Transcending binaries in critical peacebuilding scholarship to address ‘inclusivity’ projects

Abstract

In light of the recent turn to ‘inclusivity’ in peacebuilding practice, this article problematises established ways of ‘doing critique’ in peacebuilding scholarship. Inclusivity refers to the building of peace as a situated and co-constituted process. This entails what can be termed a new epistemic commitment: the acknowledgement that peacebuilding as a dynamic and emergent phenomenon is also an epistemically co-constituted process. In the article, I make two arguments. First, the move towards inclusivity places currently dominant modes of scholarly critique at an impasse. Persistent ontological and epistemological binaries preclude a productive investigation and challenging of inclusivity projects and their epistemic commitment. Second, I argue that, by returning to historical conditions that were formative in the very emergence of the category of ‘the local’, the conceptual basis of an alternative mode of critique (re)appears. This alternative critical project allows for an analytical sensibility to peacebuilding as emergent and adaptive. It makes it possible to disentangle power relations as these emerge between different and possibly unexpected configurations of actors and knowledge claims in inclusivity projects.     

绩效管理视角下独立学院促进教师个人知识共享策略研究

教师共享个人知识不仅有助于提高独立学院教师的教学能力,还有助于改善学生的教学满意度。文化价值观、教师绩效等级划分方法、个人知识特点等因素阻碍了教师个人知识共享。为了促进教师个人知识共享,该文提出,独立学院要重视对关系绩效的考核以改善文化价值观,尽量采用360度绩效考核方法,认真对待绩效反馈面谈,采用绝对标杆法划分教师绩效等级。     

人工智能算法可专利性探析——从知识生产角度区分抽象概念与具体应用

人工智能算法的客体属性是人工智能技术可专利性问题的核心。根据方法发明专利保护的发展历史可知,方法可专利性判定的原则应当是考察权利要求作为一个整体是否构成对抽象概念的具体应用。同时,历史的经验还表明,目前主流测试标准的实质要求均只构成该原则的充分不必要条件。具体适用该原则时,相比于已有区分标准,从知识生产的角度能够更有效地界分抽象概念和具体应用。根据这一标准,人工智能算法属于对抽象概念的具体应用。这样,人工智能技术的可专利性问题就转化为对抽象概念实际应用程度的阈值设置问题。鉴于行业发展现状、专利法的立法目的、我国现阶段的战略规划和法制环境,应当给予人工智能算法专利保护。     

印度传统知识数据库治理体系动态及启示

通过十多年的发展,印度建立了全球最为齐全、完善的传统知识数据库治理体系。以传统知识数字图书馆、人民生物多样性注册系统为典型代表的传统知识数据库为印度传统知识保护提供切实助力,并使其成为世界上传统知识保护最为成功的国家之一。对印度传统知识数据库治理体系动态研究,有助于对我国中医药传统知识数据库领域现状和问题进行评估与反思并提出完善建议。印度传统知识数据库创设、运营和治理具有"公共利益导向、法律机构保障、符合数据伦理、循序持续推进和允许多方参与"等经验,但也存在"缺乏统一数据收集、整理、登记和归档标准""运营实施操作规则仍有待具体明确"等问题。结合印度相关领域先进经验和存在的问题,在检视我国中医药传统知识数据库创设、运营和治理领域存在"公共利益维护缺失、行政监管体制与法律配置不当"等缺陷的基础之上,提出如下建议:创设提供"在先技术"功能的传统知识专门数据库,制定中医药传统知识数据库搜集、整理、登记和归档行业标准,完善中医药传统知识法律保护实施细则与设置行政主管部门与行政监督管理体制,规范约束中医药传统知识数据库商业经营行为,鼓励数据库运营商自行创设运营实施操作规则等。     

“作为区域研究的日本学”在中国——兼论其意识形态机制

文章在梳理"区域研究"这一概念的基础上,总结了"作为区域研究的日本学"在中国的现状,并对其中的意识形态机制进行了认识论上的分析,认为区域研究的跨学科性所带来的超越性视点和对知识结构的反思性批判思维乃是日本学作为"区域研究"获得成功的关键所在。     

Left–right ideology as an inferential device in multiparty systems: Can citizens overcome low information by imputing parties' policy positions?

This study examines the extent to which knowledge about parties' ideological Left–Right positions can be used schematically by voters to impute these parties' stances on specific policy issues. Can Left–Right familiarity help citizens, whose knowledge of political and societal issues is often limited, to overcome the low information problem? Based on two Swedish panel studies, we show that - in contrast to the American two-party context – the least knowledgeable voters benefit most from using inferences based on parties' Left–Right locations. The effectiveness of schema-based deduction is thus dependent on its place within a given political culture. In the Swedish multiparty context, the Left–Right dimension is meaningful for most voters, and can be used schematically to partly alleviate a lack of knowledge.     

The diverse domains of quantified selves: self-tracking modes and dataveillance

The concept of self-tracking has recently begun to emerge in discussions of ways in which people can record specific features of their lives, often using digital technologies, to monitor, evaluate and optimize themselves. There is evidence that the personal data that are generated by the digital surveillance of individuals (dataveillance) are now used by a range of actors and agencies in diverse contexts. This paper examines the ‘function creep’ of self-tracking by outlining five modes that have emerged: private, communal, pushed, imposed and exploited. The analysis draws upon theoretical perspectives on concepts of selfhood, citizenship, dataveillance and the global digital data economy in discussing the wider socio-cultural implications of the emergence and development of these modes of self-tracking.     

论知识产权制度的国家责任

经济全球化使知识产权制度成为国家经济政策的一部分.面对全球化的挑战,知识产权制度应当以提升国家创新能力为目标,为更好的实现人权创造基础.知识产权的国家责任体现在两个方面:坚持知识产权的利益平衡,以及创造性地保护我国的优势领域.     

传统知识来源披露产生机理研究

来源披露是传统知识保护的重要内容和方式。对来源披露的产生机理进行研究,有助于厘清来源披露的产生、演进脉络,展析其功能及规则运作,并为构建科学合理的来源披露体系奠定基础。在其机理的细化上,可以分为衍生机理、功能机理、运作机理,各机理有机联系和辩证统一,共同构成来源披露的产生机理体系。     

居正法律教育思想述略

居正的法律教育思想主要包括昌明法学、重视学校教育、司法者“进德修业”和普及法律知识四个方面。在昌明法学方面,他认为法学的发达依赖于与政治、经济等学科的结合,注重通过发挥法学会的功能而繁荣法学;在学校教育方面,他施行对法律院系的课程、考试进行监督的制度和对法律教育成绩突出者予以奖励的制度,扶持私立法律院校的发展;在职业培训方面,他注重法官的“进德修业”,力争使法官们既有“深刻的学问”,又有“守正不阿”的精神;在普法方面,他强调民众法律意识的培育和守法习惯的养成,主张通过让民众参与到司法实践中去的方式传播法意。
