Introduction: Problems of stability of constitutional order have both theoretical and practical dimensions and touch all states. In the article, constitutional stability in the context of social changes is discussed. Methods: Doing the analysis, the authors use special methodology of legal research. In particular, a comparative-law is broadly applied as well as case studies. Analysis: In the first part of the article the authors discuss recent developments in the Russian constitutional legislation concerning electoral systems and informational technologies. In particular, the «Yarovaya Act» is criticized. In the authors’ opinion, legislation that does not meet social demands undermines constitutional stability. Frequent amendments of the Constitution and constitutional legislation (especially electoral one) do not contribute to constitutional stability as well. In the second part the authors analyze constitutional stability through the prism of inter-ethnic relations. They discuss some cases from Indian, Nigerian and Ethiopian experience. Results: The authors make a conclusion that stable constitutional order does not mean inflexible order. There should be a balance between social changes and maintenance of basic values and institutions. The constitutional order should be rigid enough for social changes not to be able to undermine the constitutional basis and trust of citizens to values, aims and principles proclaimed by the main law of the country.

Contemporary African Art

This analysis of the context of the globalization of the contemporary art scene is based on the concept of the cooperative network of the art worlds, as defined by the American sociologist Howard Becker, applied to the exhibition's sociological character. It is approached as a sociocultural event furthering the establishment of a cooperative network among artists, commissioners, critics and theoreticians who acknowledge in the exhibited works a certain number of values and ideas about art which they share to various degrees. Case studies from the corpus of contemporary African-art exhibitions that have been labelled as contemporary African art on the international stage serve as illustrations for this analysis.

AbstractThis article reviews recent developments in scholarship on gastronationalism, or more broadly, food and nationalism. It finds while the concept of gastronationalism per se has not been rigorously developed, scholarship of food and nationalism in general has been developing fast. A major development in the study of gastronationalism is the introduction of the everyday nationhood/banal nationalism perspective, which in turn diverts the focus away from the state’s intervention, a point emphasized by Michaela DeSoucey. The review of the field suggests that a renewed focus on the role of food in the interaction between state actors and international organizations would further refine the concept of gastronationalism. As for the study of food and nationalism, efforts to integrate findings from existing case studies to produce an overall understanding of society are needed.

This book examines film history with the goal of reframing it to accommodate new approaches to women's filmmaking. It brings together a wide range of case studies investigating women's work in cinema across its histories as they play out in different parts of the world from the pioneering days of silent cinema through recent developments in HD transmissions of live opera. It also tackles a range of conceptual and methodological questions about how to research women's film history—how, for example, to reconceptualize film history in order to locate the impact of women in that history. Furthermore, the book looks at the debates over relations among gender, aesthetics, and feminism. In this introduction, a number of interrelated themes and issues that can be grouped into four broad problematics are discussed: evidence and interpretation; feminist expectations of both contemporary and past women's filmmaking; the impact of women's film history on existing historical narratives and theories; and factors that determine the visibility of women's films and build audiences for them.

Postclassical Narratology

Summarising recent developments in postclassical narratology and imagology, the article traces affinities between the two disciplines in order to observe the challenges that await the researchers of image and narrative in what Baudrillard called the simulation culture. Two case studies presented in the article (one devoted to Instagram visual narratives, the other – to a YouTube advertising campaign) illustrate challenges for the study of eventfulness, narrativity, and fictionality, and suggest - in line with the postulates of Mark C. Taylor and Esa Saarinen – that a radical change of educational and communicative practices is needed in contemporary Western societies. A change of this sort, it is postulated, might be instigated by the collaboration of researchers in visual studies and narrative theory.
