“I’m in and I’m in to Win”: The 2008 and 2016 Internet Announcement Videos of Hillary Clinton for President

Author(s): Nichola D. Gutgold,Johnna Purcell / Language(s): English / Issue: 17/2018

It is well known that a first impression may indeed set the tone for an entire relationship. In politics that first impression is likely to be the announcement speech. Hillary Clinton had a more complicated relationship with that first political impression than most politicians because she had been in the eye of the international public long before she ran for President of the United States. This article compares her two presidential announcement speeches – from 2008 and 2016 – in an effort to gauge what impressions she was trying to make in the hearts and minds of the United States voters, even though they no doubt had already formed an impression of her from her many years as the First Lady, the Senator from New York, and after the 2008 election as the Secretary of State.

“In Karlov, we were like a Family”: Communal memory space as lived mnemonic device

Author(s): Petra Burzová,Ilona Dvořáková / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

This paper attempts to answer the questions of how present perception and conceptualizations ofeveryday life in the city recreate representations of the past and the image of a long demolishedneighbourhood of a workers’ colony, and how this image is used as a “mnemonic device” when narrators seek to respond to the perceived socio-spatial problems. We deal with what we call “oppressedmemory” of a neighbourhood that does not exist in its “memory form” anymore, but is, though, livedas a communal memory space and used as a memory device to respond to the perceived current social and spatial problems of the city of Pilsen and beyond.

“Internationalist Education” and Solidarity with Chile and Latin America in the Late Soviet Period—Between Geopolitics, Protest, and Self-realization?

Author(s): Yulia Gradskova / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2011

The article explores the problem of mass Soviet campaigns through the example of Chilean solidarity movements (1973–1989). The campaign of solidarity with “the people of Chile” was declared by the Soviet government after the military coup of 1973 and was realized mainly through already existing structures and ideologies of “internationalist education.” These structures included first and foremost the Clubs of International Friendship created at schools, summer camps, and universities in order to propagate Soviet interpretations of the political situation abroad. The main aim of this article is to examine the specifics of the Soviet solidarity campaign and explore its contradictions. The article looks at knowledge about Latin America and Chile among young people during this period as well as at representations of the events in Chile in Soviet publications. Special attention is paid to so-called “informal solidarity”—attempts among small numbers of young people to find their own interpretations of the events in Latin America and Chile during the perestroika period. In Russian, extensive summary in English.

“Invisible children” – about social situation of prisoners children

Author(s): Sonia Dzierzyńska-Breś MA / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2017

Children of prisoners in Poland are ignored not only by researchers, but also by the practitioners connected with resocialization. There is still lack of research which would diagnosis social situation of prisoners children and institutions which would support and help them. All of this makes children of prisoners “invisible”. That’s why the main aim of my quality researches, which I had conducted in years 2013-2014 was diagnosed the social situation of prisoners families, including their children. I had realized interview both with prisoners wife’s and life partners (32 persons) and their children (12 persons), in the place of their residence. I divided tested families on such which have contact with convicted and such which hadn’t contact with him. Convicted husbands/ life partners and fathers were held in different kinds and types of prisons. The research sample were selected in differential way to capture the variability of the families social situation. Selected families were also in different social position. This allowed me to distinguish and characterize the three types of social situation in which are the families of prisoners, including children: (1) The social situation of the family focused on supporting the resocialization of the prisoners, (2) The social situation of the prisonized, which is in opposite to the process of resocialization, (3) social situation of the family focused on the reconstruction of their own social environment.

“JUNCTIONS” BETWEEN GYPSIES AND NON-GYPSIES. POSSIBILITY OF CONNECTING LINKS BETWEEN GIPSIES AND NON-GIPSIES

Author(s): Péter Várnagy / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2018

“Justitia generalis … virtus prout a charitate imperator, potest dici quodammodo charitas, et charitatis praeceptum tota lex.” (Billuart, 1829). It is known that culture as a scale of values in ethnic groups, like the Hungarian gipsy communities, is specifically a whole, in spite of its special character, in which every value is in connection with other values and is a part of the whole European culture. So, the government in power should make it possible for both the majority and minority what is vital for human life e.g. food, clothing, healthcare, work, education, culture, authentic information, the possibility of founding a family etc. (See “Gaudium et Spes – encyclical letter, 26)

“Jurnalismul cetățenesc”, o consecință a social media

Author(s): Cristian Florin Popescu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 4/2015

In his well-known argumentation, Marshall McLuhan postulates that a new born medium does not ”kill” a medium already existing. An argument perfectly valid, concerning ”classical media”. (Radio did not eliminate the printed press, and television did not eliminate either printed press, nor radio). But, since the 70's, New Media, changed this paradigm. We have in the coexistence new-classical media in the same time an interaction and a clash. New Media establish new relations regarding the consumer' identity, with important consequences in political, social and cultural fields. New media, with their so-called ”citizen journalism”, one of the continuations of social media, challenge the classical media, as well as journalism as professional activity, introducing an enlarged democracy, which is more and more close with anarchy.

