Депортация или доброволно изселване на турците в комунистическа България (Кампаниите от 1950–1951 и 1969–1978 г.)

Author(s): Zeynep Zafer / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 7/2021

It is not only the deportations, but also the political evictions from the countries of the communist bloc carried out as a result of applications that are forcible, whether they are large minority groups or opposition-minded citizens and dissidents. In order to survive physically, citizens from the region of the former communist camp, the life of which became impossible in totalitarian conditions, applied for emigration to diplomatic representations of some countries of the Western bloc. If they were given basic civil rights and freedoms, freedom of speech and thought, the right to profess their religion, they would all prefer to remain in their country. The aim of this paper is on the basis of Turkish and Bulgarian documents to shed some light on the character of the first ethnic cleansing (1950–1951) in communist Bulgaria which have caused the following „voluntary“ exodus (1969–1978), which preceded the largest, second ethnic cleansing since 1989, perfidously called the "great excursion".

Постмодернизъм и невротеология. Някои актуални въпроси около феномена на религиозното преживяване

Author(s): Ivo A. Dochkov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2024

The human experience of consciousness and the divine has long been a source of fascination and curiosity. In recent decades, two seemingly disparate fields have emerged one after the other to rethink our experiences in new contexts: postmodernism and neurotheology. It was already obvious to Aristotle that logic is a reflection of language. This immanent coherence and the status of "truth" have been well-rethought by the neurosciences. Neurotheology offers a new field of research on key problems related to paralogisms, the aetiology of belief, and social beliefs in the direction of generating a new field of solutions. It attempts a kind of technical revision of why thinking suffers from deficiencies with a rather Cartesian approach. The other line of reasoning also provides interesting perspectives - the consideration of consciousness as a function of the universe. If successfully tested - this thesis would fundamentally change the perspective of psychology in the direction of a complete transformation and fusion with neuroscience. The big winner in the duel of positions is ethics - it would have to rethink its basic definitions, with all the social implications that entails. The advent of brain implants and large language models (which, driven by intellectual inertia, we call "artificial intelligence"), and advances in medicine and pharmacology certainly contribute to the possible realization of some, if not all, of these scenarios.

УТИЦАЈ ЕКОНОМСКИХ МИГРАЦИЈА НА САВРЕМЕНУ ГЕОПОЛИТИКУ -ДЕМОГРАФСКА ПЕРСПЕКТИВА

Author(s): Dimitrije Teodosić / Language(s): English Issue: 20/2023

The paper “Theoretical framework of the influence of economic migration on contemporary geopolitics” aims to show the reader the possibilities and ways in which the state can improve its policy regarding economic immigration. Theoretical models such as the “new economy of migration”, dual (segmented) labor market theory, world system theory and the “center-periphery” model are primarily presented and how they are included in both migration and geopolitical research. The given examples can be used to understand the role of economic migration in the formation of the geopolitics of a country. Furthermore, through the contemporary politics and geopolitics of demographic transformation, the conclusion is reached that the future of state management lies in demopolitics. Demopolitics represents a synthesis of geopolitics, migration theories with a focus on the economy of the state. The mechanisms and domain of demopolitics consists in stabilizing and increasing the number of inhabitants, lowering the average age of the population, equalizing population density throughout the country, managing population trends, managing economic growth to ensure social stability. What is also important is that migration is included as an important factor not only in the creation of population policy but also in the creation of development policies. Finally, through a comprehensive analysis, the main direction for improving the policies of developed countries is presented from a demographic and political point of view.

ПОПУЛАЦИОНА ДИНАМИКА НАСЕЉА ГРАДА ПРОКУПЉА У ПЕРИОДУ 1991−2022.

Author(s): Marija Mihajlović,Maja Novović / Language(s): English,Serbian Issue: 20/2023

