Production Conditions

This article discusses the production conditions of colonial Potosí iconography, particularly that elaborated by architects who knew the Villa Rica first-hand, either as travelers or as residents of the city. At the crossing between the field of visual culture and the reflection on genres and textual typologies, a review of images that emerged from the xvi to the xvii centuries is proposed. Such images depict the fixation of a certain way of seeing. Against the common determination of addressing conventional forms of representation of Potosí and its Cerro Rico, a reiterated encounter with a shared experience of the surrounding space is shown as the reason for the repetition of these images. The result, represented in a double conical profile of Cerro Rico and Huayna Potosí (or little Potosí), and the presence of a small conical hill located to the right of the observer’s vision range, accounts for communication exercises of a shared and familiar experience.

Current Procedure

 Estonia’s first Bankruptcy Act was passed in 1992 and has been continuously under amendment. Estonian bankruptcy law has provided three distinct procedures for the determination of votes at the first general meeting of creditors: 1) in 1992–2003, the votes were determined only by the trustee; 2) in 2004–2009, the votes determined by the trustee were approved by the court; and 3) under the current law, the court intervenes only if there is a dispute over the determination of the votes. All the amendments notwithstanding, the process of determining the votes under Estonian bankruptcy law remains problematic. The current procedure for the determination of the votes at the first general meeting of creditors does not protect the rights and interests of the creditors, protect the common interests of the creditors, or follow the principle of procedural economy. The law should provide a term that specifies the time by which court rulings on the determination of the votes should be made. Thereby, important decisions could be adopted at the same general meeting, and bankruptcy proceedings could continue. Furthermore, to ensure that disputes are resolved within reasonable time and that the principles of speed and efficiency are honoured, insolvency courts should be created. There is also the problem of determining which issues belong to the disputes about votes. A creditor assigned votes must file proof of claim, together with documents proving the circumstances, with the trustee in three working days. For protecting the creditors’ interests and ensuring a fair and equitable system, the trustee, in co operation with the court, has the right and obligation to verify and evaluate the documents substantiating the claim, in order to prevent unjustified claims from conferring control over the bankruptcy proceedings.

This chapter applies different concepts of radical street theatre and urban performance in order to theorize the ways in which food trucks form temporary communities in urban spaces through embodied, performative intervention. An ethnographic portrait of one of Toronto’s first and best-known food truck entrepreneurs, Fidel Gastro, is employed to demonstrate the precarious position food trucks hold within the political narratives governing public space in the city of Toronto, and the ambivalence food truck entrepreneurs display toward current configurations of urban market economies. David Harvey’s conception of the right to the city is then critically applied to this scenario in order to argue that food trucks harbor the potential to intervene in dominant urban narratives, allowing urban dwellers to assert the common right to change ourselves by changing our cities.

This paper focuses on the artwork of Chinese artist Zhang Dali entitled ‘The Slogan Series.’ Zhang uses a particular technique of text and image juxtaposition to engage with the civic political slogans that were plastered on the streets of Beijing on the eve of the 2008 Olympic Games. His ‘Slogan Series’ consists of large paintings: each of them reproduces the human face of a common person, either in red and white or in black and white, which is literally covered by repeated civic political slogans. The paper investigates the origin of Zhang’s artwork, shedding light on the aesthetics and socio–political implications of a double juxtaposition: in the government’s ‘new citizenship’ campaign, the slogans are juxtaposed with the cityscape, while in Zhang Dali’s work the slogans are imposed on the common people’s faces.

Abstract Advertisements on the edge or around the street has become a common sight in the cities. Advertising by the private sector on the edge or around the street is permitted, but the advertisements and their structure erected on the certain locations in the street raises the question of how far the urban environment of these street is truly public. Focusing on this question, this paper examines it using framework based on model developed by scholar Lawrence Lessig that assess common across three layer: physical, code, and content. To do this, research needs to be done by using a descriptive qualitative approach. This study deploy the framework in a case of a road in the city of Bekasi. The result is that the framework proves a conceptual and operational means for analysing how advertisements reduce the right of street passers to safe, comfortable, meaningful public spaces.

