Subkultūrų poveikis ugdymo procesui mokykloje: paauglių, priklausančių subkultūroms, požiūris

Author(s): Rita Ilgūnė-Martinėlienė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 1/2016

Analysis of scientific literature suggests that the topic of subcultures attracts the attention of scientists. A number of authors analyse the behavioural characteristics of subculture groups,search for the concept of subcultures that reflects several theories (structural functionalism, social class theory and the post subcultural approach) approach to the problems of youth subcultures. It should be noted that there is a perception of public that teenagers who belong to the groups of subcultures stand out from their peers due to their behaviour. Due to this reason they are often classified as teenagers from risk groups, sometimes called “difficult teenagers”or identified as teenagers-delinquents. This provision that is often wrong and forms a negative attitude towards teenagers belonging to the subcultures. There are stereotypes that such teenagers have problems in education, they are not successful in schools. Such public provision causes a task for scientists to clarify youth manifestations of otherness and manage them, positively use otherness of the students in education. It is important to conduct systematic research that would help to reveal the impact of subcultural lifestyle on the achievements of teenagers, their behaviour,and communication with teachers, to set the a rising problems and offer possible solutions. It is especially important in Lithuania because the research relating this issue in our country is rare. Problematic questions can be raised: what influence of subcultures on educational process is identified by the teenagers belonging to various subcultures? How do they feel in the society: are they valued and recognized? The article refers to the approach of teenagers belonging to the subcultures on (self-)educational process in school and presents the opinion of these teenagers about the recognition and evaluation of subcultures in public. In order to more deeply understand the impact of subcultures on the process of (self-) education in a school, exploratory qualitative study has been carried out on March-April in 2014. The results of the study which was aimed to reveal the opinions of teenagers belonging to alternative subcultures about the impact of subcultural life on their (self-)education achievements, behaviour and communication with teachers allow to state that these teenagers in sciences are similarly successful as their other classmates. The people around do not seek for other reasons of the failure of these students. The approach to the discrepancies of teenagers belonging to the subcultures and traditions and social behaviour of the society should not be treated as deliberate violation of non-compliance with norms and established rules. It is more rational to recognize a subculture as an alternative of established culture or its strain in the space full of changes.

Nieczystość w dyskusjach publicznych

Author(s): Monika Kaczor / Language(s): Polish Issue: 51/2019

The purpose of the paper is to discuss impurity in public discussions that goes beyond good language practices. It is a form of linguistic abuse that reduces public decency. In public disputes, it is not thought of in a religious sense, but primarily in the context of social morality, and in particular moral principles. The “uncleanness” is spoken of where one sees the moral weakness of man, his morally pathological condition, bottom, fall, lack of the ability to consistently follow moral principles and subordinate them to their actions in the social sphere. Through “uncleanness,” language users point to the inability to accept human harm, unfair law, and inaction against evil.

Między „kulturą drzewa oliwnego” a „kulturą Lexusa”: typy duchowości w e-życzeniach

Author(s): Anna Brzozowska-Krajka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4-5/2019

This study concerns the relationship of neofolklore/cyberfolklore to religion in the globalized world and some issues fundamental for contemporary evaluation of religious phenomena, such as types/models of spirituality and their co-existence, forms of their expression as manifest in electronic communication (interface to interface) and the genre of e-greetings. These types may be placed on three levels: 1. religious spirituality (the culture of traditional values – “the culture of the olive tree”), 2. the spirituality of those who believe in a different way (private religion), and 3. secular spirituality (a play with tradition – the ideology of consumerism, the “Lexus culture”). This anthropological analysis of e-greetings is focused on the essence of holy/festive time pertaining to Christ’s Resurrection (the most important Catholic feast) and Easter e-greetings. However, these types of spirituality are paradigmatic for other phases in the liturgical year (especially Christmas and New Year rituals). The constantly growing collections of such e-greetings refer to the “festive alphabet” and indicate an increasing tendency for secularization in experiencing important dates of the liturgical calendar, which in turn reduces their sacred essence.

