Em sondagem realizada junto a marxistas brasileiros, as principais filiações distribuíram-se do seguinte modo: Gramsci(nianos) reuniu 33,2% da população; Lukács(ianos), 25,8%; Escola de Frankfurt(ianos), 10,5% e Althusser(ianos), 7,2%. A mesma sondagem indagou a fluência em língua estrangeira, obtendo respostas para: espanhol, de 49% da população; para inglês, de 46,0%; para francês, de 20%; para italiano, de 8% e, para alemão, de 2,9% (a cifra de 26% declarou não ter fluência em idioma estrangeiro). É notável que a língua nativa dos autores não corresponda à língua estrangeira de mais domínio dos marxistas (por exemplo, enquanto 33,2% são gramscinianos; apenas 8% declaram-se fluentes em italiano). Esta decalagem indica que o domínio da língua nativa dos autores de filiação consiste num recurso diferencial que confere vantagens  competitivas aos agentes. O presente artigo tratará dos efeitos da assimetria de capital linguístico no espaço social dos marxistas brasileiros.Palavras-chave: Marxismo. Ciências  sociais brasileiras. Capital linguístico.Power, sex and languages among brazilian marxistsAbstractIn a survey of Brazilian Marxists, the main affiliations were distributed as follows:-Gramsci(nianos) gathered 33.2% of the population; Lukács(ianos), 25.8%; Frankfurt(ianos) School, 10.5% and Althusser(ianos), 7.2%. The same survey asked for fluency in a foreign language, obtaining answers for: Spanish, 49% of the population; English, 46.0%; French, 20%; Italian, 8%; and German, 2.9% (the figure of 26% declared to have no fluency in a foreign language). It is notable that the native language of the authors does not correspond to the foreign language most spoken by Marxists (for example, while 33.2% are gramscinese; only 8% are fluent in Italian).This difference indicates that mastery of the native language of the authors of affiliation is a differential resource which gives a competitive advantage to the agents. This article will deal with the effects of the asymmetry of linguistic capital on the social space of Brazilian Marxists.Keywords: Marxism.

Today, ‘fear’ in its diverse facets is a topic growing in relevance in the media discourse. However, apart from analyses of individual psychic pathologies or general macro-sociological diagnoses, it has been largely neglected in (empirical) social sciences. The increasingly influential works of Bourdieu are no exception here, even though the concept of habitus inherently transcends positive interests such as lifestyle preferences, as analyzed in La Distinction. This becomes explicitly clear in his late works, above all in La Misère du monde, where the dispositions of agents are described in terms of the fears and worries associated with their positions in the social space and societal transformation processes. In this article the authors show that concerns, fear, and worries are constitutive characteristics of the habitus by investigating the structure of ‘fear manifestations’ in relation to the social space. Following Bourdieu’s conception, they construct a model of the Norwegian social space by applying Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) to survey data. They then investigate how questions on fears and concerns are related to the capital structure of the space. The article concludes with a discussion of the findings and a reflection of their implications for a sociology of symbolic domination.

The Difference

At the background of this article lies the question of how social sciences can internalize spatial and cultural phenomena and, in the most general sense, the ‘principle of difference’. Therefore, it has more than one problem and tries to see many seemingly contradictory phenomena as parts of a whole by employing a complex dialectical method. It looks at the relationships between the following phenomena: social and cultural; natural and cultural; universal and particular; similar and different. The article proceeds according to this method: it relates the opposites to each other through space and thus tries to show the following dialectical transitions: the social is produced as culture through the social space and the production of the social space itself. The article suggests that the transition between universal and particular constitutes the problematic of space, that space realizes the social as culture, and that this is the only realization of the social. The articles argues that the social is universalizing, and the cultural is particularizing, and that the social/universal can fulfill itself as necessarily cultural/particular. It also defends the principle of universality by stating that differences occur in relation to a whole. The article critically exploits classical social theory, specifically Marxist social theory and spatial Marxists such as Henri Lefebvre and David Harvey, some recent historical sociology, some postcolonial ideas, planetary urbanization theory, and tries to support the development of the theory of historical-geographical materialism.

Social actors claim that sociology studies social reality as a whole, but also concerns the parts, phenomena and processes of this reality, in their many and varied relationship to the whole. In the social space there are many groups that interact in this regard, and because of this there are many types of messages to reach one or the other of the groups.Public opinion is the reaction product of people's minds and the thinking sum of individual form groupthink.Management then applies individual problem then it analysis the public thinking. The reaction occurs using communication media between the individual and the mass of people bringing the two stakeholders to a common denominator and creating symbols that public thinking to answer.

In this article graffiti is perceived as the art of living with images operated by young artists. The author draws attention to the fact that this art does not only have a negative perception of character, and thus also a social perception (reception). There is explained what the polarization effect of two neighboring generations of graffiti artists in the social space is - open and hidden, in which a presented group of artists tries to manifest their position and presence. Is it worth talking about graffiti in pedagogy in social sciences? The author analyzes it (graffiti) which may not penetrate the structures of life of the young generation, their school, and out-of-school environments, and what does not become the source of rebellion and also a way for establishing a new type of social and educational relationship.

