Artykuł traktuje o cudzoziemcach pragnących zostać profesjonalnymi tancerzami flamenco w Sewilli i o związanych z tym pragnieniem wyzwaniach tożsamościowych, przed jakimi stają. Obcokrajowcy stanowią zasadniczą większość w sewilskich szkołach tańca i to dzięki nim szkoły te mogą istnieć. Decydując się na dłuższy pobyt w Sewilli, wkraczają oni w transkulturowe pole wymiany, przez co zostają wpisani w relacje władzy – podporządkowania i dominacji. Ich sytuację oraz relacje zachodzące w sewilskiej przestrzeni bardzo dobrze opisują kategorie transkulturacji/transkulturowości oraz tożsamości transkulturowej. Cudzoziemcy pragnący zaistnieć w profesjonalnym świecie flamenco w Sewilli czy szerzej w Hiszpanii konstruują swoją tożsamość, negocjując poszczególne jej elementy. W tekście omówione zostały trzy z nich: ekspresja, ruch i ciało. Są czynnikami autodefiniującymi oraz elementami decydującymi o wykluczeniu i/lub „dyskryminacji” ze strony autochtonów i zagranicznych widzów. Foreigners in Flamenco Culture: the Problem of Identity Negotiation The research problem presented in this text is the negotiation of transcultural identity as exemplified by foreigners enrolled in flamenco dance schools in Seville who are or aspire to be professional flamenco dancers and compete on the Spanish labour market in the flamenco industry. Foreigners are a definite majority at Seville’s dance schools, whose existence depends on them. By deciding to spend a prolonged period of time in Seville, they enter a field of transcultural exchange and become involved in power relations of subordination and domination. Being a subordinate group, foreigners need to negotiate their place in the flamenco community on an ongoing basis. Their situation and relations developing in Seville are well-described through the categories of transculturation/transculturality and transcultural identity. Foreigners wishing to engage in the professional world of flamenco in Seville or, more broadly, in Spain, construct their identity by negotiating its individual elements. Three of them are discussed in the text: expression, movement and body. They are self-defining factors and elements that determine the exclusion and/or “discrimination” of indigenous people and foreign viewers.

This research focusses the interdiscursive analysis of political discourse to expose the hegemonic relations in the world politics. It is backgrounded in the issue of blasphemy that emerged after the release of the movie trailer The Innocence of Muslims. The researcher restricted the context of the study to the UN General Assembly meeting September 2012 where the issue was discussed in the presence of world political leaders. The data of the study contains the speech of the US president Barak Obama and is analyzed by using Fairclough’s (1992) concept of interdiscursivity and hegemony. The analysis is focused on the discourse of the dominant political actor to find out the power relations and hegemony as exposed through the interdiscursive references present in his discourse. The study concludes that the dominant political leader uses different discursive strategies to construct and sustain power relations and hegemony. Interdiscursivity helps him to construct powerful self-image and to marginalise the subordinate group by highlighting its negative aspects and suppressing its ideologies.

<p>In 1883, the volcano Krakatau erupted and collapsed, causing the deaths of tens of thousands. The eruption was one of the first disasters to take place beyond the Dutch boundaries that received so much attention in the Netherlands. Although the disaster appealed to the imagination, it barely led to the publication of fiction. Only in Dutch Indies youth literature can one find something about the Krakatau. In this article, four Dutch stories and novels are analysed: “Stories of the moon” by Nellie van Kol-Porreij, The hermit of Rakata or Krakatau on fire by Robert Michael Ballantyne, “Nine Months on Krakatau” by B.L. Kailola and Escaped from the jaws of death: The Krakatau tragedy by Rick Blekkink. These sources are analysed from a postcolonial perspective focusing on unequal power relations. Focal points are the representation of the Indies and the indigenous people of the colony. This article illustrates the continuities and shifts in the representations over de course of time (1886-2014). </p>

This article analyzes the life of young millennial Salafi-niqabi in Surakarta and their strategies in dealing with power relations in their everyday lives. Studies on Salafi in Indonesia have focused more on global Salafimovements, power politics, links with fundamentalist-radical movements, state security and criticism of Salafi religious doctrine. Although there are several studies that try to portray the daily life of this religious group, the majority of previous studies focused on formal institutions and male Salafi. Very few studies have addressed the lives of Salafi women. This is likely due to the difficulty of approaching this group because of their exclusivity, and their restrictions on interacting with the outside world.

E-learning has become a necessity for all elements of the communication process in today's world. Education, in all its many shapes and forms from dialogue to dialogic, is dependent upon that communication process. Manifestations of technology, including networks, devices and applications, contributed to the global spread of e-learning. The concept and application of continuing education at any time and place has emerged with individual differentiation and efficient performance gaining more momentum. The global labour market and modern technology has had a mutual effect as it has become necessary for people to acquire e-learning competencies to access the labor market with the required performance levels. Therefore, the related research problem addressed by this paper is articulated in this question: "To what extent do the students at Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University possess e-learning competencies to qualify them for the labour market?”This research reached results indicating, for instance, that the subjects’ possession of competencies in dealing with the computer was medium. However, the subjects’ possession of the skills necessary to deal with the Internet was high. Further, the subjects’ possession of e-learning culture was medium. The researcher recommended using a standardised set of e-learning skills in the development of IT educational courses and developing an educational training program for the students to enhance their competencies. It is also recommended that the students' pre-University programs need evaluation to determine the extent to which they cover the content that leads to these competencies.

