Local Rites and Body Politics

The growing awareness of violence against women has resulted in endorsement of various international codes and conventions relating to physical, psychological and sexual violence. Female genital mutilation is one form of violence against women that has polarized people within and across national borders. Here, I explore its popular representation, consider how activism against genital mutilation has been confounded by sex and race and how activism to eradicate the practice is understood by immigrant women in Australia. In doing this, I draw on research conducted with women immigrants to Australia from north Africa (the Sahel areas) and the Middle East, from countries where female genital mutilation is most common. These women are often frustrated by what they see as contradictions in hospital policy and practice that arise in response to their requests to be reinfibulated after childbirth. I tease out the dilemmas that emerge when refusal is contrasted with other permissible practices of the body, such as hymen reconstruction, and given the commodification of bodies and related issues of age and agency, the individual and the community. The perceived discrepancies suggest to these African women that rights discourse is discriminatory, racist and informed by sensational portrayals of traditional practices. I question the ethics, values and rights that inform public discourse about sexual and reproductive rights, when women’s rights and values are so discrepant from our own ideals.     

A Feminist Political Economic Critique of Women and Investment in the Popular Media

From a feminist political economic perspective, this paper examines the relationship between gender and investment in the popular media in three interrelating ways. First, a discourse analysis was used to examine eight popular books on investment for women published in the US. The popular financial literature asks women to solve the problems that they encounter in a patriarchal household by participating in the financial market. Second, Suze Orman was used as a case study to show the commodification process of financial information through the tactics brand differentiation, multi-platform delivery, and creation of niche markets. Third, the consumption of commodities is linked to that of production and distribution by revealing the relations between the gendered production and reproduction in the household, transnational corporations, and financial institutions.     

SPECIAL ISSUE： EXAMINING THE DEATH PENALTY IN CHINA An empirical study of the application of death penalty

本文以最高法院示范性案例中的全部“死罪”案例为样本进行法律解释学的实证研究，发现了犯罪中是否构成死罪、死罪中是否适用死刑、死刑中是否立即执行的一些重要不同，并根据这些发现认为，法律解释既是规范判断又是自主判断，应尽可能提高法律本身的明确性以呼唤死刑适用更大程度上向规范层面的回归。     

孔子与柏拉图论人际关系之比较

人际关系是在社会生活实践中人们通过物质交往和精神交往而发展和建立起来的人与人之间的关系，对于研究伦理关系具有十分重要的作用。孔子和柏拉图作为东西方重要的思想家，他们关于人际关系的论述不仅对各自国家的文化产生了深远的影响，而且对东西方不同文明的发展起到了引导作用。在充分阐述孔子与柏拉图各自对人际关系论述的基础之上，比较两人的观点，不仅有助于了解他们各自的思想，也有助于进一步研究东西方伦理关系的特点和规律，对现代社会中如何构建良好的人际关系显然具有重要的借鉴意义。

遵循创投发展规律深化国有创投公司市场化改革——部分省市国有创投公司调研报告

江苏、浙江及深圳等部分省市国有创投公司成功的原因，在于不断按照市场化、专业化要求推进体制机制创新，突破现行国有评估、考核和激励机制等的束缚。上海国有创投业在国内与深圳创投、江苏高投等公司基本上同时起步，但近年来在实力和影响力方面差距拉大。建议上海国有创投业体现政府职能和市场化的经营活动要分开；国资创投活动要与市场融合特别是与社会资金融合；通过改革和创新突破现有国资规定。     

Racialization in a ‘homogenous’ society? The case of Buraku people in Japan

This paper examines the puzzling status of Buraku people in Japan through the methodological prism of historical sociology. I develop a theoretical approach that emphasizes the concept of racialization to illuminate the historical and social construction of Buraku status. I propose this approach as a complementary alternative to prior analytic perspectives. Two major perspectives have dominated research on the status of Buraku people. First, an earlier approach that focused on the legacy of caste discrimination. The second framework focuses on Buraku people as part of the struggle for universal human rights. This article raises three basic, but interrelated questions about the historical development of Buraku status in Japan. Why did the Buraku people become subject to such overt discrimination in local community life, and through government policy? How was the state involved in the social construction of Buraku people? How did the Buraku liberation struggles challenge formalized discrimination?
