Full textAbstract:
The concepts of “repertoires” and “cycles” of collective action, as popularized in recent years in the works of Charles Tilly and Sidney Tarrow, respectively, are the focal point of this essay. I explore these concepts in the context of a set of data based on 7,664 incidents of social conflict and political protest occurring in Japan during the period 1590–1877, in order to investigate their temporally and spatially comparative robustness.

Full textAbstract:
Using a bibliometric analysis, this study conducts a thorough investigation of the relationship between social justice movements, popular culture, and social media. Utilizing citation analysis, co-authorship networks, keyword co-occurrence, and temporal trends analysis, the study draws from a wide spectrum of scholarly publications, including seminal texts and modern contributions. The complex relationships found in the literature are made easier to show with the help of the visualization application VOSviewer. The analysis identifies important research areas and highlights topics including the effects of youth internet use, the contribution of popular culture to activism, and social network dynamics. The intellectual landscape is also shaped by important works by writers like Tarrow, McPherson, and Collins. Along with highlighting justice, race, and gender, the study also uncovers rising themes like diversity and group action through term occurrences. All things considered, this bibliometric analysis offers a thorough grasp of the intellectual landscape, generating a nuanced knowledge of the complex convergence of social justice, popular culture, and social media and providing ideas for future research.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes possibilities of convergence between popular education and participatory action research, taking as a reference the thought of the Brazilian pedagogue Paulo Freire and the Colombian social scientist Orlando Fals Borda. In particular, it examines these convergences in order to identify elements for the constitution of a decolonial pedagogy in Latin America. It is a research inserted in the field of the comparative history of Latin American social thought, using as primary sources several works of Paulo Freire and Orlando Fals Borda. The article defends the argument that the convergence between popular education and participatory action research is one of the most fruitful, creative and instigating intellectual contributions ever produced in Latin America, capable of pointing to a decolonial pedagogy that confronts intellectual colonialism, Pedagogical traditionalism and the authoritarianism of modern-colonial science.

Full textAbstract:
In the 1970s and 1980s, the social and professional imaginaries of education, sociopolitical conceptions of it, and educational practices in Spain, began to be influenced by certain elements specific to critical popular education, which had developed in Latin America during the long 1960s. Paulo Freire’s work was particularly prominent among such influences, either directly or indirectly inspiring social and fundamental educational movements in contexts of poverty, marginalisation and social exclusion –for example, street educators. One of the most significant examples of these Freirean practices was Enrique de Castro– a working-class priest who worked in the south of Madrid (Spain) with young people in such a position, from the early 1970s. At the same time, he laboured to bring about social transformation and development; the project managed to Garner the involvement of practically the entire community. This article analyses Paulo Freire’s influence in the educational and community principles expressed by Enrique de Castro in his works ¿Hay que colgarlos? and Dios es ateo. Particular attention is paid to the notions of awareness-raising, education, social action, community development, social and critical leadership of institutions, which de Castro championed.

In Chile and Latin America, the State has built the city. Thus, from buildings and public spaces, institutional, school, housing, hospital, industrial, and transportation architectures, to the most diverse spheres, the State’s action in the production of public architecture is undeniable. At different times, this fact has been more or less valued or recognized. For example, during the presidency of José Manuel Balmaceda (1886-1891), his administration undertook numerous public works that sought to spread modernization throughout the country through buildings and infrastructure. Likewise, during the 1940s, with the boost of the Popular Front governments, there was a sustained institutionalization action that resulted in the construction of numerous buildings, that spread the benefits of modern architecture for public architecture and working-class housing. With the application of a capitalist economic-social model, which privileges market fluctuations, from the 1970s to the present, the private sector has been favored, so that the State’s action in the production of the city has been curtailed and, on many occasions, muted or vilified.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractChinese local officials frequently employ relational repression to demobilize protesters. When popular action occurs, they investigate activists' social ties, locate individuals who might be willing to help stop the protest, assemble a work team and dispatch it to conduct thought work. Work team members are then expected to use their personal influence to persuade relatives, friends and fellow townspeople to stand down. Those who fail are subject to punishment, including suspension of salary, removal from office and prosecution. Relational repression sometimes works. When local authorities have considerable say over work team members and bonds with protesters are strong, relational repression can help demobilize protesters and halt popular action. Even if relational repression does not end a protest entirely, it can limit its length and scope by reducing tension at times of high strain and providing a channel for negotiation. Often, however, as in a 2005 environmental protest in Zhejiang, insufficiently tight ties and limited concern about consequences creates a commitment deficit, partly because thought workers recognize their ineffectiveness with many protesters and partly because they anticipate little or no punishment for failing to demobilize anyone other than a close relative. The practice and effectiveness of relational, “soft” repression in China casts light on how social ties can demobilize as well as mobilize contention and ways in which state and social power can be combined to serve state ends.

