Though initially created for younger audiences, superhero characters have evolved over the years, becoming complex figures that appeal to more sophisticated readers.

What is the relationship between creativity, cultural heritage institutions and copyright? Who owns culture and cultural heritage? The digital age has expanded the horizon of creative possibilities for artists and cultural institutions – what is the impact on legal regimes that were constructed for an analogue world? What are the tensions between the safeguarding of cultural heritage and the dissemination of knowledge about culture? Inspired by a three year research project involving leading European universities, this book explores the relationship between copyright and intellectual property, creativity and innovation, and cultural heritage institutions. Its contributors are scholars from both the humanities and the social sciences – from cultural studies to law – as well as cultural practitioners and representatives from cultural heritage institutions. They all share an interest in the contribution of intellectual property to the role of cultural institutions in making culture accessible and encouraging new creativity.

Guns and Values


Free Download Guns and Values: Individualism in the American Gun Debate
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031371739 | 328 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 2 MB
The American gun control debate is best understood as a battle in a war over the influence of individualism on American culture, politics, and policy. This book demonstrates that the gun debate is fundamentally about values. Specifically, it is about what we value most: private rights, or the public good. This helps explain why the technical, empirical, or legalistic arguments we hear aren’t persuasive. A review of scholarly literature on both the politics of gun control and American political culture finds an American bias toward an individualism that embraces personal rights. We argue that this bias stacks the deck against gun control. Interviews we conducted with activists show that support for, or opposition to, gun control is linked to concern for the public, or private, good. Finally, we trace the federal gun control debate in Washington from the 1960s to 2010s to show the ebbs and flows of individualism’s influence.

THE VALUES OF SOCIETY IN FUNCTIONING AND EVOLUTION The Power of Love and Money

English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B5HDXSN8 | 129 pages | EPUB | 0.17 Mb
Money therefore is a powerful instrument. It is either you control money or money controls you. Money does not control you directly. Money is critical and important for survival.Our society has put money, technology and interests at the center of social, scientific and technical reflection, but has rejected the original questions in the direction of private life, in the direction of moral discourse; placed in a public square, they make people squeak or smile, two equivalent ways to get rid of them. Then what scientist would dare to look at it, impose immersion in economics, history, politics, law, sacred and profane? What scholar would dare to shed light on his intimate beliefs without fear of encountering the indulgences of his peers?

English | ISBN: 0231187149 | 2019 | 296 pages | AZW3 | 655 KB
The modern notion of tolerance―the welcoming of diversity as a force for the common good―emerged in the Enlightenment in the wake of centuries of religious wars. First elaborated by philosophers such as John Locke and Voltaire, religious tolerance gradually gained ground in Europe and North America. But with the resurgence of fanaticism and terrorism, religious tolerance is increasingly being challenged by frightened publics.
