The Strange Case of the Protective Perimeter: Liberties and Claims to Non-Interference
2011
In this paper I aim at pointing out some difficulties raised by the so-called thesis of the protective perimeter of liberties (ToPP), that is: the thesis according to which: neither a privilege necessarily involves a claim to non-interference, nor a claim to non-interference necessarily presupposes a privilege. As to the first aspect of the thesis, I argue that it relies on a misleading concept of ‘interference with a liberty’, which surfaces in the examples to which the thesis is made applicable. As to the second aspect of the thesis, I argue that the idea of someone having a claim to be unimpeded in wronging another person is a misleading description of the situation taken into considerat…

Submitted version of an article published in the journal: Studia Theologica - Nordic Journal of Theology, Taylor & Francis Published version available at Informaworld: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00393380903334598 Is it possible to solve conflicts without using violence, or is the use of violent retribution necessary to solve problems and restore peace after serious crimes and offences? This is a classical question in the philosophy of law and in all the disciplines dealing with conflict resolution. It is also an important question in theology. The material for this article comes from interviews with sons who have grown up with violent fathers, and from philosophical and theological texts dea…
Desobediencia: ¿Derecho o estrategia? A propósito de la reivindicación de la “política de desobediencia civil” en Catalunya
2018
RESUMEN: Aunque la tradicion de la desobediencia civil y, mas lejos aun, la del derecho a resistencia tiene antecedentes muy claros, hoy se ha producido un giro. El incremento del fenomeno de la indignacion y revuelta contra el sistema ha propiciado lo que algunos consideran estrategia de desobediencia e incluso politica de desobediencia. Em este articulo se discute esa hipotesis desde la experiencia que procura la experiencia vivida en los dos ultimos anos en Cataluna. ABSTRACT: We are possibly facing a turning point in the tradition of the right of resistance and even civil disobedience. From the globalization of the phenomenon of the indignados, the recourse to the strategy of disobedie…

The Philosophy of Law in Ulpian’s Life and TeachingSummaryThe purpose of this article, is to show, taking into account Ulpian’s life and teaching, that the Roman jurisprudence was interwoven with some elements of philosophy. The first part of the article illustrates the influence of Ulpian’s life history on his philosophical and legislative views, whereas the second part presents the latter.His knowledge of law, the posts which he occupied, and numerous works prove that Ulpian was preoccupied with studying „law through its first causes”. He asked about the essence of the law, about what the natural law is, and what justice is. He described the juridical reality using the language of law and…
African Law in Action
2014
AbstractThis article discusses the issue of the effectiveness of law in Africa, looking at it from a perspective different from those commonly used in dealing with this theme. It proposes an analysis of the interactions between traditional, religious and official law in the course of the historical development of African law through the lens of the stratigraphic method. The analysis takes into consideration the different legal layers that have been posed upon each other. The work focuses on areas of law that are not commonly considered in this regard; in addition, the discourse is conducted using examples taken from jurisdictions that are not normally present in debates on African law. This…

A Farewell to Homo Sacer? Sovereign Power and Bare Life in Agamben’s Coronavirus Commentary
2021
AbstractThe article addresses Giorgio Agamben’s critical commentary on the global governance of the Covid-19 pandemic as a paradigm of his political thought. While Agamben’s comments have been criticized as exaggerated and conspiratorial, they arise from the conceptual constellation that he has developed starting from the first volume of his Homo Sacer series. At the centre of this constellation is the relation between the concepts of sovereign power and bare life, whose articulation in the figure of homo sacer Agamben traces from the Antiquity to the present. We shall demonstrate that any such articulation is impossible due to the belonging of these concepts to different planes, respective…
Inmigración, diversidad cultural, reconocimiento político
2009
El artículo sostiene la tesis de que, aunque la culturalización del debate migratorio tiene aspectos positivos, la prioridad se halla en la política, puesto que, si no hay participación política de los inmigrantes en la sociedad de acogida, no hay sentimiento de pertenencia, ni conciencia de identidad, y difícilmente cabe hablar de integración social de los inmigrantes.
