Important Food Source

Abstract Once avoided on both sides of the Bering Strait, wild mushrooms are now considered to be delicious edibles in Chukotka. An important food source, mushroom-gathering is also a recreational activity that cultivates particular relationships between people and the land. In the past, prior to the influences of the mushroom-loving Russian cuisine, the Yupiget of Chukotka regarded mushrooms as “devil ears,” while the Chukchi people largely viewed them as reindeer food, unfit for human consumption. This article examines the transformation in Yupik and Chukchi ideas about mushrooms in the context of a broader ethnohistorical overview. Using the narratives shared by Yupik, Chukchi, and non-indigenous residents of Chukotka, it highlights the role of cultural identity in shaping landscape perceptions, demonstrating how during and after the Soviet period members of each group were finding their own distinct ways of relating to the ecological universe, transformed by new political processes and vast social changes.

This scientific article highlights the place and role of the Karakalpak ethnic culture in the development and preservation of the identity of the people. The authors analyze the culture and life of the modern Karakalpak family, which inherits to the next generation the traditional way of life associated with national holidays and traditions, dastans performed by Karakalpak bakhshi (singers), legends and legends of the past, told by the older generation. The article argues that social changes in the global space contribute to the emergence of certain changes in the content of cultural identity, language, art, spiritual categories, which are elements of the basis of the national identity of each nation and various ethno-regional units, which further strengthens the study of this issue under the influence of the process of globalization.

Economic Strategies

The similarity of state structures throughout Eastern Europe helps to explain why the reactions of states in that area to the international economic disturbances of the past decade resemble each other and why they differ from those of states outside the socialist bloc. Similar state structures, however, do not explain why the economic strategies of the East European states themselves in response to international economic shocks in the 1970s and 1980s diverged so noticeably. The role of state structure is to define “kto/kovo” (who can do what to whom) relationships in the state and economy. In this way state structures define problems that political leaders must solve, possibilities among which they may choose, and political resources and allies upon which they may draw in the course of their decision making. In contrast, strategy choices–“what is to be done”–are the outcomes of political processes in which leaders mobilize resources and allies to capture positions of power from which they can pursue the purposes they advocate. Thus differences in foreign economic strategies among member states in the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance reflected differences in the dynamic interaction of the form and content of political processes that occurred within common state structures.

Energy Law

The article considers the problems of energy legislation in the context of improving the legislation on entrepreneurship. In the judgment of the author the construction of the energy legislation is a possibility provided it is of a centrifugal nature with the general principles making the basis for such acts attempted to solve the outstanding problems. One of such principles which is to be legislatively enacted could be the principle of import substitution adopted to do away with dependence on foreign-made goods. The role of energy law can only be understood provided we have the relevant contemporary system of laws. This can be possibly achieved from the doctrinal point of view. The author analyses legal business regulation existing in the pre revolutionary and soviet period. It helps to understand better what is to borrowed from the experience of the past to be used to regulate said relationships. The author calls for necessity to issue the Code of Laws of the Russian Federation as the first step to make legislation systematized. The next step to be taken could be the adoption of comprehensive legal acts, say, Energy Code which could eventually make so-called legislation blocks. The latter could , in turn, serve the basis for so-called central legislative act to regulate business law.

Normative Account

In this chapter, Lane argues that Plato in Republic Book 8 emancipates the logic of social change from the past while infusing it with normative content. From this perspective, Plato might be said to invent a logic of intelligible choice to explain social change in the form of an explanatory scenario rather than history. Whereas Herodotus and Thucydides investigated the record of observable social changes in the past and present, Plato undertakes a new intellectual enterprise: an exploration of the mechanisms of social change that is not merely adduced from the happenstance character of those events that have actually occurred. Furthermore, what Plato offers is a form of sociopolitical explanation that is premised on a normative account of the objective moral good, centered on the role of law as a principle of order oriented to the good, and on rule as essentially aiming to serve the good of the ruled.

What  makes  theological  education  "theological"?  A  South  Mrican story on the iniegrity of  theological education David  Tracy  claims  that  the  contemporary  emergence  of a  sociological imagination  is  as  crucial for  theological  self-consciousness  as  the  earlier rise of  historical consciousness among  theologians.  The  authors are of  the opinion  that  the  rapid  and fundamental  social  changes  in  South  African society  over  the  past few  years  have  accelerated  this  "emergence  of a sociological  imagination"  amongst  Sout~  African  theologians.  In  three sections,  they  point  to  three  clusters  of questions  that  have  therefore become  increasingly  important,  namely  questions  related  to  the  growing awareness  of the  crucial  role  of social  location  or  context,  questions arising  from  a  growing  acknowledgement  of public  responsibility,  and questions concerning  the  integrity of  theological education,  i e the question on what makes theological education  "theological".