The observed period of demographic development of the City of Prokuplje (1991−2022) was largely marked by unfavorable demographic processes. Depopulation is the most prominent in the paper, because it represents the main feature of demographic development. Depopulation begins with the long-lasting emigration, and in the last years the negative natural increase has contributed the most to it. Decades of continuous emigration have left long-term consequences, as a large number of young and active residents moved out, as well as their potential descendants, which affected not only the total number of residents, but also the natural movement and structures. The characteristics of unfavorable biodynamics are particularly visible in the last inter-census period, when low birth rates and high mortality rates were recorded, primarily due to the aging of the population (Lajić et al, 2010). The contemporary demographic development of the municipalities of the Toplički District is accompanied by major changes in population movements, natural and mechanical movements of the population and population structure. The statistical analysis of previously collected and processed data led to the conclusion that these changes are the result of a series of mutually conditioned factors, which led to changes in the development of the population, and which had a negative impact on the demographic development of the City of Prokuplje in recent decades (Novović & Mihajlović, 2017). Rural depopulation is an important problem of global proportions. Therefore, models should be created using global open data to cluster wider regions according to their risk of rural depopulation and drivers in different contexts (Jato−Espino & Mayor−Vitoria, 2023). The main factors of the process of depopulation and demographic aging are: emigration, as well as the direct and indirect consequences of the process of emigration and the process of industrialization in which there was a concentration of industry in urban settlements outside the studied territory. This led to an accelerated and disorganized process of deagrarianization; unfavorable agrarian policy, which did not encourage the young population to stay in rural areas, and underdeveloped infrastructure in the territory of the City of Prokuplje. Those continuous migrations have changed the age structure of the population in its most vital part (20-40 years), which resulted in not only a change in the total number of inhabitants, but also in the natural change of the population. The unfavorable age structure of the population has a negative impact on central functions in rural settlements (closing of shops, schools, clinics, post offices, etc.). This situation will largely lead to the demographic emptying of not only small settlements, but also medium-sized ones. The results of the paper indicate a poor demographic perspective for the City of Prokuplje. Smaller and higher altitude settlements are especially at risk, which will soon be emptied at this rate.

SOCIOEKONOMSKA STRATIFIKACIJA I URBANO STANOVANJE U POSTSOCIJALISTIČKOM BEOGRADU

Author(s): Nikola Jocić,Aljoša Budović,Ivan Ratkaj / Language(s): English,Serbian Issue: 21/2024

Socialism introduced the ideology of egalitarianism and aimed to create a fairer society, which was spatially embodied in large-scale modernist housing estates. These estates housed populations from various socioeconomic backgrounds, reducing overall segregation. However, in the post-socialist period, growing socioeconomic differentiation has led to market-driven housing projects primarily targeting the upper and middle classes. Despite these market mechanisms, both in the socioeconomic and housing spheres, residential segregation in Belgrade has not yet significantly increased. The “socialist suburb” zone in Belgrade still maintains a socioeconomically mixed population and keeps city-wide segregation lower than market dynamics might suggest. The high rate of homeownership, as a result of privatization, reduces residential mobility and contributes to the stability of the socioeconomic attributes of many parts of the city over time. The decline in socioeconomic status from the city centre to the periphery reflects a consistent pattern not only in the observed period but also throughout a longer historical timeframe. This pattern, established in the late 19th century, has been reinforced by various economic and political mechanisms. Pronounced economic differentiation during the transition period, as well as prior to World War II, coupled with rudimentary social housing and the neglect of the unemployed, created similar effects. Urban areas in the central zone with a predominantly lower socioeconomic status, which existed before the war and persisted through the socialist era, are now being displaced by gentrification processes. The phenomenon of informality in Belgrade was never completely eradicated; instead, it was continuously pushed to the periphery as the city expanded. Established peripheral informality, associated with urban poverty, remains a significant aspect of Belgrade’s residential segregation with strong temporal consistency. However, in the post-socialist period, informal housing has started to extend beyond the periphery and into central areas. The contextual dependence of residential segregation patterns is an ongoing research topic in urban studies, particularly for dynamic urban environments like Belgrade.

WOMEN'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE LIBERATION OF KOSOVO IN 1998-1999

Author(s): Moses KAMBERI / Language(s): English Issue: 21-22/2024

The work brings to mind the years 1998 and 1999 in Kosovo, which brought a lot of suffering. Serbian forces carried out massacres, murders, raped women and men and destroyed almost the entire country. Approximately 90% of Kosovo Albanians were forcibly expelled from their homes. The paper brings to attention a contemporary issue, in these times of horror that are being repeated in the same form again in Ukraine and Palestine, groups of women and girls who are raped, massacred and killed, help displaced people with food, support, medical care, housing and education.Over 20 thousand Albanian women and girls were raped by the Serbs during the years 1998-1999. The harrowing narratives of Kosovar women and girls reveal the barbaric violence that the Serbs have inflicted on women, girls, mothers, children and men, who became victims of rape during the war. The role of women in Kosovo, in this war, was as important as the role of women for the creation of a new life.This research is based on real statistics of the testimonies of women and girls during the war in Kosovo. According to the records, women and girls got knowledge about weapons and ammunition and became part of the national liberation struggle. The women became the informers of the massacres that the Serbs would do in the towns and villages, preventing them.The lack of an accurate number of women participating in the war for the liberation of Kosovo means that they do not take their rightful place in this war. They deserve recognition. According to the data, there was a considerable number of women in the guerrilla BIA. Women had a key role in the liberation of the country, they must have been forgotten by the free state of Kosovo.The contribution and sacrifices of women during the war in Kosovo were unparalleled, they aimed at the war and the liberation of the Albanian lands. In many studies, this role of women in liberation has not been identified, due attention has not been paid to it, and this is related to the existence of patriarchal norms of Kosovar society. The exclusion of women from this active contribution is related to these norms and this study makes an effort to bring this contribution of women to the liberation war of Kosovo. The study brings to attention that the contribution of women during the war should be documented and be part of our oral and written history, whose contribution has been little described.

