Социална уязвимост и междугрупови отношения: обезлюденото село
Social Vulnerability and Intergroup Relations: The Desolated Village

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this text is to present the initial results from the problematization of social vulnerability through a specific empirical case. The case in question is that of a family living in the northwest village of K. A key trait for the couple, as well as for many other residents, is that the intensive changes (demographic and economic) in the immediate social environment, are generally recognized and identified as "desolation", and are accompanied by a number of everyday psychopathologies. The majority of the used materials were collected in two field visits. The main methods of analysis are those of post-Bourdieusian socioanalysis. Through them the specific features of this form of social vulnerability are highlighted: alienation, in which the agent feels detached from the world around him and the resulting isolation as a coping strategy.
