Problematika národa v počátcích sociologické teorie ve střední Evropě prizmatem tzv. habsburského dilematu Ernesta Gellnera: příspěvek k historické sociologii vědění

Author(s): Dušan Janák / Language(s): Czech Issue: 2/2019

The Issue of the Nation at the Beginning of Sociological Theory in Central Europe through the Lens of Ernest Gellner´s Concept of the Habsburg Dilemma: Contribution to Historical Sociology of Knowledge. The Habsburg Dilemma is the tension between two opposing world and political views (individualistic universalism and culturalistic organicism) which characterized, according to E. Gellner, the cultural and political life in the late period of the Austrian monarchy and was also mirrored in the field of intellectual production. The study applies this Gellner's thesis to the sociological reflection of national issues in the work of significant Central European sociologists of the first half of the 20th century. Gellner's concept allows us to explain the varying degree of interest in national issues among individual sociologists, as well as the nature of conceptual approach to nation-related issues by individual theoreticians, where we find distinct social bearers of both the worldviews (Hungary, Austria). In the countries without a pronounced split of the intellectual stratum (Czechoslovakia, Poland), the Habsburg dilemma can be recognized primarily as a conceptual tension within one theory, but it does not consistently explain the differences in the theoretical grasp of the topic or the degree of politicization of the issue.Sociológia 2019, Vol. 51 (No. 2: 152-178)

Mediální kurace jako praxe paměti: Situační analýza mnemonických praxí mládeže

Author(s): Tomáš Karger / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2019

This study focuses on the modalities of transmission of history-related knowledge to a current young generation (12–25 years old). Data from 11 focus groups with pupils and students of schools at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels were used to analyse situations of knowledge transmission with regard to four significant historical events: September 11th 2001, November 17th 1989, August 21th 1968 and February 25th 1948. The study introduces media curation as a senzitizing concept suitable for grapsing the selective dimension of mnemonic practices. The analysis is focused on aspects of expert, social, or data-based curation in situations where mnemonic content is transmitted. This analytical instrument is used in the study to account for situations in which mnemonic practices of the informants take place.

ШТА ЈЕ ТО АНАЛИТИЧКА СОЦИОЛОГИЈА? КА СОЦИОЛОГИЈИ КАО ‘НОРМАЛНОЈ НАУЦИ’

Author(s): Milovan Dekić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3/2013

In this paper I analyze the basics of analytical sociology, relatively new and in our scientific community little known intellectual movement. In the introductory part I try to identify the general causes of its occurrence. In the second partI provide its preliminary definition. In the third part I reconstruct its prehistory. In the fourth and main part I discuss the basis of its scientific program. In the final part I try to establish implications of the adoption of this program as a guide for the sociological enterprise in the future.

ИНСТИТУЦИОНАЛИЗАЦИЈА СОЦИОЛОГИЈЕ ТЕЛА: „СОМАТИЗАЦИЈА“ СОЦИОЛОГИЈЕ ИЛИ „СОЦИОЛОГИЗАЦИЈА“ ТЕЛА?

Author(s): Suzana Ignjatović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3/2006

This paper examines the process of institutionalization of a new discipline. Sociology of the body was established at the beginning of the 1990s, and the process coincided with major changes within sociology. The model of strategic institutionalization of modern sciences was applied in the paper. Тhere are several aspects of the process in question: setting the boundaries of sociology of the body, defining the authors' position towards forerunners, and finally, the authors' position on contemporary perspectives on body.

ČEMU SOCIOLOGIJA DANAS?

Author(s): Milovan M. Mitrović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 4/1995

Sociology could bean interdisciplinary intellectual place where the meeting and communication of other disciplines is possible, since sociology itself is a built-in tissue of all social sciences. This provides a possibility to make sociology vivid, what in turn gives an opportunity to it to regain old glory and to get new influence.

PRIMENA NEKIH BIBLIOMETRIJSKIH I PROSOPOGRAFSKIH POSTUPAKA U PROUČAVANJU ISTORIJE SOCIOLOGIJE

Author(s): Vojin Milić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1-2/1988

The objective was to ascertain the presence of a group of social thinkers and sociologists within the contemporary scientific life and culture. The paper was originally written as the appendix to a book which was planned as the collection of essays and articles about various topics of the theory and history of sociology, published by the author during several past decades. (See the introductory Note in the paper and the author’s Bio-bibliography, published in Sociološki pregled, v. XIX (1985), nc 3—4.) The composition of the group whose presence is analysed (See Tab. l — Tab. 3a) is determined by this original intention.

PHENOMENOLOGY OF NATIVE AUTOBIOGRAPHIC - MEMOIR TEXT - INTERPRETIVE EXERCISE OF SCHUTZIAN PERSPECTIVE

Author(s): Gordana Gorunović / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

The main source of inspiration in writing this experimental essay comes from ideas of Alfred Schutz collected in his capital work The Problem of Social Reality. Comprehensions and analytical categories of this major theorist served me as a unique methodological guidebook in analyzing and interpreting the idiosyncratic text (native autobiography proper; ethnobiography) of my ethnographic informant from Montenegro. My intention is to treat this native text of local bricoleuse as a laic report of and primary resource for description of the particular cultural version of the everyday world in phenomenological terms. The goal is to understand on this concrete example how the writer as the subject of the narrative places herself in her social world, starting from her biographic situation and using the supply of available knowledge. The anthropological interpretation of the meaning of text should be focused on the actor, i.e. her writing as intended action and its motives within a given socio-cultural context and time perspective.