In the literature of law, there has been comparatively little discussion as to the nature of political representation. A representative democracy has been defined as “a form of government where the powers of the sovereignty are delegated to a body of men, elected from time to time, who exercise them for the benefit of the whole nation.” And a representative form of government has been defined as “a government conducted and constituted by the agency of delegates, or deputies, chosen by the people.”Judge Thomas M. Cooley, speaking for the Michigan supreme court, said: “A representative is one chosen by a principal to exercise for him a power or perform for him a trust. In that sense, the mayor of a city is a representative for some purposes, the members of the common council for others, and the members of the board of education for still others … the right to be represented implies a right, not merely to name the person, but also to designate the trust that shall be confided to him.” On this basis, it was held that a board of park commissioners established by the state legislature with certain powers, and recognized by the common council of the city, could not be vested afterwards by the legislature with additional powers previously exercised by the council.Somewhat similar is the position of an English judge as to the authority of a representative in a legal proceeding. “A solicitor is the representative of his client, but counsel is not, for counsel has the whole conduct of the case, and can act even against the instructions of his client.” It was accordingly held that a solicitor is a representative within S. 17(4) Bankry Act, 1883, and must be “authorized in writing” to entitle him to question a debtor at a public hearing.

The Relationship

Abstract The extraction of confessions from suspects under torture by security agents is a notorious fact in Nigeria. Ironically, the Constitution of the country guarantees a right to silence, but courts in Nigeria predicate the admissibility of confessions on the common law-based Judges Rules and Evidence Act 2011 without linking it to the constitutionally guaranteed right to silence. This article reviews the legal rules on the admissibility of confessions in Nigeria and contends that without attaching constitutional flavour to the admissibility of confessions, the legislature and the courts in Nigeria unwittingly water the ground for the systemic extraction of confession from suspects in custody in Nigeria. The article suggests that the courts in the country consider the implication of the guarantee of the right to silence in the country’s constitution in the determination of the admissibility of confessions to promote fair trial in criminal cases in the country.

The article provides an analysis of the possibility of separatist formations in Ukraine to refer to the principle of self-determination of peoples as a justification for their activities. The minimum necessary criteria of legal bases for self-determination are considered, among which: the existence of effective connection of the subject of self-determination with a certain territory; the existence of the subject itself, i.e., the people (ethnic group), which claims self-determination; and the recognition by the international community of such a potential entity as the bearer of the right to self-determination. Regarding the connection with the territory, the doctrine of international law and practice recognizes the right to cultural and national self-determination in a particular territory for any ethnic group. This right is limited to the common interests of all the people of the state, which consists in the unconditional preservation of the inviolability and integrity of its territory. As for the existence of the subject of self-determination, the people is recognized as the historical community of people formed in a certain area and have stable features of the language, culture, and mental composition (mentality), as well as aware of their unity and difference from others through conscious self-name. At the same time, diasporas and migrants must be subject to the laws of the country of residence under the right of citizenship or the right of permanent residence. As for the recognition of the subject of self-determination by the international community, it may recognize as the people those who are under colonial rule, occupation by a foreign state, or against whom a policy of racism is pursued. Thus, international law does not protect separatist movements aimed at secession if they do not meet these criteria. This means that separatist formations in Ukraine do not have the right to secession but are terrorist organizations in terms of their methods of activity.

One of factors that negatively influence on an environment is noise. Noise can negatively influence on a health man. Determination of effective measures of noise rotection of workplaces became the aim of our researches. Certainly, that the most more showy measure are the so-called screens. It is significant, it is the most effective entrance of the city. They became the theme of our research. By us were the studied systems of classifications of screens. They are divided depending on such parameters: on the method of action; after a geometrical form; after an outline in a plan; after the method of arranging, on material. Defining advantages or lacks of the two following charts is impossible (id est there is not sense). They are accepted as given. Consideration of frequent is carried out from the source of noise, that it is located in a narrow corridor between an abat-voix and other obstacle. For simplification it is possible to accept the location of source of noise directly on the surface of soil: the point of source of noise is successfully approximated by a location directly on the surface of soil; distance between this surface and very had an actual mestome to the locations, easily yields to the calculation, i always can be a little rather entered in a calculation as an insignificant additional correction. If we consider reflections not from the left, but from the right screen, absolutely adequate formulas can be derived, in which (taking into account the mirror symmetry of geometric construction), the corresponding indexes are simply replaced... At some stage, the multiple reflection stops. This happens when the height of one of the reflection points exaggerates the height of one of the screens. The sound beam has nothing more to reflect, and it enters the space (to the sky). Therefore, when describing each reflection, we provide boundary conditions for its happening. A voice ray falls on a screen, and reflected from a that screen under the same corner q. It is suggested to "delete" a voice ray by us, directing him to sky above an oppositely stand-up screen after the first beating back.
