De persecutione Anglicana by Robert Persons S.J.
Authors: Houliston Victor , Watanabe Akihiko , Nicholas Lucy R. , Dircksen Marianne , Kritzinger Koos , Gianni Donato de , Llewellyn Nancy
Published: October 2023

Robert Persons’s De persecutione Anglicana, composed in the immediate aftermath of the first Jesuit mission to England, at the time of the execution of Edmund Campion, publicized the plight of the English Catholic community under Queen Elizabeth I. It was several times reprinted and translated into Italian, French, English and German, appealing to Catholic Christendom to assist the suffering English Catholics, both at home and in exile. The work is cast in the form of a letter addressed to John Gerard (later to lead an adventurous life as a Jesuit in England), in response to a request for reliable information about the persecution in England. This Latin text and English translation of Robert Persons’s De persecutione Anglicana comprises a critical edition of the first edition of the Latin text (Rouen 1581) with additional material from the authorial revised versions (Paris, Rome and Ingolstadt, 1582), and places the work in its contemporary context, paying special attention to Persons’s involvement in English and European propaganda and in the invasion projects of the duke of Guise.
The Poetry of Emily Dickinson
Authors: Morgan Victoria N.
Published: October 2023

Taking readers through the various stages of criticism of Emily Dickinson's poetry, this guide identifies both the essential critical texts and the key debates within them. The texts chosen for discussion represent the canonical readings which have typically shaped the area of Dickinson studies throughout the twentieth- and twenty-first century and provide a lens through which to view current critical trends.

Chapters focus on style and meaning, gender and sexuality, history and race, religion and hymn culture, and performance and popular culture. In all, this guide serves as a user-friendly reference tool to the vast body of criticism on Dickinson to date by suggesting formative starting points and underlining essential critical highlights.

It provides students and scholars of Dickinson with a sense of where these critical texts can be placed in relation to one another, as well as an understanding of pivotal moments within the history of reception of Dickinson from late nineteenth-century reviews up to some of the definitive critical interventions of the twenty-first century.
The Adventures of the Commodity
Authors: Jappe Anselm
Published: October 2023

The Adventures of the Commodity explores conceptions of a capitalist society that is ordered entirely around the exigencies of the commodity, money and labour.

A distinctive introduction to critiques of capitalism and commodity society, this book illuminates the difficult concept of 'abstract' labour. Merging this with the social critique known as the "critique of value", first developed by Robert Kurz and the German journal, Krisis, in the 1990s, Anselm Jappe highlights in particular a central, and often contested, aspect of this critique: the claim that, for several decades now, capitalism has entered into a crisis that is not cyclical, but terminal. If a society that is founded upon the fetishism of the commodity, on the value created by the abstract side of labour and represented in money, this is the result of the fact that its primary internal contradiction has reached a point of no return: the replacement of living labour, the only source of 'value', by ever-more sophisticated technologies.
The Book of Experience
Authors: Falque Emmanuel
Published: October 2023

Emmanuel Falque, one of the foremost philosophers working in the continental philosophy of religion today, takes us by the hand into the very heart of 12th-century monastic spirituality.

Translated into English for the first time, The Book of Experience weaves together contemporary phenomenological questions with medieval theology, revealing undiscovered dialogues already underway between Hugh of St. Victor and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, between Richard of St. Victor and Emmanuel Levinas, between Aelred of Rievaulx and Michel Henry, and not least between Bernard of Clairvaux and the trio of Descartes, Heidegger, and Jean-Luc Marion, consummating in a masterful phenomenological reading of Bernard’s sermons on the Song of Songs.

Whether it is a question of ‘the idea that comes to God’ (Anselm of Canterbury) or actively ‘feeling oneself fully alive’ (Aelred of Rievaulx or Bernard of Clairvaux), Falque uses these encounters to shed light on both parties, medieval and modern, theological and philosophical.

Leading us through works of art, landscapes, architectures, and liturgies, this major contemporary philosopher of religion clarifies mysteries and discovers experience lying at the heart of the medieval tradition.
Indian Club Swinging and the Birth of Global Fitness
Authors: Heffernan Conor
Published: October 2023

Emerging in colonial India, the fitness fad that was Indian Club Swinging became a global exercise practice in the early 19th century. Used by physicians, soldiers, gymnasts, children and athletes alike, clubs were used to solve numerous social concerns and ills, and often prescribed to treat everything from depression to spinal abnormalities. This book provides a definitive account of the rise and spread of club swinging as it spread from India to Europe and America, asking why and how it became so popular.

