Time for Reflection? Considering the "Past", "Present" and "Future" of Feminist Legal Scholarship: A Roundtable Discussion

In his "Theses On the Philosophy of History" (1940), Walter Benjamin called for a blasting open of the continuum of history. His call was one that would bring into question teleological narratives of progress, and urge a radical rethinking of the concept of the “present”. Similarly, Judith Jack Halberstam considers the ability of new temporal logics to “open up new life narratives and alternative relations to time and space” (2005). Though differently conceptualised, these insights from Benjamin and Halberstam make poignant interventions on the pitfalls of unreflective time, and the political possibilities of imagining a new temporality. What do such insights mean for feminist legal studies? Has an orientation towards a "future" feminist ideal been productive in feminist legal scholarship and activism? How does your own work engage with temporality? Does a reconceptualization of time offer any insight for your work, or for feminist legal projects more generally? Discussion of these questions intends to interrogate what is often taken for granted as "progress" within the field, and to consider the benefits and drawbacks of thinking feminist research and activism inside or outside (or indeed of deploying this dualism in the first place) the domain of chronological time. This Roundtable Discussion was recorded at the PECANS (Postgraduate and Early Career Academics Network) conference, 'Transgressing Power(s)', held at the University of Westminster, UK, on 30 April 2010. It was organised by Stacy Douglas and chaired by Sarah Keenan

A Review paper on Smart Use of Energy and its Management by Different Methods

Supply of electrical energy to people living in rural and urban is always an issue as there is always rise in demand and shortage in supply which is mostly due to extinction of widely used source i.e. coal and upgrading to smart home with maximum use of appliances to reduce human work but the fact remains constant that need of power to use this electronic product is always an issue specially to the rural citizens where a minimum requirement of power is also not fulfilled still to many of the places. Thus Smart Energy Management System is the technology and one of the best methods to use electrical energy efficiently and save the energy by means of different method using available and upcoming technology and makes it available and accessible to each and every person. The major contribution will be from the communication technologies specifically wireless technologies enabling for two-way communications and also from renewable energy that integrates solar energy and resources to smart home by utilizing energy in smart way and scheduling and arranging the power flow during peak and off-peak period. A holistic approach addressing the issues of energy supply, demand and pricing is addressed. This paper presents the deep understanding of each method with its implementation along with its result and success of the proposed method in managing the power and saving the electrical energy and how this method proposed will help in introducing and advancing the current system to manage energy with available technologies and keep upgrading in future and for which detailed study is done in this paper with overall conclusion of supporting the ideology and suggesting some effective ways to upgrade the ideology.</jats:p

Reciprocal Repossession: Property as Land in Urban Australia

Repossession of land by Indigenous people is commonly understood as a legal act that unfolds within the confines of state apparatuses. But for many Indigenous urbanites, legal repossession is both impossible and irrelevant due to their histories of dispossession and dislocation. Moreover, while land repossession in Australia is predominantly non-urban, I demonstrate that land is also reclaimed within cities. Urban repossession of land, considered here as reciprocal rather than legal, challenges the model of private ownership by asserting a territorially transferable relationship to property as land. The order of property entrenches Indigenous people’s dispossession by demanding immobility as precondition to ownership and rendering Indigenous urbanites all “too mobile”. Against this framing and the liquidation of their lands as capital, Indigenous people practice reciprocal forms of repossession that challenge both liberal and traditional meanings of ownership. This helps retrieve urban Indigenous subjectivities while compelling partial relinquishment of non-Indigenous properties
