Challenging Dissemblance in Pauli Murray Historiography, Sketching a History of the Trans New Negro

O Expositor da Cultura Jurídica e da História do Direito: Pioneirismo e Impacto de Lawrence Friedman

The following article provides a panorama of the work of Professor Lawrence Friedman, a renowned scholar of the history of American law and exponent of the Law and Society Association, discussing his role as a pioneer and impact as an author on the shaping and expansion of various fields of knowledge. From his pioneering studies on legal culture, the legal system, and law and development, his seminal texts on the history of law, the penal system, and law and pop culture, to his original theses on total justice, the republic of choice, the horizontal society, and the impact of law, the article summarizes six decades of Friedman’s academic output, including his 50 years spent as Professor at Stanford University Law School. Apart from the selected literature, the essay provides a short biographical note on Friedman, also touching on his role as leader of the Law and Society Association and the Research Committee of Sociology of Law, as well as in the development of Stanford’s Juridical Sciences Master (J.S.M.) and International Junior Faculty Forum (IJFF). The article has been written in tandem with the newly-published Portuguese translation of Friedman’s “Is There a Modern Legal Culture?” essay, serving as an invitation to Brazilian academia to explore, translate, discuss, and learn more about Friedman’s work.

Correction to “Delta Doping in HgCdTe-Based Unipolar Barrier Photodetectors” [Oct 18 4340-4345

In [1] , the middle name for the second author was incorrectly stated as “Armando” instead of “Antonio.” The correct full name for the second author should read: “Gilberto Antonio Umana-Membreno.” The correction also applies to the second author name in biographical note at the end of the article.

JHWHs grundstürzende Liebe zur abtrünnigen „Frau Israel“. Anmerkungen zu Hos 3,1-5 im Horizont des Hoseabuches

The pericope Hos 3:1-5 passes on narrative materials that poses a various number of riddles. Hosea receives the mission to repurchase and love a woman but still abstain from her. This narrative of their relationship, which is mainly realised in abstinence, is told in the form of a first person’s perspective report and becomes the parable for describing JHWH’s relationship with his people. Who is this woman? Is it Gomer, the mother of the three children who are mentioned in Hos 1:2-9? Is it another woman besides Gomer, whom the prophet needs to ransom? Is it a biographical note about the prophet’s life or a fictional scene composed for a fundamental theological proposition? The persuasions regarding this question are various. The following contribution demonstrates that the biblical author reveals the radicality and depth of the divine love to his people within the framework of the prophet’s failed marriage. The numerous transverse relations of Hos 3:1-5 to the previous chapters (Hos 1-2) and to the subsequent chapters (Hos 4-14) identify Hos 3 as a connecting chapter, wherein the whole theology of the book of Hosea concentrates.

Editorial: Public services, ‘State administration’ workers, and trade union rights

