Author(s): Alisa Maхimova,Ekaterina Pavlenko,Ivan Pavlyutkin,Greg Yudin / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2015

The concept of the “sociological expedition” implies various forms of collaborative empirical research, for which ethnographic fieldwork serves as the fundamental model. While this form of training students (“education through research”) is still relatively rare in Russia, in recent years its visibility has grown and its organizers have become more experienced. We were interested in finding out how, in each particular case, the idea of organizing such training retreats for students developed. What are the peculiarities and practical difficulties involved in conducting this kind of research and training? Finally, what role in the educational process should such research expeditions play? Participants in the discussion below note the importance of collaborative field research to students’ professional socialization and reflect about their own experiences of such trips, expressing regret that academic institutions still do not sufficiently support the practice.

Author(s): Dominika Czerniawska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 03/2014

In recent years the research on digital skills, media literacy, and social aspects of ICT has grown in significance. The 50+ generation is a group of special interest in this field, as it is especially threatened by the digital divide. The experience gained so far and the results of conducted research suggest possible need for a reconsideration of methodological issues. Research methods have been dominated by surveys and individual in‑depth interviews. Both of these have limits and constraints which may influence the interpretation of results and the conclusions drawn from the research. Some research contexts show that operationalization of digital skills and media literacy appears to be problematic. Conclusions from the analysis indicate a need for adjusting research tools, especially by expanding them through the addition of practical tasks.

Uniwersytet w przecięciu świata i domu. W stronę afirmacji myślenia osobnego

Author(s): Aleksnadra Kunce / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2016

This essay discusses the important question concerning the understanding of university. The author uses anthropological and philosophical approaches to develop the interpretation of the local-worldly university. Why shall we think about university at the intersection of the world and home? The main aim of the article is to describe and interpret problems of autonomy, location, and connection with regions. The author refers to Plato, Aristotle, Herder, Humboldt, Dilthey, Nietzsche, Ortega y Gasset, Heidegger, Merton, Lyotard, Derrida, and Esposito. The explanation of the idea of wonder leads to the consideration of an important role of university as an independent and autonomous place in our common space. Thinking about university as an independent entity is an act of retreating from the conception of university as a centre of innovation, yielding unified and standardized thought, yet deprived of roots. University is not a realm of “the same.” If we take care of “the difference,” in particular, if we think about the Derridean term “différance”, we should affirm “the difference” in the daily practice of our universities. University is obliged to strengthen independent thinking and engaged practice, to encourage dealing with inconvenient themes and producing unprecedented narratives. We thus need to affirm our right to independence. Local orientation of university brings about the common creation of the space, which involves not only pride in one’s identity, but also a sense of the infinite, the impossible, the incomprehensible, and the strange. The local-worldly university leads us to recognition university at the intersection of the world and home.

NIKOLAI RUSCHUKLIEV’S SELF-PORTRAIT – SEMANTIC DYNAMICS

Author(s): Bogdan Aleksandrov / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

Self-portraits dominate the work of the artist Nikolay Ruschukliev. The text analyses the stages which the genre preferences characteristic for this artist go through in the context of the relationship between self-portrait and the concept of life’s meaning and changes in its content. It also traces how the artist manages to commit to his conscious choice permeating his whole existence to create self-portraits and his reasons for having the "meetings" with himself. It is an attempt to answer questions posed by the paradoxical inverse relationship between the size of the synthesised messages to the world in which the artist lives and his ability to give sincere and honest answers to simple questions addressed to and from his self. Addressed are the issues how the ideologically provoked thresholds in life after filtering are transformed into an act of defence of personal truth, and why that very "self-awareness" is the necessary prerequisite for the achievement of this truth. The idea sustained is that the self-portraits of Nicholay Ruschukliev may be the key to understanding its transformation into genuineness about the world ... whereas the viewer who has touched this world "sinks" in the reflection of their own emotions, feelings, desires and fears.

Become trainer in the interreligious dialogue and mutual acceptance for theological teachers.

Author(s): Tudor Cosmin Ciocan / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

My intention is to improve the receiving of the idea of ‘interfaith dialogue and mutual acceptance’ for Romanian people in general and foremost on their teachers, by writing a handbook for teaching it to the students and future public opinion formatters. It is a requirement nowadays firstly to make people understand the benefits of interfaith, then to make them believe it is the only solution of the social common living in such a religiously diverse society, and finally provide methodological and technical support for those who want to become the voices of interfaith in their own environment. I need to lift my training to that level that I can improve myself, maturing from a religious pluralism embracer to a trainer, professionally prepared and systematic instructed. For that matter, this paper is not an unassisted research presentation, but a proposal from which I would like to evolve to a fully developed result that I will share with our Dialogo readers when published (e.g., ask for a review on a possible, future book on the topic).

Contemporary world is continuously changing in a stunning rhythm. This could be (and sometimes is) overwhelming considering human relationship. So, in a world of technology, where people are talking, researching, writing about, organizing conferences and trainings on communication, people seems to forget fundamental elements of healthy human relationships like, for example, attention towards others, others’ feelings, nonverbal language, the need for forgiveness and apologizes. Some people tend to function following the model of: “I am always right.”, “Purpose justify the action.”, “We are a competitive society, so that only the wick persons have feelings.” etc.In this context, we have initiated a study focused on the way that young people are apologizing and expect for apologizes from others so that these led to the wanted effect: forgiveness. Young people involved in our study, 43 students, aged between 20 and 34 years old, during focus-group meetings have identified the negative effects of non-apologizing and maintain the conflict in human relationship, as well as signs of sincerely of sorrows (form words and body language to sincere commitment and behavior change).
