"In this work, one of Latin America's most renowned legal philosophers conducts a comprehensive survey of the ancient Greek understanding of the law, drawing on texts by poets (Hesiod), philosophers (Anaximander), playwrights (Aeschylus and Sophocles), and historians (Herodotus and Thucydides). The book ends with a finely detailed analysis of the relationship between language and reality in Aristotle, and the emergence of the notion of the system and its subsequent introduction into Roman law. The author's in-depth study of all these aspects makes this volume an essential reference for philosophers, jurists, and historians"--

Modernism;Ethics;Semiotics - Inter-lektualitet. Læsningens semiotik og etik kombinerer Mikhail Bakhtins dialogismeteorier med Roland Barthes' dynamiske læsnings-teorier. Disse samler sig om formbegreber og et syn på det litterære fænomen, der dels medgiver litteraturen dens medfødte flertydighed, dels er i stand til at opfange tekstens særlige æstetiske udtryk og måde at kommunikere på gennem hver enkelt læsnings naturlige forsøg på at forbinde det læste med læserens eget liv og hverdag. Inter-lektuel semiotik er en tegnfølsom tekstualitetsoptik, der hviler på den opfattelse, at der ved læsningen af en litterær tekst etableres et kom-plekst rum af dialogiske forbindelser mellem en læserinstans og skribent-instans, som gør dem i stand til at kommunikere med hinanden. Til den dobbelthed, der altid må være forbundet med det at skrive litteratur, nemlig det at spørge under dække af at påstå, svarer den dobbelthed, der er forbundet med det at læse eller analysere litteratur, nemlig det at svare under dække af at spørge. Det er som et sådant gensvar eller an-svar, at Inter-lektualitet. Læsningens semiotik og etik forstår karakteren af den kreative, dialogiske og etiske læsning af litteratur.
Bogen indeholder en række læsningsbaserede analyser af litterære tekster af forfatterne Virginia Woolf og Samuel Beckett samt analyser af andre tegntætte, kulturelle performativiteter fra vores kropslige hverdag.
Hermed skitseres en egentlig krops-semiotik og en narrativ terapi på baggrund af det overordnede inter-lektualitetsbegreb.

Examining identity in relation to globalization and migration, this book uses narratives and memoirs from contemporary authors who have lived 'in-between' two or more languages. It explores the human desire to find one's 'own place' in new cultural contexts, and looks at the role of language in shaping a sense of belonging in society.

Δεν παρατίθεται περίληψη στα ελληνικά. ; Understanding monetary phenomena does not only require a pure economical research but an examination of money through it's various social, ideological and political aspects. Literature may provide a framework for a fruitful investigation of these aspects of past and present life. This article tries to find monetary traces in the 19th and early 20th century Greek literature. The circulation of foreign and domestic metallic currencies, as it emerge from the texts of various writers of the time (Palaiologos, Calligas, Vikelas, Carcavitsas, Theotokis, Papadiamantis, Mirivilis, etc.), the role of Turkish currencies, the social evaluation of the drachma, the apparition of token currencies and the penetration of paper money in daily transactions, are few of the issues that this investigation involves.

This brief synthesises the IECEU project's most essential findings on the effectiveness of European Union (EU) missions in four Africa countries: Libya, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the Central African Republic (CAR). It describes the main elements and impact of the EU missions in these countries, identifies key strategic and operational shortfalls and offers recommendations on how the EU can improve its effectiveness in future conflict prevention and crisis management missions. The EU missions investigated differ in scale, length, objective, budget, priority and context. However, the EU missions presented in this brief share the main characteristic that they have all been deployed under the union's Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP)2 with the explicit intent of improving the overall security situation and addressing conflicts in Africa. This brief will start by providing a short overview of each case, describing the conflict(s), security situation, mission objectives and obstacles. In this way, it compares the overall effectiveness of EU operational conflict prevention across the four African countries and discusses what lessons can be learned from them. The brief does not include all factors needed to answer thisquestion, but highlights the IECEU project's most significant findings in these cases.

The Nordic countries have long been renowned for their contribution to international peace and security. This contribution – occasionally viewed by both Nordic and non-Nordic policy-makers and academics as a particular model for facilitating peace and development in international affairs – is based on a combination of active contributions to peaceful conflict resolution, a high level of development aid and a continuous commitment to strengthening international society. However, recently Scandinavians have been making headlines for reasons that seem to contrast with their well-established brand as humane internationalist peacemakers. This article identifies the characteristics of the Nordic model for international peace and security and discusses how and why it has changed.

Self-help and self-censorship: A self-help cultural perspective on organizational silence This paper seeks to explain silence in the workplace through an analytical perspective derived from Judith Butlers work on censorship, and in this way suggest an alternative to explanations in the existing literature on employee silence, which are often tied to the actions and motivations of the individual subject. It is thus argued that self-help books can be seen as indicative of a pervasive culture of self-improvement, which among other things promotes the absence of criticism in the workplace. The empirical point of departure for this argument is the two bestselling self-help books The secret by Rhonda Byrne and The 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen Covey. Theoretically, the paper applies Butlers notion of "implicit censorship" where censorship is understood as productive in the sense of being constitutive of language. Hence, in the analysis it is shown how discursive regimes in self-help literature tend to be constructed in such a way, that explicit criticism cannot emerge as a meaningful activity, and is thus implicitly censored. ; Sociologisk Forsknings digitala arkiv
