Az alárendelt helyzettől az önmegvalósításig? Oscar-díjas fi lmek női karaktereinek elemzése a magánszféra és a nyilvános szféra viszonylatában

Author(s): Emese Bíró / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 01/2014

This paper presents the analysis of female characters in leading roles and important supporting roles in films that have won the Oscar Best Picture Award from 1970 to 2013. It concentrates on the chosen female characters’ activity, goals, goal attainment and hierarchical relations with male characters and other female characters, in the private and public spheres. Looking into the women character’s perception of the border between their private and public spheres, I am interested in whether they experience the passing of this border as easy or difficult, as a one way possibility or as flexible, and how they reconcile their activities in the public and private spheres. A further question is which female characters occupy more favorable power positions and have better goal attainment: those who are active either in the public or in the private sphere, or those who take part in both. I conducted qualitative content analysis of the films based on a previously elaborated analysis schema and on narrative film analysis aspects.

"Byla to okupace, není-liž pravda?" Předložení jedné z hypotéz

Author(s): Igor Zavorotchenko / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Based on material gathered by Czech historians and personal testimonies givenby eyewitnesses during oral history interviews recorded by the author himself,this article focuses on the significantly different interpretations of the Soviet military presence in Czechoslovakia after August 1968, as they appear in Czech or(post) Soviet sources. Defining this event either as an “occupation”, or avoiding,and even refusing to use this term, remains a fundamental dividing line. Theauthor attempts to understand the interpretation of these events as evidence of thedifferences in the wider meaning Czechs and Russians give to their own recenthistory.

"ELECTRONIC SHEET OF PRACTICE" USED IN ROMANIAN STUDENTS' INTERNSHIP ACTIVITIES

Author(s): Luminița POPA / Language(s): English / Issue: 01/2017

Practice in Romania universities is regulated by the Education Law, which stipulates the students' obligation to perform it. In the case of students' specialty professional practice at economic agents, the Labor Code has also provisions that apply to them. The Labor Code is completed by the other provisions of labor legislation in Romania, in harmony with EU norms and rules of international labor law. The orders of the Ministry of Education on professional practice stipulates that conducting internship in university programs is developed under the Framework Convention between the organizer of practice (university), practice partner (economic agent) and practitioner (student). The Electronic Sheet of Practice (ESP) requires also three different perspectives for student practitioner, faculty member (practice mentor) and economic agent. Using Electronic Sheet of Practic instrument, faculty members practice mentors can post their programs including students' practice results. The existence of such assessment tools and their use in accordance with the law governing the practice of students ensure professional assessment and uniformity of training, fostering their careers accessibility. Such tools, appropriate to each stage of specialty practice development, could be judiciously organized in the European Union countries. The need for such tools, which represent a support unit for the specialty practical training of students, is felt during this period in Romania, which, as its membership of the European Union, must find solutions to meet both commitments and to resolve social problems they face. The educational activities and products of the project, are evaluated favourably by the students who intend to continue their implementation, including in new projects development of the some aspects of the project developed.

"First in Line". Student Assessments of Pioneering Examples of Blended Learning

Author(s): Roderick Flynn / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2016

This paper presents a study of how a cohort of students respond when they encounter a single module delivered via a blended/flipped learning approach at a point when the rest of their learning occurs in more traditional face-to-face learning environments. The study is based on a case study at the School of Communications, Dublin City University where the author has pioneered online delivery of module content blended with F2F moderation of small-scale seminar sessions based on the online content. The paper introduces the practical difficulties – for both tutor and student – of “being first” in the sense of creating course content and learning to interpret/process content delivered in a non-traditional fashion.

"From medium to meaning". O propagandowych środkach wyrazu w filmie "Triumf woli" Leni Riefenstahl

Author(s): Małgorzata Laskowska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2020

The main purpose of this paper is to determine the most frequently used propaganda forms of expression in the film Triumph of the Will by Leni Riefenstahl. This research target may be presented in the form of the following questions: Which propaganda forms of expression have been used in the film? Which symbols have been used to convey the message in Leni Riefenstahl’s film? The answers to these questions will be interpreted in the context of Stewart M. Hoover’s theory “from medium to meaning.” Its author paid attention to the essential question: To what extent do media convey meaning? To what extent do they give meaning to a phenomenon? Analogically, a question may be asked, with reference to Riefenstahl’s film: to what extent her film might have given meaning to the Nazi propaganda? What was the role of cinema in Adolf Hitler’s policy and in popularising his views? The article is a review paper. Its indirect goal is to draw attention to the transfer of meaning in audiovisual communication.

