Медийната власт като основен проблем на Конституцията на Република България

Author(s): Hristina Dimitrova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 6/2018

The “Fourth power” is associated more with the media, which explain to people what is happening in the respective country. In the modern society this is turning into a problem, because it appears to be a governors tool and in the same time – tool for control over the governors. The only possible solution is to reconsider and describe properly the communication rights in the Bulgarian Constitution. There have to be precisely described the rights for freely expressing personal opinion; for freely browsing, gathering and sharing information; for protecting personal data; for independence of self and for intellectual ownership.

Медијске репрезентације ратап ротив тероризма у британској серији Spooks

Author(s): Dubravka Đurić,Aleksandra Izgarjan / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 3/Spec/2016

The objective of our article was to examine the ways the British series Spooks participates in the contemporary debates on terrorism through presentation of its various aspects as well as problematization of the methods used in the war on terror. Our analysis particularly focuses on the war on terror as a global phenomenon and the most urgent issue at present. The scholars dealing with the phenomenon of terrorism often remark upon its indefinability since it gains new and unexpected forms due to the rapid changes in the political and economic spheres. The narrative lines in Spooks rests upon the assumption that the conflicts in the contemporary societies happen because non-Western states jeopardize vital interests and values of the Western alliance and that these interests have to be protected at all cost. The primary aim of the modern day terrorist attacks on the Western societies is not only a high number of casualties as well as material waste, but more importantly, instigation of the sense of panic, insecurity and helplessness in the public. The series Spooks presents a wide spectrum of the contemporary forms of terrorism configuring the terrorists as non- western Others who are the constant threat which has to be eliminated through the process of macro- securitization. However, although the narrative of the series revolves around the paradigm of “the conflict of civilizations” which stereotypically represents the terrorists as Muslim fundamentalists, the deeper analysis of the complex narratives in the series reveals that it points to other possibilities by utilizing marginal story-lines. It shows that neither side in this binary opposition of “the West against the Rest” is coherent since the series features a number of protagonists whose actions and opinions do not fit into the typical representations of the agents of the western secret services and the members of the terrorist organizations. On the contrary, our article shows that Spooks uses the characters of terrorists with very complex motivations and allegiances both to their ethnic and religious communities and Western societies. On the other hand, the agents of the Western alliance often mistrust the illegal and unethical methods used in the war on terror as well as the process of macro- securitization which includes heightened control in all spheres of the society. Precisely this problematization of the conflict of civilizations which is the foundation of the war on terror is one of the most important aspects of the series since it undermines homogeny of the Western alliance. The series invites the viewers to become actively involved in the ideological debate on terrorism. Juxtaposition of various discourses through the inclusion of many, often completely opposite, voices is one of the features of the series which make it a product of complex television which always has to include the concepts of narrative complexity.

The study discusses the macro and micro framework of that migration flow in the light of the scientificanalytical approach of histoire croisée/entangled history. By means of it, the author analyses the “entangled” policies presented on the basis of Bulgarian, Turkish and other historical sources and compared to ethnographic fieldwork materials collected among the Bulgarian migrants in the city of Izmir. The study works out new issues and issues insufficiently examined of the written and oral history of the Turkish migrants related to the ideas of homeland, the influence of social and kin networks and the reconstruction of identity in the processes of migration, adaptation and integration.

