Who owns the trauma? A Kleinian perspective on the dialogue between child protection social workers and the media

The present paper makes use of the developmental model of movement between mental positions that was formulated by psychoanalyst Melanie Klein, aimed at understanding the dialogue that takes place between the media and social workers in the field of child welfare, centring around incidents of murder within the family. The basic concept in the paper is that when working with children who are victims of abuse and with their parents, and when reporting on them as well, the feeling of personal control is severely undermined, being associated with the loss of the hallowed social value known as ‘unconditional love of a parent for his child’. The paper illustrates these theoretical ideas by describing two cases that took place in Israel and recommendations are made regarding ways of promoting the dialogue between the professions.

顶罪替刑犯罪的刑法思考

当今代人顶罪替刑事件频现报端,而我国现行刑法却没有就顶替人犯罪作专门的规定,所以导致顶罪替刑在司法实践中的罪名归属存在争议。为了体现罪刑法定原则,应当将顶罪替刑行为设置为独立的罪名,与现行刑法中窝藏、包庇罪相区别。同时,还需要从犯罪构成要件中分析顶罪替刑罪的基本特征,解决司法实践中本罪的犯罪主体、共同犯罪等复杂问题,以期实现刑法规制的目的。     

“Good Manner of Dying” as a Normative Concept: “Autocide,”“Granny Dumping” and Discussions on Euthanasia/Death with Dignity in Japan

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the two characteristics of the way the issue of euthanasia/death with dignity has been discussed in Japan, compared with the situation in Europe and the USA. The two characteristics are: (i) that the concept of “euthanasia” is sharply distinguished from that of “death with dignity” in Japan in that the former only refers to the killing of a patient by administration of a lethal drug while the latter refers to letting a patient die by withholding or withdrawing life‐prolonging medical treatments; and (ii) that the view that it is sinful to commit suicide is not as common in Japan as it is in the West. In order to clarify these characteristics, I examine the nature of suicide and murder in relation to the issue of euthanasia and death with dignity while briefly reviewing the history of the debates in Japan in order to see how the characteristic understanding of “death with dignity” has generated. I also clarify, by giving examples, the structure of those narratives with regards to the “good manner of dying,” which excludes from society the elderly and people with incurable diseases and ones with motor and intellectual disabilities. In the end, I describe how biopolitics functions in the current Japanese situation.     

绑架罪司法疑难问题的梳理与检讨

刑法规定,行为人绑架被害人后又将其杀害的依绑架罪论处,绑架杀人的犯罪形态应是牵连犯;绑架后又对被害人抢劫的,应对绑架罪与抢劫罪予以数罪并罚;绑架罪包含了两个具体构成要件：敲诈勒索罪和非法拘禁罪。厘清绑架罪中的非法限制他人的人身自由,则是区分绑架罪与敲诈勒索罪的重要因素。     

"见死不救"的刑事责任分析

对"见死不救"的刑事责任问题,应从"见死不救"者所负的义务,"见死不救"与被害人死亡之间的因果关系两方面来确定."见死不救"者如果负有法律、职务或业务上的义务,以及先行行为所产生的义务或由于受害人的求助并产生的信赖与期待,为维护社会内在秩序而形成的义务,当为而不为,应负刑事责任.但由于在不同情况下,不作为与危害后果之间因果联系的差异性,应分别以杀人罪或不救助罪处罚.     

Sparking debate? Political deaths and Twitter discourses in Argentina and Russia

The big question that pervades debate between techno-optimists and their detractors is whether social media are good for democracy. Do they help to produce or accelerate democratic change or, alternatively, might they hinder it? This article foregrounds an alternative perspective, arguing that individual social networking applications likely do not fulfil a single political function across national contexts. Their functionality may be mediated instead by language and by pre-existing relationships between the state and offline domestic media. We arrive at this conclusion through examining reactions on Twitter to two fatal events that occurred in early 2015: the death in suspicious and politically charged circumstances of the special prosecutor Alberto Nisman in Argentina, and the murder in Russia of opposition activist Boris Nemtsov. Several similarities between the two deaths provide the conditions for a comparative analysis of the discourses around them in the Spanish-language and Russian-language Twitter spheres, respectively. In Russia, a hostile social media environment polluted by high levels of automated content and other spam reduced the utility of Twitter for opposition voices, who work against an increasingly authoritarian state. In Argentina, a third-wave democracy, Twitter discourses appeared as predominantly coextensive with other pro-government and opposition online, print, and broadcast information and opinion sources, thus consolidating and amplifying a highly polarized and repetitive wider public political conversation. Despite the potential for social media to help citizens circumvent formal and informal restrictions to discursive participation in national public spheres, in the cases that we compare here domestic political structures play a key role in determining the uses and limitations of online spaces for recounting and expressing opinion on current affairs stories involving the state.     

唐律谋杀罪理论体系形成考

先秦即已出现谋杀罪罪名,秦汉至隋的刑律中谋杀罪的罪名更为丰富,有谋杀人、使人杀人、牧杀、谋贼杀等罪名,对谋杀罪的罪名、罪状、定罪量刑的情节规定也趋于严密,在谋杀罪的流变过程中起到了承前启后的作用,成为唐律谋杀罪理论的渊源。在此基础上,唐律对谋杀行为的主观心态、行为特征、主犯与从犯、一般谋杀与特殊谋杀的量刑等区分都有了细致的规定,形成了严密的谋杀罪理论体系,为此后历代刑律所沿袭,影响深远。
