Sociological Concept

AbstractThe paper combines the historical analysis of the social transformation of rural Hungary with the evolution of the sociological concept of ‘peasant embourgeoisment’. The authors highlight the long lasting impact of the concept in the understanding of academic knowledge production. The concept was the product of thorough ethnographic studies in the inter- and postwar periods by scholarly intellectuals, whose aim went beyond academic purposes and translated into a political agenda of rural modernization. To make such a methodological combination the authors demonstrate that the global historical context is necessary in the understanding of how knowledge production occurs and interacts at various historical conjunctures, especially during periods of crises.

The Press

One of the most “mysterious” manifestations of social-historical phenomena of human civilization can be attributed to the phenomenon of the central place; of great importance and the leading role of the press in all sectors of the life of human civilization. The inexplicability of the phenomenon of the press is manifested in the fact that existing in the “embryonic” form and in the long vigorous development; throughout the entire period of transformation of sociopolitical relations of society; the nature of the transformation of the press itself in its ideological sense has remained before; and still remains studied and substantiated phenomenon of human civilization. The fact of the phenomenon of the press is reflected in many studies and publications; but the problem of the contradiction between the attempts to penetrate deep into the origins of the social transformation paradigm of society and superficial research on the modern press transformation paradigm has not been resolved. Based on the social-historical analysis of the sources of the causes of this contradiction; we attempt to mark the path to resolving the above contradiction.

Theoretical Foundations

This chapter interrogates the contemporary dominance of a “What Works” approach in studies of the police. It examines and finds wanting the methodological and theoretical foundations of this orientation. Instead, it argues that researchers should begin with an understanding of human beings, adopting research methods resonating with their conclusion. Ethnography is based on the meanings human beings attribute to the social world; it is concerned with a systematic, detailed description and analysis of the police and policing. After this introduction, major ethnographic studies of the police are discussed, and their main findings analyzed. Studies conducted beyond Anglo-American societies are covered. Each study reveals a key feature of policing that would not have been identified if ethnographic, participatory methods had not been used. The consequences of each finding for policing and for academic knowledge are discussed briefly, and somewhat ironically, key implications for police policy are considered.

The processes that drive knowledge production and dissemination in scientific environments are embedded within the social, technical, cultural and epistemic practices of the constituent research communities. This article presents a methodology to unpack specific social and epistemic dimensions of scientific knowledge production using, as a case study,  the Center for Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS), a National Science Foundation “little science” research center involved in theoretical and applied work in the field of wireless communication and sensor networks. By analysis of its scholarly record, I construct a social network of coauthorship, linking individuals that have coauthored scholarly artifacts (journal articles and conference papers), and an epistemic network of topic co-occurrence, linking concepts and knowledge constructs in the same scholarly artifacts. This article reports on ongoing work directed at the study of the emergence and evolution of these networks of scientific interaction. I present some preliminary results and introduce a socio-epistemic method for an historical analysis of network co-evolution. I outline a research design to support further investigations of knowledge production in scientific circles.

[full article and abstract in English] We live in a “post-neoliberal world”, as it has been discussed in the mainstream literature, but the vital link between neoliberalism and neopopulism has been rarely discussed. Nowadays in international political science it is very fashionable to criticise the long neoliberal period of the last decades, still its effect on the rise of neopopulism has not yet been properly elaborated. To dig deeper into social background of neopopulism, this paper describes the system of neoliberalism in its three major social subsystems, in the socio-economic, legal-political and cultural-civilizational fields. The historical context situates the dominant period of neoliberalism between the 1970s in the Old World Order (OWO) and in the 2010s in the New World Order (NWO). In general, neoliberalism’s cumulative effects of increasing inequality has produced the current global wave of neopopulism that will be analysed in this paper in its ECE regional version. The neopopulist social paradox is that not only the privileged strata, but also the poorest part of ECE’s societies supports the hard populist elites. Due to the general desecuritization in ECE, the poor have become state dependent for social security, yet paradoxically they vote for their oppressors, widening the social base of this competitive authoritarianism. Thus, the twins of neoliberalism and neopopulism, in their close connections—the main topic of this paper—have produced a “cultural backlash” in ECE along with identity politics, which is high on the political agenda.

The article focuses on the cultural-historical analysis of the category of child rearing in Russian family law. It shows how the objective (i.e. defined in customs, church constitutions and substantive law) side of the social situation of upbringing, representing a certain aspect of the social situation of development, has changed dramatically in the historical context. Perhaps, the most considerable changes occurred in the goals of upbringing: there is a clear shift from absolute obedience to taking into account the child’s interests and opinions in a whole range of issues concerning rearing and education. This shift creates conditions for proper development of the child’s inner position that reflects his/her proactive position towards the social reality. The paper provides a historical overview of parental responsibilities and the system of prohibitions in child rearing. It concludes that the subject of forensic inquiry in civil cases concerning post-separation parenting is the possible negative impact of personality features and mental state of parent on the development of child.

