ItemArt as intervention: Protests on urban transformation in China and Australia(Informa UK Limited, 2022-05-28)Participation in public space is widely recognized as a means for deepening social inclusion. Recent developments in urban participation have seen an intertwining relationship between art, technology, and activism. This article presents a comparative study of two protests regarding the transformation of two public spaces: Donghu in Wuhan, China, and Federation Square in Melbourne, Australia. We aim to compare and contrast how art functions in the processes and results of the protests in each country’s socio-political contexts. Both possessing artistic and activist components, the Donghu protest played out as a disguised form of occupation that failed eventually. The case of Federation Square engaged with both artist activism and direct political engagement that ended in triumph for the activists. In both cases, art was mobilized to mediate a broader range of communications and prompt social change. The latter case took a relatively elitist approach than the former by relying on informed activists and working within a liberal democratic framework. Nonetheless, both protests showcase public agency and subjectivity despite different socio-political contexts. This paper argues that analyzing the role of art in urban protests can provide new insights into the esthetic modes of resistance in conflicts over the transformation of urban space.

ItemYusuf al-Qaradawi’s Jurisprudence of Priorities(International Institute of Islamic Thought, )According to Yusuf al-Qaradawi – a prominent Muslim jurist of the contemporary period, the jurisprudence of priorities is intended to mitigate excess and negligence in legal reasoning. This article examines the fundamental principles of the jurisprudence of priorities as propounded by Yusuf al-Qaradawi in relation to the foundational sources of Islamic law. The purpose of this article is to dissect the constituent legal principles of the jurisprudence of priorities and critically evaluate their validity and coherence against the textual and rational evidences of Islamic law.

ItemVarying orientations to sharing life stories: A diachronic study of Japanese women's discourse(Cambridge University Press, 2022-09-06)Language change across the lifespan is relatively underexplored in sociolinguistics. While studies of individuals' language across life stages are often considered to complement large scale studies of community-level language change, this study aims to explore how changes to family environment and social mobility interact with individual speakers' stylistic practice across life stages. It examines ethnographic interviews of five women, originally from the same area in western Japan, the same high school, and similar socio-economic background, conducted by a single researcher eleven years apart. The chronological and inter-participant comparisons reveal a complex pattern of stylistic practice and stance taking as the women share stories about career, family and relationships with the researcher. The study also discusses audience design in language variation and explores how the participants utilise their discursive repertoires in their interaction with the researcher, whose background is significantly divergent from theirs.

ItemNo Preview AvailableTowards a History of Trauma in Central and Eastern Europe After World War II: A Coda(Springer International Publishing, 2022)This coda offers commentary on the contributions to this volume from the perspective of a historian of the Soviet Union. It comments on the methodological pitfalls of the concepts of trauma and traumatization and the way the contributors to this volume avoid these. In particular, it discusses how the experience of trauma expressed itself before a language to describe it was available. It also stresses how certain forms of memory and commemoration function, in effect, as a type of “toxic therapy” for a past still haunting Eastern Europe. The coda also points to further avenues of research which could emerge from this agenda-setting volume.
