The study is relevant because in the conditions of the civil identity formation of Russian people, it is productive to take into account the genesis of the ethno-national experience of competing narratives, in which the culture of relations between the peo-ples of our country has developed. Referring to the analysis of social community it seems appropriate to use two terms: ethnos and nationality. In the dis-course about ethnos, it is advisable to focus on the cultural-philosophical analysis of its formation and development. The purpose of the study is to sub-stantiate the thesis that the subject's thinking corre-sponds to communications characteristic of a par-ticular historical era and culture. The study reveals the systemic nature of thinking and communication. The authors substantiate the idea that the ethnocul-tural originality of the communicative continuum is conditioned by the specific historical context within which the formation and development of the ethnos takes place. In this interpretation, the proposition about the purely national nature of the psycho-mental nature of a social community loses its value, and the thesis according to which specific historical experience gained in a certain communicative con-tinuum plays the main role in the formation of ethnic originality.

Interpretive Framework

One of the striking themes in contemporary South Korean foreign policy is a strong emphasis on achieving seonjinguk (advanced nation) status in international affairs, as articulated in the slogan 'Global Korea'. Engaging with the discourse of globalization, the concept of seonjinguk has provided Korea with an interpretive framework for discussions of its national identity and global position. The historical experience of Korea as a hujinguk (backward country) underlies the emphasis accorded to the goal of becoming seonjinguk. The article argues that the discursive practice of Global Korea was not merely a point of departure in Korean foreign policy but was also the key site of Korean national identity construction. Through an exploration of the historical context and diplomatic practice of constructing Global Korea, it illustrates the continuity and authority of the discourse of seonjinguk in interpreting and constructing Korean national identity.

This chapter unites perspectives from history and sociology in excavating the lived experiences of everyday masculinities and violence that lie behind the persistent image of the Glasgow ‘hard man’, while also interrogating popular representations of the ‘hard city’. Drawing on oral history interviews with individuals involved in violent territorialism – specifically through street-based ‘gangs’ of young men – c. 1965-1975, it contrasts popular representations of the Glasgow ‘hard man’ with the lived experiences of those living and working in the city at that time. Focusing specifically on Easterhouse, it highlights the prominence of ‘the street’ in narrative accounts of masculine identity formation for young working-class men and links this to the specific social, cultural and economic composition of the locale. Overall, it argues that such ‘street’ masculinities should be understood in historical context, recognising the influence of local cultures of machismo on the persistence of forms of masculine identity.

The relevance of the article is due to the fact that the variety of research approaches and data obtained make it difficult to form a holistic picture of motherhood as a phenomenon of a woman’s inner world. Scientific ideas about motherhood present a necessary basis for the formation of the demographic policy of the state, for the strengthening of family values in society and for the education of young people. The purpose of the article is to analyze and summarize modern studies concerning various aspects of the subjective picture of motherhood, to identify its main components, to comparatively analyze the determinants of the formation of a picture of motherhood, to describe the diversity in the ideas of motherhood. As a result of the analysis of Russian and foreign studies, the similarities and differences in the interpretations of many aspects of motherhood and the conditionality of the subjective picture of motherhood by a number of socio-cultural factors are described. The leading factors of readiness for motherhood, connection with childhood experiences, social ideas about motherhood, cultural and historical context of family life are reviewed. The article describes the woman’s ideas about herself as a future mother, emphasizes the influence of relationships and emotional atmosphere in the parental family, the importance of identification with her own mother and her position in child-parent relationships. The peculiarities of accepting the role of the mother, the reasons for the deviations from the main role and conflicts of a woman as a result of the discrepancy between her behavior and the established (by society, others, family members, herself) role models are highlighted. Attention is payed to the results of empirical studies showing the possibility of harmonious coordination of a woman’s maternal self-realization with other forms of self-realization. It is concluded that cultural traditions, the dominant value orientations in society, ideas about personal success, career, well-being have a significant impact on the subjective picture of motherhood but interpersonal relationships in a close social environment are of predominant importance. The subjective picture of motherhood can be viewed as part of a woman’s attitude and worldview. It changes under the influence of life plans and circumstances, numerous external and internal factors.

