Abstract

Apparus tardivement en droit français, le droit à la vie privée et le droit à l’image sont actuellement au cœur de nombreuses controverses d’ordre juridique et politique. À travers plus de 500 décisions, dont beaucoup inédites, cet ouvrage fait la synthèse du droit positif, traité d’une manière générale, thématique et critique. En outre, il restitue le régime juridique applicable dans le contexte plus large du droit à l’information garanti par la Convention européenne de sauvegarde des droits de l’homme. Un survol du droit comparé permet de constater que le droit français est d’ores et déjà un des plus restrictifs en la matière. Sur un sujet d’actualité, il constitue de ce fait un outil de travail indispensable aux étudiants, avocats, magistrats, journalistes et photographes

Abstract

In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Russians from all ranks of society were bound together by a culture of honor. Here one of the foremost scholars of early modern Russia explores the intricate and highly stylized codes that made up this culture. Nancy Shields Kollmann describes how these codes were manipulated to construct identity and enforce social norms--and also to defend against insults, to pursue vendettas, and to unsettle communities. She offers evidence for a new view of the relationship of state and society in the Russian empire, and her richly comparative approach enhances knowledge of statebuilding in premodern Europe. By presenting Muscovite state and society in the context of medieval and early modern Europe, she exposes similarities that blur long-standing distinctions between Russian and European history.Through the prism of honor, Kollmann examines the interaction of the Russian state and its people in regulating social relations and defining an individual's rank. She finds vital information in a collection of transcripts of legal suits brought by elites and peasants alike to avenge insult to honor. The cases make clear the conservative role honor played in society as well as the ability of men and women to employ this body of ideas to address their relations with one another and with the state. Kollmann demonstrates that the grand princes-and later the tsars-tolerated a surprising degree of local autonomy throughout their rapidly expanding realm. Her work marks a stark contrast with traditional Russian historiography, which exaggerates the power of the state and downplays the volition of society.

Abstract

Liberty and Sexuality is an account of the legal and political struggles that created the right to privacy and won constitutional protection for a woman's right to choose abortion. Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that established that right, grew out of not only efforts to legalize abortion but also out of earlier battles against statutes that criminalized birth control. In this updated and expanded paperback edition, Garrow also traces the post-Roe evolution of abortion rights battles and the wider struggle for sexual privacy up through the 25th anniversary of Roe in early 1998.
