Zestaw powszechnie znanych prawd o polskim społeczeństwie zawiera cechy nader niepokojące: skłonność do narzekania, pesymizm, niski poziom kapitału społecznego, zawiść i wiele innych. Składają się one na syndrom zbiorowości aspołecznej, niezdolnej do współdziałania. Ten negatywny autowizerunek ma całkiem realne konsekwencje. Jeśli wiemy, że Polacy nie są zdolni do współpracy, to wybieramy strategie indywidualistyczne. Trudno jednak rozstrzygnąć, czy wybór strategii indywidualistycznej wynika z niezdolności do współpracy – cokolwiek by to miało oznaczać, czy z przekonania, że ponieważ wszyscy wiemy, że nie jesteśmy zdolni do współpracy, współpraca nie może się udać. Negatywne autostereotypy, które dominują w przestrzeni publicznego dyskursu, wymagają więc namysłu i wnikliwej analizy. Niewykluczone bowiem, że są one nie tyle opisem rzeczywistości, co mechanizmem jej tworzenia, przekształcając przestrzeń publiczną w permanentny dylemat więźnia.

Most of the male citizens of the former Yugoslavia who belong to the middle and older generations share the experience of having served in the Yugoslav People’s Army [Jugoslovenska narodna armija, henceforth the JNA]. The army service was mandatory for all men after they turned eighteen and/or graduated from high school (Milićević 2006: 266). Material signs of this shared experience are photographs made during the army service, which still may be found in family albums, boxes, and drawers in virtually every home in the former Yugoslav lands. The present analysis is based on narratives and photographs collected among the number of former Yugoslav men of all nationalities who served in the JNA

This text examines the institutionalisation of norms for proper physical and mental status of Bulgarian school youth at the beginning of the 20th century. The analysis focuses on two interrelated issues: how certain cultural images of (un)fit body and (ab)normal mind reasoned the introduction of professional (medico-pedagogical) roles in the Bulgarian secondary schools, and how such images prescribed “health selection” in the production of individual and collective identities: “student” – “(school) youth” – “people”/“nation”/ race”).

Publikacija koja je pred vama nastala je na osnovu druženja, učenja i saradnje Sarajevskog otvorenog centra sa transeksualnim i transrodnim osobama, budući da su se kroz intenzivan rad sama od sebe nametnula pitanja i problemi koji se tiču njihovog svakodnevnog života, tj. zdravstvenog, pravnog, društvenog i svakog drugog položaja u BiH. Posljednjih godina sve više transrodnih i transeksualnih osoba javlja nam se za razgovor, savjet ili pomoć. Uzajamnim radom sa neformalnom grupom Trans* BiH obilježili smo i javno se oglasili povodom svih važnih datuma za transrodne osobe. Također smo zajedno organizovali i regionalnu radionicu osnaživanja trans* osoba iz BiH i regiona, nakon čega je u junu 2015. godine uslijedila i prva regionalna konferencija u BiH „Dijalog o transrodnosti“ koja je okupila trans* osobe i stručnjake i stručnjakinje koje se bave ovom tematikom, a koje dolaze iz zdravstvenog, pravnog i civilnog sektora.

Parenthood is often viewed as a period with more changes in mother's life than fathers in terms of cultural aspects and society's assumption that mothers are the main sources of child care. At the same time, the roles of the family and the relationships between parteners have changed in Western societies, compared to the traditional model, in which father is being more involved in caring and educating children.Most of the studies that have been done, have construct, validated and/or used tools that measure the relationship between parent and child, but the approach to parental assuming, especially in the context of childbirth, has been neglected. The need to construct this instrument has come from the intention to analyze the extent to which the assuming of the parental role during the transition to parenthood influences marital satisfaction. So, in this study we constructed and validated the Parental Role Assuming (PRA) tool. Exploratory factorial analysis was performed to identify the parental component's factorial structure by using component analysis and varimax rotation. A structure of the construct tool model indicates three factors for the 13 items with a percentage of 59.49 of the total item variance.The validity of the convergent construct was obtained by significant correlations of the scale with the close items of the PCRI instrument [6]. Regarding the fidelity of the instrument, we obtained a total alpha cronbach of 0.81, and for the three subscale the internal consistency ranged from 0.80 to 0.70.

