Handbook On Cyber Hate - The Modern Cyber Evil

~~291,49€~~ 262,34€ 10% OFF

 <p>Cyberhate is defined as racist, discriminatory, negationist and violent statements made on social network platforms, text platforms, comment pages, and more. The Handbook on Cyber Hate, the Modern Cyber Evil, includes twenty-seven chapters from scholars representing over fifteen countries from the Global North and the Global South demonstrating a range of multi-faceted perspectives. While providing such a focus, these papers will also operate with a constantly evolving conceptualization of contemporary societies and their modern cyber-evil. Indeed, modern cyber-evil is a global concern and is primarily based on human minds and activities, and on deviant uses of modern technologies, which may differ ideologically, historically and culturally on the global map of modern legal systems. This plurality of perspectives, which poses a challenge to our future, is a strength of this handbook that offers a variety of foundations, legal perspectives, and popular developments in an effort to suggest measures to combat this modern cyber-evil infecting communications around the world.</p><p>Editors Anne Wagner and Sarah Marusek offer a unique collection of chapters involving the theoretical foundations, legal perspectives, and societal perspectives from popular culture of modern cyber evil in order to address and combat racism on the basis of alleged race, skin color, nationality, descent and national or ethnic origin, etc.; discrimination/xenophobia on the basis of sex, gender, sexual orientation, religious or philosophical beliefs, health status, physical characteristics, etc.; hatred; violence; e-predation; and e-victimization.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Advance Praise for "Handbook on Cyber Hate - The Modern Cyber Evil"</strong></p><p>"In ''Handbook on Cyber Hate - The Modern Cyber Evil'', editors Anne Wagner and Sarah Marusek have masterfully created a much-needed resource for understanding the complex and ever-changing landscape of online hate and cyberbullying. This comprehensive handbook delves deep into the murky waters of cyberevil, offering insightful semiotic and transdisciplinary perspectives from a wide range of international scholars. Each chapter deftly navigates the theoretical, legal, and societal dimensions of cyberhate, shedding light on the complex interplay between technology, law, and culture.</p><p>The book''s exploration of cyber hate is not just academic, but a call to action. It encourages readers, denizens of the digital semiosphere, to recognize and combat the insidious nature of online hate, equipping them with knowledge and strategies for creating a safer digital world. Covering topics from the study of benign exhibitionism, the boundaries between speech and action in cyberhate, legal intricacies of that speech, trolling in social media and hegemonic masculinity, to the cinematic portrayal of cyberbullying and the malicious use of memes: this handbook is a beacon of hope and guidelines in our increasingly digital society.</p><p>What sets this handbook apart is its holistic approach. It not only identifies problems, but in many cases inspires solutions, fostering a culture of responsible digital citizenship and empathy. This is not just a book, but a road map for creating a more inclusive and compassionate online community. As we face the challenges of the digital age, ''Handbook on Cyber Hate - The Modern Cyber Evil'' is an indispensable handbook for researchers, educators, policy makers and all who seek to understand and combat the complexities of cyber hate. This is a must-read for shaping a more respectful and empathetic digital world."</p><p><em>Kristian Bankov, Professor of Semiotics, New Bulgarian University</em></p><p> </p><p>"In the present time of great confusion caused by the blurring of the lines of distincti...

Aesthetics Of Law - From Methodology To Manifestations

~~264,34€~~ 237,91€ 10% OFF

 <p>The aesthetics of law deals with the relationship between law and beauty by searching for aesthetic values in the law itself (an internal perspective), by finding material related to law in art and culture (an external perspective), and, lastly, by demonstrating the impact of legal norms on what can be broadly understood as beauty (law as a tool of aestheticization). Regarding all these phenomena, the aesthetics of law ultimately allows us to see the law more clearly and more profoundly. What is more, the law does not function, nor has it ever functioned, separately from its means of expression, which are incontrovertibly subject to aesthetic interpretation. </p><p></p><p>If we think about law in this way, perceiving not only the message, but also the manner in which it is conveyed, the whole set of means and tools used, the perfection and beauty of the form, then we will see art in it. After all, the widely known and still applicable ancient maxim <i>ius est ars boni et aequi</i> equates law and art. This alone should be an argument for aesthetic reflection on the law, a field of endeavour that should never have been abandoned. </p><p></p><p>The book’s twenty-three chapters, written by scholars from various countries and three continents, are thematically diverse. In them we present the manifestations of the aesthetics of law from an external perspective. If we accept a definition of the concept of law that is as broad as possible, not only as a synonym of a certain formalized normative system, but also including the process of its creation (legislation), its application and interpretation (jurisprudence), and even teaching on and research into it (doctrine), we can identify a wealth of aesthetic references in the law. </p><p>A broadly understood aesthetics of law, approached solely from an external perspective, covers such disciplines as law and literature, the aesthetics of legal rhetoric, the trial as performance, the aesthetics ofcourthouse architecture, law in the fine arts, law in film, law and music, pictorial law, symbols of the law and legal symbols, symbols of the state and power, legal archaeology etc. The field of research is, therefore, wide. In addition to topics traditionally and obviously associated with the aesthetics of law, such as law and literature, law in the fine arts, and court rhetoric, there are chapters on e.g. legal ethics and trademarks. All authors share the belief that beauty in law is important, even when it is hidden in a caricature. Further, they argue for restoring the aesthetics of law to its proper place in philosophical and legal discourse, as doing so would yield a host of benefits for the addressees of law.</p>