SOCIOLOŠKO PROUČAVANJE SOCIOLOGIJE

Author(s): Ljubiša R. Mitrović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3/1982

Dosadašnji razvoj sociologije upućuje na zaključak da je ona kao nauka i profesija doživela u našem veku snažan rast. Iza nas je vreme apriornog, dogmatskog, proglašavanja sociologije sumnjivom buržoaskom naukom. Ona je, uz sve otpore, kako na Zapadu tako i Istoku (mada, nešto sporije) doživela institucionalizaciju u obrazovni sistem.

STARE I NOVE PREDRASUDE O ODNOSU SOCIOLOGIJE I ISTORIJE

Author(s): Milosav Janićijević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1-3/1976

Ako danas postoji, manje ili više, opšta saglasnost oko toga da je saradnja sociologije i istorije neminovnost vremena u kome živimo, a te saradnje u pravom smislu ipak nema, razumljivo je što se nameće pitanje zbog čega je tako? Ovde će biti učinjen pokušaj da se razlozi za ovakvo stanje potraže u novijoj istoriji razvoja sociologije na našem tlu, odnosno u izgrađivanju njenog stava prema istorijskoj nauci kao takvoj i oeni nekih njenih istraživačkih dostignuća.

Uncloaking the Researcher: Boundaries in Qualitative Research

Author(s): Kalyani Thurairajah / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

Qualitative researchers are expected to engage in reflexivity, whereby they consider the impact of their own social locations and biases on the research process. Part of this practice involves the consideration of boundaries between the researcher and the participant, including the extent to which the researcher may be considered an insider or an outsider with respect to the area of study. This article explores the three different processes by which boundaries are made and deconstructed, and the ethical complexities of this boundary making/(un)making process. This paper examines the strengths and limitations of three specific scenarios: 1) when the researcher is fully cloaked and hiding their positionalities; 2) when there is strategic undressing to reveal some positionalities; 3) when there is no cloak, and all positionalities are shared or revealed. This paper argues that it is insufficient to be reflexive about boundaries through acknowledgement, and instead advocates reflexivity that directly examines the processes by which social locations are shared and hidden during the research process.

The Virtue of Patience

Author(s): Scott Grills / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2020

Shaffir (1998:63) writes, “We must learn to reclaim the virtue of patience. When we en­hance the pace of doing research, it is often at the expense of acquiring a deep appreciation of the research problem.” This paper engages Shaffir’s claim by examining the importance of undertaking a patient sociology. What is the virtue to be found in prolonged and sustained work? How does this speak to the relationships found in field research and in the identities that inform our work as researchers and theorists? In contrast to recent trends towards various versions of instant or short-term ethnography (e.g., Pink and Morgan 2013) this paper argues for the merits of “slow” ethnog­raphy by examining the advantages of relational patience, perspectival patience, and the patience required to fully appreciate omissions, rarities, and secrets of the group.

The Heads and the Walls. From Professional Commitment to Oppositional Attitude in Hungarian Sociology in the 1960–1970s: The Cases of András Hegedüs, István Kemény, and Iván Szelényi

Author(s): Ádám Takács / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2017

In most of the state socialist countries in Eastern Europe, sociology remained a perpetual source of ideological quarrels from the beginning of the 1960s to the mid-1980s. With this context in mind, this paper offers an analysis of some of the decisive aspects of the development of Hungarian sociology from the early 1960s to the mid-1970s. In particular, the discussion focuses on three central figures, András Hegedüs (1922–99), István Kemény (1925–2008), and Iván Szelényi (1939), and their intellectual developments from committed and professional sociological work to the adoption of a deeply critical attitude towards socialist social development. An examination of the similarities in their intellectual development, especially as far as their political confrontation with the regime is concerned, offers a context for a discussion of some of the topical issues of the professional, institutional, and ideological aspects of academic work in state socialist Hungary and the ways in which genuine scholarly achievements could give rise to oppositional attitudes and social dissidence.

Прилог проучавању званичне културе сећања Новог Сада у контексту истраживања антропологије града

Author(s): Kristijan Obšust / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2020

This paper analyzes certain characteristics of the identity of Novi Sad as a specific multiconfessional and multinational environment in the context of commemoration and de-commemoration, as a reflection of official culture of remembrance as articulated in public space. The creation of the identity of the city, different practices and tendencies in creating the official memory of Novi Sad, are viewed diachronically, from the mid-19th century to the dissolution of SFRY, as a form of (meta)text. Changes in odonyms and other elements of remembrance culture in public spaces, especially in the historic part of the city, simultaneously point to the specificity of Novi Sad as a dynamic urban environment and to the possibilities of applying urban anthropology to research on a slew of different topics.
