论劳动关系的劳动经济学研究视角

随着我国劳动力市场的形成和发展,必然对我国劳动关系产生影响,劳动关系运行市场化程度增强,灵活就业增多带来劳动关系非正规化等,同时,劳动力市场变化加大了工会工作的难度。对此,研究劳动关系应运用劳动经济学研究方法加强对劳动力市场的深入分析,研究就业和收入分配对劳动关系的影响,并对工会在和谐劳动关系建设中的作用予以重视。     

浅论社会主义劳动关系

社会主义劳动关系是进一步解放和发展生产力的劳动关系,是优于资本主义的劳动关系.其主要内涵是:相互依存、各尽所能、共决利益、和谐共赢.坚持发展中国特色的社会主义事业,既要肯定资本的正面功能和积极作用,又要坚决有效地引导、限制和阻止资本的负面功能和消极作用;同时要引导和促进劳动关系主体双方在利益相关、命运相连、共同合作的企...     

中国工会在构建和谐劳动关系中的合作博弈

市场经济中的劳动关系是生产过程中生产要素之间的经济利益关系.在我国劳动关系中出现的不和谐根源于利益关系的失衡,并直接危害到我国的经济发展、政治稳定和社会和谐.面对劳动力市场化过程中的社会转型及利益主体多元化,符合中国国情的工会行为模式,是在法律制度框架下表达、维护和实现劳动者权益,以合作博弈方式达成劳资之间的利益平衡....     

利益一体──我国劳动关系模式的现实选择

以劳动关系双方利益关余性质和处理原则为标准，目前世界各国的劳动关系大致可以划分为三个模式：利益冲突型、利益一体型、利益协调型。利益冲突型的劳动关系，强调劳资关系双方的各自利益和不同立场，阶级分野和劳资阵营的对峙很明显；利益一体型的劳动关系，突出双方利益的一致性，以劳资合作或利益一体作为理论基础；利益协调型的劳动关系，是双方基于权利对等和地住平等的基础建立的，以对等协商为基本原则。当然，现实中任何国家的劳动关系，都不是以一种模式简单而孤立地存在着，而是三种模式相互交叉，以一种模式为主导。在向市场经…     

试论必须牢牢把握工会工作新机遇

随着社会主义市场经济的深入发展．我国的社会经济成分、就业方式、利益关系和分配方式目趋多样化。劳动关系也随之发生深刻变化．呈现出一系列新特征。在劳动关系市场化和劳动力市场供大于求的背景下，“强资本、弱劳工”成为劳动关系的基本格局。这既是工会存在、发展的现实依据，也是工会为平衡劳资双方力量，追求协调、稳定、合作、共赢的劳动关系的逻辑起点。     

工会与我国和谐劳动关系的构建

社会主义市场经济体制的建立,使我国国有企业劳动关系中劳动主体明晰、利益分化显现,劳动者较之资本与管理者处于弱势地位,更易受到伤害.工会作为劳动者的代表,应发挥沟通作用、教育培训作用、协商作用,维护职工利益,促进和谐劳动关系的建立.     

试析社会主义市场经济的劳动关系——兼谈工会协调劳动关系的思路

传统理论认为劳动关系的性质是由生产资料所有制所决定的。这个论点科学地区分了人类五大社会形态的劳动关系性质。但是,社会主义社会的劳动关系性质,不仅取决于生产资料所有制,还与经济体制有关,受政治体制影响。同样是社会主义公有制,在计划经济体制下和在市场经济体制下,劳动关系的表现是有所区别的。同样是私有制,在不同社会制度下,劳动关系的表现也是有所区别的。现就社会主义市场经济的劳动关系与计划经济的劳动关系的不同特点试析如下:第一,在计划经济体制下,全民所有制企业的生产资料归全民所有,企业的所有权与经营权都归国家,劳动力不是商品,有关劳动者在劳动过程中的重大利益问题,都由国家严格控制和具体安排,企业的行政领导人员和职工仅是分工的不同,因此在劳动关系上是同志式的互助     

战略劳动关系管理:内容、挑战及展望

劳动关系是劳资双方在劳动过程中构成的一种社会关系,它包括权利关系和利益关系两个方面,劳动争议中涉及的劳动关系是权利和利益兼有的关系.劳动关系包括三个范畴,即学术建设、解决实际问题、道德规范.劳动关系管理和人力资源管理对工作场所问题的研究都包含了雇主、员工和社会这三种视角,只是其侧重点不同.劳动关系管理是以上三种解决途径...     

