НАРРАТИВЫ «ЗЕЛЕНЫХ» ПОТРЕБИТЕЛЕЙ: АНТИГЕРОЙ, ЭКОГЕРОЙ И АНАРХИСТ

Author(s): M. Autio,E. Heiskanen,Veikko Heinonen / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2014

Environmental policy makers and marketers are attracted by the notion of green consumerism. Yet, green consumerism is a contested concept, allowing for a wide range of translations in everyday discursive practices. This paper examines how young consumers construct their images of green consumerism. It makes a close reading of three narratives reflecting available subject positions for young green consumers: the Antihero, the Environmental Hero and the Anarchist. It reveals problems in the prevailing fragmented, gendered and individualistic notions of green consumerism, and discusses implications for policy and marketing practitioners.

EKOLOJİK SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR KENTSEL YÖNETİM BAĞLAMINDA TÜRKİYEDE YEREL YÖNETİMLERİN YASAL OLANAKLARI VE 2014 SONRASINDAKİ DEĞİŞİMİ

Author(s): Duygu Akyol,Abdullah Çiğdem / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 32/2016

Much of the needs of people in their daily lives fall within the scope of the service area of local governments. For this reason, it is included in the responsibility of the local governments to bring human life environment and conditions to a decent level, to protect and to raise the quality of life of the individual. The effectiveness of environmental management's preventive, restorative and development policies also depends on local governments taking direct responsibility for environmental management. Within the scope of this study, it will be discussed how the legislative possibilities of the ecological city administration are applied and how these legal possibilities change with the change after 2014 and how this change affected the cities where the local administrations are tasked.

МЕЖДУНАРОДНО-ПРАВОВОЕ РЕГУЛИРОВАНИЕ И КОНТРОЛЬ В СФЕРЕ ВНЕДРЕНИЯ ЧУЖЕРОДНЫХ ВОДНЫХ ОРГАНИЗМОВ И ПАТОГЕНОВ В РЕЗУЛЬТАТЕ СБРОСА СУДОВОЙ БАЛЛАСТНОЙ ВОДЫ

Author(s): Ksenia Borisovna Valiullina / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2016

The value of the World Ocean is so important that it is extremely difficult to appreciate it. Scientists have proved that the life can exist only on planets where a large part of the surface is occupied by water. For many years, protection and preservation of the World Ocean during the operation of transport vehicles has been limited only to purification of the waters polluted by oil. However, the scientific research carried out in many countries of the world has managed to prove that biological pollution can cause much more destructive consequences because of its irreversible character. Discharge of ballast water by ships is considered as a type of such pollution. More than 7000 invasive alien species of microorganisms, which successfully survive and adapt to new living conditions, are transferred every day with ballast water from one region to another. Every vessel transporting and discharging ballast water can be considered as a source of potential danger. Therefore, governments around the world actively discuss this problem. Despite internationally coordinated actions do not cover all areas, there are examples indicating that constructive solutions to the problem can be achieved. Reasons for the protracted signing of the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments (BWМ Convention, 2004), as well as a number of measures to be taken in the shortest possible time, are considered.

Društvo 21. stoljeća – ključna obilježja i problemi

Author(s): Abdel Alibegović,Midhat Čaušević / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 1/2016

The authors in the paper reflect sociological reality and substantiality on the level of meta-theoretical view of the substantiality itself and essential incline of sociology. If we put all phenomena that are encompassed by wider sociological interest, as Husserl says, between brackets, we still have question of crisis and reflection of (some) crisis imposed as a fundamental characteristic in every serious sociological approach. A question arises – whether a modern man, or a man in general, “likes“ to think, as Heidegger would say? Can the conceptual creator or the culprit of the western rationality be praised for thinking, for having learned to think? Of course, there is an immense difference between be able to think causes and being able/have to think consequences, results of your own actions. There is also an additional situation of not being able to think at all about self, the world, consequences of our actions, etc. Is the man’s faith ontological and ecological awareness, living and acting in accordance to “life sanctity“, or his destiny is a state of “dehumanization“, barbarism and false “-isms“of conscience and awareness? Following modern sociological approaches and authors, the authors tried to reflect, overview and solve the key substantiality of the epoch we live in/out, whatever this “live“means if we view it through prism of Bauman’s and Beck’s epoch of risk, liquidity of life, modernity and fear, through Konrad Paul’s meaningful scanning of catchword “society of knowledge“, to George Myerson’s revealing of range and delusions of ecologism.

