Law, Family, and Women

Toward a Legal Anthropology of Renaissance Italy

Focusing on Florence, Thomas Kuehn demonstrates the formative influence of law on Italian society during the Renaissance, especially in the spheres of family and women. Kuehn's use of legal sources along with letters, diaries, and contemporary accounts allows him to present a compelling image of the social processes that affected the shape and function of the law. The numerous law courts of Italian city-states constantly devised and revised statutes. Kuehn traces the permutations of these laws, then examines their use by Florentines to arbitrate conflict and regulate social behavior regarding such issues as kinship, marriage, business, inheritance, illlegitimacy, and gender. Ranging from one man's embittered denunciation of his father to another's reaction to his kinsmen's rejection of him as illegitimate, Law, Family, and Women provides fascinating evidence of the tensions riddling family life in Renaissance Florence. Kuehn shows how these same tensions, often articulated in and through the law, affected women. He examines the role of the mundualdus—a male legal guardian for women—in Florence, the control of fathers over their married daughters, and issues of inheritance by and through women. An ambitious attempt to reformulate the agenda of Renaissance social history, Kuehn's work will be of value to both legal anthropologists and social historians. Thomas Kuehn is professor of history at Clemson University.

Language and the Joint Creation of Knowledge

The selected works of Neil Mercer

In the World Library of Educationalists series, international experts themselves compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces – extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and practical contributions – so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands and see how their work contributes to the development of the field. Language and the Joint Creation of Knowledge draws on the most prominent writing of Neil Mercer, covering his ground-breaking and critically acclaimed work on the role of talk in education, and on the relationship between spoken language and cognition. The text explores key themes, relating theoretical ideas to research evidence and to practical educational situations that improve children’s lives. Offering students and researchers a clear, accessible and up-to-date account of a sociocultural perspective on the relationship between spoken language and cognition, it explains one of the key themes in Neil Mercer’s work – that humans have uniquely evolved the capacity to think together, or ‘interthink’. Offering a crucial insight into the work of Neil Mercer, this selection showcases why his approach has become the dominant paradigm in educational research, and why it is increasingly influential in the psychology of teaching and learning. This unique collection of published articles and chapters, which represent the key themes and range of his research over the last 40 years, will be of interest to all followers of his work and any reader interested in the role of language in education.

Fikih Interaktif [seri 1]

Diskusi Seputar Fikih Klasik-Kontemporer

Alhamdulillah, selamat dan sukses. Saya ikut bersyukur dan apresiasi atas terbitnya sebuah buku fikih yang berjudul, “Fikih Interaktif”. Sebuah buku fikih yang memuat ajaran mendasar dan sangat penting dalam Islam yang disajikan sesuai dengan judulnya, yakni interaktif, tapi nampak substantif di balik pemaparannya yang singkat dan praktis. Dr. Muslihan Habib, MA (Komisi Ukhuwah Islamiyyah MUI Pusat) Arti fikih adalah pemahaman, namun hasil dari pemahaman itu adalah ibadah dalam bentuk praktik pada seluruh anggota tubuh. Karena itu, buku ini penting karena memberikan pemahaman ibadah yang mudah tentang fikih agar mudah pula dipraktekkan oleh anggota tubuh. Dr. Abdul Muid Nawawi, MA (Kaprodi Magister Ilmu Al-Qur’an dan Tafsir Insitut PTIQ Jakarta) Hal yang paling menarik perhatian saya terhadap buku ini adalah selain kuatnya tradisi keilmuan yang dijaga oleh penulisnya, juga karena semangatnya dalam mendudukkan kembali kesalahpahaman sebagian kecil orang yang meragukan fikih yang diajarkan oleh ulama Nusantara, yang mereka anggap sebagai tidak otoritatif. Padahal, dalam konteks Indonesia, sejatinya merekalah yang telah menjaga sanad (mata rantai) keilmuan termasuk fikih hingga tersambung sampai kepada sang pembawa ajaran, Rasulullah Saw. Karya ini juga membuka kesadaran kita tentang perlunya menata ulang kemasan fikih yang bersesuaian dengan selera zaman yang sederhana, kuat secara dalil, apik, tidak bertele-tele dan aplikatif. Setelah memiliki buku keren ini, kita akan kangen dengan kehadiran buku-buku keren karya M. Agus Yusron, MA selanjutnya. Tsabit Latief, SQ, MA (Sekretaris Lakpesdam PWNU Prov. Banten)

Transnational Culture in the Internet Age

Digital technology has transformed global culture, connecting and empowering users on a hitherto unknown scale. Existing paradigms from intellectual property rights to cultural diversity and telecommunications regulation seem increasingly obsolete, confounding policymakers and provoking wide-ranging debate. Transnational Culture in the Internet Age draws on a range of disciplines to examine new approaches to regulating communications and cultural production. The insightful contributions shed new light on insufficiently examined issues and highlight connections that cut across the many different domains in which such regulations operate. Building upon the framework presented by David Post – one of the first and most prominent scholars of cyber law and a contributor to this volume – the authors address the implications and economics of the Internet's astronomical scale, jurisdiction and enforcement of the web as it relates to topics including libel tourism and threats to free speech, and the power of global communication to dissolve and recreate identities. Ideal for students and scholars of innovation, technology, cyber law and communication, Transnational Culture in the Internet Age will be a valuable addition to any library.
