The social-relational lives of girls and boys often experience various problems of gender injustice, which are manifested in the form of gender stereotyping. This paper aims to analyze aspects of gender stereotyping and their implications for social resilience in children in the context of relations between girls and boys and their environment. The data collection relies on the literature study and interviews with one expert who is an lecturer as well as a child rights activist. This paper explains that gender stereotype has been done since childhood, even before the child is born. The stereotype is perpetuated through various socializations: through families, schools, and the general public environment. Gender stereotype has an impact on children's social resilience, particularly how children react in society. The difference of perceptions in children with society expectations makes them feel confused and uncomfortable with themself.

Conflicts are a form of man-made disaster changing the economy of nations, influencing energy concerns, food, shelter and demographic distributions. The breakdown of global systems has become a huge concern that needs working mechanisms to develop resilient cities. The working mechanisms vary from one country to another, thus making the process a complex reality. Resilience is a word that was derived from the Latin word “resalire” which means “to spring back”. In this work, the housing environment was considered as a system constituting of several subsystems (Social, Environmental, Political, Economic subsystems). It argues that for resilience to occur within the post-conflict housing environment there is a need for an inclusive evaluation of users' preferences and expectations. With a focus on the social subsystem, it tried to determine the level of significance of gender, age, income and level of exposure on the perceived social character of a post-conflict housing environment and the satisfaction derived thereof. The study showed the importance of inclusivity as it influences perception and satisfaction. Using regression analysis, the study revealed that Perception and satisfaction within a post-conflict housing environment were influenced by age (73%), gender (74%), income and level of exposure (54%).

Recent statistics about the mobile phone market in Brazil state that for every 100 inhabitants there are 130 mobile phones. Despite the euphoria that those numbers bring to business, the social uses of mobile technology in Brazil tells a lot about Brazilian society and culture itself, and show a more complex picture than merely a marketing phenomenon. The authors examine subversive cell phone use in Brazil against the background of the cell phone use worldwide and the social implications of that cell phone use. As soon as a technology is implemented in a culture, it is possible to observe uses that were not intended by the inventors or producers of that technology. People create different strategies to take advantage of the new resource. Using social interaction theories and an ethnographic approach in the natural setting of cell phone use in Brazil, the authors observed how people use the mobile phone technology for interpersonal communication. This chapter addresses three subversive uses of mobile technology, namely, i.) strategies of mobile phone coding; ii) SIM card management; and iii) criminal uses of mobile phones.

Distinct Role

This article aims to contribute to the theoretical development of the social resilience approach. Recognising the interface between resilience and poverty studies, it proposes a distinct role for resilience research from a critical perspective to understand the dynamics of hardship in exceptional times, such as times of socio-economic crises, rather than explaining the long-term trajectories of poverty. It then provides a conceptual framework on the structural foundations of social resilience, highlighting three components: rules, resources and power relations. The article uses the 2008 crisis and the ensuing period of austerity as a microcosm to place the discussion within a contemporary context.

After collective traumas such as natural disasters and terrorist attacks, members of concerned communities experience intense emotions and talk profusely about them. Although these exchanges resemble simple emotional venting, Durkheim’s theory of collective effervescence postulates that these collective emotions lead to higher levels of solidarity in the affected community. We present the first large-scale test of this theory through the analysis of digital traces of 62,114 Twitter users after the Paris terrorist attacks of November 2015. We found a collective negative emotional response followed by a marked long-term increase in the use of lexical indicators related to solidarity. Expressions of social processes, prosocial behavior, and positive affect were higher in the months after the attacks for the individuals who participated to a higher degree in the collective emotion. Our findings support the conclusion that collective emotions after a disaster are associated with higher solidarity, revealing the social resilience of a community.

Social resilience is an essential aspect of sustainability in environmental management, especially in poor resource-dependent communities. To better understand the dynamics of social resilience, we have conducted a primarily qualitative study of communities dependent on hilsa fishing in two coastal villages in southern Bangladesh. This study applies concepts of social-ecological system (SES), social resilience and co-management in outlining our qualitative data and framing its interpretation. Our findings show that while the establishment of hilsa sanctuary areas has enhanced the previously low ecological sustainability of local small-scale fishing, the management of this program has challenged the social resilience of hilsa fishers by creating new inequalities in the distribution of power and privilege, in terms of the ways in which seasonal fishing bans are enforced and compensation for income loss during the ban periods is distributed. Based on our findings, we suggest specific measures for strengthening social resilience at the local level, including building community networks, developing community infrastructures, updating existing rules and regulations, providing alternative means of generating income for fishers during the crisis periods (e.g. natural disasters and fishing ban periods) and more active sharing of responsibility between stakeholders and government for management of the hilsa fishery. These findings are also applicable to understanding the issues beyond rules and regulations that co-management arrangements need to address in order to be successful and to enhancing the function of co-management arrangements in improving social resilience within resource-dependent communities.