МЕНТАЛЬНО-ДУХОВНІ ЦІННОСТІ ЯК ОСНОВНІ ІДЕНТИТЕТИ САМОВИЗНАЧЕННЯ ЛЮДИНИ В ЕПОХУ ГЛОБАЛІЗАЦІЇ

Author(s): Liudmyla Pyliavets / Language(s): Ukrainian / Issue: 1/2014

The article deals with the basic aspects of social and cultural changes caused by globalization processes at the present stage of its development. Particular attention is paid to the problems of self-determination rights, indirect spiritual, mental value, ethnonational transformations that affect the processes of identification and identity. The need for establishing the foundations of tolerance and an attitude of respect for other cultures while maintaining their own national identity and cultural specificity.Globalization creates a wide range of problems related to various areas of social life. Last and encourages researchers to focus primarily on the problems of human identity and its identity, transformation, which, in fact, gave rise to the processes that are now called globalization. That man – the main active protagonists of globalization.Therefore, the process of globalization in the early twenty-first century. actualized many problems. Among them a prominent place occupied Questions spiritual values and ethno-national identity and self-identity. It is through the process of identification and identity, as well as related needs, perceptions, feelings, values, intentions, motives, and emerging identification with certain cultural patterns and models, behavioral-role function, social institutions and relationships.For a long time it was thought that it was opposed by traditionalist values of modernization, but socio-cultural dynamics of the globalized world has forced the scientific community in a different way vidrefleksuvaty this conventional sense. Currently, the primary identity becomes qualitatively new characteristics: traditional instruction reinterpreted and adapted to the new reality. It is the spiritual and religious values can now not only contribute to the socio -cultural integration in societies that modernized – appeal to them is ethically motivated the search criteria of individual identity.It is not surprising that even in developed countries is now clear tendency to the restoration of historical and ethnic character of local traditions and cultural features that are often inherent characteristics of individual and group identity, a sort of "guarantors" of sustainability. Growing popularity of so-called education historical language that may have lost communication at the same time preserved the identity function, and therefore attracted ever lost interest. Popularized ethnic cuisine, Absolutely Africa in clothing, interiors, architecture.General form of integration into the global community of ethnic and cultural space is now increasingly becoming a problem of personal choice. And that choice is inevitable in defining the boundaries of identity involves isolating specific characteristics of individuals and groups in correlation with the corresponding value of spiritual and cultural symbols of the nation state ( civilization) or separate inokulturnogo group.So the two (the actual day ) directions search for identity – unity in diversity and opposition group etnoduhovnyh property values of other cultures – are transformed into a kind of conflict – between multiculturalism and ethnic nationalism.Multiculturalism – as guidance on maintaining ethnic unity and the value of the inhomogeneous society – offers a model of social action focused on freedom of expression of cultural experience. Multiculturalism is committed to cultural diversity as a constant (essential) and the most valuable quality (features) of the modern world , but politics is understood as democratic and developed countries. Parameters relevant policy sets the state.The task of any nation state that understands the inevitability of globalization – primarily to preserve their own mental-spiritual values that form the core of its culture. Ethnic identity is really suffering under the pressure of globalization active calls. The common area of residence and a common past, historical memory, traditions, rituals, traditions – all that is the basis of ethnic and national identity of the people, now more and more is on the periphery of the problems faced by the state, affected by migration, planting Westernized samples masovizatsiyi mosaic of culture and so on.The most important premise that today must prevail in dealing with the problems of globalization , there is an understanding that formed millennia mental and spiritual values do not have to compete with one hand – with new, partly technologized universalizovanymy samples and culture, on the other – inokulturnogo samples must not "dilute" ethnic-national values and are formed on the basis of their identity. Therefore the main task today – equal dialogue of cultures. For problems with laying the foundations of cultural dialogue and tolerance should be directed work state based education friendly attitude towards other cultures, the development of various forms of intercultural exchange, but subject to the express terms of emphasis on preserving the national identity and cultural specificity.

Author(s): Bogdan Stroutinsky / Language(s): Ukrainian / Issue: 1/2019

The methodology of work involves the use of culturological, axiological methods to clarify the essence of mental values in the context of globalization issues; analytical - for the study of the globalization processes taking into account the various directional refraction vectors in accordance with the ethno-national environment. Scientific novelty is that for the first time the category of mental-identifying values as a marker of national-cultural-identical in the conditions of homalization, which determine the core of the identification ethno-cultural model, is distinguished. Conclusions. As a result of the study, it was discovered that the spiritual and spiritual values of peoples should not compete with the newest values that are determined by technologized and universalized cultural models, and cultural patterns that are apocryphalized by a globalized cultural context should not "erode" ethnonational values and cultural identities formed on their basis . Homogeneous culture today is an equal participant in the dialogue of cultures. The work of the state on the principles of fostering a friendly attitude towards other cultures, the development of various forms of intercultural exchange, but a mandatory condition for the preservation of ethno-national identity and cultural specificity in the conditions of globalization transformation should be directed at solving problems of forming the foundations of cultural dialogue and tolerance. It should also be borne in mind that for many representatives of the ethnic majority, the recognition of the rights of socio-cultural minorities also becomes a problem of value choice.

