Realist studies of oppression, emancipation and resistance
介绍期刊特刊中的两篇论文，阐述为何需要从实在论视角研究压迫、解放与抵抗，追溯该领域的马克思主义根源、与后结构主义的分歧及批判实在论进展，并指出当前研究的不足。
This article introduces two papers in a special section of this journal. It explains why realist studies of oppression, emancipation and resistance are needed. We trace the development of studies in this area, noting their Marxist roots, divergence with post-structural theorising and more recent critical realist advancements. We conclude by highlighting the weaknesses in studies of this area and by arguing that progress is important for understanding how emancipation from oppression might be possible.
