Présentation de l’éditeur

Ce volume se centre sur Loménie de Brienne, figure complexe et emblématique se situant entre philosophie des Lumières et apologétique, ainsi que sur d'autres figures paradoxales dans le but d’éclairer la dialectique permanente entre philosophes et antiphilosophes et de revisiter l’histoire littéraire, ou du moins d’en explorer l’envers.

The words 'all rise' announce the appearance of the judge in the thespian space of the courtroom and trigger the beginning of that play we call a trial. The symbolically staged enactment of conflict in the form of litigation is exemplary of legal action, its liturgical and real effects. It establishes the roles and discourses, hierarchy and deference, atmospheres and affects that are to be taken up in the more general social stage of public life. Leading international scholars drawn from performance studies, theatre history, aesthetics, dance, film, history, and law provide critical analyses of the sites, dramas and stage directions to be found in the orchestration of the tragedies and comedies acted out in multiple forums of contemporary legality. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

This book examines the murder ballad form, songs about death and killing, from a legal history perspective. It is held that taking on the long history of the murder ballad is a way that we can understand how death and killing in song has a function in dealing with the world around us. The book integrates law and humanities scholarship with diverse musical case studies to construct a typology of murder ballads and thus conceptualise the central messages of how murder ballads have treated death and killing. Drawing on a cultural form in which assessment and consideration of death and killing are so vigorously and richly enacted gives lawyers a guide to how those who do not see these matters through a primarily legal lens might understand this part of their world. The study will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of Criminal Law, Legal History, Socio-Legal Studies, Criminology, and Musicology.

Daniel Newman is Professor of Law at Cardiff University, UK.

Présentation de l’éditeur

Depuis les années 1990, le Front national, devenu Rassemblement national, s’est imposé comme l’un des principaux opposants français à l’intégration européenne au nom de la souveraineté nationale. Pourtant, en une décennie, son discours sur l’Europe a profondément évolué. Comment un parti prônant la rupture avec l’Union européenne en est-il venu à défendre sa transformation de l’intérieur ? En analysant les campagnes européennes de 2014, 2019 et 2024, ce texte éclaire les ambiguïtés d’un souverainisme devenu largement rhétorique.