In the short story titled "Kalabaka" which revolves around the colonial period, the problem of the colonizers and the colonized always involves the problem of the East-West dichotomy. This short story also concerns about power relations, identity, and space. Related to the power relations between the colonizers and the colonized, then, the role of the dominant and subalterns emerged. In this case, the dominant one is certainly the colonialist, and subalterns are the colonized indigenous people. These issues make this research choose to use Gayatri Spivak's view of subalternity and representation. Therefore, the research seeks to explain the subaltern position constructed by the structure of the short story and the role of representation as a form of the perpetuation of colonialism. In the short story "Kalabaka", subalternity is created because of the dominant position of the colonialist leader over the indigenous people. This Western perspective then always looks down on the East. This then led to the emergence of representations that tried to fill the position of Kalabaka figures and the Banda community by Dutch figures in the story.

Scholars have become increasingly interested in the political work of Internet memes. While this research has delivered critical insights into how memes are implicated in both progressive and reactionary politics, there endures a lack of critical work on the ways in which Indigenous people engage with memes to deconstruct colonial power relations and produce alternative political arrangements. This article offers a reading of a set of memes produced and published by Australian Aboriginal activist Facebook page Blackfulla Revolution. We consider the ways in which memes are entangled in the achievement of an anti-colonial politics. More specifically, drawing Deleuze and Guattari’s notion of assemblage, this article offers two levels of analysis. The first analysis focuses on the memes as a text that works to challenge the founding national myth of “peaceful” British settlement. Through the careful narrative of the memes, we see how the colonial assemblage works through “making missing” Indigenous people. And while the material practices and expressive justifications of Australian colonialism might have varied over time, the assemblage has ultimately not changed in nature. For the second analysis, we read the subsequent user engagement with the memes. The sequence of memes, from this second view, contributes “to the invention of a people,” as Deleuze has said. Those excluded from the colonial assemblage and those who recognize it as violence are called forth to engage in movement against it.

National Labour Market

Introduction: In the current circumstances, an efficient labour market is the main condition for increasing the country's competitiveness and ensuring the sustainable regional development of its territories. At the same time, owing to some unfavourable external environment and negative tendencies, the development of the domestic labour market remains unsatisfactory, and in some areas is even disastrous. In such conditions, it is necessary to formulate a concept of regulation aiming to overcome the crisis phenomena which hinder the development of the national labour market.Hypothesis of scientific research. Effective formation of the concept of the national labour market regulation in Ukraine has to implement the targeted and competency-based approaches.The aim of this study is to define the architectonics of the concept of the national labour market regulation.Research methods: theoretical analysis – to determine the state of disclosure of the research problem in the economical scientific literature, the study of normative and legal documents in the field of state regulation; comparison, classification, generalization – to define joint characteristics of objects on the basis of processing and interpretation of theoretical sources on the problem of regulation of the labor market.Results: This article presents the definition of "concept" and the purpose of its formation. It reveals the essence of the targeted and competency-based approaches to the formation of the concept of the national labour market state regulation.Conclusions: The harmonious combination of targeted and competency-based approaches is the key to effective developing of the concept of the national labour market state regulation. Within the framework of the targeted approach, it is expedient to use the principle of goal-setting, the implementation of which is the primary stage of the formulation of the main objective of the labour market regulation. Furthermore, effective implementation of the competence of a civil servant and the competencies of the state institutions provides a basis for the competency-based approach.

Fishing Rights

The articles in this edition of the International Journal of Critical Indigenous Studies engage collectively with how different epistemologies and cultural values inform power relations in different locations, situations and contemporary contexts. As a group, these articles demonstrate, over varying facets, how meaning, communicative intent and interpretive effect are constitutive of power relations between Indigenous people and non Indigenous people. Jackie Grey discusses the labour of belonging as played out in a dispute over Indigenous fishing rights in a small New England town of Aquinnah, located on Noepe Island the traditional lands of the Wampanoag in the United States of America. She reveals the ways in which the jurisdiction of non Indigenous belonging operates discursively and materially to preclude Indigenous rights and self determination. Grey's analysis highlights the incommensurability of Indigenous and non Indigenous belonging that are played out in power relations born of colonisation.

Strategic Plans

Organisations are more and more interested in ensuring flexibility of working time and space for their employees. This approach is enforced both by labour market volatility and company strategic plans, e.g. relocation. However, employers begin to realise that employees' flexibility is limited. While the reasons behind it might be objective (lack of legal regulations, commuting expenses), in some cases it is the employees' personal views that stand in the way. In such situation the company is much more limited in its attempts to offer a greater flexibility to its workforce. The research problem that arises here is as follows: is it possible to define the characteristics and situations in which employees are willing to accept flexible conditions of working time and space? Therefore, the aim of the study is to indicate how to increase work flexibility on the side of employees. The study focuses on four areas, i.e. changing the place of residence due to work, frequent business trips, long commuting and flexible work arrangements.
