Author(s): Philip Gounev,Marko Hajdinjak,Antonina Zhelyazkova,Antonija Petričušic,Viorel Cibotaru,Elton Skendaj,Toni Petkovic,Zhidas Daskalovski / Language(s): English

This report examines how cultural beliefs and practices influence gun ownership and use in SEE, and how these might affect SALW control interventions. It was initially researched by the Center for the Study of Democracy (CSD), Bulgaria during Autumn 2005 and Spring 2006. It was compiled and drafted by Mr. Philip Gounev, Research Fellow, Centre for the Study of Democracy and Mr. Marko Hajdinjak, Researcher, International Centre for Minority Studies and Intercultural Relations, Bulgaria. // An anthropological approach was taken to better understand the reasons for civilian gun ownership and use, and the ways in which society represents these behaviours, in Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Moldova, Serbia and Montenegro (including the UN Administered Territory of Kosovo). A wide variety of research tools were used including household surveys (HHS) conducted by SEESAC and UNDP, focus group transcripts, secondary literature searches, statistical data, anthropological field studies, the Internet, print and electronic media.

‘To Speak of Cattle Is to Speak of Man’: Anthroparchal Interactions in John Connell’s the Farmer’s Son

‘To Speak of Cattle Is to Speak of Man’: Anthroparchal Interactions in John Connell’s the Farmer’s Son

Author(s): Paul Mihai Paraschiv / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2021

“To Speak of Cattle is to Speak of Man”: Anthroparchal Interactions in John Connell’s The Farmer’s Son. The present paper intends to build a critique of contemporary farming practices, based on Erika Cudworth’s theory of “anthroparchy.” By exemplifying how anthroparchal interactions function in John Connell’s memoir, I will outline the becoming of a posthuman farmer that awakens certain sensibilities towards nonhuman animals, in ways that compel a rethinking of gendered relations, patriarchy, violence, and capitalist interests. The analysis provides a needed insight into recent developments in Irish rural farming, detailing the position of the human subject in relation to nonhuman otherness and describing some of the changes that need to be made regarding the power relations that are at work within patriarchal systems. To this extent, Cudworth’s theoretical framework and Connell’s memoir are proven to be contributing to the necessary restructuring of farming practices and of human-nonhuman interactions.

Moreover, the three sub-dimensions of servant leadership namely accountability, empowerment and unpretentiousness are positive and statistically significant predictors of LMX. Managerial and practical implications are provided.

“It Helps if You Think of Yourself as a Radio Presenter!” A Lefebvrian Commentary on the Concerns, Conflicts and Opportunities of Online Block Teaching

“It Helps if You Think of Yourself as a Radio Presenter!” A Lefebvrian Commentary on the Concerns, Conflicts and Opportunities of Online Block Teaching

Author(s): Ben Harkin,Chrissi Nerantzi / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has generated shifts in how higher education provision is offered. In one UK institution block teaching was introduced. This way of teaching and learning has brought new challenges and opportunities for staff and students. To date, little research or theoretical discussion has investigated how this hybrid approach or differences between tutors and student can arise in the use of online teaching spaces (OTS) within a block-teaching format. The present paper focuses on the institution-wide implementation of an online block-teaching model at Manchester Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom. With a specific emphasis on observations and reflections on the experiences of undergraduate students’ and staff by one of the authors from the Department of Psychology who employed an online block teaching approach (6 weeks) from the beginning of block 1 during the academic year 2020/21. We provide a novel methodological advancement of Lefebvre’s (1991) Trialectic of Space to discuss how students and tutors jointly produce and experience learning and teaching within an online block teaching approach. Pre-existing behavioural, cognitive and emotional experiences of using online spaces, contribute to the curriculum, student-tutor and student-student dialogue. We also highlight the importance of community within an online block teaching approach. Applications of the Lefebvrian model (1991) to present pedagogical approaches along with avenues of future research are considered.

