Global Health Law:Defining the Field
No full textThis Introductory chapter attempts define the scope and normative foundations of global health law as an emerging field in international law. The author perceives global health law as a field consisting of a limited set of binding and non-binding instruments adopted in the framework of the World Health Organization (WHO), in an interaction with both hard and soft law standards recognized in other branches of international law, including human rights law, international humanitarian law, international environmental law, international trade, property and investment law. As such, global health law reflects an intricate patchwork of hard and soft law standards. The author asserts that human rights, given their normative value, have the potential to play an important role in giving expression to the normative foundations of global health law. Furthermore, the author tentatively discusses the emergence of a number of general principles in global health law, including health capability, equity, and solidarity
Human rights and tobacco plain packaging in Australia
No full textIn December 2012 Australia became the first country to introduce laws mandating plain packaging of tobacco. The laws are based on extensive research showing that plain packaging can reduce the appeal of tobacco products and enhance the effectiveness of health warnings. Combined with taxation measures, they are a crucial part of Australia’s comprehensive tobacco control regime. This chapter considers the human rights implications of the plain-packaging laws in the context of three unsuccessful legal challenges: first, a domestic constitutional challenge which argued that the laws effected an acquisition of tobacco companies’ intellectual property rights other than on just terms; second, a challenge made under the Australia–Hong Kong Bilateral Investment Treaty; third, a WTO challenge based on alleged contravention of the TRIPS Agreement and the TBT Agreement. The chapter sets out Australia’s regulatory framework before explaining how the laws were challenged and why those challenges failed. It then situates this in a broader context by considering the implications for freedom of expression, the right to health and the right to property.</p
Messengers of stress: Towards a cortisol sociology
No full textIn 2008, Timmermans and Haas called for a sociology of disease to develop and challenge the sociology of health and illness. A sociology of disease, they argued, would take seriously the biological and physiological processes of disease in theorising health and illness. Building on two decades of Science and Technology Studies and feminist work on biological actors such as hormones and genes, we propose a cortisol sociology to push further at this argument. As a ‘messenger of stress,’ cortisol is key to understanding human and non-human health as a biosocial phenomenon. We argue that sociologists should engage with cortisol through critical yet open-minded reading of the relevant science and critical triangulation studies, and by tracking cortisol’s movements from science into public worlds of biosensing and self-monitoring

Brisingamen and the Menet necklace
No full textThis article discusses the jewellery worn by the goddess Freyja, the Brisingamen. The author has previously claimed that brising (“glowing”) is a heiti for “garnet”, in Latin called carbunculus and in Greek ἄνθραξ. The word men has been compared by other authors to the Old German word menni meaning a collar for a dog. However, its origin may have been the Menet (alternatively Menat or Menit) – originally the necklace of the cow god Hathor which in the Greco-Roman time was taken over by the fertility goddess Isis. The Menet necklace was mostly used in ceremonies together with the musical instrument sistrum, when the rattling of the Menet was an important element. The late Roma like bracteates or coin imitations and garnet jewellery were important elements, too. Owing to its many metal pendants the Brisingamen could have produced a sound, though in this case not rattling but rather a sound more like jingle bells. This paper presents several precious items of jewellery representing Freyja’s Brisingamen from the Viking period, the most exquisite examples being the necklaces from Hoen in Norway and Eketorp in Swede
