Culture and Legal Culture: A Semiotic Approach

de Carvalho, Evandro Menezes

Pages: 3 –12

[The more individuals in a community interact, the more there is a common perception about things and facts, which gain an own signification. Thus, the objectiveness of physical reality is covered by semiosis, that is, by the process of producing signs. Signs therefore come to represent the...

Legal Culture as a System of Signification

de Carvalho, Evandro Menezes

Pages: 13 –22

[Investigating the system of signs of a legal culture means studying the words and phrases, – and their respective content –, that have a particular meaning associated to the world of the law. From a macro-semiotic standpoint of a legal culture, these signs can include the traffic signs, gesture,...

Legal Culture as Communication

de Carvalho, Evandro Menezes

Pages: 23 –33

[In the previous chapter, we saw that vocabulary does not suffice to determine the features of a discourse in a semiotic analysis of legal culture. We must therefore broaden our scope of analysis to include the context of vocabulary in order to find our object of study within legal discourse....

Diplomatic Discourse

de Carvalho, Evandro Menezes

Pages: 37 –56

[Diplomatic language does not only involve verbal manifestations, but also a series of non-verbal signs used by diplomats and government representatives to communicate and convey messages to their respective foreign interlocutors. This chapter is concerned with diplomatic discourse in its...

Legal-Diplomatic Discourse

de Carvalho, Evandro Menezes

Pages: 57 –82

[Legal national cultures have an own concept of “law”, and this has repercussions in the way each State conceives, construes, and applies international law. After examining some of these different perspectives, we will discuss how legal-diplomatic discourse is structured in the midst of the...

The Power of Legal-Diplomatic Discourse

de Carvalho, Evandro Menezes

Pages: 83 –102

[Discussing the power of the legal discourse of international conventions leads us to a debate on the very nature of international law. Despite not intending to exhaust this topic, we will attempt to point out some relevant criteria in favor of the discourse of international law and against the...

From GATT to the WTO: Regulating International Trade

de Carvalho, Evandro Menezes

Pages: 107 –116

[The circumstances of discourse concern many semiotic systems (not necessarily linguistic) that are outside the text and that surround the sender at the moment the discourse is produced. These circumstances are relevant insofar as they supply the information that supports the interpreter in the...

The WTO Dispute Settlement System and the Influence of the Decision-Making Instances of the Dispute Settlement Body

de Carvalho, Evandro Menezes

Pages: 117 –126

[The WTO is characterized by combining diplomatic control, which is exercised by the higher bodies, and legal control, which is undertaken by the dispute settlement system of the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB). However, legal control has prevailed in the decision-making process when compared to...

The Choice of Meaning in Discourse

de Carvalho, Evandro Menezes

Pages: 129 –144

[In order to extract the content of an expression, another expression must be used, which in turn carries another content that can be manifested as another expression, thus establishing a linking chain of signifiers. As long as the content of an expression is possible of being manifested through...

The Authors of Legal-Diplomatic Discourse: Interpreters and Intentions

de Carvalho, Evandro Menezes

Pages: 145 –160

[The preceding chapter discussed the concept of sign and examined the codification and decodification process of text in order to point out the underlying structural conditions for the interpretive act. We have seen that text interpretation can, due to the chain of interpretants, lead us to an...
