Cities as Ill Bodies in Films and Series: Call for Papers

Image
Cities as Ill Bodies in Films and Series Anne Wagner Associate Professor  EIC of the International Journal for the Semiotics of Law Co-Editor of the Series “Law, Language and Communication” City is a living organism. It is built around a centre – the heart - that provides wealth, prosperity and work to citizens (i.e. the business centre). Transportation arteries are constructed to cut traffic congestion and to facilitate the link between dormitory rings and the business centre. City is like a living monster. It needs expansion, exposure, recognition, security and regeneration. City suffers. Congestion is far too important and the lack of security is the core issue for the Town Hall and its inhabitants. The most urgent matter concerns the close link between the regeneration of cities and their environment in order to maintain peace, comfort, discretion and visibility for all. City is an ill body with signs and symptoms that need to be treated and cured to restore its utility value to it

Principled Reasoning in Human Rights Adjudication Se-shauna Wheatle Implied constitutional principles form part of the landscape of the development of fundamental rights in common law jurisdictions, affecting issues ranging from the remuneration of judges to the appropriation of property by the state.
