Razvlačenje i sabiranje bosanske pameti

Author(s): Rasim Gačanović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 1/2015

The two famous exclamation of accused criminals and leaders of the war against Bosnia, Radovan Karadžić and Ratko Mladić - “Bosnian Muslims could disappear” and “they should stretch their mind” - the symptoms of long- lasting anti-Bosnian project are emerging on the surface. Is Bosnian mind stretched to the extent that the project of destruction of all Bosnian lasts within all what was destroyed? Is the war against Bosnia tendency that this process could be accelerated? This article contains some of the research results of possible answers to the above questions. Everything that was designed in nationalistic programs during the 19th and 20th centuries connected to Bosnia, it has become a cognitive basis of opinion and established programs and based on it of political system, education and culture. In the contents of Bosnian political, cultural and economic public, it is possible to recognize mentioned criminal patterns that correspond to mentioned criminal exclamations. They are disguised, so the media, scientific and cultural public recycled them as dogma.

GENOCID I DRUGI OBLICI ZLOČINA NAD BOŠNJACIMA

Author(s): Muhamed Šestanović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 45-46/2009

Imamo priliku da u nekim knjigama, časopisima, novinama, na veb sajtovima i slično pročitamo da je nad Bošnjacima, u toku njihovog historijskog rasta i osvješćivanja, počinjeno jedanaest genocida i to od istog dželata oličenog u velikosrpskoj ideji libensrauma i projekta konačnog rješavanja muslimanskog pitanja. Smatram, a znam da imam istomišljenika, da se radi o jednom genocidu koji se, do sada, izvodio u jedanaest nastavaka. Ne znam kada će biti sljedeći, dvanaesti, ali će vjerovatno biti onda kada Bošnjaci zaborave na jedanaesti. Nažalost, ne radi se niokakvoj telivizijskoj seriji tipa „sapunica“, već o historijskoj zbilji namjere potpunog uništenja muslimana/Muslimana/Bošnjaka, etničke grupe kao takve.

Vršnjačko nasilje na društvenim mrežama u Republici Srbiji

Author(s): Jovana Rančić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 43/2018

During the recent years, electronic violence has become a prominent issue, especially when it comes to young generations. The distinctive characteristics of communication through the Internet make this form of violence a specific phenomenon of modern society. Studies show that electronic violence is gradually replacing traditional peer violence or that these two forms of violence coexist. Electronic violence is often only a continuation of violence that takes place inside a school, school yard, on a street. However, there are cases of peer violence connected exclusively to the Internet environment. Regardless of how and where the violence takes place – in a virtual or real environment, the consequences are equally worrying, often more serious when it comes to this relatively new form of violence. When we talk about the socialization process of modern generations, we can rightly take the Internet as one of the central agents. The latest research shows that the use of the Internet is mainly for social and entertainment purposes. Its primary function is fun and communication with peers. Children use the Internet least for information and for educational purposes. Internet services for communication and virtual identity building become a significant part of growing up. Thus, the lack of knowledge about the dangers that lurk on the Internet can cause the most damage to the youngest. This work theoretically deals with the topic of peer violence. The introductory part defines the concept of electronic violence, characteristics and forms which the youngest users most often face. The emphasis is put on the specificities that distinguish electronic violence from the traditional forms of violence and on the consequences it involves. This phenomenon is observed from the communicational, sociological and psychological aspects. Special attention is given to the issue of protecting children from electronic violence and the role of the state, parents, school, witnesses and the media in this process.

Upotreba i razumevanja koncepta „četvrta vlast”

Author(s): Bogdan Urošević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 20/2018

This paper is primarily focused on the discourse analysis the usage of the concept “fourth power” in the contemporary domestic scientific and pro fessional literature in the context of discussing the system of separation and control of powers, as well as on the analysis of competitive meanings that this term takes on in various usages. Following analysis of content and connotation of the “fourth power” concept, an individual examination of meanings of concepts “independent public bodies”, “the media” and “civil society” when used as synonyms for “fourth power” will be conducted. This paper argues that, in spite of the seemingly diverse usages of “fourth power” in public discourse, this concept remains determined by common characte ristics in each usage, implying the deeper connection between the observed concepts that are used as synonyms for “fourth power” in the public disco urse. Common characteristics are identified through analysis of meaning, purposes and the context of usage of relevant concepts, as well as through the usage of an adapted method of historical logic of question and answer. author concludes that all of the analyzed usages of the “fourth power” con cept represent an answer to the same group of questions, or reflect a result of the search for solution of a existing sociopolitical issue in form of democratic control shortcomings.