Rearguard Of Subjectivity - On Legal Semiotics - Festschrift In Honour Of Jan M. Broekman

171,59€ + 10% CARD

 <div><div><div>Edmund Husserl’s ideas, informed by Kant’s Critiques, constituted a point of departure when rereading philosophical problems of subject and subjectivity. In his "Phänomenologie und Egologie" (1961/63), Jan Broekman revealed how Husserl analysed the "Split Ego" notion in Kant’s vision, which became fundamental for his phenomenology. The form and function of subjectivity were likewise positioned in psychiatry and literature, as well as in aesthetics, as Jan Broekman’s texts on ‘cubism’ demonstrated. Problems of ‘language’ unfolded in studies on topics ranging from the texts of Ezra Pound to the dialogic insights of Martin Buber, all of which were involved in the development of semiotics. Two themes accompanied these insights: the notion and later Parisian mainstream called structuralism, and the urgent need to arrive at deeper insights into the links between Marxism and phenomenology. Central language concepts also played a part: as early as 1986, Jan Broekman published on ‘semiology and medical discourse’, and in 1992 on ‘neurosemiotics’, before addressing the link between speech act and (legal as well as social) freedom in 1993. In all these works, the subject and the atmosphere of subjectivity were essential aspects. In addition to his writing, Jan Broekman gave courses on current philosophical issues, law and medicine until retiring in 1996, and in his "Intertwinements of Law and Medicine" revisited subjectivity aspects, while also offering a synthetic view.</div><div>In this Festschrift in honour of Jan Broekman, the contributions address the analogue/digital dichotomy in semiotics, the multicultural self in language and semiotics, semiology and legal discourse, the legal subject and the atmosphere of subjectivity, intertwinements of law and medicine, the semiotics of law in legal education, signs in law and legal discourse, making meaning in law, and legal speech acts.</div></div></div><div><div><div><div><br></div></div></div></div>

Intercultural Spaces Of Law - Translating Invisibilities

by Mario Ricca

185,49€ + 10% CARD

 <p>This book proposes an interdisciplinary methodology for developing an intercultural use of law so as to include cultural differences and their protection within legal discourse; this is based on an analysis of the sensory grammar tacitly included in categorizations. This is achieved by combining the theoretical insights provided by legal theory, anthropology and semiotics with a reading of human rights as translational interfaces among the different cultural spaces in which people live. To support this use of human rights’ semantic and normative potential, a specific cultural-geographic view dubbed ‘legal chorology’ is employed. Its primary purpose is to show the extant continuity between categories and spaces of experience, and more specifically between legal meanings and the spatial dimensions of people’s lives.</p><p>Through the lens of legal chorology and the intercultural, translational use of human rights, the book provides a methodology that shows how to make space and lawreciprocally transformative so as to create an inclusive legal grammar that is equidistant from social cultural differences. The analysis includes: a critical view on opportunities for intercultural secularization; the possibility of construing a legal grammar of quotidian life that leads to an inclusive equidistance from differences rather than an unachievable neutrality or an all-encompassing universal legal ontology; an interdisciplinary methodology for legal intercultural translation; a chorological reading of the relationships between human rights protection and lived spaces; and an intercultural and geo-semiotic examination of a series of legal cases and current issues such as indigenous peoples’ rights and the international protection of sacred places.</p><p></p>

Human Dignity And The Autonomy Of Law

184,84€ + 10% CARD

 <div><p></p><p>This book intertwines two major themes in contemporary legal theory - the concepts of human dignity and the problem of the autonomy and limits of the law - while also addressing two other key aspects - the first one concerned with human rights practices and foundations (in their direct connections with the issue of dignity), the second one considering the role that the law’s aspirations attribute to the experience of an autonomous subject-person (and the demands that identify his/her position in the dialectical counterpoint with the rethinking of a community). The diversity of perspectives that each of these themes allows is explored in various contexts and with unmistakable implications concerning juridical validity, rule of law practices, pluralism, political and practical-cultural challenges, and divisive "bio-ethical" issues. This means considering the separation or separability theses between law and morality and the juridically relevant experience of person(hood) as a dialectic between autonomy and responsibility, the orthodox and heterodox images of comparable concreteness and incomparable singularity, the challenges of external points of view and interdisciplinary approaches.</p><p></p></div>