КОНТАКТИ НЕМАЧКЕ ЕВАНГЕЛИСТИЧКЕ ЦРКВЕ И СРПСКЕ ПРАВОСЛАВНЕ ЦРКВЕ У КОНТЕКСТУ НЕМАЧКЕ СПОЉНЕ ПОЛИТИКЕ ПРЕМА БАЛКАНУ 1935–1941.

Author(s): Rastko Lompar / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/2020

This paper, based primarily on unpublished German sources and on relevant Serbian sources and literature, deals with the contacts between the German Evangelical Church and the Serbian Orthodox Church in the period 1935–1941. These contacts constituted an important albeit inadequately researched episode in Yugoslav-German relations prior to the outbreak of World War II. The foreign ofϐice of the German Evangelical Church, led by the energetic bishop Heckel, attempted to sway the Serbian Orthodox Church and establish cooperation against the enemies of Germany, both communists and Anglicans.

Entre idéologie nobiliaire, utopie égalitaire et circonstances singulières : le « bon mariage » chez les Roms Gabori

Author(s): Martin Olivera / Language(s): French Issue: 25/2020

The Gabori Roma of Transylvania present themselves and are perceived as a “traditional Roma community” claiming to be highly endogamous. For these Roma, as for others, marriage constitutes the “crucial point” of their society, to borrow Patrick Williams’ phrase: marriage validates, publicly embodies, and reproduces belonging to the group. This article focuses on how Gabori marriage practices accommodate two essentially dissonant sets of values: on the one hand, the brotherly utopia that proclaims absolute equality among Roma, and, on the other, the ideology of descent that describes a “Gabori nation” structured along noble ranks. The two repertoires variously materialize, clash, or mix within the realm of marriage, revealing how Roma society never ceases to develop in complex and dynamic ways.

CULTURAL TOURISM OF MONTENEGRO

Author(s): Nikola Vukčević,Nina Vukčević / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2020

In this paper the proposed approaches to the management of cultural tourism and tourism in general are considered. The first is a review of the historical context of cultural tourism, and, through the collection of the opinions of numerous authors, an overview of the concept itself. Then there was a parallel between broken concepts, culture and tourism, and synergy and networking of these two terms. Furthermore, Montenegro is taken to be the study case, as country which has been recognizable in previous years, as one of the prosperous tourist countries in the region and beyond. Montenegrin cultural tourism and tourism in general were analyzed since the restoration of Montenegrin independence in 2006. The SWOT method was used, the application of which were obtained qualitative results that define the guidelines and suggestions for further development of cultural tourism and tourism in general in Montenegro.

Arta trebuie să fie frumoasă?

Author(s): Loredana Tîrzioru / Language(s): Romanian Issue: LIX, 2/2020

In the approach of the scientific study that I have undertaken and continue to carry out on the subject that represents The Woman between the Culture of East and West, reflected in the area of art, I acknowledge many points of view, some of them even destabilizing the status of women as artists, which make a categorization and shaping a coherent plan of ideas a real achievement in itself.The different points of view and the classification of some avant-garde artists, in terms of analyzing the problems related to the presence of women in all aspects in the artistic environment, be it creator, muse, object or subject, make this research possible. The central figure in this analysis is the Serbian-born artist Marina Abramović, not only for the art she has been performing for more than four decades, but rather for the polysemantism and areas of interdisciplinary interference she suggests. The social and geopolitical implications, the experiences and experiment in art, the connectivity to contemporary, national and international phenomena are the basis of her artistic manifesto. The presence of borderline states of being and situations such as exhaustion, nudity with the status of object and subject, hyperdistorsion of human gestures, flogging and self-mutilation,extratemporalization of positions, phenomenology and anatomy of everyday habits,re-performance, are both means and elements of an artistic vocabulary derived from the existence of contemporary woman from East to West.

