4. 2. The Ambiguities of Recognition : Young Queer Sexualities in Contemporary India

   Author : Maria Tonini; Genusvetenskapliga institutionen; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Recognition; Queer; LGBTQ; gender-studies; Sexuality; India; Youth;

   Abstract : What does recognition mean for people whose sexuality has for a long time been criminalised? Over the last years, the recognition of India’s queers has been the focus of numerous contestations as a result of the complex developments around Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which criminalises ‘carnal acts against the order of nature’. The Section had been partially repealed in 2009 by the Delhi High Court, only to be reinstated in full by the Supreme Court at the end of 2013. READ MORE

5. 3. Why Grundnorm? A Treatise on the Implications of Kelsen's Doctrine

   Author : Uta Bindreiter; Juridiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; recognition; Pure Theory; presupposition; precedence; norm hierarchy; norm conflict; membership; legal ‘ought’ ; Grundnorm; direct applicability; Basic norm; bindingness; validity.; Philosophy of law; theory of law; Rättsfilosofi; rättsteori;

   Abstract : The treatise is concerned with the source-—the “Grund”--of the bindingness of law. I contend, first, that the “presupposition” of the basic norm, on a certain reading of Kelsen’s doctrine, can be understood as constituting a normative source of positive law, and, secondly, that this reading of Kelsen admits of addressing the issue of the (formal) legitimacy of supra-national and “directly applicable” rules and other norms.
