On Comics and Legal Aesthetics: Multimodality and the Haunted Mask of Knowing
ISBN: 9781138224032 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Law brings certainty to life. Its production of and reliance upon rational text as the predominant way of knowing about, and thus judicially managing, the world enables law to give practical and certain answers to difficult and complex moral, judicial and philosophical questions. But law s conscious certainty involves the denial of alternative ways of knowing, and a repression of the aesthetic and the visual within dominant forms of legal knowledge. Tapping into the recent turn towards literary, cultural and visual concerns in legal studies, this book examines the critical value that... Law brings certainty to life.

The Consequences of Modernity
ISBN: 9780745609232 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this work, Giddens offers a new interpretation of the institutional transformations associated with modernity. His main argument is that we do not as yet live in a post-modern world. Rather, the distinctive characteristics of major social institutions in the closing period of the 20th century express the emergence of a period of high modernity, in which prior trends are radicalized rather than undermined.

ISBN: 9781469673417 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Oconaluftee Valley, located on the North Carolina side of the Smokies, is home of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians and part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site).

The Consequences of Modernity
ISBN: 9780804718912 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this major theoretical statement, the author offers a new and provocative interpretation of institutional transformations associated with modernity. What is modernity? The author suggests, "As a first approximation, let us simply say the following: 'modernity' refers to modes of social life or organization which emerged in Europe from about the seventeenth century onwards and which subsequently became more or less worldwide in their influence." We do not as yet, the author argues, live in a post-modern world. The distinctive characteristics of our major social institutions in the closing...

The Progressive Manifesto: New Ideas for the Centre-Left
ISBN: 9780745632940 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book seeks to develop a new agenda for the centre-left.

Recent years have seen the widespread return of the right to power, coupled to the prominence of far right parties in many countries.
