This article reflects on the unfinished task of liberation – as expressed in issues of land – and drawing from the work of Franz Fanon and the Durban-based social movement Abahlali baseMjondolo. It locates its reflections in four specific sites of struggle in the City of Tshwane, and against the backdrop of the mission statement of the Faculty of Theology at the University of Pretoria, as well as the Capital Cities Research Project based in the same university. Reflecting on the ‘living death’ of millions of landless people on the one hand, and the privatisation of liberation on the other, it argues that a liberating praxis of engagement remains a necessity in order to break the violent silences that perpetuate exclusion.

AbstractThe article suggests a set of design requirements to orient urban practices of transformation and space management when they work on transition spaces, which are difficult to interpret and classify in accordance with traditional dichotomous categories such as centre/periphery, urban/not urban, open/closed, abandoned/lived, public/private. The first part of the article explains how various disciplines describe and characterise this kind of space, which cannot be described precisely through traditional categories. Literature search indicates how transition spaces have a number of attributes that can be translated into requirements to steer design actions. The examples of urban practices, described in the central paragraphs of the article, quickly show how project actions actualize the requirements that can be inferred both from literature and from the examples themselves. The conclusions summarise the design requirements to transform and manage transition spaces, in order to orient “pioneering urban practices”, thus opening the way to different modes of intervention and offering new insights into the role of designers and users in this particular kind of practice. Promising prospects emerge not only for the design methodology of this type of spaces, but also for the possibility of addressing relevant issues in the current disciplinary debate concerning, on the one hand, the liveability and care of urban spaces and therefore the regeneration of public space, at a time in history when its existence is questioned, on the other hand the effectiveness of the involvement and empowerment of local societies in the processes of space transformation.

AbstractThis article is devoted to the issue of the enforceability in Russia of arbitral awards rendered pursuant to arbitration agreements between Russian companies or state agencies, on the one hand, and private firms operating outside of Russia, on the other. The emphasis is on the enforcement of arbitral awards rendered outside of Russia. Russian statutory law, international treaties to which Russia is a party and Russian court practice are discussed. The enforceability of foreign judicial decisions, as opposed to arbitral awards, in Russia is also briefly discussed.

Chapter Eight provides both an overview of the promise of anarchist cybernetics in relation to radical left social movement organising and a projection of how the principles of anarchist cybernetics may be utilised in understanding the kinds of organisation forms that have come to the fore since the 2011 uprisings. The chapter examines the so-called ‘electoral turn’ and developments in social democratic political parties such as the Labour Party in the UK, Syriza in Greece, Podemos in Spain and ongoing contestations in the Democratic Party in the US. Doing so, the chapter looks at, on the one hand, where horizontal forms of organising operate within these kinds of structures and, on the other, the limits on the power of horizontal, grassroots organising that come from its engagement with these typically structurally hierarchical organisations. The chapter makes the case for anarchist cybernetics as a way of articulating the limits of party forms of organisation and, more practically, in designing organisational and communication structures within such organisations to aid democracy and participation.

There are two opposite views about the relation of collective emotions and normativity. On the one hand, the philosopher Margaret Gilbert (1997, 2002, 2014) has argued for years that collective emotions are by constitution normative as they involve the participants’ joint commitment to the emotion. On the other hand, some theorists especially in sociology (Durkheim 2009, 2013a; Collins, 2004) have claimed that the values of particular objects and/or social norms originate from and are reinforced by collective emotions that are intentionally directed or associated with the relevant objects or actions. In this chapter, I discuss these opposing views about the relation of collective emotions and normativity, defending the latter view. While collective emotions typically emerge in situations in which some shared value or concern of the participants is at stake, I suggest that collective emotions may also ontologically ground norms in the manner suggested by Durkheim. I present support for this view from a recent sociological case study on the emergence of punitive norms in the social movement Occupy Geneva.

