Abstract:
Critical sociolegal scholars highlight how the law favors powerful actors in handling the socioenvironmental devastation affecting marginalized populations. What receives scant attention is how the neoliberalization of the world economy has further enabled powerful capitalist firms to shape the legal path in their own favor and to the detriment of the marginalized. Union Carbide’s 1984 Bhopal catastrophe killed 25,000, injured 600,000, and left prolonged consequences. This paper advances our understanding of the political economy of law by analyzing the handling of death and devastation in Bhopal. Drawing data from 60 interviews with Bhopal victim activists and archives, it advances the argument that the law mirrors the interests of the neoliberal actors of capital. Findings suggest that the law has not only proved unable to safeguard the weakest elements of Bhopal society, but also the pursuit of legal solutions under neoliberalism is incapable of addressing the long-term harms affecting marginalized Bhopalis.

Abstract:
Many studies, reports, books, narratives, and surveys have focused on the disputable picture of the sustainable development of victims of the Bhopal Gas Disaster to understand the trauma, faced by the victims and survivors before and during the COVID-19 period. Traumatic accidents fundamentally shatter the time-based experience of humans between the present and the past. The poisonous night not only had an intense effect on their way of life, but also had an acute impact on their understanding of how to deal with problems. However, another whammy COVID-19 makes their lives more traumatized, unsustainable, and also the victims of another catastrophe. The researchers of the present study have attempted to focus on the traumatic conditions and lessons faced by the Bhopal Gas Victims. In short, the present study puts the focus on the disputable record of sustainable development of the Bhopal Gas Victims in duration, from 1984 to the COVID-19 period, through an analysis of different studies.

Abstract:
This article addresses a number of policy concerns that have arisen in the aftermath of the chemical accident that occurred in Bhopal, India on December 2, 1984. In view of magnitude of that tragedy and its implications for the export of hazardous technologies to the Third World, evaluations of the chemical industry based upon simple extrapolations from past industry performance are inadequate. Future policies undertaken to regulate the industry must explicitly account for the long-term global uncertainties, irreversibilities, catastrophic potentials, and dependencies created by the development of chemical technologies.

Abstract:
This article is a theoretical study arising from the umbrella research project, Psychoanalytic Investigation of Clinical Phenomena in Depression in the Context of COVID-19, by the Laboratory for the Investigation of Contemporary Psychopathologies (UFF. Volta Redonda Campus), in an inter-institutional partnership with the Graduate Program in Psychology at UFRJ. The aim of the research is to demarcate and define the effects of the contemporary mutation of the social bond on subjectivity, based on the recognition that humanitarian/sanitary emergencies are catastrophic for subjective functioning. In this paper, we will present the Freudian démarche that led us to recognize melancholization as the main impact of humanitarian/sanitary emergencies on subjective functioning. The paper recalls the use of the term catastrophe and its epistemological status within the framework of psychoanalysis. This term is fundamental to our research hypothesis: humanitarian/sanitary emergencies are a catastrophe because they produce the civilizational ruin of guarantees for the affected population and the suspension of the functioning of subjective defences and sublimatory strategies for dealing with the condition of helplessness. By considering humanitarian/sanitary emergencies as a catastrophe, the paper highlights, in the line of argument developed by Sigmund Freud, the emergence of the affect of despondency or melancholization as pathos in dark times of humanitarian/sanitary emergencies.

Abstract:
Microtubules are not like other polymers. Whereas polymers such as F-actin will grow continuously as long as the subunit concentration is high enough, a steadily growing microtubule can suddenly shrink even when there is ample αβ-tubulin around. This remarkable behavior was discovered in 1984 when Tim Mitchison and Marc Kirschner deduced that microtubules switch from growth to shrinkage when they lose their GTP caps. Here, I review the canonical explanation of dynamic instability that was fleshed out in the years after its discovery. Many aspects of this explanation have been recently subverted, particularly those related to how GTP-tubulin forms polymers and why GTP hydrolysis disrupts them. I describe these developments and speculate on how our explanation of dynamic instability can be changed to accommodate them.

