Autorytety instytucjonalne polskiej młodzieży w badaniach socjologicznych ostatniej dekady PRL i po 1989 roku

Author(s): Mirosław Rewera / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2006

The special interest of the author of the article are the Polish youths’ institutional authorities in two different social-political epochs: the last decade of the Polish People’s Republic and III Polish Republic. The article is a review of selected empirical materials concerning this problem explicitly or implicitly. Its aim was to recognize similarities and differences in the way various institutions were perceived (the school, political and non-political institutions, and the Church) by youths living under different systemic conditions, and verifying two theses on this basis: one assuming similarity of the institutional authorities in the awareness of the youths living in the last decade of the PPR and those living in the III PR, resulting from too short a period in which the democratic system prevailed in Poland to bring about fundamental changes in perceiving the institutions by young people living in the period of III RP as compared to the youths of the 1980’s; and a second one, assuming differences in perceiving the institutions by young Poles of the two periods, resulting from the systemic change in Poland initiated in 1989.Young people living in the last decade of the PPR and in the III RP perceived the school, teachers and non-political institutions (television, radio, the military) in a similar way. A continuation of the trend to negatively assess the school and teachers, and positively assess non-political institutions occurred here. The systemic change in Poland did not effect a change in the young people’s scale of respect towards those institutions. However, it resulted in a decrease in young people’s trust in political institutions and the Catholic Church.

Ks. Aleksander Wóycicki jako prekursor socjologii pracy i przemysłu

Author(s): Anna Szkoła / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2006

In the article the figure of Rev. Aleksander Wóycicki (1878-1954) as well as his research-scientific and organization-social achievements have been presented. He studied social sciences in the most renowned West-European universities, where he gained sound education. It may be said that he was a professional sociologist, the first one among Polish priests. This is why in 1905 he was offered the first sociology chair in the history of Polish education – in the Imperial-Catholic Church Academy.Rev. Wóycicki initiated Polish sociological research into the workers’ class and family, in the development of industry and its social problems. He was an especially active member of parliament, concentrated on social problems of the poor layers of society. He also assumed some important positions in academic institutions, especially ones having a sociological profile.Wóycicki was interested in social-economic problems of the working class, in organization of higher education institutions and other issues concerning working people. His publications considerably enrich the achievements of Polish sociology of labor and industry as well as of the family and social policies. This is why he deserves more attention from researchers, and his achievements should be more precisely analyzed and adequately assessed by historians of social and economic thought, including researchers in the history of Polish political science.

Поглед към антропологичните и социологични идеи

Author(s): Ivan Evtimov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2017

The two social sciences, which are very close, are anthropology and sociology. Both sciences use the same approaches, the same methods, share the same philosophical foundations, have the same subject of research - society.While developing in parallel and seemingly independent of each other, there is a constant overflow of ideas between them, the same topics are discussed, and the same conclusions are often made.The text try to show how anthropology and sociology are based on the same approaches.

Portret lidera – aspekty teoretyczne i empiryczne w konstruowaniu wizji na temat działaczy społecznych

Author(s): Katarzyna Słania / Language(s): Polish Issue: 28/2016

There is no doubt that each social group to the smooth implementation of specific tasks needs a leader, a person who will stand on its head, was motivated to act, and created the right conditions for cooperation in order to achieve the intended results. The fact that the issue of leaders deal with the representatives of many disciplines such as pedagogy, psychology, sociology, management and other testifies to the fact that they play an important role in society, and therefore there is a need to continuously increase knowledge in this field. Although leaders may be either a single unit, as well as institutions, this study focuses on individual activists. Who, then, they are social leaders, what characteristics should have, and what are the motivations of their actions– a question on which planned to answer in this study.

Methodological Complementarity of Sociology and History in the Study of Demographic Processes

Author(s): Srđan Vukadinović / Language(s): English Issue: 7/2014

Properly and accurately interpreted historical data over time are the recognition of a serious scientific research seeking their sociological explanation and interpretation. The necessity of complementarity of sociology and history in scientific thought is recognized in different time periods based on the scientific trends and tendencies in these two disciplines. The subjects of the sociology and history are mostly identical, but the roads that they use to come to findings are different. Their connection is evident in the unity of different cognitive goals. Historical studies are based on specific and individual and sociological on the identification of the general patterns in historical events. One of the scientific phenomena that can be studied with a considerable degree of disciplinary consent of sociology and history is the problem of demographic shifts, or processes. Consideration of demographic trends of one or a different social period falls within the historical sociology, which is a scientific discipline constituted during the last decades of the twentieth century. The demographic data presented in statistical or empirical materials are historical records, and their explanation is the subject of sociological theory. Demographic phenomena and demographic trends have their historical duration and historical foundation. The sociological studies of demographic trends, and through the history, and in modern time contribute to defining and determining the demographic structure as a substructure of society. For this reason, within the study of demographic trends is necessary the methodological complementarity of the sociology and history as well as to mutually complement each other.