Goldmann's genetic structuralism approach is one of the literary critique approaches and believes that the literary text are derived from the ideology governing the classes of society, and focuses on study of stories and their structures to know the social structures. A review of the changes made in the themes and subjects of the works of the Iranian story writers that most of them are from the middle class of society, indicates the growth of awareness and understanding of Iranian women about their identity and individuality and the achievement of conditions beyond what they are. Although in popular stories, most Iranian female storytellers are still interested in the reproduction of traditional gender stereotypes, but female storywriters in the field of transcendental literature have entered the changes made in their cognitive realm to the actions of characters of their stories. This reveals that they seek to understand their own self and place in the world around them. Love and loneliness resulted by the confrontation between men and women are a common theme in these works that have been narrated on the various issues arising from the family and social relationships of women.

Full textAbstract:
The rise of robots and robotics has proved to be a benefaction to humankind in different aspects. Robotics evolved from a simple button, has seen massive development over the years. Consequently, it has become an integral part of human life as robots are used for a wide range of applications ranging from indoor uses to interplanetary missions. Recently, the use of social robots, in commercial indoor spaces to offer help or social interaction with people, has been quite popular. As such, taking the increasing use of social robots into consideration, many works have been carried out to develop the robots to make them capable of acting like humans. The notion behind this development is the need for robots to offer services without being asked. Social robots should think more like humans and suggest possible and suitable actions by analyzing the environment where they are. Belief–desire–intention (BDI) is one of the most popular models for developing rational agents based on how humans act based on the information derived from an environment. As such, this work defines a foundation architecture to integrate a BDI framework into a social robot to add “act like a human” feature for proactive behaviors. The work validates the proposed architecture by developing a vision-based proactive action using the PROFETA BDI framework in an indoor social robot, Waldo, operated by the robot operating system (ROS).

Full textAbstract:
Cybercrimes often happened in social networking sites. Cyber-bullying is a form of cybercrime that recently trended in one of popular social networking sites, Twitter. The practice of cyber-bullying on teenager can cause depression, murderer or suicidal thoughts and it needs a preventing action so it will not harmful to the victim. To prevent cyber-bullying a text mining modelling can be done to classify tweets on Twitter into two classes, bullying class and not bullying class. On this research we use Naïve Bayes Classifier with five stages of pre-processing : replace tokens, transform case, tokenization, filter stopwords and n-grams. The validation process on this research used 10-Fold Cross Validation. To evaluate the performance of the model a Confusion Matrix table is used. The model on 10-Fold Cross Validation phase works well with 77,88% of precision , 94,75% of recall and 82,50% of accuracy with +/-5,12% of standard deviation.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of public solidarity through volunteer activities during the fight against the pandemic. At the beginning of the article, the phenomenon of volunteerism is considered as a new social institution that is ready to consolidate society, contribute to solving global problems and meet the challenges of our time. Further, the concept of solidarity in the works of outstanding scientists is considered, which leads to the conclusion that solidarity is the most important component of civil society. The empirical study uses inductive content analysis using marker words from nine of the most popular Russian press publications from March to August 2020, which describes the types of volunteer activities during the pandemic, provides statistics across the country, reviews the results of work, and identifies the problems faced by both volunteers and citizens in need of support. A detailed analysis of solidarity in the framework of the activities of pandemic volunteers was conducted using the example of the all-Russian volunteer action #WeAreTogether. In conclusion, the results of the study allow us to state the fact that the fight against the pandemic has become the most important factor in uniting the citizens of Russia, where public solidarity is one of the main components of the development of civil society.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter reviews the literature applying health behavior theories to indoor tanning. Few studies have tried to fit full versions of health behavior models to indoor tanning. Theoretical models from the family of theories referred to as the reasoned action approach (e.g., theory of planned behavior, behavioral alternative model, prototype willingness model, etc.) have been most commonly used to study indoor tanning. Results indicate that these models fit indoor tanning data moderately to extremely well. Two lesser known models, problem behavior theory and the terror management health model, have also demonstrated a reasonable fit. Two other common models, the health belief model and social cognitive theory, have never been fully tested with indoor tanning. However, key constructs from these models (e.g., perceived susceptibility and threat, modeling) have been used to understand indoor tanning. Empirical research conducted represents a solid start toward developing strong, comprehensive models of indoor tanning that can guide intervention efforts. This initial work needs to be expanded by conducting longitudinal studies and by including a broader age range in studies because the majority of existing work has focused on young adults. Incorporating findings related to tanning dependency, peer group affiliation, media influences and other constructs into these foundational models will also improve our understanding and ability to develop efficacious interventions to reduce engagement in this health risk behavior.

