Feminist Republicanism

In this chapter it is argued that Mary Wollstonecraft’s political is best characterized as ‘feminist republicanism’. Wollstonecraft’s feminism challenges republicanism from within. The republican movement used the language of rights and liberty in arguments for popular sovereignty and against despotic and aristocratic privilege. Wollstonecraft articulated her feminism within and against this movem

Neo-Roman Liberty in the Philosophy of Human Rights

It is my contention here that Quentin Skinner’s conception of neo-roman liberty as it is articulated in Liberty Before Liberalism serves to establish two normative premises for human rights philosophy. Those premises are, first, that human rights should offer the strongest protection for those persons who are most vulnerable and liable to social and political discrimination and marginalisation. Se

Minoriteterna i minoriteten: Om nationalism, migration och modersmålsundervisning på Åland

Kapitlet fokuserar på den potentiella motsättningen mellan minoriteters rättigheter och universella mänskliga rättigheter. Exemplet är det svenskspråkiga Åland, som idag har ett av världens mest omfattande nationalitetsskydd med snart hundra år på nacken – men det är ett skydd som inte alltid går ihop med nyare konventioner om mänskliga rättigheter. Kapitlet undersöker kritiken från Europarådets r

Konstitutioner och konflikter om mänskliga rättigheter i Thailands moderna politiska historia

Utifrån det moderna Thailands historia problematiseras föreställningen om konstitutionen som en garant för rättigheter. I Thailand har konstitutionen utgjort ett otillräckligt verktyg och ibland rentav ett hinder för att institutionalisera mänskliga rättigheter. Kapitlet åskådliggör hur de mänskliga rättigheternas historia i Thailand är sammanlänkad med en historia om statskupper, auktoritära regi

De Grouchy, Wollstonecraft, and Smith on Sympathy, Inequality, and Rights

This article offers an analysis of Sophie de Grouchy’s Letters on Sympathy [1798]. The focus is on republican implications of her views on sympathy, with comparisons to Adam Smith and Mary Wollstonecraft. Critical attention is paid to claims made on de Grouchy’s behalf that her philosophy is republican and that she offers republican arguments for gender and class equality. These claims are made by

Seascapes of stability and change: the archaeological and ecological potential of the early mesolithic seascapes with examples from Haväng in SE Baltic, Sweden

The sea level low stand period during the Early Mesolithic in SE Baltic (c. 9,500-6,500 BC) has resulted in vast inundated areas. Some of the sites have yielded extensive remains of lagoonal and riverine sediments, as well as areas with trees preserved in situ. Investigations at one of the sites - Haväng in eastern Scania - have resulted in archaeological findings from the entire period. The prese

Global geometry under isotropic Brownian flows

We consider global geometric properties of a codimension one manifold embedded in Euclideanspace, as it evolves under an isotropic and volume preserving Brownian flow of diffeomorphisms.In particular, we obtain expressions describing the expected rate of growth of the Lipschitz-Killing curvatures, or intrinsic volumes, of the manifold under the flow.These results shed new light on some of the intr

Men at work : Real wages from annual and casual labour in southern Sweden 1500–1850

In this paper, we use a brand new dataset to estimate and compare wages for casually and annually hired workers in early modern southern Sweden. We ask whether men in either situation could have supported families on the basis of their earnings. Findings indicate that casual earners would have been able to out-earn annual employees for most of the period 1500–1850, but by the eighteenth century wh

Statistical properties of spherical wavelets systems

We review some spherical wavelets systems and their statistical properties, with a view to applications in Cosmological/Astrophysical data analysis. In particular, we consider the analysis of Gaussian, isotropic random fields, and we focus on the geometric characterization of wavelet fields emerging in band-limited reconstructions. More precisely, we recall how to provide exact expression for Mink
