En el presente texto, el autor explica de forma detallada la regulación del derecho de propiedad sobre la tierra y el agua bajo la normativa legal y las decisiones de las cortes norteamericanas. Así, a lo largo del presente artículo, se podrá encontrar una amplia explicación de los problemas generalmente suscitados en torno a ambos derechos desde la perspectiva tanto del Derecho Público como del Derecho Privado, abordando temas relacionados a las servidumbres, posesión y la expropiación. In this article, the author explains in detail the regulation of property rights over land and water under the legal rules and decisions of the United States Courts. For this purpose, Epstein, throughout this article, makes a comprehensive explanation of the issues arising out of these rights from the perspective of the Public and Private Law, touching on topics related to easements, possession and expropriation.

En el presente artículo el autor da a conocer de forma magnífica su perspectiva sobre la naturaleza del precedente vinculante en la tradición jurídica del Civil Law. Para ello realiza un profundo análisis histórico y teórico sobre el nacimiento del precedente vinculante como institución procesal. Siendo el Common Law la cuna del precedente vinculante en su forma originaria, el autor lo coteja con nuestro sistema jurídico haciendo uso del Derecho Comparado. Asimismo enfatiza su crítica sobre los puntos controvertidos, diferenciando al precedente vinculante de los distintos fenómenos procesales que se encuentran en los variados ordenamientos jurídicos. This article provides an excellent description of Taruffo’s perspective on the nature of binding precedent in the juridical tradition of Civil Law. Taruffo provides a detailed historical and theoretical analysis of the roots of the binding precedent as a procedural institution. Since Common Law is the source of the binding precedent in its original form, the author compares it to our juridical system using Comparative Law methodology. At the same time, the author presents a critique of controversial issues, differentiating binding precedent in different procedural phenomenon that can be found in various legal systems.

En el presente artículo, el autor reflexiona sobre el tratamiento que ha efectuado últimamente la jurisprudencia europea, principalmente la italiana, sobre la responsabilidad civil. El autor aborda la figura de la responsabilidad objetiva bajo la perspectiva de que es una categoría jurídica muy discutida en la doctrina civil a lo largo de los últimos tiempos; pero que, a su vez, es una institución acogida muy recientemente por la jurisprudencia. Ello debido, según el autor, a la noción de culpa ligada a la costumbre práctica de los tribunales. Finalmente, Alpa pone énfasis en explicar la dirección en la que está encaminándose la jurisprudencia respecto a este tema. In this article, the author reflects on the treatment that European jurisprudence has given recently to the question of civil responsibility, with an emphasis on Italy. In addition, he analyzes the legal concept of strict liability, which is a juridical category that often has been discussed in civil doctrine in recent years but which, nevertheless, is an institution that has been adopted only very recently by jurisprudence. The reason for this delay is the notion of guilt developed in customary practice of the courts. Finally, Alpa emphasizes the tendencies of current jurisprudential policy on this issue.

Magda Zavala brings us the act of independence and taking of conscience, thanks to which the poetic subject of Tryptych of the Tides risks herself to give that qualitative jump of which Immanuel Kant spoke in order to define the Illustration as the exit from the state of being in the minority of age. Magda Zavala invites to us no longer to continue blindly obeying the hollow rhetoric of words, the intellectual poses of the cultural and personal Pharisees, to maintain subordination to political, religious or cultural submissions above all, concerning the pitfalls of atavistic masculinity and she drive us towards a new understanding between the sexes and of the male/female relationships. In as much “Tryptych”, we will take a key poem from each one of the three book of poems to show the relevance of this poetic proposal

This work analyzes A Debravo's (Or Debravian) text from López-Casanova structuralist theoretical principles with the purpose to outline poem indicators, theme scheme, characterization, construction conventions, and climax structure at the representation level. On the other hand, at the imaginary level, it analyzes pragmatic and lexical semantic features from syntax to tonic words. In this way, this study sets forth an example of a methodological approach to a poem, in which the author outlines a criticism and a transforming vision of Latin America and Costa Rica socio-cultural contexts during the 60s.

In this paper I analyse three diaries which belong to my book of personal diaries, La escritura invisible. Testimonios sobre el diario íntimo (Sendoa 2000), which I collected from 2000 to 2006. These diaries were written by Spanish girls from 1970s to 1990s. Although it would not be exact to generalize, nor jump into into general conclusions since we are dealing with a very wide subject, such as the diaries of adolescents, or their reading or study, we present here some relevant aspects connected with how teenagers keep a diary, what do they write about, and what importance writing a diary has for them in every day life.

Flanerie finds in Enrique Gómez Carrillo and Rubén Darío two of its best examples in Latin American Modernism. However, Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera, Amado Nervo, Julián del Casal, José Martí, José Enrique Rodó and Arturo Ambrogi also produced texts depicting classic flanerie such as watching urban spaces as social theater, creating pintoresque escenarios or cuadros, or focusing on commercial spaces or public festivities. As a decadent, Julian del Casal, represents an aristocratic and dissenchanted perspective, whereas Marti is a clear example of the paradox between acknowledging American progress and the rejection of their moral values, in contradiction against the latino soul.
