Žene i procesi pomirenja u Bosni i Hercegovini: Izazov rodnim ulogama, usta(nov)ljenim narativima i performativnim praksama s osvrtom na religiju

Author(s): Zlatiborka Popov-Momčinović / Language(s): Bosnian

Pomirenje je termin koji se sve češće upotrebljava zahvaljujući obećavajućem razvoju mirovnih studija u zadnjih par decenija, ali i usled praktičkih uvida u njegov značaj zbog njegove sveoubuhvatnosti, različitih dimenzija, inicijativa i aktera/ki koje on involvira. Takođe, brojna istraživanja, što komparativna što kontekstualizovana u okviru određenih društvenih zajednica, kao i alati i konkretne aktivnosti koje se sprovode, ukazuju na njegov značaj. Međutim, pojam se neretko olako odbacuje a što je povezano sa njegovim nedovoljnim poimanjem, često usled bremenitosti tzv. abrahamskom tradicijom, ali i mogućnostima zloupotrebe. Imajući u vidu prirodu savremenih konflikta, više je nego očigledno da je pomirenje itekako važan pojam s obzirom da poziva ne na puki povratak na staro, već na obnovu novih relacija kako na horizontalnoj tako i na vertikalnoj ravni. Savremeni konflikti u svoj svojoj složenosti i brutalnosti češće se dešavaju unutar određene društvene zajednice, te je radi iskoraka iz istih neophodno uključiti različite aktere/ke i različite nivoe relacija. Statičnost pregovara, kao što primećuje Lederah, može da zaustavi rat; ali pomirenje u širem smislu pretpostavlja i odsustvo tj. rad na uklanjanju različitih oblika diskriminacije, promociju kulture dijaloga i uravnoteženu raspodelu resursa (Galtung).

Author(s): Alfred Dillmann / Language(s): German

This book is a document of anti-Roma racism in German (more exactly Bavarian) routine administration. Thirty years before NAZI racism came to power the Ministry for Internal Affairs had developed a project (in 2020 we would call it a “big-data-project”) of identification and detailed registration of all Sinti, Roma and Egyptians in Bavaria. The author Alfred Dillmann, a high-ranking member of the Munich Police staff, published this book a partly a manual for other civilian and police administrators, in its main part he is listing the first results of such registration-activities at the moment of publication.This book is a document of Anti-Gypsies racism in German (more exactly Bavarian) routine administration three decades before NAZI racism came to power. In 1899, under Dillmann's leadership in Munich, the "Intelligence Service for the Security Police Regarding Gypsies", for short "Gypsy Headquarter", began by creating a file of all "Gypsies" in Germany who were older than six years. In addition to identification data, genealogical data and above all information on delinquency were also collected. In 1905, Dillmann's Gypsy Book was compiled from this collection, which contained details of 3,350 people and was made available to the police departments. (WIKIPEDIA). Alfred Dillmann, who made his career up to the rank of a president of the Royal Bavarian Police, published this book as partly a manual for other civilian and police administrators; however, in its main part he is listing the first results of such registration-activities of the past 8 years.

LES TSIGANES. Histoire. – Ethnographie. – Linguistique, - Grammaire. – Dictionnaire.

Author(s): C. J. Popp Serboianu / Language(s): French

In publishing this work, I only wanted to add a stone to the edifice of linguistic knowledge of the Gypsy people, an edifice begun by predecessors, some of which date back several centuries. The linguistic material in this book refers to the "Oursari" and "Ciurari" Gypsies of Wallachia, with the exception of a few words taken from the "Vatrashi" vocabulary. // En publiant le présent travail, je n’ai voulu qu’apporter une pierre à l’édifice de la connaissance linguistique du peuple tsigane, édifice commencé par des prédécesseurs, dont quelques-uns remontent à plusieurs siècles en arrière. Le matériel linguistique de ce livre se réfère aux Tsiganes « Oursari » et « Ciurari » de Valachie, à l’exception de quelques mots tirés du vocabulaire des « Vatrashi ».

Die nationale Minderheit

Author(s): Otto Junghann / Language(s): German

In the present publication the attempt has been made to convey an idea of the main aspects of the minority problem with just a few strokes. On the one hand, the fundamentals should come out as clearly as possible - on the other, the diversity of the phenomena of life that oppose the seeker for a problem solution should at least be hinted at. The attempt is made to show the place that the minority question occupies within the broader context of world events. Given the limited volume of the booklet, there can be no question of an exhaustive treatment of the question. The concrete statements about the actual situation also required extreme restrictions. The figures used in the text and in the tables in the appendix are based on the latest studies by the German Society for Nationality Law, Berlin-Steglitz, unless they are taken from the 1930 Ethno-Political Almanac published on behalf of the Berlin-Steglitz Institute for Border and Foreign Studies.

