Актуальность рассматриваемой проблемы обусловлена необходимостью междисциплинарного осмысления набирающего популярность среди российской аудитории феномена - мизандрии и мизогинии, наиболее заметно представленного в виртуальном пространстве. Авторами было проведено эмпирическое исследование с использованием методов глубинного интервью и включенного наблюдения в сообществах радикальной гендерной направленности, которые брендированны как «Радфем» [1], «ФемКызлар» [2], «Мужское государство» [3], артикулирующих радикальные социокультурные и социально-политические концепты. Исследование проводилось с 2020 года по август 2021 года. На основании проведенного анализа, авторы приходят к выводу, что гендерный конфликт становится одним из наиболее распространенных видов виртуальной социальной агрессии. Его содержательная «повседневность» и эксплицитная коммуникативная форма, позволяют использовать данный вид социального конфликта как рамочную конструкцию для создания деструктивных идеологем, формирующих в количественно значимых демографических группах атмосферу неприятия и ксенофобии с целью повышения уровня социальной аномии в обществе, дискредитации традиционных культурных норм, нанесения морального и психологического урона различным социокультурным группам и их отдельным представителям. Данные особенности гендерного конфликта ставят перед научным сообществом серьезные исследовательские и практические задачи. The relevance of this problem is due to the need for an interdisciplinary understanding of the phenomenon of misandry and misogyny in the virtual space. The authors conducted their own empirical research using the methods of in-depth interviews and included observation in communities of radical gender orientation, which are branded as " Radfem" [1], "FemKyzlar" [2], "Men's State" [3], speaking with ultra-radical socio-political slogans. The study was conducted from 2020 to July 2021. Based on the analysis, the authors come to the conclusion that gender conflict is becoming one of the most common types of virtual aggression. Its meaningful "everyday life" and explicit communicative form allow us to use this type of social conflict as a framework for creating destructive ideologies, the formation of aggression and xenophobia in order to increase the level of social anomie in society, discredit traditional cultural norms, cause physical or moral and psychological damage to various social groups or individuals. These features of the gender conflict pose serious research and practical tasks for the scientific communities.

This research illustrates the practice of inheritance in the Banjar community of South Kalimantan. The aim is to see the extent to which the provisions of Islamic inheritance law (farāidh) are applied by the member of society in everyday life. This phenomenon is revealed through several field research methods, especially in-depth interviews, the results of which are then analyzed to obtain conclusions. This study found the fact that although in general, the majority of Banjar people of South Kalimantan resolved their inheritance cases by farāidh (Islamic inheritance law), there was a tendency for some citizens to put forward the spirit of "Badamai (Keeping Peace)" to bring up ways of resolving inheritance cases that seemed varied and unique. In such a model, the formulation of the inheritance distribution specified in the farāidh is not fully implemented but is modified through the hibah wasiat (testamentary grant) method. In the case of ashābah bi al-ghair (heirs of a different gender), the pattern of division of "two to one" is not carried out by the mushi (testator)  because of certain reasons/considerations related to the real condition of the heirs (economic level, marital status, age, etc).

Beyond the famous Porte de Saint-Denis, there is a “multiethnic” world, the Turks, the Kurds, the Arabs, the Indians, the Pakistanis cohabit and run their business in the same economic area. Despite the multi ethnical image, that district has a common reputation: “quartier turc”. In this purpose, this paper aims to present the presence of various social groups at the 10th arrondissement of Paris, particularly those who come from Turkey. The restaurants, the barbershops, the halal butcher shops or the grocery stores, placed side by side, show the diversity of the multiple forms of their economic integration. Turkish origin individuals who live and work at the 10th district, have different backgrounds, stories and reasons to settle down in Paris. In the light of this, we argue three types of migration from Turkey: first, work migration during the late 60’s; second, political refugees due to political context in the 80’s; and third cultural radiance (rayonnement culturel), as a new model, which encourages the educational and cultural mobilization of high skilled individuals. Each type of migration is related to the different models of the French migration policies. In this respect, we think that the field research based on the in-depth interviews will help us to discover their “migrant” universe. Focusing on a specific neighbor, known as “quartier turc”, this study attempts to analyze the migration stories, and the social, economic and political integration of those Turkish origin social groups at the 10th arrondissement of Paris.

