Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La elaboración de los sucesivos sistemas de imputación jurídico-penal derivan siempre de una clara asociación con teorías de base, ya sean de la filosofía o de la sociología. La propuesta que inspira el presente libro es la senda inaugurada por Vives Antón, en el sentido de la adopción de la filosofía del lenguaje del segundo Wittgenstein, como la base estructural de la concepción de la teoría del delito. Esto, que bien se podría calificar de una teoría significativa del delito, constituye, seguramente, la más avanzada y, a la vez, humanista fórmula que se puede adoptar para la resolución de los problemas jurídico-penales que plantea la posmodernidad. En este libro se toma la acción como punto de partida, como eje de los sistemas ontológicos de teoría del delito para tratar de la evolución de la misma teoría del delito desde sus bases causal-naturalistas, hacia el evolucionado sistema significativo. En seguida, se replantea las funciones de la acción en dogmática jurídico –penal y sus problemas de delimitación a partir del paradigma del sentido

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "El objetivo que persigue esta investigación bien amplio. Abarca el examen de la obra de toda una vida de un jurista muy importante, Binding, que en muchos puntos —sobre todo en los fundamentos— va más allá del ámbito del derecho penal e incluye cuestiones que normalmente son consideradas como pertenecientes a la teoría general del Derecho o a la filosofía del Derecho. Por esta razón, es necesaria una limitación que supera, en realidad, el marco que metódicamente impone la limitación de la “forma” del derecho, de las estructuras dadas de antemano, a la regulación jurídica. Pero si esta investigación no quiere quedar expuesta a la objeción de haber abarcado tan solo un aspecto parcial, cuando es el todo lo que permite una toma de posición definitiva, ha de ser tenido en cuenta el contexto del edificio teórico de Binding, empezando por la norma en tanto fundamento general, hasta llegar a la imposición de la pena al actor individual. Por lo tanto, la clasificación de los ámbitos de las diversas cuestiones no debe poner en peligro este rasgo general de la exposición y de la investigación. Solo no han sido consideradas la teoría de la participación, la teoría de la tentativa y algunas cuestiones particulares de la teoría del concurso de delitos, sin que ello afecte el objetivo total de la investigación, ni tampoco, naturalmente, las cuestiones particulares de la Parte especial".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cunning of Recognition is an exploration of liberal multiculturalism from the perspective of Australian indigenous social life. Elizabeth A. Povinelli argues that the multicultural legacy of colonialism perpetuates unequal systems of power, not by demanding that colonized subjects identify with their colonizers but by demanding that they identify with an impossible standard of authentic traditional culture. Povinelli draws on seventeen years of ethnographic research among northwest coast indigenous people and her own experience participating in land claims, as well as on public records, legal debates, and anthropological archives to examine how multicultural forms of recognition work to reinforce liberal regimes rather than to open them up to a true cultural democracy. The Cunning of Recognition argues that the inequity of liberal forms of multiculturalism arises not from its weak ethical commitment to difference but from its strongest vision of a new national cohesion. In the end, Australia is revealed as an exemplary site for studying the social effects of the liberal multicultural imaginary: much earlier than the United States and in response to very different geopolitical conditions, Australian nationalism renounced the ideal of a unitary European tradition and embraced cultural and social diversity. While addressing larger theoretical debates in critical anthropology, political theory, cultural studies, and liberal theory, The Cunning of Recognition demonstrates that the impact of the globalization of liberal forms of government can only be truly understood by examining its concrete—and not just philosophical—effects on the world.

Download or read book Conquest written by Andrea Smith and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-17 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this revolutionary text, prominent Native American studies scholar and activist Andrea Smith reveals the connections between different forms of violence—perpetrated by the state and by society at large—and documents their impact on Native women. Beginning with the impact of the abuses inflicted on Native American children at state-sanctioned boarding schools from the 1880s to the 1980s, Smith adroitly expands our conception of violence to include the widespread appropriation of Indian cultural practices by whites and other non-Natives; environmental racism; and population control. Smith deftly connects these and other examples of historical and contemporary colonialism to the high rates of violence against Native American women—the most likely to suffer from poverty-related illness and to survive rape and partner abuse. Smith also outlines radical and innovative strategies for eliminating gendered violence.

Book excerpt: "Drawing on a course road tested for over a decade, Sharp has delivered an invaluable aid for teaching students about the complex political, cultural and spatial logics of colonialism and post-colonialism. Difficult theoretical jargon is demystified and the generous use of illustrations and quotes from both academic and popular sources means students can work with manageable measures of primary material. This book has succeeded in delivering a meaningful conversation between political economic accounts of development and cultural accounts of identity. It is a must-have for anyone studying colonialism and post-colonialism." - Jane M Jacobs, Institute of Geography, University of Edinburgh Geographies of Post-Colonialism introduces the principal themes and theories relating to postcolonialism. Written from a geographical perspective, the text includes extended explanations of the cultural and material aspects of the subject. Exploring post-colonialism through the geographies of imagination, knowledge and power, the text is split into three comprehensive sections: Colonialisms discusses Western representations of the ′Other′ and the relationship between this and the European self-image. Neo-colonialisms discusses the continuing legacies of colonial ways of knowing through an examination of global culture, tourism and popular culture. Post-colonialisms discusses the core arguments about post-colonialism and culture with a focus on ′hybridity′. Comprehensive and accessible, illustrated with learning features throughout, Geographies of Post-Colonialism will be the key resource for students in human geography and development studies.

