Author(s): Piotr Chomczyński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2016

Celem artykułu jest zwrócenie uwagi na zjawisko tworzenia nieformalnych taksonomii przez kadrę zakładów poprawczych (ZP) i schronisk dla nieletnich (SdN) wobec wychowanków w związku z pracą resocjalizacyjną. Omówione zostały zarówno mechanizmy tworzenia takich klasyfikacji, jak również konsekwencje z nimi związane. W artykule broniona jest teza, że tego rodzaju stygmatyzacja z jednej strony jest zjawiskiem naturalnym, gdyż bazującym na mechanizmie analogii, w dużej mierze nieuświadomionym, typowym dla instytucji wychowawczych, z drugiej zaś strony zależnym w swej postaci od stylu zarządzania placówką. Poruszany jest także problem licznych konsekwencji wynikających z taksonomii. Zaprezentowane w artykule wnioski opierają się na siedmioletnich badaniach jakościowych prowadzonych w ośrodkach resocjalizacyjnych wszystkich typów w całej Polsce. W badaniach zastosowana została zasada triangulacji w zakresie metod, badacza i danych. Do analizy zebranych materiałów empirycznych wykorzystany został paradygmat interpretatywny, który daje możliwość uchwycenia interakcyjnego charakteru powstawania emocji negatywnych i pracy emocjonalnej.

Informal Taxonomies of Inmates from Juvenile Detention Centers and Juveniles’ Shelters Created by Personnel in the Context of Resocialization Actions

Author(s): Piotr Chomczyński / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

The main aim of this paper is to draw attention to the phenomenon of creating informal taxonomies by the personnel of correctional institutions (ZP) and shelters for juveniles (SdN) towards charges in relation to social rehabilitation work. It discusses both the mechanisms of creating such classifications as well as the consequences associated with them. The article defends the thesis that this type of stigmatization is on the one hand a natural phenomenon, because it is based on the mechanism of analogy, to a large extent unconscious, typical for educational institutions, but on the other hand dependent in its form on the adopted style of institution management. It also discusses the problem of multiple consequences of taxonomies. The results presented in this paper are based on seven years qualitative research carried out in social rehabilitation centers of all types throughout Poland. The research applied the principle of triangulation in the scope of methods, the researcher and data. To analyze empirical data an interpretative paradigm was used, which enables to see the interactive nature of the formation of negative emotions and emotional work.

The article is an attempt to answer the question of what digital sociology and its object of interest are.

Personalizm w pedagogice

Author(s): Barbara Kiereś / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2016

From ancient Greece to the present day, there remains in pedagogy a dispute between collectivism, individualism and personalism. Collectivism and individualism arise from the tradition of intellectual idealism, while personalism is a consequence of cognitive realism. In contemporary pedagogical debates personalism asserts that man is a person, but the dispute revolves around what qualities constitute the human person. This article presents the aforementioned approaches and explains this issue in the spirit of realistic (classic) anthropology.

Author(s): Irena Mudrecka / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2015

In light of cognitive concepts, a significant cause of adaptation problems are maladaptive cognitive distortions, consisting in assigning meaning to one’s experience in an inaccurate or distorted way. The identification of cognitive distortions in social misfits enables social rehabilitation educators to identify their problems in the process of adaptation to the environmental conditions and to understand the nature of their social functioning. At the same time, it allows to adjust methods of social rehabilitation interaction to the committed distortions.

Author(s): Irena Mudrecka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2015

W świetle koncepcji poznawczych istotną przyczyną problemów przystosowawczych są dezadaptacyjne zniekształcenia poznawcze, polegające na przypisywaniu swoim doświadczeniom znaczenia w sposób niedokładny lub skrzywiony. Identyfikacja zniekształceń poznawczych u jednostek nieprzystosowanych społecznie umożliwia wychowawcom resocjalizacyjnym rozpoznanie przyczyn ich problemów w procesie przystosowania się do warunków środowiskowych oraz zrozumienie specyfiki ich funkcjonowania społecznego. Jednocześnie pozwala na dostosowanie metod oddziaływania resocjalizującego do popełnianych zniekształceń.

