Soviet Sociology

This article is an introduction to the description and analysis of the electronic correspondence of the author with I.S. Kon, held in 2005-2011. Kon belongs to a narrow group of sociologists who stood at the origins of Soviet sociology. For many years, Kon has successfully worked in different areas of sociology, at the same time he is a recognized expert in the history of Russian and Western sociology. All this: 1) makes Kon a unique expert in the field of studying the entire period of development of Russian sociology, and 2) determines the historical, sociological and methodological value of his letters. Let us pay attention to the fact that the study of the correspondence of sociologists is a poorly studied topic, but there is a tendency to increase attention to it. The total number of letters is about 200. The texts of 39 letters for 2005-2006 are given. The history of correspondence and its content is briefly considered.

This chapter reviews the history of green entrepreneurship, arguing that green entrepreneurship was shaped by four different temporal contexts between the mid-nineteenth century and the present day. Although there were significant achievements over the entire period, it was only in the most recent era that green business achieved legitimacy and scale. Green entrepreneurs often had religious and ideological motivations, but they were shaped by their institutional and temporal context. They created new markets and categories through selling their ideas and products, and by imagining the meaning of sustainability. They faced hard challenges, which encouraged clustering which provided proximity advantages and higher trust levels. Combining profits and sustainability has always been difficult, and the spread of corporate environmentalism in recent decades has not helped. Although commercial success often eluded pioneers, by a willingness to think outside of traditional boxes, they have opened up new ways of thinking about sustainability.

Thracian belongs to the group of languages spoken over the entire period of Antiquity in the areas of south-eastern Europe (mostly the Balkans) and which, like other vernaculars spoken in this and neighbouring areas, had died out by the end of the Roman period leaving but scanty evidence. This chapter provides an introduction into the state of our current knowledge about the Thracian language and epigraphy and the perspectives of research of this language. Since our comprehension and understanding of grammatical system of Thracian is limited, the current knowledge of the language makes any translation of attested inscriptions impossible. It is however expected that the progress in studying development and history of the Greek script may provide us with new and relevant data for interpretation of Thracian.

Abstract Inspired by the reflections on the concept of critique proposed by Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello, this article presents some elements for a sociology of critique of the Pacification Police Unit (Unidade de Polícia Pacificadora - UPPs) program. It offers a brief history of the project, typified in phases. We conduct a mapping and a temporal analysis of critiques made about the UPPs throughout the entire period of their existence from 2008 until today. This analysis is based on ethnographic research and interviews conducted by the authors between 2009 and 2015 in the first two "pacified" favelas in the city of Rio de Janeiro (Santa Marta and the Cidade de Deus), and on the analysis of news reports from the major and alternative media and of social networks.

This paper will examine the history of developments in the Soviet sociology of work, focusing particularly on research on attitudes toward work. The principal object of analysis will be the developments in empirical sociological research in the USSR since 1953, with an effort to explain the origins of the concepts recently circulating in soviet literature on work. It  is also important to include a brief discussion of the views of worker attitudes dominant during the stalin era, for these have had a strong impact on the subsequent work of soviet sociologists. An examination of the stakhanovite movement of the 1930s will be used to describe these attitudes.

The Church

Throughout the entire period of the Middle Ages, the settlement of Mangup was one of the most important ideological centres for the spread of Christianity in the south-western Crimea. From the creation of the independent Gothic bishopric on, it housed the residence and the cathedral church of the hierarchs of Crimean Gothia. This is evidenced by numerous churches and monasteries discovered by many-year-long excavations of the site (27 in total). This paper is the first in the scholarship attempt of systematization of all available information from the sources related to the Christian history of the castle of Mangup, written, epigraphic, archaeological, and so on. Particular attention has been paid to the results of modern excavations of the church archaeology monuments at the settlement in question, carried out systematically in 2012–2021. They formed the basis for the reconstruction of the main stages of church building and the most important periods in the history of the local Christian community. Generally, it covers a wide period from the mid-sixth century, when a big basilica featuring the nave and two aisles, the future cathedral of the Gothic bishopric (metropolia), was built at Mangup along with the large Byzantine castle, and finished in the early seventeenth century. The construction and functioning of most part of known churches and monasteries of the castle of Mangup dates to the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, when this site finally developed into a large mediaeval city, the capital of the principality of Theodoro in the south-western Crimea.