Full textAbstract:
Given that the National Institute of Health is currently focusing on a translational approach to research, the fields of clinical and social psychology have been coming together to foster mutual understandings of shared concepts. Acceptance and action, two processes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, are prevalent in the clinical research and literature following the advent of 3rd wave (cognitive and behavioral) therapies. During this same time self-compassion, or the concept that internal states should be accepted by the individual as only responses to the environment and that the individual should continue to act on value directed goals, has been gaining credibility in the social psychology literature. Self-compassion combines mindfulness, recognition of a common humanity, and self-kindness. The current study focuses on selfcompassion and acceptance and action.. These two concepts share similarities by way of encouraging the individual to look at situations and reactions objectively and accept the negative aspects as part of the human experience not as a reflection of self. These two concepts may be particularly relevant when dealing with a stigmatizing characteristic or situation. Specifically, the individual at risk for perceiving stigma may engage these tools to understand that others experience similar situations and that their internal reactions are part of the human condition. Thus, the implementation of such concepts could mitigate some of the negative aspects of stigma. The current study looks at self-compassion and acceptance and action in the context of parental reactions regarding their children’s behavioral concerns. Specifically, we look at parents’ stigma of their child’s behavior, stigma of seeking help for their child, and willingness to seek help. Initial analysis of this cross-sectional data revealed that among parents, higher scores on acceptance and action, as well as self-compassion, predicted lower perceived stigma of the problem behavior. Additionally, parents’ stigma of seeking help for their child’s behavior predicted willingness to seek help, suggesting that in addition to logistical barriers (e.g., transportation, availability of services) to seeking help for their children, parents may also face social psychological barriers. These findings identify specific concepts that may influence parents’ perception of stigma and willingness to seek services that can be targeted to increase service use for children with behavioral problems. Discussion will surround the specific settings in which parents are willing to seek services (doctor’s office versus mental health facility) and the roles of self-compassion and acceptance in reducing stigma in order to enhance service seeking.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines recent events in Oaxaca, Mexico that demonstrate the continued relevance of the spatiality of resistance for understanding social movement activism and alternative political projects. Arising out of a violent confrontation between state police and the striking teachers union, the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca created spaces of autonomy and resistance that challenged the legitimacy of the state. The fluid movement between a politics of demand, in which social actors force changes in the state apparatus, and a politics of the act, in which movements construct new forms of social relations in their own sites of activism, represents the dual nature of practices that attempt to alter spaces of resistance while at the same time negotiating with broader social structures. The movement in Oaxaca is an example of the possibilities of political projects that recognize the need to move beyond mere resistance to form creative alternatives.

