Brunetto Latini quoting the 'Siete Partidas'

From "Li livres dou Tresor", I, 1, 6

Et nostre empereres dist el Livre de Loi que

Dicken's Criticism about Chancery

I've managed with Wordle ("a toy for generating ‘word clouds’ from text that you provide") the first chapter of 

C. Dicken's Bleak House to fix a 'word-builded' image of Chancery's ruin and inaction.

This is the  result....'Fog everywhere'. 

Fog  at the core of this visual representation.

"The raw afternoon is rawest, and the dense fog is densest, and the 
muddy streets are muddiest near that leaden-headed old obstruction, 
appropriate ornament for the threshold of a leaden-headed old 
corporation, Temple Bar. And hard by Temple Bar, in Lincoln's Inn Hall, at the very heart of the fog, sits the Lord High Chancellor. Never can there come fog too thick, never can there come mud and 
mire too deep, to assort with the groping and floundering condition 
which this High Court of Chancery, most pestilent of hoary sinners, 
holds this day in the sight of heaven and earth'.

My paper at "Bioethics, Biolaw and Literature" Conference (Verona, may 2009)

At the Conference I have presented a paper entitled "Gollum's Sacredness and the Geopolitics of the Self. Reframing Tolkien's Normative World".

Copying its text into Wordle (“a toy for generating ‘word clouds’ from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.”), I obtain the following result. 

The graphic interpretation of my thought is astonishing!!!

Enjoying with words. An intellectual experiment

I've copied the text of one of my essays into Wordle ("a toy for generating ‘word clouds’ from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.”). This is the result!

A New Perspective on Legal Studies

Understanding Law calls us to unveil the structural link between space and order, borders and jurisdictions, thresholds and identity.