The current study aims at identifying the effect of internal control on the competitive advantage of the bank with its three dimensions (administrative, financial and operational control) on the competitive advantage of the bank. The analytical, descriptive and deductive approaches were applied in the current study. The current study is a field study in terms of nature and explanatory in terms of purpose because it aims at revealing the cause and effect between internal control and competition. In terms of time horizon, it is a cross-sectional study applied on a sample that composes of all employees of the internal control department in banks.137 questionnaires were distributed to the employees of Internal Control Department of the banks; 106 of which were retrieved, with a recovery rate of 77.36%. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to test the hypotheses of the study and to answer its questions through Simple & Multiple Linear Regression. Among the most important results of the study was a statistically significant effect of internal control (administrative, financial and operational control) on the competitive advantage of the bank. The study recommended the establishment of an efficient internal control department through linking it to the director of audit or the general manager, and the feedback of such department shall be taken into consideration and the reasons of such feedback shall be identified without delay in order to reduce the risks, increase profits and raise the level of performance, and thus, increase the competitive advantage of the bank.

The article explores the possibilities of application P. Bourdieu’s social topology in the studying of inequality in science in national and transnational contexts. It is argued that in the conditions of globalising science, discussions about its egalitarianism, which began approximately in the middle of the last century, are moving beyond national borders. For the purposes of studying global inequality in science, scholars often apply the theoretical frameworks of world-systems analysis, neo-institutionalism, and the theory of global governance. However, these theories often lead to reductionism which ignores the symbolic dimension of scientific activity. The article suggests reassessing the heuristic potentiality of P. Bourdieu’s social topology, which mitigates the mentioned drawback of other theories. The article aims to demonstrate the relevance of this theoretical framework for the study of inequality in different scales of scientific activity due to the fact that the French sociologist focused mainly on national academic systems. The article defines the general provisions of P. Bourdieu’s topological concept of the field and the units of the social order of the scientific field. It also demonstrates the role of various forms of capital in determining the structure of social space. Based on the case of social sciences, the article explores the formation of scientific fields, their interaction with other fields, and their structure in different scales. The structure of the scientific field on the national scale can be defined as a dichotomy of dominant – dominated or centre – periphery. On the transnational scale, this dichotomy is also relevant but it is represented by national fields. Among them, the dominant position is occupied by the United States and Great Britain, which have the largest amount of symbolic power. The structure of the transnational scientific space, however, is more complex and includes overlapping fields of national, regional and more global dimensions. The article argued that applying the theoretical framework of the field to the study of the transnational scientific field will remain tied to the definition and explanation of the peculiarities and the interaction of national scientific fields as long as national states keep their institutional boundaries in scientific activity.

Social space has received increased interest in the social sciences and in study of religion. Studies of religion frequently use theorists like Lefebvre, Harvey, Foucault, de Certeau and Massey. Schatzki’s theory of ‘timespace activity’ has received attention in the social sciences, less so in research on religion. This article gives an interpretation of timespace activity and discusses possible implications for the understanding of religion. Schatzki understands time and space as interwoven with social practices or activities. This means that social practices are not only the ‘doing-mode’ of society and religion, but a social ontology that understands the social as nexuses of social and material practices. Social practices are stretched out in time and space, and simultaneously, social practices do or produce time and space. Schatzki understands time and space not as separate and relating, but as intertwined. This interwoven character is expressed in the concept ‘timespace activity’. Furthermore, timespace activity has a teleoaffective structure. Practices and actors have drives towards something that is emotionally valuable. The paper argues that timespace activity can contribute to the understanding of religion, in the sense that religion is fundamentally everyday, impure practices, often in nexuses with numerous other practices. On this account religion is not practiced, religion is practice. Religion as practice produce timespaces and realities and affective drives which constitute the active positioning and negotiation of the participating actors.

Chapter abstract The extent to which the concepts of field and social space are linked to a concrete mode of empirical research—and in particular to a set of original statistical tools—has seldom been acknowledged. This chapter aims to re-establish the close link between the field concept and geometric data analysis (GDA), Bourdieu’s preferred technique for mapping the “social distances” between individuals. The elective affinity between the two is based on a relation of tight interdependence: on the one hand, the emergent practice of GDA sustains and strengthens the “implicit philosophy” of the theory of fields; on the other hand, the method’s widespread use by Bourdieu and his collaborators has facilitated GDA’s international reception in the social sciences. The chapter concludes by discussing the empirical research program that results from wedding a sociology of fields with the systematic use of GDA.

CLIL (Content Language Integrated Learning) has increasingly gained recognition as a methodology for teaching mainstream courses at Colombian universities to foster the learning of English through academic subjects in the social sciences. This is a report of how overlaying thematic maps to identify correlating data has been used to develop support for essays which focus on social issues. As students overlaid thematic maps to identify the relationship between social indicators, they were able to sustain a thesis for their essay thesis topics through geographic research. Hence, the exercise demonstrated the simultaneous learning process advocated by CLIL as students acquired map skills to support a thesis in an essay.
