En noviembre de 1999, ITCENIT ha publicado un informe que analiza el impacto de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y comunicaciones en la economía de la Argentina. Advierte sobre la oportunidad económica que la Argentina está desaprovechando al no estar preparada para ingresar en la Era de la Información, y del riesgo que corre de quedar notablemente retrasada con respecto a otros países. Este trabajo, resultado de tres años de reflexiones, ha sido especialmente preparado para sugerir ideas al nuevo gobierno que asumía en diciembre de 1999, e incluye una propuesta concreta con el fin de introducir en nuestra …

Robert R.M. Verchick
Recently, legal scholars have begun to explore the meaning and significance of geographic space in law within the United States and internationally, a project highlighted in a 1996 Stanford Law Review symposium.

Each issue raises questions of …

Nancy J. Knauer
Same-sex domestic violence is a difficult topic. The LGBT communities have been reluctant to discuss same-sex domestic violence for fear of validating negative stereotypes and detracting from the push for legal recognition of such relationships. The relative silence on this issue continues despite the fact that individuals in same-sex relationships are more likely to be abused by their partners than beaten in an act of anti-gay violence. and despite legislative efforts to restrict domestic violence laws to cover only different-sex couples.

A hazard lurks in any but the most careful representation of another's viewpoint. Call it "slippage" or the "essentialist error," the point is that communication rarely does complete justice to its object. The problem is compounded when the communication is mediated. We all know that between a story and its retelling, something will get lost in translation. Consider feminism, gay legal theory, and critical race theory, and their depictions in academic journals and the popular media. Newspapers and news magazines have recently published a spate of academic trash talk accusing critical race theorists of "playing the race card" and indulging …
