Implicated: a review paper on guilt

Abstract

The review article examines three books about modern guilt. Each author comes from a different country: Schlink from Germany, Bruckner from France, and Chiarot from the United States. These works either point to or exemplify the problems implicit in concepts of universal guilt. The article explores ways in which each account reflects particular national preoccupations: the German reckoning with the Nazi past, the reassertion of France's global and historical role, and the American culture wars. The article concludes by recognising the importance of Schlink's impulse to deal with guilt scrupulously within the law, while sharing his doubts as to whether legal ways of dealing with guilt can be entirely adequate.     

Father–child relations in France: Changes in paternal authority in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries

The history of fathers is one of the most suggestive lines of inquiry for understanding adolescents. The power of a father over his children, whether minors or those that had reached their majority, is a simple power, but one that became more complicated. The article assembles the elements needed to illustrate major trends in the long history of paternity. The adoption of the Civil Code in 1804 marked the triumph of a patriarchal system. More than 150 years later, the law of January 4, 1970 abolished paternal authority and replaced it with parental authority. Now, the father could only share parental authority with the mother on the strict condition that he is legally married to her. This seems like a linear movement, but it should be noted that it follows an earlier similar shift.     

Murder Followed by Suicide: A Newspaper Surveillance Study Using the New York Times Index

Abstract: Murder–suicide is a relatively uncommon event but as reported by the New York Times, it has occurred and continues to occur yearly. Previous research has indicated that those who commit murder–suicides tend to be men, are in or have been in an intimate relationship with the victim, victims tend to be women, and a firearm is most likely to be used. This study uses a newspaper surveillance methodology to examine such cases. Articles from the New York Times as found in the New York Times Index were coded, analyzed, and examined. The cases, 166 in total, support the findings from prior research. The trend data was examined by cross tabulations and chi‐square analysis. The findings suggest that murder–suicides are rare events and when they occur they usually involve a male perpetrator and an intimate partner victim who is either a wife or girlfriend with the event occurring in a private home. A firearm is the most commonly used method for both murders and suicides, particularly if there was more than one murder victim. The authors conclude by suggesting that future research should focus on using the forthcoming data resource in the CDC’s National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) to examine the occurrence of murder–suicide.

摩登信徒--论穆时英创作的潜在时代场域

穆时英是现代作家中特别善于吸纳社会思潮的典型之一,他的作品杂糅了左翼、现代主义以及消费文化的神韵。但是他对每一种思潮的吸收都基于形式的借鉴,即出于对摩登的追寻,这可以对他前后期作品中令人困惑的矛盾做出解释,也可从中分析出各种思潮在文学传播中的不同方式。     

区域差异比较与东北三省经济发展的路径分析

区域差异对经济发展影响很大,制约着各地区经济发展的路径选择.我国东南沿海地区人多地少,资源相对缺乏,但交通便利,气候宜人,并且历史上对外交往颇多.因此,改革开放后充分利用外资和技术大力发展外贸、旅游经济,以"大进大出"的外向型经济为主.东北地区在自然、经济基础、文化和历史传统方面与东南沿海地区有着某些相同之处,便于发展外向型经济.但二者又有较大的差别,东北地区人少地多,农林资源丰富,传统产业基础较好,在学习和借鉴东南沿海地区发展方式,努力发展外向型经济的同时,应充分利用本地资源禀赋,经济发展以现代农业和传统工业产业为主渠道,并利用现有科技条件发展相关产业,加强区域内协作,把产品做大做强,打造自己的品牌,走出有自己特色的经济发展道路.

自然的宪法与宪法的自然——解读柏拉图的宪政观

为摆脱人类政治的现代性危机,我们有必要回到古典政治哲学里去,回到柏拉图的世界中寻找宪法的本质,而宪法的本质也正是在于一种组成结构:自然的规律,可以视为其自身的宪法;而宪法的规律,就是要求宪法符合自然。宪法的萌芽,正是在这样的自然基础上诞生的。"宪法是公民的生活规范,宪法的权威根源于民众的生活"。宪政并不是一种形而上的价值构造,而是一种合乎自然的和谐的生活方式。
