“New Historical Demography” in Russia: evolution or a leap?

Author(s): Vladimir Vladimirov,Dmitriy Sarafanov,Anna Shchetinina / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2016

The article examines the main features of the “New Historical Demography” which developed in Russia during the 1990s. The authors analyze factors and trends in social science and the humanities that have influenced the formation of this new research strand and review the main problem issues related to its definition, status and methodology, as well as its impact on alterations in the primary source base, methods and tools of historical demographic inquiry. Modern Russian centers involved in “new historical demographic” research are presented in the European comparative perspective. The authors conclude that historical demography has become a driving force behind introducing computer technologies in historical research. The article notes certain successes of “New Historical Demography” in Russia, but emphasizes the need to shift from “extensive” to “intensive” development, and suggests integration with modern European historical demographic programs and the transition from local to pan-Russian databases as means to achieve this.

„Medycyna jest nauką społeczną, a polityka to nic innego, jak medycyna na szeroką skalę”. Rudolf Virchow a społeczne nauki stosowane

Author(s): Borys Cymbrowski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2019

The present article discusses the influence on the development of applied sciences exerted by Rudolf Virchow (1821–1902) – a German physician, pathologist, anthropologist and political activist, who is considered the father of Public Health and Social Medicine. His research on medical aspects of poverty lead him to conclusion that radical solutions are needed in providing medical care, but also in education and public policies. The main stress is put on the social dimension of Virchow’s thinking and its impact on practice.

„My” bez „onych”

Author(s): Zygmunt Bauman / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 666/2016

Do tej pory nasi przodkowie integrowali się dzięki posiadaniu wspólnego wroga. Ale teraz – gdy mówimy o jednej, globalnej ludzkości – gdzie znaleźć tego wroga? Ulrich Beck, jeden z największych, najbardziej wnikliwych współczesnych socjologów, bardzo prosto i jasno opisał to zjawisko. Powiedział: „Już teraz żyjemy w rzeczywistości kosmopolitycznej". Jesteśmy w niej, czy tego chcemy czy nie, po prostu się w niej znaleźliśmy.

„Opustíš-li mne, zahyneš…“ Akademická dráha Otakara Machotky a dalších českých sociologů v emigraci po únoru 1948

Author(s): Zdeněk R. Nešpor / Language(s): Czech / Issue: 05/2017

This article focuses on Czech sociologists who left Czechoslovakia immediately after the communist coup in February 1948 and their subsequent academic and personal fates in exile. Attention is devoted principally to Otakar Machotka (1899–1970), a prominent figure in both Czech political life and pre-Marxist Czech sociology with strong personal and methodological ties to the Chicago School; this article’s research draws on his correspondence and on other archived sources. Machotka’s special circustances worked to his favour in the United States where he was offered excellent academic positions. However, Machotka was opposed to the sociological mainstream(s) of his time and (unsuccessfully) attempted to establish his own school between sociology and social psychology. After that he accepted a tenured position at a marginal non-research university and failed to gain an audience in wider American or international academia. On a personal level, he preferred to focus on his family and social work rather than to take part in the academic game. In this he was perhaps influenced by the bleak fates of two of his colleagues in exile, František Rouček (1891–1952) and Zdeněk Ullrich (1901–1955), both of whom gave priority to their professional careers, which took them to Africa, where they both met an early death. Members of the youngest cohort of Czech post-February 1948 exiled sociologists, however, enjoyed happier fates, gaining some international academic renown, but only after graduating (anew) from western universities.