Profession in Front of the Mirror

Author(s): Dželal Ibraković / Language(s): English Issue: 7/2014

Declaring the crisis of sociology in the expressed global crisis and in BiH society, points that the sociologists turned away from the primary task of “their” science: that in the crisis of the society they have the most work. Because the sociology from the establishment constituted as a scientific discipline that deals with crises and social changes, trying to give answers to the open, plain and epochal issues of society. In the fragmentation of the science, from the sociology have developed a number of scientific (sub) disciplines which became independent, so from them we can hear voices that sociology should - be abolished. In Bosnia and Herzegovina under the name of “de-ideologisation” in many secondary schools were canceled the classes in sociology. This annoyed very few people, and it have not even bothered the sociologists.

Metodološka komplementarnost sociologije i istorije u proučavanju demografskih procesa

Author(s): Srđan Vukadinović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 7/2014

Pravilno i tačno interpretirani istorijski podaci kroz vrijeme prepoznatljivost su ozbiljnih naučnih istraživanja koja traže svoje sociološko objašnjenje i tumačenje. Neophodnost komplementarnosti sociologije i istorije u naučnoj misli uviđa se u različitim vremenskim periodima shodno naučnim strujanjima i tendencijama u ove dvije discipline. Predmeti sociologije i istorije su, dijelom, identični, ali su putevi kojima dolaze do saznanja različiti. Njihova povezanost vidljiva je u jedinstvu različitih saznjanih ciljeva. Istorijska proučavanja zasnivaju se na konkretnom i idividualnom, a sociološka na utvrđivanju opštih zakonitosti u istorijskim događanjima. Jedan od naučnih i stručnih fenomena koji se može proučavati uz značajan stepen disciplinarne saglasnosti sociologije i istorije je i problem demografskih pomjeranja, odnosno procesa. Razmatranje demografskih kretanja jednog ili različitih društvenih perioda spada u polje istorijske sociologije, koja se kao naučna disciplina konstituiše tokom poslednjih decenija XX vijeka. Demografski pokazatelji iskazani kroz statističku ili emipirijsku građu predstavljaju istorijsku evidenciju, a njihovo objašnjenje je predmet sociološke teorije. Demografske pojave i demografska kretanja imaju svoje istorijsko trajanje i istorijsko utemeljenje. Sociološka proučavanja demografskih kretanja, i kroz istoriju, a i u savremenom trenutku doprinose defi nisanju i utvrđivanju demografske strukture kao jedne od podstruktura društva. Iz tih razloga je pri proučavanju demografskih kretanja neophodna metodološka komplementarnost, kao i međusobno obostrano dopunjavanje sociologije i istorije.

Profesija ispred ogledala

Author(s): Dželal Ibraković / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 7/2014

Proglašavanje krize sociologije u izraženoj krizi globalnog i BiH društva, govori o tome da su se sociolozi udaljili od osnovne zadaće „svoje“ nauke: da u krizi društva oni imaju najviše posla. Jer sociologija se od osnivanja konstituira kao naučna disciplina koja se bavi krizama i društvenim promjenama pokušavajući da daje odgovore na otvorena i obična i epohalna pitanja društva. U parcijalizaciji nauke, od sociologije su se razvijale brojne naučne (pod)discipline koje su se osamostalile, pa se i iz njih čuju glasovi da sociologiju treba – ukinuti. U Bosni i Hercegovini je pod firmom „deideologizacije“ u brojnim srednjim školama ukinuta nastava iz sociologije. To je malo kome zasmetalo, pa čak nije zasmetalo ni sociolozima.