2 | International Union Rights | 26/1 EDITORIAL Editorial: Public services, ‘State administration’ workers, and trade union rights Historically the public sector in many countries has been a site of ‘good jobs’ – well-regulated, providing employment security, decent pensions, and structured career paths. Where the State has permitted unionisation the sector has often been well organised with strong unions. In some cases States have limited the rights of these workers to bargain or to strike, but even within such frameworks, public sector unions have often managed to secure an influential role in moulding employment policy. Even so, the model has not been accepted everywhere, and some countries have seriously curtailed union rights for public sector workers. And even where the more robust union rights model has been well established, it has undergone dramatic transformation in recent years, as not only are workers’ rights under attack, but service provision is being slashed around the world. In this edition of IUR, we are concerned with restrictions on trade union rights for public sector workers, particularly those falling into ‘State administration’ or ‘essential service’ roles. A number of our articles concern workers who do not obviously fall into these classifications, most notably teachers, but either States have attempted to class them as falling into these categories, or States have restricted their rights as though they fell into these categories. Efforts by States to exempt groups of workers from core trade union rights and to reclassify certain groups has created a complicated picture, where worker categorisation is a recurring issue, even where the answer seems well established at the international level. From Germany, the GEW report for IUR on the campaign to overturn a total ban on strike action for teachers, based on their classification as civil servants. The effects of the ban seem clearly at odds with the ILO position. GEW believe an answer may lie with the European Court of Human Rights. But teachers are not alone in facing this kind of misclassification and rights restriction. Other contributions to this edition concern local government workers, firefighters, prison officers, and a host of other public sector occupational groups, all subjected to vague and arbitrary limitations on their rights. Yukihiro Nomura from Japan and Du-seop Kwon of South Korea report on excessive restrictions on even basic organising rights, including the ongoing campaign for firefighter organising rights in Japan, based on the Government’s claim that they are part of the police. The total ban on firefighter unions in Japan can be contrasted with the strength of organisation in the UK, after a century of firefighter union activism. Even here, however, FBU leader Matt Wracks notes that recent years have seen the fire and rescue service in the UK ‘battered by the economic downturn and by central government austerity’, with these service cuts matched by increasing intervention in trade union rights, and restrictions on strike action. Is the attack on both service provision and labour rights mere coincidence, or are they aspects of the same struggle, between people and capitalism? Neoliberal policies such as privatisation, liberalised labour laws, new models for assessing performance and austerity measures have torn up the old model. Privatisation has variously stripped unions of either or both bargaining rights and membership levels, and has undermined the effectiveness of social dialogue and employment policy setting models. Precarious working and casualisation are now reported across the public sector, leading to an increase in part-time, temporary, informal, and contracted workers. There is increasing use private sector labour law; temporary public servants, agency workers, and the use of performance incentives and evaluations typical of the private sector, fuelling a degradation of overall working conditions that has been matched by a downgrading, under austerity, of public services, weakening public service delivery. David Hecker says that in Michigan, and across the US, the attacks on union rights and falling quality of service provision are not a coincidence… Next issue of IUR Articles between 850 and 1800 words should be sent by email (mail@ictur.org) and accompanied by a photograph and short biographical note of the author.

Editorial: towards universal ratification for freedom of association rights?

2 | International Union Rights | 26/3 EDITORIAL Editorial: towards universal ratification for freedom of association rights? Continuing the thematic focus of IUR 26(2) on the ILO in its Centenary year, this edition looks in particular at the state of what ICTUR regards as the ILO’s most fundamental instruments, the Conventions on Freedom of Association (No. 87) and Collective Bargaining (No. 98). These particular instruments are so crucial from a trade union rights perspective because they provide the fundamental protection in international law for trade unions to exist, to function, and to carry out their activities. To give a very basic sense of these instruments, Convention No. 87 is concerned with the existence of unions, their founding, and free functioning. It protects their right to take action, and the civil liberties of trade unionists. Convention No. 98 outlines an obligation to promote collective bargaining, and it requires that trade unionists have protection against acts of interference. The two instruments together provide the foundations for trade unions to operate. As such they are critical, even within the framework of the ILO’s ‘fundamental’ or ‘core’ labour standards. Conventions Nos. 87 and 98 are understood as ‘enabling’ rights (see ILO 2019 Declaration, Chapter II, A (vi)). The idea behind this is that where collective organisation and action are protected this provides an effective basis from which workers can agitate for, and hopefully win, respect for other rights. Most countries have ratified both of them. What is problematic is that a core group of countries are still holding out against ratification of either instrument. And it is extraordinary that prominent among these are a very significant section of the founder members of the ILO: China, Brazil, India, Iran, and New Zealand. The US was not a founding member, but it has also not ratified either convention. Of the ILO founders group, Nick Henry recalls that New Zealanders played a key role in drafting Convention No. 87, but the government of 1948 ‘chose to ignore the advice of their own delegation’. Varied strands of authoritarianism have been similarly hesitant to embace freedom of association, but some are changing. Anita Chan reports on the disparity between the situation in Vietnam, which has just ratified Convention No. 98 (and is tabled to ratify Convention No. 87 ‘by 2023’) and in China, the two countries, Chan tells us, are ‘on different trajectories’: ‘Vietnam is opening up politically while China is becoming increasingly suppressive’. Growing political authoritarianism is also the subject of our report from Brazil, where Ericson Crivelli describes further threats to trade union rights. While Jamshid Ahmadi told a recent ICTUR meeting that ratification remains just ‘a dream’ for Iranian workers,. Ratification by India is still discussed in committees, reports Sindhu Menon, but the unions have little faith in that process, which one union leader describes as ‘eye-wash’ and ‘farce’. But there are also success stories. Canada, Mexico, and Vietnam all recently ratified Convention No. 98, and we await news from South Korea, where Mikyung Ryu reports on the problems that have stalled ratification, but which is still expected, and may be imminent. And David Bacon outlines an optimistic assessement of the potential for labour reform under new laws passed in Mexico, following that country’s ratification of Convention 98 in 2018. The new government, is ‘undoing 36 years of neoliberal economic reforms’. Finally, Sudan remains one of the few key countries in Africa not to have ratified Convention No. 87. We hear from three Sudanese colleagues and gain their insight into the unfolding revolution.