„Spóźnieni przybysze” ery nacjonalizmów. Przyczynek do dyskursu na temat procesów narodowotwórczych w Azji

Author(s): Adam W. Jelonek / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2017

As Anthony Smith notes in his classic work on nationalism, the modern world order is inseparable from the institution of the nation-state. However, as he repeatedly emphasized, the nation-state was not always and not everywhere a basic political entity. While according to Gellner, the era of nationalism in Europe has come in the 19th century, the 20th century in the history of East Asia was the time of mass process of emerging nations. Shaping of the system of theoretically equal sovereign states, described in not very adequate way as a „Westphalian system”, lasted in Asia much longer than in Europe. The Western concept of territorial sovereignty, considering the state as a source of autonomous law and the subject of relations with other sovereign states, for many centuries was not so obvious. The rule of internal sovereignty - which in local conditions was lost in various networks of feudal dependencies and complex relations of patronage and clientelism- seemed to be not obvious to anyone. This text is devoted to the complexities of nation-building process in East Asia from the perspective of classical (Western) theories of nationalism.

„Unutrašnji kolonijalizam“ – prilog istoriji koncepta

Author(s): Milan Subotić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 2/2018

Starting from the renewed interest into the concept of the “internal colonialism” within the contemporary “postcolonial studies”, this paper discusses the origin and the meaning of the concept in various theoretical traditions and scientific fields. The first part interprets “internal colonialism” and “internal colonization” from the perspective of historical and political-economic debates on the Russian and Soviet imperial structure, and from the sociological critique o the social development of the Stalinist epoch. The second part is dedicated to the analysis of the effect and limitations of the use of the concept in interpreting the integrative (French) nationalism and interpreting the reactive, (Celtic) minority nationalisms within Great Britain. In the final part the author has interpreted the meanings that „internal colonialism“ had in sociological analysis of the states of the „capitalist periphery“ (Latin America) and in the political discourse of the “New Left” protest movements in the USA as a “capitalist metropolis”. By pointing out the close connection of the analyses of “colonialism in one country” with Marxist tradition of research into class structure of society, the author concludes that the concept of “internal colonialism” today is primarily used as a metaphor that finds a useful application within the “cultural studies”. From that point of view, the history of the concept illustrates the change of the theoretical discourse that characterises social sciences after the “cultural turn”.

„Един тъй малък свят“: Международната мрежа на социолозите франкофони във времето и пространството

Author(s): Patricia Vannier / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 3-4/2017

Created in 1958 by Georges Gurvitch and Henri Janne to resist the domination of the American sociology, the international association of the sociologists of French-speaking represents the third international association of sociology today. At first, this article looks back to the circumstances of its foundation and to the stake in French as working language in international congresses to try then to establish the characteristics of this French-speaking network of the sociology in the time and the space. It examines its policy of membership, the places of its congresses and its themes but also the composition of its executive offices. So, since the 1980s, the sociologists of Maghreb and Middle East, Black Africa and Eastern Europe became a little more visible but the French-speaking network remains always dominated by France and other founding countries (Belgium, Canada and Switzerland). Finally, the world of the AISLF appears as “small world” nevertheless very necessary for the sociological plurality and its dynamism.

ЈЕДАН ВЕК СРПСКЕ СОЦИОЛОГИЈЕ

Author(s): Milovan M. Mitrović / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: Sp. Iss/2012

This paper outlines the genesis and development of Serbian sociology in the 20th century. The first institutional center of sociology in Serbia was the Faculty of Law in Belgrade. In the period between the two World Wars, sociology was especially needed by lawyers, who were searching ways to establish a modern legal system in the new Yugoslav state, which was burdened with many structural and developmental problems such as: (1) form of state government and political relations among the South Slavs, (2) class and regional inequalities, (3) delayed and uneven modernization of underdeveloped peasant society.

In the fourth and main part I discuss the basis of its scientific program. In the final part I try to establish implications of the adoption of this program as a guide for the sociological enterprise in the future.

ШТА ЋЕ БИТИ СА СОЦИОЛОГИЈОМ У СРБИЈИ?

Author(s): Zoran M. Avramović / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 3-4/2001

Свака наука, поред суштинских питања теоријских знања о области коју проучава, мора да се суочава и с питањима о себи, о развоју властите професије, о кадровским перспективама и практичним – моралним проблемима које покушава да реши. Овде се неће разматрати стање социологије у свету, делу света (Европа) или неким државама, већ у Републици Србији, почетком трећег миленијума. У каквом је стању социолошка наука данас у Србији?