Kassem, Majed. "Revolutionary Action in the Arab Spring: A Typological Theory on Popular Revolution." Thesis, NSUWorks, 2017. https://nsuworks.nova.edu/shss_dcar_etd/85.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation employs a qualitative case study approach to investigate the 2010-2012 Arab Spring. It addresses two research questions: 1) what are the Arab Spring events instances of, and 2) what gave rise to the variation across the Arab Spring outcomes? The ultimate objective of this research is to go beyond theorizing the Arab Spring to advance a typological theory on popular revolution. To that end, the study reviews several bodies of literature in the social sciences, and employs a structured, focused comparison approach to analyze variance across six Arab Spring cases: Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Syria, and Bahrain. As a result, four theoretical types of revolutionary action have been identified: elite-imposed popular evolution (EIPR), foreign-imposed popular revolution (FIPR), foreign-blocked abortive revolution (FBAR), and elite-blocked abortive revolution (EBAR). In addition, the research found EIPR to have been the case in Tunisia and Egypt, FIPR in Libya and Yemen, and FBAR in Syria and Bahrain; EBAR was an empty cell in the Arab Spring. Furthermore, the study proposes that cases of EIPR are likely to culminate in a quasi-coup by autonomous elites; FIPR in a foreign-imposed regime change (FIRC) by international intervention; FBAR in a foreign-imposed regime maintenance (FIRM) by foreign patrons; and EBAR in an elite-imposed regime maintenance (EIRM) by subservient elites. The contingent generalizations offered by this theory should help scholars and policy makers approximate the trajectory of future revolutionary events by tracing them to the above theoretical types. This should help them improve their overall response to recent and ongoing revolutionary events, especially in the area of conflict resolution.

Resumo: A presente dissertação de mestrado historiografa e analisa o movimento social contrário à instalação da Unidade Geradora de Energia Termelétrica Carioba II no município de Americana, estado de São Paulo, movimento este ocorrido no período correspondente ao Licenciamento Ambiental do empreendimento, que foi de 2000 a 2002. Através da realização de 42 entrevistas com lideranças do movimento em estudo, de levantamento de fontes documentais e de artigos e demais publicações veiculadas na imprensa, busca-se aprofundar o olhar nas características principais do fenômeno social estudado, em especial nas três cidades em que se manifestou com maior força, a saber: Americana, Santa Bárbara d¿Oeste e Piracicaba. Utilizam-se, principalmente, os ensinamentos de Alberto Melucci e Manuel Castells para o entendimento da nossa sociedade pós-industrial, dos movimentos sociais e da participação popular, aplicando estes ensinamentos ao movimento social contrário à Carioba II. Associam-se os efeitos da modernidade aos indivíduos, modificando as suas rotinas e a percepção de tempo e espaço, acentuando a individualização e a necessidade de se manter as citadas rotinas, entre outras conseqüências, enquanto obstáculos a sua adesão ao movimento social, adesão esta também influenciada pelos seus conhecimentos, experiências, crenças, redes sociais de que participa, entre outros fatores. Enfatiza-se o caráter plural, poli-classista e fragmentário, decorrente da resistência das comunidades locais, baseadas em sua identidade coletiva e nas tendências econômicas globalizantes, características essas oriundas e somente possíveis em sociedades complexas, pós-industriais e em rede. Abordam-se também a apropriação, a produção do conhecimento, pelos atores sociais pertencentes ao movimento, e a sua distribuição, utilizando inclusive as modernas tecnologias para a comunicação direta entre as lideranças do movimento e desta para com as suas bases
Abstract: The present master¿s dissertação analyzes the social movement against the installation of the Termo-Electric PlantEnergy of Carioba II in the city of Americana, state of São Paulo. The movement occurred in period during the Environmental Licensing of the plant between 2000 and 2002. Through the 42 interviews with leaders of the movement , a survey of documentary sources and articles and many publications in the local press, the study seeks to understand the main characteristics of the movement studied as it emerges in the three cities to be affected by the plant and where one finds the strength of the movement: Americana, Santa Bárbara d'Oeste and Piracicaba. We rely on the works of Alberto Melucci and Manuel Castells for theoretical support on the study of the social movement and the popular participation it mobilized in the case of the opposition to the Carioba II plant. We associate the effects of modernization through the Plant on the individuals, modifying their routines and perception of time and space, accenting the individualization and the necessity of if keeping their routines as excellent elements for their joining the social movement, also influenced by their knowledge, experiences, beliefs, social networks where theyt participated, among others factors. The emphasizes the plural, polyclass aspect of the movement and its fragmentary character, which emerges during the resistance of the local communities, as expressed in the collective identity with respect to the globalizing economic trends exemplified by the Plant. It also exams the appropriation and production of information for recruiting and securing social actors to the movement and its distribution of this information using concomitantly the modern technologies based on computer communication and the direct communication between the leadership of the movement and its base supporter