Download or read book Translation and the Spanish Empire in the Americas written by Roberto A. Valdeón and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-11-15 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two are the starting points of this book. On the one hand, the use of Doña Marina/La Malinche as a symbol of the violation of the Americas by the Spanish conquerors as well as a metaphor of her treason to the Mexican people. On the other, the role of the translations of Bartolomé de las Casas’s Brevísima relación de la destrucción de las Indias in the creation and expansion of the Spanish Black Legend. The author aims to go beyond them by considering the role of translators and interpreters during the early colonial period in Spanish America and by looking at the translations of the Spanish chronicles as instrumental in the promotion of other European empires. The book discusses literary, religious and administrative documents and engages in a dialogue with other disciplines that can provide a more nuanced view of the role of translation, and of the mediators, during the controversial encounter/clash between Europeans and Amerindians.

Download or read book Dilemmas of Difference written by Sarah A. Radcliffe and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Dilemmas of Difference Sarah A. Radcliffe explores the relationship of rural indigenous women in Ecuador to the development policies and actors that are ostensibly there to help ameliorate social and economic inequality. Radcliffe finds that development policies’s inability to recognize and reckon with the legacies of colonialism reinforces long-standing social hierarchies, thereby reproducing the very poverty and disempowerment they are there to solve. This ineffectiveness results from failures to acknowledge the local population's diversity and a lack of accounting for the complex intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, class, and geography. As a result, projects often fail to match beneficiaries' needs, certain groups are made invisible, and indigenous women become excluded from positions of authority. Drawing from a mix of ethnographic fieldwork and postcolonial and social theory, Radcliffe centers the perspectives of indigenous women to show how they craft practices and epistemologies that critique ineffective development methods, inform their political agendas, and shape their strategic interventions in public policy debates.

Download or read book Scholastica Colonialis written by Roberto Hofmeister Pich and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of studies on Latin American scholasticism originally presented at the Fourth International Conference of Medieval Philosophy at the Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS), Porto Alegre, Brazil, November 12-14, 2012. These essays provide a significant overview of authors, works and areas of interest associated to scholastic thought in the 16th-18th centuries, focusing particularly on Latin American or European-born authors whose philosophical and theological careers were significantly set in Latin American soil and, due to their education, reveal a profound acquaintance with European philosophical theories and problems. The reception and development of Medieval thought in Baroque scholasticism, the connections between European philosophy, mainly Iberian scholasticism, and philosophical-theological debates in the New World, and the revisiting by Latin American scholars of Medieval schools of thought and theoretical patterns taught in Europe, prompted by the encounter with several peoples living in the new continent and the search and justification for models of colonization, are some of the relevant issues discussed in here. The studies collected in this volume place colonial scholasticism in the history of ideas by letting authors and their writings speak for themselves.

Download or read book At the Origins of Modernity written by José María Beneyto and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-30 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on an international project conducted by the Institute for European Studies of the University CEU San Pablo in Madrid and a seminar on Vitoria and International Law which took place on July 2nd 2015 in the convent of San Esteban, the place where Vitoria spent his most productive years as Chair of Theology at the University of Salamanca. It argues that Vitoria not only lived at a time bridging the Middle Ages and Modernity, but also that his thoughts went beyond the times he lived in, giving us inspiration for meeting current challenges that could also be described as “modern” or even post-modern. There has been renewed interest in Francisco de Vitoria in the last few years, and he is now at the centre of a debate on such central international topics as political modernity, colonialism, the discovery of the “Other” and the legitimation of military interventions. All these subjects include Vitoria’s contributions to the formation of the idea of modernity and modern international law. The book explores two concepts of modernity: one referring to the post-medieval ages and the other to our times. It discusses the connections between the challenges that the New World posed for XVIth century thinkers and those that we are currently facing, for example those related to the cyberworld. It also addresses the idea of international law and the legitimation of the use of force, two concepts that are at the core of Vitoria’s texts, in the context of “modern” problems related to a multipolar world and the war against terrorism. This is not a historical book on Vitoria, but a very current one that argues the value of Vitoria’s reflections for contemporary issues of international law.