The European Union

The European Union has launched its New European Neighbourhood Policy as a reaction to a ‘changing neighbourhood’. A key novelty in the New European Neighbourhood Policy is the special role attributed to gender equality promotion as an important ingredient of Europeanisation. The literature has so far focused on assessing whether and to what extent neighbourhood countries adopt and implement European Union gender equality norms. Bringing together the feminist and postcolonial literature on gender equality promotion and European identity formation, this article resituates the New European Neighbourhood Policy within the broader debate regarding processes of European identity formation and Europe’s relations with Others. We combine the concept of delineating gendered and racialised coding with the concept of contrapuntal reading to analyse key official European Union documents alongside the voices expressing themselves through new (social) media. This allows us to highlight silences and exclusions within New European Neighbourhood Policy narratives, to resituate these narratives in their historical context, and to render visible the diversity of competing and interrelated narratives related to gender equality promotion. We read the recent focus on gender equality promotion in the New European Neighbourhood Policy as an expression of the ambivalence of European Union identity building: at a moment when neighbouring countries move closer to Europe, either adopting the acquis communautaire or going through democratisation processes, they are placed at a spatial and temporal distance outside Europe. Our analysis highlights the persistence of colonial practices of Othering and hierarchical Self–Other definitions that are reproduced through current New European Neighbourhood Policy policies. Yet, we suggest that this moment might also present an opportunity to render visible and take seriously the co-constitutive relationship between the European Union and its Others, which could point to alternative forms of interaction and identity building.

Abstract Is minority a term applicable to groups in the Russian Empire, as an imperial formation? This article seeks to answer this question by engaging with two others: (1) Was there a term (or terms) that conveyed that idea? And, (2) Was there a historical experience among particular segments of that society with attributes that we may associate with “minorities”? The article proposes that, on the one hand, there can be no minorities unless a majority has itself come into being, and, on the other, that growing association of the state with the Russian people specifically, and the claim that other East Slavs were also Russian despite regional particularities, along with efforts to create a kind of citizenship through institutions that were inclusive of non-Russian peoples, began to constitute such a majority and minorities in Russia.

تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى مقاربة موضوع أهل الحل والعقد بالوقوف على سياقه التاريخي من حيث النشأة والمفهوم، وكشف أسسه المعرفية والتعاقدية، وكيف ظلَّت الأمةُ بتمثُّلها قاعدة الشورى المنظَّمة مصدرَ بناء المفهوم. وهو مفهوم  يُبرِز -من منظور التجربة التاريخية الإسلامية- أنَّ فكرة التمثيل والنيابة قد ظهرت مبكراً في الفعل الاجتماعي والسياسي الإسلامي. تهدف الدراسة أيضاً إلى البحث في علاقة مفهوم أهل الحل والعقد بما تطرحه نظرية النظم السياسية الحديثة، وإمكانية الإفادة منها في تجنُّب بعض عيوب نظام التمثيل الديمقراطي الحديث أو إصلاحها، باقتراح أنموذج مؤسسي يُعبِّر عن مضمون هذا المفهوم. This study aims to approach the traditional Islamic concept called  "Ahlu al-Hall wa al-A’qd" that may be considered today as members of the parliament by investigating the historical context in terms of origination, revealing its conceptual and contractual foundations and how the nation (Ummah) has been the source of building the concept through the systematic practice of consultancy (Shura). Besides, in the Islamic historical experience, this concept shows that the idea of representation and deputation have appeared early in the Islamic social and political action. Furthermore, the study examines the relationship of the concept of "Ahlu al-Hall wa al-A’qd" with the theory of modern political systems and explore the possibility of using it to avoid or reform some of the defects of the modern democratic representation system by proposing an organizational model that reflects the essence of this concept.

Do So

As leader of the Russian Federation, a state with both a large military stockpile and veto power in the United Nations, it is important to understand who Vladimir Putin is as a leader. In order to do so, we must first identify and understand the contexts of Putin's leadership. One of the ways in which we can do that is by looking at his rhetoric. This thesis looks specifically at the language and recurrence of ideas in Putin's New Year Addresses. Given the cultural significance of this holiday to the Russian people and the holiday's own significance to Putin's presidency, it is a useful genre for identifying philosophical and historical context within his speeches. This thesis not only identifies the foundational elements of this genre of speech, but it is able to identify the shifts in rhetoric and understand the context behind them.

In the ’50s and early ’60s the Italian Communist Party (ICP) was one of the main actors involved in informal and unconventional diplomacy between Italy and the People’s Republic of China (PRC). In the absence of diplomatic relations between the two countries, the presence in Italy of the largest Communist party in Western Europe undoubtedly acted as an important channel for unofficial Sino-Italian exchanges. This paper tries to trace the development of ICP-CCP relations focusing in particular on the Italian Communists’ views and analysis of the CCP’s historical experience. It also would like to show that ICP leaders generally viewed the CCP’s revolutionary in a positive way, an evaluation which largely stemmed from the ICP’s own national experience and its search for a more autonomous international role.