Abstract:
This paper tries to reread three masterpieces of Dystopia Literature: E. Zamyatin's We, A. Huxley's Brave New World, and G. Orwell's 1984. First, We is examined as a kind of theoretical manifesto (dialectics of 'freedom and happiness') of this genre. Special attention is paid to the intrigue of Mephi (I-330), D-503's ‘betrayal', peculiarities of 'One State' (Utopia-Dystopia), 'Benefactor,' etc. The third chapter is dedicated to reading Brave New World. The novel shows serious thoughts on how to resolve such three problems as difference (class), sexuality (family egoism), and death. After that is followed the analysis of 1984 as an ideal Dystopia SF novel. This research focuses not only on political system but also on Winston Smith's rebellion and tragic catastrophe. In conclusion, this study hopes to study the 'former' Soviet SF such as the Strugatsky Brothers' novels.

Abstract:
The alliance between faith and health in responding to a looming AIDS crisis in South Africa was exemplified in the collaborative work of two Catholic clerics and three nurses. Whereas their work was often eclipsed by the struggle for independence, Archbishop Denis Hurley and Father Ted Rogers envisioned a looming AIDS catastrophe and started warning, training and supporting societies with relevant strategies to minimise its impact as early as 1984. This article analyses their response to the AIDS crisis as witnessed by these nurses and two other contemporary clerics. Archival materials such as the Southern Cross magazine, plenary minutes of the South African Catholic Bishops Conference (SACBC), and correspondence letters shed more light on their difficult operating context.

Full text
Abstract:
In a recent article, “Israeli Literature Over Time,”Aharon Megged describes his work as “unremittingly concerned with burning national issues,” mainly with the issue of Israel′s relationship to the Diaspora.1 Megged′s intense preoccupation with the Zionist ideology of the negation of the Diaspora emerged in his 1955 story “Yad va-shem” (“The Name”). The story presents a scathing criticism of Israel′s dissociation from the history of the Diaspora and especially from the catastrophe of the Holocaust. “Yad va-shem” was followed by an article entitled “Tarbutenu ha-yeshana ve-ha-hadasha” (“Our Old and New Culture”) in which Megged deplored Israel′s severance of its Diaspora roots and urged a reexamination of the negative attitude toward the destroyed European Jewish culture.In 1984, Megged published Massa ha-yeladim el ha-aretz ha-muvtachat (“The Children's Journey”), a novel based on a true story about a group of young survivors of the Holocaust on their way to Palestine.3 This work, as Dan Laor notes in his review, “offers a perspective of the Diaspora in the Holocaust which differs from [the typical Israeli attitude of] contempt infused with pity” toward the Diaspora Jew.

Full text
Abstract:
Jusqu'à une période récente, la responsabilité en matière de droits de l'homme n'a été envisagée que sous l'angle de celle des individus. Or, le contexte économique actuel fait apparaître une nouvelle dimension de la question de la responsabilité dans le domaine des droits de l'homme. En effet, les violations des droits de l'homme ne sont pas seulement le fait des Etats ou des individus, mais elles sont aussi celui des entreprises notamment des sociétés transnationales. L'objectif de notre recherche vise à contribuer à l'étude de la responsabilité des sociétés transnationales en droit international des droits de l'homme. L'évolution actuelle des sociétés transnationales est marquée par une situation d'impunité en droit international. L'encadrement juridique de ces entités repose sur le droit mou (soft law) en d'autres termes, sur un corpus normatif non contraignant constitué de codes de conduite. Ces codes de conduite sont d'une part d'origine interne, lorsqu'ils issus des initiatives des entreprises et d'autre part d'origine externe, lorsqu'ils ont été établis par des organisme indépendant tel que l'Organisation internationale du travail et l'OCDE. Non contraignants, ces instruments ne peuvent répondre aux préoccupations relatives à la protection des droits de l'homme dans la sphère des sociétés transnationales. C'est pourquoi, une réglementation contraignante dans ce domaine s'impose. C'est dans ce sens que s'inscrit le projet des normes relatives aux sociétés transnationales en matière de droits de l'homme actuellement en cours aux Nations unies. Ce projet modèle est loin d'être parfait. Car il ne prend pas en compte certains concepts juridiques inhérents à la responsabilité des sociétés transnationales. Il s'agit notamment de concepts tels que la responsabilité solidaire des sociétés mères avec leurs filiales et sous-traitants ; la responsabilité des dirigeants de la STN. .
Until recently, liability in the field of human rights had only been considered with respect to individuals. Yet, the current economical context reveals a new aspect of the liability matter in the area of human rights. Indeed, violations of human rights are not only held on the account of sovereign states or individuals, but also firms especially transnational coporations. The purpose of our research is to aim at contributing to the study of liability of transnational corporations in international human rights law. The current evolution of transnational corporations is characterized by a state of impunity in international law. The legal framing of these entities lies on soft law, in other words, on a non-restricting normative corpus made up of codes of conduct. These codes of conduct have on one hand an internal basis when they are established by independent groups such as the International Labor Organization (ILO) and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). These non-restricting measures cannot respond to the concerns relating to human rights protection in the sphere of transnational corporations. Therefore, a restricting regulation in this area is needed. This is the undergoing perspective which is notably currently undertaken by the project of the United Nations including norms relating to the accountability of transnational corporations in the field of human rights. This pilot project is far from reaching perfection for it does not take into account several legal concepts inherent to the liability of transnational corporations. This includes concepts such as common liability of head firms along with their branches and subcontractors or also the liability of transnational corporations executive. .

