诺齐克的边际道德观述评——兼谈自由主义的个人自由的局限

诺齐克的边际道德是国家和社会组织行为的最大值,并且在该最大值的范围内有效地调节着个人之间自由权的行使,以实现个人最大可能的自由.本文指出了诺齐克的边际道德理论内涵,以及它怎样调节国家组织的行为和个人自由权的实现,并指出了诺齐克理论中存在的一些不足之处.尽管存在这些不足之处,但是不能否认的是诺齐克的边际道德理论确切地为社会和个人提出了一种行为标准,从而丰富了西方的自由民主理论,对社会主义民主的发展也有一定的借鉴作用.

质性研究中的叙述套路:访谈的陷阱与拓展

本文延续\"作为方法的故事社会学\"分析框架,从一个变性人访谈案例入手,把访谈作为实践,将卷入其中的隐形角色与力量进一步搬至台前,明确地从方法学角度提出\"叙述套路\"的概念,并围绕其探讨如下问题:我们应如何认识与界定定性研究中常见的\"叙述套路\"?访谈中的常见套路有哪些?套路有何问题?如何破解套路?在具体分析性/别类访谈案例中的\"归因逻辑\"与\"悲惨叙事\"的基础上,提出重视生活经验复杂性的积极批判思维的重要性以及实践这种思维的可能方法路径。最后,更为扩展地指出,在当下中国的社会情境与学术语境中,对于\"叙述套路\"的认识与挑战之于访谈、方法学、包括性别议题在内的社会科学研究乃至日常生活的意义。     

“It's Like Fighting for Survival”: How Rejected Black African Asylum Seekers Experience Living Conditions in an Eastern German State

This article explores how Black African asylum seekers in an eastern German state experienced living conditions and the forms of agency they exhibited to redress the stressful circumstances of everyday life. The article draws on 12 in-depth interviews with rejected Black African asylum seekers and ethnographic research. Participants experienced various socio-environmental stressors and the absence of resources that affected their well-being and were injurious to their human rights. Their responses were embedded in different practices tied to the accumulation of capital that buffered stress and contested repressive asylum laws. The implications of the study for policy and advocacy are discussed.     

How Do Developers Respond to Land Use Regulations? An Analysis of New Housing in Los Angeles

There is strong evidence that land use regulations constrain housing production. We know less about how real estate developers respond to specific zoning provisions. I compare the characteristics of new multifamily housing with baseline land use regulations in two sets of rail station areas in Los Angeles. I supplement this building-scale analysis with expert interviews. I find that developers were most sensitive to density restrictions and parking requirements. The average development in the Vermont/Western area had 112% of the maximum allowable residential density and 94% of the minimum required parking. Koreatown’s average development had 99% of the maximum density and 88% of the required parking. But, there was variation by area and whether a building was affordable or market rate, apartment or condominium, and by development size. Additionally, regulatory implementation can matter as much as the written regulations themselves. I recommend that cities take an evidence-based approach to reforming regulations and implementation processes.     

‘Living Rights’, rights claims,performative citizenship and young people – the right to vote in the Scottish independence referendum

This paper examines the rights claims-making that young people engaged in during the 2014 Scottish independence referendum when the right to vote was extended to 16- and 17-year-olds for the first time in the UK. Understanding citizenship and rights claims-making as performative, we draw on the novel idea of ‘living rights’ to explore how young people ‘shape what these rights are – and become – in the social world’. They are co-existent and situated within the everyday lives of young people, and transcend the traditional idea that rights are merely those that are enshrined in domestic and/or international law. We explore the complex and contested nature of rights claims that were made by young people as ‘active citizens’ in the lead up to the referendum to illustrate how the rights claims-making by young people is bound up with the performativity of citizenship that entails identity construction, political subjectivity (that challenges adult-centric approaches) and social justice.
