Designing interpretive communities toward justice: indexicality in classroom discourse

Purpose This study aims to investigate how, through text-based classroom talk, youth collaboratively draw on and remix discourses and practices from multiple socially indexed traditions. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on data from a year-long social design experiment, this study uses qualitative coding and traces discoursal markers of indexicality. Findings The youth sustained, remixed and evaluated interpretive communities in their navigation across disciplinary and fandom discourses to construct a hybrid classroom interpretive community. Originality/value This research contributes to scholarship that supports using popular texts in classrooms as the focus of a scholarly inquiry by demonstrating how youth in one high school English classroom discursively index interpretive communities aligned with popular fandoms and literary scholarship. This study adds to understandings about the social nature of literary reading, interpretive whole-class text-based talk and literary literacies with multimodal texts in diverse, high school classrooms.

Genesis of the suvorovsk education or where is the state man prepared today?

the review article presents a historical and pedagogical retrospective of Suvorov military education in educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia from the 40s of the XX century to the present, identifies problems and trends in the training of pupils of the Suvorov military schools of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, defines the essence of professional orientation of graduates-Suvorov service in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation. The genesis of Suvorov education from the depths of cadet training and upbringing, the state and social nature of Suvorov education: the preparation of a statesman and the care of orphans of the dead servicemen and employees of internal affairs bodies. It has been determined that the Suvv military schools exercise the individual's right to choose an individual educational trajectory, on the one hand, and are obliged to fulfill the state order for training personnel for the activities of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation, on the other. Such dualism gives rise to the contradictory interpretation of constitutional norms associated with the right of a citizen to choose not only the direction of education, but also the direction of professional activity.

This paper presents an extensive research project carried out by the Theatre Department at the National Museum. This document, the Catalogue of Contemporary Theatre Buildings, maps out in detail the sites where theatre is performed in the Czech Republic today. It focuses not only on professional venues, but also registers other, often unconventional, places where theatre thrives, such as churches, public spaces, cultural centres, private apartments, gymnasia, cinemas, shopping centres, etc. In the first section, the outline of the project is presented, starting from the initial idea through to the people involved and technical support for its implementation, to a description of how the obtained material was processed into a comprehensive and clear archival collection. In the second part, the study focuses on some valuable findings on contemporary theatre in the Czech Republic, obtained by the author during the cataloguing process. Using photographs, textual materials, video footage and interviews with employees of the documented institutions, the project aims to find answers to general questions of a social nature: How does neatness or untidiness indicate a citizen‘s relationship to the place in which they live? How do people understand the terms ‘community centre’ and ‘public service’?

Rewolucje naukowe według Sadego a dzisiejsza epistemologia

W. Sady’s book Struktura rewolucji relatywistycznej i kwantowej w fizyce [The Structure of the Relativist and Quantum Revolutions in Physics] is discussed. In his analysis of the history of physics of XIX and early XX centuries the Author argues, contrary to Kuhn, that grand discoveries result as conclusions from certain assumptions and suitably selected pieces of background knowledge. I point to major Sady’s inspirations — Wittgenstein, Wiśniewski and Fleck — and the kinship of his account to hinge epistemology and my sandwich theory of knowledge. His view on the social nature of knowledge and the role of mathematics is commented upon. In conclusion I suggest that the tension between Sady’s antirealism and traditional truth requirement for knowledge can be resolved by a suitable modification of Ajdukiewicz’s radical conventionalism.

The Practice of Buying and Selling During Friday Prayer in Mandailing District Natal: A Study With A Maqashid Al-Syari'ah Approach

