Sommario/riassunto

In Federalism and Subsidiarity, a distinguished interdisciplinary group of scholars in political science, law, and philosophy address the application and interaction of the concept of federalism within law and government. What are the best justifications for and conceptions of federalism? What are the most useful criteria for deciding what powers



should be allocated to national governments and what powers reserved to state or provincial governments? What are the implications of the principle of subsidiarity for such questions? What should be the constitutional standing of cities in federations? Do we need to “remap” federalism to reckon with the emergence of translocal and transnational organizations with porous boundaries that are not reflected in traditional jurisdictional conceptions? Examining these questions and more, this latest installation in the NOMOS series sheds new light on the allocation of power within federations.

Sommario/riassunto

Este libro reúne los trabajos de arqueólogos, antropólogos, historiadores, médicos y etnólogos que intercambiaron experiencias y divulgaron sus avances técnicos y metodológicos sobre la concepción y representación del cuerpo en la ideología de la muerte, el tratamiento del cuerpo, la problemática y metodología, el cuerpo humano en los ritos funerarios y el cuerpo en los ritos extra funerarios.  La presente



obra integra algunos de los trabajos presentados en el Primer Simposio Internacional "El Cuerpo Humano y su Tratamiento Mortuorio", celebrado el 25 y 26 de enero de 1995 en la ciudad de México y organizado por el Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, el Centro de Estudios de México y Centroamérica de la Embajada de Francia (CEMCA), la Embajada de la República Federal de Alemania y la Empresa Funeraria Gayosso.   Asimismo, se prepararon diversos materiales, pues los estudios abarcaban desde la Prehistoria europea hasta la América de nuestros días, organizados en cuatro mesas de debate:  1) La concepción y representación del cuerpo humano en la ideología de la muerte,  2) El tratamiento del cuerpo: problemática y metodología,  3) El cuerpo humano en los ritos funerarios, y  4) El cuerpo en los ritos "extrafunerarios".