Discussing the global, commercial fitness culture of the 19th century, Indian Club Swinging and the Birth of Global Fitness explores how the popularity of this exercise reflected much deeper global and domestic concerns about body image, military preparation and education. Addressing broader questions about nationalism, gender, race and popular commerce across the British Empire, it highlights the origins of our modern transnational fitness culture and shows how it intersected with global and colonial understandings of health, medicine and education.
Religion and Tourism in Japan
Authors: Reader Ian
Published: October 2023

In this study, Ian Reader presents new insights into the relationship between religion and tourism more generally and into the contemporary religious situation in Japan. He counteracts scholarship that claims tourism increases religious activity, shows that tourism is a factor in increasing secularization in Japan and draws attention to the role of the state in such contexts.

Although the Japanese constitution prohibits the state from promoting religion, this book shows how state agencies nonetheless encourage people to visit religious sites, by presenting them as manifestations of a shared heritage, in ways that distance them from ‘religion’. Reader examines theoretical understandings of religion and tourism and presents case studies of famed pilgrimage routes and temples. He shows how Zen monasteries are now ‘tourist brands’ and pilgrimages are the focus of TV entertainment programmes, portrayed as opportunities to eat sweets.

Examining the nationalistic rhetoric of nostalgia and unique heritage that underpins the promotion of religious sites, Reader also considers why priests acquiesce in such matters.
Magazine
Authors: Jarvis Jeff
Published: October 2023

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.

For a century, magazines were the authors of culture and taste, of intelligence and policy - until they were overthrown by the voices of the public themselves online. Here is a tribute to all that magazines were, from their origins in London and on Ben Franklin’s press; through their boom — enabled by new technologies — as creators of a new media aesthetic and a new mass culture; into their opulent days in advertising-supported conglomerates; and finally to their fall at the hands of the internet. This tale is told through the experience of a magazine founder, the creator of Entertainment Weekly at

Time Inc., who was also TV critic at TV Guide and People and finally an executive at Condé Nast trying to shepherd its magazines into the digital age.

Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
Great Debates in Land Law
Authors: Cowan David , O’Mahony Lorna Fox , Cobb Neil
Published: October 2023

While there are plenty of land law textbooks on the market, there is, in general, an absence of critical texts designed for law students to deepen their understanding of the subject. Great Debates in Land Law provides students with the contextual and critical aspects of this exciting topic. Each chapter introduces topics for debate such as “Is tenancy a property or a personal right?” and goes on to include features such as boxed discursive notes from the authors, important cases and suggestions for further reading.

The Great Debates series provides engaging and accessible analysis of the more advanced legal concepts. For books in the major taught subjects, such as land law, the series is designed for use by ambitious students alongside a main course textbook. For books addressing subjects that are less often taught (such as family law), the series provides a clear and critical exposition of the key areas of debate. By focussing on particular questions and tensions underlying a subject, Great Debates titles encourage students to think critically, analyse a topic and gain additional insights. These skills and the discursive nature of the series, with an emphasis on contentious topics, are also useful for students when preparing their dissertations.
American Film in the Digital Age
Authors: Sickels Robert C.
Published: October 2023

This eclectic, yet comprehensive analytical overview of the cataclysmic changes in the American film industry since 1990 shows how they have collectively resulted in a new era—The Digital Age.

The American film industry has entered a new era. American Film in the Digital Age traces the industrial changes since 1990 that have brought us to this point, namely: the rise of media conglomerates, the proliferation of pornography through peripheral avenues of mainstream media, the role of star actors and directors in distributing and publicizing their own pet projects, the development of digital technology, and the death of truly independent films.

Author Robert Sickels draws straight lines from the movies to music, DVDs, video games, fast food, digital-on-demand, and more, to demonstrate how all forms of media are merging into one. He explores the irony that the success of independent films essentially killed independent cinema, showing how it has become almost impossible to get a film released without the imprimatur of one of the big six media companies―Fox, Viacom, TimeWarner, Disney, General Electric, or CBS. In the end, using recent, popular films as examples, he explains not only how we got where we are, but where we’re likely headed as well.
The Baby Boomer Encyclopedia
Authors: Gitlin Martin
Published: October 2023

This encyclopedia defines and contextualizes the Baby Boomer generation and the wide-reaching contributions of its members throughout modern American history.

Comprising some 80 million Americans born between 1946 and 1965, the Baby Boomers have significantly changed every aspect of American history and culture. The members of this generation experienced some of the most tumultuous times in American history; indeed, the Boomers helped create these pivotal eras. From the advent of rock and roll to disco and rap, from the sexual revolution to the arrival of AIDS, and from race riots to the election of a black president, Baby Boomers have seen it all.

Through nearly 100 alphabetically arranged entries, this encyclopedia gives later generations insight into the contributions of the Baby Boomers, and it helps members of that generation better contextualize their own experiences. Included entries are written in a clear and engaging manner, covering politics and activism, entertainment, the economy, gender roles, arts, pop culture, sports, religion, drug and alcohol use, and many other subject areas.
Breakthrough
Authors: DiNardo Richard L.
Published: October 2023

An expert on German military history offers the first extensive, English-language study of one of the critical campaigns of World War I.

