In the process of determining who should be granted refugee status, discretionary authority appeared to be intimately connected to the ability to shape and settle interpretations of country information through a process of uncertainty absorption, which entailed that caseworkers extracted a set of clear-cut conclusions from complex and ambiguous information. Once caseworkers had settled the interpretations, uncertainties receded into the background, reducing doubts about the outcome. The opposite process was also observed, namely uncertainty expansion, which opened up for doubt and discretionary deliberation. In the literature on discretion and street-level bureaucracy, the relationship between uncertainty, doubt and discretion has received limited attention. Given the findings from this study, both uncertainty absorption and uncertainty expansion can be considered important elements in the exercise of discretion within street-level bureaucracies.","PeriodicalId":42994,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge International Law Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"126-148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147910858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the time of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), theatre companies exercised a kind of collective management over play texts (while the Stationers' Company controlled many of those same texts in print). Individual playwrights were not viewed as authors in the modern sense, and were often quite far removed from the performance process. Typically, they did not receive performance or print royalties. The position of the individual dramatist grew in esteem during the 17th century, especially post-Restoration (1660). With the Statute of Anne 1710, the author of the play text was centred as right-holder for the first time. During the 18th and 19th centuries, playwrights negotiated copyright licences and assignments via contract with individual theatre managers, who began to exercise strong powers within theatre. By the time the 20th century began, the idea of collective management of theatrical licensing had taken hold, and it largely remains in place today.","PeriodicalId":42994,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge International Law Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"22-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147920131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to transhumanist thinkers, transhumanism is the logical extension of humanism. They stress that their school of thought, like humanism, presupposes a rather utopian account of the human based on which individual choice and freedom are to be pursued and protected. For them, human enhancement is not only compatible with, but even commanded by, human rights. Based on an analysis of the utopianism involved in humanism and transhumanism, I argue that this position only holds superficially. Upon closer examination, the transhumanist's quest for techno-utopia, even if he uses human rights as a starting point, is likely to pave the way for a world that can hardly be viewed as utopian according to humanist standards. To come to that conclusion, Van Beers offers a comparison between humanism and transhumanism through the lens of Plessner's first and third fundamental law of anthropology: the law that humans are artificial by nature and the law of the utopian standpoint.","PeriodicalId":42994,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge International Law Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"246-266"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.elgaronline.com/downloadpdf/book/9781803921402/book-part-9781803921402-21.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147883235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
