What happens when a corporate subsidiary or network company is unable to pay personal injury victims in full? This book sets out to tackle the 'insolvent entity problem', especially as it arises in cases of mass wrongdoing such as those involving asbestos exposure and defective pharmaceuticals. After discussing the nature of corporate groups and networks from the perspectives of business history, organisation studies, and social theory, the book assesses a range of rules and proposed rules for extending liability for personal injuries beyond insolvent entities. New proposals are put for an exception to the rule of limited liability and for the development of a flexible new tort based on conspiracy that encompasses not only control-based relationships but also horizontal coordination between companies. The book concludes with a general discussion of lessons learned from debates about extended liability and provides guidelines for the development of new liability rules.

Die stereotype Stigmatisierung des Kopftuchs ist eine Praxis des antimuslimischen Rassismus! Auf der Basis qualitativer Interviewdaten legt Florian Kreutzer alltägliche Praktiken rassistischer Diskriminierung, des Doing Race and Racial Othering offen - und ebenso die Praktiken und Möglichkeiten des Undoing Race, des Durchkreuzens, Unterlaufens, Überwindens und Ungeschehen-Machens der rassistischen Produktion von Andersheit. Die Erzählungen verschleierter Frauen machen deutlich, dass sie sich in ihrer Art und Weise, Familie und Beruf zu vereinbaren, nicht wesentlich von anderen Frauen unterscheiden. Die rassistische Produktion von Andersheit wird so als eine soziale Praxis und strukturelle Dimension moderner Gesellschaften erkennbar.

This groundbreaking volume, written entirely by women, examines the vastly misunderstood and multilayered world of the veil. Veiling- of women, of men, and of sacred places and objects-has existed in countless cultures and religions from time immemorial. Today, veiling is a globally polarizing issue, a locus for the struggle between Islam and the West and between contemporary and traditional interpretations of Islam. But veiling was a practice long before Islam and still extends far beyond the Middle East. This book explores and examines the cultures, politics, and histories of veiling. Twenty-one gifted writers and scholars, representing a wide range of societies, religions, ages, locations, races, and accomplishments, here elucidate, challenge, and/or praise the practice. Expertly organized and introduced by Jennifer Heath, who also writes on male veiling, the essays are arranged in three parts: the veil as an expression of the sacred; the veil as it relates to the emotional and the sensual; and the veil in its sociopolitical aspects. This unique, dynamic, and insightful volume is illustrated throughout. It brings together a multiplicity of thought and experience, much of it personal, to make readily accessible a difficult and controversial subject.

Issue d'une famille juive française et républicaine, Simone Jacob est éprouvée très tôt par le destin lorsque la barbarie nazie la conduit, avec sa mère et sa soeur aînée, à Auschwitz. Mariée et mère de famille, sa vie publique commence au ministère de la Justice. Confrontée aux atrocités de la guerre d'Algérie, elle participe au sauvetage des prisonnières. De la cause des femmes, elle fait ensuite son combat: ministre de la République, elle obtient en 1974 la légalisation de l'avortement... Retracer le destin tragique et superbe de Simone Veil, c'est avant tout comprendre l'histoire de ce siècle.

"One of the most remarkable aspects pertaining to the legal bans and societal debates on the face veil in Europe is that they rely on assumptions which lack any factual basis. To rectify this, Eva Brems researched the experiences of women who wear a face veil in Belgium, and brought her research results together with those of colleagues who did the same in four other European countries. Their findings, which are outlined in this volume, move the current discussion on face veil bans forward by providing a much-needed insider perspective"--

Als feministisch en antiracistisch collectief strijdt BOEH! (Baas Over Eigen Hoofd!) voor het recht op zelfbeschikking van iedere vrouw over haar eigen doen en laten, over haar lichaam en leven. Het recht om in alle vrijheid zelf de keuze te maken om al dan niet een hoofddoek te dragen staat daarbij centraal. Ontstaan uit de protestactie tegen het Antwerpse hoofddoekenverbod voor stadsambtenaren in 2007, heeft BOEH! als feitelijke vereniging van vrijwilligers een unieke positie ingenomen in de intersectionele emancipatiestrijd van vrouwen van kleur en vrouwen die tot een religieuze minderheid behoren. Dit boek kijkt terug op dat afgelegde parcours waarin de organisatie naast het opzetten van vernuftige sensibiliseringsacties ook juridische acties ondernam tegen de schending van het recht van vrouwen op de uitoefening van hun religieuze vrijheid. Aan de hand van inspirerende essays, literaire bijdragen en illustraties blikt het boek terug op dat verleden en kijkt het vooruit naar de toekomst.(https://www.standaardboekhandel.be/p/boeh-9789462673007)

In this 2006 text, Daniel M. Gurtner examines the meaning of the rending of the veil at the death of Jesus in Matthew 27:51a by considering the functions of the veil in the Old Testament and its symbolism in Second Temple and Rabbinic Judaism. Gurtner incorporates these elements into a compositional exegesis of the rending text in Matthew. He concludes that the rending of the veil is an apocalyptic assertion like the opening of heaven revealing, in part, end-time images drawn from Ezekiel 37. Moreover, when the veil is torn Matthew depicts the cessation of its function, articulating the atoning role of Christ's death which gives access to God not simply in the sense of entering the Holy of Holies (as in Hebrews), but in trademark Matthean Emmanuel Christology: 'God with us'. This underscores the significance of Jesus' atoning death in the first gospel.

Shortlisted for the Katharine Briggs Folklore Award 2000. In the 1970s, often to the consternation of parents and siblings, certain progressive young Arab women voluntarily donned the veil. The movement, which rapidly expanded and continues to gather momentum, has sparked controversy within Islamic culture, as well as reactions ranging from perplexity to outrage from those outside it. Western feminist commentators have been particularly vociferous in decrying the veil, which they glibly interpret as a concrete manifestation of patriarchal oppression. However, most Western observers fail to realize that veiling, which has a long and complex history, has been embraced by many Arab women as both an affirmation of cultural identity and a strident feminist statement. Not only does the veil de-marginalize women in society, but it also represents an expression of liberation from colonial legacies. In short, contemporary veiling is more often than not about resistance. By voluntarily removing themselves from the male gaze, these women assert their allegiance to a rich and varied tradition, and at the same time preserve their sexual identity. Beyond this, however, the veil also communicates exclusivity of rank and nuances in social status and social relations that provide telling insights into how Arab culture is constituted. Further, as the author clearly demonstrates, veiling is intimately connected with notions of the self, the body and community, as well as with the cultural construction of identity, privacy and space. This provocative book draws on extensive original fieldwork, anthropology, history and original Islamic sources to challenge the simplistic assumption that veiling is largely about modesty and seclusion, honor and shame.

In deze publicatie staat de islamitische basisschool centraal. Buitenstaanders en sommige allochtone organisaties hebben een aantal bezwaren tegen islamitische scholen geuit. Zo zouden islamitische basisscholen een slechte basis vormen voor interreligieuze en interculturele dialoog en opvoeding. De scholen zouden ook de segregatie tussen jongens en meisjes bevorderen door meisjes en jongens volledig apart te houden binnen de school. De auteur belicht hoe in de islam over opvoeding en onderwijs gedacht wordt.
