[pt] Esta tese aborda a temática do direito da mulher à herança, através da análise exegética, social e teológica de Nm 27,1-11 e 36,1-12. A produção exegética recente tem envidado esforços na realização de análises literárias, formais e culturais numa perspectiva diacrônica desses textos, nem sempre aberta para a pesquisa na perspectiva sincrônica e da análise do substrato teológico subjacente às narrativas. A presente pesquisa reconhece esse desiderato na pesquisa e foca na exegese sincrônica e na análise teológica. Em Nm 27,1-11, narra-se o pedido das filhas de Salfaad de participação na herança do pai, após perceberem injustiças e lacunas na legislação vigente, que resultavam na extinção do nome, da memória e do patrimônio familiar. A narrativa destaca o acolhimento dessa reivindicação por YHWH através de uma inovação jurídica. Em Nm 36,1-12, os chefes das famílias, às quais as filhas de Salfaad pertenciam, registram, por sua vez, consequências jurídicas negativas da permissão à herança de mulheres, a saber, a desintegração e perda das posses tribais. Também essa reivindicação é atendida por YHWH mediante exigência do casamento endogâmico. Os dois textos chamam a atenção por registrarem o surgimento de inovações jurídicas a partir das decisões de YHWH que acolhem pleitos por justiça e que alteram práticas consuetudinárias aplicadas em todo o Antigo Oriente Próximo. A abordagem sociológica contemplou uma análise da prática do direito à herança para mulheres nas diversas sociedades do Antigo Oriente Próximo e nos textos bíblicos. Levou à conclusão de que o fator subjacente à permissão jurídica do direito à herança das mulheres era a preservação do patrimônio e garantia da continuidade da descendência agnática. Já a análise teológica resultou na conclusão de que a permissão de YHWH para a herança das mulheres tem como pano de fundo a lógica promessa-cumprimento da terra dada a todos os filhos de Israel e que está teologicamente ancorada nas declarações divinas da igualdade entre mulheres e homens registradas nos relatos da criação, em Gn 1,26-28 e 2,18-23, perspectiva presente em outras narrativas e na legislação do antigo Israel. / [en] This thesis approaches the issue of the woman s right to inheritance, through the exegetical, social and theological analysis of Nm 27,1-11 and 36,1-12. Recent exegetical production has made efforts to carry out literary, formal and cultural analyzes in a diachronic perspective of these texts, not always open to research in the synchronic perspective and the analysis of the theological substrate underlying the narratives.The present research recognizes this research desideratum and focuses on synchronic exegesis and theological analysis. In Num 27,1-11, the request of Salfaad s daughters to share in their father s inheritance is narrated, after realizing injustices and gaps in the current legislation, which resulted in the extinction of the name, memory and family heritage. The narrative highlights the acceptance of this claim by YHWH through a legal innovation. In Num 36:1-12, the heads of the families to which the daughters of Salfaad belonged, in turn, record the negative legal consequences of allowing women to inherit, namely, the disintegration and loss of women tribal possessions. This claim, too, is met by YHWH through the requirement of endogamous marriage. Both texts draw attention for registering the emergence of legal innovations from YHWH s decisions that welcome claims for justice and that change customary practices applied throughout the AOP. The sociological approach included an analysis of the practice of the right to inheritance for women in the different societies of the ANE and in the biblical texts. It led to the conclusion that the underlying factor in the juridical permission of women s right to inheritance was the preservation of the patrimony and guarantee of the continuity of agnatic descent. The theological analysis resulted in the conclusion that YHWH s permission for the inheritance of women has as a theological background the promise of the land given to all Israelites and which is theologically anchored in the divine declarations of equality between women and men recorded in the creation narratives, in Gn 1,26-28 and 2,18-23, perspective present in other narratives and in the legislation of the OT.

After the initial excitement about the Internet as a space outside of governmental control has evaporated and courts in several states have applied national laws to ‘Cyberspace’, there is now a consensus among scholars that regulators have in principle the authority and capacity to regulate the Internet. Nevertheless, the application of the established tools of regulation - legislation and adjudication - to the current challenges to copyright regulation posed by the Internet has proven to be ineffective and produced undesirable side effects. Although market self-regulation has been suggested as a more efficacious approach to regulating the Internet and has proven effective in content regulation and Internet governance, the market has so far been unsuccessful in providing an effective and efficient remedy to the challenges to copyright regulation. The purpose of this thesis is to examine a novel approach to regulation and analyse its benefits and limitations. The novel approach defies the conceptualisation as co- and self-regulation, but introduces the solution from outside the regulated environment through entrepreneurship and innovation, and relies on the forces of the market to become effective. In this thesis, I analyse the regulatory systems implemented by two private organisations, Noank Media and Creative Commons, in China’s reportedly ineffective copyright law environment and find that their market-based and innovative approach to regulation can be understood as a form of social entrepreneurship. Social enterprises have been claimed to deliver social goods more effectively and efficiently than governmental intervention, because they are said to rely on local knowledge, to be driven by the demand of the stakeholders, and to be focused on social value creation. Based on quantitative and qualitative fieldwork with Noank Media’s and Creative Common’s stakeholders in China I analyse to what extent these two enterprises managed to successfully leverage the assets of social entrepreneurship. I conclude that while the novel approach has demonstrated the potential to produce more effective and more efficient regulation, it does not automatically result in Better Regulation. Further efforts are required to ensure participation, transparency, and public accountability, and to avoid regulatory fragmentation.
