Cultural Embeddedness

Analogously to the works in the field of new social studies of childhood, this contribution deals with the concept of childhood as a social construction, in which children are considered as social actors in their own living environment, engaged in interpretive reproduction of the social. In this perspective the concept of agency is strongly stressed, and the vulnerability of children is not sufficiently taken into account. But in combining vulnerability and agency lies the possibility to consider the perspective of the subjects in the context of their social, political and cultural embeddedness. In this paper we show that what children say, what is important to them in general and for their well-being, is shaped by the care experiences within the family and by their social contexts. The argumentation for the intertwining of vulnerability and agency is exemplified by the expressions of an interviewed girl about her birth and by reference to philosophical concepts about birth and natality.

Lack Of Commitment

This work contributes to the few case studies that have examined the challenges of implementing transitional justice in displacement contexts by using the specific case of the displacement trend in the Conventional Basin of Lake Chad to further underscore the dynamics of the problems involved in the issue. The work finds that lack of commitment to the implementation of regional policy frameworks and also the numerous weaknesses of the demobilization, deradicalization and reintegration (DDR) programmes implemented in the region have all had specific hindrances, especially in the social and political (re)integration of displaced persons in the region. The work therefore calls for more regional efforts that take into account clearer screening methods, accountability measures, as well as the (re)integration of displaced persons in the study area into the wider systems of their various home countries.

Focusing on the phase before immigration occurs, this paper examines the social and cultural embeddedness, as well as gendered nature, of migration decisions. Based upon focus groups and interviews with recent immigrants from the People's Republic of China in Vancouver, Canada, I explore migrants' deeply personal and multi-layered reasons for departure, challenging economistic views that tend to overvalorize the desire for improving human capital. I also consider the phenomenon of the “adventuring wife” and her “agreeing husband” through a gender lens. The paper demonstrates the significance of context, and reveals the active role of the imagination in initiating migration.

A conclusion is made about the similarity of the social-economic role of these regions as a low-populated raw material base with small share of industry. Although the regional policy toward Patagonia has never been regulated by any program or strategic document the way it is in Siberia and East regions of China, some success has been achieved, especially in oil refining.

Challenges of translating cultural embeddedness in crime fiction: a picture from Croatia The aim of the present study is to examine the specific features of translating crime fiction genre in Croatia in the 2000s. Frederic Jameson (qtd. in Rolls, Vuaille-Barcan & West-Sooby 2016) foregrounded the notion of crime fiction’s role as the new Realism due to the importance it places on historical and geographical specificity, and the social fabric of our daily lives. In line with this, an assumption could be made that the overvaluation of place in crime fiction may present a particular challenge in translation, not only in terms of translation strategies chosen by translators, but also in terms of preferable marketing strategies pursued by publishers and editors and the correspondence between them. The focus of this study is on the patterns of handling source-culture embeddedness, typical of this genre, in translation. The study examines how diverse agents (editors, translators and language revisers) involved in the production of translations of this genre interact and how their interaction influences the decisions on handling the genre’s embeddedness in a particular, source-culture, reality. As crime fiction novels are a highly popular translated genre in Croatia, crime fiction novels make a substantial portion of the production of the publishing sector. For the purposes of this study we have selected a number of crime fiction novels by several frequently translated authors (P. D. James, Ruth Rendell, Michael Connelly) that have been published by Croatian publishers of diverse profiles, ranging from well-established publishers with long presence on the market to start-ups with a relatively short market life. The data analyzed include interviews with the agents involved (translators, editors and language revisers), peritext of these editions and analysis of selected textual segments.

Cultural Embeddedness

This chapter examines biology and culture as interactive influences in shaping the human essence, arguing that “culture is biological.” In particular, it considers the idea that cultural embeddedness might be a distinct human attribute from an evolutionary perspective. It then shows how biological processes shaped over millennia have culminated in a species that has the ability to read and write, play computer games, and fly airplanes. It also explores the genes-physiology-neuroscience side of human behavior and the social-cultural-economic environment in which the behavior takes place, along with the basic building blocks of values. Finally, it discusses some characteristics that make humans unique: their ability to build on previous innovations; their differentiation into social roles and the assignment of consensually agreed social status; and their belief in supernatural agents.

The article analyzes the issues of improving the system of management decisions in key areas of regional policy at the level of municipal districts. On the example of the Voronezh region, management problems are identified in the economy, the social sphere, environmental management, and the activities of local governments. Social and economic restrictions in the management of the development of municipal areas are revealed: imperfection of the financial and budgetary sphere, contradictory legal documents, demographic tension expressed by depopulation, long migration outflow, reduced quality of life, etc. In order to improve the management of the development of the territory, it is proposed to use indicators of sustainable economic, social and environmental development of municipalities, allowing establishing and evaluating trends in the functioning of local government entities. The advantage of using indicators of sustainable development is an individual approach to identifying competitive advantages and disadvantages of municipal districts. Based on this, the author carried out a typology of municipal districts of the Voronezh region, which reflected the central-peripheral model and significant destructiveness in the socio-economic sphere. It is these circumstances that must be considered when developing regional policy at the municipal level.

The Impact

The article presents a new capital conception of estimating the impact of sport activity of the population on the social-economic development of the economy and the society. The social-economic effects of sport activity are estimated through the formation of various types of capital – physical, social, and intellectual, which can be further quantitatively assessed. It was shown that sport activity forms all the above types of capital. The account of all these types of capital allows comprehensive assessment of the effect of the measures aimed at increasing the sport activity of the population. The main applied result of the article is the scientific substantiation of the possibility to assess the recoupment of the investments into physical culture and sports development and the increase of the sport activity of the population. Thus, a new tool for estimating the efficiency of the regional policy in the sphere of physical culture and sports is proposed.
