State Of The Field

The article explores the state of the field in developing a cross-cultural model of grief. Dialogues within several disciplines bear on the question, but those dialogues are very separated from each other. After drawing a distinction between cross-cultural and multi-cultural, the article reviews research from a broad range of psychological and social sciences. The issue of psychic unity vs. cultural diversity had prevented fuller use of anthropologists' work, but sociology of knowledge mediates between those poles. Contemporary work on the universality of emotions provides the concept of innate meta interpretive schemas within cognitive models supplied by culture. Cultural historians trace changes in how death is perceived and in the acceptability of emotional expression. The article concludes with two suggestions to carry the field forward: one a large scale cross-cultural survey and the other qualitative study in both the researcher's culture and in other cultures.

Personal Threat

Abstract This study was an eidetic, phenomenological investigation of cross-cultural learning that involves overcoming an experience of personal threat. The study and its findings were placed within the context of Husserl’s genetic phenomenology and the extant humanistic literature on cross-cultural encounter. This appeared especially appropriate given phenomenology’s history “within the movement of the so-called ‘Third Force’ psychology” (Giorgi, 1970, p. xi). The eidetic reduction revealed the phenomenon to be rooted in an essential unfamiliarity with the other compounded by presumptions of the other as representing a substandard foreignness harboring danger. For the phenomenon to unfold required the learner to witness spontaneous emotional expression and empathically discover that the other struggles and suffers “like any other human being.” Openness to the other progressively builds and new meanings emerge from the interpersonal exchange as compartmentalized, intellectualized understandings of the other are outmoded.

Abstract The Covid-19 pandemic that has plagued various fields of life, both in the economic, political, education, until the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak was declared as national disaster. Based on that, various efforts are continuously being pursued for strategies to tackle the spread of the virus which has claimed a relatively large number of lives. Among other things, these efforts are through the policy of Large-Scale Social Restrictions, social distancing, including efforts to find the vaccine. The purpose of this study is to analyze the legal aspects of the Covid-19 vaccine and the responsibility of the State in fulfilling the Covid-19 vaccine. This research typology is a doctrinal research using primary and secondary legal materials using analytical descriptive. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be explained that the Covid-19 vaccine, besides having economic aspects, also has legal aspects that deserve attention. The economic aspect is that the Covid-19 vaccine is a necessity for everyone in the face of a pandemic, so that vaccines will become a sexy commodity that is definitely targeted and has high selling power. On the other hand, in supporting these commodities, it needs to be protected through a legal instrument known as protection of intellectual property rights, namely through a patent regime or trade secret. Choosing one of these has both advantages and disadvantages, so it needs to be considered carefully. The exclusivity of the Covid-19 vaccine in IPR is not something that can be exploited indefinitely, but the State can exist as a form of its responsibility through the application of compulsory licenses or disclosure of confidential information.

Berdasarkan hal tersebut berbagai upaya terus diupayakan strategi untuk menanggulangi penyebaran virus yang telah menelan korban jiwa relatif banyak. Antara lain upaya tersebut melalui kebijakan Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB), menjaga jarak (social distancing), termasuk upaya menemukan vaksinnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk menganalisis aspek hukum atas vaksin Covid-19 dan tanggung jawab Negara dalam pemenuhan vaksin Covid-19. Tipologi riset ini merupakan penelitian doktrinal dengan menggunakan bahan hukum primer maupun sekunder dengan menggunakan deskriptif analitis. Berdasarkan hasil analisis dapat dijelaskan bahwa vaksin Covid-19 di samping memiliki aspek ekonomi juga memiliki aspek hukum yang sangat patut diperhatikan. Aspek ekonomi bahwa vaksin Covid-19 sebagai kebutuhan semua orang dalam menghadapi pandemi, sehingga vaksin akan menjadi komoditi seksi yang sudah pasti diincar dan memiliki daya jual tinggi. Di sisi lain dalam menunjang komoditi tersebut perlu dilindungi melalui instrumen hukum yang dikenal dengan pelindungan hak kekayaan intelektual yakni melalui rezim paten atau pun rahasia dagang. Pemilihan salah satu tersebut masing-masing memiliki kelebihan maupun kelemahan, sehingga perlu dipertimbangkan secara matang. Eksklusivitas vaksin Covid-19 dalam HKI bukanlah sebuah hal yang dapat dieksploitasi tanpa batas, melainkan Negara dapat hadir sebagai bentuk tanggung jawabnya melalui penerapan lisensi wajib atau pengungkapan informasi yang bersifat rahasia.

