Miejska ulica jako przestrzeń życia politycznego — między ładem cenzury a żywiołem buntu

Author(s): Grzegorz Błahut / Language(s): Polish Issue: 15/2015

This paper regards the urban street as social space, where different symbolic interactions occur between individuals and groups of people. The established social and political order within this space happens to be disturbed by different forms of protest. An article attempts to compare the course of riots in former times to those at present. The comparison implies that the functional grandness of the urban street belongs to the past. This is mainly caused by new legal regulations restricting freedom of assembly and the new tele-electronic media space, and by a deepening division of the Polish society into different groups of interest, and its consequent inability to consolidate. An indirect cause also is the new order and mentality developed in democratic societies and by a consumeristic lifestyle.

Zagłada Żydów jako europejskie doświadczenie transgresyjne

Author(s): Jakub Greloff / Language(s): Polish Issue: XIII/2015

The article deals with the subject bordering on two areas: historical remembrance and the theory of politics. The Second World War, including Holocaust, as irrational historical catastrophe, was a traumatic experience for the European societies. The magnitude of this catastrophe discredited the concept of historical thinking founded on a reason that exists within historical process. Holocaust uncovered the destructive power rooted in modernity itself. The political elites had to find an answer to a question how, in the middle of Europe with cultural identity founded on: Greek philosophy, Roman law and Judeo-Christian tradition, such inhuman crimes took place. The starting point of the article is Holocaust as a process of social destructive transgression, both to Jews and European societies. The ending point – Holocaust as phenomenon initiating constructive transgression: foundation of the Israel country and the new post-war order in Europe.

Гендерный ракурс массовой политики

Author(s): Svetlana Grigorevna Aivazova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1/2016

The article presents the analysis of gender peculiarities in Russian mass policy. Its urgency is linked to mass policy as the latter to a great extent determines the run of things and state of minds in present-day world. The latest research focuses attention on essential differences in the existing forms of mass policy differentiating as 2 opposing concepts the so called “mass policy” and “citizens’ policy”. The differences appear thanks to new actors who invade the policy field and institutionally transform political process. The new developments take place thanks to a mass involvement of women into politics. They become independent subjects who consciously declare their ability to be responsible citizens. Using this approach the article considers such questions as: what are the peculiarities of Russia’s people — men and women — interaction with the state; what type mass policy is characteristic of political behavior for men and women; does gender influence their political choice; and if so, in which way.

«РОДИНА-МАТЬ» В СИМВОЛИЧЕСКОЙ ПОЛИТИКЕ СОВРЕМЕННОЙ РОССИИ ГЛАЗАМИ РОССИЯН (НА МАТЕРИАЛЕ ИНТЕРВЬЮ)

Author(s): Tatjana Borisovna Riabova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 4/2016

The paper based on sociological research in two Russian regions (Ivanovo and Dagestan) examines the role of the Motherland symbol in the Russian public opinion. Authors believe that the most essential trait of citizens’ attitudes to the Motherland is the attributing maternal characteristics to it. The Motherland is opposed to the State in the views of citizens. The relations between a person and his/her Motherland are interpreted as family relations (especially in ethnically Russian region); love for Motherland considered as self-denying and not depending on living conditions. On the contrary, relations between the citizen and the country are interpreted as contractual ones. This is why the symbol of the Motherland is used in the state symbolic politics. The authors demonstrate that citizens’ attitudes to the Motherland depend on their political preferences.

Transformational leadership: is it time for a recall?

Author(s): Mei Lee / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2014

The purpose of this paper is to re-examine the two most prominent approaches to leadership: transformational leadership and inspirational leadership. Based on a review of the relevant literature, it is evident that the very concept of transformational leadership is ambiguous. The literature review also suggests that the idea of transformational leadership is being overshadowed by the model of inspirational leadership which despite its imperfections is more potent in practice. The paper draws on a comparison between these two approaches and argues that inspirational leadership is more practical and suitable in dynamic or non-business environments.

