Circulation And Control - Artistic Culture And Intellectual Property In The Nineteenth Century

by Marie-Stéphanie Delamaire

6,99€

 The nineteenth century witnessed a series of revolutions in the production and circulation of images. From lithographs and engraved reproductions of paintings to daguerreotypes, stereoscopic views, and mass-produced sculptures, works of visual art became available in a wider range of media than ever before. But the circulation and reproduction of artworks also raised new questions about the legal rights of painters, sculptors, engravers, photographers, architects, collectors, publishers, and subjects of representation (such as sitters in paintings or photographs). Copyright and patent laws tussled with informal cultural norms and business strategies as individuals and groups attempted to exert some degree of control over these visual creations. With contributions by art historians, legal scholars, historians of publishing, and specialists of painting, photography, sculpture, and graphic arts, this rich collection of essays explores the relationship between intellectual property laws and the cultural, economic, and technological factors that transformed the pictorial landscape during the nineteenth century. This book will be valuable reading for historians of art and visual culture; legal scholars who work on the history of copyright and patent law; and literary scholars and historians who work in the field of book history. It will also resonate with anyone interested in current debates about the circulation and control of images in our digital age.

Considering issues such as intellectual property, copyright and comics, digital publishing and remixing, and what it means (not) to say one is an author, these vibrant essays urge us to view central aspects of writing and publishing in a new light.

What are Forensic Sciences? - Concepts, Scope and Future Perspectives

by Ricardo Jorge Dinis-Oliveira e Teresa Magalhães

13,59€ + 10% CARD

 The forensic sciences are, today, an attractive and a complex "new world", from their scientific point of view and the individual and social impact they have. In a broad sense, the forensic sciences refer to the application of the knowledge of various sciences to clarify facts that are - or might be - judged in a legal or judicial level and in the criminal context, as well as in other areas of law. There are various disciplines within the forensic sciences, but we focused on those that are already are robust and individualized enough. Their designations are not always clear, and the limits of the areas of intervention of each one are not always obvious. With this book we want to contribute to the explanation of these aspects, hoping to promote a better recognition and the consequent connection between the different professionals operating in this area. But, despite their great diversity, all these sciences are united by common and fundamental notions, including the object, the objectives and the general methodology of their intervention - an evidentiary activity of scientific nature as an aid in the application of justice. These commonalities should be the engine of steady and good cooperation between the various sciences, since the resolution of many cases often requires an increasingly multidisciplinary participation. This book is also a tribute to Duarte Nuno Vieira, one of the most famous forensic specialists in the world. Topics - Forensic ballistics - Forensic biomechanics - Forensic botany - Forensic palynology - Document examination - Forensic nursing - Forensic entomology - Forensic photography - Forensic genetics - DNA database - Forensic geology - Computer forensics - Bloodstain pattern analysis - Forensic investigation on explosive atmospheres and explosives - Forensic investigation in forest fires - Forensic linguistics - Lophoscopy - Forensic odontology - Forensic medicine - Clinical forensic medicine - Forensic pathology - Forensic psychology - Forensic psychiatry - Forensic chemistry - Forensic social work - Forensic toxicology Preface Aurelio Luna Maldonado Full Professor of Forensic Medicine, University of Murcia

The Emergence Of European Society Through Public Law : A Hegelian And Anti-Schmittian Approach - A Hegelian And Anti-Schmittian Approach

by Armin Von Bogdandy

~~0,01€~~ 0,01€ 10% OFF

 Many Europeans struggle to understand where EU-centred Europeanization has led them. The standard response - that their situation is sui generis, one of a kind - no longer holds. Brexit, conflicts over European financial transfers, immigration, or dubious judicial reforms in some Member States demand a more substantial answer. Against that background, The Emergence of European Society Through Public Law: A Hegelian and Anti-Schmittian Approach frames European integration by reconstructing European public law in light of Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). According to Article 2, all Europeans today are part of one society. European integration may not have produced a European federal state, but it has helped create a European society. This society is intimately interwoven with European public law, as the Treaty characterizes it with 12 constitutional principles. The book interprets this statement as the manifesto, identity, and constitutional core of a democratic society. Thus, Europeans should understand that European integration has ushered in a European democratic society. Comprehensive and engaging, The Emergence of European Society Through Public Law examines the great debates of European public law and presents them in a new and forward-looking reconstruction. This new narrative of European legal integration will appeal to academics and students of EU law, constitutional and comparative law, sociology, political science, and legal history.The Emergence of European Society Through Public Law is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to download from OUP and selected open access locations.

~~230,49€~~ 207,44€ 10% OFF

 Law firms are undergoing structural change at a pace not previously seen in the profession. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are reshaping research, drafting, and knowledge work; clients are demanding increasing levels of efficiency, transparency, and innovation; and alternative legal service providers and the Big Four continue to expand, offering clients an ever-widening array of options and restricting law firms slice of the market. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in legal operations and practice, legal professionals and support teams find their roles evolving, moving beyond pure practice support into a more strategic function. As profitability pressures intensify in response to technological innovation, law firms are hiring beyond the traditional associatepartner track. Roles that barely existed five years ago such as legal engineer, head of AI, legal data scientist, or client solutions architect are now central to firm strategy, directly impacting profitability, operational efficiency, and competitive differentiation. However, this wave of innovation has brought uncertainty and risk, and many firms stand at the precipice of an AI-enabled transformation, convinced that these newly formed roles and technologies are critical to future success but unsure of how they should be operationalized to create increased value, efficiency, and productivity. Currently, there is no comprehensive, practical guide to aid firms in navigating this unchartered territory. Rising Roles in Law: Designing the AI-Enabled, Data-Driven Law Firm fills that gap, delving into the people and roles driving transformation and mapping the workforce architecture of the AI-enabled firm. In a first-of-its-kind guide to the AI-enabled law firm workforce, law firm leaders, innovation professionals, and technologists will explore what these newly formed roles involve, how they interact, how firms should structure them, and what this means for leadership and career pathways. With emphasis on practical insight, case studies and implementation guidance, Rising Roles in Law will equip readers with the data-driven insights and actionable strategies needed to embrace AI's potential and harness its power to shape the future of legal operations.

'Secret' Family Court - Fact Or Fiction?

by Clifford Bellamy

11,02€ + 10% CARD

 For approaching two decades, family courts have been accused of making life changing decisions about children and who they live with made in secret, away from the scrutiny of the public gaze. Recognising the force of these accusations, senior family courts judges have, over that time, implemented a raft of rule changes, pilot projects and judicial guidance aimed at making the family justice more accountable and transparent.But has any progress been made? Are there still suspicions that family judges make irrevocable, unaccountable decisions in private hearings? And if so, are those suspicions justified and what can be done to dispel them?In this important and timely new book, Clifford Bellamy, a recently retired family judge who has been at the sharp end of family justice during all these changes, attempts to answer those questions and more. He has spoken to leading journalists, judges and academic researchers to find out what the obstacles to open reporting are be they legal, economic or cultural - and interweaves their insights with informed analysis on how the laws regulating family court reporting operate. Along the way he provides a comprehensive review of the raft of initiatives he has seen come and go, summarises the position now and uses this experience to suggest how this fundamental aspect of our justice system could adapt in the face of this criticism.Every professional working in the family justice system lawyers, social workers, court staff and judges - as well as those who job it is to report on legal affairs, should read this informative, nuanced exposition of what open justice means and why it matters so much to those whose lives are upended by the family justice system.
