Početak ovog teksta smešta se u Zagreb. Tamo stižem na poziv Ankice Čakardić, jedne od članica ad hoc kružoka kojeg smo 2010. godine, okupivši se povodom petnaestogodišnjice zagrebačkog Centra za ženske studije, nazvale treći talas/val postjugoslo/a/venskog feminizma. Kružok je odista bio samo za tu priliku: dobio je ime u spontanom činu okupljanja i bez namere da preraste u čvrstu koaliciju koju odlikuju jasno određeni ciljevi i definisan program. Danijela Dugandžić-Živanović, Ankica, Jasmina Husanović, Jelena Petrović i ja – a neke od nas se tu, na licu mesta, doslovno upoznaju – postajemo čudan generacijski, teorijski i aktivistički spoj: nije prijateljstvo ono što među nama unapred predstavlja kohezivnu silu, već je to izvesno prepoznavanje u mišljenju i delovanju.

Ova knjiga je namenjena prvenstveno ženama. Ovoga puta, razlog tome nije činjenica da je ona zbilja o ženama, niti činjenica da su je pisale isključivo žene. Ona je u jednom važnom smislu namenjena – posvećena – ženama, budući da je upravo iz te potrebe da se ženama nešto nameni i posveti i izrastao ovaj poduhvat. Naime, posvećena je raznim, možda nepoznatim, ali nama lično tako značajnim ženama kojima je svaka od nas želela da preda ovaj rukopis kao mogući putokaz kroz istoriju ideja usredsređenu na život žena. Posvećena je, međutim, i svim onim ženama koje će je čitati s odbravanjem, prepoznajući nešto svoje u njoj, ali i svim onima koje će se s njom sporiti.

In India, language is the key instrument by which we assimilate the culture. And it is a major means of identifying a set of people, nation or country.Hinglish, a portmanteau of “Hindi” and “English”, is a hybrid of English and SouthAsian languages. It is a code-switching and mixing variety of these languages whereby they are freely interchanged within a sentence or between sentences. Ina multilingual country like India code-mixing and switching has become a norm rather than a deviation. It is also noticed that linguists use the term code-mixing and switching interchangeably, especially in case of formal studies on syntax and morphology. Language contact is considered to be an important phenomenon, especially in a multilingual society like India. While the name is based on the Hindi language, it does not refer exclusively to Hindi, but is used in India, with English words blending with Punjabi, Urdu and Hindi. With the advent of modern technology, and the availability of popular media in fingertips, from a toddler to a nonagenerian, the very concept of language, culture and communication has undergone a huge change. Hinglish and code-mixing and switching has crept its way into advertisements, TV shows, and Bollywood movies as well as the corridors of corporate and political power in India. This paper is an empirical study of code mixed and switched utterances in the form of songs, ad taglines and jingles in Indian media which came into existence as a by-product of modern technology and changed the definition of communication in Indian media.

The role of religion and culture in socio-economic development can not be underestimated. Coupled with socio-economic advancement, the postcolonial and contemporary African society is characterised by unprecedented rise in the level of religious movements with diverse contradicting beliefs championed by so called spiritual and religious leaders. The overwhelming socio-economic downturn in the society has meant that people have turned to religion for solutions to their problem but the church has not really lived up to expectation which writer likeSoyinka portrayed in his text. Considering the above mentioned, this study textually analysed Wole Soyinka’s The Trials of Brother Jero from a postcolonial theoretical perspective with the aims of exploring religious dynamics vis-à-vis cultural /moral degradation as portrayed in the text. It further resonates the place of culture in the contemporary religious environment. Moral degradation is captured from the characters of brother Jero, the old prophet, Jeroboam and the drummer boy where lack of respect for elders, covetous exploitation by spiritual leaders, materialism, falsehood and deceit are exemplified in religious setting as depicted in the text.

The article deals with legal and economic sources of process re-orientation of a municipal company. In case of municipal activity it is not the competition but the quick growth of investment that forces business entities to verify their business models. The growing costs of maintaining and implementing public services force the growth of managerial competencies and the search for better organization methods. The case study of the Nowy Sącz Water Company presented in the article is an example of changes occurring in the area of organization and management of public utilities. The process re-orientation creates possibilities of improving the business model and, inter alia, increasing the value provided to customers by more efficient management.
