The Relationship

“The Sea and the Kingfisher” (French: La Mer et le martin-pêcheur) is a special novel written by Bui Ngoc Tan. This work is not only the pride of contemporary Vietnamese literature in general and Hai Phong literature in particular when it won the Henri Queffenlec Award in France in 2012; but also the stamp of the author's journey "resurrection of the dead", after more than 5 years of imprisonment and 20 years of torture of reading and writing. Because of his special circumstances, social change is always reflected in Bui Ngoc Tan’s work. “The Sea and the Kingfisher” is the same as a little cosmos, a panoramic discourse reflecting all of the love and sorrow of a generation having to face so many incidents and ideological conflicts. Above all of the limited literature, “The Sea and the Kingfisher” is a worthy writing. This is seen as a realistic novel, straight and steady, which exposes a world that is still deep in darkness, beneath the golden and glamorous slogan. There are honest people buried deep in the bottom, crumpled and writhed, silently alive, and silently dead. "Belles-lettres" of Bui Ngoc Tan, is a chord of many "words" that were invoked from thousands and thousands of lives of anonymity in the same era. It is both pristine, bitter, and a sigh of pain, laden with deep thoughts. It's also the crystallization of the love of life and faith, thus the aspiration of social transformation. Using the sociocriticism, the writer focuses on researching the relationship between life and the working life of Bui Ngoc Tan through his works. And then, we will reach a deeper understanding of the value of Bui Ngoc Tan's literary heritage, the morality or the self-consciousness of the writer's social role, and the aspirations to improve society by literature that he cherished all life.

Peace Study

The present analysis focuses on the personal narratives of peace activists, the facilitators of reconciliation-aimed dialogues between two ethno-national groups in a situation of asymmetrical conflict: Jews and Palestinians. It puts forward the idea that these peace activists bring a wealth of knowledge from their personal and professional narratives to bear on their strategies and practices of social transformation. We posit that foregrounding this knowledge through the analysis of these narratives not only affords a better understanding of their theoretical perspectives, their practices, aims and goals of social change but also can greatly contribute to our better understanding of peace education processes in general and in particular to a consideration of the ways peace activists experience and creatively deal with the dilemmas and challenges they confront in their transformational work.

Governance Process

In light of the increasing number of corporate frauds worldwide, there is a growing emphasis on corporate governance. These corporate misappropriations not only destroy shareholder value but also act as a detriment to economic growth and social change. Therefore, investors look for companies with better corporate governance to maximize their returns. Still, this aspect of corporate governance has been largely neglected in the existing studies. This chapter is therefore an attempt to address corporate governance and its effect on business performance in the context of economic growth and social transformation at the global level. It goes inside the black box of the financial matrix. The central issue that emerges is the criticality of key parameters in the corporate governance process for organisational performance. It is hoped that it will provide a new dimension to the existing body of corporate governance for global development with policy implications for the required growth and social change.

Keeping momentum and ultimately reaching sustainability is one of the challenges faced by practitioners and scholars in the field of social transformation. Sustaining the change accomplished is a critical factor in enacting social transformation; this chapter addresses this matter. For social change to be sustained there needs to be a combination of approaches from capacity building in the actors involved to institutional and structural support. This can be achieved by developing support networks that mutually share the attributes needed for continued success. In this chapter, the authors explore how building and mapping out networks from the lens of sustainability is pivotal, and how this contributes to growing their effectiveness. Moreover, building and further developing what Dr. Fisher-Yoshida calls communities of practice, is part of the approach they suggest as they engage with social transformation processes that can be sustained both in space and in time.

And Control

The chapter examines Gandhi’s mature conceptions of decolonization and social change, which he developed alongside his interpretation of Tolstoy and Tolstoy’s understanding of colonialism. Gandhi seems to have expected social transformation to come immediately, as a kind of miracle of consciousness, yet he also imagined change as an indefinitely protracted process, dominated by delay and reversion, as a counter to the clarity and swiftness of revolutionary upheaval. He was particularly concerned with conversion of the adversary and control of the self as the motors of social change. The chapter considers the arguments of Hind Swaraj and the ways in which Gandhi referred to the example of South Africa even when in India, as well as the extent to which questions posed by Tolstoy in the ‘Letter to a Hindoo’ shaped Gandhi’s thinking.

Social Domination

The present article departs from concepts and ideas thoroughly developed by Herbert Marcuse. As such, it deals with his approach concerning the possibility of social transformation, looking to problematize the obstacles and hardships associated to the ongoing forms of social domination. To take this through, central works such as Eros and civilization and One-dimensional man are taken up, along with a number of lesser known texts and posthumously published reflections. Asserting the influence of Hegel, Marx and Freud, it is considered possible to criticize some of the existing contradictions that mark capitalist relations, interpreting them dialectically and immanently to unveil the potentials for social change through democratic attunement.

Abstract Assisting people to live well with a chronic physical or mental health condition requires the creation of intersectoral community-based supports for chronic condition self-management. One important but underutilized resource for supporting chronic condition self-management in the community is recreation, which refers to relatively self-determined and enjoyable physical, social or expressive everyday activities. The Expanded Chronic Care Model (ECCM) provides a framework for identifying systems-level strategies to support self-management through increased access to community recreation opportunities. In this article, an occupation-based social transformation approach, which involves examining assumptions, considering contexts of daily activities and partnering to create meaningful social change, is used to examine the ECCM. Recommendations related to strengthening social change with a specific focus on collaborations and networks through recreation are provided. Through such collaborations, self-management of chronic conditions in community recreation contexts is advanced. Health providers and community-based recreation services providers are invited to be part of these intersectoral changes that will promote health amongst those living with chronic conditions.

The Relationship

This article examines the relationship between the semantics of ideology and political practice under the pressure of socio-economic change in Hungary of the early 1960s, especially 1962-63. The events of 1956 forced the Communist Party elite to recognize the imperative need for internal social change and for control over its dynamics. Manipulation of social forces and ideological currents became a day-to-day concern as soon as it was realized that the political system must rely to an increasing extent upon the introduction of policies which induced support for the system itself—a need undoubtedly arising out of the social transformation that accompanies a developing and modernizing industrial society.