This dissertation is focused on the experiences which were lived and shared by a group of residents of Jardim Zaíra, in Maua, a city in ABC Paulista, São Paulo between the years 1958 and 1970. Our gaze turns to the experiences related to the urbanization of that place, the relationship of the residents with the Catholic Church and with the Neighborhood Friends Society , the participation of PCdoB members and later on, in 1968, the engagement of those people in a political movement called Popular Action, which through the process titled "integration in production" formed the cell-base-22 and encouraged the militancy against dictatorial government outrages present in Brazil that time .Through Oral History, we tried to analyze testimonials from 11 people who were related to that movement. We also present an assessment of 6 photos that rescue the daily life of those residents as well as the analysis of texts that bring us the vision of their leaders and the analysis of documents produced by the organs of repression that deal about their arrests and trial. The aim is to contribute towards the understanding about the social movement before and after the arrival of Popular Action members to that neighborhood as well as the reasons that brought them there and the experiences derived from this encounter. Similarly, we present the analysis of the CB-22 dismantling. We understand the importance of this movement and its ability to influence others later which helped ABC Paulista region to be known nationally because of the struggles for democracy. In times of Truth Commission, the research aims to broaden discussions not only of social movements, but also about the abuses caused by the organs of repression
Esta dissertação tem como tema central as experiências vividas e compartilhadas por um grupo de moradores do Jardim Zaíra, município de Mauá, região do ABC Paulista, estado de São Paulo, entre os anos de 1958 e 1970. Nosso olhar se volta para as experiências relacionadas ao processo de urbanização daquele lugar, as relações dos moradores junto à Igreja Católica e à Sociedade Amigos de Bairro, a participação de membros do PCdoB e posteriormente, em 1968, o engajamento daquelas pessoas num movimento político intitulado Ação Popular, o qual por meio do processo intitulado integração na produção formou no bairro a Célula-base-22 e incentivou a militância contra as arbitrariedades do governo ditatorial presente no Brasil naquela época. Por meio da História Oral, procuramos analisar depoimentos de 11 pessoas que estiveram relacionadas àquele movimento. Apresentamos também a apreciação de 6 fotos que resgatam o cotidiano daqueles moradores, bem como, a análise de textos que trazem a visão de suas lideranças e a análise de documentos produzidos pelos órgãos de repressão que tratam sobre suas prisões e julgamento. Pretende-se assim contribuir para compreensão a cerca do movimento social antes e depois da chegada dos membros da Ação Popular àquele bairro, bem como os motivos que os levaram até lá e as experiências oriundas desse encontro. Do mesmo modo apresentamos a análise sobre o desmantelamento da CB-22. Compreendemos a importância desse movimento e sua capacidade de posteriormente influenciar outros, que tornaram a região do ABC Paulista conhecida nacionalmente devido às lutas em prol da democracia. Em tempos de Comissão da Verdade a pesquisa visa ampliar as discussões não só dos movimentos sociais, mas dos abusos causados pelos órgãos de repressão

