Honour, Masculinity and Corporality in the Officer Corps of Early Eighteenth-Century Sweden
2010
Military honour and physical commitment to serve king and fatherland played a central role in the ideals of the army of Charles XII of Sweden. These ideals were formed within a culture in which the role of the warrior, dictated by a code of honour, was constantly challenged. My main empirical primary sources consist of the archivale records of the Swedish Diet, which included Placement Committee records from the Diet of 1723. An honourable man had the right to a livelihood and a respectable position in society. My aim is to show that, in order to obtain such a position, a military man had to present himself as someone who had offered his body in the service of his king and country. An appea…
The Gentili di Giuseppe Case in France
2001
In ordering the Louvre to return five paintings in its safekeeping to the Gentili di Giuseppe heirs, the Appeal Court of Paris found an appropriate legal solution to the case before it. However, it proved beyond the ability of the court to fully resolve the moral issues
Post memory and cinematic affect in The Midwife
2017
The Second World War has proved a rich source of inspiration for fiction films worldwide. The Finnish fiction film The Midwife (Kätilö, Antti J. Jokinen, 2015) is aimed at an international audience with a story that takes place in the context of the Lapland War in Finland in 1944. The film tells of a romantic relationship between a local woman and a member of the German army, in a highly affective manner. This article argues that the film downplays elements that might have interested the national, or local, audience, and that it privileges affect over knowledge. To bring out the film’s transnational character, the article begins by analysing it in the context of national, or local, and glob…
Camorra e mafie di mezzo in alcuni recenti contributi delle scienze sociali
2018
Interacting with the lively debate on petitions and the various forms of appeal to the authorities written in different spatial and temporal contexts, the article deals with the analysis of a group of “discrimination” requests addressed to the General Directorate for Demography and Race by a sample of female Italian citizens qualified as belonging to the “Jewish race” in Autumn 1938. Women’s petitions represented a minority within the broader corpus of requests for derogation from the Anti-Semitic Fascist legislation. They are nonetheless a source of great importance, both to illuminate the relevance of the “discrimination” procedures from the persecuted point of view, and to shed fresh lig…
Es pot naturalitzar la intencionalitat?
2016
Resum: La intencionalitat és un element central en la nostra comprensió del món. Diàriament atribuïm estats intencionals (com ara creences, desitjos o percepcions) per a poder explicar el comportament d’altres agents, i moltes teories filosòfiques hi apel·len per a entendre altres nocions més complexes. Tanmateix, els estats intencionals són entitats enigmàtiques. Aquest article explica què és la intencionalitat i per què és tan important i problemàtica alhora. En segon lloc, examina diverses teories naturalistes que intenten mostrar que la intencionalitat és compatible amb una visió científica del món. Finalment, com que totes les propostes existents s’enfronten a dificultats significative…
Human Dignity and Legally Protected Goods in Criminal Law
2020
Criminal law protects certain basic goods because they are directly or indirectly connected with the dignity of the person. However, in cases such as euthanasia, prostitution or surrogacy motherhood, the appeal to the dignity of the person is used, in the opposite sense, as the basis for decriminalization. In these cases, dignity is identified with the autonomy of the person and their capacity to dispose of all their goods, even if they are essential. This work argues that there is an ontological core of dignity (requirement of absolute respect) that is subtracted from autonomy and that is protected by the concept of ‘moral integrity’. It prevents certain conducts from being decriminalized …
Why Don't We Do What We Want? Non-Consumers and the Public Dilemma in Cultural Promotion
2005
We deal with tastes and preferences, revising the linkages between both in order to analyse the special case where we express preferences to goods that do not appeal to us. We deduce the concept of a deconstructed demand and define two types of goods (embarrassing and reputable). With the help of this structure we build a demand function for cultural promotion, where the non-market-expressed non-consumers' preferences are the basis of the demand for cultural policies. Finally, in this framework the State faces a dilemma that could be solved in different ways.
The political attribution of values to Intangible Cultural Heritage: the consuetudinary courts
2021
En el año 2009 la UNESCO incluyó el Tribunal de las Aguas de Valencia y el de Hombres Buenos de Murcia en la Lista Representativa del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad. Ambas instituciones de derecho consuetudinario fueron reconocidas a través de la más elevada categoría de protección inmaterial a nivel internacional. A lo largo de las últimas décadas se han emitido resoluciones consultivas (culturales, jurídicas) y desarrollado una agenda de investigación que suscitan el interés por el análisis de los valores atribuidos o atribuibles a ciertas manifestaciones culturales (materiales o inmateriales) cuya apelación serviría a los actores sociales y políticos para justificar su re…
