Crip Theory
A bold and contemporary discourse of the intersection
of disability studies and queer studies
Crip Theory attends to the contemporary cultures of
disability and queerness that are coming out all over. Both
disability studies and queer theory are centrally concerned
with how bodies, pleasures, and identities are represented as
“normal” or as abject, but
Crip Theory is the first book to analyze thoroughly
the ways in which these interdisciplinary fields inform each
other. Drawing on feminist theory, African American and
Latino/a cultural theories, composition studies, film and
television studies, and theories of globalization and
counter-globalization, Robert McRuer articulates the central
concerns of crip theory and considers how such a critical
perspective might impact cultural and historical inquiry in the
humanities.
Crip Theory puts forward readings of the Sharon
Kowalski story, the performance art of Bob Flanagan, and the
journals of Gary Fisher, as well as critiques of the
domesticated queerness and disability marketed by the
Millennium March, or Bravo TV’s
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy . McRuer examines how
dominant and marginal bodily and sexual identities are
composed, and considers the vibrant ways that disability and
queerness unsettle and re-write those identities in order to
insist that another world is possible.

A revelação do amor: fundamento da igreja em saída no pensamento do Papa Francisco na Evangelii Gaudium
Trata-se de uma pesquisa de Mestrado em Teologia, da Faculdade Jesuíta de Filosofia e Teologia, na área sistemática, que procura desenvolver o tema: \"Revelaçao do amor: Fundamento da Igreja em saída no pensamento do Papa Francisco na Evangelii Gaudium. O principal objetivo é tentar demonstrar que a Igreja em saída encontra o seu real fundamento no amor de Deus, que sai de si para dar-se ao outro. A pesquisa justifica-se porque a Igreja é por natureza missionária. Por isso, ela está sempre em uma dinámica de \"saída\", renovando as estruturas, para assim realizar uma verdadeira conversao pastoral, que possa influenciar as estruturas de pensamentos pós-modernos por meio da Palavra de Deus. Desse modo, a Igreja em \"saída\", fundamentada no amor, vive e anuncia a misericórdia, sendo acolhedora de todos, mas de modo preferencial aos pobres dos pobres, demonstrando assim o rosto de Jesus Cristo, Verbo Encarnado do Pai e testemunhando a alegria do Evangelho.

De la libéralisation à la gestion des flux de capitaux internationaux
Après l’effondrement du système de Bretton Woods, le régime de changes flottants accompagné d’une libéralisation des flux de capitaux a été adopté par la quasi-totalité des pays avancés, dès les années 1980. En revanche, cette mutation est encore en cours dans les pays émergents. Les importantes disruptions financières liées la volatilité et la procyclicité persistante des flux ont entretenu la peur du flottement et les réticences à mener à son terme ce processus de libéralisation. En outre, les deux dernières crises mondiales, de 2008-2009 et de 2020, ont montré que les sorties massives et soudaines de capitaux pouvaient être davantage liées aux cycles mondiaux qu’aux fondamentaux des pays récipiendaires. Les recommandations des organisations internationales, et notamment du FMI, se sont progressivement adaptées, gardant comme objectif de long terme une libéralisation du compte financier, mais acceptant que celle-ci puisse être réversible et intégrant, dans la boîte à outils, des politiques économiques, des mesures visant à la gestion des flux de capitaux.
After the collapse of the Bretton-Woods system, almost all advanced economies had, by the end of 80s implemented the floating exchange rate regime combined with capital flows liberalization. In emerging market economies, this mutation is still ongoing. Major financial disruptions due to both volatility and persistent procyclicality of flows have fueled the fear of floating and the reluctance to pursue the liberalization process. In addition, the two last global crises, namely 2008/09 and 2020, showed that sudden stops are related more to the global financial cycle than to country-specific fundamentals. International organizations, in particular the IMF, have adapted their recommendations: keeping financial account liberalization as the long-term objective but allowing for reversibility and integrating capital flows management measures in the economic policy toolbox.

La libéralisation des mouvements de capitaux
À l’heure où la question de la gestion des flux de capitaux et de l’utilité des contrôles est de nouveau à l’ordre du jour, cet article se propose de revenir sur les origines des choix politiques relatifs à la libéralisation des mouvements de capitaux. Le mouvement structurel de libéralisation des décennies 1980 et 1990 et les différentes séquences par pays ne peuvent être uniquement expliqués par un consensus scientifique clair sur les bienfaits de la libéralisation, ni par les transformations structurelles du système financier mondial. Cet article relève notamment le rôle d’influence crucial joué par les cadres multilatéraux tels que ceux de l’UE, de l’OCDE et du FMI sur ces choix politiques. Il souligne aussi la circularité des débats sur les coûts et les bénéfices de la libéralisation au fil du temps et soutient qu’une telle perspective historique fournit une grille de lecture critique utile pour les débats actuels.
At a time when the question of the management of capital flows and the usefulness of controls is once again on the agenda, this article revisits the key drivers of capital account policy since 1970. The structural push towards liberalisation in the 1980’s and 90’s and the different timing across countries cannot be solely explained by a clear-cut scientific consensus on the benefits of free capital movements, nor by structural transformations in the global financial system. This article points notably to the crucial role of multilateral frameworks on capital flow management such as those of the EU,the OECD and the IMF in influencing countries’ courses. It also emphasizes the cyclicality of debates about the costs and benefits of liberalisation over time and argues that a long-run historical perspective provides a useful critical background to on-going debates.