We have seen an emergence of transformative food studies as part of sustainability transitions. While some scholars have successfully opened up their experiences of pursuing transformation through scholar-activism, assumptions underlying researchers' choices and how scholars orient to and go about their work often remain implicit. In this article, we bring forth a practice theoretical understanding of knowledge production and advocate that researchers turn to examining their own research practice. We ask how to make our own academic knowledge production/research practice more explicit, and why it is important to do so in the context of transformative food studies. To help scholars to reflect on their own research practice, we mobilize the framework of practical activity (FPA). We draw on our own experiences in academia and use our ethnographic studies on self-reliant food production and procurement to illustrate academic knowledge production. Thus, this article provides conceptual and methodological tools for reflection on academic research practice and knowledge production. We argue that it is important for researchers to turn to and improve their own academic practice because it advances academic knowledge production in the domain of transformative food studies and beyond. While we position ourselves within the qualitative research tradition, we believe that the insights of this article can be applied more broadly in different research fields and across various methodological approaches.

As an intervention into a domesticated academic knowledge production and an increasingly normative queer theorizing, Queer Indiscipline, Decolonial Revolt asks for the proliferation of other modalities of thinking and writing. The context of such interrogation is the neoliberal restructuring of the university which comfortably accommodates criticality. Where criticality has lost its sting, this paper calls for a daring indiscipline opposing political, public, and scientific disciplining. This brings practices of doing knowledge and not the knowledges as such into attention. An intimacy between the queer and the undisciplined is established by referencing the resistance to assimilationist politics and practices as queer theory’s principal asset. Yet, undisciplined know¬ledges are not only geared towards challenging the bounds of the discipline(s), but also, and more broadly, towards decolonial futures. Queer Indiscipline, Decolonial Revolt explores various moments of concomitant unlearning and improvisation on and beyond the academic stage. The piece conducts three non-linear explorations. The first part analyzes the making of a hierarchical knowledge machine as part of capitalist modernity and revisits moments of queer and black queer theorizing that challenge the dividing lines between high/low, sensible/nonsensical, intellectual/corporeal, theory/practice, speech/chatter, etc. The second part discusses the masterful subject as the agent of knowledge. While the persistence and the pervasiveness of such master fantasy gets acknowledged, the verve of this paper is oriented towards the modality of queer dispos¬session. The final section gives way to the sabotage inherent in the unruly rhythm of life. Such sabotage is tested to counteract the frameworks, formats and concepts which articulate intellectuality on a more fun¬damental level. This advances the deconstruction of intellectuality to the terrifying and beautiful point where intellectuality is co-extensive with the social.

Third-wave marketization in South Korea has changed the social structure of academic knowledge production, revealing the dilemmas and limitations of both traditional and organic public sociology. The emergence of collective intellectuals during the candlelight movement points to an alternative relationship between the researcher and the researched. The candlelight vigils that recently rocked Korean society have pointed to new possibilities for a public sociology of labor. This article discusses the conditions for public labor sociology as a new paradigm based on collective knowledge and argues that when facing increasing professionalization of public sociology, the “crisis of labor” calls for a collective public sociology.

Цель исследования - выявить социальный и исторический контекст, который влияет на религиозную ситуацию на Филиппинах в настоящее время. Обозначены исторические предпосылки появления католичества и православия в этом государстве, выявлены причины исламских восстаний и террористических атак, появления аглипайской церкви и распространения протестантских ересей. Научная новизна работы заключается в систематизации основополагающих причин религиозной обстановки настоящего времени на Филиппинах, а также во введении в научный обиход цифр из государственной статистики Филиппин, данных из ежегодных отчётов США о религиозном составе и из других иностранных источников, поскольку материалов о конфессиональном составе на русском языке довольно мало. Делается вывод о пёстрой религиозной ситуации на Филиппинах с конкретизацией положения основных вероисповеданий. Objective of the study: to identify the social and historical context that influences the religious situation of the Philippines at the present time. The historical context of the emergence of Catholicism in the Philippines is outlined, the reasons for Islamic uprisings and terrorist attacks, the emergence of the Aglipay Church and the spread of Protestant heresies are identified. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the systematization of the underlying causes of the religious situation of the present time in the Philippines. As a result, the author highlighted the religious subtext of those phenomena and events of the religious life of the population of the Philippines that affect the present and the future.

Goals And Objectives

Introduction. The Nordic countries are the most economically developed and stable ones in terms of the political and social context. However, the processes of globalization, social and demographic change, business development, increased competition and commercial interests modify the functioning of the economic and social model of the Nordic countries, which experienced a number of crisis phenomena at various stages of its development. The objective of this piece of research is to analyze the prospects for the development of the Nordic model of the social state based on the study of its structure and historical development. Materials and Methods. The economic situation in the Nordic countries is the object of this study. To achieve the goals and objectives set, the research employed concrete structural analysis (to describe the theoretical aspect of the model) as well as concrete historical analysis (to study the processes of formation and development of the model). Results. The analysis of the Nordic economic and social model has been carried out; the theoretical aspect of the social and economic model as well as the historical context and the process of its development have been studied. The crisis phenomena and methods used to overcome the crisis of the social and economic model have been analyzed. A range of potential challenges have been identified and the prospects for the development of the region have been presented. Discussion and Conclusion. The model studied is capable of structural changes provoked by external factors and challenges. The economic experience of the Nordic countries is of interest to us not only in terms of the success of this model, but also in terms of overcoming the crisis. The results of the study can be used when developing new models that can be applied in other countries, taking into account their economic characteristics.