НОВА ПАРАДИГМА МОЋИ – БАЛКАНСКА И ЈУГОСЛОВЕНСКА ИСКУШЕЊА

Author(s): Miodrag Ranković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3-4/2000

In contemporary society one could see evolution of power: military-technological, diplomatic-manipulative- media, and including of terorism and criminal in the system functioning. Basis of this is given in the expansion of „turbocapitalism” ( growth of national income, globalisation, arms market, new interventionism, etc). Ever larger disproportions in power gives new articulation of world „logic of power”.

Chronic Poverty: The Implications of Bullying, Trauma, and the Education of the Poverty-Stricken Population

Author(s): Kevin Johnson / Language(s): English Issue: Special/2019

Chronic poverty is a worldwide epidemic, and communities must take a proactive approach to assist the poor by extending a hand to lift them up and not hold them down. Tribulations are part of life, but are some afflictions selfimposed, escalated, or reinforced by living in deprived contextual environments. Poverty-stricken people experience more trauma throughout their lifetime; they are less educated than their counterpart, causing them to become targets in school, increasing their chances of being bullied and demoralized. Bullying is not a rite of passage, and it has lifelong effects that reveal itself in adulthood by strengthening generational curses, oppressing families and communities, expanding the educational gap, and reinforcing the cycle of chronic poverty. The research depicted in this article explores the correlation between poverty, human development, trauma, pedagogical implications, and bullying, characterizing the detrimental ramifications in adulthood. The paper analyzes bully symptomology, the etiology of traumatic experiences, and how the consequences of chronic poverty affect human development that expands the educational gap between minorities and white students. Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy is an effective empirically-based treatment modality to combat the symptoms of posttraumatic stress. School systems must do a better job of educating traumatized children living in poverty. The research ventures to explain chronic poverty's role in human development, traumatology, and education, taking an inclusive approach to providing solutions to create a cultural shift that will change the contextual environment and propel people to become selfsufficient, more educated, and equipped to break the generational curse of chronic poverty.

On Site Therapy Services: Access to Care in Chronic Trauma

Author(s): Shonda Lankford / Language(s): English Issue: Special/2019

Chronic poverty presents components of chronic trauma with one major deficit being lack of access to needed quality health care services. Often needed therapeutic services are not available and when available, challenges exist with time or travel constraints of therapists. Students who need therapeutic services such as occupational, physical or speech therapy can fail to thrive in academic expectations if supportive therapy is not provided. Integration of mental health therapy on-site with schools via regional community health organizations has proved effective. A comparative integration of physical health care services was instituted by Helping Hands Therapy to promote access of care for students living in underserved rural poverty areas with key focus on students in special needs programs. The approach rendered benefit to both school districts and students served in modalities of occupational, physical, and speech therapy. Contextual challenges continue to present in commonality with other on-site interventions such as recruitment of therapists, management of time and travel constraints, and increase of parental and caregiver involvement. Further research is indicated for ways to meet these challenges.

Globalisation as a Facilitator of Terrorism

Author(s): Genc Mekaj,Kreshnik Aliaj / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

Terrorism is a phenomenon that develops over time, always bringing about gradual change of form and activity. Terrorist groups organize terrorist attacks based on ideologies. Terrorism is one of the biggest problems facing the world today. Terrorists are always at odds with the rule of law, with the norms and ideals of civilization itself. Terrorism is the use of fear or violence to overthrow a government and society in accepting a radical political or social change. It is geographically widespread and ideologically selected. The process of globalization, which includes the technological, economic boom, cultural boundaries between countries around the world has fostered a culture corrupt market in traditional communities. Many places consider this as a threat to their country. Globalization has somewhat helped terrorism, moreover has brought the involvement of the latest and latest technologies.

