The emergence of inclusive populist parties disputes the social construction of the ‘people’ to the exclusive populism, recently generating new academic debates. Do the new radical left parties have a nationalist character? Are populism and nationalism two inseparable dimensions? Drawing on an original dataset in Spain, this article shows that Podemos’ supporters are significantly less nationalist, expressing more open attitudes towards cultural diversity and immigration, and lower levels of Spanishness than voters from other parties. Arguably, Podemos operates as an antagonistic political option to the traditional positions of the populist radical right (PRR), building an inclusive imagined community around a type of constitutional patriotism or republican populism. These findings contribute to the scholar debate on the relationship of nationalism and populism, bringing to discussion the core values of the supporters of a populist party as a complementary element to its categorization.

Self-esteem is central to personal education. The social environment directly affects the formation of self-esteem. While functioning, it affects human behavior, self-regulation and is influenced by the values of the individual. Self-esteem is a complex education that includes both intellectual and emotional components. Many experts believe that self-esteem is not only a person's assessment of himself, but also his place among the people around him. Accordingly, it affects the relationship of a person with others, the effectiveness of his activities and the further development of the personality.

В настоящей статье авторы рассматривают в антропологическом ключе такую составляющую армянской алиментарной культуры, как лаваш, представляющий собой не только наиболее потребляемый и излюбленный, но и ставящийся наиболее высоко с точки зрения статусности вид хлеба, к тому же окруженный целым рядом этикетных и сакральных коннотаций. Авторы скрупулезно исследуют весь цикл производства лаваша: уделяют пристальное внимание структуре очагов-тониров, детально анализируют технологию процессов подготовки теста и выпечки, рассматривают социальные и этнографические аспекты этой практики, сотрудничество и взаимодействие лиц, выпекающих лаваш, взаимосвязь лаваша с другими видами пищи, многочисленные табу и поверья, связанные с выпечкой этого вида хлеба. Не меньшее внимание уделяется эмпирике и особенностям употребления лаваша, его полифункциональности на пиршественном столе и роли «съедобной утвари». Особое место в исследовании занимает освещение обрядности, связанной с лавашем, его места в традиционных верованиях армян и знаковости в локальном мировидении населения. In this article, the authors consider lavash from an anthropological perspective. Lavash is not only the most consumed and favorite component of Armenian alimentary culture but is higher than all other types of bread in status, possessing a multitude of sacred connotations and features of etiquette. The authors investigate the entire cycle of lavash production: they examine the structure of earthen ovens (tonir); analyze the technology of dough preparation and baking; consider the social and ethnographic aspects of these practices, including the cooperation and interaction of the people who make lavash; discuss the relationship of lavash to other types of food; and describe numerous taboos and beliefs associated with baking lavash. No less attention is paid to the use of lavash, its polyfunctionality on the banquet table and its role as an “edible utensil.” The authors also pay special attention to the rites associated with lavash, its place in the traditional beliefs of Armenians and its significance in their local worldview.

This paper showcases the indigenous security measures practiced in Barangay Can-eo and Barangay Talubin at Bontoc, Mountain Province. This qualitative research used interviews in gathering data that were supported with library research. This study explored on the effectiveness and contributions of the ritualistic and non-ritualistic security measures to individual safety and security of the community. It also exposes the relationship of the identified indigenous security measures to the Bontoc indigenous world view. It was found in the study that the ritualistic and non-ritualistic security measures in Barangay Can-eo and Barangay Talubin are effective and some are still being used and observed until today. The indigenous security measures are part of the relationship they have with nature, their environment and towards each other. It is a composite understanding and respect on how they deal with peace and order. It is concluded in this study that “Rituals emphasize the relationships between [Bontoc] farmers, the biophysical world, the social world and the supernatural world,” June Prill-Brett (2016, 101-111). Despite the changing dynamics of safety and security in the present time due to the sophistication of technology, education and modernity, the indigenous security measures still exist in Barangays Can-eo and Talubin because of the deep-seated respect that the people demonstrate on the rituals and non-ritualistic symbols and archetypes. The indigenous security measures reinforce community trust in relation to property and individual protection as well as community fortification.