Moja prva generacija

Author(s): Mira Lakićević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: Spec./2024

In this article, we presented the first generation of social work graduates in Serbia, written by the author who belonged to that generation. The reasons why the social community decided to establish a four-year study program at the Faculty of Political Sciences, University of Belgrade, in the 1973/74 academic year were highlighted. From the presented curriculum, it is evident that the approach was interdisciplinary a quality that has been maintained to this day and is a condicio sine qua non for the high-quality education of social workers. The first generation was characterized by enthusiasm, dedication to their studies, and a willingness to address emerging issues, inevitable when introducing something new in practice and theory, in collaboration with exceptionally conscientious, fair, and responsible professors and the then administration of the Faculty. The first generation was successful, affirming the profession and quickly finding employment in their field after graduation. We could say they were privileged because they were taught by top-notch professors, the best educators, and esteemed researchers.

Dvostruki standardi zaštite prisilnih migranata u zemljama Evropske unije: primer Mađarske i Poljske

Author(s): Violeta Đorđević,Tamara Stojanović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: Spec./2024

This paper aims to analyze the migration policies of European Union (EU) countries during the period from 2015 to 2023, focusing on double standards in the protection of migrants. The study seeks to identify potential differences in the programs available to migrants from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries and those from Ukraine, and how these differences are reflected in migration protection policies. Through a comparative analysis of programs, political decisions, and media representation in EU countries, focusing on Hungary and Poland, we conclude that migrants from MENA countries often face limited rights. In contrast, migrants from Ukraine have access to more favorable conditions. Reasons for these treatment disparities include security concerns, prejudices, and political influence in host countries. This research shows that implementing such standards poses challenges to upholding fundamental values of equality, solidarity, and tolerance, often calling into question the consistency of European policies.

НАРОДНИТЕ ОБИЧАИ ПРЕЗ ПОГЛЕДА НА БЪЛГАРСКИЯ ХУДОЖНИК ОТ 20-ТЕ ГОДИНИ НА ХХ В.

Author(s): Ivo Raykov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 23/2024

The decade of the 1920s was undoubtedly reproductive for Bulgarian fine art in many ways. Having returned from abroad and “immersed” in European culture, many Bulgarian artists bring to their homeland the courage to create new and supranational art. Experiencing the ferocity of the First World War, many of the same artists who had been mobilized to the front line, in the following decade of the 1920s, turned their attention to the “native,” creating a much-needed consolidation of community in times of national disaster. In addition to the transformation of folklore myths and legends, characteristic of the symbolism in Bulgarian art, the study of the “native” also develops in the consideration of traditional folk customs, looking into the life and the celebration of the Bulgarian village, which is increasingly losing its national image – to replace the leotard with a balton and the breeches with trousers and become part of the society of modern Europe. Many artists capture in their paintings the disappearing images of lazarki, the “Butterfly” custom, kukeri, koledari, survakari, weddings and other moments of the Bulgarian ritual calendar.The present work traces both the ethnogenesis of the customs depicted in the paintings, as well as the specifics of their reification, the specifics of the folklore area to which they belong, and their reflections on the idea of “native art” both from the 1920s and in the next decade, when the look at folklore-ethnographic imagery pays attention to different accents, but always in search of the national tradition.

ТАЙНАТА НА РАЖДАНЕТО: НА ПРАГА МЕЖДУ НЕБЕТО И ЗЕМЯТА

Author(s): Nikolay Sivkov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 23/2024

In traditional culture, one of the ceremonial items used is straw. In everyday life and on farms, straw has a utilitarian purpose, but in birthing ritual practice it receives a symbolic function as a marker of the boundary between the earthly and the afterlife worlds in the mythological space; a meditative function of the connection between two different zones of the mythical space; a function that neutralizes the detrimental impact on people from the afterlife.