Intensive manual labor enterprises in the developed world face challenges competing with products imported from countries where manufacturing costs are low. This reduces the volume of domestic production and leads to rapid loss of knowledge and experience in production processes. This study focuses on the Israeli footwear industry as a case study. Qualitative methodologies were applied, including in-depth interviews and field observations. A literature review on previous research, and contemporary trends was conducted. The field research examines challenges along the value chain in small factories. It finds that mass production paradigms impose a decentralized process between designers and manufacturers and therefore do not leverage local potential into a sustainable competitive advantage for small factories. The proposed solution is a digital and technological platform for small manufacturing plants. The platform mediates and designs the connections between production, technology, and design and enables the creation of a joint R&D system.

AbstractThis article explores the repercussions of the demographic changes currently taking place in Buryatia. In particular, it concerns the mass migration of young rural Buryats to Ulan-Ude, in search of a higher education and, eventually, better career prospects. In-depth interviews with a sample of Buryat university students are used to reveal the challenges rural incomers face in adapting to urban life, and the differing strategies they use to overcome them. As these interviews show, the success of a rural Buryat's university career depends on their capacity to change their behaviour and aspirations to fit urban cultural norms.

This paper is a contribution to the debate about how people in Central Asia recall Soviet ethnic policies and their vision of how these policies have shaped the identities of their peers and contemporaries. In order to do so, this paper utilizes the outcomes of in-depth interviews about everyday Soviet life in Uzbekistan conducted with 75 senior citizens between 2006 and 2009. These narratives demonstrate that people do not explain Soviet ethnic policies simply through the “modernization” or “victimization” dichotomy but place their experiences in between these discourses. Their recollections also highlight the pragmatic flexibility of the public's adaptive strategies to Soviet ethnic policies. This paper also argues that Soviet ethnic policy produced complicated hybrid units of identities and multiple social strata. Among those who succeeded in adapting to the Soviet realities, a new group emerged, known asRussi assimilados(Russian-speaking Sovietophiles). However, in everyday life, relations between theassimiladosand their “indigenous” or “nativist” countrymen are reported to have been complicated, with clear divisions between these two groups and separate social spaces of their own for each of these strata.


This article advocates a new agenda for (media) tourism research that links questions of tourist experiences to the role and meaning of imagination in everyday life. Based on a small-scale, qualitative study among a group of seventeen respondents of diverse ages and backgrounds currently residing in the Netherlands, we offer an empirical exploration of the places that are of importance for people’s individual state of mind and investigate how these places relate to (potential) tourist experiences. The combination of in-depth interviews and random-cue self-reporting resulted in the following findings: 1) all our respondents regularly reside in an elaborate imaginary world, consisting of both fictional and non-fictional places; 2) this imaginary world is dominated by places which make the respondents feel nostalgic; 3) in this regard, the private home and houses from childhood are pivotal; 4) the ‘home’ is seen as topos of the self and contrasted with ‘away’; 5) the imagination of ‘away’ emerges from memories of previous tourist experiences, personal fantasies and, last but not least, influences from popular culture. We conclude that imagining and visiting other locations are part of a life-long project of ‘identity work’ in which personal identities are performed, confirmed and extended. By travelling, either physically or mentally, individuals anchor their identity - the entirety of ideas about who they are, where they come from and where they think they belong - in a broader, spatial framework.

AbstractThis article addresses child protection in close-knit religious communities. Specifically, it presents the findings of a qualitative research project that examined Ultra-Orthodox Jewish parents’ perceptions and ascribed meanings of child risk and protection based on fifty in-depth interviews with parents from Israel and the USA. Here, we hone in on one key theme that emerged from our analysis of the interviews, which the interviewees themselves referred to as ‘spiritual risk’. ‘Spiritual risk’ is a complex construct comprising the following three interrelated dimensions: (i) a decline in observance of the Torah and the commandments, (ii) violation of socio-cultural norms and rules and (iii) a decline in spiritual beliefs, including the sense of connection with G-d. In the eyes of parents, it is decline in these three dimensions that constitutes the ‘spiritual risk’ to the child. ‘Spiritual risk’ can be a consequence of parental maltreatment and can result in children and adolescents moving away from the Ultra-Orthodox religious world and leaving their community. The results of this study advocate context-informed and religious-sensitive prevention and intervention programmes. They also highlight the need to include context and religious competency in the training of professionals working with diverse communities.
