Entrepreneurial Activities

As religion gains prominence in several countries, research to understand the dynamics between religion and business becomes critical. Extant research paid scant attention to the influence of religion on entrepreneurial activities. To develop insights into this phenomenon, we conduct reflexive field-based case study research on a family business in Kazakhstan that experienced the inclusion of religion as a dominant logic in the management. Kazakhstan provides an interesting context to study the phenomenon as religion gained prominence in post-Soviet Kazakhstan after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Our study reveals how religion can influence the entrepreneurial mind and activities and transform the family business. Our inductive theorization offers a process model of entrepreneurial journey under the influence of religion and its impact on the organizing of family business. The model consists of influenced disruption, creative combination and pragmatic adaptation through which the entrepreneur with religion as a dominant logic can transform the family business and attain organizational stability. For academia, the study contributes to extend the scholarly understanding of religion as an influencer in entrepreneurship and family business. For practice, our work shows how religious principles as constraints can enact creativity and innovation in organizational transformation.

Family Vacation

The idea of leisure and vacations in the Soviet Union at first glance suggests a paradox. As a system based on the labor theory of value, the USSR emphasized production as the foundation of wealth, personal worth, and the path to a society of abundance for all. Work—physical or mental—was the obligation of all citizens. But work took its toll on the human organism, and along with creating the necessary incentives and conditions for productive labor a socialist system would also include reproductive rest as an integral element of its economy. The eight-hour work day, a weekly day off from work, and an annual vacation constituted the triad of restorative and healthful rest opportunities in the emerging Soviet system of the 1920s and 1930s.

The Impact

- This study analyses the impact of migration on the family roles in Moldova and the changing dynamics within transnational families. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the economic collapse of the 1990s, hundreds of thousands of Moldovans have left their country over the past decade to seek opportunities abroad. The mass migration has become the dominant socio-economic phenomenon of the country and has prompted the redefinition of family structure and ideology.Keywords Etnography, Family, Transnationalism, Eastern Europe, RemittancesThe migration of a large number of women leads to a reorganization of the division of labour and the gender roles within the transnational family. These changes can influence communities as well as families. Taking a closer look at the transnational experience of a family in the rural context of Pîrlita, a village near the Romanian border, the study explores the migrants' consumption desires and practices as reflective not only of commodified exchange but also of affection and sentiment.Keywords Etnography, Family, Transnationalism, Eastern Europe, Remittances

The author analyzes sectarian (Protestant) and Russian Orthodox religious communities on the basis of field work carried out in various regions of the Ukraine during 1963- 1965. Scholars were aided by Communist Party propagandists, and results were discussed at a republican conference in December 1965. The author demonstrates that the western regions of the Ukraine (which were incorporated into the Soviet Union later than the eastern regions) have higher percentages of young people in religious congregations. Religious tradition and education within the family are important factors in this respect, particularly among sectarian groups. The reasons for joining a religious group, or for switching affiliation, are discussed, with statistics given.

John Hoon's play, Kang Tek-koo, tells the story of the unexpected encounter between two half-brothers, one South Korean and the other North Korean, in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the play, the conventional tragic scene of the reunion of the family members separated by the Korean War is dealt with in a resilient comic spirit from the perspective of a younger generation of South Koreans. This article examines the production of Kang Tek-koo by the South Korean company Apple Theatre, which took place in 2001 – a time when the fluid dynamics of globalization were encompassing Korea, and the transnational flow of media, people, and ideology opened up the possibility for North and South Koreans to interact and search for a common language, culture, home and nationhood.

Dutch communists were remarkably progressive in their views on (heterosexual) sex, sex education, contraception and family planning. Many were active members of the Nederlandse Vereniging van Sexuele Hervorming ('Dutch League for Sexual Reform' or NVSH), and were passionate advocates of sexual health, and promoted the use of contraceptives and the legalisation of abortion. This progressive stance on sexuality and contraception was not led by the Dutch Communist Party (CPN). In fact, from the 1940s until the late 1960s, topics related to birth control, sex education and family planning had been given a wide berth in the CPN and its organisations. The CPN seemingly followed the example set by the Soviet Union, where, after a very brief moment of sexual liberation in the early post-revolution years, conservative views about sexuality, the family and household organisation had prevailed. Considering the Dutch party's refusal to address sex education and family planning, it is quite remarkable that so many of its members were such passionate advocates of sexual health. Based on a series of interviews with twenty-five cradle communists, communist archives, and a wide range of other sources, this article explores communists' stance on sexual health, and discusses their roles in the NVSH and the abortion rights movement during the Cold War. It argues that in regard to sexuality and sex education, the ideas of Dutch communists were much more in line with utopian socialist traditions that predated the Russian revolution as well as anarchist traditions carried through to communists, than with the Soviet ideology.