Discursive Habitus of Sociology – About the Order of Sociological Paradigms

Author(s): Ivan Šijaković,Nemanja Đukić / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2011

This paper analyzes the problem of paradigm and discourse in contemporary sociology. Problems of delays in paradigmatic development of modern sociology manifested as ignoring or running away from the paradigm and the urge to declare "low" theoretical discussion and "minor" issues of a paradigm or "grand theory" are considered. Special attention is paid to the order of paradigms in sociology as a science, about the great impact of relativism, constructionism and deconstruction of common sense in establishing and developing the contemporary conceptual sociological paradigm. It is noted that the most of the problems in contemporary sociology come from the discourse about the crisis, a lack of understanding of its role and importance in sociological theory, as well as the conversion of the discourse into the paradigm.

Diskurzivni habitus sociologije – O poretku socioloških paradigmi

Author(s): Ivan Šijaković,Nemanja Đukić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 1/2011

U radu se analizira problem paradigme i diskursa u savremenoj sociologiji. Razmatraju se problemi zastoja u paradigmatskom razvoju savremene sociologije manifestovani kao ignorisanje ili bežanje od paradigme i težnja da se „male“ teorijske rasprave i „mala“ pitanja proglase paradigmom ili „grand teorijom“. Posebna pažnja se posvećuje poretku paradigmi u sociologiji kao nauci, zatim velikom uticaju relativizma, zdravorazumskog konstrukcionizma i dekonstrukcije na konstituisanje i razvoj savremene pojmovne sociološke paradigme. Konstatuje se da većina problema u savremenoj sociologiji potiče od krize diskursa, nerazumevanja njegove uloge i značaja u sociološkoj teoriji, kao i konverzije diskursa u paradigmu.

Самир Амин: Октобарска револуција 1917, један век касније

Author(s): Vera A. Vratuša Žunjić / Language(s): English,Serbian Issue: 4/2017

Samir Amin, Egyptian and French political economist of pro Marxist and anti Eurocentric orientation, argues in his five chapter book entitled “October 1917 Revolution, a Century Later”, timely published on the Commemoration eve of the 100th anniversery of the October Revolution, that great revolutions can only be delayed, and may have temporary setbacks through conservative resistance and counterrevolutions, but revolutionary progress can not be stopped. October Revolution therefore still illuminates the unfinished struggles of the peoples, the heirs of the Communism of the Third international, for the substantial realization of these goals. Amin then sets out to situate the October Revolution in a current context of the triumph of the “liberal” counterrevolution. Amin concludes that this triumph is only apparent, since the capitalist system is already on the road of its chaotic decomposition, opening the way to the possible crystallization of a new revolutionary situation.

Hadže Nasirudin Tusi i socijalna etika

Author(s): Muamer Halilović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2017

A renowned Muslim thinker from the 13th century, Khwajah Nasir al-Din al-Tusi, made a great progress in the history of Islamic social thought by expanding the subject of ethics from an individual to society. Ethics, in his opinion, does not exclusively refer to the actions of every individual, even when those actions are directed at other people. The subject of ethics can be the whole society, as well, which is precisely what he insisted on and on the basis of what he formed his social thought. On the other hand, the man, as the God’s messenger on the earth and the God’s most perfect creature, is, according to his nature, a social being. The social dimension is one of the relevant aspects of personality of such a man and it is impossible to separate it from his individual dimension. It is absurd and almost nonsensical to speak about a man and his existential capacities without deeply immersing into his social identity. And, since Tusi saw the root of various community problems in the lack of moral spirit, it was clear that he would seek the key to the locked door and the solution to the problem of prosperity and progress in ethics, not in the traditional ethics that considered only a man’s individual personality, but in the ethics that would also encompass the social dimension of his existence. That is how Tusi engaged into the detailed analysis of the scientific discipline that would later develop in the form of social ethics.

Socijalna kritika u delima Sadija Širazija

Author(s): Muamer Halilović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/2017

A symbolic expression has been an important method of expressing opinion, criticism or indignation in the history of philosophy. This kind of literary expression implicitly points to, among other, educational, pedagogical, moral, political, and conceptual problems and disadvantages in a society. There are several reasons why one thinker decides to express his or her opinion in a symbolical manner. Sometimes it is a fear of social repression that might ensue in reaction to a direct criticism of authorities or other important societal functions; at other times, the reason is of an ethical nature, which means that the writer does not want to criticize his interlocutor directly, but nevertheless wishes to point out his error; and at still other times the reason lies in the writer’s proclivity toward symbolic expression, as well as in his belief that this method leaves more powerful and longer-lasting impressions on the readers of his works. The great Persian poet Saadi Shirazi (1208–1295) is one of the clever thinkers who in most cases symbolically – but sometimes also directly – criticized various aspects of the dynastically structured society in which he lived, believing that it had departed significantly from the relevant ontological and ethical principles original Islam. In this paper we will present some of the most important segments of Saadi’s social thought.