Islam, as a complete religion, regulates all human life. It regulates vertical ritual worship to Allah Almighty and regulates horizontal worship, namely the relationship between humans, so balance is needed in life. Humans as social creatures created by Allah need each other and cannot be separated from muamalah affairs such as buying and selling to fulfill their needs. Buying and selling is also a daily activity for everyone to meet the needs of their lives. Everyone who does buying and selling must know the law of buying and selling so that no one is harmed, especially the practice of buying and selling when Friday prayer are performed. Thus, the practice works under the provisions of Islamic law. Hablum minannas in the practice of muamalah towards fellow human beings must be in line with hablum minallah based on the guidance of Islamic law. Broadly speaking, Islamic law itself is divided into two; worship and muamalah. Muamalah is the rules (laws) of Allah Swt, intended to regulate human life in worldly affairs of a social nature. In this discussion, the author will explain the law of buying and selling during Friday prayer in Mandailing Natal Regency: a study with a maqashid al-syari'ah approach. This research is descriptive-analytical with the field study research through a normative, empirical approach. The results of this study is that the law of buying and selling that reaches the degree of urgency during Friday prayer is permissible with the aim of more significant benefit, namely protecting the soul (hifdzun an-Nafs) and (hifdzun al-Aql). This law applies in buying and selling medical drugs at pharmacies, hospitals, and other vital objects.

COMMISION OF CRIMES AGAINST LIFE AND HEALTH BY PRISONERS IN PENAL INSTITUTIONS

В статье рассматриваются вопросы предупреждения преступлений против жизни и здоровья, совершаемых осужденными в исправительных учреждениях. Пенитенциарные преступления против жизни и здоровья составляют 20 % от всех совершаемых в исправительных учреждениях преступлений. Противодействие преступлениям в пенитенциарных учреждениях нашей страны в настоящее время осуществляется не на должном уровне, что обусловлено происходящими изменениями в социально-политической и экономической жизни страны, подверженной экономическим санкциям со стороны ряда мировых держав, отдельными недостатками реализации реформы уголовно-исполнительного законодательства и УИС в целом. В работе отмечается, что предупреждение преступлений против жизни и здоровья в пенитенциарных учреждениях должно осуществляться как на общем уровне (общая профилактика, охватывающая неограниченное число объектов профилактики), так и на индивидуальном уровне (индивидуальная профилактика, ориентированная на конкретное лицо или криминогенную ситуацию) с использованием методов дифференциации и индивидуализации профилактического воздействия. Объектами профилактического воздействия являются детерминанты преступности, личность преступника и микросреда, в которой он находится. Общесоциальное направление предупреждения пенитенциарной преступности отличается разнообразием мер воздействия на общественные отношения и включает в себя меры социального характера, экономические меры, меры культурно-воспитательного характера, организационно-управленческого характера. The article deals with the issues of preventing crimes against life and health committed by convicts in correctional institutions. Penitentiary crimes against life and health account for 20 % of all crimes committed in correctional institutions. Counteraction to crimes in penitentiary institutions of our country is currently not carried out at the proper level, which is due to the ongoing changes in the socio-political and economic life of the country, subject to economic sanctions from a number of world powers, certain shortcomings in the implementation of the reform of the penal legislation and the penal system as a whole. The work notes that the prevention of crimes against life and health in penitentiary institutions should be carried out both at the general level (general prevention, covering an unlimited number of prevention objects) and at the individual level (individual prevention, focused on a specific person or crime situation) using methods of differentiation and individualization of preventive action. The objects of preventive action are the determinants of crime, the personality of the offender and the microenvironment in which he finds himself. The general social direction of the prevention of penitentiary crime is distinguished by a variety of measures of influence on public relations and includes measures of a social nature, economic measures, measures of a cultural and educational nature, organizational and managerial nature.

Social Representations, Communication, and the Evolution of Cultures

This chapter suggests that, in order to understand changes in both social representations and culture, we need to focus on their systemic nature and on the role of communication processes. Linking up with a lengthy tradition that enhances the social nature of the human mind, the connections between the Frankfurt School’s legacy, cultural psychology, and the socio-constructionist movement are explored from a mature biological-evolutionary perspective. Considering and extending the idea of complexity from the biological domain to the mental, social, and cultural spheres, the attention shifts from structures to processes. What then becomes relevant is how well living and cultural systems are able to constantly regenerate themselves through structural changes and the establishing of new connections. The author suggests that we consider social representations as “maps” that we need to orient ourselves effectively in the “territory” of knowledge, action, and social relations.
