Robert F. Drinan, Georgetown University
A century ago, there was no such thing as international justice, and until recently, the idea of permanent international courts and formal war crimes tribunals would have been almost unthinkable. Yet now we depend on institutions such as these to air and punish crimes against humanity,... ""Toward a Just World" is an insightful and thoughtful history.

ISBN: 9780226711010 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 195 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The attraction of a wink, a nod, a discarded snapshot--such feelings permeate our lives, yet we usually dismiss them as insubstantial or meaningless. With "The Logic of the Lure," John Paul Ricco argues that it is precisely such fleeting, erotic, and even perverse experiences that will help us create a truly queer notion of ethics and aesthetics, one that recasts sociality and sexuality, place and finitude in ways suggested by the anonymity and itinerant lures of cruising. Shifting our attention from artworks to the work that art does, from subjectivity to becoming, and from static space to...
