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.     

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.     

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。     

对20世纪50年代中国宪法学基本范畴的分析与反思

一门学科的生命力首先表现在基本范畴与学术规范的确立。宪法学作为研究宪法现象的知识体系,应确立表明其独立学科地位的范畴与学术话语。中国宪法学发展正处于社会转型期,需要认真反思5 0年来宪法学范畴发展的历史过程,以中国社会的发展为背景,建构中国宪法学基本范畴。     

中国民法现代化历程中的三个误区

清末民初开始的中国民法现代化历程,在确立平等、自由、秩序等现代民法精神,构筑当代民法制度发展基本脉络的同时,尚存有一些遗憾与不足,以下三个历史误区更值得关注:民法现代化初期的民法价值理念,不恰当地追随了西方的“权利社会化”思潮;民法现代化历程始终未能摆脱国家本位主义的阴影;民法制度的创制过度突出了“制定法”地位与“法律移植”的作用。为此,我们需要进一步反思这一百年的民法现代化历程之得失,以期重新展望、描绘更为美妙的民法现代化图景。     

Linkages Methodology: No Man is an Island

The paper argues that given the diversity of the field of forcedmigration, research requires a multi-disciplinary approach andan awareness of the multiplicity of interacting factors whichcome into play. It examines two key texts published 20 yearsapart which exemplify the linkages approach. Imposing Aid (1986)studied the developing situation in Sudan as refugees arrivedfrom Uganda in the early 1980s, and showed the unproductivenature of interactions between officials and refugees. Landscapeof Hope and Despair (2005) examined the situation of Palestiniansin refugee camps, where the refugees’ own agency comesup against the structural constraints of camp administrationand the political actions of local and international power holders.     

传递性推理心理效应的研究

传递性推理心理效应是指在进行传递性推理时各种因素对做出演绎结论的影响。传递性推理的心理效应主要包括端点锚定效应、系列位置效应、符号距离效应、一致性效应、转换效应、方向效应。深入研究传递性推理中的心理效应有助于进一步揭示传递性推理机制。在未来的传递性推理研究中要高度重视对心理效应的系统研究。     

预防跨国腐败犯罪对策研究论要

在预防跨国腐败犯罪的具体制度建设层面各国有所不同。结合本国国情进行预防跨国腐败犯罪制度研究,必须重视两方面的制度建设:一是完善本国立法,二是借鉴别国经验。
