The Broken Tablets of Moses and the Exodus from (Post-) Modernity: On Rethinking the Role and the Rule of Law in a Dialogical Way
No full textStemming from an interdisciplinary debate among scholars commonly involved in the rethinking of theoretical paradigms of criminal justice, the essay offers a few legal-philosophical considerations about the concept of law that underlies the innovative proposals of Restorative Justice, whose revolutionary elements have difficulties in finding a good match with the traditional legal-theoretical categories. The notion of 'rule of law' is at stake, mostly in its modern and postmodern character. Thereby the essay proposes to rethink the idea of law itself, in favour of a 'dialogical' approach, influenced also by G.B. Vico's critical proposal. The essay ends with a 'law and literature' insight about the biblical image of Moses' tablets
Morphological effects on Pali gemination: A preliminary study
Get PDFAround the turn of the 20th century (Childers, 1879; Müller, 1884; Whitney, 1889; Gray, 1899; Duroiselle, 1906), neogrammarians began studying the Pali language and its grammar. One area of particular interest was the phonological process of assimilation. Pali evidences both progressive and regressive assimilation and it is generally the case that a consonant geminate is formed (Krishnaswamy, et al., 2019). Recent studies (Junghare, 1979; Suzuki, 2002a,b; Gupta, 2003; Schmeiser, 2008; Dutta, 2017) have attempted to explain base-medial consonant gemination in phonological terms.
Though these accounts have furthered our understanding of Pali base-medial consonant gemination, very few studies have considered morphological effects on Pali gemination. The current study, though exploratory in nature, suggests that a problem arises in phonological analyses of Pali geminates in that Pali words evidence different cluster realizations based on morphological factors. In short, the study analyzes the effects of affixes on Pali gemination and suggests that an explanation based solely on syllable structure or sonority is insufficient and calls for further research.En el cambio del siglo XX (Childers, 1879; Müller, 1884; Whitney, 1889; Gray, 1899; Duroiselle, 1906), los neogramáticos empezaron a estudiar el idioma pali, incluyendo su gramática. Un área de mucho interés durante esa época fue el proceso fonológico de la asimilación. El pali tiene asimilación progresiva, así como regresiva, y por lo general se forma una geminada consonántica (Krishnaswamy, et al., 2019). Algunos estudios más recientes (Junghare, 1979; Suzuki, 2002a,b; Gupta, 2003; Schmeiser, 2008; Dutta, 2017) han tratado de explicar la geminación consonántica en bases léxicas en términos sólo fonológicos. Junghare (1979) se concentra en la escala de sonoridad de Jespersen (1909), haciendo notar que cuando la primera consonante tiene un valor igual o más alto que la segunda consonante, ocurre la asimilación regresiva. Suzuki (2002a,b) prefiere ver el fenómeno en términos de fuerza consonántica, lo cual depende del grado de constricción oral. En estos estudios, el grupo consonántico nasal + consonante se ve como excepción; Schmeiser (2008) ofrece una explicación articulatoria que tiene en cuenta esta excepción.
Aunque estos estudios nos han ayudado a entender mejor cómo funciona la geminación consonántica en bases léxicas en Pali, muy pocos estudios han considerado los efectos morfológicos de la geminación en Pali. El estudio actual, aunque sea exploratorio, sugiere que existe un problema cuando hay un análisis fonológico de las geminadas; el problema es que las geminadas producen diferentes resultados basados en factores morfológicos. En resumen, el estudio analiza los efectos de afijos en la geminación en pali y sugiere que la explicación basada únicamente en la estructura silábica o sonoridad no es suficiente y declara que hay que investigar en más detalle este fenómeno
Contextualising the dilemmas of institutionalising restorative justice
Get PDFIn recent decades, the institutionalisation of restorative justice globally has outpaced critical reflection. This introductory chapter invites us to consider what is gained and lost during the institutionalisation of restorative justice and contextualises the main dilemmas involved in such processes. The first part introduces the rationale and aims of the book. The second part provides an overview of earlier analyses of institutionalised restorative justice, examining the challenges that remain to be addressed in this domain at the current time. The third part introduces the rich and diverse contributions which critically explore the topic of institutionalisation and provide context-sensitive analyses of major, recent and ongoing developments around the world. The chapter acts as an invitation to scholars, practitioners and policymakers to engage critically with the nature and significance of the institutionalisation of restorative justice globally
Crossroads and dilemmas
Get PDFThis chapter casts a retrospective glance over the book which, at its core, aimed to explore whether restorative justice can be institutionalised without becoming severely compromised and stretched beyond recognition, and, if so, under what conditions can a principled and radical restorative justice thrive. The chapter provides critical appraisal on the distinguishing features of the book, especially on the insights the contributors offered in relation to the crossroads and dilemmas of mainstreaming, growth, upscaling and institutionalising restorative justice. The chapter concludes the book by arguing that we must go beyond the usual dichotomous and rather sterile ways of thinking about the topic of institutionalisation, and highlights the multiple nuanced positions expressed by the authors which engage, grapple with and critically and creatively propose ways of dealing with the tensions and dilemmas. It highlights the fundamental demand emerging from the book – for the restorative justice movement to keep alimenting its quest for justice

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Innovative and Transformative Effects of Restorative Justice: Reflections on the Recent Reform adopted in Italy
No full textL'interesse per la giustizia riparativa è cresciuto di recente nel sistema legale italiano, come dimostrato dalla Legge Delega approvata dal Parlamento nell'ottobre 2021, preceduta dal lavoro di una Commissione di Studio composta da esperti del settore, professori, magistrati e avvocati. La Legge Delega contiene indicazioni per una profonda riforma del sistema sanzionatorio e processuale penale e sollecita il legislatore ad adottare una disciplina organica della giustizia riparativa che specifica definizioni, metodi, diritti e garanzie per le parti, l'istituzione di servizi di giustizia riparativa e la formazione iniziale e continua per i mediatori/facilitatori, alla luce della legislazione sovranazionale. Concentrandosi sul sistema legale italiano e sulla Legge 150/2022 - che è la conseguenza della suddetta Legge Delega - questo capitolo analizza gli effetti trasformativi della giustizia riparativa a diversi livelli: linguistico, normativo e istituzionale. Fornisce inoltre una prospettiva generale sull'istituzionalizzazione della giustizia riparativa in Italia.Interest in restorative justice has grown recently in the Italian legal system, as evidenced by the Delegation Law passed by the Parliament in October 2021, which was preceded by the work of a Study Commission made up of experts in the field, professors, the judiciary and lawyers. The Delegation Law contains a comprehensive reform of the sanctioning and procedural system and urges legislators to adopt a framework regulation of restorative justice that specifies definitions, methods, rights and guarantees for the parties, the establishment of restorative justice services and initial and continuing training for mediators/facilitators, in the light of supranational legislation. Focusing on the Italian legal system and the Act 150/2022 – which is the consequence of the above mentioned Delegation Law – this chapter analyses the transformative effects of restorative justice on different levels: linguistic, normative and institutional. It also provides a general perspective on the institutionalisation of restorative justice in Italy