Vapaj naja – analiza socijalne misli Mevlane Rumija

Author(s): Muamer Halilović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3/2017

Poetic inspiration and a masterful literary ability to create rebounding poetry in combination with a mystical spirit, especially in addition to the possibility of drawing on the knowledge from a rich religious heritage – have a lot of originality to offer. This is actually the way in which a tradition worthy of attention is created, in addition to a rhythm which is in tune with every kind of emotion. This is how verses full of spirit are created, verses which will be born in order to outlive all generations, which will be created in order to last, and which will come to save mankind – from apathy, stagnation, immobility, lost paths, illusions, corrupt ideals. This is how human-like poetry is created, one imbued with love of the true, eternal kind. That’s how life is created, actually. That is how the encouraging words of Mawlana Jalal al-Din Rumi were formed. Rumi’s life can be divided into three periods: education, scientific life, mystical journey. During the first period young Rumi gained a vast knowledge and became familiar with almost all traditional and rational scientific disciplines. In the second period, experienced Rumi taught his students everything he had ever learned. And in the last period, spiritually awakened Rumi – or, as he himself would say, “a burned lover” – sang a song about his detachment from God and loneliness among people. Although Rumi was different in each of these periods in comparison to the others, it is impossible to deny that there was a common thread that was present throughout his life – and this was his unwavering loyality to the Shari’ah, or the Islamic religious law. Almost all of Rumi’s collections and works were created during the last period of his life, which testifies to the fact that we are addressed in them by Rumi who had successfully passed through all those periods. It is therefore very important that we investigate how one exquisite poet and a great mystic and a devotee of God, who had previously proven himself as a great connoisseur of various Islamic sciences as well, observed society and social life. In this paper we will try to carefully consider this question.

Niklas Luhmann and Posthuman Modernity

Author(s): Ádám Lovász / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

In the Introduction to his magnum opus, Die Gesellschaft der Gesellschaft, Niklas Luhmann makes the following programmatic statement: „The inquiries that follow venture this transition to a radically antihumanistic, radically anti-regional, and radically constructivist concept of society.” In my essay, I seek to unpack the ramifications of this move from an anthropocentric social paradigm to one that decenters the role of human beings in society and social theory. I propose that, in line with Luhmann’s intentions, we read his theory of society as a radically posthumanist venture. Two interpretations of Luhmann’s work stand out in particular, for both have advanced readings that seek to flesh out this dimension, namely those of Hans-Georg Moeller and Cary Wolfe. Through Moeller and Wolfe’s posthumanist commentaries on Luhmann, I also attempt to highlight what exactly we should understand under the term „posthumanism” and what a posthuman social thought might look like. Following Wolfe, I define posthumanism as a mode of thinking that follows „after” the exhaustion of human-centered ways of interpreting social phenomena. Technological changes and social differentiation necessitate the rejection of models that would imagine society as a mere aggregate of human agents, or even social rules constructed and shaped by humans. Neither can we any longer interpret society as a collection of human actions or intersubjective relations. Society is more than subjectivity, and cannot be reduced to a set of relations among humans. Society is more than the sum of intersubjective spaces. Posthumanism is a coherent strategy designed to integrate nonhuman objects, materialities, relations and systems into social theory. As a matter of fact, Luhmann actually places humans („psychic systems”) within the environment, hence ejecting them altogether from society! The radical nature of his sociology lies in his reconceptualization of modern society as an assemblage of functional systems that have grown independent of human intentions.

Proměny a stálost Garfinkelovy etnometodologie

Author(s): Jakub Mlynář / Language(s): Czech Issue: 2/2018

Transformations and Continuity of Garfinkel’s Ethnomethodology. Half-century of the publication of Harold Garfinkel’s Studies in Ethnomethodology (1967) is taken as an occasion for retrospective. The main question of the text is whether we can describe the development of Garfinkel’s oeuvre in terms of continuities or rather in terms of transformations. In spite of the profound changes in Garfinkel’s ethnomethodology, related especially to the ethnomethodological studies of work, its foundation has always been the deep respect to the practical/embodied knowledge of the members in its specific situated expressions, which is for ethnomethodology the central topic of sociology. Sociológia 2018, Vol. 50 (No. 2: 172-195)
