Conclusions: Constitutional Jurists as Political Theorists -- $tCases Cited -- $tBibliography -- $tIndex 330 $aThe Judge as Political Theorist examines opinions by constitutional courts in liberal democracies to better understand the logic and nature of constitutional review. David Robertson argues that the constitutional judge's role is nothing like that of the legislator or chief executive, or even the ordinary judge. Rather, constitutional judges spell out to society the implications--on the ground--of the moral and practical commitments embodied in the nation's constitution. Constitutional review, in other words, is a form of applied political theory. Robertson takes an in-depth look at constitutional decision making in Germany, France, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Canada, and South Africa, with comparisons throughout to the United States, where constitutional review originated. He also tackles perhaps the most vexing problem in constitutional law today--how and when to limit the rights of citizens in order to govern. As traditional institutions of moral authority have lost power, constitutional judges have stepped into the breach, radically altering traditional understandings of what courts can and should do. Robertson demonstrates how constitutions are more than mere founding documents laying down the law of the land, but increasingly have become statements of the values and principles a society seeks to embody. Constitutional judges, in turn, see it as their mission to transform those values into political practice and push for state and society to live up to their ideals. 606 $aJudicial review 606 $aPolitical questions and judicial power 606 $aConstitutional courts 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJudicial review. 615 0$aPolitical questions and judicial power. 615 0$aConstitutional courts. 676 $a347/.012 700 $aRobertson$b David$f1946-$0850442 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457134903321 996 $aThe judge as political theorist$92473076 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03954nam 2200709Ia 450 001 9910791459903321 005 20230207232659.0 010 $a1-280-65729-4 010 $a9786613634221 010 $a0-231-51840-4 024 7 $a10.7312/gobl14670 035 $a(CKB)2560000000050178 035 $a(EBL)908693 035 $a(OCoLC)826476338 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000482928 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12177249 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000482928 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10527182 035 $a(PQKB)10821463 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC908693 035 $a(DE-B1597)458891 035 $a(OCoLC)744775079 035 $a(OCoLC)750192913 035 $a(OCoLC)979753822 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780231518406 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL908693 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10419481 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL363422 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000050178 100 $a20091221d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aBeautiful circuits$b[electronic resource] $emodernism and the mediated life /$fMark Goble 210 $aNew York $cColumbia University Press$d2010 215 $a1 online resource (391 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-231-14670-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tContents -- $tIllustrations -- $tAcknowledgments -- $tIntroduction: "Communications Now Are Love" -- $tPart One: Communications -- $t1.

Scott Fitzgerald, Ralph Ellison, Richard Wright, James Agee, and William Carlos Williams, alongside film, painting, music, and popular culture, Mark Goble explores the development of American modernism as it was shaped by its response to technology and an attempt to change how literature itself could communicate.Goble's original readings reinterpret the aesthetics of modernism in the early twentieth century, when new modes of communication made the experience of technology an occasion for profound experimentation and reflection. He follows the assimilation of such "old" media technologies as the telegraph, telephone, and phonograph and their role in inspiring fantasies of connection, which informed a commitment to the materiality of artistic mediums. Describing how relationships made possible by technology became more powerfully experienced with technology, Goble explores a modernist fetish for media that shows no signs of abating. The "mediated life" puts technology into communication with a series of shifts in how Americans conceive the mechanics and meanings of their connections to one another, and therefore to the world and to their own modernity. 606 $aMass media and literature$zUnited States 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMass media and culture$zUnited States 606 $aInterpersonal communication$xTechnological innovations$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aSocial interaction$xTechnological innovations$zUnited States 615 0$aMass media and literature 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMass media and culture 615 0$aInterpersonal communication$xTechnological innovations$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSocial interaction$xTechnological innovations 676 $a302.230973 700 $aGoble$b Mark$01484697 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791459903321 996 $aBeautiful circuits$93703478 997 $aUNINA
