<p>The articles gathered in this issue are the result of papers presented at the workshop held at the O&ntilde;ati International Institute for the Sociology of Law on 20-21 May 2013 on Perspectives of Justice in Literature: Perspectives from Justice and Fundamental Rights in Literature: an Approach from Legal Culture in a European context. Literature and literary fiction can act as a thread that helps different disciplines to communicate with each other and can thus help go beyond the strictly legal field opening up to questions of justice and rights. These papers deal with issues of justice - mainly Fundamental Rights, but also procedural aspects of justice and its administration, philosophical perspectives of justice - and of legal culture - local, European, Universal - as reflected through and by literature.</p> <hr /><p>Los art&iacute;culos que conforman este n&uacute;mero son el resultado de las ponencias presentadas en el workshop celebrado en el Instituto Internacional de Sociolog&iacute;a Jur&iacute;dica de O&ntilde;ati el 20 y 21 mayo de 2013 sobre las perspectivas de la justicia en la literatura: Perspectivas desde la Justicia y los Derechos Fundamentales en la Literatura: un Enfoque de Cultura Jur&iacute;dica en el Contexto Europeo. La literatura y la ficci&oacute;n literaria pueden ser un hilo que favorece que diferentes disciplinas se comuniquen entre s&iacute; y pueden de esta forma ayudar a ir m&aacute;s all&aacute; del campo jur&iacute;dico estricto, planteando cuestiones sobre justicia y derechos. Estos art&iacute;culos tratan sobre aspectos de la justicia (principalmente derechos fundamentales, pero tambi&eacute;n sobre procedimiento judicial y administraci&oacute;n de la justicia, perspectivas filos&oacute;ficas de la justicia) y de cultura jur&iacute;dica (local, europea, universal), de la forma en la que se han reflejado en la literatura.</p><p><strong>DOWNLOAD THIS PAPER FROM SSRN</strong>: <a href="http://ssrn.com/abstract=2543450 " target="_blank">http://ssrn.com/abstract=2543450 </a></p>