Robert Verbelen is in België hoofdzakelijk bekend in de context van de radicale collaboratie tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Als leider van het zogenaamde Veiligheidskorps trad de toenmalige SS’er gewelddadig op tegen acties van het verzet. Desalniettemin beschouwde Verbelen zichzelf in eerste instantie als een Vlaamse idealist en voorman. Dit artikel onderzoekt waarop dit (zelf)beeld is gebaseerd en of het correct is.In zijn jeugd engageerde Verbelen zich inderdaad in Vlaamsgezinde organisaties, zoals de Vlaamsche Voetbalbond. Vanaf het uitbreken van de Tweede Wereldoorlog tot aan zijn dood heeft Verbelen echter geen enkele concrete bijdrage meer geleverd aan de Vlaamse ontvoogdingsstrijd. Nadat hij een tiental jaar actief was als spion in Amerikaanse loondienst, verwierf Verbelen in 1959 de Oostenrijkse nationaliteit en in 1965 werd hij te Wenen wegens oorlogsmisdaden berecht. Verbelen werd vrijgesproken en hij woonde tot zijn dood in 1990 in de Oostenrijkse hoofdstad.Verbelen handhaafde al die tijd wel een virtuele band met Vlaanderen: hij onderschreef een legitimerende en gemythologiseerde Vlaams-nationalistische geschiedenis, die hij via interviews, spreekbeurten en geschriften tevens vorm gaf en in stand hield. Omdat Verbelen daarin zo ver ging, terwijl hij zich tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog dermate had gecompromitteerd, distantieerde zelfs de meest extreem Vlaams-nationalistische strekking binnen de Vlaamse beweging zich van hem.________Robert Verbelen’s place in the history of the Flemish movement. Robert Verbelen is mainly known in Belgium in the context of his radical collaboration during the Second World War. As the head of the so-called Security Corps, the then SS member, engaged in violent repression of actions of resistance.   However, Verbelen considered himself foremost a Flemish idealist and leader. This article investigates what this (self)image is based on and whether it is correct. In fact, during his youth, Verbelen was involved in Pro Flemish organisations like the Flemish Football League. However, from the outbreak of the Second World War until his death, Verbelen made no more concrete contributions to the Flemish battle for emancipation. After serving for around ten years as a spy employed by the Americans, Verbelen acquired the Austrian nationality in 1959; and in 1965, he was court-martialed in Vienna for war crimes. Verbelen was acquitted and until his death in 1990, he lived in the Austrian capital. During this entire period, Verbelen did in fact maintain a virtual link with Flanders: he endorsed a legitimising and mythologized Flemish National history, which he both shaped and preserved by means of interviews, lectures and writing. Because of Verbelen’s extreme views in these writings and the fact that he had seriously incriminated himself during the Second World War, even the most extreme Flemish-Nationalist tendencies within the Flemish movement distantiated themselves from him.

Linguistic Behavior

Linguistic nationalism was a decisive linguistic ideology all through the nineteenth century. Consequently, by its very nature, it determined thinking about language throughout the entire period, and thus, linguistic behavior, as well. Based on metalinguistic data, this paper attempts to reconstruct the form of existence of this linguistic ideology in Hungary in the period of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (1867–1918). The author’s aim is not to explore and contrast the various prominent and less prominent individual views of the period but rather to reconstruct and explain the general, collective system of ideas and values that underlies their apparent multiplicity and which is more or less constant throughout the period at hand. The paper hence wishes to contribute to a significant and neglected domain of historical sociolinguistics, the recognition of the history of linguistic awareness.

The Indian economy has undergone different structural shifting in its history of development since 1947. One major break was the liberalization of the economy in the period 1991-92 and the reforms in the banking and financial sectors deserved a special attention in the study. The banking sector reform was done under the intention to make more investible banking funds for real investment to raise credit-deposit ratio along with proper allocation of banking funds to all the states so that share of credit of each state is balanced. Literature shows the falling tendency of credit-deposit ratio in the immediate decade after the reform and the rising tendency of divergence in credit possession among the states. At the same time, the states lacking in credit-deposit ratio are either with higher, lower, or moderate shares of credits. This study, hence, tried to examine the direction of causalities between credit-deposit ratio and credit share for the major 16 states of India. Using the time series econometrics technique, this study found 4 states where the causality works for the entire period and less than half of the state where causality works in either pre-reform or post-reform periods.