TPO Fondacija je tokom 2015. godine, u okviru projekta „Inicijativa za kreativni dijalog i edukaciju (IKDE)“, počela s radom na drugom izdanju stripa „NIRA“. Radeći s učenicima i učenicama srednjih škola kroz radionice koje uključuju teme o građanskom aktivizmu, angažiranoj umjetnosti, ljudskim pravima te radi potrebe za nastavkom učenja o vlastitim pravima i obavezama u zajednici u kojoj živimo, TPO Fondacija je pokrenula publiciranje novih priča o junakinji Niri u drugoj ediciji istoimenog stripa. Novih pet epizoda stripa „NIRA“ držat će vašu pozornost i potaknuti vas na razmišljanje o vašem vlastitom djelovanju u zajednici u kojoj živite. Učeći da ne smijemo biti slijepi pred nepravdom, „NIRA“ će nas ponukati da preispitamo vlastitu odgovornost prema sebi i drugima.

U okviru projekta „Inicijativa za kreativni dijalog i edukaciju (IKDE)“, TPO Fondacija je pokrenula publiciranje stripa „NIRA“ kako bi ljudska prava približila mladim ljudima, posebno tinejdžerima. Vodeći se idejom da mladi ljudi trebaju biti nositelji promjena u društvu kroz različite aktivnosti, TPO Fondacija je kreirala poseban materijal koji će ih na primjeren način potaknuti da artikuliraju pitanja ljudskih prava u svom okruženju. Strip „NIRA“ kao izražajna forma, koja komunicira različite poruke ispreplitanjem slike i riječi o ljudskim pravima i njihovoj primjeni, potiče mlade da uče, promišljaju i rade, te na taj način spajaju kreativnost i građanski aktivizam. Junakinja ovog stripa, Nira, na autentičan način predstavlja jedan od modela angažirane mlade osobe i osviještene građanke koja vlastitim primjerom svakodnevno pokazuje hrabrost i inicijativu za promjene u društvu. Ona je svjesna poteškoća s kojima se susreće društvo u kojem živi, ali se opire pasivnom, inertnom i jednoličnom društvu koje svojom šutnjom i neaktivizmom dopušta kršenje ljudskih prava. Ustrajna je u svojim ciljevima, podiže svoj glas i pokreće se, ne dopuštajući da pred mojim očima vlada nepravda i bezakonje. Svojim idejama, željama i aktivizmom pridobiva podršku svojih prijatelja/ica te uspijeva promijeniti stavove okoline.

Internet memes are a basic representative of online folklore, which naturally arises and lives as part of virtual communication. Similar to political jokes, some of them comment on, gloss over, criticize and satirize political and social events, making them part of political participation and communication „from bellow“. The purpose of this case study is to use the example of the Slovak online platform Zomri [Die] to show how an amateur entertainment project, which is part of participatory online culture, became part of a societal discussion thanks to social network and popularity. Attention is paid to various actors (site admins, the public, politicians, media), the activities of those actors and the spillovers outside the internet environment. The study combines folkloristic theoretical starting points with approaches from media and pop culture studies. It is based on long-term online research of the platforms, its content, secondary activities and spillovers into other areas of the online and offline environment. It also builds on the analysis of media interviews and discussion with platform admins.

The article presents a study of the “fake news” problem from an emic perspective, focusing on media practices. The study aims to place people as conscious and active subjects of cultural production and consumption at the analysis’s centre and present the problem through their actions, reactions and interpretations. Different cases of questionable content circulating through Bulgarian media space are analysed, and their functions and uses are outlined. Two main functions of fake news are specified: 1) as an aspect of popular culture and 2) as a genre of disinformation. The features of users’ reception and interpretation, the subversive impact of fake news in the media ecosystem and its usage in the so-called ‘information wars’ are examined in detail. The conclusions emphasise the role of humour and laughter as mechanisms of counteraction.
