Reconciling Local with Global: New Zealand Muslim Women Articulating Faith in their Lives

This article explores the dynamics of personalised faith in the lives of minority and migrant Muslim women. Research that localises women's understandings of faith contrasts with the considerable literature that focuses on the transnational, politicised character of religion, as well as the discourses that examine religion as a form of gendered patriarchy. This article is a contribution to research that approaches gender and religion from a localised perspective. Drawing on the notion of ‘third space’, this discussion provides ethnographic narratives of Muslim women in New Zealand, focusing on four specific women. Each woman's story illustrates the significance of faith in her life, and demonstrates the unique, and interactive, ways that faith creates new meanings and interpretive possibilities in local contexts, as well as providing emotional solace and a source of coping with wider life stresses.

Stories and the Rhetoric of Contrariety: Subtexts of Organizing (Change)

Stories are an important part of organizational life that scholars have studied from many different perspectives. In this paper, we contribute a new way of exploring the meaning of stories. We use a concept from classical rhetoric, the enthymeme, to help reveal the particular underlying "logic" contained in the story form, and we show that the construction of this logic accounts, in part, for the engaging nature of the stories. We show that storytellers use enthymemes in the construction of their stories and also that scholars can use enthymemes to analyze stories. Understanding the enthymeme and its use in the story form enables interpreters to disentangle the argument often embedded in a story and to surface meanings that are implicit and powerful. In this paper, we focus attention on and examine such implicit meanings in four organizational stories of change in two city administrations, in order to illustrate the role of enthymeme in organizational rhetoric.     

意识与意志的同一：法律精神的文化与逻辑结构

法律精神是个体主观的法律意识与客观的法律意志之间高度同一性的状态,它是表征普通民众对法律规范认同的范畴,与普通民众的生活习惯与文化情感紧密相连,因此,法律意识与法律意志之间的张力与共融性的关系必然置于特定的文化传统之下,方可获得真实性的内涵,也才能彰显国家法律制度体系在规制社会秩序上的“合法性”。     

神仙观念与神仙信仰的现象学思考

“神仙观念”与“神仙信仰”乃人类生存中完全不同的生存维度。作为信仰的神仙,不是任何关于神仙的观念、思想和知识,而是人作为能在释放出来的一种独特生存方式。神仙实质上是一种在启示中临在的再生方式,即终有一死者朝向无限之境域生存的再生方式。     

美国各州之间法律和判决的承认规则——联邦最高法院对宪法中“充分信任和尊重”条款的司法解释

“充分信任和尊重”条款是美国联邦宪法第四条中的第一款,它要求每个州对于他州的公共法律、案卷和司法程序,应给予充分信任和尊重。在具体的司法实践中,联邦最高法院对“各州信任和尊重外州公共法律”的要求是相当宽松的,而对各州信任和尊重外州判决的要求却近乎苛刻。这主要是因为过分强调对各州法律的信任和尊重会造成一州为另一州立法或一州法律只能在外州执行的荒谬结果,而强调对判决的信任和尊重却可以在不过分损害各州主权的前提下促进联邦的统一性。     

中越民间始祖信仰重构比较研究——以布洛陀信仰和雄王信仰为例

在全球化进程加快的今天,曾被西方认为迷信和落后的东方民族民间信仰却日益升温,从而促进了民族民间始祖信仰的重构与发展。本文在实地考察的基础上,就中国广西田阳布洛陀始祖信仰与越南富寿省雄王始祖信仰进行比较,旨在分析其始祖神的定义、重构的历程及背景等异同及其成因,从中发现各自民族民间信仰的特点和经验,吸收两国人民在保护、传承和重构民族民间传统始祖信仰的文明成果。