Europäisches Schicksal

Author(s): Konrad Heiden / Language(s): German

Published in 1937 by Querido-Verlag (Amsterdam) the author offers an essay about the situation of Modern Civilization facing the results of sociographic, technical, intellectual, cultural and political development since the industrial revolution. // Konrad Heiden (born August 7, 1901 in Munich, † June 18, 1966 in New York City) was a German-American journalist and political writer who wrote Hitler's first substantial biography in 1936. // The social democratic journalist has been writing about the political scene in Munich since the early 1920s and thus became one of the earliest observers and a staunch opponent of the Nazi movement and Adolf Hitler. After Hitler came to power, Heiden fled to the USA via several stations and obtained American citizenship in the 1950s. Heiden dealt primarily with the ideology and character of National Socialism. // After his death, Heiden and his writings were quickly forgotten. Since 2007, however, his works on Hitler and National Socialism have been reprinted or re-edited in German for the first time.

Polonia irredenta?

Author(s): Fritz Rathenau / Language(s): German

Only the Prussian constitution of 1848 made the Poles living in Prussia Prussian citizens; they had "no longer to be regarded as Prussian Poles, but as Polish Prussians". The legal situation that was created at that time has fundamentally not changed over the past decades. However, general legal understanding has progressed over time. In particular, the international treaties that ended the World War created the concept of "national minorities" and introduced it into practical politics. The "national minorities" of Prussia and, thus, of the German Reich include those German Reich or Prussian nationals who are willing to preserve and cultivate their own and unique Polish nationality in the foreign state association - according to descent, customs, customs and traditions and to continue to exist within it as a nationally united Polish community. In terms of constitutional law, the Polish minority in Prussia can only be described as “Polish Prussians” in the sense of Prussian nationals of Polish origin. Anyone who possesses Prussian or German nationality — possession of which is a conceptual prerequisite for someone being able to count themselves among the national minorities in Prussia or Germany — cannot at the same time be “Pole”, i.e. non-German; On the other hand, anyone who is Poles, i.e. foreigners, does not belong to the national minority and therefore cannot derive any rights from this characteristic. "Member of a minority" and "foreigner" are two mutually exclusive terms: Every member of the minority is also a citizen of the state in which he resides. A “Prussian Pole” could therefore not exist in itself: because a “Pole” living in Prussia cannot also be a “Prussian” as a foreigner! The antithesis: "Prussian Poles or Polish Prussians?" is therefore legally unfounded and untenable.

БЪЛГАРСКАТА ОБЩЕСГВЕНОСТЬ ЗА РАСИЗМА И АНТИСЕМИТИЗМА. Анкета между видни представители на българската общественость, наука, литература, изкуство

Author(s): / Language(s): Bulgarian

ONE of the main tasks of the Jewish intelligentsia is to combat racial hatred and anti-Semitism. Centuries-old prejudices and open incitements on the part of prominent public circles create an atmosphere of hostility in some of the countries in Europe and America. Apart from the persecutions to which the ethnic minority elements are exposed in certain countries, the Jews are the object of a systematic and well-organized propaganda in most of the countries of south-eastern Europe. Especially in a great country, whose past speaks of a great rise in all fields of human genius, the Jews are de facto disenfranchised, as human beings and citizens, deprived of the opportunity to exercise their prerogatives as subjects of the country. … The offered book is the work of one editor whose efforts to illuminate and combat racism and anti-Semitism are known to the public.

Прокламираната фирмена култура във виртуалното пространство – тенденции и предизвикателства

Author(s): Kiril Dimitrov,Ivaylo B. Ivanov,Marin Geshkov / Language(s): Bulgarian

