It is the first doctoral thesis about Animal Law in Brazil, presented and defended by the author in 2000 in the Post-Graduate Law Program at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, under the guidance of Prof. Arthur Diniz. Edna Cardozo Dias is one of the pioneers in Animal Law in Brazil, having dedicated all her career to public advocacy, animal rights activism, and to teaching Environmental Law in graduate and post-graduate degrees in Belo Horizonte. Among the positions she has held we can highlight her being the Coordinator of Defense of Animals in the county of Belo Horizonte, Solicitor in the county of Ouro Preto, having also worked in the Chamber of Deputies and in the Secretary of Science & Technology and of Environment in the state of Minas Gerais. When talking about the author, we cannot forget her work in the third sector as the president and founder of the League for the Prevention of Cruelty Against Animals (founded in 1983), her performance as a representative of the NGOs from the southeast region in the Environmental National Council (CONAMA) (an advisory and deliberative agency of the National System for the Environment in Brazil), as well as her participation in the writing of a protective legislation for animals in Brazil. It is also important to enhance the active participation of Prof. Dias in the Constitutional Assembly of 1987, as a representative of the animal rights movement of the state of Minas Gerais, in the writing of the chapter regarding the environment on the Constitution of 1988. In fact, during the Assembly of 1987, Deputy Fábio Feldman designated a representative from each state to make the defense of the articles within the chapter on the environment that were being debated in the Assembly, and it fell on Prof. Dias, then president of the League for the Prevention of Cruelty Against Animals (LPCA), to participate in the elaboration of Article 225, §1º, VII, which happened in the Auditorium Nereu Ramos, in Brasilia, on the 5th of June of 1987, before the rapporteur of the Assembly, Senator Bernardo Cabral.

  • Biodiversity and Intellectual Property Rights: Can the Two Co-Exist?
    Biodiversity and Intellectual Property Rights: Can the Two Co-Exist? Ashish Kothari1 R.V. Anuradha2 Cites as: 2(2) JOURNAL OF INT’L WILDLIFE L & POL’Y (1999) Keywords: Biodiversity; intellectual property rights; Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights Agreement, World Trade Organization; World Intellectual Property Organization; genetic resources. 1. Introduction The 1990s has been characterized by contentious debate about how to reconcile the protection of biodiversity and intellectual property rights. Two international treaties, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD),3 and the Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) agreement4 of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) have significant implications for the nexus of intellectual property rights (IPRs), biodiversity and associated knowledge systems. The CBD requires parties to safeguard biodiversity and the traditions and knowledge of those indigenous and other local communities associated with this biodiversity, and lays down the basic elements for access to biodiversity resources and associated knowledge systems. The TRIPs Agreement obliges party states to modify their national IPR regimes to meet much-enhanced international standards, which could have significant implications for biodiversity and the associated knowledge systems. In addition, the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) and other international institutions are becoming increasingly active on the subject. The singular advantage that the WTO process has for ensuring compliance arises from the fact

  • Porto Alegre, 1980. a Capital Dos Gaúchos Amanhece Fria E
    Porto Alegre, 1980. A capital dos gaúchos amanhece fria e ensolarada. As ruas estão tomadas por um grande contingente de militares e policiais, pessoas indo e vindo, outras acomodando-se em suas janelas. Mulheres, homens, crianças, padres, freiras, devotos de todas as ordens sociais, políticas, econômicas e culturais caminham em busca de um lugar na calçada para vê-lo passar. Um helicóptero sobrevoa o céu, limpo e extremamente azul, repleto de balões coloridos que carregam pequenos cartazes da Zero Hora com a frase: “Bem-Vindo João Paulo”. Em toda a extensão da Farrapos1 é possível ouvir os fiéis cantando “Tá chegando a hora. A noite já vem raiando, meu bem, e o Papa vem chegando agora”. Não demorou muito até o papa móvel aparecer: João Paulo II acena, sorri e abençoa os porto- alegrenses ao passar pelas ruas da cidade desde o Aeroporto Salgado Filho até a Praça da Matriz. O público vibra com suas pequeninas bandeirinhas brancas. Algumas pessoas filmam essa célebre visita com suas câmeras filmadoras portáteis, enquanto outras, registram esse momento apenas em suas memórias através de uma luneta. A multidão segue o papa móvel em romaria até a Praça da Matriz, onde João Paulo II é recebido com entusiasmo pelos jovens da capital: “Ucho, ucho, ucho! O Papa é gaúcho!”. No dia seguinte, em frente ao Gigantinho, diversos fiéis e vocacionados aguardam para um encontro com o Papa. Fazem parte deste público muitos membros de entidades tradicionalistas gaúchas 1 Avenida Farrapos: uma das principais vias da cidade de Porto Alegre/RS. Inaugurada nos anos 1940 na gestão do Sr.

