在新的国际秩序中构筑中日关系的新平衡

中日两国在两千多年的交往过程中,双边关系既有处于平衡状态的时期,也有处于平衡状态被打破的时期。而对于中日关系的平衡状态起到巨大影响作用的主要有主客观两种因素。客观因素主要指不断变化的国际和地区秩序;主观因素主要指中日两国的历史记忆。世界金融危机的爆发开启了国际秩序的新的深刻变革,而在新的国际秩序中,中日两国间的新平衡状态也将不会超出准世界大国与经济大国间关系这一框架。而为了进一步促进中日两国间平衡状态的形成,则有必要通过增强"友好记忆",弱化"对立记忆"来改善两国间的历史记忆。     

混合与分离：财产支配权与人身支配权之历史路径

财产支配权与人身支配权由混合走向分离,是财产支配权历史演进中的一条清晰脉络。从罗马法到日耳曼法,再到中世纪欧洲封建制法,财产支配权与人身支配权一直处于混合状态;欧洲封建社会后期,生产力的发展急迫地叩响了二者分离的大门,至资本主义法,二者便彻底走向分离。而在我国,二者混合的历史极其漫长,直至新中国成立才得以彻底分离。

Caddisflies assist with homicide case: determining a postmortem submersion interval using aquatic insects

Although few indicators of time since death for corpses found in aquatic ecosystems are comparable in precision to the insect indicators used in terrestrial cases, there are observations that can be useful in suggesting or ruling out an approximate PMSI (postmortem submersion interval). For example, the time intervals required for certain growth phases of aquatic insects, such as caddisflies, that may attach themselves to the submerged remains can be used to estimate a minimum PMSI. Approximately 8 of the 13 orders of insects containing species with aquatic or semi-aquatic stages are likely to be associated with carrion or corpses in aquatic habitats. We present a case study in which portions of a body from an adult male were discovered in a south central Michigan stream. The body was dismembered and portions were recovered from two bags floating and submerged in the stream. Insect specimens collected from mesh and plastic bags consisted of one fly larva belonging to the family Muscidae, and caddisfly larvae belonging to two families: the Limnephilidae. (case-makers) and the Hydropsychidae, (net spinners). We used unique case-building behaviors of the limnephilid caddisflies found on the remains to elucidate a PMSI range consistent with the disappearance of the victim. It is important for forensic investigators to understand that although some precision is lost in estimating a PMSI with aquatic insects, these organisms should not be ignored in gathering evidence from aquatic crime scenes, and in fact, they can provide valuable details in estimating a PMSI.     

论经济法模型世界的构筑——对经济法理念研究的历程回顾与评价

比之经济法,中国尚无其他法律部门如其般要经历生死存亡的考验,要从附属的阴影下挣扎出自己的独立,欲自立,必自足,经济法要走出被质疑的窘境,惟有通过基础理论的自足而自立。在此精神指引下,经济法理念研究形成了自己的特色:构建观点的现代化、探索视角的多元化和研究方法的创新化。于成就论,经济法理念研究确立了其与时俱进的探索基调,建立了其多音争辩的榷议模式,并开启了其制度指引的转化进程。当然,我们同时也要正视其在成果表现、理念总结、研究界限和探索路径等方面的不足,继续进行深度的研究。     

金融危机的经济法解析

对于全球性金融危机的发生、扩展和解决等重要问题,可以从经济法理论的视角进行解析。其中,金融危机的发生,是源于"两个失灵",它从消极方面体现了加强经济法调整的重要价值;金融危机的扩展,同国内与国外经济、实体与虚拟经济、内部与外部经济等多重二元结构直接相关,需要运用经济法进行"辨证施治";金融危机的解决,同样应当遵循经济法的三大基本原则,明晰相关主体的不同类型法律责任,并通过经济法的各个部门法的综合调整,来促进经济与社会的协调发展。

Borders of memory: affirmation and contestation over Japan’s heritage

Abstract

This essay, introducing the special issue on ‘Borders of Memory’, aims to shed light on the links between memory and heritage in contemporary Japan. It does so by examining how heritage sites serve as spaces within which collective memory is both affirmed and contested. Heritage sites enable us to survey the contours of the borders of memory that exist between different memory collectives. An analysis of South Korean and Chinese objections to the Meiji Industrial Sites shows how these heritage sites work as borders of memory, spaces where the competing collective memories of neighbouring East Asian governments and societies clash and rub up against one another. This analysis is then extended to the four articles that make up this special issue. In each case, it is the competing meanings invested in the site, and the struggle over the narrative within which it is incorporated, that results in such sites coming to be demarcated as borders of memory. Understanding these heritage sites as bordered spaces allows us to see such them as being not only where antagonistic collective memories come into contact, but also spaces through which they connect. The existence of such spaces enables the political process of articulating the stories associated with different memory collectives.

Patriotic history and anti-LGBT rhetoric in Zimbabwean politics

Over the past 20 years, President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and his political party, Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF), have relied heavily on political rhetoric that demonizes lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons. In this paper, it is argued that the anti-LGBT political rhetoric in Zimbabwe is part of a larger program known as “patriotic history,” which emphasizes a particular kind of Zimbabwean identity to legitimize the continued rule of Mugabe and ZANU-PF. The value of combining patriotic history and political homophobia emerges out of the unique political and economic context which Mugabe’s regime found itself unable to adequately address. To illustrate how and why this has happened, the paper focuses on two key incidents: the 1995 Zimbabwe International Book Fair, and the public conversation over writing a new constitution between 2010 and 2013.