Konstantin Konstantinovich Wagenheim Vaginov was a Russian poet and novelist affiliated at different points with a number of literary groups in Petrograd/Leningrad. While originally born in St. Petersburg, he spent most of his life in Petrograd, which occupies a central position in his writings. He is best known for his four novels in which he ironically depicts the demise of Russia’s pre-revolutionary Silver Age in the Soviet Union of the late 1920s and early 1930s. Born on 16 April 1899 in St. Petersburg, he died in Leningrad on 26 April 1934. Vaginov grew up in the family of a high-ranking police official of German (and possibly Jewish) background. The family Russified their name after the start of World War I. Vaginov attended the Law Faculty of Petrograd University from where he was called upon to join the Red Army in 1919. Upon returning to his home city, he was active in several literary circles, including Acmeist Nikolai Gumilev’s Poets’ Guild, which he joined in 1921. He co-founded the Islanders group, in whose collected volume his poetry was first published. In 1924, Vaginov met the critic and philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin. Members of Bakhtin’s intellectual circle later served as prototypes for Vaginov’s first novel, Goat Song (1927). After 1927 Vaginov was affiliated with the avant-garde group Obedinenie real’nogo iskussta (OBERIU) and, together with its key members, participated in OBERIU’s famous evening "Three Left Hours," which he parodied in his second novel, Works and Days of Svistonov (1929). In 1931, Vaginov was subjected to a vicious attack by members of the proletarian writers’ group RAPP. His last two prose works, Bambocciada (1931) and Harpagoniana (1933, unpublished in his lifetime), explore many of the same themes as his first two novels, but irony and the carnivalesque give way to the grotesque in both. Vaginov died of tuberculosis in 1934, after a long illness.

Este texto tem como objetivo apresentar uma discussão acerca da proposta curricular das escolas itinerantes do Paraná e como ela se efetiva (ou não) no Colégio Estadual Maria Aparecida Rosignol Franciosi (localizado no distrito de Lerroville, município de Londrina), mais especificamente, em aulas de matemática. Para isso, contextualizamos historicamente a disputa pela terra no estado e a criação dessas escolas em acampamentos do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST). A proposta curricular dessas escolas baseia-se na obra de Pistrak a respeito da Escola-Comuna da União Soviética e está organizada a partir de complexos de estudo, desenvolvidos com porções da realidade, que articulam diversas disciplinas. Com base na realidade vivenciada na escola – registrada em um diário de pesquisa e em gravações de áudio de aulas de matemática – e no complexo de estudo referente à porção da realidade “Produção de Alimentos”, descrito no documento que norteia as práticas pedagógicas dessas escolas, apresentamos algumas ideias para o trabalho em aulas de matemática, abordando as produções dos familiares e discutindo a produção agroecológica e o uso de agrotóxicos.Palavras-chave: Educação Matemática; Educação do Campo; Complexos de estudo; Escolas itinerantes. ABSTRACT: This paper aims to present a discussion about the curricular proposal of the itinerant schools of Paraná and how it is effective (or not) in the State College Maria Aparecida Rosignol Franciosi (it is in Lerroville district in the city of Londrina), more specifically, in mathematics classes. For this, we contextualize historically the dispute for the land in the state of Paraná and the creation of these schools. The curriculum proposal for these schools is based on Pistrak's work on the Soviet Union School-Commune. Based on the reality experienced at school – recorded in a research diary and audio recordings of math classes – and on the complex theme related to the portion of reality "Food Production" described in the document that guides the pedagogical practices of these schools, we present some ideas for the work in mathematics classes, approaching the family members' productions and discussing the agroecological production and the use of pesticides.Keywords: Mathematics Education; Rural Education; Complex method; Itinerant schools.

In this study, we identified and analyzed 75 articles in the family business (FB) literature between 2000 and 2014 as to the case study design they adopted. We found that the positivistic case study approach is the FB disciplinary convention. The two alternative approaches of critical realism and interpretivism are used to a significantly lesser extent. We anticipate that in the future the positivistic approach will continue to be used widely. The other two approaches can be employed to a higher extent since their use is likely to contribute to a scientific pluralism in FB case study research.

Entrepreneurial Activities

The prevalence of minority family businesses in emerging markets has several theoretical and practical implications. First, a practical consequence of institutional weakness suggests that family businesses perform both wealth-creation and wealth-preservation tasks in an emerging market. Legal protection for property rights and financial institutions specializing in wealth reallocation and preservation are often ineffective in emerging markets. Lacking such security, the family business unit necessarily becomes something more than a value-creation device; it may also serve as a wealth-protection and intergenerational and/or geographical transmission device used to preserve and transfer wealth through various informal and often nontransparent means. Consequently, the financial goals of the family firm are subject to frequent trade-offs between entrepreneurial activities that generate new wealth and more defensive activities that preserve, hide, or allow for the geographic or intergenerational transmission of wealth.