Abstract This chapter interrogates the increasingly popular notion of waithood, and particularly the idea that most young people are stuck permanently in waithood because they cannot enter the labour market. Based on empirical data gathered from young rural women and men in Uganda, Ethiopia and Nigeria, the meaning of farming and other economic activities in their lives, particularly in relation to social status, is presented. Other avenues for claim making on social recognition, status and respect are then analysed, with a focus on marriage, family life, and active citizenship. Throughout the chapter the gendered nature of the process of becoming a social adult is emphasized.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter explores intertextual and intermedial encounters between imaginative literature and archaeological knowledge in Western Europe in the second half of the twelfth century. Several of the popular ‘romans d’antiquités’ from this period, such as the anonymous Roman d’Eneas (c. 1160), Benoît de Sainte-Maure’s Roman de Troie (c. 1165), and Heinrich von Veldeke’s Eneit (1170–1788), feature elaborate ekphrastic descriptions of the tombs of legendary heroes and warriors. Although the romances of antiquity are works of fiction, their descriptions of ancient burial practices reflect the influence of written accounts of actual tomb openings and exhumations in the preceding century. Thus, the description of the burial of Pallas in the Roman d’Eneas is partly modeled on the chronicler William of Malmesbury’s account of the discovery of the ‘real’ tomb of Pallas in Rome, c. 1045. Similarly, in the Roman de Troie, the tomb of Hector with its distinctive enthroned burial is based in part on accounts of the opening of the tomb of Charlemagne by Otto III in the year 1000. Reading these romances alongside their archaeological intertexts sheds new light on the complex historical awareness of these literary works and the interpretative communities that received them.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter turns to social media platforms and looks at the figure of the sad girl as she emerged online as an indirect response to a popular culture overtly focused on happiness. It discusses how she appeared on primarily Tumblr and Instagram, exploring the general sad girl discourses on these platforms as well as some examples that received extra attention. These include the artist Audrey Wollen and her sad girl theory, the girl group Sad Girls Y Qué, the Instagram club Sad Girls Club, the social media brand My Therapist Says, and prominent Instagram accounts. Here I look at the critical and acritical tendencies within the figure, acknowledging both the potentially subversive aspects of the activist-oriented sad girls and the more commercialized versions of popular sad girls. This chapter explores how Tumblr sad girls might be seen as resting in sadness; how relatability is employed as a political strategy by some Instagram sad girls; the ambivalence of normalization; and the limits of using commercial social media platforms for meaningful social action.

Abstract A mode of communicative behavior and a type of communicative event. While the term may be employed in an aesthetically neutral sense to designate the actual conduct of communication (as opposed to the potential for communicative action), performance usually suggests an aesthetically marked and heightened mode of communication, framed in a special way and put on display for an audience. The analysis of performance-in deed, the very conduct of performance-highlights the social, cultural, and aesthetic dimensions of the communicative process. In one common usage performance is the actual execution of an action as opposed to capacities, models, or other factors that represent the potential for such action or an abstraction from it. In the performing arts this distinction can be seen in the contrast between composed guidelines or models for artistic presentations, such as playscripts or musical scores, and the presentational rendition of those works before an audience.

Abstract The scholarly literature on popular collective action contains plenty of good descriptions and numerous general models, but leaves a gap between the two. Analysts who want to build serious theoretical foundations for the treatment of concrete social movements and real revolutions must work with defective theoretical apparatus, while theorists who start with models must adopt simplified, conventional accounts of well-known events, without developing new insights into the events. While our theories will always gain from new, insightful descriptions, at present we have a greater need for superior models and theories.

Full textAbstract:
The historian Michael Attaleiates was a judge and well-connected political agent active in eleventh-century Byzantium. The opinions he expressed in his historical work, but also in the synopsis of Roman law he dedicated to Michael VII and the monastic charter he produced to organize a privately owned pious foundation, become here entry points for the study of his take on the social and political reality around him. This chapter offers a short biographical sketch of our protagonist, who emerges as a patriotic Roman, who casts a sympathetic eye on popular political action. It then studies Attaleiates as a social and economic agent, looking at his active participation Byzantium’s economy only to reveal a confident investor and builder of a personal fortune. Here is also examined the ways in which Attaleiates’ take on foreign mercenaries outlines a readiness to accommodate others in a Roman polity. Finally, a study of his social circles considers how intellectual affinities and friendships developed, while serving the state and the emperor allowed for the development of a fluid and ever-adjustable politics of accommodation. All in all, we have here an updated portrait of an important figure in eleventh-century intellectual circles.

