Articulating the threatened suffragette body: suffragette embroidered cloths worked in Holloway Prison, 1911–1912

ABSTRACT

In public archives there are a number of hand-embroidered cloths worked by suffragettes incarcerated in Holloway Prison between 1911 and 1912. Denied political status, some of the embroiderers used the hunger strike as a political tool and were forcibly fed. In this paper the embroideries are reframed as material and discursive evidence of suffragette prison experiences. The material narratives of the embroidered cloths are traced, drawing on a dialogue between critical theory, material object enquiry, practice as research and the work of contemporary textile practitioners. Embroidering by suffragettes is explored as an embodied and situated ‘thread act’ that materialised the making of networks, the need for protection of the body and mind, the powers and dangers of boundary crossing, and proto-political thinking.     

略论刑法微课的设计与应用

在“互联网+”时代,线上与线下相结合的混合式教学的优势日益凸显。微课以微型教学视频为主要载体,作为一种情景化、支持多种学习方式的微型在线视频网络课程已成为混合式教学模式的“标配”。目前,刑法教学仍然停留在传统的讲授式教学阶段,教学方式单一,教与学的效率都不尽人意。微课具有学习方便、知识点集中、短时长、可视化等特点,对于克服当下刑法教学中存在的诸多不足具有很强的针对性。刑法微课实效的充分发挥源于对微课的正确认识、科学设计及合理应用。     

论加强对高校大学生法律行为的教育

为实现高校培养新型人才的目标 ,高校对大学生进行法律行为教育势在必行。法律行为的可变性和社会性是法律行为教育理论依据的关键 ,应采取多种方式加强对高校大学生法律行为的教育。     

简论诉讼权利平等原则

诉讼永恒的生命基础在于其公正性,而诉讼平等,作为与诉讼公正同等重要的概念之一,则被视为实现诉讼公正的必由之途或形式标志。文章在界定诉讼权利平等原则内涵之后,讨论了与诉讼平等相关的两个问题:诉讼中立与实质平等。在此基础上,作者进一步分析了诉讼立法中有违诉讼平等的几项缺失,如被告人答辩无限制性规定等。最后提出了改进的基本思路。     

INTRODUCING PERSPECTIVES IN FAMILY LAW AND SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH

This article provides an editorial introduction to the following three related articles on the growing use and influence of social science research in family law. It first considers why this has become problematic and identifies some common strategies used by advocates, sometimes under the guise of scholarship, to destroy the standing of research findings contrary to their ideological or political position. Then it discusses briefly the remedies proposed to mitigate these kinds of problems within the following three articles.     

The Concept of Appropriation and The Offence of Theft

The English law of theft is confusing and problematic in principle. Since the introduction of the Theft Act 1968 there has been inconsistency in the interpretation of appropriation as court and commentators have grappled with the intuition that appropriation must entail some subjective element and cannot be purely objective. Although subjectivity is traditionally associated with culpability rather than with conduct, it is argued that some acts can be subjective and yet factual and stand as causes to effects. Appropriation is such an act, its necessary and sufficient condition being a mindset, here termed proprietary subjectivity, on the part of the actor. It is argued that clarification of the concept of appropriation can help to resolve misperceived problems. Such clarification will also reveal other problems in the law of theft. Some tentative comments de lege ferenda are made suggesting how these problems can be addressed.     

中国青年志愿者行动与和谐社会的构建

党的十六届四中全会提出了构建社会主义和谐社会这一新的重要命题。中国青年志愿者行动在观念弘扬、实践运作、组织模式以及公民意识的培养上对我们构建社会主义和谐社会做出了可贵探索。在构建社会主义和谐社会视阈下认识和评估中国青年志愿者行动,不仅对于中国青年志愿者行动的发展具有指导意义,而且对于社会主义和谐社会的构建也有着非常重要的探索价值。     

法律经济学学科构建探析

法律经济学是法学和经济学的一种新的研究方法。法律经济学的发展史也印证了法律经济学是研究方法创新的结果。法律经济学从萌芽、初创、产生到发展,历经两个多世纪的演化,有着丰富的理论和实践研究成果,被冠以不同的称谓、被赋予丰富的内涵。法律经济学的概念具有多元化、动态、法学与经济学相结合的本质特征。     

网络时代下教学模式的改变

在网络时代下,要求教学模式从传递型教学转变为研究型教学。研究型教学要求学生变被动学习为主动学习。在研究型教学模式下,也要求教师从知识的灌输者转变为为学生主动学习而服务的组织者、指导者、帮助者和促进者。因此,以研究型教学模式开展教学要面对一些和传递型教学模式下所不同的问题。     

一起特殊的确权诉讼案

基金实际设立并不是启动确权诉讼的先决条件,按照现行法律的规定,即使基金尚未设立,债权登记和确权诉讼也必须进行。那么基金最终并未审理,已进入审理程序的确权诉讼该如何处理呢?法律对此并未作具体规定。通过对这起特殊确权诉讼案件的分析,详尽论述了这一问题的处理方式,指出了立法上的缺陷并对如何完善立法提出了见解。
