On the creation of indigenous subjects in the Russian Federation

For many of Russia's poorest people, and especially for the officially recognized ‘indigenous small-numbered peoples’, neoliberal reforms following the collapse of the Soviet Union represented a major retrenchment in ‘social citizenship’ as defined by T.H. Marshall. However, some reforms also promised increased civil, political and cultural citizenship rights, which Russia's indigenous peoples have sought to realize through new legislation and appeals to international agreements regarding the rights of indigenous peoples. But with Russia's current economic and political course geared towards maximizing revenues from the extraction and sale of natural resources, Russia's indigenous peoples have been frustrated in their efforts to realize these citizenship rights, particularly in their attempts to assert rights to land and resources through legal means. This paper draws on case studies from southern Siberia to discuss first how Russia's identity politics and an international focus on indigenous peoples have combined to create indigenous subjects in the Russian Federation, and second how the anticipated transition from indigenous subjects to indigenous citizens has for the most part failed to materialize.     

"人的主体性"原理对思想政治工作的方法论意义

马克思主义“人的主体性”原理是思想政治工作的理论基础之一 ,为面向新世纪的思想政治工作的创新发展提供了新的思维向度。思想政治工作应注重把握“人的主体性”的有关规律 ,并在理论与实践的创新发展中自觉遵循这些规律。思想政治工作应该在正确引导人们先天属性进步的基础上 ,着重培养和塑造人们的后天属性 ,应抑制破坏的主体性 ,倡导建设的主体性 ,肯定重复的主体性 ,激发创造的主体性 ,应以尊重人们的基本需要为起点 ,以促进人类的全面发展为使命。     

历史认识客观性的价值论诠释

历史认识的客观性问题是历史哲学认识论的难点和焦点问题。马克思主义历史哲学肯定历史认识可以达到对历史事实正确反映的客观性。非理性、价值因素参与认识过程使历史认识呈主体性。历史认识对象的特殊性和认识主体的时代局限性决定历史认识的客观性是相对的。     

规范性、主体性与德育价值观的辩正

德育要实现社会发展价值与个体发展价值的统一,关键是规范性与主体性的统一.但学界过去对屯此所作的论证由于基于"社会一规范性"、"个体一主体性"这种简单对应对立的思维模式,因而并未找到二者有机统一的内在机理.从道德的根本属性上看,一定时代的普遍伦理、一定文化的核心价值和一定阶级的价值导向以及个体人格理想的规范性同类的主体性、文化与阶级主体性和个体主体性在其内部结构层次上是交互统一的.为确立上述德育价值观在市场经济中的实践形态,应对传统内容派和现代形式派德育模式作辩证分析,从认识、实践、审美的角度对德育中的主客体关系进行全面理解和运用,把主体性资源的开发同道德价值的规范结合起来.

论幸福本性

快乐的心理体验是幸福的主观形式 ,是幸福的主观本性 ;人的需求之满足和生存发展之完满则是幸福的客观内容。如果一个人感到快乐而幸福 ,是因为他的需要、欲望、目的得到了真实的实现 ,那么 ,他的快乐的心理体验之幸福的主观形式与他的需要得到实现和生存发展达到完满之幸福的客观内容便都是真实的。幸福的真实性是主观形式与客观内容相一致的本性。反之 ,如果一个人因为他的重大的需要、欲望、目的得到了虚幻的实现 ,那么 ,他的快乐的心理体验之幸福的主观形式与他的重大需要得到实现和生存发展达到完满之幸福的客观内容便是不一致的。因主体不同而不同的幸福是相对的幸福 ;不依主体而转移的幸福是绝对幸福     

The Sovietization of Lithuania after WWII: modernization,transculturation, and the lettered city

ABSTRACT

This article approaches the Sovietization of the Baltics in the light of two critical notions developed by the noted Latin American critic Angel Rama: “narrative transculturation” and “the lettered city.” By revisiting key moments in the development of Soviet Lithuanian culture and intellectual class against a backdrop of forced collectivization, urbanization, and modernization, the article aims at a novel interpretation of what Sovietization meant in the Lithuanian context, the significance of de-Stalinization and cultural modernism during the Thaw in the 1960s, and the cultural preconditions for the emergence of the popular movement against Soviet rule in the late 1980s.     

Managing anxiety: neoliberal modes of citizen subjectivity,fantasy and child abuse in New Zealand

The neoliberal direction of social policy under New Zealand’s fifth National government (2008–) is demonstrated in its 2012 White Paper for Vulnerable Children. This document advocates increased monitoring and policing of welfare populations and the downgrading of child protection policy to a technical administrative system for managing ‘risky’ families. The White Paper’s release came soon after the coroner’s report into the deaths of the ‘Kahui twins’, which were treated by the media as a shocking case of child abuse, and exemplified the media’s use of a fantasy of a ‘savage’ Maori welfare underclass in reporting cases of child abuse. Drawing on Isin’s analysis of ‘governing through neurosis’, this article explores how these media and policy discourses reinforce normative patterns of neoliberal citizen subjectivity by offering compelling pathways out of anxiety that re-route citizens’ anxiety over child abuse in support of neoliberal modes of citizen subjectivity.     

Who are the ‘international community’? Development professionals and liminal subjectivity

ABSTRACT

This article explores international development space at the micro-level through the career stories and discursive representations of three aid workers—two nationals, one expatriate—who worked together on the same project in Tajikistan in 2008–9. Findings bear witness to the ‘liminal subjectivity’ of development where professional aid workers are, vocationally and socially, culturally and politically, neither domestic nor foreign. Aid workers’ careers demonstrate the resilience of ‘the international’ in contemporary humanitarian practice. At the same time, their biographies are not easily sutured into emergent cosmopolitanism as they remain encumbered by the boundaries of the national and international. Moreover, the article demonstrates that, while the rhetoric of international development and its putative leaders are criticized within the community itself, the international community may be formed by subordinate individuals in their liminal subjectivities.     

片面共犯能否纳入共同犯罪之我见——从犯罪构成的角度说

片面共犯能否在我国刑法制度中得到肯定一直是一个争论不休的话题。根据刑法第25条有关共同犯罪的规定必然是否定片面共犯。然应从“共犯”中“共同”的本质入手,突破原有法条所形成的思维禁锢,从犯罪构成要件的四个方面进行分析,将片面共犯作为一种特殊形式纳入共同犯罪。