Editorial: Architects or Bees

2 | International Union Rights | 26/4 EDITORIAL Editorial: Architects or Bees Forty years ago, a novel plan developed by workers in the UK was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Threatened with the closure of their Birmingham factory, Lucas Aerospace employees from seventeen plants formed the ‘Combine Shop Stewards Committee’ and in 1976, drew up a detailed blueprint proposing an alternative to manufacturing weapons: the facilities should be transformed and retooled to manufacture socially useful products, including wind turbines, solar cell technology, hybrid power packs and electric cars. The suggestions were dismissed and ridiculed by the company’s management as hippy pipe-dreams. Although the Lucas Plan emerged in a period of peak influence of British unions, the Combine itself was an unofficial trade union body, and received scant support from the Labour Party or official trade union structures of the day. In the decade that followed, both the structures and influence of British unions were to be decimated by Thatcherism, with the dismantling of collective bargaining and myriad restrictions on industrial action. While union power in the 1970s did not succeed in bringing this farsighted initiative to fruition, the subsequent loss of union power did much to insulate control of industrial policy from the ‘fanciful’ initiatives of any workers who believe that industry should serve the common good of society, rather than merely lining the pockets of rich. With the recent electoral defeat of the Labour Party, any hope that workers’ voice in the UK may soon experience a radical revival have been – at least temporarily – dashed… The Lucas Plan nevertheless continues to provide inspiration to new generations of trade unionists, today faced with the manifold threats of a deepening ecological crisis, structural unemployment, as well as the negligence of employers and governments alike. As noted in the Combine’s original proposals, the Plan’s ‘most significant feature’ was its attempt ‘to transcend the narrow economism which has characterised trade union activity in the past and extend our demands to the extent of questioning the products on which we work and the way in which we work upon them’. In this issue of IUR, we proudly offer a platform to contributors taking these challenges seriously, who offer both insights into the impact of climate change on labour, and solutions to navigating this global, existential crisis that is already eclipsing all others. Barely a day passes without new, dire warnings of catastrophes to come. The consequences of one hundred fifty years of steadily escalating fossil fuel consumption are palpable: rising temperatures, flooding, wildfires, drought and famine... To ensure that global warming does not exceed ruinous tipping points and temperature rises remain below 1.5°C, the international community has to agree on and implement an urgent pathway towards rapid decarbonisation. The clock is ticking, but progress under the auspices of the 2015 Paris Agreement is not at all encouraging. In light of paralysis at the top, the Lucas Plan continues to hold an important lesson: the ambition and commitment of workers often outflanks that of the regulators and policymakers who are mandated to address such pressing issues. As one engineer and member of the Combine, Phil Asquith, put it in a 1980 publication: ‘[W]e shall have to make the profound political decision as to whether we intend to act as architects or behave like bees’. Today, in the face of imminent ecological collapse, the question of choice has been overtaken by the imperative of radical transformation: even the bees are dying out. Workers must participate in designing the architecture of the new decarbonised economy, both to safeguard their collective rights and to ensure that this essential transformation actually occurs. The enabling rights of freedom of association, collective bargaining and industrial action have never been more vital.

Writer and Olonkho-Performer: Features of “Buura Dokhsun” Olonkho’s Verse by Erilik Eristiin