Миграционният натиск към Балканите и тенденцията за поява на нови идентичности в България

Author(s): Spas Tashev / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 4/2015

The main theoretical elaborations on migration pressure have been analyzed in this article and its working definition has been offered. The migration pressure to Europe applied along the Eastern Mediterranean migration route, passing alternatively through Greece or Bulgaria, is considered. It was concluded that this is a main migration route to the EU and for the period 2009 – 2014, 32.7 % of the registered illegal immigrants in the EU have passed along it. The main countries of origin are Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. This fact determines the type of the illegal immigrants in Bulgaria. Out of 39492 people that sought asylum in Bulgaria for the period 1993 - 2014, the applications of 15774 people have been granted or 39.9% of all applicants. A prognosis has been made that during the period 2015 - 2025, considering the expected increase of the working age population in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq with another 16 million people and the difficulties of the national economies to create a corresponding number of jobs, a new surplus labor force will be created, which will increase the migration pressure on the Eastern Mediterranean migration route. This in turn will lead to continuing the trend of appearance of new identities in Bulgaria and the Balkans.

Author(s): Veselina Ivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 2/2020

Migration is a social phenomenon in a globalizing world with a real impact on the lives of people, communities, countries and around the world. Migration is the need of the individual to meet the material needs - standard of living, upgrading of education, qualification, etc. The efforts of EU Member States should be aimed at pursuing a policy that is balanced, i.e. to look for the socioeconomic benefits of immigration. An important motive for the return of a large number of migrants to our country may be economic growth and improving living standards.

Многоликая культура в современном мире

Author(s): Gulnaz K. Gizatova,Olga G. Ivanova / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 4/2016

The development of global culture cutting across all spheres of human spiritual life unveils the existing intercultural tensions and presents new challenges. Being a mass phenomenon, it qualitatively transforms the relations between different types of culture, thereby having a strong impact on national culture and promoting its massification. The paper proves that distinguishing of two aspects (ethnic and national, on the one hand; mass and elite, on the other one) makes it possible to reveal the dialectically ambivalent nature of modern culture. Special attention is paid to the ratio of mass and national cultures. Particularly, it is emphasized that the multifaceted identity of a person, which has become an integral feature of the modern time, serves as a foundation of consumption in both types of culture that employ myth to construct identity and strengthen their adaptation resources. It is stated that national culture accumulates all tendencies and contradictions that are typical for the society, including commercialization, which indicates that its adaptation function is enhanced under these conditions.

Author(s): Ludmyla Pylyavetc / Language(s): Ukrainian / Issue: 1/2017

Purpose of Article. The purpose of the article is to analyse of the main aspects of the solution of the Ukrainian culture identical problems in the globalization transformation, paying particular attention to the language problems. The methodological basis consists of general scientific and culturological methods. They form the research approaches. The complex approach means the analysis of the relations and links of globalization. The system approach allows us to study the globalization transformations as a system. It gives us an opportunity to see elements and systematize their connections. Scientific Novelty. The scientific novelty is to review the theoretical aspects of the problem of the Ukrainian cultural crisis in the circumstances of global challenges, particularly in sphere of the language. Conclusions. The processes of the cultural-informational globalization destroy cultural and linguistic self-identity. The most negative challenges of the national sphere of the language are migration and polyculture. They allow to mix the national culture with foreign patterns. The states have to make few languages as official national languages to support the social harmony and to prove the existence of the language borders. The integration stimulate the state to self-identify, to occupy its own place among others. It is impossible without knowledge of other languages whereas it leads to mixing Ukrainian with other languages.