“It’s in their blood”. The securitization of Roma Westward Migration in Europe

Author(s): Ionuț-Marian Anghel / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

If recent debates have centered around the irregularization and border securitization against non-EU migrants in the EU (Jansen et al., 2015), especially in the context of the “refugee crisis”, less attention is paid to the irregularization of migration of EU citizens, such as Europe’s Roma minorities (van Baar, 2014a; van Baar, 2015). The paper aims to critically interrogate the processes of securitization, irregularization, criminalization and nomadization of recent Roma westward migration in Europe. By discussing the cases of France and Italy’s “securitization packages”, I will show that the “excessive mobility” of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) Roma is not the result of their alleged nomadic lifestyle but rather the outcome of policies of expulsion and “voluntary return schemes” put in place by Western governments. These policies reinforce the status of “third-country nationals” for the CEE Roma (although they are citizens of EU member states) and deepens the socio-political exclusion at a time when the European Commission (EC) and member states have put in place social inclusion policies that should have enhanced their European citizenship.

Author(s): Mehmet Emin Karabayir,Sevgi Cengiz / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 14/2016

The purpose of this study is to analyze accounting error and accounting fraud through investigating the views of independent auditors about their responsibility in preventing error and fraud. Realization of error and fraud in accounting harms all stakeholders (i.e. individuals, society, state and companies). Hence, identifying and avoiding error and fraud requires expertise in the field. Within this context, a survey was applied on the 84 independent auditors active in business in Northeastern Anatolia (Ağrı, Ardahan, Erzurum, Iğdır and Kars), and results were analyzed and commented accordingly. In addition, factor analysis and variance analysis were applied in order to reveal the relationship between variables and factors, if any.

“Non-strategic” Eastern Europe and the Fate of the Humanities

Author(s): Clare Cavanagh / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2015

Until recent events intervened, Eastern European Studies found themselves under attack at my home university and other institutions for being, among other things, “non-strategic.” We see the same notion, if not the same terminology, applied increasingly to the humanities and non-quantitative social sciences, which lose ground daily to the so-called STEM disciplines in both educational policy and practice. How do we defend the study of Eastern European literature and culture in the current academic climate? This essay defends the centrality both of literary and Eastern European studies in the twenty-first-century curriculum.

“To America!” Polish Sociologists in the United States after 1956 and the Development of Empirical Sociology in Poland

Author(s): Antoni Sułek / Language(s): English Issue: 03/2010

America was an attractive destination for European scholars and social scientists—their contacts, observations, experiences, and thoughts often became a subject of interest in itself to many other sociologists. Poles are no exception. Florian Znaniecki and William I. Thomas and their classic Polish Peasant in Europe and America, first published in 1918–20, is symbolic of contacts and influences between Polish and American sociology in the first half of the twentieth century. However, sociologists other than Znaniecki and their transatlantic journeys remain somehow in the shadows to this day. This article presents a more recent and yet less known chapter of Polish–American relations—Polish sociologists visiting American universities in the 1950s and 1960s.

“To Cure, Uplift and Ennoble the Village”: Militant Sociology in the Romanian Countryside, 1934–1938

Author(s): Raluca Muşat / Language(s): English Issue: 03/2013

Focusing on the project of cultural work (muncă culturală), involving hundreds of university students from different disciplines going to the countryside to study rural life and to aid its modernisation, this article examines the prominent role sociology played in King Carol II’s Romania as a scientific tool for planning rural reform and as a practical project of mass social organisation. Designed and launched by the sociologist Dimitrie Gusti in 1934, cultural work competed with the fascist Legion of the Archangel Michael’s work camps, providing an “official” project of rural modernisation, meant to bridge the gap between the educated youth and the peasantry and increase support for the King. Largely ignored by scholars of this period, this project offers a new perspective on the country’s social, political, and intellectual history, one that concentrates on the “rise of the social” in Romania, to which the transformation of the peasantry was central.