The Eastern Front in World War I has been neglected for too long. Breakthrough: The Gorlice-Tarnow Campaign, 1915 is the first English-language study of the first of the great breakthrough battles of the war—one of the Great War’s critical campaigns.

The book covers the initial attack of the German Eleventh Army and the Austro-Hungarian Third and Fourth Armies in Galicia as they outflanked the Russian position in the Carpathian Mountains that threatened Hungary. Subsequent chapters cover the retaking of Galicia, including the recapture of Przemysl and Lemberg. The examination concludes with the German and Austro-Hungarian forces under the command of August von Mackensen turning north from Lemberg and the subsequent overrunning of Russian Poland by the Central Powers.
Combatant Commands
Authors: Watson Cynthia A.
Published: October 2023

A one-stop resource for information about U.S. military commands and their organizations, this book describes the six geographic combat commands and analyzes their contributions to national security.

The first book on the topic, Combatant Commands: Origins, Structure, and Engagements is a unique introduction to the geographic commands that are now at the heart of the U.S. military deployment abroad. The book begins with a description of the six commandsâNorthern Command, Pacific Command, Central Command, Southern Command, European Command, and Africa Commandâexplaining how they fit into the current national security establishment. Each command is discussed in depth, including areas of responsibility, subcommands, priorities, threats faced, and engagement institutions.

The history of joint combatant commands is outlined as well, particularly the impact of the Root Reforms of the early 20th century, the push for the 1947 National Security Act, and the 1986 Goldwater-Nichols Military Reform Act. In this way, the evolution of combatant commands becomes a window through which to view changes in the U.S. military. Geographic combatant commands are vital to national security. By understanding how they work, readers will better understand where our military is today and where it may be headed.
The Forgotten History of African American Baseball
Authors: Hogan Lawrence D.
Published: October 2023

This text gives readers the chance to experience the unique character and personalities of the African American game of baseball in the United States, starting from the time of slavery, through the Negro Leagues and integration period, and beyond.

For 100 years, African Americans were barred from playing in the premier baseball leagues of the United States—where only Caucasians were allowed. Talented black athletes until the 1950s were largely limited to only playing in Negro leagues, or possibly playing against white teams in exhibition, post-season play, or barnstorming contests—if it was deemed profitable for the white hosts. Even so, the people and events of Jim Crow baseball had incredible beauty, richness, and quality of play and character. The deep significance of Negro baseball leagues in establishing the texture of American history is an experience that cannot be allowed to slip away and be forgotten.

This book takes readers from the origins of African Americans playing the American game of baseball on southern plantations in the pre-Civil War era through Black baseball and America's long era of Jim Crow segregation to the significance of Black baseball within our modern-day, post-Civil Rights Movement perspective.
The Frontier Newspapers and the Coverage of the Plains Indian Wars
Authors: Reilly Hugh J.
Published: October 2023

This book offers a revealing look at how newspapers covered the key events of the Plains Indian Wars between 1862-1891—reporting that offers some surprising viewpoints as well as biases and misrepresentations.

The Frontier Newspapers and the Coverage of the Plains Indian Wars takes readers back to the late 19th century to show how newspaper reporting impacted attitudes toward the conflict between the United States and Native Americans.

Emphasizing primary sources and eyewitness accounts, the book focuses on eight watershed events between 1862 and 1891—the Great Sioux Uprising in Minnesota, the Sand Creek Massacre, the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, the Battle of the Little Big Horn, the Flight of the Nez Perce, the Cheyenne Outbreak, the Trial of Standing Bear, and the Massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890 and its aftermath. Each chapter examines an individual event, analyzing the balance and accuracy of the newspaper coverage and how the reporting of the time reinforced stereotypes about Native Americans.
International Law and the Use of Force
Authors: Scott Shirley V. , Billingsley Anthony John , Michaelsen Christopher
Published: October 2023

This book is a discussion of key documents that explain the development, current status, and relevance of the international law governing the initiation of military hostilities.

International Law and the Use of Force: A Documentary and Reference Guide brings to life a crucial body of law, explaining its historical origins, the core rules and principles of the regime embodied in the Charter of the United Nations, and contentious aspects of that law in the contemporary world.

In light of the intensified interest in the question of justified or unjustified use of force, this timely resource introduces and analyzes over 40 documents relating to the legality of the initiation of military hostilities. The volume presents competing assessments of the legality of key uses of force and explains mainstream positions on important issues such as national right to self-defense, anticipatory and preemptive self-defense, terrorism, aggression, and the role of the UN Security Council. The book concludes by assessing whether the international law that seeks to limit the number of wars has in fact made the world a more peaceful place.
Killing the President
Authors: Oliver Willard M. , Marion Nancy E.
Published: October 2023

This book offers an analysis of every American presidential assassination and various attempted assassinations, examining the events surrounding each event and the people involved.

