深化国企改革 促进人的解放

从经济学和社会发展角度分析,改革的目的不仅仅是为了解放生产力和发展生产力,更在于人的解放。传统的计划经济体制中最核心的关系是国有企业中的依附关系,改革20多年来,中国社会最根本的变化是削弱了公民的依附关系。

人类本位的共生时代--对全球化的生存论解读

全球化是人类历史发展的必然结果,这种趋势已现实地展现于我们当今的时代生活,凸显了人类生存的趋同性,尽管在全球化的进程中还存在中心与边缘、强权与落后的矛盾,但这是前进中历史的必然,可以通过人类的协同发展、对话和沟通等形式加以化解.如今,全球化作为人类的历史选择,已经显现它自身强劲的发展动力.当今时代,不加入WTO则丧失发展的机遇.人类已经进入全球化时代,全球化的生存表明人类正在实现个体化的超越,每个人的生存必须以他人的生存为前提,共生共容是全球化的时代主题.     

A materialist take on minoritization,emancipation, and language revitalization: Occitan sociolinguistics since the 1970s

This paper introduces and discusses Occitan sociolinguistics as it evolved from the 1970s onward as a theory of language contact as conflict. It was developed in conjunction with its Catalan counterpart and as a reaction to Joshua Fishman's allocational model of diglossia, and came as a response to conditions of swift social and linguistic change in Southern France after the Second World War. This model, proposed mainly at first by Robèrt Lafont in Montpelhièr, is strongly materialist in that it focuses on the material conditions of language production and replaces the language movement among other social struggles. This paper first explores the roots of the contemporary Occitan movement and its links with the birth of Occitan sociolinguistics. It then analyzes key concepts in Occitan sociolinguistics such as diglossic ideology as essential to understand processes of minoritization, linguistic alienation, and social domination. Finally, it looks at how this approach conceptualizes language revitalization not as a linguistic issue but as a social one and suggests that Occitan sociolinguistics provides an alternative to models of language loss and revival rooted in cultural and identity politics.     

The Role of Social Support in the Transition From Foster Care to Emerging Adulthood

Many youth leave foster care with disrupted relationships with their family and others in their social networks. Previous research has documented the severe adversity that former foster youth face in the transition to young adulthood. Perhaps some difficulties are at least partially related to a lack of social support that results from frayed relationships. This article reviews the literature on social support, particularly as it relates to foster youth, for the purpose of examining the role that formal and informal supports play in the transition to adulthood. The implications of this literature for successful transitions for former foster youth are discussed, as well as ways child welfare workers can engage youth and their families, and help them develop supportive social networks.     

‘Africanisation’, African identities and emancipation in contemporary South Africa

This article problematises the concept of ‘Africanisation’ as a response to colonial conquest and apartheid rule, bearing both political and knowledge consequences. It aims to rescue ‘Africanisation’ from essentialist notions, but at the same time to show how paradigms cannot be simply applied where they derive from quite different experiences. The article introduces modes of differentiating concepts that are dynamic, as opposed to static, singular and unmediated meanings that bedevil any emancipatory project. The tendency to see a moment in the life of a concept as having a settled and finalised meaning renders the qualities of democracy, and other similar liberating concepts, as settled though their meaning is never finally realised. While colonialism marginalised and devalued local knowledges, the national liberation project sought unity/homogenisation, which tended to deny distinct identities, as is largely the case today. There remains hostility to pluralism at a social and political level and a failure to recognise autonomous identities unconnected to the state or the ruling organisation, the African National Congress (ANC). The tendency towards static notions of custom and paradigms that do not derive from the experiences of African women, in particular, has tended to erase the voices of women or prejudice the emancipation of women from patriarchal oppression. Africanisation, the article proposes, must be located through an ongoing dialogue between dynamic local knowledges and a range of other explanatory tools.     

Hidden in Public View

This study analyzes the visual representations of women in Bulgaria from the 1950s to the 1980s, as depicted in photographs in the official daily newspaper of the communist party. The study is theoretically informed by feminist theories of media representations and engages specifically with Gaye Tuchman's idea of “symbolic annihilation,” which referred to Western media's condemnation, trivialization, and omission of women in public discourse. However, this analysis adapts Tuchman's theory to the specificities of socialist societies, where women's participation in public life was ideologically mandated. The authors propose the concept of “symbolic glorification” as a correlate to Tuchman's idea, and argue that symbolic glorification was a necessary part of ideological efforts to claim that women's participation in the labor force and political life was a sign of true emancipation. Nevertheless, the visual data reveal that certain aspects of femininity, related to motherhood and sexuality, were symbolically annihilated as a way to make female identities conform to ideological goals. The paper concludes by raising questions about the ways in which the ideologically constructed identities of women during socialism may impact on a feminist agenda after the end of the Cold War.

马克思对法的批判及其“普遍的人的解放”转向

《<黑格尔法哲学批判>导言》和《论犹太人问题》是马克思将对法的批判纳入到"普遍的人的解放"的发展路径的起点,对法的批判是政治批判的重要表现形式,研究马克思对法的批判需放入法学发展史的脉络中审视.历史法学与黑格尔法哲学关于如何编纂民法典的形式对立是二者对于法律本质分歧的实质对立的表现.马克思通过批判历史法学派得出应从历史回到现实;基于哲学与现实的关系批判黑格尔法哲学.人权的核心即"私有财产"是马克思从政治批判转向市民社会批判的关键纽带,最终升华至"普遍的人的解放",自由优先于法学领域的最高价值正义,由此形成了马克思对法的批判的独特分析范式.