The turbulent development of the economic and social phenomena, objects and relationships that took place during the last decade of the twentieth and first two decades of the twenty-first century outlined several problem areas in the management of the prosperous companies all over the world. The array of the most famous problem areas includes the use of quantitative methods, management by objectives, total quality management, the idea of "the perfect company", the implementation of strategic management, anti-crisis management, and corporate culture, in which basic assumptions and shared values of personnel members are the foundation of corporate existence and the key to establishing and maintaining a healthy balance of interests among the various stakeholders. Over the same period, these overlapping areas became a kind of "growth catalysts" for successful business organizations, and they were passing through the world as waves of managerial fashion, the movements of which varied from west to east and from north to south, although the contributions of the East and the South (Japan, "the Asian Tigers" and "the World Factory" - China) cannot be underestimated either. For many reasons and for great regret these waves reached to Bulgaria with a long delay and weakened power. The research question about design and disclosure of professed firm culture in the virtual realm within the member companies of eight local employers' organizations is posed in this monography, especially given the widespread penetration of information technologies in the business world and the presence of foreign "players" on Bulgarian market in various forms due to globalization. In this way, the current trends in description and presentation of the specific official firm culture are delineated by the founders of the respective business (and/or later changed by the organizational leaders of the existing company) in the context of cultural diversity in the implementation of the strategic management at organizational level, the functioning of the relationship "culture - strategy", the peculiarities of organizational realizations at different cultural levels and other factors. At the same time, the main approaches and challenges to the creation and disclosure of the most widely used elements of professed firm culture are presented, and reasonable advice is given to managers in business organizations. The monograph can be useful not only for university students, but also for managers and practitioners regardless of the economic sector, where they contribute or the life cycle of the respective companies in a case that cultural interventions are aimed at solving (resolving, absolving) business-related organizational problems.

Arctic 8 Policy: Reassessing International Relations

Author(s): / Language(s): English

The Arctic is a harsh geography that has historically been misconceived as a large ice mass, ignoring the complex strategic salience of the region. Its cold waters and frozen lands have attracted the attention of people for many years and have been the centre of discoveries and adventures. Today, however, the strategic importance of the Arctic has gone beyond discoveries and adventures. Factors, such as environmental erosion, climate change, and national or regional security complicate geopolitical dynamics in the region.This book begins by delving into the issues that have led Arctic countries to reorient their foreign policies. The geopolitical structure of the Arctic, the expansion of NATO, the emergence of new energy reserves, and the impact of climate change on the Arctic are some of the factors directly affecting the region. Then, within the framework of these influences, the policies of the eight Arctic countries are re-assessed from the perspective of international relations.This volume not only emphasises the geopolitical and strategic importance of the Arctic region, but also discusses conflicts of interest, international cooperation efforts, and possible future scenarios. The Arctic is not just a geography, but also an important part of global politics and security. This book is a guide to understanding the complex and dynamic nature of the Arctic region.

Komunikacja marketingowa w kreowaniu wizerunku instytucji kultury na przykładzie muzeów narodowych

Author(s): Katarzyna Śmiałowicz / Language(s): Polish

Monografia dotyczy ważnej problematyki znaczenia komunikacji marketingowej w kształtowaniu wizerunku instytucji kultury na przykładzie muzeów narodowych. Infrastruktura muzeów w Polsce systematycznie się rozwija, jednocześnie zmieniają się rola oraz funkcje muzeów. Zmiany te dotyczą m.in. zarządzania, marketingu, a także objawiają się w nowym podejściu do tworzenia wartości kulturowej. Współczesne instytucje kultury powinny być nie tylko otwarte i dostępne, powinny również komunikować się z otoczeniem społecznym, a szczególnym ich zadaniem jest zainteresowanie młodych dorosłych odbiorców (generacji Z). Muzea i galerie narodowe o profilu artystycznym, udostępniające najważniejsze narodowe kolekcje, mierzą się z podobnymi problemami w większości krajów Europy. Są to wielooddziałowe instytucje, najczęściej niedofinansowane, które stają w obliczu niespotykanej dotychczas konkurencji związanej z dostępnością wielu innych form spędzania wolnego czasu. Na podstawie studiów literaturowych oraz badań empirycznych autorka podjęła się identyfikacji i oceny znaczenia działań z zakresu komunikacji marketingowej muzeów narodowych w kształtowaniu wizerunku tych instytucji kultury wśród młodych dorosłych odbiorców. Projekt dofinansowany ze środków budżetu państwa, przyznanych przez Ministra Edukacji i Nauki w ramach Programu "Doskonała nauka II. Moduł: Wsparcie monografii”.

Faszyzacja antyfaszyzmu

Author(s): Joanna Getka,Jolanta Darczewska / Language(s): Polish

This book, which builds upon our previous volume „Rus’ Abducted? Russia’s War over the Identity of Ukraine”, offers a clear explanation of complex mechanisms of Russia’s war against the West, along with its methods used in both the virtual and physical spaces. The book also lays bare the mechanism of power in Russia, especially her constant eagerness to provoke armed conflicts and wars. This longue durée process requires a continuous renewal and adjustment of stereotypical confrontation scenarios, which results in collisions of meanings, associated as these are with the imperialist symbolic order being bent to fit the moment’s needs.

