“Those Are Our People and That's Our Family”: Wabanaki Perspectives on Child Welfare Practice in Their Communities

In collaboration with the Maine Wabanaki-State Child Welfare Truth and Reconciliation Commission Convening Group, this study explored perspectives of Wabanaki community members and tribal child welfare staff on state child welfare involvement in Wabanaki communities. Qualitative analysis of three focus groups found that participants perceived fundamental differences between what guides the work of tribal child welfare staff and state child welfare staff, as well as differences in understanding the profound impact of removing a child from the community. These findings are suggested to be elements of a Wabanaki counter-narrative that contrasts with the historical dominant narrative about Native families and children.     

论分家习惯与家的整体性——对滋贺秀三《中国家族法原理》的批评

滋贺秀三的《中国家族法原理》,在关于中国古代分家、遗嘱、赠与等财产习惯方面存在着不少误解,这导致他形成了中国家父享有家产所有权的观点。今天,当更多的文书资料特别是徽州文书得以整理面世后,对滋贺秀三著作中存在的问题,似乎有可能提出质疑和讨论了。实际上,中国家长从属于作为整体性的“家”。因为在近代法制转型之前,家产尚未完全分离为个人财产,家长可以管理和增益家产,却不能随意处分。因此,以分家习惯为主线索,围绕滋贺秀三的著作,结合其它财产习惯,对近代中国法制转型之前的家产制进行一个尝试性的探讨颇有必要。     

“首次不罚”制度的法理思考——兼谈行政执法方式的完善

“首次不罚”制度得以合理存在的界域主要是制度实施的必要性与目的设定方面,其实质是将法律赋予执法主体的自由裁量权主动降低为零,但制度本身设计存在很大的不确定性,降低了执法主体的权威性,打破了法律上的平衡,并存在逆向选择的危险,其预期效果并不理想。只有在行政执法工作中坚持执法的原则性,讲究执法的艺术性,增加执法的服务性,方能达致“首次不罚”制度必要性与可行性的有机结合,实现制度设计的初衷。     

临淮淮阴步氏与孙吴政权之关系述论

步骘作为临淮淮阴步氏家族的代表人物,东汉末年避难江东,饱尝艰辛。后来进入孙权幕府,处境不断改善。建安十五年,骘受命领兵入交州,对孙吴疆域的扩大作出了不小的贡献。后来任职荆州,不断举荐士人,坚决反对孙权重用校事吕壹。孙权步夫人“宏冠后庭”,权屡欲立其为后,并引起统治集团上层的激烈纷争。其女全公主凭依孙权的支持,暗中操纵“二宫构争”等一系列政治斗争,步骘则随声附和,不仅使其士节有亏,而且埋下了其家族覆灭的祸根。

The discussion of the qualitative results focuses on changes in court practice and the impact of the initiative on case time.     

Negotiating the caliphate: British responses to pan-Islamic appeals, 1914–1924

This paper considers two aspects of historiography about the 1967 Arab–Israeli War – American and Soviet foreign policy in the region – to better appreciate the Soviet role in the outbreak of hostilities, as well as how the war concretized the US–Israeli ‘special relationship’ and weakened American–Arab relations. Relying especially on research from the Lyndon Johnson Presidential Library and Foreign Relations of the United States, this paper argues that Soviet officials had little interest in pursuing measures to prevent war during the pre-war crisis because the situation promised to undermine American interests in the region.     

“I’m awfully fed up with being a prisoner”* Australian POWs of the Turks and the Strain of Surrender

Nearly 200 Australians were captured and held as prisoners of war (POWs) by Ottoman Turkish forces during the First World War. They have largely been overlooked in Australian history and memory of the conflict with the result that little is known of their time in captivity or of its wider ramifications. In examining the emotional impact of their capture and imprisonment, this article offers intimate insights into how these Australian POWs felt about their captivity, from the moment of surrender until long after the war had ended. The humiliation of capture and confinement at the hands of a culturally, religiously and linguistically different enemy and the restrictions imposed by wartime imprisonment exacerbated the prisoners’ private feelings of shame and failure, feelings that were publicly reinforced in the aftermath of the war as the two dominant narratives of the conflict—the heroic Anzac fighter and the Turks as the honourable enemy—excluded or, at best, marginalised their experiences. Such analysis tells us much about the psychological dimension of wartime captivity, and adds to our understanding of the legacy of this POW experience.     

V—ed的认知阐释与语法教学

依据原型范畴理论,V—ed（英语过去时）分别表过去、表虚拟和表口气委婉的三种不同用法是得益于隐喻概念的形成和使用的,其认知理据为空间上的距离通过人的隐喻认知机制分别被隐喻到时间域、事物或事件的真假性概念和心理认知域。在语法教学中,可以充分应用原型范畴理论。
