Book Synopsis Codifying the National Self by : Bárbara Ozieblo
Download or read book Codifying the National Self written by Bárbara Ozieblo and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theater has always been the site of visionary hopes for a reformed national future and a space for propagating ideas, both cultural and political, and such a conceptualization of the histrionic art is all the more valuable in the post-9/11 era. The essays in this volume address the concept of «Americanness» and the perceptions of the «alien» - as ethnic, class or gendered minorities - as dealt with in the work of American playwrights from Anna Cora Mowatt, through Rachel Crothers or Susan Glaspell, and on to Sam Shepard, David Mamet, Nilo Cruz or Wallace Shawn. The authors of the essays come from a multi-national university background that includes the United States, the United Arab Emirates and various countries of the European Community. In recognition of the multiple components of drama, the essays for the volume were selected in order to exemplify different aspects and theories of theater studies: the playwright, the play, the audience and the actor are all examined as part of the theatrical experience that serves to formulate American national identity.

Book Synopsis Intertextuality in American Drama by : Drew Eisenhauer
Download or read book Intertextuality in American Drama written by Drew Eisenhauer and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new essays in this collection, on such diverse writers as Eugene O'Neill, Susan Glaspell, Thornton Wilder, Arthur Miller, Maurine Dallas Watkins, Sophie Treadwell, and Washington Irving, fill an important conceptual gap. The essayists offer numerous approaches to intertextuality: the influence of the poetry of romanticism and Shakespeare and of histories and novels, ideological and political discourses on American playwrights, unlikely connections between such writers as Miller and Wilder, the problems of intertexts in translation, the evolution in historical and performance contexts of the same tale, and the relationships among feminism, the drama of the courtroom, and the drama of the stage. Intertextuality has been an under-explored area in studies of dramatic and performance texts. The innovative findings of these scholars testify to the continuing vitality of research in American drama and performance.
Book Synopsis Codification, Macaulay and the Indian Penal Code by : Barry Wright
Download or read book Codification, Macaulay and the Indian Penal Code written by Barry Wright and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enacted in 1860, the Indian Penal Code is the longest serving and one of the most influential criminal codes in the common law world. This book commemorates its one hundred and fiftieth anniversary and honours the law reform legacy of Thomas Macaulay, the principal drafter of the Code. The book comprises chapters which examine the general principles of criminal responsibility from the perspective of Macaulay, and from more recent accounts by lawmakers and reformers. These are framed by chapters that examine the history and conceptual underpinnings of Macaulay's Code, consider the need to revitalize the Indian Penal Code, and review the current challenges of principled criminal law reform and codification. This book is a valuable reference on the Indian Penal Code, and current debates about general principles of criminal law for legal academics, judges, legal practitioners and criminal law reformers. It also promises to have wider scholarly appeal, of interest to legal theorists, historians and policy specialists.

