ZHANG Deng-Qiao. On Environmental Justice from the Perspective of Human Studies[J]. Journal of Jishou University（Social Sciences）, 2009, 30(3): 1-4.

On the surface level,environmental justice is about the relationship between nature and human beings；in fact,it embodies an interpersonal social relationship,thus it is a social justice.Different levels of environmental justice are rooted in the multiple attributes of human existence.While human class attribute corresponds to global environmental justice,human colony attribute corresponds to colony environmental justice and personal attribute corresponds to individual environmental justice.By “people-oriented” in environmental justice,it is meant that environmental benefits and environmental responsibilities should be fairly shared,and that special attention should be paid to the environmental appeals by the less-wealthy people and people in the less-developed countries and areas.

YANG Sheng-Jun. On the Realization of Environmental Inter-generational Justice——On the Construction of Three Ethical Subjects[J]. Journal of Jishou University（Social Sciences）, 2009, 30(3): 5-9.

The realization of environmental inter-generational justice depends on the holistic moral efforts of human beings,who are the unity of individual subject,group subject and class subject,each playing a corresponding role in the relationship between environment and human beings.To solve the problems of environmental justice between nature and human beings,and the present generation and future generations,these three ethical subjects must be constructed.

LI Ping, LIU Ren-Gui. On the Relationship between Morality and Man from the Perspectives of Hominization Morality and Standard Morality[J]. Journal of Jishou University（Social Sciences）, 2009, 30(3): 10-13.

The relationship between morality and man is diverse and complex due to the bi-dimensionality of hominization morality and standard morality.In terms of hominization morality,morality and man are identically constructed and morality is inherent in man；and in terms of standard morality,there is a double relationship of “identity-inherence” and “difference-externality” between them.The relationship between hominization morality and standard morality is either consistent or separated,presented in the form of concrete and historical practice.

TANG Qiong. Reflections on the Progress of Modern Science and Technology and Consumption Ethics[J]. Journal of Jishou University（Social Sciences）, 2009, 30(3): 14-17.

There exist diversified nations in the world,and they should adopt specific ways to develop themselves.In national economic activities,economy appears together with other social factors,and under specific circumstances it is not a rational action in accordance with economic purpose.Therefore,it is necessary to take a comprehensive and systematic way when we evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of economic life of different nations.

LI Jie. On the Release of Social Tension from the Phenomenon of “Scapegoat”[J]. Journal of Jishou University（Social Sciences）, 2009, 30(3): 26-30.

In terms of social control,witchcraft is a release of social tension;and from social psychology,wizard/witch becomes the scapegoat to dispel social tension.Those who possess witchcraft and those not become secret cooperators,because they are under the same cultural background,maintaining the cognitive system of power of the society they are in.The fact that those who possess witchcraft mostly are women essentially expresses people’s cognition of the relationship between women and god,instead of a simple role mode between man and woman.Of course,this kind of cognition is likely to be made use of by those who are in power (mainly are men),thus it clearly tends to social differences of the two sexes in evolution.

The specific living space in Wuling mountainous areas has molded an ecology cognition system of the Tujia Nationality,which is restricted both by river and mountain.Based on the cognition and belief on environment in the process of working,and focusing on environment maintenance and proper exploitation,this cognition system takes concrete cultural phenomenon as its expression form.This paper takes Suzhou village in Longsha County (in the west of Hunan Province) as a case study,and explores the value of traditional ecological knowledge in the application of modern society.

DENG Wei. On the Occurrence of Literature Translation in Modern China[J]. Journal of Jishou University（Social Sciences）, 2009, 30(3): 38-42.

Before the Reform Movement of 1898,translation in China was mainly about translation of science and technology by the Westernization Group;later it extended into the field of social sciences.Due to the self inherent concept of literature,little attention was given to literature translation at that time,only some sporadic translation was seen.During the Movement,modern literature translation—under specific field of view--misunderstood Western literature (mainly novels),regarding it as an enlightenment,or political propagandistic tool.Then Chinese society was ideologically prepared for a large-scale literature translation,and literature translation was practically accepted as a part of Chinese literature revolution.

HU Jun-Fei. Doubt and Reconstruction:the Historical Consciousness of Lunatic Narration in the Novels of the 1990s[J]. Journal of Jishou University（Social Sciences）, 2009, 30(3): 43-48.

By “lunatic narration” it is meant that the novel is from the angle of view or the voice of a lunatic.As a spectacular sight in the 1990s and an “implicative form”,it presented a historical consciousness that was not seen in the early 40 years of PRC,including the opening-up of historical form and narrative form,and regarding history as a consumption object of aesthetics.To be exact,this historical consciousness is to re-understand history,doubt history,seek a historical identity and reconstruct historical discourse.When it is put in the currency of modern Chinese literature history,we may clearly see that this historical consciousness was a limited backwash and transcendence on the limitation of previous literature narration.