The assassinations and attempted assassinations of American presidents were pivotal events that reverberated throughout the nation, even in cases where the murder was botched. The individuals behind each plot are often fascinating studies in obsession and distorted perception of reality—like President James Garfield's assassin, who spent an extra dollar on the gun he chose for the act simply because it would look better in a museum display after the event.

For the first time under one cover, this text offers a concise study of every presidential assassination, attempt, and rumor. Each chapter focuses on a single American assassination, providing an analysis of the president, the assassin, and the events that shaped their arrival at that place in time. The chapter then describes the assassination or attempt itself and the long-term impacts of the crime. Accounts of the more contemporary incidents involving Presidents John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush especially demonstrate the evolution of the monumental task of protecting the U.S. president in a free and open society.
The Nexus
Authors: Shanty Frank
Published: October 2023

This timely and important work offers an in-depth analysis of the existence—or nonexistence—of a nexus between international terrorism and drug trafficking emanating from Afghanistan.

The Nexus: International Terrorism and Drug Trafficking from Afghanistan addresses an issue that directly impacts the prospects for resolution of the current insurgency in that nation. Written by noted terrorism expert Frank Shanty, the book explores the nature and the extent of involvement between international criminal drug traffickers, particularly of drugs originating from Afghanistan, and international terrorist networks with global reach.

Shanty dispels the myths and disinformation surrounding this vital—and controversial—question, even as he arrives at his own answers. In addition to offering a historical overview of the opium problem in Afghanistan from the late 1970s to 2010, the book looks at three distinct phenomena. It examines the existence, characteristics, and behavior of international terrorists operating from Afghanistan, specifically the evolution and ascendancy of al-Qaeda and the Taliban and the nature of their relationship. It looks at Afghanistan's opium trade relative to specific-actor involvement and, finally, it analyzes allegations of a link between terrorists in Afghanistan and international drug criminals and the implications of that connection.
The Ego Made Manifest
Authors: Bradshaw Wayne
Published: October 2023

From Karl Marx to Wyndham Lewis, this book examines Max Stirner’s influence on the modern manifesto.

Max Stirner has long proven to be an elusive figure at the fringes of 19th-century German idealism. He has been portrayed as the father of the philosophical dead end that was egoistic anarchism: a withered branch of an ineffectual movement, remembered largely because of its suggestion that crime was a valid form of revolutionary action. From this perspective, egoists subscribed to extreme forms of anarchism and defended acts of theft, assault, and even murder; egoism only held lasting appeal to rebels, nihilists, and criminals; and Stirner’s ideas could – and should – be consigned to the dustbin of history accordingly.

The Ego Made Manifest argues that many of the accepted truisms about Stirner and his reception are false and that his contribution to modernist and avant-garde manifesto-writing traditions has been overlooked. Beginning with his influence on Marx’s Communist Manifesto, Wayne Bradshaw reinserts Stirner into the history of manifestos that not only rebelled against tradition but sought to take ownership of history, culture, and people’s minds. This study documents the trajectory of Stirner’s reception from mid-19th-century Germany to his rediscovery by German and American readers almost 50 years later, and from his popularity among manifesto writers in fin de siée Paris to the birth of Italian Futurism. Finally, it considers how American and British interest in egoism helped inspire Vorticism’s satirical approach to revolt, and how, in an age of extremism, Stirner’s ideas continue to haunt the modern mind.
The Ethics of Immediacy
Authors: McCurry Jeffrey
Published: October 2023

Drawing connections between Freudian psychoanalysis, Virginia Woolf’s criticism and fiction, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology, The Ethics of Immediacy recounts the far-reaching consequences of the modern turn towards a new ethics of immediacy.

During the first half of the 20th century, a profound transformation – an existential revolution – took place in European culture in how human beings conceived of themselves. Inspired by Freud’s psychoanalysis, a newfound appreciation for the realm of immediate experience in human life emerged. With Freud himself making a signal contribution to this existential revolution, and with Woolf and Merleau-Ponty taking up Freud’s ideas in their own unique ways, all three figures began to regard first-order, spontaneous, direct, unselfconscious, concrete experience of self and world as standing at the heart of what it means to be human.

