Hearts of Darkness: white women write race

Abstract

In an effort to popularise the gas stove, boost sales and minimize the genuine and perceived dangers of using this volatile domestic appliance, late Victorian gas managers and stove manufacturers employed female cookery teachers to perform public demonstrations at trade exhibitions throughout the country. Eventually, these women comprised a special department of gas sales, calling directly on customers in their homes to offer personal instruction in the proper use and care of gas stoves. Part social workers, part salesgirls, the ‘lady demons’, short for lady demonstrators, moved between the traditionally gendered separate spheres of work and home, consciously constructing a professional image that reconciled the social tensions of this new occupation. They offer an early example of women's entrance into the corporate business world, the feminisation of consumption, and the combination of customer service with social welfare.

邓小平经济民主思想与我国市场经济法制建设

邓小平经济民主思想的形成经历了三个阶段 ,其内容是市场主体多元化和经营民主化、政府管理经济民主化、经济体制运行民主化和市场主体内部管理民主化。在这一理论指导下 ,我国在市场主体、市场行为、市场体系、市场调控与管理、市场保障和市场经济程序等方面创制法律 ,初步形成我国社会主义市场经济法律制度框架。     

对公安机关具体行政行为的探讨

公安机关作为国家行政机关的重要组成部分,由于其自身的特殊性,决定其不但拥有行政执法的职能,同时还具有刑事执法的职能。另外,公安机关是一个独立的机关法人,因而还具有民事法律行为。实践中这几种不同的法律行为有时互相交织在一起,使得行为的性质难以认定。由于不同的法律行为引起的侵权行为需要通过不同的法律途径予以解决,所以就必须对公安机关的具体行政行为有一个比较明确的认识。
