A New Progressive Patriotism

The need to hold capital to account and to bend markets to the common good is as powerful as ever, yet it is becoming steadily harder to create an electoral or political majority for such an idea in societies that are fractured and divided. The fundamental bond between voters and parties depends on political identity relationships; old ones are fading, new ones need to be created. The most dynamic politics in advanced capitalist societies are those of nation, people and place. The strategic challenge for the left is to create a new progressive patriotism that can embed radical ideas in a common sense of national purpose.     

Becoming patriots in Russia: biopolitics,fashion, and nostalgia

The article seeks to explore the common ground between biopolitics, fashion, patriotism and nostalgia. Taking off from the Foucauldian notion of biopolitics as a control apparatus exerted over a population, I provide an insight into the modern construction of the Russian nation, where personal and collective sacrifice, traditional femininity and masculinity, orthodox religion, and the Great Patriotic War become the basis for patriotism. On carefully chosen case studies, I will show how the state directly and indirectly regulates people’s lives by producing narratives, which are translated (in some cases designers act as mouthpieces for the state demographic or military politics) into fashionable discourses and, with a core of time, create specific gender norms – women are seen as fertile mothers giving birth to new soldiers, while men are shown as fighters and defenders of their nation. In the constructed discourses, conservative ideals become a ground for the creation of an idea of a nation as one biological body, where brothers and sisters are united together. In these fashionable narratives, people’s bodies become a battlefield of domestic politics. Fashion produces a narrative of a healthy nation to ensure the healthy work- and military force.     

ECO-SECTARIANISM: FROM ECOLOGICAL DISASTERS TO SECTARIAN VIOLENCE IN SYRIA

This study introduces ‘eco-sectarianism’, which is a new concept that explains the relationship between sectarian violence and environmental pressures in divided societies in the Middle East. Against the backdrop of climate change, ‘eco-sectarianism’ poses a challenge to many fragmented and unequal societies where the sense of national consciousness is weak and nation-building projects are incomplete. This paper draws attention to the links between politicisation of sub-national identities and emerging ecological challenges in Syria.     

天人合一思想的当代诠释学意义

近年来 ,许多学者都注意到天人合一这一中国古代哲学思想蕴含着深刻的生态意义 ,但是 ,几乎都将其解释为天人“同”一而不是天人“合”一或天人“和”一。这种差异是巨大的 ,前者所追求的是自然与人的混沌未分 ,而后者则强调自然与人是分离并矛盾的 ,正因为其矛盾而构成了相互不可或缺的差异协同的互补性整体。

论合同法第43条对商业秘密的保护

理论界一般认为,合同法第43条规定的是非法泄露或者使用缔约过程中知悉的商业秘密行为的缔约过失责任,笔者认为该条规定的不仅仅是一种缔约过失责任,而且是一种侵害商业秘密的侵权责任,所以该条的实质是缔约过失责任与侵权责任的竞合。在救济方法上,该条存在重大缺陷,该缺陷极不利于保护商业秘密权利人的权利,亟待完善。
