Sommario/riassunto

For decades Sudipta Kaviraj has worked with and improved upon Marxist and subaltern studies, capturing India's social and political life through its diverse history and culture. While this technique has been widely celebrated in his home country, Kaviraj's essays have remained largely scattered abroad. This collection finally presents his work in one convenient volume and, in doing so, reasserts the brilliance of his approach.As evidenced in these essays, Kaviraj's exceptional strategy



positions Indian politics within the political philosophy of the West and alongside the perspectives of Indian history and indigenous political thought. Studies include the peculiar nature of Indian democracy; the specific aspects of Jawaharlal Nehru's and Indira Gandhi's regimes; political culture in independent India; the construction of colonial power; the relationship between state, society, and discourse; the structure of nationalist discourse; language and identity formation in Indian contexts; the link between development and democracy, or democratic functioning; and the interaction among religion, politics, and modernity in South Asia. Each of these essays explores the place of politics in the social life of modern India and is powered by the idea that Indian politics is plastic, reflecting and shaping the world in which people live.

Sommario/riassunto

In sexual relations, consent makes the difference between pleasure and crime. Yet, due to the impact of personal, social, and cultural conditions on sexual interactions, defining the prerequisites of legally valid consent to sexual acts presents great challenges. This volume collects essays, national reports, and a comparative synopsis authored by experts from eleven jurisdictions. The broad spectrum of contributions provides policymakers and jurists interested in sexual crime with up-to-date information and legal argument. Elisa Hoven and Thomas Weigend are professors of criminal law at the universities of Leipzig and Cologne active in developing criminal policy. They have done extensive research in comparative criminal law. With contributions by Asst.-Prof. Dr. Baris Atladi; Dr. Gian Marco Caletti; Dr. Andrew Dyer, LL.B, LL.M; Prof. Aya Gruber, J.D.; Dr. Lyndon Harris, Barrister; Prof. Dr. Elisa Hoven; Prof. Dr. Wojciech Jasiński; Dr. Karolina Kremens; Prof. Dr. Kai Lindenberg; Dr. Sebastian Mayr; Dr. Hannah Quirk; Dr. Nora Scheidegger; Univ.-Prof. Dr. Kurt Schmoller; Dr. Linnea Wegerstad and Prof. Dr. Thomas Weigend.