Libéralisation financière et déséquilibres globaux
Doit-on encore se préoccuper des déséquilibres des balances courantes, dénommés déséquilibres globaux, dans le contexte de la libéralisation financière internationale ? Car la libéralisation financière transforme les contraintes externes qui pèsent sur les policy makers, et tel est l’objet de cet article. Tout d’abord, on revient sur la caractérisation théorique et empirique des « bons » et des « mauvais » déséquilibres courants. Ensuite, quelques faits stylisés permettent d’évaluer l’ampleur des déséquilibres globaux et des positions financières extérieures. La troisième partie analyse l’impact de la libéralisation financière sur la composante financière des déséquilibres globaux et la dynamique des positions financières extérieures. Enfin, dans la quatrième partie, on examine la thèse du découplage entre les déséquilibres courants et les transferts internationaux d’épargne et de liquidités.
Should we still be concerned with current account imbalances, known as global imbalances, in the context of international financial liberalization? Because financial liberalization transforms the external constraints that weigh on policy makers, and this is the purpose of this article. In section 1, we examine the theoretical and empirical characterization of good and bad current imbalances. In section 2, some stylized facts allow us to assess the magnitude of global imbalances and external financial positions. Section 3 analyzes the impact of financial liberalization on the financial component of global imbalances and the dynamics of external financial positions. Finally, in section 4, we examine the thesis of the decoupling between current imbalances and international transfers of savings and liquidity.

Getting in the Game
Title IX, a landmark federal statute enacted in 1972 to prohibit sex discrimination in education, has worked its way into American culture as few other laws have. It is an iconic law, the subject of web blogs and T-shirt slogans, and is widely credited with opening the doors to the massive numbers of girls and women now participating in competitive sports. Yet few people fully understand the law's requirements, or the extent to which it has succeeded in challenging the gender norms that have circumscribed women's opportunities as athletes and their place in society more generally.In this first legal analysis of Title IX, Deborah L. Brake assesses the statute's successes and failures. While the statute has created tremendous gains for female athletes, not only raising the visibility and cultural acceptance of women in sports, but also creating social bonds for women, positive body images, and leadership roles, the disparities in funding between men's and women's sports have remained remarkably resilient. At the same time, female athletes continue to receive less prestige and support than their male counterparts, which in turn filters into the arena of professional sports. Brake provides a richer understanding and appreciation of what Title IX has accomplished, while taking a critical look at the places where the law has fallen short. A unique contribution to the literature on Title IX, Getting in the Game fully explores the theory, policy choices, successes, and limitations of this historic law.

Cüveynî’ye göre kıyâsın sınırları ve sınırlılıkları -tartışmalı asıllar çerçevesinde
Usûlcülerin çoğu; ruḫṣat gibi konuların da dâhil olduğu ḳıyâstan ma‘dûl aṣıllarda, keffâretlerde ve ḥaddlerde ḳıyâsın câiz olduğu; Hanefî usûlcüler ise bunun câiz olmadığı görüşündedirler. İmâm Şâfi‘î ve onu takiben Cüveynî gibi Şâfi‘î usûlcüler; Hanefî usûlcülerin bu alanlarda ḳıyâsı câiz görmemelerine rağmen birçok hususta ḳıyâs uygulamalarına başvurmak suretiyle çelişkiye düştüklerini öne sürmekte; buna mukâbil Hanefî usûlcüler bunların, büyük ölçüde ḳıyâs formatı dışında kalan lafẓî delâlet tekniklerinden elde edildiğini savunmaktadırlar. Yine de Şâfi‘î usûlcüler, Hanefî usûlcülerin söz konusu ḳıyâs uygulamalarına, -istihsân gibi- ḳıyâstan dahi daha ileri düzeydeki birtakım istinbâṭ yöntemleriyle ulaşıldığı vurgusunda ısrarcıdırlar. Cüveynî’nin ta‘lîl algısının odağında münâsib ma‘na anlayışı yer almaktadır. O, en düşük düzeyli/gizli bir münâsib ma‘nanın varlığında dahi, ta‘lîl mekanizmasını aktifleştirmektedir. Cüveynî, “münâsib ma‘na” formülasyonunu, ḳıyâstan ma‘dûl aṣıllara, keffâretlere ve ḥaddlere başarılı bir şekilde uyarlamış ve neticede bu alanlarda, ḳıyâsın işlerlik/geçerlilik alanını genişletip ḳıyâsa kapalı alanları minimize etmiştir. Cüveynî’nin bu yaklaşımı, onun akılcı kişiliğiyle ve ḳıyâsa verdiği önemle uyum göstermektedir. Bu makalede, -Cüveynî’ye özel referansla- usûlcüler arasında bahsi geçen alanlar çerçevesinde meydana gelen görüş ayrılıkları tartışmalı bir şekilde irdelenip Cüveynî’ye göre ḳıyâsın sınırları ve sınırlılıkları tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır.
