Since 19th century, during the nation-state establishment periods and through 20th century, political roles were attributed to the youth, which were the result and the representation of the modernity. These roles have differed in different periods of the nations depending on the socio-economic and cultural changes, while the concept of youth is affected by such changes. There is a common discourse in Turkey which supports that after the military coup on September 12 and neoliberal policies applied by Turgut Özal’s government in Turkey, the youth became apolitical and a generation that stayed out of the politics was created. Did the September 12 regime really meant to have youth stay out of the politics? In this article, the effort of September 12 restorations towards rebuilding the youth will be analyzed through a collective work titled “Ataturk and Youth” published by National Education, Youth and Sports Ministry Youth Services General Administration.

While listing the characteristics of the Republic by the constitution enactors in 1982 Constitution of Turkish Republic, it was stated that Turkish Republic is a “social state of law”. Within this context, it is expected that Turkish Republic, as required by being a social state, aim both to expand social welfare and try to realize social justice. The “social” characteristic of the state contains important quantitative means to examine this qualification of hers by looking at education, health, and social security expenditures. While education, health and social security (such as social insurance expenditure and housing, unemployment, disability, impairment, and illness aids) expenditures are considered crucial for the present and future of the society, these expenditure items are also taken as the basic requirements of being a social state according to the functional classification principle. In this study, first of all, the elements of the social state, the historical development of understanding of social state and structural resources of social state are empahized. Then, the constitutional foundations for understanding the social state in Turkey is explained. To examine the phenomenon of social state in Turkey, general tendency of the education, health, and social security expenditures of the state between the years 2001-2009 are analyzed. Moreover, status of Turkey is also mentioned among the member countries of OECD and European Union by comparing those with Turkey in regards to these three expenditure items. If the general tendency of aforementioned expenditure items between years 2001-2009 is examined, it is confirmed that there is no noteworthy increase during the period taken though it is seen that there is a significant increase on each item but those remain as little differences if their share within GDP is analyzed annually.

The review of: “Creative Society/Monograph” by Tomas Kačerauskas; Vilnius: Technika, 2014, 408 p. ISBN 978-609-457-762-8 The paper reviews Tomas Kačerauskas’ monograph „Creative society“ (2014). According to the author, the monograph integrates the problems of creative society in the highest level of scientific reflection. Since the creative society is a problem for a postmodern future, the monograph is unique and valuable in degree of world science. According to the author, the monograph reaches its objective of forming a field of studies whose focus is a creative society. The author pays attention to passages on creativity in the perspective of existential philosophy, ethics, phenomenology, and hermeneutics. One of the fundamental concepts of the monograph is the “creatial.” It plays the role of the most daily and banal phenomenon of creativity. According to the reviewer, this invention (construction of “creatial”) of T. Kačerauskas is perhaps the most original theoretic and methodological achievement, the keystone for conceptual composition of the book.

Knjaževac and its surroundings represent a local region that shares the destiny of the ‘global south’. The inhabitants perceive the region as neglected and forgotten by the state and political structures from the Belgrade ‘center’, claiming that Knjaževac is one of the poorest and most underdeveloped regions in Serbia. Nevertheless, in the last couple of years some fresh business and social development projects have been initiated, which has opened up prospects for imagining a new future for the local community. The aim of the paper will be to present the current state of affairs in the domain of economic development in the region and to point to the cultural dimension of that process. Following Appadurai, I argue that economic development cannot be accomplished without the capacity to imagine the future, and this capacity, in turn, gets stronger as development plans gain their real effects. I will try to show how new business actors use common traditional cultural forms, such as belief in the skills and the power of fortunetellers, in imagining and legitimating a sense of self. I will also point to the other ways of evocation and "capturing" of the orientation toward future, as "project-oriented" thinking and acting of the local NGO, and "visionary" capacity related to civic activism.

