Sor Juana and the Countess of Villaumbrosa
Get PDFAlong with Christina of Sweden and the Duchess of Aveiro, the Countess of Villaumbrosa María Petronila Niño de Porres Enríquez de Guzmán is one of three contemporary thinkers from Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz’s catalogue of learned women in the Respuesta a Sor Filotea. Despite the other two’s political and intellectual prominence, prior research overlooks the Countess. In response, my study presents the first intellectual biography of María Petronila. It deepens understanding of Sor Juana’s transatlantic networks and also draws attention to a scholar that lends insight into women’s participation in lettered circles throughout the early modern world.Junto con Cristina de Suecia y la duquesa de Aveiro, la condesa de Villaumbrosa María Petronila Niño de Porres Enríquez de Guzmán es una de tres intelectuales coetáneas del catálogo de mujeres doctas en la Respuesta a Sor Filotea de Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. A pesar de la prominencia política e intelectual de las otras dos, investigaciones anteriores ignoran a la condesa. Mi ensayo responde con la primera biografía intelectual de María Petronila. Profundiza en las redes transatlánticas de Sor Juana y también destaca a una erudita que permite indagar la presencia femenina en los círculos letrados de la temprana modernidad

Get PDFCanada’s Customary Obligation to Prevent Transboundary Harm and The Reduction of Emissions
Get PDFAbstract: This paper argues that the duty of prevention reaches a customary international law. Customary international law is a norm accepted broadly by states, and the parameters of this norm are explored in this paper. The central question is whether the customary duty of prevention obliges Canada to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Under the duty, states are required to make a due diligent effort to reduce activities causing harm in other states. This effort does not necessitate an actual cessation of a particular activity. Accordingly, this paper argues that the duty of prevention can be applied in the context of reducing greenhouse gas emissions; hence, Canada is compelled to take the necessary steps to prevent the harms from such emissions, namely climate change. Carbon pricing - which Canada has adopted through the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act - is one way to abide by the duty of prevention
