ISBN: 9780826478771 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The distinction between understanding sight as a natural faculty - vision - and understanding it as an historical and social construct - visuality - has had significant impact in the visual arts. Not so in social theory where, notwithstanding the efforts of the classical theorists, the practical scientific necessity of privileging visuality over vision has been lost.

Globalisation, Human Rights and Labour Law in Pacific Asia
ISBN: 9780521628839 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This pathbreaking book is the first substantive contribution to a sociology of human rights and takes up the question of whether so-called Asian values are compatible with human rights discourse.