This article aims at discussing the transformations resulting from smartphones becoming a key tool to tell about experience. Most frequently mobile technology remains the only available technical tool in today’s travel. Nowadays mobile phones, as the research suggests, are more likely to be worn as garments than carried as tools. In this way, mobile technology stands out in the history of technology, Mobile phones have an unusually intimate relationship with the holder. The article is concerned with the consequences of this relationship: the change in the concept of a digital image, increased confidence in its verisimilitude, an illusion of a specific location paradoxically highlighted by mobile technology and the change in authentic relationship with the reality. Moreover, it turns out, that using a mobile device as the main narrative tool reveals practices of narcissistic self-exploration.

This article discusses the appearance of religion in computer games. While this topic still is a rapidly growing field, the achievement of the computer games has already earned a closer look. The analysis starts with the question of whether there is any place in computer games for religion at all. Also, if there are any aspects of religion in the games, how do these aspects manifest themselves? To answer these questions, many theoretical approaches to game studies (narratology, ludology and processive rhetorics) and actual game examples will be used.

This article explores the phenomenon of Islamic law under the challenge of modernity. The challenge of modernity poses many problems for the identity of Muslim world and its legal system. The claims that Islamic law has nothing in common with modernity is false. The intent of this article is to show that interaction between Islamic law and modernity can be understood through the Faustian way of development. In Faust, the process of development transforms a wasteland of the world into a social space. Also, the process makes a shift in the wasteland of the developer himself. The more you modernize the world outside, the more you modernize your inside world. This is how Faustian tragedy of development works. The goal that animates the present article is to analyze several ways of developing Islamic law both in Muslim states and in the Western world as well. We have the double challenge of modernity. On the one hand,the article discusses at least four responses to the challenge of modernity to Islamic law in Muslim states. On the other hand, we have Muslim communities in modern Western states and their wish to live according to the norms of Islamic law where the modernization of it is indispensable.

Although they have kindred content and etymology, the discourses of cultural industry and of creative industries are different . This article deals with this difference. According to the critics, cultural industry appeals to economic relations or entrepreneurship and so presupposes commodity relations in culture, i. e. mass distribution and mass consuming served by new (information) technologies and the media. Hence, cultural industry loses touch with the customers and dictates its rules for society. After these different elements of human culture interflow a cultural product becomes a commodity that eliminates very culture. Culture inevitably becomes a part of mass communication: art, ideology and the media interflow into certain cultural products. Creative industries are the result of different cultural sorts, including art, the media, business and technologies. Creative industries (advertising, design, fashion, cinema, publishing, computer games etc.) function as catalyst of social changes. Certain creative industries (architecture, scientific research) rise or even explore because of the development of the media and technologies. This dynamic witnesses the changes of post-industrial society. Creative industries mark cardinal changes in whole system of the media, i. e. new order of the media.

This article discusses the features of the modern era that significantly influenced the formation of an individual identity. It analyzes how the human being as an individual lost its value because of the progress of science and prevalent domination of the instrumental mind. Moreover, it discusses how the state policy, which has a decisive voice, becomes the determinant in a person’s life. It is stated that nothing changed after the era had been called postmodern: the same problems remained, becoming even more covered. This article is based on the ideas of such philosophers and critics of the modern era as Ch. Taylor and A. MacIntyre about the influence of the politics to the individuals who lost the control of their destiny. As well the article considers the critics of A. Giddens who underestimated the instrumental mind which appeared because of technical advancement

