Modern Times:

Possible future roles for child and youth workers are suggested based on an examination of trends within the world of work generally, and based on an analysis of child and youth care's goals, tasks, and work environments. Results of the analysis describes child and youth work as a complex, segmented, and dynamic job with high perceived uncertainty, and high needs for information, communication, and coordination. The prescribed decentralized, egalitarian organizational structure for child and youth services indicates communicator and integrator roles for child and youth workers as they use their milieu-based communication expertise to coordinate child and youth services. Specific suggestions are offered to prepare for these future roles.     

Postmaternal Times and Radical Feminist Thinking

ABSTRACT

Linking the postmaternal to postfeminism as products of late twentieth-century neoliberal capitalism, postmaternal thinking is defined in this article by its historical time period, from the early 1980s onwards, and by its legacy of radical feminist thinking which was critical in messing up traditional understandings of maternity. This is demonstrated through research and resources related to the women’s peace movement, with specific reference to the women-only peace camps at Greenham Common (U.K.) and Pine Gap (Australia). The intellectual legacies of these complex and compelling debates around the social practices of maternity, the politics of family, collective domesticity and activism are often occluded in social memory, as Stephens argues in Confronting Postmaternal Thinking (2011). This paper extends Stephens’ working definition of postmaternity to argue for an interconnected structural social analysis of postmaternal times, and contests modernist categories of knowing to consider postmaternity as postmodernist in its multiple and shifting array of politics. In this way postmaternity becomes a time in which maternity is open to redefinition through a proliferation of meaning and possibilities, and this is demonstrated by concluding in the form of a manifesto.     

The Ethic of Care, Female Subjectivity and Feminist Legal Scholarship

The object of this essay is to explore the central role played by the ‘ethic of care’ in debates within and beyond feminist legal theory. The author claims that the ethic of care has attracted feminist legal scholars in particular, as a means of resolving the theoretical, political and strategic difficulties to which the perceived ‘crisis of subjectivity’ in feminist theory has given rise. She argues that feminist legal scholars are peculiarly placed in relation to this crisis because of their reliance on the social ‘woman’ whose interests are the predominant concern of feminist legal engagement. With the problematisation of subjectivity, the object of feminist legal attention disappears and it is in attempts to deflect the negative political consequences of this that the ethic of care has been invoked, the author argues, unsuccessfully. The essay concludes with suggestions as to how the feminist project in law might proceed in the wake of the crisis of subjectivity and the failure of the ethic of care to resolve it.

共享用工的性质、法律关系辨析与法律制度的构建完善

受新冠肺炎疫情影响,共享用工模式成为近几年较为热门的用工模式。共享用工在性质上不同 于劳务外包、员工借调、劳务派遣,属于独立的新的灵活用工形态。在共享用工中,供工单位与共享员工之间 存在实体可消失劳动关系,缺工单位与共享员工之间存在虚实可转换劳动关系。本研究认为,欲实现对共享用 工的规范和对共享员工权益的保护,在程序性方面应构建供工单位工会参与签订共享用工协议并监督其履行制 度、共享用工协议行政备案与行政监督制度,在实体性方面应构建完善有关共享用工条件和期限限定、劳动关 系变动等制度。     

家庭暴力概念的法理辨析

家庭暴力现象由来已久,我国对家庭暴力问题进行专门立法不过是最近两年的事情。最高人民法院 对新《婚姻法》作出的司法解释明确规定“家庭暴力”是“行为人以殴打、捆绑、残害、强行限制人身自由或者其他手 段.给家庭成员造成一定伤害后果的行为”。要正确适用这一司法解释,必须准确界定家庭暴力的概念。     

论商业秘密的法律保护

2 0世纪 6 0年代 ,国际商会首先把商业秘密视为工业产权。在知识经济的大背景下 ,商业秘密已成为企业生存、竞争的极其重要的手段 ,加强对商业秘密的法律保护已经成为国内外知识产权制度发展的必然趋势。     

法人制度理论视野下的工会法人资格

在新的历史条件下,工会法人资格问题已经逐渐超出仅仅着眼于保障基层工会在民事活动中的主体地位,保护工会财产等范畴。对于工会来说,明确工会法人的性质,平衡工会法人的权利和责任,逐步扩大工会法人的责任范围,是适应形势发展,解决工会不作为等实践问题,更好地维护职工合法权益的必然要求,同时对完善工会法人资格也具有重要意义。     

对恶意欠薪入罪的法律思考

恶意欠薪入罪正当性的争论没有否定刑法介入在处理极端事件中的突出作用,但刑法对恶意欠薪的规制作用是有限的,有必要对介入范围做出限定。杜绝恶意欠薪现象和对劳动者的薪酬权利给予及时有效的救济是两个层面的问题,刑法的介入只能在第一个层面上解决部分问题,不能因刑法的介入忽视对民事行政制度的完善。欠薪问题的整治是社会系统工程,需要多方面合力。
