Merima Bruncevic - Böcker

AI och digitalisering har en stor faktisk regleringsmakt. I förening med teknikens kommersiella potential har den blivit en allvarlig konkurrent till rättens formella regleringsmakt. I den här boken kopplas diskussionen om enstaka teknologiska lösningar till rättens centrala begrepp och institutioner. Hur kommer rätten som sådan att samverka med AI och digitalisering - eller kommer den rentav att motverka dem? Juridiken förändras just nu utifrån - poängen med denna bok är att vara ett steg på vägen att förändra den inifrån och att därmed äga själva processen. AI, digitalisering och rätten ger dig verktyg att tänka klarare om AI- teknikens potentiella återverkningar på rättens olika delar. Boken vänder sig i första hand till studenter på landets juristutbildningar, men är också skriven så att läsare med olika bakgrund och kunskapsnivåer kan tillgodogöra sig innehållet.

The concept of the cultural commons has become increasingly important for legal studies. Within this field, however, it is a contested concept: at once presented as a sphere for creativity, democratic access and freedom of speech, but one that denies property rights and misappropriates the public domain. In this book, Merima Bruncevic takes up the cultural commons not merely as an abstract notion, but in its connection to physical spaces such as museums and libraries. A legal cultural commons can, she argues, be envisioned as a lawscape that can quite literally be entered and engaged with. Focusing largely on art in the context of the copyright regime, but also addressing a number of cultural heritage issues, the book draws on the work of Deleuze and Guattari in order to examine the realm of the commons as a potential space for overcoming the dichotomy between the owner and the consumer of culture. Challenging this dichotomy, it is the productive and creative potential of law itself that is elicited through the book’s approach to the commons as the empirical basis for a new legal framework, which is able to accommodate a multitude of interests and values.

There is a vast body of international and national law that regulates cultural heritage. However, the current regulation remains quite blind to the so called "transnational heritage". This is heritage where there is no community recognized in law that it can be directly attributed to and that can be responsible for its safekeeping and preservation. It can also be items of heritage where the claim of ownership is disputed between two or more peoples or communities. Transnational heritage challenges the idea of monolithic, mono-cultural, ethno-national states. There are a number of examples of such cultural heritage, for instance the Buddhist Bamiyan statutes in Afghanistan, Palmyra in Syria, the Jewish heritage of Iraq, or various items that are currently housed in large, often Western, museums, as a result of colonial practices. This book explores the regulation of transnational heritage. By discussing many cases of transnational heritage and the problems that arise due to the lack of regulation the book analyses the manifestations of memories and constructions of communities through heritage. It focuses particularly on the concept of community. How are communities constructed in cultural heritage law and what falls outside of the definitions of community? The book underlines that the issues surrounding transnational heritage involve more than a communal right to culture. It is argued that transnational heritage also directly affects wider matters of law such as citizenship, human rights, sovereignty, as well as the movement of people and cultural goods.