Jeffrey McCurry describes how this new state of affairs stood in contrast to how immediate experience had been historically dismissed, devalued, repressed, and even negated in the fields of psychology, literature, and philosophy. This experience posed dangers to psychological stability, social order, and philosophical certainty. McCurry examines how Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, Woolf’s modernist criticism and fiction, and Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology, psychology, literature, and philosophy in turns embraced the risks and dangers of putting immediate experience as the center of humanity, of respecting, understanding, appreciating, and following the lead of immediate, spontaneous, pre-reflective, pre-evaluative, concrete experience in human life.
Inappropriate Journal Authorship
Authors:   University of Rochester Medical Center, James P. Wilmot Cancer Institute, Rochester, New York, USA, Lichtman Marshall
Published: October 2023

In their article “Authorship Disputes in Scholarly Biomedical Publications and Trust in the Research Institution” in the July 2023 issue of RMMJ, Ashkenazi and Olsha examined the association between the prevalence of misattributed authorship and trust in the institution analyzing misconduct in their scholarly publications. The authors, appropriately, include “gift authorship” as one of the three principal deviations from appropriate authorship choices that they examined. In essence, gift or honorary authorship is listing an author on a scholarly publication for which that person’s contribution did not justify assigning authorship. This behavior has become commonplace.

We would like to thank Professor Marshall Lichtman for his letter, his interesting proposal, and using this venue to promote discussion of the topic. Professor Lichtman proposed a numerical calculation for authorship based on the authors’ perceptions of their relative contribution to a scientific publication, an idea also suggested by Jozsef Kovacs. The only limitation imposed by this system is that the total of all authors’ fractional contributions to any one publication equals no more than one. Lichtman’s interesting proposal serves as a disincentive to offer gift authorship to colleagues whose contributions were minimal, if they contributed at all.
Las sanciones tributarias: un viaje a lo imposible
Authors: Esteban Marina Ángel
Published: October 2023

I. PRESENTACION
Opinión pública, partidos políticos y prensa son unánimes en afirmar que en la actualidad el fraude fiscal alcanza cotas jamás alcanzadas, con haber sido éstas muy altas en períodos anteriores. Invito a la lectura de las Exposiciones de Motivos de las diversas reformas tributarias habidas en España desde 1940; se podrá comprobar que tales reformas han tenido como motivo fundamental la lucha contra el mencionado fraude. La situación presente del mismo es el exponente más claro del escaso éxito obtenido por todos y cada uno de los legisladores anteriores.
Parece acercarse una nueva modificación de la Ley General Tributaria; inclusive se habla de la publicación de un texto íntegro de la misma que habría de sustituir al actualmente vigente. Por lógica, deberán ser muchas las figuras jurídico-tributarias que han de ser objeto de reforma. No en vano han transcurrido más de treinta años desde que se publicó el primer texto de dicha ley y, en tan largo lapso de tiempo, los cambios en normas y usos políticos, sociales, económicos y jurídicos han sido muy notables.
Probablemente uno de los aspectos más necesitados de corrección es el relativo a las normas sobre el régimen de sanciones por infracciones tributarias, pues actualmente se dan en el citado régimen incoherencias en unos casos, disfunciones o contrasentidos en otros, que casi siempre generan injusticias, en ocasiones palmarias. Al análisis histórico y situación presente del mencionado régimen se dedican las líneas que siguen.

La modalidad procesal especial de tutela de la libertad sindical y de los demás derechos fundamentales
Authors: García Viña Jordi
Published: October 2023

1.er Premio Estudios Financieros 1999.Modalidad: Derecho del Trabajo y Seguridad Social
La libertad sindical es uno de los derechos fundamentales y libertades públicas que se encuentra regulado en el artículo 28.1 de la Constitución Española. Su ubicación no es causal, sino fruto de la voluntad del legislador de ofrecer a este derecho una especial consideración, de manera que pueda ejercitarse con las mayores facilidades.
Uno de los elementos que desarrollan este interés es la consideración de los mecanismos jurídicos necesarios que deben entrar en juego cuando esta libertad fundamental es obstaculizada. Así, son varias las herramientas que el ordenamiento jurídico dispone para asegurar el cumplimiento de esta voluntad.
Existen remedios jurídicos desde un punto de vista constitucional, principalmente por medio del recurso de amparo, así como en todos los órdenes jurisdiccionales. Concretamente, los ámbitos civiles, penales y administrativos quedan cubiertos por normas correspondientes. Sin embargo, es en materia laboral donde mayor protección aparece a raíz de su regulación en el Texto Refundido de la Ley de Procedimiento Laboral.
La modalidad procesal especial de tutela de la libertad sindical y de los demás derechos fundamentales, regulada en los artículos 175 a 182, pretende solventar los mayores problemas en esta especialidad. Ahora bien, son varias las cuestiones que se plantean cuando se intentan solventar las lesiones que genera la realidad. Entre ellas cabe destacar los ámbitos subjetivos y objetivos, los aspectos de legitimación activa y pasiva, así como la presencia del Ministerio Fiscal, el carácter urgente y preferente, los métodos de inversión de la carga de la prueba, así como el contenido de la sentencia, principalmente, la indemnización que se genera cuando se aprecia dicha lesión.
El recargo en las prestaciones económicas de la Seguridad Social por accidente de trabajo y enfermedad profesional por falta de medidas de seguridad e higiene. Concepto y análisis jurisprudencial
Authors: Parada Torralba M.ª Isabel
Published: October 2023