The digitization of displaced archives is of great historical and cultural significance. Through the construction of digital humanistic platforms represented by MISS Platform, and the comprehensive application of IIIF technology, knowledge graph technology, ontology technology, and other popular information technologies. We can find that the digital framework of displaced archives built through the MISS platform can promote the establishment of a standardized cooperation and dialogue mechanism between the archives’ authorities and other government departments. At the same time, it can embed the works of archives in the construction of digital government and the economy, promote the exploration of the integration of archives management, data management, and information resource management, and ultimately promote the construction of a digital society. By fostering a new partnership between archives departments and enterprises, think tanks, research institutes, and industry associations, the role of multiple social subjects in the modernization process of the archives governance system and governance capacity will be brought into play. The National Archives Administration has launched a special operation to recover scattered archives overseas, drawing up a list and a recovery action plan for archives lost to overseas institutions and individuals due to war and other reasons. Through the National Archives Administration, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Justice, specific recovery work is carried out by studying and working on international laws.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The Russian-Ukrainian war has unprecedented features of information warfare, which is happening online and involves a wide range of participants. The need for timely and accurate information about events in Ukraine and effective control of disinformation has only intensified with the full-scale invasion. Ukrainian media have had to quickly adapt to new conditions, find new ways of gathering information, and learn to work in the absence of security guarantees. Telegram is the most popular social media platform among users in Ukraine, followed by Facebook and YouTube. With the full-scale invasion, Telegram becomes a key platform for searching and exchanging information. However, the platform is controversial because it is not a source of information itself but rather a place where information is posted. Therefore, there is a need for critical thinking and information verification. Purpose: The purpose of this article is to examine the role of social media in war and specify the peculiarities of social media usage in Ukraine after a full-scale invasion. Methods: secondary analysis of sociological researches devoted to the analysis of social networks in Ukraine in 2022-2023. Conclusion: Social media and internet resources have become important tools in the information war. On the one hand, social media has begun to play a role in citizen monitoring, data collection and analysis, organizing humanitarian aid, and coordinating the actions of various groups and organizations. On the other hand, the risks of information warfare have intensified with the popularity of social media, including the spread of disinformation and fake news, privacy and confidentiality violations, including monitoring and spying, and an increase in cyber attacks. Keywords: social networks, social media, information warfare, Telegram.