RESUMEN: El sentido de lo social se ha enriquecido en nuestros días debido al carácter transnacional de las acciones globales. Ya no hablamos simplemente de derechos sociales que requieren la subsidiación del Estado con unos medios que no pertenecen a ningún individuo en particular; hablamos de derechos que reclaman la cooperación positiva de los Estados y la sociedad civil, más allá de las fronteras territoriales. Esto modifica el carácter de territorialidad del Estado y el sentido del compromiso de la sociedad civil.Este nuevo desafío tiene que asumir las consecuencias de entender la transnacionalidad y la glocalización como condiciones inherentes de los derechos de tercera generación y esto exige replantear los problemas en la sociedad civil desde una ética que asume la realidad del otro y está elaborada a partir de la singularidad de las situaciones y la universalidad de los valores.ABSTRACT: The meaning of «social» has been enriched nowadays due to the cross-cultural nature of global actions. We do not now simply refer to social rights under the State supervision with means that do not belong to any concrete individual. We talk about rights that require the positive co-operation of States and civil society, co-operation which surpass countries' boundaries. Indeed, this modifies the state belonging sense and the civil society's commitments.This new challenge has to be able to manage the consequences of seeing both cross-culturalism and glocalism as inherent conditions of the third generation rights, and all of that requires rethinking the problems within civil society from an ethic scheme that understands «the other» and that is also based on the singularity of each situation and the universalisation of (human) values.SOMMAIRE: Le sens de ce qui est social c'est enrichi dans nos jours, étant donné le caractère transnational des actions globales. Nous ne parlons pas simplement de droits sociaux qui requièrent l'allocation de l'État avec des moyens qui n'appartiennent à aucun individu en particulier; nous parlons de droits qui réclament la coopération positive des États et de la société civile, au-delà des frontières territoriales. Ceci modifie le caractère de territorialité de l'État et le sens du compromis de la société civile.Ce nouveau défi doit assumer les conséquences de comprendre la transnationalité et la glocalisation comme conditions inhérentes des droits de troisième génération et ceci exige de remettre en question les problèmes dans la société civile depuis une éthique qui assume la réalité de l'autre et est élaborée à partir de la singularité des situations et l'universalité des valeurs.

Number Of Citations

The figure plots the number of articles that have attempted to “bring” something “back in” in the social sciences by publication year and number of citations. Andrew Abbott, taking a (pessimistic) sociology of knowledge perspective, identified this tendency—beginning with Homans’s classic article “Bringing Men Back in”—as emblematic of the tendency to rediscover old ideas in sociology. The plot shows that “bring-backs” did not become a common yearly occurrence until the mid to late 1990s but are now relatively frequent. The most successful bring-backs have been relatively abstract things such as the “state” and “society” and more recently, “culture,” “knowledge,” and “values.”

The French Revolution

The origins of westernized theatre in Turkey lie in the Tanzimat reform movement, which was in turn inspired by the impact of the French Revolution. The institutionalization of this late encounter was made possible by the foundation of municipal theatres (1914) and of state theatres (1949). The municipal theatres have been most influential, and have had more flexible characteristics as they have been minutely connected with tradition. The state theatres, on the other hand, have been on a mission to educate audiences through their large-scale productions, which the private-enterprise theatres would not possibly dare to produce. They have also been tightly connected with Western-style theatre in their repertoire, and in their understanding of dramaturgy and directing in their productions. Today it is still debatable whether these enormous institutional theatres function effectively or not. The fact that the municipal and state theatres are consistently offering the cheapest tickets and yet not managing to keep a loyal group of audiences is one of the reasons why nearly two hundred plays at independent theatres debut in Istanbul every year. There have been attempts to overcome problems of quality inherent in the structure of these theatres by other theatre groups in premises where more elaborate productions of plays from the mainstream have been performed.

The 19Th Century

After the breakup of Yugoslavia and the “abduction” of Yugoslav name by the regime of Slobodan Milošević, it seemed that Yugoslavism is a concept solely belonging to the past. Yugoslavism lost its national-integrational role it used to have in the 19th century, as well as its privileged status of the state ideology, which it used to enjoy in both incarnations of Yugoslavia. However, at the dawn of 21st century several Croatian intellectuals – with historian and publicist Dragan Markovina at the forefront – strive to reconceive Yugoslavism. The aim of the paper is to present and contextualize their deliberations on Yugoslavism as a subversive strategy and a value alternative to the dominant cultural model in Croatia and the other countries of the former Yugoslavia.

The following paper analyses the status of identity, queer, and labor in relation to re-/production, as shown in the recently published book by Angela Mitropoulos, entitled Contract and Contagion. From Biopolitics to Oikonomia (2012). The aim of this paper is to suggest that oikonomia, as elaborated by Mitropoulos, is a biopolitical heterosexual oikonomia, where we should emphasize its necropolitical intensification that reaches beyond the border of the biopolitical, meaning that it literally breeds death (necro), or in other words, the state reproduces itself by extracting the surplus value from death and war machines. The above transformation will be – in reference to the formulation of Marina Gržinić – called “necropolitical intensification of biopolitics” – while at the same time pointing also to two triads of reproduction of capital/sex/labor and race that are the one of necessity/contingency/value and the other of debt/risk/law of value. My intention is to show how the sexual reproduction is incorporated into the capitalist system through the maximization of the theory of value.

This paper addresses the question of environmental change in Amazônia, by looking at the experiences of the large-scale biosphere–atmosphere (LBA) experiment in the Amazon, and three other enterprises—the extractive reserves, the Pilot Programme to Conserve the Brazilian Rain Forest (PPG7) and ecological-economic zoning—that address questions of sustainable development in the region. The LBA experience shows how the integration with the social sciences can be critical for science to explore its own outcomes for society, while the other programmes expose environmental change as a problem with too many intersections within society, so the outcomes of any initiative depends on placing it before a complex, tense and wide arena.
