RODZINY OSÓB NIEHETEROSEKSUALNYCH Z DZIEĆMI: POŚRÓD STARYCH ODPOWIEDZI I NOWYCH PYTAŃ

Author(s): Monika Puszyk / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2016

The aim of this paper is to present and analyse the available data concerning the situation of children of non-heterosexual people and to discuss selected areas of LGB parenting. The article enables an identification of issues related to the welfare and specificity of functioning of children brought up by gays, lesbians and bisexual people, which over almost forty years of research have finally been empirically verified. At the same time, it points to the need to caution against generalising particular conclusions from the conducted research, especially those concerning the level of discrimination and peer violence against non-heterosexual people and their children, on families living in Poland and other countries characterised by a low level of acceptance of LGB parenting. The paper also identifies areas that should be of interest to researchers, including the perspective of social parents and their relations with children, experiences of children raised by non-heterosexual men and bisexual parents, as well as experiences of children brought up in family systems alternative to the traditional model (a pair of parents with children). The data collected so far allow us to speak about safe context of development of children raised in family systems created by non-heterosexual parents, and, at the same time, they point to a space for educational programs and research projects that will enable further understanding of experiences of non-heterosexual parents and their children.

Primjenom Zakona o zabrani diskriminacije BiH (ZZD) od njegovog donošenja 2009. godine primjećeni su njegovi određeni nedostaci i propusti koji su u praksi doveli do rijetke i neujednačene primjene ovog zakona. Takođe, Zakon o zabrani diskriminacije BiH nije usklađen sa pravnim poretkom Evropske unije (EU). Usklađivanje pravnog poretka BiH, u ovom slučaju antidiskriminacijskog zakonodavstva, sa pravnim poretkom EU, predstavlja jedan od uslova za članstvo BiH u Evropskoj uniji. BiH je u okviru Struktuisanog dijaloga za pravosuđe (2014) te na sjednici Privremenog odbora (Ugovor o stabilizaciji i pridruživanje, zasjedanje 2013.) od strane Evropske komisije eksplicitno pozvana da ovaj zakon usaglasi sa evropskom pravnom stečevinom. S tim u vezi javila se potreba organizacija civilnog društva da ukažu i predlože određena rješenja po pojedinim članovima zakona. Kroz zajednički rad Agencije za ravnopravnost spolova BiH, Sarajevskog otvorenog centra i naših saradnika/ca nastao je ovaj dokument.

Social Inequality in Education Analyzed within Various Theoretical Frameworks

Author(s): Lela Milošević Radulović,Suzana Marković Krstić / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2017

The expansion of education and the mass inclusion of generations in certain levels of education have not reduced inequality in education. There have still been numerous causes and forms of social inequality, with far-reaching consequences. The consequences of social inequalities in education are very complex and are manifested in the form of reproduction of social inequality, that is, the self-reproduction of social stratification and the reproduction of economic inequality. Scientists working in various fields deal with the clarification of the problems of social inequality in education and everyone can, from their own standpoint, attempt to discover the basic causes of these inequalities so as to overcome them. In paper we have shown four current theoretical approaches to the problem of social inequality in education: the functionalist theory, radical theory, theory of educational capital and theory of cultural deprivation. Every approach from its own standpoint tries to indicate the relationship between the educational system and social structure, as well as the possibility of overcoming certain social inequality. Based on the analysis of the basic tenets of various theoretical approaches to inequality in education conceptualized the initial hypotheses as the foundation for the functioning of the educational system in the future, based on the principles of meritocracy.

Društveni pokreti i društveni sukobi

Author(s): Salih Fočo / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 04/1998

U središtu društvenog života su društveni pokreti sa svim svojim osobenostima, kako bi to slikovito rekao A. Turen. Oni vode društvenim promjenama, čine pokretačku snagu svakog društva, ubrzavaju njegov tok u vremenu, ali i ljudskoj egzistenciji. Kao bitna pokretačka snaga društva predstavljaju veliki izazov za sociologiju. Širina društvenih pokreta te njihov značaj i senzibilnost za aktuelna pitanja čovjeka, savremenog svijeta i modernih društava, predstavljaju značajnu društvenu pojavu i snagu koja zadobija velike dimenzije. Oni istovremeno predstavljaju ne samo u teorijskom već i praktičnom smislu negaciju klasičnih pokreta i političkih institucija koje preferiraju da usmjeravaju društvo i političke tokove u njemu.