Abstract Among high technology organizations there is a set of organizations labeled “high risk” (Perrow, 1984). They are high risk in the sense that errors in them may lead not only to employee death or to the need to rebuild parts of the organization, but to catastrophic consequences of such magnitude that they are unacceptable to the organization or a larger public. For example, the result of the accident at Union Carbide’ s chemical plant at Bhopal in 1984 is unacceptable to the Indian government.

Abstract:
Abstract The industrial disaster in Bhopal, India, in 1984 was catastrophic: nearly 2,000 people died in the immediate hours, and thousands more over the next few years. The Indian subsidiary of an American corporation owned the plant. The Indian government negotiated a settlement with the US corporation, but the compensation process was bureaucratised and many victims are still seeking redress. The chapter highlights how environmental governance and law had to evolve to address concerns relating to industrial disasters. The changes in India’s environmental laws are important, but not sufficient to prevent the recurrence of such incidents. Post-liberalization, India has amended erstwhile strong laws which raise the risk of future accidents.

Abstract:
<i>Abstract</i>.—The Striped Bass <i>Morone saxatilis</i> is an extremely important commercial and recreational species with a coastal migratory stock in the United States referred to as “Atlantic Striped Bass” managed by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC). Atlantic Striped Bass has four major contributing stocks, including the Chesapeake Bay, which comprises 70–90%, and the Hudson River, the Delaware River, and the Albemarle Sound/Roanoke River (A/R). The collapse of Atlantic Striped Bass in the late 1970s precipitated federal funding and legislation like the Emergency Striped Bass Study for research on causative factors of the decline and potential management recommendations. The 1981 ASMFC Interstate Fishery Management Plan (ISFMP) for Atlantic Striped Bass was nonmandatory and mostly ineffective until the 1984 Atlantic Striped Bass Conservation Act provided regulatory authorities to the ASMFC and the federal government to close fisheries in states out of compliance with ISFMPs. Restrictions and moratoria on harvest imposed in several states reduced mortality, and under favorable environmental conditions and given Striped Bass life history, multiple years of good recruitment occurred. This allowed target thresholds for female spawning stock biomass to be achieved and the ASMFC to declare recoveries of Atlantic Striped Bass stocks from 1995 to 1998. Regulation of river flows was particularly important for the A/R stock recovery, and this stock is presented as a case study. During the 20+ years following recovery, long-term monitoring by states in support of adaptive management was primarily supported by the stable, nonappropriated funding of the Sport Fish Restoration Act. Monitoring includes spawning stock characterization and biomass estimation, juvenile abundance surveys, cooperative coastwide tagging, and harvest data collection. Future issues facing the recovered Atlantic Striped Bass include interspecies effects of relatively high abundance, management of stocks separately instead of as a single coastal stock, and ecosystem-based fisheries management. Key lessons learned in the Atlantic Striped Bass recovery are that high societal value of the species provided the political impetus to create and fund the recovery program, coordination of management and enforcement efforts among all jurisdictions was essential for this migratory species, and fully funded long-term monitoring programs are critical to adaptive population management.