El presente artículo recoge un completo análisis de una compleja figura jurídica, cual es el recargo en prestaciones de la Seguridad Social derivado de accidente de trabajo y enfermedad profesional, a imponer cuando concurren faltas de medidas de seguridad e higiene en el trabajo.
Como es sabido, dicha figura es una de las diversas consecuencias que se derivan de un accidente o enfermedad laboral en que concurra la citada falta de medidas, debiendo adicionarse la posible responsabilidad penal, civil y administrativa.
Se procura examinar, fundamentalmente, los problemas de duplicidad sancionadora y tipicidad, así como los complejos requisitos de infracción, nexo causal y culpabilidad; de ineludible exigencia para la procedencia del mencionado recargo en prestaciones.
Su finalidad, por tanto, es ofrecer un profundo análisis teórico-práctico de un instituto jurídico íntimamente vinculado a una materia tan actual, problemática y humana como es la prevención de los riesgos laborales.
La reducción del tiempo de trabajo en Francia: la Ley de 13 de junio de 1998 y normas de desarrollo: balance y nuevo proyecto de Ley de 1999
Authors: González Sánchez José Juan
Published: October 2023

El año pasado publicábamos en la Revista Tribuna Social, que dirige el Profesor García Ninet, dos trabajos: sobre las nuevas tendencias para la lucha contra el desempleo en la Unión Europea, uno, y sobre la ley de orientación e incitación a la reducción del tiempo de trabajo en Francia o Ley de las 35 horas, otro.
En el primero poníamos de manifiesto cómo la reducción del tiempo de trabajo es observada por los especialistas como un elemento coadyuvante a la creación de empleo; una medida que, junto a la distribución irregular y flexible del tiempo de trabajo a lo largo del año, es propiciada por las directrices de la Comisión Europea y facilitada por las normas comunitarias y nacionales como elemento dinamizador del mercado laboral.
Por otra parte, en el segundo documento, fruto de un trabajo de investigación realizado en el Centre de Droit Comparé du Travail et de la Sécurité Sociale de la Universidad Montesquieu-Bordeaux IV, escribíamos sobre la evolución del tiempo de trabajo y la Ley 98/461 de 13 de junio (Journal Officiel de 14 de junio de 1998), así como sobre sus normas de desarrollo.
Con estas páginas que ahora nos publica la Revista CEF de Trabajo y Seguridad Social, deseamos contribuir al debate abierto en España, recogiendo los aspectos más sobresalientes del proceso de elaboración y aprobación de la ley francesa, de su contenido, así como de las dificultades e incertidumbres jurídicas para su aplicación.
Además, en estos días se discute otra vez en Francia sobre un nuevo proyecto de ley que debiera aprobarse en otoño de 1999, como prevé la propia Ley de 13 de junio de 1998 y que debe completarla.De todo ello damos cumplida cuenta a la vez que incorporamos a este trabajo la traducción que en su día hicimos del texto de la ley y sus normas de desarrollo para el Instituto de Estudios Laborales y de la Seguridad Social de la Universidad de Barcelona.

La rotación de la alta dirección en los procesos de fusión y adquisición: el caso de la banca privada española 1987-1993
Authors: Iborra Juan María
Published: October 2023

