Authorship in the Interstices of History, Biography, Reality and Memory: Histoire(s) du cinéma and Cabra Marcado para Morrer
No full textEste artigo contrasta Histoire(s) du cinéma de Jean-Luc Godard e Cabra Marcado Para Morrer de Eduardo Coutinho, estão engajadas com a questão da autoria no cinema. Enquanto a imagem de Godard enfatiza a capacidade que tem um filme de transmitir a visão de mundo pessoal de um artista, a presença de Coutinho na tela funciona menos como um meio de subjetivar a obra do que como um catalizador instigando cetas reações nos "atores" filmados
The Law of Superheroes : J. Daily, R. Davidson
No full textLa bande dessinée est décidément une grande source d'inspiration pour les juristes. Ce site en témoigne et deux ouvrages issus de colloques ont été consacrés à la question : l'un en 1998, l'autre en 2012. Une exposition a été consacrée à la justice lors du dernier festival d'Angoulême. Il était donc indispensable de consacrer un billet à l'excellent ouvrage de James Daily et Ryan Davidson, publié en 2012 : The Law of Superheroes. Ce livre est issu d'un blog tenu par les auteurs (Law and the M..
La protección internacional de adultos. el encaje de los actuales instrumentos de derecho internacional privado y las perspectivas de avances en la UE
No full text[spa] El presente working paper tiene su origen en la ponencia presentada por la
autora en el marco del “Col·loqui amb joves investigadors: l’actualitat del Dret privat
europeu” en mayo de 2016, organizado por la Dra. Esther Arroyo, titular de la Càtedra
Jean Monnet de Dret Privat Europeu UB. Se centra en ciertas cuestiones del análisis
desde el Derecho internacional privado de la protección de adultos que la autora
pretende desarrollar en un futura contribución a elaborar en este ámbito: se trata de
la actual falta de un Reglamento específico de la UE que aborde la materia, las
perspectivas de acoger novedades legislativas al respecto y en particular la interacción
entre ciertos instrumentos internacionales que cubren algunos aspectos en este
marco, lo cual conduce a la necesidad de evitar incoherencias y propiciar la
compatibilidad entre los mismos. En tal sentido, se detallan de forma limitada aquí
algunos problemas observados en la actualidad junto a posibles avances de futuro
partiendo de la información contenida en el artículo más extenso ya publicado

protection-of-adults-from-the-perspective-of-private-international-law[eng] The present working paper has its origins in the paper presented by the
author in May 2016 in the framework of the "Col·loqui amb joves investigadors:
l'actualitat del Dret privat europea", organized by Dr Esther Arroyo, head of the Jean
Monnet Chair of European Private Law UB. It focuses on certain issues in the analysis of
the protection of adults from the perspective of Private International Law that the
author intends to develop in a future contribution to be drawn up in this area. These
refer to the current lack of a specific EU Regulation addressing this subject, the
prospects of embracing new legislative developments and, in particular, the interaction
between international instruments which cover certain aspects in this context, all this
leading to the need to avoid inconsistencies and to promote compatibility between
them. In this sense, a limited explanation is given here of some currently observed
problems, together with possible progress, on the basis of the information contained in
the more extensive article recently published as ÁLVAREZ TORNÉ, M., "Current issues in

Does corruption relieve foreign investors of the burden of taxes and capital controls?
No full textIn a sample of fourteen source countries making bilateral investments in forty five countries, the author finds that taxes, capital controls, and corruption, all have large, statistically significant negative effects on foreign investment. Moreover, there is no robust support in the data for the"efficient grease"hypothesis - that corruption helps attract foreign investment by reducing firms'tax burden and the irritant of capital controls.International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Capital Markets and Capital Flows,Decentralization,Fiscal&Monetary Policy,Economic Theory&Research,Economic Theory&Research,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Governance Indicators,National Governance,Capital Flows
Jean Miélot, bilan et perspectives
No full textThis article deals with Jean Miélot, famous author, translator, copyist, who was charged with “making books” for the Dukes of Burgundy between 1448 and 1470; it aims to update the bibliography of his activity (bilan, since 2010) and to suggest new “perspectives” for future research, particularly for critical editions of many of his works, still unpublished.Cet article se propose comme une mise à jour bibliographique sur Jean Miélot, célèbre auteur, traducteur, copiste, actif entre 1448 et 1470 auprès des ducs de Bourgogne. Ce «bilan» permet en même temps d’ouvrir de nouvelles «perspectives» de recherches, notamment dans le domaine des éditions critiques de nombre de ses œuvres, toujours inédites
Inequality, fiscal capacity and the political regime: lessons from the post-communist transition
No full textUsing panel data for twenty-seven post-communist economies between 1987-2003, we examine
the nexus of relationships between inequality, fiscal capacity (defined as the ability to raise
taxes efficiently) and the political regime. Investigating the impact of political reform we find
that full political freedom is associated with lower levels of income inequality. Under more
oligarchic (authoritarian) regimes, the level of inequality is conditioned by the state’s fiscal
capacity. Specifically, oligarchic regimes with more developed fiscal systems are able to defend
the prevailing vested interests at a lower cost in terms of social injustice. This empirical finding
is consistent with the model developed by Acemoglu (2006). We also find that transition
countries undertaking early macroeconomic stabilisation now enjoy lower levels of inequality;
we confirm that education fosters equality and the suggestion of Commander et al (1999) that
larger countries are prone to higher levels of inequality
Sexual/textual marginalities of Caribbean inspiration and origin a thesis on two texts by two women writers of Caribbean origin upon the theme of marginality
No full textThis thesis is an exploration of the theme of Marginality in Writing by women of Caribbean origin. My work condensed itself into a specific analysis of two texts. Taken together, these texts focus the insights I researched into a significant whole. Each text was written by a woman of Caribbean origin, and their backgrounds are a symbolic polarity from each other. Jean Rhys was a white Creole born in Dominica in 1894 and who spent her adult life in England; Jamaica Kincaid is black, native to Antigua and now a journalist in New York. The protagonists of each text - Annie John by Jamaica Kincaid, and Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys - are both young girls influenced by the image of their mothers. Significantly, they share almost the same name (Annie/Antoinette) which is also that of their mothers. Thus they become a symbolic fusion of a heroine of Caribbean origin. In the course of extensive and eclectic reading, I discovered the theme of Marginality to be entwined with the concept of Intertextuality. In separate chapters, I have discussed marginality with reference to narrative structure and narrative time, image and metaphor, culture (which involves colonialism in the Caribbean), race relations and gender (specifically feminist), and ultimately according to Susan Sontag's observation of the marginal literary subject: an unimportant 'work' ... could be a marvellous 'text’. Considering something as a 'text' means...precisely to suspend conventional evaluations. ... notions of 'text’ and 'textuality' charges the critic with the task of discarding worn-out meanings for fresh ones. I hope that in the course of my thesis, I have succeeded in the enlightenment of fresh meanings in Writing by women of Caribbean origin. I conclude that an understanding of the significance of these texts lies in the fact that their marginal quality is part of a total intertextuality