Dekodowanie konstrukcji słowotwórczych przez dzieci w wieku przedszkolnym z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną w stopniu lekkim na tle normy rozwojowej

Author(s): Mateusz Szurek / Language(s): Polish

The publication, which is part of the author's doctoral dissertation, remains within the sphere of interest of both special pedagogy, psycholinguistics and speech therapy. The research steps taken served to objectively diagnose and descript the interrelated properties of children's speech, including, in particular, vocabulary competence manifested in the processes of understanding vocabulary constructions, in relation to their global development and the development of their peers in the norm. The linguistic analysis of decoding (understanding) of vocabulary constructions by five- and six-year-old children with mild intellectual disabilities was referred to the material collected among children of typical development, of the same or similar mental and metric age. In order to answer the difficult questions, including the dynamics of vocabulary development in children with mild intellectual disabilities, possible delays, identity or qualitative and quantitative dissimilarity in the acquisition of vocabulary rules in relation to children with typical development, the subject of the study was covered nouns that constitute the most numerous class of parts of speech and form the core of the dictionary. Only mutational derivatives were analyzed in detail, due to the large number of responses collected during the study. This book is an attempt to show the development of vocabulary skills in the situation of the child's cognitive limitations in the form of mild intellectual disabilities, at the stage of the formation of the entire linguistic system, i.e., in the interlingual period, only with regard to the decoding of word constructions. Thus, it is one part of the author's series of publications on in-depth studies of the vocabulary competence of preschool children with mild intellectual disabilities.

Edukacja filozoficzna w Indiach wczesnego okresu upaniszadowego

Author(s): Michał Nowicki / Language(s): Polish

This publication is the first Polish-language presentation of the history of philosophical education in ancient India. The titular issue deserves special attention, as it goes back to the well-documented sources of this phenomenon and the beginnings of Hindu philosophical thought, revealing the roots of yoga, which today enjoy such popularity. Although the book is scientific in its nature, it is addressed to a broad audience interested in Indian culture. It shows how the phenomenon of philosophical education came into being and became deeply rooted in the original initiation structures. It discusses issues related to: (1) the proper goal of education, focusing on the issues of human suffering, liberation from it, obstacles that stand in the way of achieving this goal, and finally, human cognitive potential; (2) selection of the subjects for education, including the issues of mythical origins, the issues of cognition, atman and brahman, states of consciousness and the issue of identity or the law of karma; (3) methods of educational work, taking into account the issues of initiation and the issue of direct experience of a mystical nature, the role of words in the teaching process or the beginnings of the yoga tradition. What emerges from the narrative is the rich world of philosophical explorations, full of enthusiasm and affirmation of life and faith in the possibility of achieving unconditional happiness - a world that respects tradition and boldly seeks new ways to fulfill its potential in the best possible way.

Организационно лидерство чрез провъзгласена култура

Author(s): Kiril Dimitrov,Kaloyan Dimitrov,Petya Slavova / Language(s): Bulgarian

The challenges, confronting companies that operate in Bulgaria in the second and third decades of the twenty-first century require their managers to constantly make efforts to attract, retain, engage and energize the people contributing to the successful long-lasting existence of the respective businesses in their role as the only source of sustainable competitive advantage, not subject to timely copying by competitors, even under the conditions of disruptive innovations. That is why managers often have to go outside their comfort zone by experimenting in specific organizational contexts, deliberately pursuing enrichment in the systematization of implemented human resource management methods. For this reason, the special position of organizational leadership, the creation of a specific corporate (firm, company) culture and the nature of realizing effective interaction between them as a driver for the successful development of companies in the modern dynamic business environment is substantiated in this collective monograph. Based on an in-depth and critical literature analysis, the contributions of selected postmodern theories and management approaches, as well as targeted new characteristics of business organizations to achieving organizational leadership, are grounded. This allows the formulation of a useful and modern definition of the concept of "organizational leadership". From this starting point, the role of corporate culture for the creation, maintenance and development of organizational leadership is started to be substantiated through the mandatory clarification of the important for scientific research and management practice relationships such as "innovation – culture", "organizational leadership – corporate culture" and "organizational leadership – formal corporate culture", the study of which would assist managers in dealing with the problems that confront the business, due to undertaking social innovation, unlearning old practices, adopting and embedding in consciousness new ways of thinking and acting, especially through appropriate formulation and public disclosure to stakeholders of their strategic business intentions. In connection with the latter, on the basis of the results of the theoretical and empirical research, the essential characteristics of the elements of the proclaimed organizational culture, comprising its structure, are derived and an updated definition of the concept of "proclaimed firm culture" is proposed. Specific recommendations are provided to senior managers to gain leadership positions through their companies in terms of uncovering the proclaimed organizational culture with a view to achieving sustainable competitive advantage. This monograph represents a significant step in the development of management theory related to organizational leadership and its cultural dimensions