This book was released on 2017-08-31 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra presenta, de una manera sencilla, la evolución del derecho penal y cómo dichas garantías son irrenunciables, pues no fueron creadas recientemente, sino decantadas durante siglos de desarrollo, independientemente que tuvieran denominaciones diversas en Italia, España, Alemania o Latinoamérica. Este libro expone los aspectos esenciales de la formación de los principales presupuestos del delito desde sus orígenes a través de cuatro capítulos. En el primero se abordan los antecedentes a la formación de la moderna teoría del delito para lo cual expone: el Derecho penal de la antigüedad, el Derecho penal romano, el Derecho penal de la edad media y el Derecho penal de la Ilustración. El segundo se refiere al Derecho penal en Italia, en el cual se exponen los aspectos fundamentales de la escuela clásica, positivista, terza scuola y técnico jurídica, culminando con un panorama de los avances más recientes incluyendo la influencia de la dogmática alemana y el garantismo. El tercero aborda el Derecho penal en Alemania y con ello los antecedentes y los esquemas positivista jurídico, causalista naturalista, neocausalista, finalista, funcionalista moderado y funcionalista radical. En este apartado se hace especial énfasis en el aporte de penalistas que no siempre son estudiados dentro de la teoría del delito moderna como BINDING, BELING y BIRNBAUM. Y finalmente, el cuarto capítulo expone las posturas más recientes como la flexibilización del Derecho penal, el Derecho penal del enemigo, el Derecho penal de las tres velocidades y la constitucionalización del Derecho penal. En este acápite se destaca el análisis del sistema constitucional del Derecho penal a partir de los principios de legalidad, igualdad, proporcionalidad, culpabilidad y dignidad humana.

Download or read book Lo vivo y lo muerto en la teor a del delito de Hans Welzel written by Michael Pawlik and published by Universidad Externado. This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La persona que decida dedicar su vida a la ciencia no debería contar con una cosa: fama póstuma. La mayoría de los textos científicos son ignorados desde el principio, algunos son discutidos por un tiempo para luego ser archivados, pero solo un reducido número de autores logra generar una nueva orientación de la discusión científica. No obstante, incluso en este último caso sus concepciones pocas veces perduran más de una generación; luego sufren también ese destino que no consiste en haber sido rebatidas, sino más bien en que ellas son desconocidas y finalmente irrelevantes para los miembros de las siguientes generaciones científicas. Así, la discusión con las posiciones de los pensadores que alguna vez fueron celebrados como pioneros se desplaza lentamente de los puestos de honor en las introducciones de los grandes manuales al "limbo de las notas al pie"1, para finalmente sumergirse en el Hades del completo olvido. Su influencia, por consiguiente, ya es tan solo de carácter subterráneo. Lo que escribió Nietzsche sobre el gran filósofo vale cum grano salis también para el gran científico del Derecho: "El filósofo cree que el valor de su filosofía radicaría en la totalidad, en la construcción; la posteridad, por el contrario, lo encuentra en la piedra con la que él construyó y con la cual, de ahora en adelante, se construirá con más frecuencia y de mejor forma, esto es, en que aquella construcción puede ser destruida y, sin embargo, seguirá teniendo valor como material"2. Al pequeño grupo de teóricos del Derecho penal que obtuvieron un doble éxito –abiertamente en tiempos de vida, pero también después, aunque de forma subterránea– pertenece Hans Welzel. Él ejerció como prácticamente ningún otro teórico del siglo XX una profunda influencia no solo sobre la ciencia penal alemana, sino también sobre la hispanoparlante3. Sus principales obras se encuentran traducidas al español4 y también son muy famosas algunas conferencias que pronunció el Welzel tardío en universidades españolas5. Adicionalmente, Welzel influenció muchos y muy importantes penalistas en España y Latinoamérica6. Por tal motivo no sorprende que algunas de las principales tesis del finalismo –teoría del injusto personal, inclusión del dolo en el tipo, distinción entre desvalor de acción y desvalor de resultado, conciencia de la antijuridicidad como elemento autónomo de la culpabilidad y teoría de la culpabilidad– hayan sido reconocidas en la literatura y en la jurisprudencia de muchos países iberoamericanos7 y que varios libros y manuales de reconocida influencia hayan sido construidos en estrecha conexión con algunas de las premisas centrales de Welzel8. En la actualidad, el pensamiento iusfilosófico de Welzel y los postulados metodológicos del finalismo –por ejemplo, la teoría de las estructuras lógico-objetivas– no juegan prácticamente ningún rol ni en el mundo hispanoparlante ni en Alemania. No obstante, las tesis ya mencionadas que Welzel desarrolló a partir de esto último han ingresado tanto aquí como allá en el inventario de las teorías del Derecho penal que sigue siendo reconocido mayoritariamente. Incluso aquellos autores que se distancian radicalmente de Welzel desarrollaron sus propias ideas en gran medida a través de un intenso debate con este: sin Welzel no hay Jakobs. Por consiguiente, el ontologismo de Welzel está presente ex negativo en el enfoque social-funcional de Jakobs.
