalism Close to Home is the classic study of family, patriarchal ideologies, and the politics and strategy of women’s liberation. On the table in this forceful and provocative debate are questions of whether men can be feminists, whether “bourgeois” and heterosexual women are retrogressive members of the women’s movement, and how best to struggle against the multiple oppressions women endure. Rachel Hills’s foreword to this new edition explores how Christine Delphy’s analysis of marriage as the institution behind the exploitation of unpaid women’s labor is as radical and relevant today as it ever was.

Download or read book Manuale di diritto penitenziario e delle misure punitive written by Pasquale Troncone and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Riforma Cartabia del 2022 ha impresso una decisa svolta alla materia della pena nell’ordinamento italiano. Questa nuova stagione offre un volto del tutto inedito allo statuto costituzionale della funzione rieducativa della pena facendo ricorso a nuove tipologie sanzionatorie che hanno modificato l’assetto tradizionale del codice penale del 1930. Nell’odierna prospettiva sistematica accanto alle misure alternative alla detenzione della legge n. 354 del 1975 compaiono soluzioni sanzionatorie come la sospensione del procedimento con messa alla prova nel 2014, a completo recepimento del probation system, e le pene sostitutive delle pene detentive brevi nel 2022. Occorre, dunque, prendere atto che il diritto penitenziario cede il passo a un sistema dell’esecuzione della pena completamente nuovo e diverso, in cui il diritto penale sostanziale trova significativi incroci con il diritto processuale penale che non si esita a definire in una nuova dimensione punitiva come: diritto della pena in esecuzione.