Book Synopsis Codifying Contract Law by : Mary Keyes
Download or read book Codifying Contract Law written by Mary Keyes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the advantages and disadvantages of codifying contract law, this book considers the question from the perspectives of both civil and common law systems, referring in detail to issues of international and consumer law. With contributions from leading international scholars, the chapters present a range of opinions on the virtues of codification, encouraging further debate on this topic. The book commences with a discussion on the internationalization imperative for codification of contract law. It then turns to regional issues, exploring first codification attempts in the European Union and Japan, and then issues relevant to codification in the common law jurisdictions of Australia, New Zealand and the United States. The collection concludes with two chapters which consider the need to draw upon both private and comparative international law perspectives to inform any codification reforms. This book will be of interest to international and comparative contract law academics, as well as regulators and policy-makers.
Book Synopsis The Work of the British Law Commissions by : Shona Wilson Stark
Download or read book The Work of the British Law Commissions written by Shona Wilson Stark and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law Commission (of England and Wales) and the Scottish Law Commission were both established in 1965 to promote the reform of the laws of their respective jurisdictions. Since then, they have each produced hundreds of reports across many areas of law. They are independent of government yet rely on governmental funding and governmental approval of their proposed projects. They also rely on both government and Parliament (and, occasionally, the courts or other bodies) to implement their proposals. This book examines the tension between independence and implementation and recommends how a balance can best be struck. It proposes how the Commissions should choose their projects given that their duties outweigh their resources, and how we should assess the success, or otherwise, of their output. Countries around the world have created law reform bodies in the Commissions' image. They may wish to reflect on the GB Commissions' responses to the changes and challenges they have faced to reappraise their own law reform machinery. Equally, the GB Commissions may seek inspiration from other commissions' experiences. The world the GB Commissions inhabit now is very different from when they were established. They have evolved to remain relevant in the face of devolution, the UK's changing relationship with the European Union, increasing pressure for accountability and decreasing funding. Further changes to secure the future of independent law reform are advanced in this book.
Book Synopsis Codification in International Perspective by : Wen-Yeu Wang
Download or read book Codification in International Perspective written by Wen-Yeu Wang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-02-12 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No aspect of legal formalism has interested comparative jurists as much as the extent of legislative codification across legal systems. This book looks at codification from a broad, international perspective, discussing general themes as well as various legal fields. The first of two volumes on this subject begins with a general theoretical and historical view of codification, followed by a series of other horizontal inquiries. It encompasses papers focusing on several significant contemporary issues in codification, including "codification of private law in post-soviet times", "criminal law codification beyond the nation state" and "soft codification of private law". In addition, this volume consists of general reports and national reports on administrative procedure and human rights, providing a comparative analysis of codification of law. This book is developed from papers presented at the 2012 Thematic Congress of the International Academy of Comparative Law.

Book Synopsis Prospects for Codifying the Relationship Between Central and Local Government by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Political and Constitutional Reform Committee
Download or read book Prospects for Codifying the Relationship Between Central and Local Government written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Political and Constitutional Reform Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-01-29 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee has produced its own code, included in this report, for relations between central and local government. The code is intended to replace the estimated 1,293 duties imposed on local government today. The Committee concludes that the balance of power between central and local government is skewed in favour of the centre and needs to be addressed. The devolution of power to Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland has been successful and is an evolving process - there is no apparent reason why local government in England is not capable of using similar powers. Power and finance must go together, if local government is to become an equal partner it should have own source of revenue. Local authorities in England could also have a share of the existing income tax take and local councils freed to raise additional revenue, with the consent of their electorates. English local government lacks some of the most basic constitutional protections that are available to some of its counterparts in a number of other mature European democracies. The Government should examine the possibilities of a stronger constitutional status for local government, through an entrenched statutory code, or a similar proposal. A code for relations between central and local government, enforced by statute, could be beneficial to both tiers of government for several reasons. First, it could help set out exactly where powers do, and should, lie, thereby increasing transparency for the electors. Secondly, it could help redress the overcentralisation of England. Thirdly, it could provide an economic boost that the country sorely needs.

Book Synopsis The Western Codification of Criminal Law by : Aniceto Masferrer
Download or read book The Western Codification of Criminal Law written by Aniceto Masferrer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses an important historiographical gap by assessing the respective contributions of tradition and foreign influences to the 19th century codification of criminal law. More specifically, it focuses on the extent of French influence – among others – in European and American civil law jurisdictions. In this regard, the book seeks to dispel a number of myths concerning the French model’s actual influence on European and Latin American criminal codes. The impact of the Napoleonic criminal code on other jurisdictions was real, but the scope and extent of its influence were significantly less than has sometimes been claimed. The overemphasis on French influence on other civil law jurisdictions is partly due to a fundamental assumption that modern criminal codes constituted a break with the past. The question as to whether they truly broke with the past or were merely a degree of reform touches on a difficult issue, namely, the dichotomy between tradition and foreign influences in the codification of criminal law. Scholarship has unfairly ignored this important subject, an oversight that this book remedies.
