Il contributo esamina il lungo e tormentato iter culturale che ha condotto alla promulgazione della legge 180/1978: dalla cesura in psichiatria tra il pensiero degli accademici e le azioni degli ospedalieri tra fine ’700 e primo ’800, passando attraverso il riferimento agli “alienisti” (così preferivano chiamarsi gli psichiatri in epoca positivista) romantici e spiritualisti sostenitori prima del “morotrofio”, luogo di cura e recupero attraverso trattamenti “morali” poi del “manicomio”, centro di esclusione e di mera custodia, sino alla rivoluzione operata da F. Basaglia, che si ispirava alla psichiatria inglese, sebbene gli intellettuali parigini e l’esistenzialismo di Jean Paul Sartre abbiamo rappresentato un riferimento essenziale. Il lavoro prosegue con una disamina critica della riforma realizzata rispondendo alle principali accuse che le sono state rivolte e termina con uno sguardo al panorama futuro della gestione della sofferenza psichica. ---------- The contribution examines the long and restless cultural iter that has led to the promulgation of the law 180/1978: from the caesura in psychiatry between the academicians’ thought and the hospital workers’ actions in the late 70’s early 80’s, going through the reference to the romantic and spiritualists “alienists” (psychiatrists preferred to be called in this way during the positivist age) supporting first places of care and rehabilitation by “moral” treatments and then the “mental hospital”, centre of exclusion and mere custody, to the revolution made by F. Basaglia, that was inspired by the English psychiatry, although the Parisian intellectuals and the Jean Paul Sartre’s existentialism have represented an essential reference. The works proceeds with a critical examination of the reform realized answering to the principal accusations that have been brought and it ends with a look at the future panorama of the psychic suffering management.

For Americans, long accustomed to judicial review of the law, the traditional absence of a similar system of constitutional control in France comes as a surprise. Closer examination however, reveals that the French politico-historico-judicial tradition inherited from the Ancien Régime and the Revolution of 1789 is deeply opposed to the development of "government by the judges." Why did the Revolution react against the judiciary? How has the idea of constitutional control evolved in modern France? What are the possible sources of legitimacy for an institution (the Conseil constitutionnel) and a concept (judicial review) cut off from the sanction of tradition? What is the future of the Conseil?

During the American Revolution, the peaceable kingdom of William Penn’s dreams became a bloody battlefield that turned loyalty on its head. The law of treason was central to legal debates over the Revolution, both for its initial justification and for how it played out in the daily lives of ordinary Americans. Perhaps the most surprising aspect of the Revolution was the extreme unwillingness of Americans to execute their fellow citizens for treason, despite the enormous danger that British adherents posed to the future of American independence. Such adherents were viewed not as deviant monsters, but as friends and neighbors who had made a political mistake. Whereas the Assembly and the Supreme Executive Council were prone to impulsive actions, courts proceeded more deliberately, with judges, and especially juries, acutely sensitive to the dangers of over-prosecution. .

This volume begins where volumes 2 and 3 ended. The main theme of the four-volume project is that the law of America’s thirteen colonies differed profoundly when they first were founded, but had developed into a common American law by the time of the Revolution. This fourth volume focuses on what was common to the law of Britain’s thirteen North American colonies in the mid-eighteenth century, although it also takes important differences into account. The first five chapters examine procedural and substantive law in colonies and conclude that, except in North Carolina and northern New York, the legal system functioned effectively in the interests both of Great Britain and of colonial localities. The next three chapters examine changes in law and the constitution beginning with the Zenger case in 1735—changes that ultimately culminated in independence. These chapters show how lawyers became leading figures in what gradually became a revolutionary movement. It also shows how lawyers used legal and constitutional ideology in the interests, sometimes of an economic character, of their clients. The book thereby engages prior scholarship, especially that of Bernard Bailyn and John Phillip Reid, to show how ideas and constitutional values possessed independent causal significance in leading up to the Revolution but also served to protect institutional structures and socioeconomic interests that likewise possessed causal significance.