While writing of contemporary issues Mahesh Dattani constructs a sense of a shared urban cultural identity, which is upper-middle class, professional, English speaking and a cityfied identity. Memory plays a very important part in the plays. Public memory is time and again juxtaposed with personal memory, and it becomes a means to explain and justify the political acts committed for personal interests. This paper looks at how memory, personal as well public, shapes the identities (social, personal and religious) of characters in Mahesh Dattanis Final Solutions. Incidents are important, but only to explain why and how the people populate his plays, acting in ways that they do. The psychological action is of greater relevance than any physical action that takes place in the play. He reveals his characters by placing them in situations where they are forced to analyze themselves in the light of what happened in their lives in the past.

Cultural identity in ketoprak performance should depart from all cultural products themselves. Strengthening the form of ketoprak performance in the middle of the era becomes important for artists in building their creativity. The strategy was designed so that people assume that ketoprak was theirs and able to be their representation. Based on the data collected, the number of groups, performances, and ketoprak artists in DIY were as follows. The number of groups in four districts and one municipality were 497 groups. The number of ketoprak showed from 1999-2009 was 145 times. The highest number of ketoprak groups was in Kulonprogo Regency, followed by Gunungkidul Regency, Bantul Regency, Sleman Regency, and finally the Municipality. The year 2005 was a milestone in the development of ketoprak to the present. The successful renewal of ketoprak shows can be seen by the number of shows which are 113 times over five years (from 2005 to 2009), which means that there were twenty ketoprak shows every year, and every month there were two ketoprak shows. The condition was triggered by several factors as follows. First, local government awareness to determined the icon of DIY tourism as part of globalization. Second, the awareness of artists to package performances that match the demands of the times. Third, awareness of the artistic layout strategy using symbolic and supported by Tobong ketoprak tricks. Fourthly, the influence of ketoprak humor and ketoprak R&D which still uses the style of play and jokes, causes the ketoprak show to be no longer a mere political tool, but a tool and place of friendship for the citizens. Fifth, the story was no longer based on myths, chronicles and legends, but penetrated the wayang story but with a more contextual interpretation of the story with the present. By seeing the many activities of ketoprak performances in DIY it can be said if ketoprak has become an icon of culture and tourism in DIY. Ketoprak performances tread its survival was no longer a traditional art, but has become a form of modernist art. Over the past ten years, the ketoprak show has experienced quite improved conditions. The vigilance of artists and audiences must be constantly reminded. The trick was to continuing to enhance the role of government as a protector of arts and culture. The ketoprak festival must continuing to be held continuously. Improving the skills of ketoprak artists must continuing to be sharpened. Of course the friendship between Ketoprak artists must continuing to be encouraged. Government’s appreciation for ketoprak artists must be increased.Keywords: identity; ketoprak; strengthening; globalization

Creating Competitive Memories by Migrants. Patrycja Trzeszczyńska, Diaspora – pamięć – miejsca. Ukraińcy z Polski z lat 80. XX wieku w Kanadzie. Studium etnograficzne, Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego, Kraków 2019, ss. 346. The article presents the latest monograph by Patrycja Trzeszczyńska (Diaspora – Memory – Places: The Ukrainians from Poland of the 1980s in Canada. An Ethnographic Study), which analyzes the functioning of the memory of migrants from Poland. The inspiration to undertake to carry out the research was the author’s intention to continue her studies on the memory of the Lemkos. On the basis of the impressive material collected in the course of P. Trzeszczyńska’s three-year field research (conducted in the years 2014–2016), the anthropologist proved the occurrence of a vital ‘diasporic’ transformation in the identity of the migrants who, even if they remember the trauma experienced by their parents, this memory is no longer necessary for them to construct their own Ukrainian identity. In this situation, looking for Lemkos in Canada turned out groundless, since each new wave of migrants from Poland brought along their own memory (or post-memory) of the past, which led to the internal differentiation within the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada as far as both generations and regions are concerned. Thanks to the penetrating analysis of the functioning of the generational memory of migrants from Poland, the author of the monograph expanded the knowledge on the role of memory in the process of creating and enriching cultural identity of contemporary (no only diasporic) communities.
