Utopia in Crisis? Subaltern Imaginations in Contemporary Bihar

Abstract

The Subaltern Studies Collective inaugurated an important point of departure in Indian historiography and social sciences by demanding that attention be directed to subalterns (a term adapted from Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks) as makers of their own destinies. Their scholarship raises three issues, which are discussed in this article. The first of these relates to the empirical observation about subaltern resistance to elites. The second pertains to the analytical dichotomy between elite and subaltern modes of conducting politics. The third centres on the valorisation of a putatively coherent fragment that seeks autonomy from the totality of the state. The fundamental problem with the perspective advanced by the subaltern studies scholars stems from their implicit assumption that utopian ideals centred on reclaiming dignity and asserting social equality are necessarily derivative of European Enlightenment ideals.     

论我国劳动教养立法完善的必要性

劳动教养作为一项有中国特色的法律制度,自1957年创立以来,教育、感化、挽救了大批违法犯罪人员。然而,随着我国法治进程的加快,劳动教养制度越来越不能适应社会的需要,在立法等诸方面都明显滞后于社会的发展。因此,完善劳动教养立法,使劳动教养有法可依,具有非常重大的现实意义。     

Migration Pessimism and the Subjective Well‐Being of Migrant Households in Mexico

A new migration pessimism argues that the economic benefits of international labour migration for migrant households may not justify the social costs. This article provides a test of this argument based on the author's survey of 304 households in Jerez municipio (municipality), Zacatecas, Mexico, in 2009. The results indicate that active households (those with at least one migrant abroad) perceived their economic situation to have improved more, but both their social cohesion and their happiness to be less than those of non‐active households. Social cohesion (family unity and maintenance of values) is shown to be pivotal in the happiness differential enjoyed by the non‐active households.

Racialisation of Immigrants at Work: Labour Mobility and Segmentation of Peruvian Migrants in Chile

This article explores the emergent racialisation of Peruvian migrants as one element conditioning the labour segregation that characterises Peruvian insertion in Chile. We understand racialisation as a process of construction of categories in which both individual and collective actors participate, and whose expression is demonstrated by the differentiation and inequality that affects the racialised group. We tackle the articulation of racial differences among individual actors, both Chilean employers and Peruvian migrant workers, to suggest that the attribution of naturalised characteristics to migrants is related to segregation, mobility, and specific trajectories in the labour market.

我国人民调解协议司法确认制度的考察

从人民调解协议的效力方面看,我国人民调解协议司法确认制度的源流体现在主要依靠当事人自觉履行的人民调解协议、具有民事合同性质的人民调解协议、部分人民调解协议具有法律约束力的探索、人民调解协议司法确认制度的立法确立等。我国人民调解协议司法确认制度的现行规定及其适用存在不少问题,需要从增加申请人民调解协议司法确认的主体、理顺关于人民调解协议司法确认管辖法院的规定、确定人民调解协议的司法审查方式、明确人民调解协议司法确认后的法律后果等方面继续完善我国人民调解协议司法确认制度。

浅议中俄劳务合作存在的问题和发展趋势

中国与俄罗斯在经济结构上有很强的互补性,多年来双方通过劳务合作各自受益很多。目前两国形势发生变化,俄罗斯对移民政策进行大幅调整,而中国劳动力成本迅速上升,劳务合作企业举步维艰,这些新变化对未来中俄劳务合作将产生重大影响。     

经济法主体论纲

现有的法主体理论注重从外延来界定法的主体,这必然会导致法主体的缺损。法主体的认知逻辑可以是:先从本质层面来界定法主体的内涵,再从现象层面来界定法主体的外延,法主体的外延具有相对的开放性。经济法主体研究在遵循上述认知逻辑的基础上,可追问并扬弃经济法的本体论,立足于解析生产方式的变更所导致的人类社会行为和社会关系的变化并抽象出经济法调整的社会关系——增量利益关系。增量利益源于剩余劳动的创造,可将劳动力权人作为经济法主体的内涵,而将自然人和自然人的组合作为经济法主体外延,并进一步对企业、国家、社会中间层等自然人组合的经济法主体属性进行分析。
