Religious Offence and Human Rights: The Implications of Defamation of Religions Langer Lorenz

Should international law be concerned with offence to religions and their followers? Even before the 2005 publication of the Danish Mohammed cartoons, Muslim States have endeavoured to establish some reputational protection for religions on the international level by pushing for recognition of the novel concept of 'defamation of religions'. This study recounts these efforts as well as the opposition they aroused, particularly by proponents of free speech. It also addresses the more fundamental issue of how religion and international law may relate to each other. Historically, enforcing divine commands has been the primary task of legal systems, and it still is in numerous municipal jurisdictions. By analysing religious restrictions of blasphemy and sacrilege as well as international and national norms on free speech and freedom of religion, Lorenz Langer argues that, on the

Novecento. Un monologo

Il Virginian era un piroscafo. Negli anni tra le due guerre faceva la spola tra Europa e America, con il suo carico di miliardari, di emigranti e di gente qualsiasi. Dicono che sul Virginian si esibisse ogni sera un pianista straordinario, dalla tecnica strabiliante, capace di suonare una musica mai sentita prima, meravigliosa. Dicono che la sua storia fosse pazzesca, che fosse nato su quella nave e che da lì non fosse mai sceso. Dicono che nessuno sapesse il perché. Questo racconto, nato come monologo teatrale, è uscito per la prima volta nel 1994. Nel 1998 Giuseppe Tornatore ne ha tratto il film "La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano".

Historia de las Españas

DE LA PRESENTACION Juan Romero y Antoni Furió En el prólogo de suscelebrados Ensayos, que darían nombre a un nuevo género literario quepronto gozaría de una gran aceptación en los medios intelectualeseuropeos como una forma de expresión del pensamiento intermedia, o acaballo, entre la erudición y la opinión (derivada en algunos casosextremos hacia la pura ficción, la fabulación interesada), Michel deMontaigne advertía a sus lectores que él mismo era la materia de sulibro. Lo que no era sino una manera de decir que el objeto último desus reflexiones era la condición humana en toda su complejidad ymudanza. La materia de este libro, mucho más modesta, aunque quizá notodos coincidan en la apreciación, es España, o, mejor, las Españas,si de la geografía y los proyectos políticos -pasados y por venir-pasamos al terreno de la historia. Porque éste es también, o sobretodo, un libro de historia. No un libro de investigación, aunque loque en él se dice se apoya en los trabajos más recientes y en lo mássólido del estado actual de la disciplina, ni una obra de síntesis nimucho menos un manual o un libro de texto (aunque aspire a influir enunos y otros), sino un ensayo, una invitación a pensar -críticamente,históricamente, como nos enseñaron hace tiempo Jaume Vicens Vives yPierre Vilar- la historia de España, la historia de las Españas.