Yes! Kissing Too… The Child Would Not Be Hurt in Any Way: Social Constructions of Child Sexual Abuse in the Ga Community in Ghana

Author(s): Ummu Markwei / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2019

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child obligates nations to protect children from all forms of abuse including sexual. However, child sexual abuse is a complex phenomenon which is difficult to understand as a result of cultural reasons. In view of this, the programs, policies, and interventions put in place to curb the phenomenon of child sexual abuse globally can only be effective if they are relevant to the social and cultural setting within which it happens. This is an exploratory study that sought to investigate social constructions of child sexual abuse in the Ga community. The study uses qualitative research methods to collect data from 42 respondents via six focus group discussions across three selected towns in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. The findings showed that sexual activities between adults and children that were regarded as acceptable did not constitute child sexual abuse. However, sexual behaviors between adults and children that were regarded as unacceptable were viewed as serious, hence, considered as sexual abuse. The findings of this study illustrate the need for appropriate cultural interventions in curbing the phenomenon of child sexual abuse in the Ga Community in Ghana.

An Essay on Self-Enslavement: The Pathology of Power and Control

Author(s): Andrew Blasko / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

This article discusses certain parallels between Du Bois’ notion of double consciousness, Fanon’s discussion of the neurotic inter-relationship between the colonial master and the native, and Marcuse’s concept of one-dimensionality in order to draw an analogy between enslavement and the status of citizen in advanced Western-style societies today. The aim is to explore the exercise of power within these societies and cast light upon the manner in which the discourse of freedom both constitutes and masks submission to power. The argument is made that submission has come to be regarded as the fulfillment of human potential insofar as we have learned to look at ourselves through the eyes of those who exercise power over us, having lost the ability to imagine that the situation in which we live could, and should, be different than it is. The conception of symbolic interaction as it is now typically employed is drawn into question for the difficulties it faces in addressing unbalanced interaction in the power-submission relationship. The concept of nouveau colonialism is developed in order to capture how the relations that once obtained between a metropole and its overseas colonial possessions have in a sense been replicated between those who exercise power and those subject to power within one and the same community.

INTYMAUS PARTNERIO SMURTĄ PATYRUSIŲ MOTERŲ POTRAUMINIS AUGIMAS

Author(s): Aistė Bakaitytė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 2/2019

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of psychological resilience, social support and non-support in post-traumatic growth of female survivors of intimate partner violence. Study was conducted online using social networks. 104 women participated in this study including 26 women still involved in a violent relationship and 78 women who have left their abusive partner.Women were asked about their violence experience by indicating type of violence and frequency, also there were questions about received social support and non-support, trauma symptoms, psychological resilience and post-traumatic growth. Type and frequency of abuse questionnaire (Tureikyte et. al., 2008) was used to indicate frequency of psychological, physical, economical and sexual abuse. Bosch support measure (Bosch & Bergen, 2006) was used to indicate perceived social support and non-support. Trauma Symptom Checklist – 40 (Briere & Runtz, 1989) was used to indicate trauma symptoms. The 14-Item Resilience Scale (Wagnild & Young, 1993) was used for measuring psychological resilience. And post-traumatic growth was indicated by A Short Form of The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (Cann et. al. 2010). Data were analyzed by conducting multiple comparisons between study variables and demographic characteristics in order to indicate which characteristics have to be controlled in regression analysis. Hierarchical regression model was constructed to predict post-traumatic growth.Results of the hierarchical regression analysis revealed that all study variables and controlled demographic characteristics predicted post-traumatic growth but only status of the relationship (leaving abusive partner), trauma symptoms and frequency of psychological abuse were significant predictors of post-traumatic growth. Results confirmed some theoretical assumptions of post-traumatic growth and emphasized the importance of leaving abusive partner in order to experience post-traumatic growth. It is important to notice, that experience of intimate partner violence causes a lot of suffering for women and posttraumatic growth can occur as changes that helps these women to make sense of these experiences and incorporate them into their life stories without negating the negative consequences these women face.

What Support? Foucault, Power, and the Construction of Rape

Author(s): Aliraza Javaid / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

This paper is concerned with the social and cultural constructions of male rape in voluntary agencies, England. Using sociological, cultural, and post-structural theoretical frameworks, mainly the works of Foucault, I demonstrate the ways in which male rape is constructed and reconstructed in such agencies. Social and power relations, social structures, and time and place shape their discourses, cultures, and constructions pertaining to male rape. This means that constructions of male rape are neither fixed, determined, nor unchanging at any time and place, but rather negotiated and fluid. I theorize the data—which was collected through semi-structured interviews and qualitative questionnaires—including male rape counselors, therapists, and voluntary agency caseworkers. The theoretical and conceptual underpinnings that frame and elucidate the data contribute to sociological understandings of male rape.