Mój głos po polsku – elementy wiedzy o społeczeństwie na lekcjach języka polskiego jako obcego

Author(s): Bartłomiej Maliszewski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 27/2020

During preparatory courses for foreigners who intend to study in Poland, there is a need to introduce a specialised language variety and harmoniously combine teaching language with the transfer of knowledge necessary in selected fields of study. This article concerns the teaching of candidates planning to undertake the studies in humanities. It presents the manner of introducing the elements of civics to the tasks that serve to develop and test language competences at the B2 level. It presents lexical and grammatical exercises, text comprehension tasks and stimuli to oral and written assignments, which are to familiarise students with the principles of the Polish electoral law, introduce them to the world of Polish politics and promote the desired social behaviours. The training of language skills becomes an excellent opportunity to disseminate knowledge in specific fields and, at the same time, shape civic attitudes. Thus, voting can be thought of as the manifestation of both language skills and social activity which young people should be encouraged to undertake.

Colonizing the Mind: A Dialectic Approach to Education and Language in Zitkala-Ša’s American Indian Stories

Author(s): Adisa Ahmetspahić / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2020

Mind colonization has been a burning issue in the last few decades in the fields of science and humanities. It is argued that mind colonization of the indigenous populations has been conducted via education and language in the mission of ‘civilizing’ since education and language carry culture specific sets of meaning, including knowledge and truth which condition our perception of the world. Zitkala-Ša is one of the earliest Native American authors and activists who sought to subvert the epistemological hierarchy imposed through mind colonization. Zitkala-Ša’s autobiographical collection of short stories titled American Indian Stories (1921) documents her boarding school experience and the acquisition of the colonizer’s education and language. The present paper seeks to address mind colonization through language and education on the example of Zitkala-Ša’s American Indian Stories relying on a number of theories and approaches. The paper also reflects on the importance of Zitkala-Ša mastery of the colonizer’s language.

Young people first! The multiple inscriptions of a generational discourse of Muslimness among Italian-Bangladeshi youths

Author(s): Andrea Priori / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

‘Our parents couldn’t teach us the true meaning of what spirituality and faith can be!’. This assertion, made by a 24- year-old youth, epitomises the critical stance of a group of young Italian-Bangladeshi Muslims towards the religiosity of their former generation. Based on ethnographic research in Rome (Italy), this article illustrates the apparently oxymoronic characteristics of a discourse of Muslimness which, despite stressing the importance of a return to the primary sources of Islam, combines this attitude with a peculiar emphasis on ‘integration’. I will show how this counter-intuitive combination is not only inspired by a scholarly concept of ‘European Islam’, but first and foremost it is grounded in the concrete life conditions of youths who are both well placed within the Italian society and animated by religious zeal. In this way, I seek to shed light on the mutual entanglement of religious stances and life experiences, and to point up the limits of ‘exceptionalist’ and ‘literalist’ approaches to the study of Islam.

In aller Büchner’schen Rauigkeit: Achtung ist ein Menschenrecht

Author(s): Gerhard Bauer / Language(s): German Issue: 1/2014

He was a gentle and tender young man, Georg Büchner. But what enraged him really was the open or hidden contempt of other men: an affront of mankind, as he put in. He found this contempt in fellow students in Gießen. He traced it back in the turning point of the French revolution as in a silent valley of the Vosges. His Woyzeck is so much embittered by some tiny remarks of continuous disdain, so much upset of what he feels he can̕t grasp that he eventually murders his wife.

Metamorphose der Landeskunde in Deutsch als Fremdsprache. Hinführung zu einer Inklusiven Landeskunde – Beginn einer Debatte oder eine utopische Hoffnung?

Author(s): Magdalena Rozenberg / Language(s): German Issue: 1/2013

The future of ‚Landeskunde‘ is the perspective of cultural studies. Cultural studies have changed the paradigm of traditional ‚Landeskunde‘ to a scientifically oriented field of studies. How does this metamorphosis look and where may it lead to? The article is an attempt at answering this question.

MEDIJSKE SIMULACIJE

Author(s): Damir Kukić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 2/2020

The study of media and their functions is associated with identifying the qualities of an ideological framework and the matrix of social values. In this context, what is asserted is the importance of the culture within which, especially in modern times, the role of the mass media is becoming increasingly important. Each culture has, over different periods, influenced what values have been dominant and desirable. Thus, the modern era of media culture development brings different images and contexts in which different processes and cultural practices are created. Media simulations and content thus become part of universal commodification and perpetual reality.

