  Art and money - financing artistic work and socio-aesthetic issues

  Le mécénat, au sens large, ses enjeux et influences, souffre d’un manque d’études empiriques bien qu’il soit essentiel à la production d’œuvres aujourd’hui. Sans mécénat, qu’il soit institution ou individu, étatique ou non, la création contemporaine ne bénéficierait pas de la place qu’elle occupe dans nos sociétés contemporaines. Le financement demande de la mobilité ; les créateurs n’ont de cesse de passer d’un contexte institutionnel à un autre afin de décrocher les financements nécessaires à leurs projets.

  Social Rights and Democracy

  Prim@ Facie, Vol 15, No 29 (2016)

  We are especially interested in manuscripts on social rights and democracy. Our intent is to prepare a set of discussions on how democracies promote social rights today, i.e., to what extent social movements, legal institutions, parliaments and executive power are able to find solutions to the challenges of democracies today? Have, for example, affirmative action, housing and health care programs, and even direct financial assistance to the poor actually reduced inequality? In addition, what are the most effective solutions for poverty? Are courts the best way to ensure social rights today? We are also interested in papers that address the costs of social programs. These are some of the possibilities, but many other questions may be brought to the table. We encourage submissions based on historical approaches carried out by jurists, political scientists, historians, sociologists, and other professionals in fields that have particular focus on legal problems.
