Bošnjaci u Njemačkoj danas

Author(s): Ishak Alešević / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 61/2015

Around 53 million Muslims live in Europe, of which nearly 4,3 million in “Immigrant Germany”. They are from 50 countrys from the European, Asian and African continent and based on their Islamic teaching they are divided into seven different sections, of which the Sunni make three quarters. It is estimated that between 160 and 180 thousand Bosniaks live in Germany today, mostly organised into smaller jama‘at communities. They are adaptable, open and well integrated into German society. This text discusses the challenges for Muslims from Germany, which have been caused by contemporary movements on the world stage of politics and by new socio-political circumstances in Germany – and the reflections of these challenges on the work of Bosnian and Herzegovinian jama‘ats.

Migrant Remittances, Livelihoods and Investment: Evidence from Tsholotsho District in the Matabeleland North Province of Zimbabwe

Author(s): Divane Nzima,Vusumzi Duma,Philani Moyo / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

This paper traces the developmental contribution of migrant remittances sent from South Africa to the Tsholotsho district of Matabeleland North province of Zimbabwe. Since the discovery of gold in South Africa, Zimbabweans from this region have been migrating to South Africa to seek employment. In recent times, the culture of migration in Tsholotsho continues to strengthen, as women have also joined this previously male dominated livelihood strategy. Debates on migration and development have often centered on the role of remittances as a key instrument for development in migrant sending countries. Governments and multilateral institutions have also taken up remittances as a policy priority with a keen interest. This study was conducted using a mixed methods approach. A total of 159 participants completed self-administered quantitative questionnaires. In addition, 5 in-depth qualitative interviews with key informants were conducted in Tsholotsho, while 10 in-depth interviews with migrants were conducted in Johannesburg, South Africa. The results of this study show that the majority of migrant remittances are largely used for unproductive consumption. However, there also exists a measure of investment owing to the need to satisfy the surging consumer demands within the local economy. In this paper, results have shown that migrant remittances are a key livelihood factor without which many poor people would be severely vulnerable to poverty and hunger.

Attitudes towards Immigrant Workers and Asylum Seekers in Eastern Croatia: Dimensions, Determinants and Differences

Author(s): Margareta Gregurović,Simona Kuti,Drago Župarić-Iljić / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

Croatia’s accession to the EU has brought new challenges and issues in researching and analysing migration flows and trends as well as attitudes and perceptions of real and potential newcomers. The aim of this paper is to explore attitudes of the residents of the two most easterly Croatian counties towards two distinct categories of newcomers: immigrant workers and asylum seekers. The research was conducted shortly after Croatia’s entry into the EU, in September 2013, and the presented data are a part of a larger survey that included various migration and ethnicity issues. The survey was applied on a convenience sample of 1 110 adult respondents in two counties: Osijek-Baranja and Vukovar-Srijem. Data were analysed in a series of multivariate procedures. Results indicated significant perceptions of immigrant workers within the dimension of cultural threat, along with the expression of a considerable degree of social distance towards them. Asylum seekers were further perceived as a security and economic threat. Within two analysed regression models, the effects on attitudes towards immigrant workers and asylum seekers were similar. Among the spectrum of socio-demographic variables, a statistically significant effect on both dependent variables came from age and political orientation, indicating that older and politically right-oriented respondents expressed more negative attitudes towards both groups. Among other socio-demographic variables, education was significant in predicting attitudes towards immigrant workers, while ethnicity was significant in predicting the attitudes towards asylum seekers. The second model analysed the effect of selected political attitudes and value orientations resulting in significant prediction of negative attitudes towards both groups by pronounced conservativism, support of aggression and submission, social-dominance, dominant submissive authoritarianism and social alienation, rejecting socially oriented values and expressing greater interest in politics. Differences in prediction of dependent variables indicated that more liberal and better educated respondents had more positive attitudes towards immigrant workers, while Serbs (in comparison to Croats) and respondents rejecting anti-EU orientations had a more positive perception of asylum seekers. The results were compared to other relevant research, including the discussion of observed differences and similarities, and recommendations for further research.

Children studies jako perspektywa metodologiczna. Współczesne tendencje w badaniach nad dzieckiem

Author(s): Karolina Szymborska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2016

The article presents a reconnaissance of the humanistic origins of postmodern interdisciplinary field called children studies. Szymborska identifies two opposing approaches within the mainstream of children’s research, namely the paedocentric and paedomorphic. The first is associated with the studies of Gertrud Lenzer, Sarane Boockock, William Corsaro, who have spurred on the recent transformation of child activism into children’s activist narratives in the field. Szymborska sees this phenomenon as an attempt to build a ‘child-story,’ i.e. a counter-history from child’s perspective. The second direction is rooted in Tyson Lewis and Richard Kahn’s posthumanist notions, influenced by Rosi Braidotti’s posthumanist theory. This movement proposes a non-anthropocentric, zoomorphic approach to childhood in the context of what is known as exopedagogy. These researchers’ paedomorphic annihilation of conceptual dualisms and of the hierarchy of species represents, for Szymborska, an adultocentric reduction of the child’s subjectivity to its hypostases, which are expressed in discourse through the symbiotic hybrid of the humanimal.

Гендерный аспект программ консервативных и центристских политических партий современной России

Author(s): A. Bukin / Language(s): Russian Issue: 3/2016

This article focuses on the gender dimension of conservative and centrist political parties in modern Russia. The author conducted an analysis of 29 parties programs in order to find out the importance of gender in them. The study showed that 76 % of the surveyed parties mention in their programs such words as “women”, “motherhood”, “family”. Only two right-wing parties in their programs speak about women's work. “The party of the spiritual transformation of Russia” considers that the work of women in the family should be counted as employment history. Another party “The national policy” makes a reservation,that this measure should be applied to women bringing up three children. Such parties as “The women’s dialogue” and “For the women of Russia” declare that women are bearers of a special’s mission to harmonize the social and political order in Russia. In general, right-wing and centrist political parties give gender issues little concern outside the reproductive discourse.Some parties say that the government must organize favorable conditions for increasing the birth rate, other parties talk about the need for stringent prohibitions(against abortions) and public propaganda of traditional values.The cited data show that none of these parties sees our society capable of self-regulation and problem solving (including demographic ones) through the institutions of civil society.

ДЕМОГРАФИЧЕСКИЕ ПАРАМЕТРЫ РОССИЙСКОЙ СЕМЬИ В 1950-х гг.

Author(s): Valentina B. Zhiromskaya,Natalya A. Aralovets,Natalya V. Chernysheva / Language(s): Russian Issue: 4/2024

Based on legislative materials and statistical data, the article shows that in the 1950s in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic and its regions, married men and women predominantly lived with their families. The number of family members living separately from families, but connected with them by a common budget, and especially single people, was small. However, the number of single people increased, especially among women. Nuclear families constituted the majority during this period. Men in these families were most often the heads of families. Families on average consisted of 3—4 members, usually parents and children. The type and size of Russian families changed under the influence of fluctuations in mortality and divorce rates of the population. Declining birth rates reduced the number of children in Russian families, which also affected their size. The birth rate began to decline, especially in cities. The social and demographic measures taken were aimed at stimulating the birth rate, protecting the health of women and children, and improving the health of the population as a whole.