En este trabajo pretendemos abordar la problemática de la rotación de la alta dirección en los procesos de fusión y adquisición; para ello analizamos en primer lugar cómo la literatura ha evaluado y ha interpretado los altos niveles de rotación directiva que acompañan a dichas opciones estratégicas, recurrimos para ello a tres teorías que en el ámbito de las fusiones y adquisiciones ofrecen respuestas diferentes a dicho fenómeno. Concretamente hacemos referencia a la teoría del mercado por el control corporativo, al enfoque del proceso, y al enfoque de recursos y capacidades.
En segundo lugar presentamos las conclusiones de los principales estudios que han tratado de explicar las causas de los altos niveles de rotación que caracterizan a las fusiones y adquisiciones, apostando por aquellas explicaciones relacionadas con el posicionamiento relativo y las diferencias de poder y estatus. Asimismo intentamos poner de manifiesto las limitaciones que, a nuestro parecer, tienen los estudios desarrollados hasta el momento y que contribuyen sólo a ofrecer una respuesta parcial al fenómeno de la rotación de la alta dirección en las fusiones y adquisiciones.
En tercer y último lugar, y a partir de las conclusiones anteriores llevamos a cabo un estudio empírico, cuya metodología difiere de la utilizada por los estudios realizados hasta la fecha, centrándonos en el estudio de un caso, y analizando y evaluando la cuantía, cadencia y causas de la rotación de la alta dirección en el marco de los procesos de fusión y adquisición de la banca privada española en el período 1987-1993. Dicho estudio nos permite afirmar que la rotación directiva en los bancos que han participado en procesos de fusión y adquisición es significativamente superior a la de los bancos españoles que no han participado. Asimismo se puede afirmar que se trata de una rotación temprana que se produce en los primeros años tras la operación y en la que las causas relacionadas con el posicionamiento relativo parecen ofrecer una explicación de dicha rotación.
Creemos que los resultados de este trabajo deberían ser utilizados como un indicador claro de los problemas de integración inherentes a las opciones estratégicas de crecimiento externo por fusión y adquisición y como un elemento de reflexión y ayuda para la alta dirección de las empresas que decidan involucrarse en estas opciones estratégicas.

El problema de la custodia de los edificios se ha configurado, sobre todo en los últimos años, como uno de los temas más controvertidos en el quehacer diario de las comunidades de propietarios. De hecho, el constante aumento en los gastos inherentes al servicio de portería ha llevado a cuestionar el mantenimiento o no del mismo, que frecuentemente se ha resuelto a favor de la sustitución de éste mediante la contratación de una empresa especializada en la actividad de limpieza. El empleado de finca urbana, como trabajador por cuenta ajena, no ha dejado de ser más que un trabajador marginado, al que no se le ha prestado su debida atención. Ahora bien, frente aquellos que han denunciado la falta de relevancia del empleado de finca urbana en el marco jurídico de las relaciones laborales, cabe decir que cada vez son más frecuentes los convenios colectivos que regulan esta típica relación de trabajo, y precisamente en grandes ciudades.
Pero la atención al empleado de finca urbana no solo dimana de la autonomía colectiva. También el legislador laboral se ha ocupado expresamente de él, y sobre todo de sus peculiaridades.
A título introductorio, y sin perjuicio del análisis que se efectuará más adelante, cabe reflexionar sobre la debilidad del carácter «personalísimo» con que debe realizarse la prestación laboral, habida cuenta de la habitualidad de las sustituciones en este sector; o por ejemplo, en la especial configuración jurídica de la comunidad de propietarios como empleador en la medida en que la bilateralidad propia del contrato de trabajo quiebra en sus fundamentos; o en la específica regulación de la jornada de trabajo; o por ejemplo en la particularidad de la retribución, caracterizada por toda una serie de específicos complementos salariales y por un componente en especie, como es el disfrute de la vivienda, que aproxima esta figura a la relación laboral del empleado al servicio del hogar familiar; o por ejemplo en la exigencia de mayorías en la comunidad de propietarios para la supresión del servicio; o en el peculiar régimen del desalojo de la vivienda tras la extinción del contrato.
Agents of change, power, and resistance in the patterns of change of an industrial heritage district: the case of Bellavista, Chile (1970‒2019)

With the global wave of deindustrialization, post- industrial territories have seen local organizations supporting the preservation of industrial heritage. In several cases, these initiatives have met resistance from developers or state- led urban regeneration projects. Using the former textile neighbourhood of Bellavista- Tomé (Chile) as a case study, this paper analyses the combined effect of the site`s morphology and agency of social actors, on the process of changing land use. The methodology used the notion of morphological regions to analyse the neighbourhood’s urban morphology between 1970 and 2019, along with the discourse analysis of semi- structured interviews and secondary data to identify the agency of social actors. The conclusions indicate that, within the neoliberal urban development framework in Chile, the local government has played an ambivalent role regarding the preservation of the industrial fabric. This ambivalence has been greatly influenced by the intrinsic suitability of certain morphological regions for real estate development. The resulting problem threatens the preservation of industrial built legacy and the possibility of promoting urban development while maintaining the local social and cultural identity.
Entre a fé e a desgraça: o tormento do divino em Lúcio Cardoso e Dostoiévski
Authors: Ferreira Raphael Bessa
Published: October 2023

O trabalho tem o objetivo de discutir os pontos temáticos de relação e diálogo entre as poéticas de Lúcio Cardoso e Fiódor Dostoiévski, elencando, em viés comparativista, o legado do autor russo como influência ao escritor brasileiro, de modo a demonstrar não uma relação de dependência, mas de afinidades. Para dar conta de tal empreitada, selecionou-se como aporte teórico da pesquisa a fortuna crítica cardosiana, mais precisamente aquela que se debruçara sob a relação deste enquanto leitor de Dostoiévski, tais como Almeida (2009), Brandão (1998), Carelli (1988), Coelho (2013), Gomide (2011) e Nejar (2011).

