Il volume esplora le dinamiche storiche, economiche e giuridiche che favorirono la formazione dei due concetti (e dei connessi sistemi di regole) che interpretano l’esigenza di tutelare la creatività in seno alla tradizione giuridica occidentale: il copyright anglosassone e il droit d’auteur francese, quest’ultimo antesignano dei modelli di diritto d’autore poi sviluppati dai sistemi di civil law continentali, fra cui quello italiano.

I Diritti dell'Arte Contemporanea

Galleria d'Arte Moderna GAM Torino 6-7 maggio 2010
corso Galielao Ferraris, 30

l’arte contemporanea contribuisce a rappresentare le identità sociali e culturali del nostro tempo. 

il diritto rappresenta e definisce le regole per la gestione dei rapporti sociali, nei diversi luoghi in cui agiamo. 

l’artista si avvale di mezzi espressivi che producono degli esiti, ora destinati a durare, ora a mutare o concludersi; 

quei mezzi sono, nell’arte contemporanea, i più vari, e coinvolgono l’ambiente, le tecnologie, il corpo stesso 

dell’artista. 

a tali esiti si interessa il diritto, per definirli, proteggerne lo scambio e l’appropriazione, certificarne il riferimento 

all’autore, in situazioni che superano i confini degli stati. 

15.00 -18.00 I sessione

Carolingian Canon Law

Posted by Dan Ernst on the Legal History Blog

A press release from the University of Kentucky, announcing the receipt by Abigail Firey, of Kentucky's history department, of an ACLS Digital Innovation Fellowship, has drawn my attention to the Carolingian Canon Law Project, which is described on its website thus:

The Carolingian Canon Law project is producing a searchable, electronic rendition of major works of Carolingian canon law, in a presentation that shows their relation to other works of canon law used by Carolingian jurists. This project maps the extent of variation in "standard" legal texts known to Carolingian jurists, and identifies particular points of variation. In addition to clarifying the textual history of medieval canon law, the project will provide historical and bibliographic annotation of several hundred canons used by jurists before, during, and after the Carolingian period.

The same press release notes that another member of Kentucky's department, Gretchen Starr-LeBeau, has won "a Philosophical Society Fellowship to continue her comparative study of early modern courts of the Inquisition in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Mexico." Professor Starr-LeBeau says of her research:

I really became interested in how those convicted in the Inquisition defended themselves and the strategies they used. . . . For my latest project, I'll be comparing court records throughout Spain, Venice, Lisbon and Mexico City.

Juris Diversitas Subscription Box

JURIS DIVERSITAS

An interdisciplinary Centre for the Study of

Legal and Normative Mixtures and Movements

Note that Juris Diversitas (http://jurisdiversitas.blogspot.com/) has added an email subscription box to our blog. We’ve also added bloggers and will be announcing an Advisory Board of senior academics over the next few weeks.

Juris Diversitas aims to negotiate the boundaries (i) between hybrid legal and normative traditions and (ii) between comparative law and other disciplines. Both of these aims are pursued in our ‘Mediterranean Legal Hybridity’ symposium to be held in Malta on Saturday, 12 June 2010. The symposium is the first event in a project that, while focused on the region, may produce a model that can be used around the world.

In conjunction with the symposium, there will also be an informal roundtable discussion of any research related to our general themes on Friday, 11 June 2010. For information on the symposium or roundtable, email me (sean.donlan@ul.ie). The deadline for the former is Monday, 29 March 2010.

Please feel free to contact me with questions, suggestions, links, and events. And please spread the word about us to interested individuals and institutions.