РУССКИЙ МИФ В СЛАВЯНСКОМ ФЭНТЕЗИ

Author(s): Tatyana Nikolaevna Breeva / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2015

The paper discusses the specificity and mechanism of construction of the Russian myth in the Slavic fantasy at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The sociopolitical context provoking actualization of the Russian myth is analyzed. The variants of its presentation and simulation peculiarities are described. The Russian myth is constructed based on three main lines. First, the system of traditional national identificators is reconsidered in the Slavic fantasy. Secondly, a new pantheon of national heroes is formed, thereby invoking the narratives of Oleg and Vladimir. Thirdly, the process of national reidentification based on the revision of national auto- and heterostereotypes is widely represented.

Глобализация и съдебна система

Author(s): Mitko Dimitrov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2023

As globalization can be viewed as a new social revolution in modern society, the need arises to respect the right of every human being to live in dignity. It is of paramount importance to formulate a model of values based on the principles of a civilized art of communication in a globalizing society, in which the individual must bear his or her personal responsibility to the future of humanity, and in which force must not replace justice. The judicial system has to be a delicate segment to help people overcome boundaries – external and internal, moral and material – in order to protect ourselves as a society from the negatives of modernity and to preserve the foundations of the constructiveness and vigour of the individual in the pursuit of creation. The judicial system should transform societal rules and create conditions for a world of unity and freedom, shaking up the free market with one goal in mind - to create and carry radical and positive ideas into the future.

Türkçülerin İslamcılara Karşı Eleştirisel Yaklaşımları

Author(s): Goomaral Damdinsuren / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 33/2024

Although the Turkism movement is defined as one of the elements that could save the state during the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the historical and political roots of the concept should be seen as the process of a nation holding on to itself. Turkism, which has been criticized for being worldly and discriminatory against Islamism, has been the subject of these criticisms for a long time, and has often not had the opportunity to express itself clearly among these discussions. In this study, the critical approaches of Turkists against Islamists have been tried to be explained as a whole, through a literature review, through Ahmet Ağaoğlu, Ziya Gökalp and Nihal Atsız. During the phase of the study, a literature review was conducted and opposing views were examined with a comparative method.

РОЗВИТОК МАСОВОЇ ВИДОВИЩНОЇ КУЛЬТУРИ В ПАРАДИГМІ ВІЗУАЛІЗАЦІЇ ТА ЕКРАННИХ ФОРМ

Author(s): Mykyta Statsenko / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 2/2024

The purpose of the work is to investigate the development of mass entertainment culture in the paradigm of its visualization and the spread of screen forms. The methodological basis of the research was made up of the following methods: systemic, cultural, semantic, analytical, which fully allowed to consider the defined perspective of the research issues and obtain substantiated results and conclusions. The scientific novelty of the research is revealed in the consideration of spectacular culture as a subsystem of mass culture, which is formed by its semantics and the identification of trends in its visualization in further development, in particular, screen forms mediated by digital information technologies. Conclusions. Mass spectacles in the paradigm of visualization and screen forms are an integral part of modern culture. They not only reflect technological progress, but also influence the way we perceive and interact with the world. At the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, it became obvious that audiovisual communication had significantly supplanted other types, and screen forms of creativity gradually changed traditional arts and began to serve as new means of their distribution. In the conditions of the information society, mass culture becomes a priority form of living cultural phenomena. Spectacle culture in the conditions of visualization and digital technologies is a powerful force that shapes our ideas about the world, influences social processes and determines new directions for the development of the entertainment industry, it constantly evolves, responding to technological innovations and changes in society. Spectacularity is one of the important constituent technologies of creating a modern cultural product, one of the properties of expressiveness, which is achieved through the synthesis of various artistic means. It should also be noted that modern challenges related to ethics, privacy and ecology require us to take a deliberate approach to the consumption and creation of content that becomes part of the entertainment culture.