Visa-se explorar o potencial da Valeriana officinalis como uma alternativa no tratamento da depressão, através da melhoria dos sintomas de insônia associados a essa condição. A depressão é uma condição de saúde mental amplamente difundida, frequentemente acompanhada por distúrbios do sono, o que agrava ainda mais o quadro clínico dos pacientes. A fitoterapia é um tratamento com custo-benefício conveniente, sendo uma prática utilizada pela população brasileira tanto na medicina tradicional/popular, como também nos programas públicos do sistema único de saúde. O estudo consistiu na revisão da literatura que aborda a eficácia dessa planta medicinal, bem como os mecanismos subjacentes que explicam suas influências. A Valeriana officinalis tem um efeito positivo na redução dos sintomas da depressão, apresentando uma melhora significativa na qualidade do sono, através do mecanismo de inibição do sistema enzimático responsável pelo catabolismo central do ácido γ-aminobutírico, gerando um aumento das concentrações e diminuindo a atividade do sistema nervoso central, atuando ainda nos receptores de serotonina, o que pode ter um impacto positivo na redução dos sintomas depressão. Nesse sentido, o fitoterápico apresenta um potencial eficaz como uma opção terapêutica no tratamento da insônia, conduzindo, a melhora da depressão, apresentando poucos efeitos adversos no tratamento.

Published: October 2023

A regulamentação das relações amorosas é uma realidade no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, tanto que, é objeto de análise do Direito de Família, matéria destinada a proteção dos indivíduos e a intimidade de sua família. Uma vez que resulta da complexidade das relações humanas, esse ramo jurídico mantém-se cercado por novos debates doutrinários e jurisprudenciais. Dentre as mais recentes celeumas, a possibilidade jurídica de celebração de contratos de namoro tem se destacado, uma vez que, trata-se de uma relação sem previsão expressa no Código Civil, se diferenciando do casamento e da união estável em comparação aos requisitos que os qualificam. No namoro, não há a intenção clara de constituição de família, mas apenas a continuidade do relacionamento amoroso, apesar de ser pública e duradoura as partes não têm a intenção de constituírem uma família, cujo contrato tem a finalidade de resguardar os efeitos da união estável, como partilha de bens, pensão, herança e entre outros. Apesar de não disciplinado na legislação e pelas constantes provocações a seu respeito, esse contrato é considerado atípico e poderá ser válido desde que atendidos aos pressupostos legais de existência e validade, cujos elementos e efeitos jurídicos são objetos de estudo neste artigo. Realizado mediante o método dedutivo de pesquisa bibliográfica, este estudo jurídico foi elaborado na forma de revisão de literatura e objetiva a apresentação da discussão doutrinária e jurisprudencial a fim de dimensionar quais os efeitos jurídicos decorrentes de um contrato de namoro.
MAUS-TRATOS A CÃES E GATOS E A DEFESA DA DIGNIDADE ANIMAL: ANÁLISE DA PROTEÇÃO AOS ANIMAIS NÃO HUMANOS APÓS A LEI Nº 14.064/2020
Authors: Maracaipes Elionete Coelho , Mendes Raianne dos Santos
Published: October 2023

O trabalho em questão versa sobre a proteção à dignidade animal após o advento da Lei nº 14.064/2020, que majorou a pena aplicável ao crime de maus-tratos contra cães e gatos disposto na Lei de Crimes Ambientais (Lei nº 9.605/98). Com isso, o objetivo é verificar se, com a edição da Lei nº 14.064/2020, conferiu-se maior tutela à dignidade animal na esfera criminal, notadamente à que tange a cães e gatos. Notou-se, precipuamente, que o direito ambiental no Brasil se desenvolveu paulatinamente ao longo das últimas décadas, e que a Constituição Federal de 1988 foi um importante marco tanto para esse ramo do direito, quanto para a formação do direito animal. Verificou-se, ademais, que o referido ato normativo atribuiu também ao Poder Público o dever de manutenção da conservação do meio ambiente. Observou-se que, hodiernamente, o animal ainda é visto como bem sobre o qual se exerce propriedade, contudo, há parte da doutrina que se filia ao seu caráter de sujeito de direito, em vista de sua senciência. O método de pesquisa utilizado é o dedutivo, a técnica de análise de dados é a qualitativa e a pesquisa é exploratória, documental e bibliográfica. Constata-se que a Lei nº 14.064/2020 foi certeira ao majorar a pena prevista ao crime de maus-tratos contra cães e gato, e que não ofende ao princípio da proporcionalidade e razoabilidade, sendo um instrumento necessário à coibição da prática em detrimento aos animais.
