Gender and Textual Politics during the Qing Dynasty: The Case of the Zhengshi ji
In compiling the anthology Guaochao guixiu zhengshi ji (Correct beginnings: women's poetry of our dynasty) and its sequel, the female scholar-poet Yun Zhu (1771-1833) had, argues XIAORONG  LI , explicit objectives: to celebrate the literary achievements of Qing-dynasty gentry-women and establish an orthodoxy of women's poetry in accord with contemporary attitudes toward literature and gender. Locating Zhengshi ji in the context of Qing anthologizing trends for both genders, Li examines both the rhetoric Yun Zhu and other editors adopted in their introductory comments and their anthologizing strategies. Through a comparison with other Qing anthologies, especially those mentioned in Yun Zhu's introduction, Li illustrates how women derived authority from the Confucian classics, particularly the Shijing, in efforts to seize a place in the literary world alongside their male counterparts.

United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982, A Commentary
Volume VI is the sixth substantive volume to be published in the series. It deals with the work of the First Committee at the Third UN Conference on the Law of the Sea, namely the international seabed area. The volume thus embraces the deep seabed mining regime set out in Part XI of the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea together with the 1994 Agreement on its implementation. Completion of this commentary was delayed first by the consultations and negotiations that commenced in 1990 and led to the 1994 Agreement and the entry into force of the Convention. It was further delayed until the Assembly of the International Seabed Authority approved the detailed mining regulations in 2000. Additional supplementary material can be found at UNCLOS 1982 Commentary: Supplementary Documents.
