Детско-юношеските библиотечни отдели – неформално образование в сянката на институционализираното образование

Author(s): Lyuba Dimitrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 7/2018

The article presents the information obtained by interviewing six library specialists in correlation to a current research among primary school teachers. It represents an attempt to specify and measure some aspects of the communication and cooperation processes between representatives of the official educational system and of the libraries which are also knowledge providing organizations. The intersection points reveal the specific professional influences and relations, which impact the formation process of the young readers and the child character as a whole. The text represents just a part of the received data and some of the current tendencies. Initial conclusions: primary school teachers do not recognize library activities as a possible continuation of the educational process and young readers development; financial problems and lack of cooperation between librarians and teachers result in providing pupils with syllabus literature in most cases, thus belittling the library role and reducing its functions to just a provision of texts.

Author(s): Jarosław Rubacha / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2018

One of them was newspaper “Czas” (“Time”) printed in Krakow, addressed to the conservative part of Polish society in Galicia. This professionally prepared newspaper informed the Polish readers about events that took place in the world and in Europe, and at the turn of 1885 and 1886, devoted a great deal of space to the unification of the Principality of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia.

Józef Piłsudski – Creator of Independent Poland

Author(s): Włodzimierz Suleja / Language(s): English Issue: 5/2018

The article presents the significance of Józef Piłsudski (the Head of the State and the Commander-in-Chief at the beginning of the Polish state re-established in the 20th century) for the process of regaining independence by Poland. Piłsudski acted in this direction as a socialist activist, a creator of a paramilitary movement before World War I, and a legionary commander in 1914-1916. Without his actions, both on paramilitary and purely political grounds, the process of re-establishment of Poland as a sovereign state would have been significantly hampered and slowed down.

Практиките на паметта в празника на Джебел

Author(s): Slavka Karakusheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

The text analyses the entanglements between the commemorative and the festive aspects of the events organized as anniversaries of the so called “Revival Process” (the forced assimilation of Bulgarian Turks in mid- to late 1980s) and the protests against it. Following the example of the Day of Dzhebel, the study tracks the various forms of remembering the past. On the one hand, it is the “top-down”constructed official memory of the traumatic events presented in the well-established discourses and cultural practices of the commemoration, while on the other hand is the recollection of the shared everyday life that transforms the event into a fest, reviving the memory of the lost social relations in the community.

Setting the Stage for Bridging Disability and Trauma Studies: Reclaiming Narrative in Amy and the Orphans

Author(s): Josephine Barnett / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2018

Disability studies and critical trauma studies are both deeply concerned with the social construction of meaning and identity. However, these disciplines often remain mutually disengaged, inadvertently overlooking shared mechanisms of oppression that foster stigma. This article explores the novel depiction of disability and trauma in the play Amy and the Orphans by Lindsey Ferrentino. Amy, a character with Down Syndrome, challenges disability stereotypes by exercising autonomy; she is not solely defined by her disability or her experiences of abuse. The theatrical narrative is one of both disability and trauma, encouraging a nuanced reflection on the origins of stigma and revealing how theatre can be used as a tool of resistance to reclaim agency through performances that challenge conventional ‘disability’ stereotypes.

Децата в конфликт със закона и участието им в химерни групи

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

The paper discusses the concept of children’s participation in law conflict within chimeric groups such as deviant subcultures as a result of the various factor influence and reasons associated with the main social institutions. The substance of the issue is determined by the growing forms of group aggression, group criminality and violence among adolescents that go beyond frames of school institutions and occupy the public domain. The target of the survey are minors placed in a correctional educational institution - boarding school. These children are in conflict with the law where social behavior is expressed in different forms of deviant and delinquent behavior. Their manifestations are not just aggressive, they are related to a high degree of public risk because they carry out acts punishable by law. The research interest is related to the specification of the determinants for inclusion in the chimeric groups and their influence on the subsequent behavior of adolescents.

The Double Consciousness and Disability Dilemma: Trauma and the African American Veteran

Author(s): Sharon D. Raynor / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2018

Daniel Morrison and Monica Casper contend that disability studies and its cultural locations have been remarkably silent on matters of the traumatic origins of many disabilities, on the ongoing relationship between shocking events, their abrupt and chronic impact, and experiences of disability. This article explores how critical disability studies must intersect with critical trauma studies to address how the African American Vietnam war veterans who, traumatized and disabled by war and conflict, are further marginalized by societal constraints of race, class and gender. This essay focus on an understanding of W.E.B. DuBois’s ideology of double-consciousness, critical race theory and cultural studies and how they can emphasize the intersection of war injury and disability with a tremendous regard for the lived racial, class and socio-economic oppressions that contributed to what military service and disabilities of the African American Vietnam veteran reveal about masculine identity.

Растения и идентичност: от биокултурните характеристики към валоризацията на местни растителни ресурси

Author(s): Valentina Ganeva-Raycheva,Dessislava Dimitrova,Teodora Ivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2018

The paper examines the process of transformation of plant species into emblems that play an important role in the construction of local identity and the specific taste of place. By comparing the case of Raduil and Smilyan beans, the authors seek answers to the questions: how a plant crop that has not been the subject of intense cultivation and extensive commercialization becomes a value and is permanently associated with the name of a settlement (area), how this happens in time, what are the main social actors in the process, which are the economic and socio-cultural preconditions, how the valorisation of certain local plant resources is expressed in cultural forms and can be an incentive for activating local communities and economic revival of the studied areas. The bio-cultural dimensions of beans in Smilyan and Raduil and the process of evaluation of these food plants are the main threads in the study.
