The New Testament

This chapter briefly summarizes the book and its implications for interpreters of the New Testament. The book has argued that conventional virtues like modesty, industry, and loyalty did not negate women’s capacities to own property and act as patrons. Social norms were multiple and complex, and could be applied in different ways depending on the circumstances. Thus, social practices of the period made room for women to exert influence and become leaders and officeholders in their communities. A “modest” woman might be an acknowledged and widely sought leader of her city. This understanding of the cultural context may yield new interpretations of familiar New Testament material. The historical background does not force one single interpretation of any text; readers still face many exegetical decisions. However, the chapter identifies some of the broad implications of the study for New Testament interpretation.

This qualitative research is focused on understanding the literacy practices of children and their mothers in a social and cultural context of the state of San Luis Potosí, central Mexico. I will address the results of field work analysis based on the historical cultural approach. I will show how a mother’s participation in literacy practices with a group of elementary school first graders detonated their process of empowerment and generated new social practices that arose from the actors in the educational community, through symmetrical relationships between children, mothers and teachers. The main results addressed are the acceptance of a mother’s participation in literacy practices in her context; intercultural relations identified in social practices through orality, reading, and writing, with reflection on the social and cultural context of their reality and with the performance of a play; and finally, the generation of new social practices in the classroom and in the context.

Chapter 2 places the Rohingyas in the historical, political, and cultural context of Burma/Myanmar. Who they are, where did they come from, and how did they appear in the demographic composition of Burma, now Myanmar; and the human geography of Arakan or what is now called the Rakhine State. It brings in the historical trajectory of Muslim settlements in this region dating back to the eighth century when Arab traders first anchored in the northern Arakan state and settled down there. Among other things, it also critically engages in the debate on whether the emergence of Muslims in Arakan laid down the foundation of Rohingya ethnicity or whether becoming Rohingya was tied to their distinctive social practices, cultural heritage, and continuity of a particular ethnicity. Towards this objective, this chapter explores the historical chronology of different political upheavals that have gradually pushed them to the margin of the state.

Paper dwells upon the theoretical and methodological foundations of leadership, considering key approaches and archetypal theories in modern value changes. The author notes the basis of the classical typology of leadership by M. Weber as manifestations of prereflective, emotional and rationalized trust in the leader. The typological foundations of archetypal leadership patterns based on dominant charisma, context and basic needs are identified. The possibilities of applying the basic ideas of the sociology of the depths of G. Durand in modern concepts of leadership are revealed, drawing attention to the problems of interpreting gender archetypes and their synergistic effects as stabilizing attractors. The main provisions of the philosophy of G. Durand are investigated, emphasizing the possibility of overcoming the logocentric worldview prevailing in Western culture and opening the horizons of visualizing living semantic complexes of archetypes and myths. These categories are proposed to be considered as the primary cognitive and emotional assets of leadership to substantiate the sources of the innovative and self-realization potential of modern leaders. The article analyses the peculiarities of applying mythoanalysis in political leadership, which is undergoing modifications under the diurnal and nocturne regimes in heroic, dramatic and mystical narratives. Paper investigates the features of the mythocritical and mythoanalytic method of G. Durand. It is noted that mythoanalysis expands the mythological narrative to the socio-cultural context of an epoch, country, period, universal social practices, building an ideal myth-model even outside of historical time in the eternal return of myth. The conceptual reformatting of the archetypes of gender leadership discourse in the communicative foundations of moral influence is considered. The communicative aspects of leadership in masculine and feminine motives of hunting and caring archetypes are determined.