Population geography is a subdiscipline of Human geography and studies the distribution, concentration and density of population over the terestrial surface, as well as diferences in population size, changes and characteristics, like structures, migrations, activity etc, among some places present compared to others. Population geography has had a perscientific stage as long as human history. First modern scientific treatis of population in geography was the F. Ratzels book Antropogeography in 1882. During the first half of the XX century, French geographer Vidal de la Blanche gave a capital importance of population studies in his work Principes de Geographie Humaine. In interwar years, various aspects of population were studied. After The Second World War started the renovating movement of geography and new tendencies appear in human geography and, consequently in population geography. Attempts were made to define population geography as a separate sub-discipline. The world wide trend of treating population geography as separate discipline was expressed by publishing monographs, bibliographies and textbooks. The most significant authors who worked on defining population geography were French geographers P. George (1951, 1959), Beaujen-Garnier (1965, 1966); North-american geographers: G. Trewarta (1953, 1969), W. Bunge (1962), J. Clance (1965, 1971), W. Zelinski (1966); in Great Britain: J.I. Clarke (1965); in USSR: Ю.Г. Саушкин i Д.Н. Aнучин (1950), В.В. Покшишевский (1966), Д.И. Валентeй (1973); in Poland V. Ormotski (1931), L. Kosinski (1967) A. Jagelski (1980). Those authors and their works had the significant influence on the development of population science in the world and also in Serbia. Although the development of population geography was different in different countries and scientific research centers, we can clearly defined four stages. First stage lasted untill 1960s and was characterised by works of G.Тrewarta, H. Doerres Ю.Г. Саушкин, Д.Н. Aнучин, J. Beaujeu-Gariner. G. Trewarta argued that the population is the point of reference from which all other elements are observed and from which all derive significance and meaning. This view was adopted and shared by authors dealing with population items, explicitly or implicitly. Second stage lasted from 1960s till 1970s and the most significant authors dealing with population problems were W. Zelinsky, W. Bunge; H.Bobek, W. Hartke, K.Ruppert, F.Schaffer; Д.И. Валентeй, K.Korčak. This phase was characterized by the application of quantitative methods and efforts for understanding the spatial structure of the population. Many scientists see this development phase as a particularly prosperous period, because it carried more intensive relations of geography and demography through the introduction of statistical, mathematical and demographic methods and techniques in studies of population geography. Third phase lasted from 1970s to 1980s, and was characterized by close relations between population geography and formal demography. Development and application of GIS and computer data, have made population studies more complex and applicable in practice, through population policy and population projections. The most significant authors in this period were L. Kosinski, A. Jagelski, Hägerstrand. And at last, fourth stage started in 1980s and in many countries lastes untill present days. In population geography appeared new tendencies associated with the critique of positivism, the establishment of humanistic approaches and modifications of general geographic concepts. In this period, spatial analysis and quantitative scientific methods were reaffirmed, and because of that some population studies were redefined in spatial demography, a time dimension advocated in historical demography. In this context, we emphasize the work of D. Plane and P. Rogerson. Population geography is viewed differently from one country to another. Its definition differs from too narrow to overly broad. But two reserch areas were of particular interest to geographers – population distribution and migration. Both items acquired an international dimension. Recently, eminent population geographers excanged various view points in an attempt to provoke new thinking on subject and define the answers of new fields reserch in population geography. Population geography in the XXI Century is no longer a field comprised of spatial applications of fertility, mortality and migration only. Contemporary population geography is theoretically sophisticated, integrating spatial analysis, GIS and geo-referenced data. Future progress in the field of population geography will derive from more research at the intersections of population processes and societal issues and concerns. Major themes of future empirical researchs in population geography should be: global population growth, studies of migration, transnationalism, human security issues, population-health-environment nexus, human-environment sustainability, economic development and poverty issues.

Начињена анализа основних фактора и услова репродуктивног понашања становништва Бугарске показује да одлучујућу улогу имају промене у социо-економској сфери и стању животног стандарда. Стабилизација економске ситуације и побољшање материјалног положаја људи неопходни су услови за постепено враћање на позитиван однос према браку, породици и деци. Смањивање финансијских и материјалних проблема становништва треба да се спроводи заједно са превазилажењем других негативних фактора деловања, а који су повезани са проблемима у здравству, социјалном осигурању, нарушеној еколошкој ситуацији и др. Још је сложеније питање у вези са променама у демографској структури, психолошком расположењу и вредносној оријентацији. Њихово ограничено деловање на репродуктивни процес налаже да се више пажње обраћа на његову квалитативну страну кроз побољшавање услова за рађање, одгајање и васпитање деце.

One of the main characteristics of the settlements in Zaplanje, since the Second World War, has been the negative developing trend of demographic complex. With the decrease of population number together with an intensive process of demographic ageing, there emerged a significant increase in overall number of the old-people households. Since Zaplanje is at the top on the list of Serbian territories with high proportion of old-people households in the total number of households, this article shows the spatial distribution of old-people households with their demographic characteristics.