PO CO GEJOWI NORMY?

Author(s): Marcin Maria Bogusławski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 25/2014

The text critiques the approach to the norms characteristic of queer theory, developed in Poland by Jacek Kochanowski. In my view, the language of queer too strongly emphasizes the negative aspect of the norms, also unwittingly brings identity to human sexuality. Referring to the work of Michel Foucault's claim that gay people need norms in order to build both its own identity and the space of community life.

Pedofili Üzerine İki Oyun İncelemesi: Karatavuk Ve Donmuş

Author(s): Dilek Zerenler / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 80/2014

Pedophilia is one of the taboos of society that no one wants to talk, criticize in front of people. Pedophilia and child sexual abuse are generally seen as morally wrong and abnormal by society. Pedophilia is the sexual preference for or a strong sexual interest in children. The term usually refers only to sexual preference for/interest in prepubescent or early pubescent children and most sexual offenders against children are male, Although what causes pedophilia is not yet known clearly researchers report a series of findings linking pedophilia with brain structure and function. these studies find associations between pedophilia and lower IQs, poorer scores on memory tests, greater probability of having suffered childhood head injuries resulting in unconsciousness and sexual abuse in their childhood. The incidence of pedophilia has been markedly underestimated because most of the time the pedophile is a relative or neighbour. It is essential that pedophilia be reported so that appropriate steps can be taken to protect the children involved and all other children. Researches show that that there was a great deal of misunderstanding and unrealistic perceptions in the general public about pedophilia. By the help of social projects this subject can reach lots of people through media and art. By this way it is indicated that the public’s perception has gradually become more well-informed on the subject. In this study two European playwrights plays are analysed in the aspect of pedophilia victim and society. Scottish playwright David Harrower in his play Blackbird deals with pedophile and victim relation with the perspect of lover-lover that the society does not appreciate. English playwright Byron Lavery in his play Frozen focuses on the childhood of the pedophile.

Author(s): Nuray Karaca / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 79/2014

The society is always changing. In the process of social change, institutions experience dissociation and reunification. In this process, social integration loosens, and tension emerges. The family, one of the most important institutions influenced by this situation, differentiates and changes as the smallest and the most basic unit of the social relations with its functions, relation forms and economical activities. The changing social structure, the modernization process of the woman, which is the sign of the change, through the republic is also the process adaptation of family from traditional structure to modern one. While mentioning the changes in the family in his Ereğli study, which he has chosen model of social change and exemplified the transition from feudal structure to modern one, Kıray states that many fixed opinions in society also change along with the changing roles of family members depending upon the changes in the society.

Kutuplaş(tir)manin Yeni Mekânlari: Kapali Siteler

Author(s): Sevgi Kesim Güven,Altan Kar / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 75/2013

Almost in every metropolitan area of developed and developing countries, increasing numbers of gated communities (secured housing estate) form one of the most important socio-spatial cases for today’s urbanization. It has been a process parallel to the free market economy that started to dominate since 1980s in Turkey. Istanbul is one of the first cities in Turkey where these kinds of housing estates appeared. While gated communities changed the urban texture of the big cities (particularly Istanbul) they also raised the speed of social stratification. On the other hand, fast-spreading gated community designs made spatial separation patterns visible. In the beginning, gated housing estates in Istanbul were fed with the discourse of fear like their predecessors in the world. In addition to this, the socio-cultural separation (Islamic and secular elites) the country has gone through since the 2000s has been reflected to the preference of closed housing estates. Thus, these voluntarily prosperity islets, first in Istanbul and then in other big cities, are going to be the places of reflections of ideological separation and becoming introverted. In this sense, new urban places mentioned (housing estates) may be turning into polarization grounds of ideological preferences. In the article, the topic that is grounded upon the theoretical structure which is briefly summarized above, is examined via two examples of housing estates in which mentioned tendencies in Istanbul can be determined; Ataşehir (KentPlus) and Başakşehir. Both KentPlus and Başakşehir are preferred for the fact that they are away from the chaos of the big city (Istanbul), children can grow up safely and for their promise of a new life with their urban equipment. Residents of KentPlus identified themselves as modern, laic and democrat (predominantly on the side of Republican People’s Party), while residents of Başakşehir identified themselves as traditional, religious, conservative and nationalist (predominantly on the side of Justice and Development Party). In this regard, it is determined that socio-cultural and political references are reflected in the preferences of both housing estates; however, in spite of this separation and introverted situation, residents of the housing estates have considerably limited social relations.