Method Analysis

Статья посвящена анализу феномена педагогического волонтерства в историческом опыте и современном социокультурном контексте. Целью является изучение исторического развития практик и направлений педагогического волонтерства. Исследование обусловлено наличием трех противоречий, которые характерны для педагогического волонтерства: популярность и недостаточная изученность, большие возможности и отсутствие научно выверенных методов реализации, историческая преемственность и новизна. Основные методы исследования: теоретический и сопоставительный анализ, исторический метод, анализ публицистических материалов. C опорой на теоретические исследования и практические материалы было отслежено историческое развитие педагогического волонтерства, раскрыты его отличительные особенности от других видов социальных практик. Эти особенности иллюстрируют три критерия: волонтерский, педагогический, институциональный. На основе критериев делается вывод, что первые волонтерские педагогические практики получили распространение в деятельности движения «Сетлемент» в США. В статье дан обзор пяти основных направлений педагогического волонтерства в отечественном и зарубежном опыте: наставничество, репетиторство, духовно-просветительское направление, образовательное волонтерство, социально-развивающая деятельность с детьми, оказавшимися в трудной жизненной ситуации. Также были уточнены и обоснованы для использования понятия «педагогическое волонтерство», «волонтер-педагог». The article analyzes the phenomenon of educational volunteerism against the historical background and in the modern socio-cultural context. The aim of the article is to analyze the evolution of various practices and trends of educational volunteerism. The research focuses on three contradictions characteristic of educational volunteering: popularity vs. insufficient investigation, great opportunities vs. lack of developed implementation methodology, deep historical roots vs. novelty. The article employs the following methods of research: theoretical and comparative analysis, historical method, analysis of publicistic materials. The analysis of theoretical research and practical materials enables the author of the article to trace the historical development of educational volunteerism, to investigate its peculiar features that make it different form other social practices. These peculiarities illustrate three criteria: volunteering, educational and institutional. Relying on the criteria, the author concludes that the first practices of educational volunteerism were employed by the adherents of the Settlement movement in the USA. The article analyzes five major trends of pedagogical volunteerism in Russia and abroad: mentoring, guidance, tutorship, spiritual enlightenment, socio-educational support for children in difficult life situations. The article also substantiates such notions as educational volunteerism and teaching volunteers.

Purpose Drawing upon the theoretical framework of the service-dominant (S-D) logic, value co-creation and social practices, this paper aims to investigate how value is co-created among guests, hosts and the wider local community in the sharing economy context of Airbnb. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative enquiry through an online content analysis was applied to thematically analyse Airbnb online guest reviews to explore the value-co-creation practices in local tourist experiences in Jamaica. Findings Based on Airbnb guest and host engagements, a theoretical framework emerges, depicting integrated operant and operand resources, host–guest value co-creation practices embedded in the destination’s authentic culture and specific value outcomes. Research limitations/implications Being grounded in the geographical and cultural context of Airbnbs in Jamaica, the findings are transferable to similar platforms of the sharing economy, tourism contexts and destinations. Practical implications Critical implications unfold for Airbnb accommodation providers, destination stakeholders and policymakers by revealing a specific set of nuanced social practices that need to occur for local authentic experiences and value to be co-created among guests, hosts and the wider local community. Originality/value The paper makes an original contribution to knowledge by being one of the first studies to apply a S-D logic lens to the Airbnb sharing economy. It breaks down resource integration, host – guest value co-creation practices and value outcomes that occur for experiences and value to emerge in an Airbnb hospitality context.

Historical Past

Style in art history is often taken as a fragment or residue of a larger historical past and as such it plays a foundational role in the study of ancient societies. What actually causes style, however, remains vaguely theorized, if considered at all. This chapter reviews a range of theories that explore, to varying degrees, an explanation for style and then proposes an understanding of style as the product of human/social practices, drawing upon concepts such as Giddens’s structuration and Bourdieu’s habitus. It concludes by distinguishing the art historical method of stylistic analysis from that of stylistic interpretation, arguing that stylistic analysis can serve as a universal disciplinary approach, while at the same time acknowledging that what style meant to past viewers/users varied according to specific cultural context and thus must be interpreted from within this context. Because of its social contingency, style is therefore a potent fragment of past practices that survives for our analytic assessment/interpretation. This conclusion is explored through a case study of early Iron Age art from the Levant and Assyria.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Key Players

A series of six papers on “Youth Development in Europe: Transitions and Identities” has now been published in the European Psychologist throughout 2008 and 2009. The papers aim to make a conceptual contribution to the increasingly important area of productive youth development by focusing on variations and changes in the transition to adulthood and emerging identities. The papers address different aspects of an integrative framework for the study of reciprocal multiple person-environment interactions shaping the pathways to adulthood in the contexts of the family, the school, and social relationships with peers and significant others. Interactions between these key players are shaped by their embeddedness in varied neighborhoods and communities, institutional regulations, and social policies, which in turn are influenced by the wider sociohistorical and cultural context. Young people are active agents, and their development is shaped through reciprocal interactions with these contexts; thus, the developing individual both influences and is influenced by those contexts. Relationship quality and engagement in interactions appears to be a fruitful avenue for a better understanding of how young people adjust to and tackle development to productive adulthood.