  • Dossier : Questions D'éthique Animale
    Ethica Volume 22, No 1 (Printemps 2018) Liminaire Dossier : Questions d’éthique animale Coordonné par François Jaquet et Angela Martin1 La question animale : une perspective pluridisciplinaire Les philosophes se sont toujours intéressés au statut moral des animaux non humains. Dans l’Antiquité déjà, Aristote, les Épicuriens et les Stoïciens soutenaient que les bêtes n’étaient pas concernées par la justice parce que dépourvues de raison, à quoi Porphyre (1979) et Plutarque (2002) rétorquaient que le respect leur était dû en vertu de leur seule sensibilité2. Quelques siècles plus tard, des thèses similaires furent défendues notamment par René Descartes (1973) et Emmanuel Kant (1986, 1997), d’une part, et par Michel de Montaigne (1962), Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1973) et Jeremy Bentham (1907), de l’autre. Ce n’est pourtant qu’à la fin du XXe siècle que l’éthique animale s’est constituée comme discipline philosophique à part entière – plus précisément en 1975, année de publication de l’ouvrage fondateur Animal Liberation, du philosophe australien Peter Singer. Dans le chapitre premier de La Libération animale, où il expose la théorie qu’il applique par la suite à des pratiques concrètes, Singer affirme que « tous les animaux sont égaux », une thèse souvent mal comprise. Car l’affirmation égalitariste n’est pas descriptive : il ne s’agit en aucun cas de prétendre que les animaux possèdent les mêmes capacités que leurs cousins humains. Elle est normative : les animaux sont nos égaux en ce sens que nous devons à leurs intérêts la même considération que nous devons aux intérêts similaires de nos congénères. Les animaux – la plupart de ceux que nous exploitons du moins – sont sentients, c’est-à-dire capables de ressentir des choses agréables ou désagréables.

  • Magic in Private and Public Lives of the Ancient Romans
    COLLECTANEA PHILOLOGICA XXIII, 2020: 53–72 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1733-0319.23.04 Idaliana KACZOR Uniwersytet Łódzki MAGIC IN PRIVATE AND PUBLIC LIVES OF THE ANCIENT ROMANS The Romans practiced magic in their private and public life. Besides magical practices against the property and lives of people, the Romans also used generally known and used protective and healing magic. Sometimes magical practices were used in official religious ceremonies for the safety of the civil and sacral community of the Romans. Keywords: ancient magic practice, homeopathic magic, black magic, ancient Roman religion, Roman religious festivals MAGIE IM PRIVATEN UND ÖFFENTLICHEN LEBEN DER ALTEN RÖMER Die Römer praktizierten Magie in ihrem privaten und öffentlichen Leben. Neben magische Praktik- en gegen das Eigentum und das Leben von Menschen, verwendeten die Römer auch allgemein bekannte und verwendete Schutz- und Heilmagie. Manchmal wurden magische Praktiken in offiziellen religiösen Zeremonien zur Sicherheit der bürgerlichen und sakralen Gemeinschaft der Römer angewendet. Schlüsselwörter: alte magische Praxis, homöopathische Magie, schwarze Magie, alte römi- sche Religion, Römische religiöse Feste Magic, despite our sustained efforts at defining this term, remains a slippery and obscure concept. It is uncertain how magic has been understood and practised in differ- ent cultural contexts and what the difference is (if any) between magical and religious praxis. Similarly, no satisfactory and all-encompassing definition of ‘magic’ exists. It appears that no singular concept of ‘magic’ has ever existed: instead, this polyvalent notion emerged at the crossroads of local custom, religious praxis, superstition, and politics of the day. Individual scholars of magic, positioning themselves as ostensi- bly objective observers (an etic perspective), mostly defined magic in opposition to religion and overemphasised intercultural parallels over differences1.

  • The Eternal Fire of Vesta
    2016 Ian McElroy All Rights Reserved THE ETERNAL FIRE OF VESTA Roman Cultural Identity and the Legitimacy of Augustus By Ian McElroy A thesis submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Classics Written under the direction of Dr. Serena Connolly And approved by ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS The Eternal Fire of Vesta: Roman Cultural Identity and the Legitimacy of Augustus By Ian McElroy Thesis Director: Dr. Serena Connolly Vesta and the Vestal Virgins represented the very core of Roman cultural identity, and Augustus positioned his public image beside them to augment his political legitimacy. Through analysis of material culture, historiography, and poetry that originated during the principate of Augustus, it becomes clear that each of these sources of evidence contributes to the public image projected by the leader whom Ronald Syme considered to be the first Roman emperor. The Ara Pacis Augustae and the Res Gestae Divi Augustae embody the legacy the Emperor wished to establish, and each of these cultural works contain significant references to the Vestal Virgins. The study of history Livy undertook also emphasized the pathetic plight of Rhea Silvia as she was compelled to become a Vestal. Livy and his contemporary Dionysius of Halicarnassus explored the foundation of the Vestal Order and each writer had his own explanation about how Numa founded it. The Roman poets Virgil, Horace, Ovid, and Tibullus incorporated Vesta and the Vestals into their work in a way that offers further proof of the way Augustus insinuated himself into the fabric of Roman cultural identity by associating his public image with these honored priestesses.