Nutrition and Food in the Green city

Author(s): Rafaele Matacena,Paolo Corvo / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

Food is a significant dimension of life quality and of any proposal for a green city. With the green city movement, farmer markets are spreading increasingly. These are markets where farmers bring their products into the city to sell, thereby growers and producers turn into retailers. Recently the success of the Earth Markets displays citizens’ desire for quality and genuine food such as fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese. The dissemination and development of farmer market are chiefly due to the awareness that it is necessary to establish a relationship between producers and consumers, in order to have healthy and genuine products, energy saving and a lower environmental impact. The city has always had spaces for agricultural production; today these spaces are limited to the peri-urban area and they are often under the threat of overbuilding and urbanisation. In recent years this risk seems to be reduced both because of the presence of a greater awareness among the citizens about the importance of urban gardens, and due to the economic crisis, these forms of production have been appreciated. There is evidence that both at individual and community level, a growing interest in these spaces where food can be produced. These urban gardens are also sometimes created in degraded areas, hence playing a role in the redevelopment.

ZALESIANIE GRUNTÓW ROLNYCH I NIEUŻYTKÓW W GMINIE SZADEK W LATACH 1995–2015

ZALESIANIE GRUNTÓW ROLNYCH I NIEUŻYTKÓW W GMINIE SZADEK W LATACH 1995–2015

Author(s): Beata Woziwoda,Sylwester Lisek,Katarzyna Ambrożkiewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 16/2016

The increase in forest cover and the reduction in agricultural land area has become a common feature of the contemporary landscape in Poland. This article presents an overview of the trends of farmland afforestation in the Commune of Szadek in the last two decades. The economic factors that shaped the process of farmland to woodland transformation are presented. The results show that the forest land area has increased in the last 20 years. In general, around 300 ha of arable land and wasteland were afforested in the years 1995–2015, of which 172 ha belonged to owners from the private sector. However, in the last decade there were only 27 ha of private lands converted to woodlands. Since Poland’s accession to the EU in 2004, the afforestation of arable lands has been financially supported by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) within the Rural Development Programme (RDP) in accordance with the principles of the European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The financial support of afforestation programme in the Commune of Szadek amounts over 800 thousands zloty per 23,75 ha of woodlands (data of Agency for Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture). The scale and rate of farmland afforestation depended on the available financial measures and sufficiently clear rules for afforestation programmes within RDP. However, the negative economic experiences arising from the instability of the contemporary Polish and European economies and rules, curbs the process of economically (afforestation of land unsuitable for agricultural use) and/or ecologically (forest restoration within a deforested landscape) justified afforestation of poor agricultural lands and wastelands.

Kyoto protokolü ve kopenhag mutabakatinin karşilaştirmali analizi

Author(s): Özge Uysal Şahin / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 1/2016

Global warming and the natural disasters such as flood, drought and hurricane which appear in reaction to global warming have gradually increased. This situation threatens both natural life and human life. In this regard, taking certain measures on global level have to become compulsory. So, Kyoto Protocol and Copenhagen Accord are results of these initiatives. In this study, Kyoto Protocol and Copenhagen Accord are examined and analyzed comparatively.

Praktyki kontrfaktualne w narracjach naukowych i fikcjonalnych

Author(s): Małgorzata Sugiera / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

This article deals with counter-factual practices in history and the historical novel (whose production has increased in the last few years, and which presents alternative versions of the past), as well as in areas where the humanities and the natural or exact sciences intersect with works of literary fiction that incorporate elements of science fiction. Based on a selection of mockumentary works by respected academics from various disciplines, Sugiera demonstrates the essential function that these practices have in undermining the objectivity of academic discourses and in highlighting the fact that knowledge is situated.