利益一体和公私兼顾的劳动关系理论概述

利益一体和公私兼顾的劳动关系理论,是依据社会主义计划经济体制下劳动关系的特点而形成和发展的劳动关系理论。它认为社会主义公有制和计划经济下劳动关系双方的总体利益是一致的,但双方具体利益的差别和矛盾(即公私矛盾)也是客观存在的,公私矛盾的存在就是社会主义制度下工会存在的客观基础。工会在社会主义劳动关系中的地位和作用是:站在职工群众的立场上,正确调解和处理公私矛盾,把党对工会的要求与工人群众对工会的要求结合起来,在维护全国人民总体利益的同时,更好地代表和维护职工群众的具体利益。     

进入市场的并非都是商品——对改革中劳动队伍主体社会形态的思考

市场经济要求生产要素市场化。劳动力进入市场,带来了劳动经济利益关系的调整,这就需要加强对劳动关系的利益协调与法制管理。要做到这一点,就要弄清楚劳动力在市场上的属性问题。应当说,在建立社会主义市场经济新体制中,劳动力进入市场是必然的,部分劳动力已经或正在变为商品是个客观事实。但是,从整体看,多数劳动力在市场上没有呈现出商品的固有特性,劳动队伍主体的本质属性是非商品的。因为:     

Feminism, Aestheticism and the Limits of Law

This article seeks to identify and address the normative void that resides at the heart of postmodernist-feminist theory, and to propose a philosophical framework – beyond postmodernism, but incorporating its central insights – for thinking through the normative questions with which feminists are inevitably confronted in their engagements with positive law. Two varieties of postmodernist-feminism are identified and critically analysed: the ‘corporeal feminism’ of Elizabeth Grosz and Judith Butler, which seeks to ground feminist critical practice in the irruptive capacities of the material body considered as an arte fact of social construction; and the deconstructionist feminism of Drucilla Cornell, for whom ‘the feminine’ is an indeterminate but disruptive force beyond its construction in law and in other social sites. The first component of the argument elaborated here is that each of these approaches ultimately reduces to a form of aestheticism which is incapable of generating a worthwhile and workable feminist approach to the restructuring of politics and law. The second component of the argument involves a return to aesthetics, in particular to the philosophical aesthetics of Kant’s Critique of Judgement. Kant’s aesthetic philosophy, it will be suggested, yields a framework of concepts which, duly re-manipulated, could speak to the very concerns that have inspired postmodernist-feminism: how to attend to (bodily) particularity while avoiding the dangers associated with ‘essentialism’; and how to theorise the propensity of the unrepresentable power of the feminine to exceed both embodied human capacities and the confining rein of socially privileged rationalities. Crucially, however it also responds to a set of preoccupations – those of the feminist lawyer – that cannot be accommodated by postmodernism: how to translate embodied experience into (legal) norms; generalise from the particular; seek consensus; and codify an endless potentiality in the form of law. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

The Between

Thinking with this special issue's group of feminist thinkers – some artists and others scholars – this introduction makes a strong case for co-authorship and a more collaborative humanities, while also insisting that the couple form – that stalwart object of queer and feminist theory – is neither a known quantity nor an exhausted entity, but rather, a field ripe for analysis. Situated squarely within performance studies, this introduction pivots away from questions of ontology and toward method and performativity, in order to ask: what modes of intellectual practice, erotic exchange, political work, and aesthetic experimentation happen uniquely within couple forms, in their most capacious and non-self-same iterations? What queer and feminist work can they do? What, in other words, is possible in the infinity, if indeed it is an infinity, between one and two?     

Beyond the scarcity scare: reframing the discourse of hunger with an eco-mind

Solutions to world hunger continue to be impeded by a frame – a set of assumptions – that keeps much of humanity focusing narrowly on quantitative growth. The result is greater food production and greater hunger. Yet, across the world another way of seeing, one grounded in the relational insights of ecology, is transforming food systems in ways that both enhance flora and fauna and strengthen human relationships, enabling farmers to gain a greater voice in food production and fairer access to the food produced.     

Other forms of conviviality: The best and least of which is our daily care and the host of which is our collaborative work

In this collaboratively written essay, artists Park McArthur and Constantina Zavitsanos take a queer materialist feminist approach to the entanglement of dependency and reproductive labor, disability, intimacy, and the impossibility of exchanging incommensurables. The text merges the authors' experiences receiving and providing one another care with their artistic practices, and includes instructive performance scores for past, rather than future, events.     

