Princípios-Tópicos De Hermenêutica Constitucional, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha Nov 2007

Princípios-Tópicos De Hermenêutica Constitucional, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha

Houve tempo em que a Constituição servia para poisar ou charuto ou tirar um argumento político, como ironicamente afirmaria o grande escritor oitocentista Eça de Queiroz. Hoje a Constituição é a norma das normas. Daí há consequências hermenêuticas. Ao contrário das teorias que importam interpretação tradicional e, por vezes, em grande medida ultrapassada, para o Direito Constitucional, a tendência actual é a inversa: dada a supremacia da Constituição, deve ser a metodologia constitucional a exportar hermenêutica para o todo do Direito. Para isso, começamos neste artigo com grandes princípios de hermenêutica intra-constitucional. Depois se passará à exportação.

Domestic Space, Gendered Experience: Andrea Zittel’S Nomadic Living Units, Lauren L. Gallow Mar 2007

Domestic Space, Gendered Experience: Andrea Zittel’S Nomadic Living Units, Lauren L. Gallow

Lauren L. Gallow

Andrea Zittel, widely considered one of the most influential artists of the past fifteen years, emerged in 1991 with her “breeding unit" installations: compartmentalized living and breeding spaces for small animals. Since 2001, Zittel has largely produced prototypes of objects for everyday use, from wearable fashion to furniture, vehicles, and portable living structures. These living “units" are frequently either compact, portable dwellings, or modules designed to define an interior space and provide all the necessities of everyday living, including cooking, washing, and sleeping. In an analysis of Zittel's austere yet consumerist living spaces, I examine the intimate link between domestic …

Carving Out Identity: Sadomasochism And The Discourse Of Evil In The Work Of Catherine Opie, Lauren Gallow Feb 2007

Carving Out Identity: Sadomasochism And The Discourse Of Evil In The Work Of Catherine Opie, Lauren Gallow

Lauren L. Gallow

Cutting. Mutilation. Manipulation. Distortion. As both a photographer and member of the lesbian and sadomasochistic communities, Catherine Opie has embraced extreme and violent actions as a means of fighting against narrow definitions of gender, sexual identity, and family values. During the early 1990s when Opie produced two of her most controversial works—Self-Portrait/Cutting (1993) and Self-Portrait/Pervert (1994)—a discourse of “evil” was often evoked in an attempt to marginalize and disempower the subcultures Opie represented in her photographs. The key players involved in the NEA censorship controversy (1989–1991) propagated just such a discourse, leading to a demarcation of these subcultures as “evil” …


Centum Homines: The Prototype Of The Alexander Mosaic And The Military Museum In The Hellenistic World, Peter Nulton Feb 2007

Centum Homines: The Prototype Of The Alexander Mosaic And The Military Museum In The Hellenistic World, Peter Nulton

Peter E. Nulton Ph.D.

Although it is generally accepted that the Alexander Mosaic copies a painting of the 4th Century BCE, the attribution of this prototype has never been settled. Numerous attempts have been made to associate it with painters recorded in Pliny's Natural History, notably Philoxenos of Eretria, and Alexander's court painter, Apelles.

If the painting were the work of any artist whose name survives, as strong a case can be made for Aristeides of Thebes as for Apelles or Philoxenos. Since Pliny's comment that Aristeides painted a battle against the Persians follows his treatment of the works of Apelles, he is likely …

Ironic Gestures: Asger Jorn, Abstract Expressionism, And Informel, Karen Kurczynski Dec 2006

Ironic Gestures: Asger Jorn, Abstract Expressionism, And Informel, Karen Kurczynski

Karen Kurczynski

Discusses the artistic strategies of the mature (late 1950s) work of Danish painter Asger Jorn (1914-1973) as a combination of celebration of the possibilities of gestural expression and a critical response to the limited way gestural painting was framed in the movements of Abstract Expressionism in the US and Informel in Europe. Considered in light of his theoretical writing and his participation in the collective avant-gardes Cobra and the Situationist International, Jorn's art work politicizes abstract painting at the height of the Cold War and presents neo-Marxist and/or Situationist responses to the artificial social isolation of painting through specific strategies …


Direito À Informação Ou Deveres De Protecção Informativa Do Estado?,, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha Dec 2006

Direito À Informação Ou Deveres De Protecção Informativa Do Estado?,, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha

A Liberdade de Informação poderá ser simultaneamente defendida pelo dever de abstenção do Estado na esfera de exercício privado (não perigoso) de cada cidadão ou grupo “ordeiro” de cidadãos, e pelo dever de protecção dos cidadãos e das suas pessoas morais (incluindo obviamente associações e empresas) nos casos em que a ordem natural da rede social equitativa seja rompida, designadamente por fenómenos de massificação arregimentadora, trusts anti-concorrência, violação de direitos fundamentais, etc., e, no limite, crime. Mas o discernimento e ponderação terão que ser muito grandes.

It is not usual to write a constitutional history from the view point of a foreigner. This is a essai of a glimpse of Brazilian constitutional history from the perspective of a Portuguese, descending from Bazilians, descending from Portuguese. In spite of those circunstances, of course the aim was always the possible objectivity in History and in Constitutional Law History.