Principle Of Legality

AbstractThis article focuses on the approaches of international criminal judges to using external precedent, distinguishing between the appraisal-based and flexible approaches. On the one hand, the appraisal-based approach refers to uses of external judicial decisions which are preceded by an express legal appraisal. On the other hand, the flexible approach denotes a less stringent use of such decisions. It finds that, in a number of cases, international criminal judges have adopted a flexible approach to decisions and have assimilated them within the legal framework of the referring court or tribunal without the necessary adjustment. This may have important implications for the principle of legality and the fairness of the proceedings. The paper indicates that the adoption of either the appraisal-based or flexible approaches to external judicial decisions is not necessarily linked to the specific legal backgrounds of the judges involved, and different judges hailing from varying legal backgrounds have shifted between these approaches in different cases. This suggests that there is need for greater rigour in the judicial methodology for using external judicial decisions and, in particular, the importance of the appraisal-based approach to using such decisions, to ensure their the congruence with the legal framework of the referring court or tribunal.

This article critically questions the popular idea of hope as a motivating emotion as well as the more specific idea of hope as engendering solidary ties. Both notions can be found in social movement research and will be introduced in the first section. The idea that hope is such an activating force that binds people together is challenged by reports of some survivors of Nazi concentration camps. In the second part I will turn to a selection from the writings of Tadeusz Borowski and Ruth Klüger, both of whom survived Auschwitz. They emphasize that it was (besides other factors) the prisoners’ hope that isolated them from each other and which prevented them from undertaking acts of resistance against their tormentors. In the third and main section a close reading of Friedrich Torberg's novel Vengeance is Mine will help to identify particular features of such numbing forms of hope. Although fictitious, this novel broadens our understanding of hope by revealing two social dynamics encouraging hopes that have isolating effects and that induce passivity. I will close with reflections on how these negative accounts of hope can be integrated into a general conception of hope. I suggest differentiating between two meanings of hope: the one refers to ideas of a better future, the other one to the ways by which such futures may be achieved. It is useful to distinguish these two meanings analytically in order to understand the empirically different forms of hope.

Georg Leistner's short monograph on the publication of appellate judicial decisions in Western Europe undoubtedly deserves more attention than it seems to have received in the fifteen months or so since its appearance in late 1975. In a careful and methodical way it describes the publication process of appellate decisions in ten major Western European countries, the percentage of decisions selected for publication, and the major selection criteria prevailing in the respective countries. In this sense, Leistner's work achieves the status of a highly useful reference source on law reporting in Western Europe and fills in the void left open by the various legal bibliographies of Western Europe on the one hand and description of their judicial systems on the other (e. g., Council of Europe. Judicial Organization in Europe. London: Morgan-Grampian Ltd., 1975) which, as a rule, do not address themselves to these questions. Furthermore, as the topic of law reporting has hitherto been more or less neglected in Europe, Leistner may rightly be considered a pioneer in this area, and his work enjoys the qualities of original research extending beyond mere descriptive reporting. In any event, there is just too much valuable information in this work to allow it to fade into obscurity.

The role of autophagy and vesicular trafficking in carcinogenesis, including melanoma, is ambiguous: on the one hand, they contribute to the maintenance of intracellular homeostasis and the tumor progression, on the other hand, they can initiate cancer cell death. These processes have a significant impact on the metabolism of melanoma cells and could be associated with metastasis, tumor growth and progression. The review examines the mechanisms of autophagy and vesicular trafficking and presents the modern literature data demonstrating the role of the intracellular transport system in oncogenesis and melanoma development. A literature search was performed in the PubMed database.

This article aims to explain why organized queer activism emerged in Aceh, but could endure only in about six years (from 2008 to 2014). It is argued that this has mainly caused by massive expansion of ‘shari‘a spheres’ since 2001 supported by national and local government and parliament legal-political back up and societal religio-cultural forces on the one hand, and weak nature of the queer movements as counterpublics, characterized with the inadequate resources mobilization, especially in leadership and in getting support from its social movement communities during the crises on the other hand. Shari‘a, which is heteronormative, have been used as discursive and embodied disciplinary power of sexuality for normalizing and excluding the queer (including lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender/LGBT). Their organized visibility triggered the issuance of the Qanun Jinayah in 2014, which includes punishment for same-sex activities. It caused them to dissolve their own queer organizations.
