Derecho de acceso a la información : el desafío de una sociedad guiada por la transparencia en el ordenamiento jurídico español
2021
This study will address the two aspects of rights linked to information, the right to information and the right to information, to end with the formulation of some conclusions that, distancing themselves from a mere summary, seek to encourage doctrinal and political debate on assumptions that, being peacefully settled, should be reformulated in light of the repeated crisis of transparency. For this, it will be articulated by addressing, first, the most significant aspects of the right to information and its link with the right to freedom of expression, as well as the new challenges that these rights face in the digital age, to then analyze the right to information, its regulation in the Spa…
Spain: Conviviality, Social Relationships and Democracy at the Basis of Spanish Sports Clubs’ Culture
2020
This chapter provides an overview of the main functions of sports clubs in Spanish society with regard to social integration, democratic involvement and voluntary work. At the European level, Spanish sports clubs are among the front-runners in terms of presence of people with disabilities, at the average when it comes to people with migrant background and far below the average concerning people over 65 years old and women. Talking about democratic involvement and engagement for the community, most of the clubs try to involve members when making important decisions and delegate decision-making from the board to their committees. On the other hand, their members report the democratic culture …
Striking a balance between disinformation on social media platforms and freedom of expression in the European Union
2022
The growing influence and adverse effects of disinformation on social media platforms have already presented challenges not only to the European Union and its Member States but also to social media platforms and human rights activists. One of the most crucial challenges from a legal perspective has been finding the appropriate tools to regulate disinformation while preserving the right to freedom of speech, bearing in mind that there is no uniform definition of disinformation on a global level. While there are notable attempts to limit the spread of disinformation on social media platforms from the European Commission and the various Member States, this thesis aims to analyse their effectiv…

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT? FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND LABOUR LAW IN TIMES OF SOCIAL NETWORKS
2022
Il saggio esamina i limiti all'utilizzo dei social network del lavoratore nel contesto della re-lazione di lavoro e nella vita privata. Nella prima parte ci si sofferma sulla questione del monitoraggio tecnologico dei dipendenti, alla luce della disciplina in tema di privacy e con-trollo a distanza dei lavoratori. Nella seconda parte l'attenzione è concentrata sulle condot-te extra lavorative e sulla loro possibile incidenza sulla relazione lavorativa. Filo condutto-re dell'analisi è la verifica degli spazi di tutela dei diritti della personalità, alla luce dell'ap-plicazione giurisprudenziale più recente. The current work examines the boundaries to the use of social networks by workers wit…

Democrazia deliberativa e Convenzione europea dei diritti umani
2010
Deliberative democracy and the European Convention on Human Rights Theories of deliberative democracy have rapidly become very popular amongst political scientists. The central argument of these theories is that democratic legitimacy of lawmaking does not lie (or does not only lie) in the elected character of Parliaments but in public delib- eration processes. Decisions have to be justified by reasons and reasons have to be publicly debated. Legitimacy also depends on the opportunity for citizens to participate effectively in public debates. In this paper I argue that the European Court of Human Rights can be a key player in promoting a democracy based on public deliberation and that in the…

On the Origin of Metaphors
2015
In this article I study the genesis of metaphors from an evolutionary perspective. Analyzing 414 cartoons published after the death of the cartoonists of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, I propose a metaphoric founder effect with the metaphors “PENCIL IS A WEAPON,” “PENCIL IS A CARTOONIST,” and “PENCIL IS FREEDOM,” and a subsequent metaphor drift that creates many related metaphors. Additionally, the success of these metaphors turns the pencil meme into a very efficient and fast-spreading item representing not only the work of cartoonists, but also the fundamental values of Western culture, such as freedom of expression.