Abstract:
Did the USSR cease to exist in 1984? This chapter demonstrates the continuity between late Soviet and the early post-Soviet period. Even if dissident critique, expressed in samizdat [self-publishing] and tamizdat [publishing over there, i.e. in the West], had little immediate effect, it contributed to the hollowing-out of the Soviet system. As official ideology lost credibility, alternative political philosophies were articulated, some liberal, others nationalistic, still others Marxist but not -Leninist. Gorbachëv’s reform program came too late and resulted in the falling apart of the Soviet empire which was, simultaneously, a liberation and a catastrophe. Rehabilitation of the Russian Orthodox Church went along with publication of the works of previously inaccessible and largely unknown authors like Vl. Solov’ëv [ch. 4]. The rise of liberal political philosophy seemed in line with neoliberal economic shock therapy, but actually was at odds with, “liberal” and “democrat” becoming words of abuse. At the same time, the perceived “ideological vacuum” left behind by now defunct Marxism-Leninism led to attempts, unofficial and even official, to design a new “Russian idea”. Arguably less chaotic than it is often portrayed now, the 1990s indeed were a period of not only economic, but also intellectual and political-philosophical crisis.

Abstract:
The ties between the Serbian Patriarchate and the Moscow Patriarchate have strengthened since the establishment of Patriarch German as the head of the Serbian Orthodox Church. He visited the Russian Church several times, the last time in 1974. The reunion of the two church leaders took place ten years later, although there had been earlier invitations. Church authorities announced the visit in 1984 as a reciprocation and gift . Its realization was favoured by amicable political relations between the USSR and SFRY. The Yugoslav authorities, as well as the Soviet embassy in Belgrade, were interested in the details of the protocol and the schedule of the visit. The programme stipulated that the guest would be visiting and paying homage to Serbian shrines in Kosovo and Metohija, which, like the Serbian population, had been exposed to the pressures of Albanianization for several decades, which had manifested itself in various ways. In diplomatic circles in Belgrade, the visit was understood as a kind of support from the Russian Church and the USSR to the Serbian and Montenegrin population in Kosovo, while the Soviet embassy in Belgrade rejected it, linking the visit to the celebration of the centenary of the arrival of Russian monks from Mount Athos to Serbian monasteries in Kosovo and Metohija. By contrast, Kosovo SAP authorities attributed to the visit a more political than religious character, taking into account the plan of the tour, the decorations that were awarded on that occasion, the interest of the Russian embassy in the visit, the participation in the delegation of representatives of the Russian embassy, etc. The representatives of the organs of the Yugoslav federation and the SR of Serbia, however, put the visit in the context of contributing to the overall development of good relations between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, emphasizing the role of the church in the fight for peace and the prevention of the current arms race between the two superpowers, in order to avoid a nuclear catastrophe. During the conversation of the two church leaders, opinions were exchanged on a series of “urgent problems” faced by Orthodoxy, while serving peace was mentioned as one of the main practical tasks of Christianity in general. At the end of the visit, a joint statement was issued, and the Russian patriarch invited the head of the Serbian Orthodox Church to return the visit, which was accepted with pleasure. Patriarch German would visit the Russian Church in September 1986.

Abstract:
This chapter describes Perspectives on the Holocaust (1984), which was edited by Randolph L. Braham. Probably the most unknown and unexplored part of Jewish history is the story of Hungarian Jewry. Its language, bearing no similarity to any other living language, is an impenetrable mystery for the foreigner. Hungarian Jews themselves have not been very assiduous in recording the history of their tribe – a quite surprising fact considering the notable achievements of Hungarian Jews in so many branches of science, scholarship and literature. Moreover, the little that exists of Hungarian Jewish historiography is sadly antiquated. There are, of course, numerous monographic works on specific periods or issues but the general history of Hungarian Jewry remains still to be written. In these circumstances, any book that could facilitate the filling of the historiographical gap is particularly welcome, and Braham's bibliography, which is the second edition of a small version of 1962, falls into this category. Unfortunately, it is limited to the period of the Holocaust, its immediate background and the aftermath.
