This includes conforming statutes which have been amended by more than one chapter of the Session Laws and providing appropriate numbering. For example, two chapters may use the same statute sec- tion number when creating a new section. These will be appropriately numbered in the Wyoming Statutes Annotated. The Wyoming Statutes Annotated will also reflect and give effect to amendments to a statute when the amendments are made by more than one chapter of the Ses- sion Laws. Note however that if a section is both repealed and amended by operation of more than one chapter, the repealer is controlling and the section is repealed.

  • Theory for a Global Age: Rethinking Epistemologies
    Theory for a Global Age: Rethinking Epistemologies Postcolonial and decolonial arguments have been most successful in their challenge to the insularity of historical narratives and historiographical traditions emanating from Europe. This has been particularly so in the context of demonstrating the parochial character of arguments about the endogenous European origins of modernity in favour of arguments that suggest the necessity of considering the emergence of the modern world in the broader histories of colonialism, empire, enslavement, and dispossession. The argument of this paper is that any transformation of understandings requires a reconstruction ‘backwards’ of our historical accounts of modernity, as well as ‘forwards’ in terms of constructing a social science adequate for our global (postcolonial) age. Postcolonialism and decoloniality are only made necessary as a consequence of the depredations of colonialism, but in their intellectual resistance to associated forms of epistemological dominance they offer more than simple opposition. They offer the possibility of a new geopolitics of knowledge. Uma teoria para uma Era Global: Repensar Epistemologias Os argumentos pós-coloniais e descoloniais têm sido muito bem sucedidos no desafio à insularidade das narrativas históricas e tradições historiográficas de origem europeia, sobretudo ao demonstrarem o o caráter paroquial dos argumentos sobre as origens endógenas europeias da modernidade, face a argumentos que apontam para a necessidade de considerar a emergência do mundo moderno no âmbito de histórias mais abrangentes que incluem colonialismo, império, escravatura e desapropriação. Esta comunicação pretende demonstrar que qualquer transformação das compreensõesrequer a reconstrução das nossas narrativas sobre o passado, bem como sobre o futuro em termos da construção de uma ciência social adequada à era global (pós-colonial) em que vivemos.