WEI Hua. On the Decadence Bohemia of European Trend of Thought in the End of the 19th Century[J]. Journal of Jishou University（Social Sciences）, 2009, 30(3): 49-54.

The Decadence Bohemia，derived from the trend of thought in Europe in the end of the 19th century is a typical way of existence of the literati,who,in a special era,behaved in a bad manner characterized by debauch,abjection,corruption,and evil.However,the ill state of their existence endowed them keenness to modern civilization and literary crisis,making them contribute much to the artistic creation and providing people with an expectation for another life.From this perspective,we may have a new comprehension to the aesthetic connotation of symbolism:it is an artistic trend,and more of a life movement.

GUO Jian-Hui. Divinity，Humanity and Beastliness—— On the “Paradox”of The Crucible[J]. Journal of Jishou University（Social Sciences）, 2009, 30(3): 55-59.

Getting over the percipient limitation of narrow utilitarianism,studying and discovering Arthur Miller’s The Crucible in the broader vision of human culture,the theater carries out the conflict by the“Paradox”of naming the devil in God’s name,which is formed by mythical logic thinking,and emerges that Salem town endows a group of ignorant and fearless girls with the privilege of naming.In the theater,“paradox” is taken as law to trial and innocent civilians are punished,which reveals profoundly the limitation of human thought and the conflict between humanity degeneration and inwit existence caused by the “paradox”.It reminds people of removing devils in mind,comes out from the temptation of divinity and bestiality,promotes life level in humanistic return and cultivates the will of human life.

Recently,opinions on the reform of judicial interpretation system in our country are constantly heard in the jurisprudential circle.However,no prominent improvement in practice has been made so far.The Unification of Judicial Decisions System in “Criminal Procedures Law of Macao” bears the advantages of both civil law and common law.With a function similar to the judicial interpretation,it’s constituted for the very purpose of unifying the different judicial interpretations,preventing different decisions of the same case when applying the same laws.This system also accords with the institutional structure and judicial technique at present,thus it should be used for reference in the reform of judicial interpretation system in the interior of our country.

Non-litigation case and litigation case are the two basic classifications of civil case.However,for quite a long time in China,no sufficient study has been given to non-litigation case in the field of civil procedure law to meet the demand of market economy and the changing social structure.Thus foreign investigation on the nature and range of non-litigation case will provide reference for us to deepen the study of litigation case and non-litigation procedure,so that non-litigation procedure may play a positive role in preventing disputes and stabilizing social order.

LI De-en. On the Theory and Practical Environment of Litigation Undertaking[J]. Journal of Jishou University（Social Sciences）, 2009, 30(3): 87-92.

The integration of civil subject and litigation subject is regarded as an ideal arrangement in civil litigation.However,new civil subjects and new civil rights have been constantly appearing with the development of the society,causing a separation between the two.Litigation undertaking plays an important role both in protecting the vested civil rights and in producing new civil rights.The double functions of litigation undertaking are restricted by practical environment,which is very poor in China and often leading to limited operation in resolving mass disputes.To construct a perfect dispute-resolving system,we need to enhance both the construction of alternative ways and the construction of the environment in which the representative litigation properly operates.

HE De-Hong. On the Decisive Factors of Rewritings in Translation[J]. Journal of Jishou University（Social Sciences）, 2009, 30(3): 144-148.

Adopting a social-cultural perspective,Susan Bassnett and André Lefevere discover that rewritings in translation are produced in the service of powers after they studied a large number of cases.Therefore they think powers (i.e.ideology and poetics) are the decisive factors of rewritings.However,this paper doubts this proposition.By adopting a logical and rational method,the author tries to examine whether the rewritings discussed by Lefevere are translations or non-translations through the discussion about sufficient and necessary factors to translation.Based on the discussion,the paper assumes that the inherit limitations of translatability generated by inadequacy of languages are the decisive factors of rewritings in translation instead of social-cultural powers.

Language is the vehicle and essential element of culture.Different languages have different cultural connotations.Translation is not only a process of linguistic transference,but also a process of cultural transference.In the target language,the lack of the cultural phenomenon of the source language and the difference of words’ connotation of the source language may cause cultural misconception.In most cases,misconception is harmful to intercultural communication,but in some cases,it can increase the artistic effect of the target language.A translator needs to be quite good at the home culture and foreign culture if he wants to avoid cultural misconception as much as possible.
