Dédicace à César : De laudibus sanctae crucis de Raban Maur
No full text« Ce petit livre que j’ai le plaisir de t’offrir maintenant, ô saint empereur, Ton image vient en son début ». Le premier poème du recueil représente l’empereur Louis le Pieux à qui Raban offre son appui dans un moment difficile où celui-ci est en lutte avec ses fils. La représentation de l’empereur en ouverture du livre le met presque sur le même plan que le Christ. Il porte ici l’uniforme d’un officier supérieur du Bas-Empire. Son auréole, sa manière de tenir la hampe de la croix et le bouclier rappellent les représentations d’empereur romain. Mais ici son manteau n’est pas pourpre mais bleu. Bleu jacinthe est pour Raban Maur la couleur de la robe des prêtres de l'Ancien Testament. Nouveau David et nouveau Constantin, l’empereur carolingien revêt donc le manteau sacerdotal de la tradition biblique : émouvante synthèse entre l’héritage romain de l’Antiquité tardive et l’héritage chrétien.téléchargeabl

No full text'The first ten years of the groundbreaking London arts organisation Acme are explored through rarely seen archival film and new interviews. Raban’s bold new film continues his ongoing examination of London’s stratified social geography by exploring a fertile, creative scene in which he played a significant part. Solely using archival visual materials, he revisits the first ten years of art organization Acme, highlighting its work in housing artists in the East End and the extraordinary work that was produced. The powerful archival footage incorporates Stephen Cripps’ pyrotechnic displays, an abrasive Anne Bean music performance and Stuart Brisley’s politically charged action ‘Ten Days’. Interviewees include: Cosey Fanni Tutti, Jock McFadyen and David Critchley. Raban reflects on the nature of ‘evidence’ while a very particular vision of creative activity emerges – one based on devoted experimentation, location specificity and process'

The Uprooting in the Narrative Language of Foreign Land by Jonathan Raban
No full textThe language and narrative style of Jonathan Raban, a contemporary English writer author of the novel Foreign Land (1985), seem to find in the themes of uprooting and self-searching a metaphorical and existential interpretation that in the search for identity alternates the desire to return to the origins, recovering lost affections and beloved places, with the attraction to the unknown. In this oscillation, masterfully rendered by the metaphorical and figurative language of the novel, Raban tells the awareness that the return to the origins is not always a point of arrival but a further turning point in life. The article focuses on some particularly effective linguistic and semantic aspects through which the author renews and personalizes the travel novel, making it an existential, intimate tale in which the sense of estrangement and the desire to take root are intertwined with a compelling story rich in landscape descriptions and philosophical reflections
Das römische Vorzeichenwesen (753-27 v.Chr.). Quellen, Terminologie, Kommentar, historische Entwicklung
No full textGötterzeichen aller Art spielten im politischen wie im privaten Leben des römischen Volkes eine kaum zu überschätzende Rolle. Dieser Band, der die gekürzte Version einer 2005 am Lehrstuhl für Alte Geschichte der RWTH Aachen eingereichten und 2006 erfolgreich verteidigten Dissertation darstellt (Prüfer: Prof. Raban von Haehling, Prof. Karl Leo Noethlichs, Prof. Wolfgang Orth), erschließt auf der Basis aller verfügbaren Quellen erstmals die Gesamtheit römischer öffentlicher, militärischer und privater Vorzeichen. In übersichtlicher chronologischer Gliederung bietet er nach einer Analyse der historiographischen Funktion der Götterzeichen im Werk republikanischer Autoren und einer Untersuchung der lateinischen Vorzeichenterminologie eine Sammlung und Kommentierung aller römischen Vorzeichen von der Zeit des Aeneas bis zu Augustus – unter Einbeziehung des neuesten Forschungsstandes und unter Beachtung des historischen und religionsgeschichtlichen Kontextes sowie der Überlieferungslage. Eine zusammenfassende Darstellung der historisch-politischen Entwicklung des römischen Vorzeichenwesens sowie eine historisch-psychoanalytische Interpretation der Funktion, die die Divination in der römischen Gesellschaft erfüllte, runden das Buch ab, dessen Register eine schnelle Zuordnung der Quellen zu chronologisch datierbaren Vorzeichen erlaubt.info:eu-repo/semantics/published
England under Edward I and Edward II 1259 - 1327
No full text"This book covers the reigns of Edward I and Edward II, a time of turbulence among the leaders of society, important developments in the law and constitution alongside extreme suffering among the peasantry. The author examines the key events and institutions of the period, explaining how we know about them and reviewing important debates among historians. Building outwards from the land and its inhabitants, to government, politics, and the formative role of the church, Sandra Raban makes comparisons with the wider world, as well as exploring broader aspects of culture." "Highlighting the extraordinary contrasts which were a feature of Britain during this period, the book makes use of a wealth of artistic material to capture the atmosphere of late-thirteenth- and early-fourteenth-century England in all its colour and diversity."--BOOK JACKET

The fallacy of legal certainty: why vague legal standards may be better for capitalism and liberalism
No full textThis article reviews key aspects of the theoretical debate on
the distinction between bright-line rules framed in clear and determinate
language and vague legal standards. It is generally believed
that legal rules provide more certainty and predictability, while
legal standards afford flexibility, accommodate equitable solutions,
and allow for a more informed development of the law. Furthermore,
the article seeks to refute the idea that bright-line rules
are superior to vague standards in regard to certainty and predictability.
In first section, the author articulates the claims that
legal certainty and predictability are essential for both capitalism
and liberalism, and that these systems of economic and political
organization therefore require legal rules framed in clear and
determinate language. Second section undertakes a critical evaluation
of that claim and argues that, oftentimes, the best-drafted
clear and determinate rules would result in less certainty than
alternative vague and indeterminate standards. Third section provides
explanations why things are so, arguing that the law is but
one of many normative systems; that competing economic, social,
and moral standards are often couched in vague and indeterminate
terms; and that many of these standards cannot be reduced
to clear and determinate rules. As conclusion author pointed out on the extensive use of vague legal standards that with no doubt
harbors dangers. Vague standards can easily mask arbitrariness,
inconsistency, and injustice, and can also generate uncertainty.
their proper use requires good faith, professionalism, and intelligence,
and therefore depends on a high caliber legal profession.22224714Filozofia Publiczna i Edukacja Demokratyczn