This article discusses the features of “Buura Dokhsun” Olonkho’s verse, first published in 1993 by Erilik Eristiin, writer and olonkho-performer. The introduction briefly refers to the studies of the past years, which revealed common features among folk storytellers. Similar moments are clearly shown in the composition of epics. Further, in detail described a special method for studying the verse of olonkho, proposed by professor N.N. Toburokov. This method has been used for about ten years to study many texts of the epic work of the Sakha people. To familiarize in the beginning is given a brief biographical note about the author, about the work as a whole. For the first time are studied the rhythm, alliteration, rhyme of olonkho by writer and olonkho performer – Semen Stepanovich Yakovlev – Erilik Eristiin. It is revealed that in the olonkho “Buura Dokhsun” he followed the canons of the Yakut heroic epic, but in comparison with genuinely folk storytellers, the formal parameters of the Olonkho’s verse are much higher. So, in the epic “Buura Dokhsun” alliteration in the beginning of a line (from the studied 1543 lines) makes 70,7%, and inside of a line makes 26,7%. The peculiarity of the olonkho’s verse by poet-storyteller is the fact that the number of rhythmic structures that are exactly repeated in the next or corresponding other line has increased to 40%, whereas we found that in the epics of M. N. Androsova-Ionova they are 10%, and D. Govorov – 5%. The use of rhyme by Erilik Eristiin is also higher – in average 73%, and the average rate in traditional storytellers – 56%, there is also a masterful use of different forms of phonomorphological rhymes. At the end of the article the results are summarized. In general, Erilik Eristiin, maintaining the common traditional forms of the verse of the folk epic, introduced a lot of new, inspired by his own poetic experience. The writer and Olonkho-performer Erilik Eristiin has other manuscripts of Olonkho. In this respect, he is the only writer who has created so many Olonkho.

150 years of new beetles (Coleoptera) described in The Canadian Entomologist and associated publications (1868–2017)

AbstractThe Canadian Entomologist and its associated publications (Supplements of The Canadian Entomologist and Memoirs of the Entomological Society of Canada) have served as important outlets for taxonomic contributions on arthropods since 1868. A survey of beetle (Coleoptera) publications therein has revealed that 2276 species-group, 136 genus-group, and seven family-group taxa were first described in 492 scientific articles. New beetles were described in 67 families by 165 authors. We document trends of beetle descriptions over time, by taxonomic group and by the origin of the new taxa. We also provide biographical notices of the entomologists who described the new taxa. We believe that The Canadian Entomologist will continue to be coveted as a suitable outlet for taxonomic works in the future.

The Agricultural Revolution, Childe’s Theory of Economic Development as Outlined in Man Makes Himself, and Contemporary Economic Theories

This article assesses Childe’s theory of the impact of the commencement of agriculture on Neolithic economic development and its socioeconomic consequences, as outlined in his book Man Makes Himself. It also relates his theory to contemporary views on economic development, paying attention to current theories of sustainable economic development. After providing a biographical note on V. Gordon Childe (an Australian-born archaeologist and anthropologist) and introducing his basic ideas, it examines Childe’s criterion of successful economic development. Subsequently, the essence of Childe’s two-phase model of early agricultural development is summarized and its validity is evaluated. Childe is identified as a Marxist. The influence of Marxism on his life and theories is given careful consideration. It is suggested that contemporary economists should pay greater attention to the ‘big’ history of economic change, as Childe did.

Forty years of research on the assembly and infection process of bacteriophage.

This short biographical note was written as part of the lead-in material for a festschrift kindly organized for me on the occasion of my 70th birthday. The collection of articles assembled in this issue range within the spectrum of the topics covered in the special issue 'Multiscale structural biology-biophysical principles and practice ranging from biomolecules to bionanomachines.' Here I describe some of the high points of my 40years of research science conducted in the USA, Switzerland and Japan. I also use this opportunity to express my sincerest thanks to my former colleagues and the very many contributors who so kindly contributed to this special issue.

“BEHOLD HOW THAMES DOTH SMOOTH HER SILVER WAVES! […] PROUD TO RECEIVE YOU TO HER WATERY BED”: AN INTRODUCTION TO RACHEL JEVON'S STUART POETRY

This work investigates the legacy of Rachel Jevon, specifically the poem Exultationis Carmen: To the Kings Most Excellent Majesty upon his Most Desired Return (1660), studying how it is constructed and how it contributes to the historical dialogue of its time. First, the literature of the Stuart Successions is addressed to contextualise the poem, along with a brief biographical note about its author, born in Worcester. Second, the Virgilian echo ("Fourth Eclogue") that Jevon's poem contains is noted. Third, the essay focuses on some fragments of the poem, segmented through historical milestones of the era, to analyse their content, educe their authorial dimension, and link them thematically to the different episodes of the history of England that transpired from 1649 to 1660.
