Max Weber, David Bearman og de elektroniske arkivene
Full text linkDen moderne arkivvidenskab er en sammensat størrelse, der kan være vanskelig at få defineret under en samlet betegnelse. Forskellige teoretikere har bidraget med arbejde, der alligevel kan gøre det muligt at indkredse genstandsfelt, koncepter, teorier og begreber. Arkiv og dokumentation regnes som almene, bestandige og centrale elementer i bureaukrati og forvaltning. Sociologiens grundlægger Max Weber (1864-1920) producerede en omfattende og bred analyse af bureaukratiets funktionsmåde i begyndelsen af det 20. århundret. Skriftlighed, arkivmateriale og «Akten» eller filer var inkluderet i dette billede. Arkivernes egenskaber som kilder til dokumentation og information som igen sikrer myndighedernes og embedsværkets ansvarlighed, var – og blev regnet som – en central og ufravigelig del af forvaltningens maskineri. Den gennemgribende digitaliseringen af samfundet som indtraf fra sidste del af århundret og som nu gerne sammenfattes som det digitale skifte, kom til at udgøre en trussel mod bevaringen af arkiv i den traditionelle form, mod hjørnestenene i bureaukratiet som oversættelighed og dokumenterbarhed, og mere alment mod det vi kan kalde skriftlighedens bestandighed. Denne artikel undersøger hvordan disse ændringer blev opfattet i de første ti år af det digitale skiftet og hvordan «de lange linjer» i udviklingen af arkiv og dokumentationsforvaltning som fag- og videnskabsområde blev påvirket af digitaliseringen. Det er i perioden, hvor arkivvidenskaben revitaliseres som selvstændig videnskab, blandt andet på grund af den pågående digitalisering. Den har siden hen revolutioneret ikke bare arkiv- og dokumentationsforvaltning, men også ændret kommunikationsformerne overalt i samfundet. Vi tager udgangspunkt i arbejdet fra to forskere og videnskabspersoner i hver ende af århundret – Max Weber og David Bearman.Max Weber, David Bearman og de elektroniske arkivenepublishedVersio

Georgetown Immigration Law Journal
No full textThis article proposes the creation of a new visa category for certain undocumented entrepreneurs to resolve the issue of the de facto deportation of the undocumented entrepreneurs' business upon their removal. Part I of the article briefly discusses the economic benefits of immigration, and focuses on the specific benefit of certain high-value undocumented immigrant business creators. Part II then analyzes the economic and social policies behind the current immigrant and non-immigrant investor visa programs, noting that the purpose of the proposed visa coincides almost entirely with the existing legal regime with the exception of its availability to certain undocumented immigrants. While recognizing and discussing the arguments against rewarding unlawful presence, the article concludes that for economically-oriented visa categories, economic concerns have and should continue to be given priority over social ones. Part III proposes certain profitability, participation, employee generation and tax compliance metrics that would need to be satisfied to ensure visa eligibility, noting specifically the attendant issues of corporate structuring. By creating such a visa, U.S. immigration law would incentivize and reward successful entrepreneurial activity, and by doing so strongly benefit the U.S. economy and establish a mechanism that would allow some of the most successful and talented immigrants to legalize their immigration status when they would otherwise be unable to do so.4765-8132
Marquette Law Review
No full textThis article argues that the coercive use of immigration status or "status coercion" in civil proceedings and negotiations is fundamentally unethical and potentially illegal. For attorneys attempting to take advantage of unauthorized immigration status, such conduct very likely violates an attorney's ethical obligations under the Rules of Professional Responsibility and wrongfully takes advantage of an overly vulnerable population. For the judiciary, the article argues for a more proactive approach in maintaining the perception of fairness and justice in civil proceedings for all parties, regardless of immigration status. Additionally, for both legal and lay persons, status coercion may constitute the crime of extortion, and this article establishes how status coercion in most cases fills the required elements of extortion. Part I of the article discusses in reported and unreported decisions the various fora where the described harms most often occur, including specifically commercial disputes, custody litigation and employment law issues where case outcomes have hinged on immigration status, and analyzes the impetus for the harms and the consequences, where appropriate, of the same. Part II of the article looks at ethical obligations, primarily those imposed by the Rules of Professional Responsibility on attorneys and the Model Code of Judicial Conduct for judges. Part II also looks in a more narrow perspective at potential criminal prohibitions and sanctions regulating this type of behavior affecting all parties. Part III suggests potential remedies available to the unauthorized immigrant in both civil and immigration proceedings when faced with status coercion. Part IV concludes that current ethical and legal obligations imposed on community members should be sufficient to prevent status coercion in commercial and civil contexts in the vast majority of cases. In addition, states should adopt specific rules or issue ethical opinions on point to provide guidance to all attorneys and judges faced with these situations. The article concludes that as unauthorized immigrants are one of the most vulnerable and susceptible populations to harm done to them, the ethical rules governing lawyers and judges should clearly state, and be understood, as prohibiting this type of coercion.2613-6789
American Bankruptcy Law Journal
No full textThis essay critically examines MERS' structure which incorporates principles of dubious legality such as a theory of common agency as well as a duality of roles held by MERS. The article examines many recent decisions in state, federal and bankruptcy courts in order to identify current trends regarding MERS-related jurisprudence. The essay also provides an in-depth discussion of the historical issue of severing a promissory note and a mortgage, and how that can prove to be fatal in some cases but not others (depending especially on the forum). The article concludes with a proposal for the creation of a federal data clearinghouse akin to the EDGAR system for publicly held companies, to document ownership and transfers of mortgages and promissory notes in a secondary market.3239-2648
ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law
No full textEste artículo propone un enfoque más amplio en relación a las regulaciones subfederales a favor de la inmigración con el propósito de nivelar el campo legislativo actual. Bajo el actual enfoque sobre el derecho de prioridad, apoyado por muchos que razonablemente temen por una discriminación subfederal incontrolada en contra de los inmigrantes, el Congreso ha otorgado a los estados el derecho de actuar en este campo exclusivamente en una dirección a favor de la aplicación. En vez de sólo permitir propuestas a favor de la aplicación, una propuesta más flexible para analizar cómo interpretar el derecho de prioridad debe ser empleada para otorgarle a los estados la habilidad de generar enfoques variados y más adaptables en el asunto de inmigración ilegal.3835-8711