Author(s): Mustafa Özgenel,Esin METLILO / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

This study aims to a cross-cultural comparison of teachers' attitudes towards educational research in Turkey and Kosovo. The study is carried out according to the descriptive survey model, which is one of the quantitative research models. The study group consists of a total of 336 teachers 186 teachers from Turkey (Istanbul and Batman) and 150 teachers from Kosovo (Prizren) working in the academic year of 2018-2019. As a data collection tool, “Teacher Attitude Scale for Educational Researches” and “Personal Information Form” is used to determine the demographic characteristics of teachers. The data is analyzed with the SPSS statistics program. The data is analyzed by independent groups’t-test and one-way analysis of variance. According to the findings, it is revealed that in Turkey, the teachers' attitudes towards educational research are "high level", while in Kosovo, teachers' attitudes towards educational research are "moderate level". Moreover, as a result of cross-cultural comparisons, a significant difference is discovered between teachers' attitudes towards educational research. It is determined that this significant difference is in the sub-dimensions of the necessity of educational research and the applicability of educational research.

Pitanje kulture kao klasno pitanje? Kulturne politike i društvena stratifikacija u Hrvatskoj

Author(s): Jaka Primorac / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1/2021

Nakon entuzijastičnih rasprava i izrade izvještaja o kulturnoj politici i kulturnom razvoju u Republici Hrvatskoj krajem devedesetih i početkom dvijetisućitih (Cvjeti¬čanin i Katunarić, 1998; Katunarić i Cvjetičanin, 2003), događa se pad javnopolitič¬kog interesa za ovu problematiku. U posljednjih dvadesetak godina ne nedostaje istraživačkih interesa za pitanja kulture, ali se događa fragmentiranost debata, pa tako nema cjelovitih rasprava o kulturnom sustavu, nego eventualno o dnevnopo¬litičkim diskusijama o izmjenama zakona, pojedinačnim strateškim dokumentima i nedostatcima akcijskih planova. Ponegdje se dogodi i rasprava o lokalno-političkim kulturnim i/ili medijskim pitanjima te pritiscima odozdo određenih stručnih skupina i inicijativa, pri čemu je najjači utjecaj organizacija civilnog društva u području kulture i umjetnosti. Tomu procesu nije pomogao ni globalni krah medijske industrije, konti¬nuirana komercijalizacija kulturnih proizvoda i usluga, rast digitalnih posrednika te daljnja prekarizacija kulturnog radništva čime se smanjio prostor kritičke rasprave i izvještavanja.

"eszt elne dobáld..."

Author(s): József Liszka / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 2/2021

Certain cultural objects, crosses, pictures and statues of saints, rosaries, home holy water fonts left out of use often remain kept as a legacy, they are not thrown out but are placed, out of grace, in some sacred place (a secluded chapel, booths of wayside shrines) or simply at the foot of a wayside cross. This form and place of preservation is known in science as a “sacred depot” or deponia. This study presents examples of this phenomenon in southern Slovakia, putting it in parallel with similar attempts to preserve the memory of ancestors and also placing it in the broader context of the culture of remembrance.

Die Performativitat des Namens - Anmerkungen zur Semantik von Inklusion und Exklusion

Author(s): Urs Staheli / Language(s): German Issue: 37-38/2001

(Performativnost imen - komentar k semantiki vključitve in izključitve): Avtor se ukvarja z vprašanjem družbene vključitve in izključitve (inkluzije in ekskluzije), ki se nahaja v centru moderne družbene sistemske teorije, zlasti v zadnjih nekaj letih. Osrednjo pozornost namenja nasprotjem med normativnim diskurzom inkluzije in realnim procesom ekskluzije v modernih demokratičnih družbah. Normativni diskurz inkluzije se dogaja preko dejanja identifikacije in samodeskripcije (performativnost imena), ki ga ni mogoče razumeti v smislu mehanične identitete, temveč v smislu dialektičnih procesov diferenciacije. Avtor dokazuje, da v modernih demokratičnih družbah univerzalni značaj pojma “državljan”, ki imanentno temelji na nasprotju med inkluzijo in ekskluzijo, deluje samo kot fikcija v politični sferi. Družbena realnost je namreč vseskozi prežeta z različnimi oblikami ekskluzije.