Close Encounters: Solidarity,Servitude and Postcolonial Feminist Affects and Affiliations

Abstract

This essay offers close readings of three texts that in different ways foreground the problems, possibilities and struggle involved in forging affective connections across difference between women: Kate Clanchy, What is She Doing Here? 2008, Jamaica Kincaid, Lucy, 1991a and Marlene Van Niekerk, ‘Labour’, 2004. The author argues that the incomplete and partial nature of affective moments represented in these texts signals possibilities for a cautiously redefined idea of affective feminist solidarity as it is mobilized in the intimacy of domestic spaces.     

The Impersonal Strategy: Re-visiting Virginia Woolf's Position in The Common Reader Essays

The concept of impersonality as a writer's strategy has been exposed to misinterpretations that either fail to exhaust its full meaning and deposit an unequal amount of attention on all components of the term or, in the worst case, tend to distort its true elements. In relation to Virginia Woolf's criticism, in particular, it is a critical commonplace that the author employed an impersonal position in order not to fully materialise her feminist vision, but to shy away from explicitly expressing her feminist convictions and openly supporting women's rights. Indicative of this is the criticism that suggests disapproval of Woolf's reluctance to side with her own gender and declare the power of female personality.

The aim here is to challenge such critical views, separate the discussion of impersonality from its association with that of androgyny, and re-visit the issue of Woolf's employment of the impersonal strategy. I examine two of Woolf's essays on nineteenth-century women writers included in her first volume of The Common Reader and offer an analysis from both a gender-oriented and a genderless angle. Woolf's strong affinity with female conditions of oppression, her modernist convictions, her need to compromise with the male-dominated context of the time and her concurrent urge to co-operate with the common reader of an unspecified sex for the sake of artistic creation reveal more complex reasons behind her intentions than those examined by critics so far.     

Men in Skirts

There are signs that the wearing of skirts by men appears to be on the increase in the West. Connor's essay provides a series of historical reflections on the signification and cultural phenomenology of male and female apparel. The first appearance of bifurcated dress in the late mediaeval period is considered, along with the struggle between men and women for command of lateral space during the seventeenth century in Europe, as attested to by commentators like John Bulwer and John Evelyn. Explications are offered of the thematics of the fringe and the pocket, as they are dramatized in trousers and skirts, as well as of the logic of lightness and of the pendant. Trousers, Connors concludes, have never lost their fanciful associations with utility, practicality and rationality; they are the signs of occupation, of being taken up in what you do, rather than consumed in what you are. The political victory of the trousered over the untrousered races (Romans, Scots, Indians etc.) is confirmed by its inversion in male masochist fantasies of 'petticoat government', from the late nineteenth century onwards.     

Introduction to queer circuits: Critical performance and digital praxis

This introduction situates the articles making up this special issue within four thematic clouds, positing queer theorization as broadly relevant for critically engaging with computational technologies and culture. These sub-themes offer suggestions for future queer inquiry and praxis and reflect key terms in performance studies and queer theory that have undergone transformation with the ubiquity of digital technology.     

Trauma as Site of Identity: The Case of Jeanette Winterson and Frida Kahlo

B y taking gender seriously, the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party in South Africa appeared to reverse the trend set by many liberation movements elsewhere: namely, women being mobilized as agents in struggles around class and race, yet denied the imperative of addressing gender subordination. Shortly after coming to power, the ANC adopted a national strategy for advancing gender equality. By doing so it demonstrated that it could rise above the limitations of its erstwhile 'woman question' position (Beall et al. 1989) and learn from the experience of other countries that had tried to institutionalize gender policies and structures. This in turn served to place South Africa at the cutting edge of experience in state-initiated gender policies and 'national machineries' for women. Nevertheless, South Africa's National Machinery for Advancing Gender Equality merits critical scrutiny, both in terms of its intrinsic aims and objectives and in relation to its potential for making an impact, given the development policy context of contemporary South Africa. Drawing on research conducted in South Africa over a number of years--during the 1980s (Beall et al. 1987) and, more recently, since 1997 (Beall 1997, 1998), it is possible to consider what lessons are to be learned from the institutionalization of gender-sensitive policy and practice in a complex institutional environment.     

From a Feminist Perspective: Plotinus on Teaching and Learning Philosophy

Vassilopoulou discusses Plotinus' educational practice as it may be reconstructed from his biography and texts. She concentrates on Plotinus' views on the role of women manifested in his revision of traditional metaphors that accentuate women's dependent status, the overall significance of the employment of metaphors within a philosophical context, and the ensuing conception of dialectic and rationality. Her analysis indicates that Plotinus' practice of teaching and learning philosophy reflects contemporary feminist values. Her claim is that a reading of Plotinus from a feminist perspective has much to contribute to contemporary debates raised in the context of feminist pedagogy and theory.
