Free speech beyond words : the surprising reach of the First Amendment / by Tushnet, Mark,1945-author.; Chen, Alan,author.(CARDINAL)402328; Blocher, Joseph,author.(CARDINAL)598446;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 237-253) and index.Introduction -- Instrumental music and the First Amendment -- Art and the First Amendment -- Nonsense and the freedom of speech: what meaning means for the First Amendment -- Going further: additional problems and concluding thoughts"The Supreme Court has unanimously held that Jackson Pollock's paintings, Arnold Schöenberg's music, and Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky" are "unquestionably shielded" by the First Amendment. Nonrepresentational art, instrumental music, and nonsense: all receive constitutional coverage under an amendment protecting "the freedom of speech," even though none involves what we typically think of as speechthe use of words to convey meaning. As a legal matter, the Court's conclusion is clearly correct, but its premises are murky, and they raise difficult questions about the possibilities and limitations of law and expression. Nonrepresentational art, instrumental music, and nonsense do not employ language in any traditional sense, and sometimes do not even involve the transmission of articulable ideas. How, then, can they be treated as "speech" for constitutional purposes? What does the difficulty of that question suggest for First Amendment law and theory? And can law resolve such inquiries without relying on aesthetics, ethics, and philosophy? Comprehensive and compelling, this book represents a sustained effort to account, constitutionally, for these modes of "speech." While it is firmly centered in debates about First Amendment issues, it addresses them in a novel way, using subject matter that is uniquely well suited to the task, and whose constitutional salience has been under-explored. Drawing on existing legal doctrine, aesthetics, and analytical philosophy, three celebrated law scholars show us how and why speech beyond words should be fundamental to our understanding of the First Amendment." -- Publisher's website

Free and equal : a manifesto for a just society / by Chandler, Daniel(Economist),author.(CARDINAL)889123;
Includes bibliographical references and index.What's fair? -- A new social contract -- Rawls and his critics -- Freedom -- Democracy -- Equality of opportunity -- Shared prosperity -- Workplace democracy."Imagine: You are designing a society, but you don't know who you'll be within it--rich or poor, man or woman, gay or straight. What would you want that society to look like? This is the revolutionary thought experiment proposed by the twentieth century's greatest political philosopher, John Rawls. As economist and philosopher Daniel Chandler argues in this hugely ambitious and exhilarating manifesto, it is by rediscovering Rawls that we can find a way out of the escalating crises that are devastating our world today. Taking Rawls's humane and egalitarian liberalism as his starting point, Chandler builds a powerful case for a new progressive agenda that would fundamentally reshape our societies for the better. He shows how we can protect free speech and transcend the culture wars; get money out of politics; and create an economy where everyone has the chance to fulfill their potential, where prosperity is widely shared, and which operates within the limits of our finite planet. This is a book brimming with hope and possibility--a galvanizing alternative to the cynicism that pervades our politics. Free and Equal has the potential to offer a touchstone for a modern, egalitarian liberalism for many years to come, cementing Rawls's place in political discourse, and firmly establishing Chandler as a vital new voice for our time."--
