民事发回重审之功能论

民事诉讼中发回重审在司法实践中确保初审程序的正当化,明确了上下级法院职能分工,保障诉讼当事人两审终审之利益。发回重审以其独有的功能而区别于其它二审裁决方式。但实务操作中因法律笼统规定等相关因素和制度本身种种弊端使得发回重审滥用现象严重,这也与民事诉讼追求的效率与公正价值取向背道而驰。虽然我国在2012年8月新修的《民事诉讼法》中完善了发回重审制度,但对于发回重审的具体事由以及相关处理程序仍有待规范。因此,适当限制发回重审是由,严格把控重审程序,给予当事人一定的程序选择权,对消解发回重审的滥用和当事人诉讼利益的保护,彰显法治权威和统一有着不可小觑的作用。

Access to justice for Aboriginal People in the Northern Territory

This article discusses research in the Northern Territory on Aboriginal civil and family law needs. It is based on focus group discussions and interviews with legal services providers and other associated organisations. The article argues that key areas of legal need involve discrimination, housing, child protection, social security, credit/debt and consumer law problems. It further argues that welfare conditionality, particularly as embodied in the NT Intervention and subsequent Stronger Futures policies, has exacerbated the need for legal assistance and advocacy for Aboriginal people.     

论民事诉讼程序中的个人主体性——以程序利益与程序主体的关系为视角

国家主体型、国家—个人主体型和个人主体型三种不同类型的程序主体性,反应了诉讼程序从国家控制到个体的人的自由的发展趋势。现代诉讼程序强调程序主体的个人主体性,个体的人应当成为程序独立的自主、自在性主体,这就需要其在诉讼程序中具有独立的属己利益支撑。民事诉讼程序应当淡化国家色彩,以个人的程序利益保障为基点,实现个人的独立性程序地位,进而使民事诉讼程序获得真正的独立性。     

浅议中国民族歌剧发展存在的问题

中国民族歌剧自上世纪20年代诞生以来,在学习与借鉴欧洲传统歌剧的基础上,已经有了较大水平的提升,许多优秀歌剧作品不论是歌剧内容还是艺术形式上都堪比西方歌剧。然而,民族歌剧的艺术形式影响着歌剧在我国的普及程度,许多优秀的新歌剧"昙花一现",中国民族歌剧事业的发展面临着巨大挑战,探索一条我国歌剧自己的道路还需要歌剧创作者们付出更多的努力。     

Who is a volunteer? A cultural and temporal exploration of volunteerism

This study’s purpose was to develop a temporal and cultural definition of volunteering in China. Using a comparative mixed-methods approach, N₁ = 218 Chinese students in Hong Kong were surveyed about their perceptions of volunteering. These quantitative data were compared cross-culturally with a sample of adults in the United States who used the same instrument called Who is a Volunteer? Subsequently, N₂ = 40 of these same students voluntarily participated in a series of focus groups, to further explore more in-depth their opinions about volunteering. The main quantitative results revealed that at the extreme ends of the volunteer scale, both the U.S. and Chinese samples could readily distinguish what volunteering was or was not. The more nuanced empirical differences on the scale (24% of the 21 items) were explained either by unique cultural differences, or the longer and more prominent history that volunteering has had in North America versus China. Main qualitative findings revealed additional between-group cultural differences exemplified by (1) a more family-centric and collectivist Chinese culture versus a more individualistic American culture, (2) a role blurring about volunteer activities versus paid work activities, and (3) that both organizational and cultural context must be seriously considered when defining volunteerism. This study adds to the growing definitional literature on this transformational concept and represents the largest comparative empirical investigation on this subject from East Asia.     

Teaching Black History after Obama

This article is a reflection on the teaching of black history after the Obama presidency and at the dawn of the Trump era. It is both an analysis of the state of the academic field and a primer on how to integrate the past few decades of scholarship in black history broadly across standard K-12 curriculum. It demonstrates the importance of theorizing black history as American history rather than just including African American content in US History courses and offers specific methods that can shift the narrative in this direction even within the confines of a more traditional telling of the American past. Finally, it situates the voluminous work of historians of the black past as critical interventions in pedagogy necessary to challenge today's unrelenting attacks on public education.     

《离骚》本草说故里——关于屈原出生地的另类臆断

屈原故里是研究屈原的诸多学术争执中一个常见的话题。关于屈原的故里，最早记载屈原生平事件的《史记·屈原贾生列传》没有文字的记载，后人普遍认为秭归是屈原的故里，及后又有江陵说、奉节说、临湘说、汉寿说等诸多说法。如果从屈原代表作《离骚》中所描写的本草来考察其故里，则会发现，在人们对屈原故里的诸多判断中，秭归说应该是最为合理和科学的。