Kriminoloji Teorileri İle Beyoğlu Rapsodisi’ne Dokunuş

Author(s): Murat Cem Demir / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 74/2013

This study analyses the book named “Beyoğlu Rapsodisi” of Ahmet Ümit, who is one of the successful Contemporary Turkish Literature in the light of main assumptions of three theories of criminology. Here a literary critique is not made nor does it criticize the book. The aim is to examine the rich content of the book in the light of theories and to create a reference to theories. As a matter of the fact that assuming what was underlined in the text as the representation of the field and explaining with theories somehow identifying the real with literary construct. This process that contains problems is tried to be enlightened under the light of the “social disorder” and “anomy” and the concepts of the Developmental Criminology so as the events in the book are explained with these theories. Of these theories the first is called social disorder. This theory accepts the city as an ecosystem and explains the social pattern of the city with Darwin’s notion of “wild life”. Migration, poverty, marginalization and crime are the phenomena of the city. Neighborhood of Beyoğlu and the life going on there are tried to be explained with the conceptual sets of this approach. And our second theory is that of the developmental criminology. This theory asserts that there is a sessional relationship between the life practice of a culprit and the moment of taking part in crime. This claimed relationship between life variable and crime and the types of crime is adapted to the novel to try to understand the life sequence of a murderer. Lastly, I make use of the theory of anomy to explain crime and deviation. The theory of anomy tries to understand that how as a result of prevention, tension and oppression individuals lean toward crime and deviation to achieve a goal

Çokkültürlü Bir Toplumda Antropolojinin Önemi

Author(s): Mustafa Çarpar / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 70/2012

Multiculturalism has been both widely debated and implemented as a policy since 1970s especially in America and Europe. In these debates, negative aspect as well as positive aspect of multiculturalism is underlined. Especially in recent years, it is argued that multicultural policies foster “micronationalisms” and it leads to bloody separations and disintegrations. However, apart from multicultural policies which is subjected to positive and negative criticisms, there is also a reality of multiculturalism (multicultural diversity) in the anthropological sense. As anthropological studies indicate, many countries some of which are nation-states are “inherently” multicultural because of historical, geographical, ethnic, religious and generally cultural reasons. In case that existence of different ethnic, religious and linguistic groups is not recognized in a country, there would be great problems including conflicts among different cultural groups in the country or conflicts between cultural groups the existence of which is not recognized and the state. States’ approving of multiculturalism in themselves or multicultural diversity in the anthropological sense and transmitting it to society via education can be considered as a crucial step in the way leading to solution. Apart from debates of western multiculturalism and multicultural education policies, a multicultural education can be adopted in a country in terms of recognizing different cultures and respecting differences, and in this sense modern anthropological approach, which emphasizes that no culture is “superior” or “inferior” to another, can be used. Another way of recognizing and presenting different cultures is to teach anthropology at schools from secondary school to higher education. Individuals taking this class would have the chance to know different cultures and they would consider cultural differences as natural and respect all different cultures. In this sense, teaching anthropology as a class in schools in Turkey, which has a multicultural structure, would help individuals to know cultures in both Turkey and the world and moreover would contribute to the establishment of social peace in the long run.
