爱与真的诉求——《押沙龙,押沙龙!》叙事风格的修辞批评

古典和现代修辞批评在话语研究方面的成果为理解小说《押沙龙,押沙龙!》主要叙述者罗莎的话语风格提供了理论基础。研究发现,罗莎的话语之所以有显著的演说文体特征,是因为人物有强烈地为自己和家人辩护的动机。福克纳通过罗莎法庭辩护般的叙述传递了美国内战后南方女性对爱与正常生活的诉求。     

“国家—社会”框架与中国法学——以“国家法与民间法”研究为切入点

中国法学研究中广泛运用"国家—社会"这一分析框架具有重要的意义,中国法学界目前主要是利用这一框架进行范例研究,论者试图通过这种范例的研究对该框架的效力进行证明,并在打通市民社会两个层面的基础上,在渐进的过程中构建起中国的市民社会或者为实现现代化法治进行论证。"国家法与民间法"研究是中国法学运用"国家—社会"框架取得成果颇多的领域。法学界在运用这一框架时并未保持必要的警醒,对该框架的理论前提或预设很少质疑,而对于框架的作用和限度也没有深刻的把握。站在反思和批判的立场对中国法学研究中的"国家—社会"框架的作用和限度以及相关研究进行检视,并对这一框架背后的理念支撑进行分析,这或许是推进相关研究的一种可能的方向。     

劳动价值论:经济学语境中的现代性话语

对现代性进行理论探讨是现代西方思想运动的基本主题之一。亚当.斯密确立的劳动价值论,既从经济学层面对现代性的合法性进行了辩护,又从"历史深处"凸显了现代性的界限。马克思通过劳动价值论批判,把现代性视为自我否定、自我扬弃的过程,从而在经济学语境中完成了对"现代性"的实践批判和超越。     

知识产权垄断性批判:以激励论为重心

立法和主流观点以激励论为依据,将知识产权设定为一种垄断权,然而,这种纯粹向激励创新倾斜的制度,并不能实现最终促进社会进步的目的。激励论本身以及新的经济理论和现实社会生活证明激励论在知识产权领域的应用是不成功的。知识产权应该仅是一种收益权或征收权,而非垄断权。     

The aesthetic public sphere and the transformation of criticism

This article argues that criticism is fundamental for understanding how culture and politics shape the ambiguous self-interpretation of society. An initial exploration of Habermas's theory of the public sphere reveals that it is inadequately cultural. An alternative is thus offered by discussing the work of Jacobs, and especially his concept of an “aesthetic public sphere”. His insight that nothing is too trivial when it comes to broadening the limits of the public sphere prompts scholars to take into consideration the positive as well as negative aspects of criticism. As a cultural mediation, criticism is shaped by a struggle for recognition that gives rise to the interpretation of its own crisis. The purpose of the article, however, is to propose a more balance account of such predicament. By discussing online criticism, the rise of the “prosumer” and user-generated content, it is argued that there is now a new battle for authority and legitimacy undergoing. This creates the potential for the democratization of criticism, even though this potential has great chance to remain within an inescapable democratic tension.     

Aesthetics and politics in North Korean socialist realist painting: On approved ways of seeing

This paper inquires into aesthetics and politics in North Korean socialist realist painting by way of an examination of North Korean journalist Han Chol Ju's article series “Visit to Korean Art Gallery” and three paintings in Korea Today (2010–2011). The paper explains late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il's national-Stalinist conception of Juche socialist realism in On Fine Art (1991); considers one Korean painting (Chos?nhwa), two oil paintings (yuhwa), and one jewel painting (pos?khwa); and addresses approved ways of seeing in political-aesthetic experience and response in the North Korean situation.     

Terrorism,war and the economy of scale: an interview with Ted Goodnight

Apart from the great debates on the definition of terrorism or its causes, the discussion about whether ‘new terrorism’ can really be considered new or not has become one of the central disagreements in terrorism research. This article will respond to the criticism voiced by some of the proponents of the ‘new terrorism’ idea and reflect on the merits of their arguments. It will emphasis the importance of words and the implication of small predicates such as ‘new’ for the construction of terrorism and our reaction to it.     

国家必须中立么——论桑德尔对政治自由主义的批评

桑德尔就罗尔斯正义理论中的“康德式自我”展开了激烈的批判,部分地导致了罗尔斯对自己理论的修正,即将正义理论限制于政治范围。即便如此,桑德尔仍继续追击,认为政治自由主义的预设政治正当优先于善,仍存在致命的局限。两人的论战围绕着国家的中立性展开。但无论如何,两人都没有否认以“国家中立性”为中轴的既有宪政根本制度,实质上这种分歧相当有限,只能是在诸如政策等层面成立。     

批评的界限:语文分野中的文化选择--关于"汉语批评"的相关思考

批评是理论的实践方式。批评的特点在于表达言说者的态度、观点乃至情感和立场。人类的言说 ,包括了授、受两方 ,并根基于特定的语文约定。在这种约定下 ,言说双方便结成了内外有别的语言共同体 :在内 ,词语相通 ,言说分享 ;及外 ,则筑起语言的分野乃至文化的边界。以这样的观点来看 ,所谓“汉语批评”不过是人类古往今来的多种文化边界之一。     

论法学"现代化范式"危机批判的反讽向度

邓正来先生的<中国法学向何处去>一文是能够提供对我们时代的总体性认识框架并揭示其问题的"标准文本".但这样的一个文本,却无论是在其自身陷入的"类型复制"现象还是对读者思考路径的否定式限定,以及根据其推论出的"中国法律理想图景"的内在性质等诸多方面,都生动地展示了"反讽"概念的丰富内涵.但也正是批判本身的这种矛盾性境遇,却向我们开放出了共商中国法学发展与法制建设未来的动人景观,而这正是我们能够最终走出困局、确立"中国性"的曲线行程的关键步骤,"现代化范式"危机批判的意义由此得以发掘和放大.
