Youth perceptions of violence against women through a sexist chant in the football stadium: an exploratory analysis

2017

Gender-based violence and violence against women (VAW) refers to any violation of fundamental rights. However, some forms of VAW are viewed as unproblematic, acceptable and deserved. Taking into account that sexist chants in football stadiums reinforce VAW, the purpose of the study is to determine how a group of adolescents can normalize or challenge an example of sexist chants. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted and the participants were asked to discuss to what extent the actions could be considered as gender-based violence. Most of the youth were highly unconscious of the sexist nature of the video and only a few recognized it as gender-based violence. Such awareness i…

“Narrative Museums” and Curators’ Rights: The Protection of a Museum Exhibition and Its Scenario under Polish Law

2020

Since at least the 1990s, museums have expanded to cover a variety of societal functions, often enabling inclusive and participatory spaces for critical dialogue about the past and the future, and bridging together various narratives and cultural experiences, contributing to social cohesion and reconciliation. The new functions of museums, involving novel technological forms of display and communication, pose several legal questions concerning the management of such institutions, their resources, and exhibitions, including issues of copyright and other intellectual property rights. While referring to a recent case concerning an alleged infringement of the moral rights of the authors of the …

“A Shameless Ideology of Shameless Women”: Positioning the Other in Social Media Discourse Surrounding a Women’s Rights Movement in Pakistan

2022

This study analyzes social media (YouTube) discourse related to Aurat March 2019, a women’s rights movement in Pakistan. Using a discourse analytical approach that draws on the premises of Positioning theory, the analysis reveals the following two major storylines from the data: “The women who stray from the path, and the men who will return them to it,” and “Islam under threat from the outside.” Social media platforms allow their users to express opinions in online spaces, often resulting in polarization and clustering of like-minded people in so-called echo-chambers. This study demonstrates how social media users actively participate in the discursive construction of the “other,” and how…

Defining “National Treasures” in the European Union. Is the Sky Really the Limit?

2019

The main objective of this article is to analyse the scope of EU Member States’ right to determine national treasures for the purpose of Directive 2014/60/EU on the return of cultural objects. While investigating the issue at the EU, human rights, and constitutional levels, the authors argue that the right to define what constitutes national treasures is not an absolute right. The definition of this particular category of cultural objects cannot be used to circumvent the rules on the free movement of goods and to hamper this freedom in an unjustifiable and arbitrary manner. On the human rights and constitutional levels, Member States’ right cannot interfere with the right to enjoy one’s pos…

Sul significato di "rimedi"

2014

The purpose of this essay is to reframe the conceptual division between rights and remedies by identifying those issues that are generally raised in the legal discourse when dealing with the two perspectives. The focus will be particularly on: policies that govern rights and remedies, judicial discretion, and judicial interpretation. While the traditional account based on a sharp opposition of rights and remedies proved to be untrustworthy, the proposed conceptualization helps to outline the distinction in a more realistic way.

IL LATO OSCURO DEL DIRITTO NELLA CRIMINALIZZAZIONE DEL SOCCORSO IN MARE

2021

L’ideale dell’integrità del diritto come definito da Ronald Dworkin, per cui una serie di valori di fondo condivisi da tutti gli attori in gioco garantiscono comunque che il margine per l’arbitrio delle autorità preposte all’elaborazione e all’applicazione del diritto sia limitato, appare oggi sempre più, per l’appunto, un ideale. È il lato oscuro del diritto, invece, che apre a margini di incertezza rilevanti per i quali è sempre più controverso definire e difendere giuridicamente le azioni commesse in circostanze determinate, quello che sembra in molti contesti prevalere. Il presente Special Issue, esito di un seminario organizzato dal Dipartimento di Giurisprudenza dell’Università degli …

Representation of Children’s Views in Finnish Newspaper Media Across Three Decades

2020

As the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) celebrates its thirtieth anniversary, it is relevant to explore how understandings of children’s rights have appeared during these three decades. As a key public actor in society, the media provides an interesting field in which to study the salience of children’s rights in societal and public discussions. Thus, in this article, we examine how children’s views are represented in «Helsingin Sanomat», the main national newspaper of Finland, in 1997, 2007, and 2017. This examination is based on articles 12 and 13 of the UNCRC, where it is stated that children have the right to express themselves in all matters affecting them. …

La controvertida indemnización por lesión de los derechos fundamentales de las personas trabajadoras

2021

El reconocimiento y cuantificación de las indemnizaciones por vulneración de derechos fundamentales en el orden social de la jurisdicción ha sido, desde siempre, y por diferentes razones, una cuestión especialmente compleja. En ciertos casos ¿como sucede con la automaticidad del daño moral derivado de la violación del derecho fundamental- las contradicciones y vaivenes judiciales son ya un ¿clásico¿ en la materia; en otros, las dudas guardan relación con el significado y la repercusión que una incorporación legal efectuada por la LRJS -la finalidad preventiva de la indemnización- debe tener en la práctica judicial; y, finalmente, las discrepancias se refieren a la posibilidad misma de conce…
