Harmonious Community

In this article, we advocate the adoption of ‘more temporal and processual characters’ to understand contemporary community governance in China. We show that communities in China are seen both as producing moral problems and as being the solutions to these problems. Furthermore, we argue that the establishment of the moral clinic provides an alternative to neoliberal ways of self-governance. In the article, we present moral clinics as a new form of community self-governance whose aim is to achieve a complex balance between various conflicts in the context of China’s unprecedented urbanisation in the name of governing for and through community harmony. Through examining the establishment of moral clinics, we expose how the relationship between the moral ‘hospitalisation’ of society and the socialisation of individuals can be understood in new ways. We argue that the institutionalisation of this ‘moral work’ is a strategy based on old techniques of Chinese traditional medicine that are being enhanced by modern organisational settings. In addition, we examine the micropolitics of the moral clinic through exposing the power relations behind its structural design, and especially its links with the state.

This paper explores the relationship between feminist politics and the state around the issue of domestic violence. Its focus is the refuge movement in Wales. Feminist analyses of the state and feminist political practice identify the state as an important object of struggle. A particular form of feminist politics, the refuge movement, has engaged with the state while retaining its autonomy. It has been instrumental in effecting legal changes which bestow certain rights on women threatened with domestic violence, and in increasing women's access to resources in the form of temporary refuge and permanent housing. Feminist political practice can affect the distribution of resources through engaging with the state, thereby enabling women to challenge the gendered power relations which structure their daily lives.

Age Of Information

In the context of world globalisation, the dominant ideology of capitalism, labour automation, democratization and urbanisation of society, decentralised autonomous organisations are seen as one of the most advanced forms of joint business in the age of information technology. Employees of companies, being at the same time members of civil society, are interested in developing corporate values and social ones. Civil control is beginning to be applied to the state and individual companies, and therefore the relationship between business, government, and society require rethinking.

Following the development of e-literature and the state of research on the subject both in Poland and abroad, the author attempts to outline research perspectives for e-poetics. This discipline, barely over twenty years old, concerns the study of literary texts that are created with the use of digital technologies. Hypertextual works available online and via digital carriers are characterized by intermediality and interactivity, and they differ from printed literature in that computers are indispensable tools for their creation, existence and reception. What are the consequences of this change of medium for literature, its structure, the process of communication with the reader and the interpretative possibilities? How can one describe the relationship between the old and the new form of a literary text? Finally, why is it important to introduce research on electronic literature into academic education?

Abstract<title> Abstract </title>In this article I explore the relationship between faith and reason among the early Christianities. The approach here favours the perspective of social history whereby the establishment of claims to a universal and absolute monotheism in Western society is viewed as an outcome of power relations - or an increasingly close alliance among certain of the early Christianities and between these and the state. In this sense, my thesis is that rather than understanding a Judaeo-Christian faith that became Hellenised, we might better speak of a tradition of Hellenic thought that increasingly became theologised under the dominant sway of Christian power. I explicate this thesis from the point of views or theories proposed by Max Weber and supported by Michel Foucault. As such, what follows is an overview of the conventional view of Christianity, an examination of Weber's view, which is followed by my critique of it, and some concluding remarks.

<p>There aredifferences of opinion in looking at the relationship between religion and state. Some proposed that the state should be based on religion (Islam) and others have argued the opposite, the state should be separated from the religion (secular nationalism). The debate is considered complete after the Jakarta Charter formula was agreed, although it was annulled after the legalization of the Constitution on August 18, 1945. History shows that Muslims sacrifice for this country is invaluable both in terms of physical struggle (body and soul) and ideological (Islamic values). So that, returning authority to the Muslim community to determine the direction of development of the country has become a necessity. Through this article, the author would like to express a new form of moral calling on Muslims to contribute to this country, some of them with sincerity impose Islamic lawinto national law.</p> <p>Terdapat perbedaan pendapat dalam memandang hubungan agama dan negara. Ada yang berpendapat negara  harus  berdasarkan  pada  agama  (Islam)  dan  ada  yang  berpendapat sebaliknya,  bahwa negara  harus  dipisah  dari  agama  (nasionalisme  sekuler).  Perdebatan dianggap selesai setelah disepakati rumusan Piagam Jakarta, meskipun kemudian dianulir setelah  disahkannya  UUD  tanggal  18  Agustus  1945.  Sejarah  ini  menunjukkan  bahwa pengorbanan umat Islam untuk negeri ini tidak ternilai harganya baik ditinjau dari segi perjuangan fisik (jiwa raga) maupun ideologis (nilai-nilai keislaman). Dari pengorbanan tersebut,  mengembalikan  kewenangan  kepada  umat Islam  untuk  menentukan  arah pembangunan negara ini menjadi keniscayaan. Karena itu melalui tema ini, penulis ingin mengungkapkan bentuk baru panggilan moral umat Islam untuk memberikan konstribusi terhadap negeri ini, yaitu diantaranya melalui keikhlasan memberlakukan hukum Islam ke dalam hukum nasional.</p>

The Relationship

This article has two purposes: (a) to examine the relationship between intercultural power relations and the widespread practice of accent discrimination and (b) to underscore the ramifications of accent discrimination both for the individual and for global society as a whole. First, authors review social theory regarding language and group identity construction, and then go on to integrate more current studies linking accent bias to sociocultural variables. Authors discuss three examples of intercultural accent discrimination in order to illustrate how this link manifests itself in the broader context of international relations (i.e., how accent discrimination is generated in situations of unequal power) and, using a review of current research, assess the consequences of accent discrimination for the individual. Finally, the article highlights the impact that linguistic discrimination is having on linguistic diversity globally, partially using data from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and partially by offering a potential context for interpreting the emergence of practices that seek to reduce or modify speaker accents.

The current study proposes and refines the Appraisals in Personality (AIP) model in a multilevel investigation of whether appraisal dimensions of emotion predict differences in state neuroticism and extraversion. University students (N = 151) completed a five-factor measure of trait personality, and retrospectively reported seven situations from the previous week, giving state personality and appraisal ratings for each situation. Results indicated that: (a) trait neuroticism and extraversion predicted average levels of state neuroticism and extraversion respectively, and (b) five of the examined appraisal dimensions predicted one, or both of the state neuroticism and extraversion personality domains. However, trait personality did not moderate the relationship between appraisals and state personality. It is concluded that appraisal dimensions of emotion may provide a useful taxonomy for quantifying and comparing situations, and predicting state personality.