Samoubistva u Srbiji: najzastupljeniji načini izvršenja

Samoubistva u Srbiji: najzastupljeniji načini izvršenja

Author(s): Goran D. Penev,Biljana B. Stanković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 14/2017

The method of suicide is an important determinant of the outcome of suicidal behavior, and the reduction of the availability of the most frequently used methods has significant preventive potential. This paper analyzes the dynamics of the total number of suicides in Serbia according to method used in the period of 1990-2014, with an emphasis on structural differences by sex and age. The relative participation of certain age groups in the most commonly used suicide methods is indicated based on the calculated values of the relative risk referred to as the age ratio of method of suicide (ARMS). The analysis is based on the data of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia, mostly unpublished. The results of the analysis show that in Serbia, in the period of 1990-2014, hanging was the most commonly used suicide method (61%). The next in number, but with a significantly smaller share, were suicides by a firearm (13%) and poisoning (8%).The biggest changes were registered with regard to the increase in firearm suicides, which was clearly connected to the beginning of the wars in former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, but continued during the 2000s. Among men, the three above-mentioned methods were higher (85%), while the most prevalent methods among women were hanging (59%), poisoning (16%) and drowning (8%). Observed by age, the elderly (60+) are the most numerous, regardless of suicide method. The existing differences all relate to the share of certain age groups in the number of suicides by a particular method. There was a significant difference in the relative participation of large age groups in certain methods of suicide. The changes in this respect have been in the direction of reducing existing differences. The presented results may be useful to researchers and professionals of various profiles dealing with the phenomenon of suicide, as well as policy makers in the planning of measures and actions for suicide prevention.

Рађање ван брака: неки просторни аспекти

Author(s): Biljana B. Stanković,Goran D. Penev / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 9/2012

There is a tendency of increase in non-marital childbearing in all European countries during the past several decades. The intensity of the increase, as well as initial level of extra-marital fertility was different, so in actual moment, similar to previous decades, there are great differences among countries. The share of extramarital births is ranking from 7.3% in Greece to 64.3% in Iceland. Serbia (excluding Kosovo) with a share 24.0% is ranked among countries with a lower percentage of extramarital births. Except for the differences on the national level, there are also differences on the level of European regions and smaller territorial units. In Serbia there are two clearly distinguished zones, too - a high share extramarital births zone in the eastern Serbia and low or moderate extramarital births zone in western part of the Central Serbia. Differences on municipality level are considerable also, and in 2011 the highest recorded share (65.9% in Kostolac) was thirteen times higher than the lowest share (5.2% in Ivanjica). Spatial specifities of non-marital fertility by certain characteristics may indicate possible implications for family policy.

THE OTAVALEÑOS OF ECUADOR

Author(s): Jerome WINDMEYER / Language(s): English Issue: 3-4/1999

Since their appearance at the end of the 1980s the Indian music groups have become a familiar sight in the streets of many European cities. Dressed in a poncho, white trousers, sandals, a hat and their long hair in a pony-tail these mainly young boys attract the attention of the shopping public. In Holland the music they play forms a welcome alternative to the street organ that traditionally occupies the shopping streets. Next to playing music these Indian youngsters also sell textile products from the Andes and music cassettes and cd’s. These music groups come mostly from Ecuador, to be more precise from a certain region of Ecuador of which the centre is formed by the little town of Otavalo. The Indians1 – or indígenas – of this region are generally known as the Otavaleños.

My City, My ‘Hood, My Street: Ghetto Spaces in American Hip-Hop Music

My City, My ‘Hood, My Street: Ghetto Spaces in American Hip-Hop Music

Author(s): Lidia Kniaź / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

As a subculture created by black and Latino men and women in the late 1970s in the United States, hip-hop from the very beginning was closely related to urban environment. Undoubtedly, space has various functions in hip-hop music, among which its potential to express the group identity seems to be of the utmost importance. The goal of this paper is to examine selected rap lyrics which are rooted in the urban landscape: “N.Y. State of Mind” by Nas, “H.O.O.D” by Masta Ace, and “Street Struck,” in order to elaborate on the significance of space in hip-hop music. Interestingly, spaces such as the city as a whole, a neighborhood, and a particular street or even block which are referred to in the rap lyrics mentioned above express one and the same broader category of urban environment, thus, words connected to urban spaces are often employed interchangeably.

