历史唯物主义与中国改革发展——当代语境下的恩格斯晚年书信诠释

社会现代化境遇中,重读恩格斯的晚年书信有助于挖掘其思想的当代价值。从社会哲学的逻辑定位看,社会发展作为一个整体,"四位一体"战略格局中的经济、政治和文化等各个领域的改革发展是有机统一的:经济发展方式的转变会进一步解放和发展生产力,会促进经济领域的改革发展,最终为政治、文化等领域改革发展提供坚实的物质基础;民主政治建设与文化改革发展的及时跟上,对经济体制改革的纵深推进有巨大反作用,从而为破解当前的经济发展方式转变难题提供新动力和赢得制度保障;文化的改革发展释放了文化生产力,文化产业将成为国民经济新的增长点,为转变经济发展方式提供新契机。     

著作财产权客体结构中的使用行为——审视著作权法权利作用“焦点”的一个阐释进路

知识产权客体是一种多重构造体系,除涵盖知识产权处分客体(知识产权利益)以外,还存在知识产权支配客体(使用行为)与行为客体(抽象物)之分。就著作财产权而言,权利作用"焦点"的行为客体路径更多制造的是表述模糊的历史性概念,在权利边界的设定方式上难以限定,并不能一劳永逸地解决著作财产权的权利作用"焦点"困境。著作财产权的支配权能并非指向独占之作品,而是限制他人对作品的某些使用行为。支配客体(使用行为)路径始终贯穿于著作财产权的权利作用"焦点"思路当中。在反思著作财产权的支配客体,对使用行为进行定性与价值判断时,应避免时下"合理使用"原则、"三步检验法"传统规则的价值偏向与闭合趋势。使用行为的"商业性"和"公开性"(即"公"、"私"区分)作为"合理使用"原则、"三步检验法"等使用行为定性及价值判断基准仍具有重要的补充和参考作用。     

论我国鉴定人屏蔽作证制度的法理基础

新《刑事诉讼法》规定,鉴定意见应经质证才能作为定案依据.这一刚性规定促使鉴定人必须履行出庭作证义务,从而提高了鉴定意见证据效力对质证程序的依赖程度,鉴定人出庭作证制度的完善就格外重要.鉴定人屏蔽作证方式为这一问题的探寻提供了微观视角,我国已经存在证人屏蔽作证的司法实践,但是对于鉴定人屏蔽作证的正当性还存在争议,而这些争议实质上是鉴定人屏蔽作证与传统诉讼法原理的冲突与解决,具体反映在鉴定人屏蔽作证应当遵循的原则、程序设置、配套措施等方面.

Grounds for self-government? Changes in land ownership and democratic participation in Chinese communities

Do variations in land ownership affect people’s democratic participation? Quantitative, cross-country research on this topic suffers from the non-comparability of regulatory systems and cultures, and the use of crude indicators to identify participation. This study attempts to overcome these methodological problems, by employing indicators of procedural and substantive participation in a structured, diachronic comparison of qualitative data from five sites in China – an authoritarian state, which, however, requires residents of urban communities and villages to participate in ‘self-government’. It examines whether and why changing land from collective ownership to state ownership, and residents’ compensated acquisition of cash and secure, fungible assets, strengthens or weakens participation in self-government. In the research sites, collective land ownership is found to stimulate participation in self-government. Transformation of the land to state ownership and people’s acquisition of private property weakens participation. The robust results of the study support the direction of a causal argument that collective land ownership is conducive to democratic participation. These findings imply that scholars and policymakers should consider the potentially adverse political consequences of changing land ownership. A further implication is that, absent substantial political reform, an urbanized China might be less rather than more democratic at the community level.     

Hearing the voice of Donbas: art and literature as forms of cultural protest during war

This paper analyzes literary, visual, and street art works of writers and artists from Eastern Ukraine produced during 2014. Two Donetsk artists, Serhii Zakharov and Anzhela Dzherikh, and two Luhansk writers, Serhii Zhadan and Olena Stepova, play with the myth of the proletarian Donbas, on the one hand, and debunk the popular perception of Donbas people as being in consent with the politics of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, on the other. They explore familiar tropes and images of Donbas and use guerrilla tactics (shock effects, provocativeness, and deception) to initiate public reaction to the war. Their works are united by their search for a shared communication space and direct access to the audience on occupied territories. These artists challenge the accepted perception of Donbas as a free but uncivilized space and participate in the creation of a new Donbas text. The interaction between politics, art, and activism makes their voices and vision powerful and infectious and can help achieve civic consolidation in Donbas.     

从形式回归走向实质回归——对婚姻法与民法关系的再思考

以《民法通则》的颁布为标志,从立法上宣告了我国婚姻法向民法的回归。婚姻家庭关系在本质上是一种私的关系,无论是从婚姻法的角度还是从民法的角度,都可以得出婚姻法属于民法（私法）以及民法（私法）包含婚姻法的结论。长期以来,婚姻法向民法的回归仅仅停留于形式,由此制约了婚姻法学的纵深发展,也妨碍了私法体系的统一完整。在法典化的背景下,实现婚姻法向民法的实质性回归,是关于婚姻法与民法关系的唯一正解,也是制定具有逻辑性、体系性和科学性的中国民法典的必由之路。