Foucault’da İktidar, Beden ve Özne Üçlüsü

Author(s): Orhan Bingöl / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 2/2019

Michel Foucault (1926-1984), one of the most important and original figures of the 20th century, worked on the issues that are almost exclusively mentioned with his name in contemporary sociology. These include medicine, madness, discipline, punishment and sexuality. In almost all his writings, Foucault placed variables such as power, discourse, knowledge, language, subject and body in an unchangeable center. When examined as a whole, one of the main components of Foucault's sociology is to disclose and criticize power that intends to create a subject through bodies. In other words, one of the main themes of Foucault's extensive and detailed writing is the interconnection of the triad power, body and subject. Therefore, this short article has the problem of summarizing Foucault from such a perspective.

ENJEUX MÉMORIELS DANS LE RÉCIT CARCÉRAL MAROCAIN

Author(s): Mohammed Dekhissi / Language(s): French Issue: 27/2019

The testimonies of Moroccan survivors, civilians and soldiers of years the lead, disclose highly traumatic prison experiences. These are narratives of life and - death if we should say - where memory issues are important. The aim of this paper is to provide a reflection on the memory staging, confronted with multiple forms of dehumanization, which refuses to surrender by constantly nurturing in dreams, tales and drifting imaginations. It is through these subterfuges that it transgresses the prison world and reinvents its own universe to keep itself alive and expressive. This custodial language is also the setting in narrative of a whole process created by a complex memory, which appeals to the olfaction, to the hearing and to the taste, so as to reconstruct landmarks in a chaotic space. The memory, in these narratives, tells by the superposition of the voices of the narrators and those of other characters, the crumbling and the dislocation of other memories.

Родно засновано партнерско насиље: конструкције наратива жена осуђених на казну затвора

Author(s): Lidija Radulovich / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/2019

This work presents results of a wider empirical research of the issue of gender based violence and violence against women as a problem rooted in structural systems of the patriarchate and the ideology of gender inequality. The goal of the research that was carried out in the Correctional Facility for Women in Požarevac, is to reassess theoretical concepts of “structural violence”, “cultural violence” and “patriarchal terrorism”. Revised are gender and patriarchal ideology, which gives legitimacy to direct and structural violence in a manner that makes it acceptable and unrecognizable as violence. Systematic violence from a partner is rooted in the patriarchal tradition which gives men the right to control their women by using not only physical violence, but maybe even more present forms of violence, like: economic violence, emotional violence, isolation, threats and many other forms of control. Narratives of women who suffered violence and killed their bullying partners, reveal their perceptions of the problem and construct a certain reality in which they were living prior to their arrival in the prison. To stay in a prison is undoubtedly a special kind of experience, and the initial event is anew survived by the probationers and “processed” while they are trying to find sense in their new living circumstances of staying in the prison. Certain social constructs and discourses can be recognized, among other things, in their narratives.

(НЕ)ЈЕДНАКОСТ ЉУДИ: ВЕЧНА – ПРЕДМОДЕРНА, МОДЕРНА И ПОСТМОДЕРНА – ИЛИ ДЕМОДЕ ПРАВНА ИДЕЈА?

Author(s): Jasminka Hasanbegović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 170/2019

This paper focuses on the idea of legal equality of human beings, and raises the following questions: Have the two Peters, Peter Westen and Peter Unger, been right when talking respectively of the empty idea of legal equality and empty ideas in general while criticizing analytic philosophy? Is the idea of legal equality of human beings empty, i.e. outdated? Can the idea of justice exist without the idea of equality? When did the equality of human beings arise as a legal idea? Was it in Ancient Greece? Which sophists argued for it? How did Aristotle understand it? What did the stoics think? Then, what was afterwards the perspective of Christianity and of all its different teachings (i.e. churches) on this idea, as well as on the legal practices radically denying it in modern times? Who was the liber homo from Magna Carta Libertatum, and how did liber homo become homo? And how did in modern times man transform into a human being who can be both male and female? Or, conversely, how did in modern times women, the coloured, the poor, the illiterate, the heterodox, and foreigners become human beings? What are the legal problems of the modern era that, before even being resolved, have been further enlarged and complicated by the postmodern equality issues (e.g. positive discrimination,the new, wider concept of legal subjectivity, legal protection of minorities, changed view on human homosexuality).