"GLOCALIZATION" OF SHAOXING CITY IN CHINA: INDIAN EVIDENCE

Author(s): Ling Li / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2019

As the biggest textile cluster in southeast China, Shaoxing is described as a low-end globalization city with many international businessmen here. Indians play an important role in such markets to transport huge quantities of goods not only to their local bazaars but also to West Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa. This paper aims to explore Indian’s perception and interpretation of the image of Shaoxing city as they live and do business there. Word association testing and semi-structured interview are utilized to triangulate the research results. Based on the weighting statistics and thematic analysis of semi-structured interview, the paper concludes that Indian’s perception of Shaoxing city, largely positive with small negative voices, shows a fail “glocalization” tendency that requires strengthening cultural exchanges between local residents and Indians.

In addition to original scientific and professional papers from the field of adult education and learning and the field of culture, other contents are also being published in the Journal, such as: diverse releases, critical reviews, documents and information on adult education practice, education policies and culture in BiH and the region, book reports, translations of articles on current topics from foreign journals,  as well as information on significant events in the country, region, Europe and the world regarding culture, education and learning of adults and work of other organisations active in these areas.  The Journal has been established in 2001 and exists for almost 18 years. “Adult Education”, as the first Journal treating adult education and culture in BiH, represents for the scientific community a significant step towards constitution and profiling of a new scientific discipline and its institutional establishment, and attracts promising scientists in the field who create a corpus of texts of essential importance for this science to become an academic discipline. It is particularly important that the Journal gathers scientific associates from the region, who on the one hand establish a necessary network of scientific researchers, which on the other hand increases the visibility of the Journal and strengthens its position in international context.

"Oštećenje", "ometenost", "hendikep": ideologija jezika deficita

Author(s): Miša J. Ljubenović / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 1/2007

The almost absolute dominance of the medical (biological, clinical) model of disability in our science and research practice dealing with disability is a very serious obstacle to the reform of social welfare and educational institutions. Hence it deserves to be subjected to thoroughgoing criticism. The view that terms are mere names for objective substances independent of the researcher is prevalent, and it essentializes the systems of classification. The translation of the author’s mental constructs into the status of physical substances is mediated by the common sociopolitical and ideological framework of the society in which he or she works. The whole process is hidden behind increasingly complicated methodological procedures providing the illusion of scientific objectivity. Various postparadigmatic movements in social and human science rightly point to the role of language/discourse in reflections of reality. This article proceeds from the assumption that hegemony, oppression and power relations are woven into attractive forms of narration by means of which the scientists (unconsciously) legitimize status hierarchy and material inequality, which is particularly evident in a kind of human diversity that is usually ascribed the attribute of disability. We should search for the way out by merging “top-down reform” – a demedicalization of the current disability concept and the corresponding terminological apparatus – with “bottom-up reform” – fundamental changes in society itself through political action.

"PESCO - PM2 - ESDC" COULD E-LEARNING BRING CLOSER TOGETHER EU's SUCCESS STORIES?

Author(s): Ilias KATSAGOUNOS,Jochen Rehrl / Language(s): English / Issue: 01/2018

The publication of the EU Global Strategy in 2016, led to the development of several new instruments one of them, being the permanent structured cooperation (PESCO), that had already existed for a decade but was waiting for the right moment to be implemented. PESCO can be considered the biggest project for European security to date, which brings together the EU Member States, the European Commission, the Council of the European Union and the European External Action Service, the main actors when it comes to the Union’s foreign and security policy. The authors argue that the Open PM2 methodology should be used to manage PESCO. The necessary education and training for project managers and team leaders should be offered by the European Security and Defence College (ESDC) and its 140 network partners, under the auspices of the Open PM2 Centre of Excellence by using the well-established and widely recognised e-learning management system of the number one CSDP training provider. The article provides concrete solutions and a detailed training needs analysis.

"Problem generacija": nastanak, sadržaj i aktuelnost ogleda Karla Manhajma

Author(s): Todor Kuljić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 3/2007

The article presents a brief history of the concept of generations. It focuses on Karl Mannheim’s article “Problems of Generations” (1928), its social origins and theoretical content. Mannheim’s role was crucial in 20th century development of the (new) concept of generation. In order to understand the problem of social (historical) generations and evaluate Mannheim’s position within the concept’s development, several points are discussed in more detail: the history of the concept of "generations", the relationship between class and generation, and how ideas about the formation of generations help us to understand social dynamics over time. In doing so we assume that the origin of Mannheim’s lecture lies in the generational experience of Hungarian intellectuals during the collapse of the old order of the Dual Monarchy and the Revolution of 1918–19. The Budapest intellectual life in the 1910s was important for Mannheim’s “Problems of generations”, as well as A. Weber’s cultural sociology. Finally, the article analyzes the migration of the generations concept from one culture (Germany) to another (the United States), and from one discipline (sociology) to another (memory culture).

