Heteronormativity And The Federal Tax Code, Nancy J. Knauer

Nancy J. Knauer

Proponents of same-sex marriage demand equal marriage rights as a matter of fundamental human dignity and as a means to gain certain legal benefits and protections. The ability to file joint federal income tax returns is invariably listed as one of the benefits associated with marriage. This outsider perspective contradicts the popular notion that the income tax is anti-marriage and offers a useful vantage point from which to analyze the marital provisions of the federal tax code, the treatment of the provisions in tax scholarship, and legislative proposals for "pro-family" tax reform. The joint filing provisions are just one example …

Taxing Personhood: Estate Taxes And The Compelled Commodification Of Identity, Ray D. Madoff

Ray D. Madoff

In this Article, Professor Madoff explores the ways in which the blunt tools of the wealth tax, and in particular the estate tax, uses a one-size-fits-all system to impose a tax on all property interests owned at the time of one’s death. Professor Madoff illustrates the ways in which these blunt tools can produce problematic results by examining their application to the right of publicity, a newly recognized property interest. Professor Madoff suggests that the imposition of the estate tax can force the commodification of an individual’s identity, regardless of one’s desire to refrain from marketing their identity, and explores …

Dalla Simbologia Giuridica A Una Filosofia Giuridica E Politica Simbolica ? Ovvero Il Diritto E I Sensi, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha

La prima conseguenza della nostra cultura giuridica dell'audizione che è anche cultura dell'oralità, del discorso e della scrittura (di tutto ciò che serve per parlare e fissare quello che può essere detto) è la volontaria atrofia degli altri sensi: il tatto, il gusto, l'olfatto e la vista. Il Diritto quasi non tocca le cose. Le concepisce mentalmente, le dice, però, anche se con i guanti deve toccare il corpo del delitto.

Inexistencia Y Nulidad Desde El Punto De Vista De Los Derechos Italiano, Español Y Peruano, Rómulo Morales

Rómulo Martín Morales Hervias

El tema de análisis comparativo es la inexistencia y la nulidad del negocio jurídico. En Italia se propuso tal distinción para solucionar problemas en el tráfico jurídico. En España, la discusión tiene trascendencia restringida. Y en el Perú, la discusión quedó aparentemente terminada con la idea de la admisión legislativa de la nulidad virtual.

Photon Gas Thermodynamics: Self-Inconsistency, Milan Meszaros

Milan Meszaros physicist

In this chapter, it is shown that the well known adiabatic equations of state of photon gas cannot be valid simultaneously. Moreover, it is argued that Planck distribution just as the Wien and Rayleigh-Jeans laws cannot be invariant for an adiabatic change of state occuring in an ensemble of photons -a photon gas- and novel type of ultraviolet catastrophe occurs. These arguments are also valid for arbitrary deformation of electromagnetic radiation fields and quantum plasmas.

Creating International Space For Taiwan: The Law And Politics Of Recognition, Paul R. Williams

The task of this presentation is to analyze the potential legal and political reaction to an attempt by Taiwan to move its current status over the cusp and into the realm of independence, or an alternative attempt by China to back down Taiwan into a one China with the one system policy.
