This book addresses fundamental aspects of the concept of public international law in both theory and practice. The argument developed by the author is that, underlying the traditional, horizontal, structure of public international law, a vertical structure of the concept of law may be discerned. This vertical structure is seen unfolding into two, mutually exclusive, frameworks: a framework of obligation, accounting for obligations, and a framework of authorization, accounting for rights. The problem then arising is that a concept of public international law which only admits either rights or obligations cannot be regarded as coherent. The author, however, takes and substantiates the position that coherence can be achieved by suppressing the mutual exclusivity of both frameworks. This move paves the way to formulating the function of public international law in terms of the constituting of international society.Since in public international law the theoretical aspects profoundly affect practice, this book is not only of interest to academics, but also for practitioners, such as officials of foreign offices and international institutions.

"If you want to know something about man, don't study the human, don't study psychology, study psychologization ... Jan De Vos starts where other critiques on psychology end, putting forward a breathtaking simple but most revealing argument: psychology is psychologization. This fresh and pioneering approach asks what it means to become the psychologist of one's own life. If something is not working in our education, in our marriage, in our work and in society in general we turn to the psy-sciences. But is the latter's paradigm precisely not relying on feeding psychological theories into the field of research and action?Jan De Vos traces psychologization back to the Enlightenment and then proceeds to late-modernity. Engaging with seminal thinkers such as La Mettrie, Husserl, Lasch and Agamben, he meanwhile teases out the possibilities and the limits of using psychoanalytic theory as a critical tool. Whatever level of expertise they possess, readers working in or simply interested in psychology, social psychology or cultural studies will find something of value here. If you have once felt some uneasiness or discontent in current psychologized culture, this book offers challenging and thought-provoking insights"--

Covid-19 appeared with its quarantine and forced isolation, and psi experts were quick to make their analysis and recommendations. This essay primarily claims that, for the pandemic to offer an opportunity to do things differently, it is necessary to think through a rigorous psychoanalytic critique not only of the psychologization, but also of the digitalization (the translation of the subjective and the intersubjective into the digital sphere) of the covid-19 crisis. The triad of concepts obedience, indignation and uprising give us the opportunity to start this task. Therefore, we will examine the paradoxical relationship between obedience and criticism; then we will make a call for the indignation of imposed dignity; and, finally, we will proclaim that the uprising will not be digitized. Is at this point, of course, that psychoanalytic critique must open up to a political project. ; Vino el virus covid-19, la cuarentena y el aislamiento forzado, y no tardó mucho en que los expertos psi llegaran con sus análisis y sus recomendaciones. Este ensayo principalmente reclama que, para que la pandemia ofrezca una oportunidad de hacer las cosas de otra manera, es necesario pensar una crítica psicoanalítica rigurosa no solo de la psicologización, sino también de la digitalización (la traslación de lo subjetivo y lo intersubjetivo a la esfera digital) de la crisis del covid-19. La tríada de conceptos obediencia, indignación y sublevación propuesta en la convocatoria para este número 21 de la revista nos ofrece una oportunidad de iniciar esta tarea. Por eso, examinaremos la relación paradojal entre obediencia y crítica; luego haremos una llamada a la indignación de la dignidad impuesta; y, finalmente, proclamaremos que la sublevación no será digitalizada. Es aquí, por supuesto, que la crítica psicoanalítica debe abrirse a un proyecto político. ; La covid-19 est arrivé, de même que la quarantaine et l'isolement obligatoire. Les experts psy y sont arrivés sans s'attarder avec leurs analyses et leurs recommandations. Si l'on veut que la pandémie devienne une véritable opportunité pour faire les choses autrement, il faut entreprendre une critique psychanalytique rigoureuse, pas seulement de la psychologisation mais aussi de la numérisation (le déplacement du subjectif et de l'intersubjectif dans la sphère numérique) de la crise du covid-19. À l'occasion de l'appel à contributions de ce numéro, le rapport paradoxal entre l'obéissance et la critique est analysé; ensuite, on convoque à l'indignation face à l'idée de dignité qui s'impose, et finalement, on proclame que le soulèvement ne sera jamais numérisé. C'est là, bien sûr, que la critique psychanalytique doit s'ouvrir à un projet politique. ; Veio o vírus covid-19, quarentena e isolamento forçado, e não demorou muito para que os especialistas psi chegassem com suas análises e recomendações. Este ensaio afirma principalmente que, para a pandemia oferecer uma oportunidade de fazer diferente, é preciso pensar em uma crítica psicanalítica rigorosa não só da psicologização, mas também da digitalização (a tradução do subjetivo e do intersubjetivo para a esfera digital ) da crise da covid-19. A tríade de conceitos obediência, indignação e revolta proposta na chamada para este número 21 da revista nos oferece a oportunidade de iniciar essa tarefa. Portanto, examinaremos a relação paradoxal entre obediência e crítica; então faremos um apelo à indignação da dignidade imposta; e, finalmente, proclamaremos que o levante não será digitalizado. É aqui, claro, que a crítica psicanalítica deve se abrir a um projeto político.

In this paper I question whether the plea for depathologisation and the regaining of our ex-propriated subjectivity from its psy and neuro-colonization is, in fact, not itself enmeshed with the notion of some real core of the human being, and thus amenable to some or an-other Academic discipline and praxis. Critics of mainstream (neuro)psychology could unwit-tingly, then, join the strong but unacknowledged undercurrent in today's neuropsy-discourses to restore the subject as a fully fleshed-out agent; one who is situated beyond pathology, beyond abnormal and normal. I juxtapose this observation with critical readings of an artistic project looking to revalue subjectivity in the aftermath of a mining disaster, and the popular Theory of Mind-approach. In conclusion, I argue that an understanding of the subject as caught between subjectivation and de-subjectivation (where subjectivity be-comes a social and a political issue) could allow us to rethink the terms of normality and pa-thology. ; En este artículo pregunto si el alegato de despatologización y la recuperación de nuestra subjetividad -expropiada por su colonización de las ciencias psi y neuro- está, de hecho, enredado con la noción de algún núcleo real del ser humano, y de esta manera, sensible a alguna otra disciplina o práctica. Las críticas de la (neuro)psicología mainstream pueden, involuntariamente, unirse a los discursos actuales de la neuropsi -no reconocidos y a con-tracorriente- para recuperar el sujeto como un agente completo; un sujeto situado más allá de la patología, más allá de lo normal y anormal. Yuxtapongo esta posición con lectu-ras críticas de un proyecto artístico que busca reevaluar la subjetividad a raíz de un desas-tre minero, y el popular enfoque de la teoría de la mente. En conclusión, sostengo que un entendimiento del sujeto atrapado entre la subjetivación y la desubjetivación (donde la subjetividad se entiende como un asunto político y social) nos permite repensar los térmi-nos de normalidad y patología.