"Solidarność" w perspektywie własnej biografii w opowieściach robotników

Author(s): Agata Stasik / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 41/2012

Tekst jest próbą analizy fenomenu „Solidarności” przez pryzmat opowieści biograficznych robotników zaangażowanych z ruch społeczny. Wypowiedzi zebrane zostały przy zastosowanie metody wywiadu narracyjnego. W toku analizy wyróżniono podstawowe etapy opowieści o zaangażowaniu w działalność społeczną powtarzające się we wszystkich analizowanych wywiadach, takie jak: pierwsze doświadczenia polityczne, decyzja o zaangażowaniu czy wspomnienia dotyczące wprowadzenia stanu wojennego. Dzięki przyjętej perspektywie możliwe jest prześledzenie dynamiki ruchu z perspektywy przemian tożsamości zaangażowanej jednostki, szczególnie zwiększanie zakresu kompetencji i sprawczości oraz wchodzenie w relacje społeczne oparte na nowych, bardziej egalitarnych zasadach. Paradoksalnie, przyjęcie perspektywy indywidualnej jest jednym ze sposobów na dotarcie do tego uniwersalnego aspektu przeszłych wydarzeń, który może być inspirujący dla osób podejmujących podobne wyzwania w innych okolicznościach.

"Stara" i "nowa" mała ojczyzna jako element tożsamości polskich powojennych przesiedleńców z Wileńszczyzny na Warmię i Mazury

Author(s): Dorota Zwierzyńska-Symonajc / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 27/2019

The paper presents the findings of research into the socio-cultural memory and identity of Polish displaced persons after 1945 from the Vilnius region in Warmia and Mazury. Its main emphasis is on presenting the results related to the formation of views regarding the ‘old’ and ‘new’ little or private homeland as an element of the respondents’ identities. Narrative interviewing conducted on the 36-person population of respondents belonging to three different generational groups revealed that the settling of displaced persons from the Vilnius region in Warmia and Mazury constituted a new stage in their lives. The circumstances of their resettlement proved detrimental to their adaptation to the new location. For a long time the displaced persons were unable to find a place suitable for settling, and even when they found such a place, they frequently lived with a feeling of temporariness, living from one day to the next, awaiting their return. As the years passed they had to face the question of who they were, of how they perceived their new place. The narrative of three generations reveals that the displaced persons did not put down roots in their new place of residence, they did not undergo a process of integration and identification with their new little homeland. They ‘tamed’ the new little homelands they moved to, new bonds of habit and pragmatics were formed, but they never achieved the affective intensity of the bonds with the Vilnius region, with its culture and traditions - drifting ever further into the realm of myth as the years passed by. Processes of integration and forming roots took place among a portion of respondents from the second generation, and among all in the third generation of resettlers. For these two generational groups, Warmia and Mazury is their little or private homeland. In terms of generational changes in identity, the historical and sociological process initiated after the war with the mass-scale migrations thereby seems to be coming to an end.

"The 'Skopje 2014' Project and its Effects on the Perception of Macedonian Identity": Revisiting the Study After the Prespa Agreement (Second edition)

Author(s): Katerina Kolozova,Kalina Lechevska,Viktorija Borovska,Ana Blazheva / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2020

Extract from the study:In order to explain the diplomatic complexity made simple and legally elegant in the form of the agreement of Prespa/Prespes, i.e., the document settling the decades long “name dispute” between (now) North Macedonia and Greece, one has to look at the multiple and sensitive identity related stakes involved in the solution. The Agreement was signed in June 2018, by the Syriza led government of Greece and the Social-Democratic ruling coalition of what was then the Republic of Macedonia. In spite of the decades long mantra of the so-called international community, including the UN, EU and NATO, that the dispute and its solution would not affect any questions concerning the identity of the ethnic majorities of either of the nations, as they are non-negotiable rights to self-determination, it has always been clear that the dispute existed because of Greece’s concerns over its cultural and historical heritage being appropriated. It was an unequivocally declared position on the part of the Greek government displayed on the website of the Hellenic Ministry of Foreign Affairs prior to the signing of the agreement (titled “FYROM Name Issue”). Macedonia – after the agreement renamed “Republic of North Macedonia” – had been worried, at least a sizable part of its public, that its national identity would be effaced through the name change. Thus, the embarrassing truth was not to be avowed, at least not by the respectable leadership of the developed world. However, the truth about identity concerns was intimated through the fact that the longest serving UN envoy, assigned with the task of solving the issue, Matthew Nimetz, habitually proposed not only a new name for the state (of the “Republic of Macedonia”, its constitutional name until 12 February 2019), but also solutions to the adjectives that concerned the nationality and the language. The adjectives were to be derived either from the name of the state or to be avoided entirely, something along the lines of “citizen of….” or “the official language of…” followed by the possible new name of the country. The novelty of the solution stems from the fact that both countries and their leaders decided to acknowledge, instead of disavow, the fact that the stakes were identitary: Greece was worried that its Hellenic heritage is being appropriated by the “Macedonian” identity of its northern neighbors, whereas the Macedonian public and its politicians were worried that the identity “Macedonian,” in its contemporary sense, would cease to exist. These not easily solved concerns were tackled in a nuanced fashion by both parties, resulting in the Prespa Agreement. Let us take a look at a several years old study conveying the identity perception of the Macedonians in 2013, and how it may have been affected by the Agreement.
