Nicola Vitale walks a side path to the smooth march of technocratic rationalism. A rationalism dried up in the imagination, in the capacity for vision, in the sense of community belonging that makes us human beings, as Aristotle taught. Snow White, from a Disney fairy tale, returns to its symbolic powerful significance of alchemical narration where everything, even the most divisive evil, finds meaning and place.

[Model of a Film Fairy Tale in the Disney Golden Age (with Later Modifications)] The article attempts to determine the constitutive elements of a model film fairy tale in the so-called Disney Golden Age and to examine how it was used in later works, both these created by the studio and those by unrelated creators. After preliminary remarks, the author analyses three feature-length animated films: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Cinderella (1950), and Sleeping Beauty (1959). In these works, as he notes, one can notice a set of features that make up the classic Disney model of a film fairy tale. Next, the author discusses modifications applied to the pattern during the Disney Renaissance and Revival. Finally, he cites examples of cultural texts polemical to this paradigm which point to the cultural vitality and heterogeneity of the studio’s films.

Perceptual notation in the Russian folk fairy-talePerceptual notation captures information received from different sense organs but predicated by the same consciousness of “a perceived human being”. In the cognitive context semantics of sensory nominations reflects elements of the perceptual concept. The fact that the verbalization of its facultative elements depends not only on the type of discourse folklore, genre a tale, but also on its subtype a fairy-tale is claimed to be a hypothesis of this research. It settles that in the Russian folk fairy-tale the semantics of perceptual notation is predicated by the opposition “real — irreal world” and the semantics element “fabulous, belonging to the other world” is a basis of the semantic content of the perceptual notation. Besides that, the perceptual semantics in this type of fairy tales correlates with the aesthetical, axiological views of the folklore community on nature and human beings, reconstructing the folk ideal or ant-ideal. Перцептивне означення у російській народній чарівнiй казціПерцептивне означення фіксує інформацію, що надходить від різних органів чуттів, але обумовлену єдиною свідомістю «людини сприймаючої». У когнітивному плані семантика номінацій сенсорики відображає ознаки перцептивного концепту. Те, що вербалізація його факультативних ознак залежить не тільки від типу дискурсу фольклор, жанру казка, але і від підвиду жанру чарівна казка, становить гіпотезу даного дослідження. Встановлюєть­ся що в російській народній чарівній казці семантика перцептивної номінації обумовлена опозицією «реальний- ірреальний світ» і семантична ознака ‘чудовий, що належить іншому світу’ є основою змісту перцептивного означення. Крім того, в даній групі казок перцептивна семантика співвідноситься з естетичними, аксіологічними поглядами фольклорного соціуму на природу і людину, реконструюючи народний ідеал або антиідеал.

<p>In the United States, residents of mobile homes and mobile home communities are faced with cultural stigmatization regarding their places of living. While common, the “trailer trash” stigma, an example of both housing and neighborhood/territorial stigma, has been understudied in contemporary research. Through a range of discursive strategies, many subgroups within this larger population manage to successfully distance themselves from the stigma and thereby render it inconsequential (Kusenbach, 2009). But what about those residents—typically white, poor, and occasionally lacking in stability—who do not have the necessary resources to accomplish this? This article examines three typical responses by low-income mobile home residents—here called resisting, downplaying, and perpetuating—leading to different outcomes regarding residents’ sense of community belonging. The article is based on the analysis of over 150 qualitative interviews with mobile home park residents conducted in West Central Florida between 2005 and 2010.</p>

Background: While the neighborhood community literature well documents a link between participation in supportive and effective community groups or activities and empowerment, there is as yet little empirical evidence of this relationship in the context of community mental health programs. Aim: The primary purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between sense of community belonging and empowerment among members of mental health clubhouses. Methods: A secondary analysis using a hierarchical regression model was conducted on cross-sectional structured interview data collected through a self-report questionnaire from 102 clubhouse members from six clubhouses in the United States and Finland. Results: The results indicated that members’ sense of clubhouse community belonging positively contributes to their empowerment. Conclusion: Fostering sense of community belonging appears to be a valid approach to catalyze empowerment. Study limitations and future research agendas were discussed.

Abstract Creative arts can promote social contact and possibly reduce isolation. A professionally run theater group comprised of low-income older adults met for 12 weeks to learn basic skills and perform a play. Using a pre-post questionnaire, data were gathered from the treatment group (n=14) who participated in the class and a non-participating comparison group (n=5) to identify potential program effects on measures of social isolation, community belonging, and social exclusion. Participants were African American living in low-income housing in an urban area. The average age of the sample was 65 years, 21% were men, 83% had at least high school degree, 71% reported good to excellent health, and 58% reported at least one ADL. Regression analyses showed that a sense of community belonging was significantly greater for the treatment group than the comparison group at time 2.This was not the case when considering social isolation or social exclusion. When controls were added (age, health, and previous theater experience), the significant difference remained with higher age predicting a sense of community belonging. The greater number of class sessions attended was also associated with a greater sense of community belonging for the treatment group. Through the shared experience of theater, participants can gain a sense of community, but this activity does not seem to be related to social isolation or social exclusion. It could be that theater participation fosters a sense of belonging due to group dynamics but is not a significant enough activity to reduce a sense of isolation or exclusion.

El estudio de las comunidades indígenas en la búsqueda de la descripción de sus sistemas normativos, en México, al menos, muestra que el tema de la propiedad es central para entender el contenido de estos sistemas. El pensamiento antropológico, en cambio, dejando de lado la estructura social, en este caso la no propiedad sobre la tierra, quiere encontrar la explicación de la normatividad propia de esas comunidades en el sentimiento de pertenencia a la comunidad. El análisis de las normas relacionadas con el control sobre la tierra muestra que ese sentimiento comunitario tiene que ser explicado al mismo tiempo, y eso solo puede hacerse a partir del estudio de las relaciones sociales propias de una sociedad agraria no capitalista. Por otra parte, no cabe dejar de decirse que el contenido de la normatividad comunitaria es lo que explica la pervivencia de la comunidad, y de igual manera explica la terquedad y la fuerza conque los sabios de esas sociedades insisten en la conservación de su modo de vida —es decir, de sus normas— para reproducirse como comunidades que intentan pervivir al margen de la sociedad capitalista, a la cual ven como enemiga de esa pervivencia. En suma, la propuesta dice: no se puede explicar el contenido de las normas observadas en las comunidades sin recurrir a las formas de control sobre la tierra. La actitud comunitaria, ese sentimiento de pertenencia, es una necesidad en orden con la reproducción de su vida, determinada primordialmente por el control sobre la tierra.   ABSTRACT The study of indigenous communities in the search to describe their normative systems, in Mexico at least, illustrates that the issue of property is central to understanding the content of these systems. Anthropological thought, on the other hand, leaving aside social structure, in this case non-ownership of land, wants to find the explanation of the particular type of regulation of these communities in “the sense of community belonging.” Analysis of the norms related to control over land illustrates that this community feeling must be explained at the same time, and that can only be done based on study of the particular social relations of a non-capitalist agrarian society. On the other hand, it cannot be emphasized enough that the content of community regulatory norms is what explains the survival of the community, and in the same manner explains the stubbornness and strength with which the wise persons of these societies insist on conserving their way of life —in other words, their norms— to reproduce themselves as communities intending to survive outside capitalist society, which they see as an enemy to that survival. In summary, the proposal states that the content of the norms observed in these communities cannot be explained without addressing the forms of control over land. The community attitude, that sense of belonging, is a necessity for the reproduction of their lives, primarily determined by control over land.