Cultivating Democracy is the first study of its kind of the world’s largest democracy that shows how the values of republicanism are essential for successful democratic practice. In 1950, after independence, India constituted itself as a sovereign democratic republic. While democracy indicated the character of the vertical representative nature of the relationship between citizens and state, the term republic outlined the horizontal relationship of fraternity between people and an active engagement by citizens. The discussion of Indian politics in this book thereby attends to both its institutional form and its democratic culture and shows how the project of democracy is incomplete unless it is also accompanied by a continual cultivation of active citizenship of republicanism. This book is an anthropological study of the relationship of formal political democracy and the cultivation of active citizenship in one particular rural setting in India, studied from 1998 to 2013. It draws on deep ethnographic engagement with the people and social life in two villages, both during elections and in the time in between them, to show how these two temporalities connect. The analysis shows how an agrarian village society produces the social imaginaries required for democratic and republican values. The ethnographic microscope on a single paddy growing setting allows us to examine how the various social institutions of kinship, economy, and religion are critical sites for the continual civic cultivation of cooperation, vigilance, redistribution, inviolate commitment, and hope—values that are essential for democracy.

The results of an empirical study of the relationship between citizenship and trust on a sample of students from three universities (N = 252) are presented in the article. A trusting relationship is based on goodwill, honesty and on the desire to understand, accept another person with all his individual characteristics. The civic position in the work is considered as the social civic activity of the individual, proceeding under the influence of the socio-cultural environment. This is a moral position that encourages a person to feel like a part of civil society, expressed in the presence of a person’s system of socially significant moral guidelines that determine his sense of duty and responsibility to society, his willingness to actively defend his rights and interests and therefore act for the benefit of the people, society. The concepts of “adoption of standards” and “civic identity” are revealed. Diagnostics, in the presented study, was carried out using the Questionnaire of Confidence Relationships, the Questionnaire of Civil Identity (two scales: attitude to the norms of civil society, active civic position); projective methodology “Civic identity” (the methodology studies the significant values of civil society on seven scales). It was found that the educational and regional characteristics of the studied groups of students have an impact on the level of trust and civic characteristics of Russian student youth.

This article covers several stages of the work of Pichon-Rivière. In the 1950s he introduced the hypothesis of "the link as a four way relationship" (of reciprocal love and hate) between the baby and the mother. Clinical work with psychosis and psychosomatic disorders prompted him to examine how mental illness arises; its areas of expression, the degree of symbolisation, and the different fields of clinical observation. From the 1960s onwards, his experience with groups and families led him to explore a second path leading to "the voices of the link"—the voice of the internal family sub-group, and the place of the social and cultural voice where the link develops. This brought him to the definition of the link as a "bi-corporal and tri-personal structure". The author brings together the different levels of the analysis of the link, using as a clinical example the process of a psychoanalytic couple therapy with second generation descendants of a genocide within the limits of the transferential and countertransferential field. Body language (the core of the transgenerational link) and the couple's absences and presence during sessions create a rhythm that gives rise to an illusion, ultimately transforming the intersubjective link between the partners in the couple and with the analyst.

Thus can drawing conclusions about the relationship of the school with the community is essentially a very decisive tool in fostering and developing the personal growth of students in schools. If the relationship between the school and the community goes well, the sense of responsibility and participation of the community to advance the school will also be good and high. In order to create relationships and cooperation between schools and the community, the community needs to know and have a clear picture of the school they have obtained.The presence of schools is based on the good will of the country and the people who support it. Therefore people who work in schools inevitably have to work with the community. The community here can be in the form of parents of students, agencies, organizations, both public and private. One reason schools need help from the community where schools are because schools must be funded.