Framing of Information, Psychological Distance, and Belief in Health Related Information under Time Pressure in Older Adults

Author(s): Vita Mikuličiūtė,Vytautas Jurkuvėnas,Viktorija Ivleva,Antanas Kairys,Vilmantė Pakalniškienė / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

The time of pandemics could be described by the overflow of health-related news in media, but also the rise of researches concerning it. However, there is still a lack of information about message characteristics which effect belief in it, besides older people are underrepresented in these studies. Belief in fake news is especially dangerous for older people, not only because fake news usually promotes dangerous behavior (e.g. do not seek COVID-19 vaccination), but also because older people are the ones who are most likely to share fake news on social media in such way helping to spread them. The aim of the study was to estimate the influence of information framing and psychological distance on belief in health-related information under time pressure in older adults. Study was based on representable sample of 50 years and older Lithuanians. In total 505 participants took part in the study. 200 (30.6 %) were men, 305 (60.4%) were women. Participants ranged in age from 50 to 94 with the mean age of 66.27 (SD = 11.24). Study was a between-subject design experiment. Belief in health-related news information served as a dependent variable, Framing of Information and Psychological Distance as independent variables, also age, gender and education were control variables. Participants were presented with eight fake and eight true news headlines about vaccination and COVID-19 in the form of social media posts for 7 seconds and had to evaluate their belief in these headlines. Results indicate, that neither psychological distance (country of living vs. other EU country), nor information framing (positive vs. negative) have any influence on overall belief in health-related information in older adults. Even though gender and education were not related to overall belief in news, a significant positive correlation between age and belief in health-related information was found. Our research prove that older people become more truth biased with age.

Why do Bulgarians Resist Vaccination Against COVID-19? Reflections on an Outlier

Author(s): Tihomir Mitev,Plamen Nanov / Language(s): English Issue: Special/2024

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed some of the divisions existing within the European Union. The rates of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 clearly divide Western from Eastern European countries. The article presents “the curious case” of Bulgaria, which has the lowest vaccination uptake of all EU countries. Even though Bulgaria had been receiving vaccines since the beginning of 2021, by the end of November of that year, scarcely 25% of Bulgarians were fully vaccinated, a percentage far below that of the second lowest-ranking country in this respect, Romania. In seeking an explanation for the scepticism of the Bulgarian population towards vaccination, and analysing the roots of the problem, the authors use the Vaccine Hesitancy Matrix of Determinants, developed by the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts at the World Health Organisation. The research reconstructs and traces the public institutions’ efforts to govern the crisis and shows that, in 2021, a constellation of three groups of determinants intensified hesitant attitudes to anti-COVID-19 vaccination. The study is based on media and content analysis of documents, as well as on secondary data analysis, interpreted through the frame of the Vaccine Hesitancy Matrix of Determinants as a heuristic perspective for understanding a specific pattern of vaccination hesitancy. The analysis reveals that the main driving forces of growing hesitation and behaviour regarding vaccination are the populist use of experts and authorities’ positions and the low level of public understanding of science, technology and medicine.

THE EFFECT OF MASS MEDIA ON ATTITUDES TOWARDS AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER

Author(s): Salomeea PANAIT,Claudia Coman / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

The media has a significant impact on public attitudes and understanding of autism. Media representation can perpetuate negative stereotypes and misconceptions or promote positive and accurate portrayals that challenge stereotypes and promote acceptance. Autism is a spectrum, and media outlets must strive to accurately represent the diversity of experiences associated with it. Mass media awareness campaigns can educate the public about the realities of the condition and promote inclusivity. The media has a crucial responsibility in shaping public attitudes towards autism and must provide accurate and respectful representation of the condition and those affected by it to support the development of a more inclusive and understanding society. The study aims to investigate the impact of mass media on the attitudes of primary school teachers towards children with autism and their inclusion in mainstream public schools in Romania. It will use a mixed methods design with a large sample size from all schools in Brasov and the outskirts. The study will employ content analysis, questionnaires, focus group studies and semi-structured interviews to gain an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon. The results will provide insights into how mass media influences general attitudes towards individuals with autism and their inclusion in mainstream public schools. In this proposed research study, a mixed methods design combining quantitative and qualitative methods will be used to gain a comprehensive understanding of teachers' attitudes towards autism, including the impact of mass media on these attitudes. The results could be used to develop targeted interventions for promoting inclusive education practices and providing programs for teachers on creating an inclusive environment for students with autism.