Island Archaeology

The ancient Talayotic Culture of Menorca can be best distinguished from that of Mallorca through peculiarities in its monumental architecture. This paper examines the social significance of Menorca’s megalithic structures, known as ‘taulas’. The construction of such visible monuments within the island’s cultural landscape at a time when foreign relations were increasing is significant in that it could suggest a conscious desire for differentiation from Mallorca, its larger and nearest Balearic Island neighbor. This article proposes that these monuments might have functioned as a source of social resilience for indigenous Menorcans, fostering and enabling the persistence of a distinct identity throughout the Roman epoch when the presence of Roman military personnel on the island further intensified foreign cultural interactions. Active engagement in identity curation might also have provided a sense of sovereignty within the broader ‘globalizing’ hegemony of the Roman Empire. The apparent latitude with which this seems to have been carried out also calls into question broadly accepted narratives regarding the Roman presence in Menorca.

This paper seeks to portray and examine the dominant understanding of terrorism as reflected in official discourse in Singapore. It also evaluates its impact on attempts aimed at combating terrorism's potent threat to social cohesion. It is maintained that pervasive influence of the culturalist approach woven into the understanding of terrorism has had the effect of thrusting into focus Islam and certain presumptions of the identity and culture of the Muslim community of Singapore. The dominance of this approach conditions and compounds the lack of a more comprehensive and objective analysis of the phenomenon informed by concepts and methodology from the social sciences. This impedes efforts at fostering social resilience and cohesion aimed at thwarting the looming threat of terrorism.

AbstractFlood disasters often occur in the area of West Aceh Regency (Johan Pahlawan, Samatiga and West Woyla). Several flood mitigation efforts have been carried out in this region. However, often only socialization and handling of a social nature, such as providing food assistance, medicines and relocating residents. however, these efforts have not been able to help the community as a whole from the flood disaster. This study identifies the various roles of social capital (habitus, capital and the realm) that exist in local communities in responding to the flood disaster in Aceh Barat District. This study uses a qualitative approach using interview, observation and documentation data collection methods in the three sub-districts most frequently affected by floods in Aceh Barat District. The three districts are Johan Pahlawan, Samatiga and West Woyla. The theoretical study used in this study is social capital from Pierre Bourdieu, where the role and awareness of the community in flood disaster mitigation are assumed to be a dialectical process (habitus, capital and domain) and through time travel (historical processes and habits) which are also influenced by the environment the social (realm) that shapes it. The results showed that, there was a strengthening of social capital in the community in three districts in disaster mitigation, which was formed through a dialectical process (habitus, capital and the realm), although with different characteristics. Social awareness of flood disaster mitigation through time travel (historical processes and habits) and influenced by the social (realm) environment that shapes social resilience.   Bencana banjir seringkali terjadi di wilayah Kabupaten Aceh Barat (Johan Pahlawan, Samatiga dan Woyla Barat). Beberapa usaha mitigasi bencana banjir telah dilakukan di wilayah ini. Akan tetapi seringkali hanya bersifat sosialisasi dan penanganan yang bersifat sosial, seperti memberi bantuan makanan, obat-obatan serta merelokasi penduduk. namun berbagai upaya ini belum mampu membantu masyarakat secara utuh dari musibah banjir. Studi ini mengidentifikasi berbagai peran dari modal sosial (habitus, modal dan ranah) yang ada di dalam masyarakat setempat dalam merespon bencana banjir di Kabupaten Aceh Barat. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode pengumpulan data wawancara, pengamatan, dan dokumentasi di tiga kecamatan yang paling sering terkena musibah banjir di Kabupaten Aceh Barat. Ketiga kecamatan tersebut adalah Johan Pahlawan, Samatiga dan Woyla Barat. Kajian teoritis yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah modal sosial dari Pierre Bourdieu, dimana peran dan kesadaran masyarakat dalam mitigasi bencana banjir diasumsikan sebagai sebuah proses dialektika (habitus, modal dan ranah) dan melalui perjalanan waktu (proses sejarah dan kebiasaan) yang juga dipengaruhi oleh lingkungan (ranah) sosial yang membentuknya. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa, terjadi penguatan modal sosial pada masyarakat di tiga kecamatan dalam mitigasi bencana, yang terbentuk melalui proses dialetika (habitus, modal dan ranah) meskipun dengan karakteristik yang berbeda. Kesadaran sosial terhadap mitigasi bencana banjir melalui perjalan waktu (proses sejarah dan kebiasaan) serta dipengaruhi oleh lingkungan (ranah) sosial yang membentuk ketahanan sosial.