Ethically responsible Global Sociology: conceptual framing of a new vision

Author(s): Pavel Sorokin / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2016

This paper begins by outlining the two-sided ‘ethical challenge’ that international sociology faces in the 21st century. First, formulating the ethical stance of a sociologist towards the subject of disciplinary inquiry and the potentially involved social groups. Second, elaborating the adequate research tools for studying the ethical dimension of globalizing social reality. We conduct a critical analysis of the current literature on these issues from the Global Sociology perspective. We show that the ‘value-involved’ Global Sociology is the only possible mode of successful and appealing international disciplinary practice. However, existing ‘value-involved’ approaches are Eurocentric by nature and lack sensitivity to the ethically diverse global social reality. We propose the conceptual framing of ‘Ethically Responsible Global Sociology’ as a new vision of our discipline in the global world.

Rola socjologii i socjologów we współczesnym społeczeństwie

Author(s): Janusz Mucha / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

This talk refers only to the roles of academic sociologists. Critical analysis of popular ideologies („myths”), new social movements and initiatives, social problems and troubles on the micro and macro scales, ways of resolving them and social costs of such resolution, should be the basic tasks of sociologists. Elementary forms of liberal democracy seem to be an external precondition of playing such a role.

Feminine resources of power

Author(s): Iulian Apostu / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2016

Most marital couples from nowadays profess to have modern relationships where the distribution of roles, the gender relations and the method of enhancing functions is egalitarian, however, the overall inequities between partners are still visible. At the other extreme, there is a category of couples who strategically negotiate their distribution of power to each gender in accordance with the resources they hold. Thus, in a constant process of grabbing the other, each partner is building a set of resources enabling the domination of other. The study aims to analyze the resources through which the contemporary women organize and promote power resources to dominate within their marital relationship. The research is performed through the qualitative analysis based on sociological survey and the instrument used is the semi-structured interview, applied to both women and their partners.

Poimanje kvaliteta života među studentskom populacijom Univerziteta u Tuzli

Author(s): Orhan Jašić,Željko Kaluđerović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 1/2015

U središtu istraživanja autora ovog rada jeste sintagma 'kvalitet života', koju oni, najprije, razmatraju na teorijskoj ravni i iz perspektive njenog mogućeg adekvatnog misaonog obuhvatanja. Generalno gledano, pojam kvaliteta života koristi se za ocjenu općeg blagostanja pojedinca, ali i društva. Kvalitet života autori izučavaju primarno iz bioetičke prizme, i on najčešće obuhvata područja fizičkog i psihičkog zdravlja, razinu neovisnosti, socijalne odnose, osobni kontekst, religijsku dimenziju i osobna vjerovanja. U drugom dijelu ovog teksta autori su ispitali praktičke implikacije razumijevanja ove sintagme među studentskom populacijom Univerziteta u Tuzli, odnosno percepciju kvaliteta života studenata pomenutog univerziteta. Iz provedenog anketiranja očevidno je da studenti Univerziteta u Tuzli imaju nižu samoocjenu kvaliteta života kao i ukupan kvalitet života izražene kroz četiri domena prema Kuminsovim (Cummins) normama. Studenti imaju najbolje odgovore iz domena fizičkog zdravlja, premda je i u ovom aspektu jedva dostignut prag prema Kuminsovim normama. Zatim slijede pokazatelji vezani za psihičko zdravlje, a nakon njih socijalna domena. Studenti su po pitanju kvaliteta života iskazali najveće nezadovoljstvo u domeni životne okoline. Konačno, autori su utvrdili da nije potvrđena njihova druga hipoteza da studenti Univerziteta u Tuzli imaju visok kvalitet života, osim u pomenutoj domeni fizičkog zdravlja.

The old institutionalism - revisited

Author(s): Robert-Ștefan Sabotici / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 36/2016

The distinctions with a meta-theoretical character about the old and the new institutionalism are, as it is normal, the preservation of new institutionalists, those who are representatives of a school of thought, mature and capable of producing reflections on his own domain. For this reason, the analysis of what they have in common and what is different, concern two moments of institutionalism that are first found in the works of new institutionalists. Old institutionalists usually respond to comments of the new representatives of the school, trying to show their sources and that there is no so much difference as the new institutionalists claim.
