Resignifications and subversive transformations: Judith Butler’s queer theory and women who kill

This article provides an empirical study of a number of cases dealing with women who kill their abusive partners and the construction of the battered woman syndrome in order to identity the possibilities for transformation within the legal system. Drawing upon the work of Judith Butler, the article will argue that the unstable nature of social terms and the nature of social power provides the potential for resignifying and subversively transforming the gender identities constructed and perpetuated by the law. In addition to outlining the defences for murder and engaging in a close examination of the cases, the article will also provide a critical analysis of Judith Butler’s approach to subject formation.

我国城市贫困家庭经济支持网研究 --来自250户贫困家庭的实证研究

贫困人口经济支持网络规模小、紧密度低,实物支持的网络规模略高于金钱支持.在网络关系构成上,亲属关系、地缘关系发挥着重要的作用.由于网络成员与贫困人口在个人社会特征方面同质性较高,所以在现有社会保障制度不够完善的情况下,经济支持网并不能使他们真正摆脱困境,需要引起政府和社会的广泛关注.

Reassessing Portia: The Iconic Potential ofShakespeare's Woman Lawyer

This paper considers the adoption ofPortia, the heroine of The Merchant ofVenice, by feminist legal scholars as ametaphor for the woman lawyer. It suggests thatPortia has both captured and is captured by thefeminist legal scholar's imagination, becomingat once an idol, myth and icon. She is to somethe personification of the woman lawyer'sperceived difference, a mouthpiece for mercyand `the different voice' and to others, a shamor myth, her idolised reputation sullied, her`difference' rejected. Yet ultimately thisconstant and simultaneous idolisation andvilification of Portia threatens not only tosilence and constrain conversations about thewoman lawyer, but also to eclipse her promiseand potential. Thus in the final section of thepaper, Portia is established as an icon. Assuch her story, understood as a myth or fairytale, is seen to reveal previously unimaginedpossibilities for change, as an iconicunderstanding of Portia becomes a windowthrough which feminist legal scholars can lookonto alternative understandings of lawyeringand adjudication.     

适度扩大警察职权 构建行政管束制度——从“疯裸女久卧街头无人问津”谈起

女精神病人久卧街头,警察拒绝救助引发争议。根据《人民警察法》,公安机关有协助救助的义务;依照《城市生活无着的流浪乞讨人员救助管理办法》,对于城市流浪乞讨人员,公安机关不能再强制收容遣送。由于缺乏法律依据,没有行政管束权力,警察无法发挥协助救助的作用。警务实践已经突破警察法建立的框架,迫使我们增加适应社会需要的新的法律规范,适度地扩大警察职权,构建行政管束制度。
