Chimerical Groups in School as a Social and Educational Phenomenon

Author(s): Nikolay Tsankov,Veska Guyviiska / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2017

The problem discussed is related to the need for clear socio-pedagogical parameters of (criminal groups) gangs in schools. The different interpretations link them to difficult children, youth subcultures, and street gangs while chimerical groups are a possible conceptual projection on them. We are attempting at a socio-pedagogical reading of a community of children and adolescents with deviant behavior but not juvenile offenders, which makes us face legal terms and delinquent behavior. A chimerical group of dealers, pimps, prostitutes and other subjects with deviant behavior at school imitates the behavior of criminal groups in society, borrowing mechanisms and means and also creating their own social networks. Unlike real life criminal groups, though, chimerical groups are a subject of education activities as a function of the school institution. The most timely the pedagogical intervention of the school institution (not only as socializing and training), the greater the chances these children and adolescents’ lives to be saved and their personality preserved.

„Символният“ капитал на българското училище

Author(s): Nikolay Tsankov,Veska Gyuviyska / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2017

This study is influenced by the ideas of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. The assumption is that the external differentiation of the school system conceals a social selection of students, teachers and parents. On an empirical level, the answer to the question of the existence of symbolic capital at school and the students’ explicit or implicit awareness of it is sought.

This rare occurrence has invited the public to enjoy, even for scientist as a mean of doing research or for public as a curiosity. A mud volcano is a geological formation created by the expulsion of pressurized gasses and mud from below the Earth’s crust. By using a systematic review process, the authors review the phenomena by using physical, chemical, and geological approaches. The review process comprises five phases: framing questions for a review, identifying relevant work, assessing the quality of studies, summarizing evidences, and interpreting the findings. The results show the physical and chemical dimensions of mud volcano and depict to what extent the physical and geological efforts to stop the disaster. In this study, there are some additional references and sources of new knowledge for scientists, citizens, and government.

Викториански поглед към бъдещето за век напред

Author(s): Tzveta Todorova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2017

The Victorian Age (1837 – 1901) is the famous period of British Queen Victoria’s rule. At the border between the two centuries, it is quite natural for the Victorian man to look at the future of mankind in 100 years. The reasons for this interest are determined by the changes in the economic and spiritual sphere. The successful continuation of the industrial revolution, especially in technology, the intensive infrastructure development, the construction of new railways, the active colonial expansion of England in Asia and Africa, stimulate such interest.The article discusses the Victorian vision of the world for the year 2000. A project under the title: “Life in 2000” was recorded on the occasion of celebrating the year 1900. It represents a series of 12 postcards produced by the leading Dutch producer of chocolate “Theodor Hildebrand and son” who, past the pastries, undertake the printing of images illustrating the man’s ideas about the type of world after 100 years. These ideas are extremely entertaining with their subject matter and because some of them have found a place in today’s modern day.

A Soros Alapítvány képzőművészeti támogatásai Magyarországon: A nyolcvanas évek második felének tendenciái

Author(s): Kristóf Nagy / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 21/2014

The following paper examines the influence of the Soros Foundation over the internal and external relations of the Hungarian art field form 1984 to 1989. More specifically, it investigates the forms and directions of fine art subsidization and their political and ideological contexts. The activities performed by the Soros Foundation in the second half of the 1980s can be seen as part of a regime change within the artistic scene. In their struggle for cultural hegemony various actors related to the Foundation were able to strengthen their counter-hegemonic artistic practices. Opposing the late socialist artistic hegemony of the Kádár regime, this also was the period when „contemporary” art appeared in Hungary for the first time. As a result, Hungarian art had been put into context with the Western art world: new dependencies were formed, within which Hungarian and Eastern European art found itself in a peripheral position. An important consequence of this was that Eastern European artists became forced to continually demonstrate their Europeanness both internally and externally.

Antipolitika és a kapitalizmus szelleme: Disszidensek, monetaristák és a cseh rendszerváltás

Author(s): Gil Eyal / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 21/2014

The article focuses on the – at the first sight counterintuitive – temporary alliance between two important social groups (the so-called „dissidents” and „monetarists”) during the Czech transition to capitalism. After the repression following the Prague Spring in 1968, the two groups find themselves in different social positions. While a part of the humanist intelligentsia, as a response to ideological repression, chose to „dissent” and subscribe for the ideas of anti-politics and to „live within the truth”, a great number of critical economists could remain within the institutions of the state apparatus (albeit without being able to make a career), where they gradually picked up monetarists ideas and practices. The dissidents imagined themselves as having a moral authority because of their sacrifice, and through their pastoral power they persuaded people to participate in a self-organized civil society put in contrast to the socialist regime. The monetarists, on the other hand, subscribed for the idea of the market and for its technique of „governing from distance” as opposed to the state’s discretionary interventions. Because of their elective affiliation, the two groups became the main mediums of the spirit of capitalism during the transition process, thus they created the bases of „capitalism without capitalists”. Though the alliance between the two groups did not last long, during their affiliation they created the context of neoliberal reforms by the monetarist technology of governing from distance and by propagating the idea that the society should purify itself by sacrifice.

Роль импортных материалов в создании костюмных комплексов городского населения Молдавского княжества XV—XVII вв.

Author(s): Natalia M. Kalashnikova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 6/2017

The article analyzes written, graphic and material sources about extensive and active trade relations of the Principality of Moldavia that played an important role in formation of costumes worn by various estates in Moldavian cities in 15th—17th century. As the so-called “Tartar route”, one of the most actively used trade routes of 13th—14th century: from German cities to Lviv and Kamianets-Podilskyi and farther to Tighina (Bender) and Black Sea ports of Billhorod-Dnistrovsky and Caffa (Feodosia) constantly became more and more dangerous, merchants gradually ceased to use it and, in late 14th — early 15th centuries, adapted new “Moldavian route” from Krakov and Lviv to Suceava, Galats, Bilhorod and Caffa. Thus, it were Krakov and Lviv that secured Moldavian trade with Poland, Germany, Flanders, and Italy. Due to this route and arrival of oriental and, later, western imported materials (textiles, jewelery, etc.) in 16th—17th centuries, the costumes of Moldavian nobility were formed. First, Byzantine (as earlier in time) elements prevailed in these costumes, later to be replaced by West European fashion trends. The former reached Moldavia through neighboring Balkan countries, and the latter through Hungary and Poland.