“Just because they’re lies doesn’t mean they’re not true”: Learning and transmission of lies among storytellers

Author(s): Luciana Hartmann / Language(s): / Issue: 02/2014

In diverse rural communities located near the borders separating Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, traditional storytellers known as contadores de causos use lying as a strategy for their performances. Their legitimacy as storytellers greatly depends on the way they utilize this strategy. This article discusses the processes of learning, transmission and reception of lies in this region, where “telling true stories” and “telling lies” are often considered synonymous. During several years of ethnographic observation, it was noted that lying is performatized as a sort of provocation, establishing a game between storytellers and their audiences. Lying must thus be understood from the perspective of situated learning, as the result of a collaborative process that emerges from specific situations and contexts. To better understand the ambiguities, doubts, ironies and games expressed through lying, it is necessary to participate in the storytellers’ “community of practice,” allowing us to learn to listen, tell stories and perhaps even to lie…

“Küçük Dünyam” Adlı Hatırat’tan Şapka, Kur’an ve Sinema

Author(s): Gürbüz Deniz / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 34/2017

Bir insanı tanımak için o insanın doğal haliyle ortaya konan veya konmakta olan hayatına bakmak büyük öneme sahiptir. Bazı insanlar hatıralarını olduğu gibi yani yaşadıkları gibi bize aktarırlar. Bazıları -tabii imiş gibi- bir hayatı yaşamadıkları halde o hayat kendilerinin imiş gibi bize takdim ederler. Bazıları ise hem hayatlarındaki bazı gerçeklikleri bize aktarırlar ve hem de kendilerinin propagandalarını yapmak üzere yaşamadıkları bazı şeyleri yaşamışlar gibi bize anlatır ve o anlattıklarına da yine başka şeyler ekleyerek bizi bu hayalî gerçeklere(!) inandırmaya çalışırlar. Bizler de bize takdim edilenlerden o kimse hakkın-da bir kanaata ulaşırız.

“Kulak” Ve “Ses” İfadelerinin Kur’an Ayetlerindeki İzdüşümleri

Author(s): AYŞE BETÜL ORUÇ / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 1/2018

The ear is one of our sensory organs that allow us to perceive our surroundings. We perceive with it the voices that the objects possess by means of the waves within the mass of air surrounding us. In this sense, the ear has an important value for being. In the Qur'an, besides being an ear or a sensory organ, it reveals a person who reflects his level of consciousness and perception, revealing his awareness. It is not just the voices heard; the ear is special importance in understanding what is being said and what is said. Other sense organs and mold are mentioned together because of the feature. Of course, the word "voice" is also on the agenda when the ear is concerned. The verses found at the base of the basic qualities that man should possess present important dynamics about sound. Beyond being a symptom of voice being an inherent symptom, the latest discovery is pointing to the dimension of telling the apocalypse. This study tries to show in what context the hearing aid ear is expressed in the verses and its distinctive features, and its associated value, as well as its inherent value.

“Legal Needs” of the Parties in Divorce Cases in Japan

Author(s): Teiko Tamaki / Language(s): English / Issue: 12 (2)/2011

The paper presents how parties to divorce deal with their problems in Japan. It is based on the results of the Disputing Behaviour Survey (2005) and qualitative interviews conducted as a part of its follow-up research in 2006-2008. The findings indicate that there is a mismatch between theory and reality of the “legal needs” of divorcing parties, particularly in terms of accessibility and use of legal avenues for problem solving. The reasons for not using legal services may vary: because of the nature of problem (“family matters”) there may be more risk of invasion of privacy; disputants may feel awkward; they may know little about how to access legal assistance.

“Let’s Take a Look Together”: Walking Interviews in Domestic Spaces as a Means to Examine ICT Experiences of Women 60+

Author(s): Barbara Ratzenböck / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2016

Although mobile methods are becoming more common within the social sciences (e.g. Ricketts Hein et al., 2008 and Wiederhold, 2015, p. 607), they mostly take place outdoors. This paper examines the potential of walking interviews conducted in small domestic spaces to explore the ICT experiences of women aged 60+ and to discuss the challenges and advantages of this method. This case study of indoor walking interview material is a part of a larger research project on the ICT experiences of women 60+ in the Austrian province of Styria. The advantages and challenges of conducting walking interviews in the homes of interviewees are identified and explored. As this case study demonstrates, walking interviews in homes give the researcher a glimpse into the private areas of everyday life, let the interviewees lead the researcher through the space, allow the participants to conduct the conversation, and thus invite a reflection on the power dynamics inherent in the interview situation. This method also compares the statements provided by participants in semi-structured interviews with the information gathered through an encounter with media and ICTs in the home. These comparisons yield a variety of insights on prior statements through the addition of emphases, “contradictions,” or minimizing the importance of previous interview statements. Moreover, interactions with the objects in the home that are encountered during the walking interview also provide important “prompts” to stimulate a detailed and multifaceted discussion of everyday life experiences with ICTs and other media.

Author(s): Ernst Fürlinger / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2016

“MADEN” FİLMİNİN MARKSİST ÇÖZÜMLEMESİ

Author(s): Birgül Alici / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 32/2016

Looking at socioeconomic changes from a perspective of a certain historical necessity, Marx focuses on the position, interests and struggle of the working class in the most capitalist and democratic societies within Marxism. In the study, a Yavuz Ozkan film "Maden" which explains the basic concepts of Marxism and the struggle of the working class, which Marx attaches great importance to, has been tried to be analyzed. The film, in which the soul of Marxism and its basic elements are studied on workers in a social realistic norm, is the result of a successful Marxist approach reflecting Yavuz Özkan's era.

“Migratory Processes in Europe: evolution of the migratory interactions between the EU and Central and Eastern European countries”

Author(s): Irina Molodikova / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2011

To understand the evolution of the European Migration System one has to recognise that European states have again been facing significant changes in political, economic and social conditions over the last 20 years, which have led to a restructuring of their interactions. The collapse of the socialist system at the end of the 1980s and beginning of the 1990s was accompanied by the emergence of new economic systems in these countries and changes in European administrative and territorial divisions.