Perception of persons with ataxia

Perception of persons with ataxia

Author(s): Luba Jakubowska,Magdalena Kazimierska-Zając,Joanna Rosińczuk / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

Aim. The aim of the paper is to present the reasons of the forming of erroneous, unfavourable perception of persons with spinocerebellar ataxia. Concept. Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) are a group of degenerative disorders leading to damage of the cerebellum and its connections (Klockgether, & Paulson, 2011). The following are distinguished among the neurological speech difficulties present in persons with SCA: dysphagia (difficulties with swallowing leading to problems witheating), speech disorders, and mental disorders. Each of these groups of disorders maylead to the stigmatisation of persons with SCA. Such persons might be seen as sloppyand helpless, and the specifie city of speech impairments and uncoordinated movements as well as their irregular gait may cause these persons to be perceived as inebriated. Such presumptions lead to difficulties in social functioning and may be the cause of discrimination, including the denial of help. Conclusion: What is helpful in combating prejudice is, first and foremost, the dissemination of knowledge about the condition, including launching social campaigns presenting the labelled symptoms of SCA. What is more, work with the patient ought to be focused on the development of coping strategies in the social environment rather than exclusively alleviating physical difficulties.

Pisarz, celebryta, influencer? Szczepana Twardocha droga do sławy

Author(s): Anna Michalik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01/2019

This paper is an attempt to trace how Szczepan Twardoch, one of the most popular contemporary Polish writers, has become a celebrity. The author will discuss the beginnings of his literary path, as well as how consciously he builds his own brand composed of popular books, a recognizable image and speaking on important social and political topics. The author's actions will be analyzed in context of how he professionalizes his image and to build s popularity, which results in calling the writer a celebrity. In addition, the hypothesis of this text is the statement, that Szczepan Twardoch's attitude is not limited solely to the role of a celebrity-writer. It is much wider, and owing to his conscious activities in the field of building and managing his own image, this creator deserves to be called an ‘influencer’– who introduces changes in the writer's ethos, followed by the entire industry.

Drzwi otwarte i życiowa szansa: kreowanie gastrocelebrytów w programie MasterChief Polska

Author(s): Agata Bachórz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01/2019

The paper focuses on celebrity chefs in Poland as a relatively new phenomenon. In the first part of the paper a synthetic review of the discussion about celebrity chefs in global foodscapes is given. In the second part an analysis of Polish version of cookery show MasterChef is presented. The program is interpreted as a carrier for the meanings about the formation of a new gastronomic field in Poland with celebrities of different scale as key actors. The show’s imitative character as well as its detachment from rather conservative eating habits of the majority of Poles is underlined. Polish MasterChef presents culinary capital as seemingly accessible to everyone, recruits smaller-scale food celebrities and stimulates a development of a new food culture connected to a global gastronomic field. This process is a part of larger lifestyle modernization in Poland: the show positively interprets biographical and cultural change, defines the relationship between passion and work, and promotes the specific idea of life success.

Shimei-ryo i czułość za pieniądze. Czy można to wykorzystać w grach? Potencjał dla gier?

Author(s): Katarzyna Skok / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01/2019

Shimei-ryo is a paid service offering a choice to pick a girl to sleep with (it is about sleeping side by side, not a sexual activity). In the current work the term is referred to a paradox in which (1) non-sexual behavior related to physical intimacy between two or more people is present and (2) means leading to this behavior (paying) exclude authentic intimacy. The present article is an attempt to interpret the phenomenon. In the first part shimei-ryo is analyzed in the context of ludus. Customer motivations and psychological aspects of snuggling are discussed. The second part includes a discussion on the possible application of the phenomenon in the Western culture and the use of mechanisms underlying it in games. It is proposed that - apart from traditional gaming elements – the human ability of multisensory integration and symbolic forms of care (non-verbal behavior or the „carefully” programmed chatterbots) are used.
