A test of the effects of timing of a pulsed resource subsidy on stream ecosystems
1. Spatial resource subsidies can alter bottom-up and top-down forces of community regulation across ecosystem boundaries. Most subsidies are temporally variable, and recent theory has suggested that consumer-resource dynamics can be stabilized if the peak timing of a subsidy is desynchronized with that of prey productivity in the recipient ecosystem. However, magnitude of consumer responses per se could depend on the subsidy timing, which may be a critical component for community dynamics and ecosystem processes. 2. The aim of this study was to test (i) whether a recipient consumer (cutthroat trout) responds differently to a resource subsidy occurring early in its growing season than to a subsidy occurring late in the season and, if this is the case, (ii) whether the timing-dependent consumer response has cascading effects on communities and ecosystem functions in streams. 3. To test those hypotheses, we conducted a large-scale field experiment, in which we directly manipulated the timing of augmentation of the terrestrial invertebrates that enter stream (i.e. peak timing of June—August vs. August—October), keeping constant the total amounts of the invertebrates entered. 4. We found large increases in the individual growth rate and population biomass of the cutthroat trout, in response to the early resource pulse, but not to the late pulse. This timingdependent consumer response cascaded down to reduce benthic invertebrates and leaf breakdown rate, and increased water nutrient concentrations. Furthermore, the early resource pulse resulted in higher maturity rate of the cutthroat trout in the following spring, demonstrating the importance of the subsidy timing on long-term community dynamics via the consumer's numerical response. 5. Our results emphasize the need to acknowledge timing-dependent consumer responses in understanding the effects of subsidies on communities and ecosystem processes. Elucidating the mechanisms by which consumers effectively exploit pulsed subsidies is an important avenue to better understand community dynamics in spatially coupled ecosystems.

Jacques Lacan and Feminist Epistemology
This book outlines a compelling new agenda for feminist theories of identity and social relations. Using Lacanian psychoanalysis with feminist epistemology, the author sets out a groundbreaking psychoanalytic social theory. Campbell's work offers answers to the important contemporary question of how feminism can change the formation of gendered subjectivities and social relations. Drawing on the work of third wave feminists, the book shows how feminism can provide new political models of knowing and disrupt foundational ideas of sexual identity. Kirsten Campbell engages the reader with an original intepretation of Lacanian psychoanalysis and offers a compelling argument for a fresh commitment to the politics of feminism. Jacques Lacan and Feminist Epistemology will be essential reading for anyone with interests in gender studies, cultural studies, psychoanalytic studies or social and political theory.

Vor aller Augen
In Essays, Reflexionen und Gesprächen zeigen die Autor*innen dieses Bandes, in welch vielfältigen Konstellationen sexuelle Gewalt in bewaffneten Konflikten auftritt. Zusammengestellt im Rahmen der International Research Group »Sexual Violence in Armed Conflict« führt das Buch in die historischen Dimensionen ein und diskutiert zentrale politische und juristische Fragen der Gegenwart.
Es gehört zum Alltagswissen, dass sexuelle Gewalt in bewaffneten Konflikten allgegenwärtig ist. Gegenstand gesellschaftlicher Auseinandersetzungen und wissenschaftlicher Forschung wurde sie jedoch erst in jüngster Zeit.
Die Frauen-, Bürgerrechts- und Antikriegsbewegungen der 1970er Jahre hatten Vergewaltigungen im Krieg und im Frieden öffentlich thematisiert, aber erst mit der Gründung der Internationalen Strafgerichtshöfe für das ehemalige Jugoslawien und für Ruanda in den 1990er Jahren begann man, sexuelle Gewalt als Kriegsverbrechen, Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit und Akt des Völkermords zu begreifen.
Trotz dieser Entwicklungen mangelt es bis heute an effektiven Gegenstrategien und an einem Verständnis für die Komplexität dieser Form der Gewalt.

GENDER JUSTICE BEYOND THE TRIBUNALS
What are the legacies for gender justice of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR)? Darryl Robinson and Gillian MacNeil in this symposium describe the modernization of the law on sexual violence as a key legacy of the ad hoc international criminal tribunals. However, this characterization does not capture the wider challenges that gender based crimes have raised for the Tribunals, including other legacies of gendered hierarchiesand inequalities.How, then, is it possible to move past these issues to build international criminal justice so that it transforms, rather than reproduces, gendered injustices?

The Making of Global Legal Culture and International Criminal Law
It is commonly agreed that international criminal law (ICL) is a ‘hybrid’ legal culture, which mixes the legal traditions of the common law and civil law. However, the precise nature of this legal culture remains a contentious legal and theoretical issue. The paper identifies the two dominant models of ICL within these debates as either a clash of cultures or a sui generis system, and shows how neither satisfactorily engages with the concept of legal culture itself. To address this problem, the paper develops a new account of ICL as a global legal culture. The paper first identifies the distinctive ‘cultural logic’ of ICL, drawing on the example of recent developments in sexual violence offences. It then examines how ICL takes a global legal form, which ‘globalizes’ liberal legal culture. Finally, the paper shows how this process of making the legal culture of ICL ‘global’ creates its cultural contradictions, but also enables the possibility of making a new legal culture at the international level.