In a Compelling Reading of Sol Plaatje's Native Life in South Africa, Bhekizizwe Peterson Remarks on the Work's Inscription of multiple imagined readers with different investments in the narrative (79). Quoting from Jean-Paul Sartre's reflections on the intricacies of addressing fractured, and sometimes future, publics, Peterson writes:[T]he works of writers who find themselves on the “margin of the privileged class” contain a “double simultaneous postulation,” a consequence of the “fracture” in the “actual public” in which their art is produced and consumed. Because the “real public” consists largely of the conservative forces that compose the dominant class and ideology, the marginal writer is compelled to address “the progressive forces, or the virtual public” even if “the oppressed classes have neither the leisure nor the taste for reading.” In engaging the future and its virtual public—“an emptiness to be filled in, an aspiration”—the writing exceeds its actual limits and extends itself step by step to the infinite.

Abstract During 2020, weddings were profoundly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. During periods of lockdown few weddings could take place, and even afterwards restrictions on how they could be celebrated remained. To investigate the impact of such restrictions, we carried out a survey of those whose plans to marry in England and Wales had been affected by Covid-19. The 1,449 responses we received illustrated that the ease and speed with which couples had been able to marry, and sometimes whether they had been able to marry at all, had depended not merely on the national restrictions in place but on their chosen route into marriage. This highlights the complexity and antiquity of marriage law and reinforces the need for reform. The restrictions on weddings taking place also revealed the extent to which couples valued getting married as opposed to having a wedding. Understanding both the social and the legal dimension of weddings is important in informing recommendations as to how the law should be changed in the future, not merely to deal with similar crises but also to ensure that the general law is fit for purpose in the twenty-first century.

Our schools, our syllabuses, our independence—without which we would not be here—are the fruit of scarifice, of the struggle of generations of our ancestors, of our grandparents, of our parents. They are the fruit of Revolution.To the students we say: you are those who continue the Revolution. We leave in you all our hopes, the hopes of the future of our country. But in order that you can continue the Revolution, you must assume the deep significance of your mission as students. You must understand that the school where you study is the fruit of the blood of sacrifice of our People.

L’écrivain devient rarement écrivain par les voies traditionnelles de l’école. En ce sens, il constitue toujours à quelque degré un autodidacte. Toutefois, la valeur sociale d’une telle figure, qu’il s’agisse de l’écrivain lui-même ou d’un personnage de fiction, varie considérablement selon les cultures et les époques. Dans La Nausée de Jean-Paul Sartre, l’Autodidacte est un personnage complexé qui envie le savoir et la culture de Roquentin. À l’inverse, on trouve nombre de textes littéraires où la figure de l’autodidacte est valorisée. C’est particulièrement vrai dans l’histoire de la littérature québécoise, depuis le XIXe siècle jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Cet article propose d’en faire la démonstration à travers une série d’exemples tirés de chacune des périodes, mais en insistant sur la figure de « l’autodidacte exemplaire » propre à la Révolution tranquille, qui oppose la culture comme désir à la culture comme héritage scolaire. Abstract A writer becomes rarely a writer through studying at school. Speaking of a self-made writer would seem tautological since every writer could pretend to be one at some extent. Nevertheless, the social value of the self-made writer and of it’s literary representations vary a lot from a country to another, and from a period of time to another. In La Nausée from Jean-Paul Sartre, the character of “L’Autodidacte” envy Roquentin’s background and try to walk in his step. At the opposite, there are many examples of literary texts where the self-made is appreciated, if not admired as the true possessor of culture. It’s often the case in the history of Quebec’s literature, from 19th century up to now. This article try to demonstrate such fortune of the self-made by studying examples of Quebec literature chosen in each of the main periods, but especially during the “Révolution tranquille” around the “autodidacte exemplaire” who refuse the culture as inheritance and worship culture as personal desire.
