Law and the exception : towards a new paradigm
No full textThis book proposes a paradigm shift in the way that ‘the state of exception’–as it is usually named in legal and political theory–is to be understood. Building on the assumption that the exception is a heuristic idea that is still a relevant category for a critical deconstruction of law, this book argues that it needs to be rethought outside the boundaries of its traditional understanding. To this end, the book offers two strategies. First, it develops the ideas of ‘exceptionality’ and ‘exceptionalisation’ in order to grasp how measures, norms and mechanisms that clearly have an exceptional character are no longer confined within the boundaries of classic institutions such as the state of exception, martial law, the state of emergency and so on. As demonstrated recently during the COVID-19 pandemic, legal systems may dissimulate the exceptional as the normal, avoiding the use of formal states of exception and adopting measures that are of exceptional nature. This book maintains that it is necessary to think of ‘exceptionality’ outside of its usual legal footholds. Emergency laws are considered here as part of a more general sphere of exceptionality that must be understood as the product of a process of the accumulation of symbols, practices, notions and images that are only partially expressed through law, despite having long populated the legal imagination. Second, the book offers an analysis of the inner exceptional life of liberal constitutionalism: the subterranean authoritarian drives dissimulated by the rule of law

Get PDFZjawisko efektu cieplarnianego znamy od połowy XIX wieku. Sto lat później zagrożeniami dla środowiska naturalnego zainteresowali się m.in. ekonomiści, tacy jak Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, Kenneth E. Boulding czy René Passet. Kolejne dekady pokazały, że presja systemów gospodarczych na środowisko staje się coraz większa, a pewnych procesów nie da się już odwrócić. Niniejszy artykuł ma charakter przeglądowy i wskazuje na najważniejsze wyzwania dla zrównoważenia środowiskowego, przedstawia teoretyczne ramy zrównoważenia w ekonomii oraz najnowsze badania w tym zakresie. Wyznaczając kierunki dalszych działań, zarówno w zakresie monitorowania stanu środowiska przy wykorzystaniu omówionych przeze mnie wskaźników zrównoważenia, jak i ograniczenia wpływu gospodarki na środowisko, opierając się na ramach ekonomii ekologicznej i politycznej, proponuję przejście do nowego reżimu społeczno-metabolicznego zrównoważonego dewzrostu, który pokrótce przedstawiam w ostatniej części artykułu.The phenomenon of the greenhouse effect has been known since the mid-19th century. One hundred years later, the environmental threats were addressed by economists such as, among others, Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, Kenneth E. Boulding and René Passet. Subsequent decades have shown that the pressures of economic systems on the environment are increasing and that certain processes can no longer be reversed. This article is an overview and identifies the most important challenges for environmental sustainability, presents the theoretical framework of sustainability in economics as well as the latest research in the field. Charting the way forward, both in terms of monitoring the state of the environment using the sustainability indicators I have discussed, and in terms of reducing the impact of the economy on the environment, based on the ecological and political economy frameworks, I propose a move towards a new socio-metabolic regime of sustainable degrowth, which I briefly outline in the last section of the article

Get PDFGłówny cel artykułu stanowi próba przybliżenia utrwalonych w tekstach kultury, czyli w nieoficjalnych nazwach własnych, elementów tożsamości tradycyjnej społeczności wiejskiej. Materiał językowy stanowią m.in. różne kategorie nazw własnych (np. nazwy części wsi i przysiółków, mikrotoponimy, określenia małych obiektów architektury sakralnej), które zgromadzono podczas badań terenowych prowadzonych w latach 2011-2024 na obszarze gminy Wręczyca Wielka, w województwie śląskim. Na podstawie analizy zgromadzonego materiału onimicznego stwierdzono m.in., że nieoficjalne nazwy własne stanowią przekazywane z pokolenia na pokolenie teksty kultury, które nie tylko archiwizują świat dawnych realiów wiejskich i charakterystyczny obraz gminy, lecz także oddziałują na wyobraźnię i emocje rdzennych mieszkańców.The main purpose of this article is the attempt of description of elements of traditional rural community identity which are written down in cultural texts i. e. in the informal proper names. The inquiring sight contains different categories of proper names (e. g. names of parts of the village and hamlets, microtoponyms, names of small objects of sacred architecture). These names were collected during the geographical exploration from 2011 to 2024 in Wręczyca Wielka community in Silesian Province. On the strength of analysis of the onimic material it could be claimed that informal proper names are cultural texts passed from generation to generation which not only archive the world of former rural reality and characteristic picture of Wręczyca Wielka community but also influence on imagination and emotions of natural inhabitants