„Химерните групи“ в училище и практики на наследяването: „загубата на бащата“

Author(s): Nikolay Tsankov,Veska Gyuviyska / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2017

The study explores the problem of chimera groups emulating criminal groups as a new sociopedagogical reality. Regardless of the diversity of scientific suggestions on signifying these criminal groups, we use chimera group as a main concept. The reason for that is the evaluative neutrality of the concept, which is associated with deviant behavior of children and adolescents at school and with the impossibility for this group to be detected. The concept deviance is interpreted in the context of the ideas of French sociological studies as presented by Pierre Bordieu and, more specifically, through the mechanisms of “sociogenesis”, which is conceived as a duality of the biographical and the social in the life of adolescents and the formation of their identity. The “sociogenesis” of inheritance uncovers the birth of the father as a mechanism of production and reproduction of violence in the chimera group. The analysis of chimera groups at schools is strongly dependent on teachers’ social sensitivity and the expansion of pedagogical discourse.

Less than one-sixth of citizens believe the government is independent and takes the key decisions for infrastructure projects in the energy sector in the interest of society. More than half of the population indicates that government decisions are dominated by foreign governments, and the interests of local oligarchs and economic groups and international companies are being put forward. These opinions are not influenced by education, age, employment or size of the settlement.

The Anti-Corruption Action Plan has been developed within the framework of the Coalition 2000 process with the purpose of becoming part of the social agenda as a broadly approved system of measures and actions for curbing the extremely dangerous social phenomenon of corruption. The Anti-Corruption Action Plan gained credit as a document, which was often referred to in Bulgaria and used in other countries as a model for mapping out national anti-corruption priorities. In the words of George Soros, the Bulgarian anti-corruption plan is the most comprehensive and ambitious document of its kind.

Човешката несигурност

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

Prof. Georgy Fotev is a Bulgarian sociologist. His scientific works are in the areas of theory and history of sociology and the disciplinary fields of modern sociology. The focus of the research interests of G.Fotev is the nature of sociology as a multiple paradigm science. Another major theme in the works of Georgy Fotev is the dialogue as a base and horizon of multiple paradigm sociology. Georgy Fotev has publications in the fields of historical sociology, sociology of politics, ethnosociology, the crisis of legitimacy, sociology of values, etc. His books "The long night of communism in Bulgaria" and "Bulgarian melancholy" throw light on the dramatic fate of the Bulgarian national society. Georgy Fotev was Minister of Education and Science (1991 - 1992). He is professor emeritus of New Bulgarian University. In 2003 he was awarded the Distinguished Service Award from the American University in Bulgaria. Mankind is shaken by a multitude of uncertainty. There is an increasing perception that uncertainty becomes permanent. The focus is on the existential, social, political, economic, global and other basic varieties of human uncertainty. The author explores the fundamental conditions of human uncertainty and the main forms of her manifestation and experience. The phenomenon is seen in the light of the new science of chaos and complexity in the context of the risky society/world, in terms of catastrophic consciousness and the conditions of crisis types. Particular attention is paid to trust as a fundamental social attitude and condition against decadent attitudes and nihilism.

Човешки ресурси и социална политика в контекста на присъединяването на България към Европейския съюз, август 1995 г.

Author(s): Author Not Specified / Language(s): Bulgarian

Bulgaria's orientation towards the EU dates back to the early days of radical political changes in the country, which began at the end of 1989. Membership in the EU attracted mostly the high social standards in the member states, the transition to a single internal market allowing for free movement of goods, capital and people. The integration of the country into the European Communities was perceived as a means of rapidly resolving the internal economic and social problems we faced after the collapse of the totalitarian regime. The rapprochement and future membership of the EU was wished to be strong and in order to remove the trade barriers of the Union which we felt much more strongly after the disintegration of the former CMEA market.

Ще приберем ли „на тъмно“ цените на “светлото”? Медийна записка

Author(s): Author Not Specified / Language(s): Bulgarian

The decision to decrease by 5% the retail electricity prices as of 1 August 2013 is among the topics at the heart of political debates in Bulgaria this autumn. A similar move in 2010 clearly showed that such a politically mandated price decrease was not sustainable in the long run. It ended in the sharp increase (13% y-o-y) of electricity prices in 2012, and subsequent social unrest, which brought down the Bulgarian government in February 2013. The focus on the final consumer bill reduction in the public debate overshadows some of the other structural effects of the decision, which are worth mentioning.
