“On the Margins: Steady Sellers and the Problem of Inequality in Nineteenth-Century America,” reimagines the trans-Atlantic history of the novel by attending to the importance of cheaply printed canonical books. I demonstrate that some of the most lasting “steady sellers” in literary history—John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress, Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, Samuel Richardson’s Pamela, and Miguel de Cervantes’s Don Quixote —owe their fame and endurance to cheap trans-Atlantic abridgments and the poor, Black, female, juvenile and otherwise marginalized readers whose growing demand kept them steadily in print. From chapbook abridgments of Robinson Crusoe pitched to working class readers, to toy book adaptations of The Pilgrim’s Progress for young girls, to illustrated, third-person, single volume adaptations of Pamela that subtly reorient the narrative toward questions of interracial sexual violence, and Jacksonian-era political cartoons satirizing Don Quixote, examples and invocations of these stories in early U.S. print culture suggest that the novel’s literary and material coherence was being vigorously renegotiated against the backdrop of an increasingly diverse print marketplace. We see this conflict most clearly in many of the defining American literary works of the nineteenth-century, including Herman Melville’s Moby Dick (1851), Susan Warner’s The Wide, Wide World(1850), Harriet Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (1861), and Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn (1884). Each of these works dramatizes the divergent interpretations present in the print histories of steady sellers in ways that center the experiences of marginalized readers. In bringing together the uneven circulation histories of steady sellers and the formation of U.S. literary culture, this project aims to challenge critical orthodoxies about the rise of the novel and acknowledge the vital role that poor, female, Black, and juvenile readers played in the formation, negotiation, and contestation of literary canons. / 2024-11-03T00:00:00Z

Thus, the following institutes will be explained: claim preclusion (res judicata), erga omnes effect and binding effect. All of them will be explained and compared with the similar effects of the comparative law. After identifying these effects and demonstrating their differences, we will examine how they affect the different types of unconstitutional decisions. Therefore, the interpretative, manipulative and restrictive decisions will be discussed. Finally, we will examine the recent institute of abridgment of law, showing what the similarities and differences in relation to the decisions in the concentrated control of constitutionality / O presente trabalho tem por escopo examinar os principais aspectos processuais relacionados à decisão de inconstitucionalidade. Assim, serão analisados os seguintes institutos: coisa julgada, efeito erga omnes e efeito vinculante. Todos eles serão explicados e confrontados com os efeitos existentes no direito comparado. Após identificarmos esses efeitos e demonstrarmos suas diferenças, passaremos a examinar como eles incidem na tipologia das decisões de inconstitucionalidade. Desse modo, abordaremos as decisões interpretativas, manipulativas e limitativas. Por fim, examinaremos o recente instituto das súmulas vinculantes, demonstrando quais são suas semelhanças e diferenças em relação às decisões proferidas no controle concentrado de constitucionalidade

In order to reach such desideratum, we have initially traced the adopted reference system and we have also delimited the research object, developing the fundamental premises, significantly, the notions about knowledge, language, law and juridical rule and system, all of them viewed by the light of the juridical constructivist and by the law analytical theory optics. Afterwards, we have done a confront of the binding effect of the juridical decisions within the law systems of the common law and the civil law, indicating their characteristics and the exertion of the theory of the judicial precedent. Here it has been emphasized the juridical structure of systems like the English and the North American ones, in order to give better explicitness to the application of the stare decisis theory. We have been to several juridical ordainments, showing how to proceed according to the jurisprudential standardization. This compared law study has revealed itself relevant to us to visualize how the entrance of the binding effect has been operated in the brazilian juridical system and, for consequence, face the multiple problems related to the aplication of the binding abridgment to the administrative process. These questions overcome, we have treated the binding effect within the Brazilian system and its relation to the constitutionality control of the normative acts and rules, explaining to which institutes the binding effect is conceded, being analyzed the binding abridgment ingress through the Constitutional Emendation n. 45/2004. In the sequence, we have fragmentized the binding abridgment according to its normative structure, the diverse definitions used related to the expression as well as the juridical medicine in case of disobeying. At the end of that exposition, we have examined the application of the binding abridgment to the federal tributary administrative process and the resulting consequences of this application in the diverse processual phases (introductive, instructive, decisive and appealing). Finally, it has been offered a summary of the conclusions of the study / A proposta da presente dissertação é oferecer um estudo sobre a aplicação da novel súmula vinculante ao processo administrativo tributário federal. Para alcançar tal desiderato, traçamos, inicialmente, o sistema de referência adotado e delimitamos o objeto da pesquisa, desenvolvendo as premissas fundamentais, notadamente as noções de conhecimento, de linguagem, de direito, de norma jurídica e de sistema jurídico, vistas sob a ótica do construtivismo jurídico e da teoria analítica do direito. Em seguida, fizemos um cotejo do efeito vinculante das decisões judiciais nos sistemas jurídicos da common law e do civil law, indicando as suas características e o emprego da teoria do precedente judicial. Aqui, se enfatizou a estrutura judicial de sistemas como o inglês e o norte-americano, para dar maior clareza à aplicação da teoria do stare decisis. Passeamos por vários ordenamentos jurídicos, apontando como se procede à uniformização jurisprudencial. Esse estudo de direito comparado mostrou-se relevante para visualizar como se operou a entrada do efeito vinculante no sistema jurídico pátrio, e, por conseqüência, enfrentar os múltiplos problemas relacionados à aplicação da súmula vinculante ao processo administrativo. Superadas essas questões, tratamos do efeito vinculante no sistema brasileiro e sua relação com o controle de constitucionalidade de leis e atos normativos, explicando a que institutos ele é empregado, tendo analisado o ingresso da súmula vinculante por intermédio da Emenda Constitucional 45/2004. Na seqüência, esmiuçamos a súmula vinculante quanto à sua estrutura normativa, às diversas acepções empregadas à expressão, bem como ao remédio jurídico em caso de descumprimento. Ao cabo dessa exposição, examinamos a aplicação da súmula vinculante ao processo administrativo tributário federal e as conseqüências resultantes dessa aplicação nas diversas fases processuais (introdutória, instrutória, decisória e recursal). Finalmente, se oferece uma suma das conclusões do estudo
