In Colombia, from the 1991 Constitution, the Constitutional Court has played an important role in the development of law, stating further conversion of Colombia in a " neoconstitucionalista", thus confirming that the right is of the judges and not legislators, the performances of the high courts called " closure members " on some occasions have become positive legislators, and beyond computers of public policies, functions and constitutional theory pertaining to other branches of the executive public power and legislative different to which they belong as is the judiciary. That condition where the legislative power is the one who can legitimately issue laws, has changed, now the judicial precedent issued by any of the high courts also have force of law erga omnes, requiring citizens without this provision be included in a standard, and that constitutionally has the legitimacy and acceptance by the citizens even more the case in the protection of rights regarding the conditions of human dignity is concerned. In addition, in the case of the constitutional court, he has not only played as a positive legislator, even a positive constituent, giving the category of fundamental rights positively are not, or interpreting the law in the constitutional sense in favor of recognition of fundamental rights and invading the purview of the legislature, even to create some legal uncertainty. The court also has played the role corresponding to executive, setting public policy as it is the case of decisions which declares unconstitutional state of affairs and ordering the executive take direction public policies aiming at the protection of fundamental rights. This time the study of the role of judge as positive legislator in recognizing social and cultural rights as fundamental rights and legitimacy of the judge to invade the sphere of legislative power is made.

Les infantes ont souvent dû assumer une charge hautement exposée – la régence – à laquelle elles n'accédaient qu'en tant qu'ultime recours, quoi qu'il fût généralement envisagé comme un devoir potentiel dès leur naissance.Le cas de Jeanne d'Autriche, fille de Charles Quint, fournit un exemple significatif de situations de ce genre, puisqu’elle dut s'acquitter de cette haute charge politique en Espagne, entre 1555 et 1559.Partant d'une analyse de la figure historique qui nous est parvenue de cette infante, nous nous sommes interrogés sur la dimension de l'apport qu'a constitué son action de régente à la construction de son personnage.Une fois rappelées les hésitations qui ont procédé au choix de l'infante Jeanne, émanation de deux volontés également puissantes et, paradoxalement, également souveraines, – celle de l'empereur et celle du prince Philippe – nous avons dessiné les circonstances dans lesquelles se trouvent imbriquées la situation de l'infante, celle de l'empereur, celle du régent en titre – le prince Philippe – et celle de l'espace péninsulaire.La personnalité de Jeanne d'Autriche est évoquée finalement à partir de détails biographiques choisis et de représentations, pour mesurer ses apports à la dimension du personnage historique tel que nous sommes en mesure de le percevoir.

After discussing the meaning of the word politics, this paper shows that there are four possible approaches to the issue of the relationships between language, discourse and politics: a) the intrinsic political nature of language; b) the relations of power between discourses and their political dimension; c) the relations of power between languages and the political dimension of their usage and; d) linguistic policies. This paper addresses only the first two of these items. Languages have an intrinsically political nature because they subject their speakers to their order. The acts of silencing operationalized in discourse manifest a relation of power. The spread of discourses in the social space is also subject to the order of power. The use of language may be the space of pertinence, but is also that of exclusion, separation and even the elimination of the other. Therefore, language is not a neutral communication tool, but it is permeated by politics, by power. Because of the dislocations that it produces, literature is a form of swindling language, unveiling the powers that are imprinted on it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