Full textAbstract:
En América Latina, la implantación del neoliberalismo como sistema económico ha llevado a un
modelo de desarrollo con elevada heterogeneidad y desigualdad socioeconómica. De la mano
de grandes cambios sociales y demográficos, las áreas urbanas experimentaron un acelerado
desarrollo, crecimiento económico desigual en la distribución del ingreso, el aumento del
desempleo y altos niveles de informalidad urbana.
Enmarcado en esta realidad la producción del espacio urbano, se llevó adelante a través de la
gestión de tres actores sociales: 1.el mercado inmobiliario; 2. el Estado nacional y 3. los
asentamientos informales.
De ellos, el estado cumple un rol fundamental en la construcción de la ciudad encauzando o
restringiendo el desarrollo de ciertos espacios ya sea a través de la acción (implementación de
políticas públicas, normativas, etc.) o de la omisión.
En un contexto en el que persiste la ausencia de planificación, la carencia de un marco que
defina el modo de ocupación del territorio, impone la lógica del mercado inmobiliario como
criterio urbanístico principal, incluso para las actuaciones de promoción pública de vivienda.
Ello impacta de modo negativo en la ciudad en la medida que favorece la especulación en
manos del sector privado, produce segregación residencial y desigualdad en el acceso al suelo
puesto que amplios sectores quedan fuera del mercado formal. Lo cual se tradujo en la
conformación de áreas diferenciadas dentro de la ciudad agudizando la separación entre
sectores sociales.
A partir del 2003, en Argentina en virtud al crecimiento económico que se produce con
posterioridad a la crisis 2001-2002, el Estado Nacional retomó los planes de vivienda a fin de
dar solución al problema habitacional haciendo hincapié en programas de relocalización,
radicación y regularización dominial de villas y asentamientos informales, articulando con
trabajo cooperativo que implicaba la intervención una medida conjunta con el problema de
desocupación.
A las existentes políticas habitaciones de construcción de viviendas ejecutadas por los
Institutos Provinciales de Vivienda (IPV), se sumaron un conjunto de políticas sociales que
articulan programas de diversos órdenes, nacional, municipal, provincial y del IPV. (Argentina
Trabaja, Municipio+Cerca, PROMEVI, PROMEBA, etc) enlazando la problemática habitacional
a la social.
Sin embargo estas medidas no revierten el sentido dominante que poseen las políticas públicas
en materia de vivienda (del Río y Duarte, 2012) puesto que la construcción de viviendas sin sustento normativo ni planificación, o la consolidación y regularización de asentamientos
populares en áreas vulnerables, lejos de mitigar las desigualdades existentes, producen
efectos negativos en la ciudad.
En este contexto, este trabajo analiza las consecuencias de las nuevas políticas habitacionales
en el Área Metropolitana de Tucumán (AmeT), a casi 10 años de implementación de un
conjunto de medidas sociales específicas, en teoría tendientes a la equidistribución del acceso
al suelo urbano. In Latin America, the implementation of neoliberalism as an economic system has led to a
development model with high heterogeneity and socioeconomic inequality.
The adoption of policies of liberalization, deregulation and economic flexibility, along with the
withdrawal of the state of urban management, major changes occurred in the cities.
In the hands of great social and demographic change, urban areas experienced rapid
development, uneven economic growth in the distribution of income, rising unemployment and
high levels of urban informality.
Framed in this reality, the production of urban space, was carried out by the management of
three social actors: 1.The real estate market; 2 and 3 the national state informal settlements.
Of these, the state plays a key role in building the city damming or restricting the development
of certain areas either through action (implementation of public policies, regulations, etc.) or
omission.
Therefore, in a context in which the lack of planning continues, the lack of a framework defining
how land occupation imposes the logic of urban real estate market as the main criterion, even
for actions of public housing development.
This impacts negatively on the city to the extent that speculation favors the private sector,
produce residential segregation and inequality in access to land as large sections remain
outside the formal market. Which results in the formation of distinct areas within the city
exacerbating the gap between social sectors.
In Argentina, under the economic growth that occurs after the 2001-2002 crisis, the Federal
Government returned home plans to solve the housing problem but with a twist to the social, to
meet the needs of the most vulnerable sectors of society.
From being solely residential construction (turnkey system) executed by the Provincial Housing
Institutes (IPV), policies will be passed to a set of social policies that articulate programs of
various orders, domestic, municipal, provincial and IPV. (Argentina Works, Municipality + Close,
PROMEVI, PROMEBA Law Pierri implementation of regularization, etc.) that link to social
housing problems.
However, this has not had the expected results in relation to urban problems.
While the need for regional planning was promoted through the PET National and Provincial
(Regional Strategic Plan), all implemented programs were developed without proper management tools to define the criteria for the consolidation and development from the Federal
Government city and thus ended conspiring against it, as a stage of collective life. The lack of
training of local technicians, the use of these programs clientelitas purposes by local politicians
and rampant corruption, contributed to aggravating the observed trends.
This suggests that the construction of new housing or consolidation or regularization of squatter
settlements in vulnerable areas without legal justification and planning, far from mitigating the
inequalities, negative effects on the city.
Under this hypothesis, this paper analyzes the impact of new housing policies in the
Metropolitan Area of Tucumán (AMET), nearly 10 years of implementing a set of tending to the
equal distribution of access to urban land social measures.
It is concluded that the actions taken by the State produced an increase and consolidate the
processes of fragmentation and emerging socio-spatial segregation of Tucuman AMET.

Altmetric research has seen its horizons expanded to the heterogeneity of interactions produced between scientific and non-scientific entities. In this context, Wikipedia stands out as a social media of particular interest as the page views of its articles have proven to be a valuable metric of social attention. The aim of this paper is to contribute to this new research stream by analysing whether the research topics of greatest academic interest align with those that attract the most social attention. To this end, the OpenAlex concepts are explored by comparing their works count with the page views of their respective Wikipedia articles. As a result, a correlation analysis between the two metrics reveals a lack of connection between the two realms. Likewise, root-level concepts are explored to illustrate such a difference.

Background: The majority of emotional experiences arise in response to the satisfaction or dissatisfaction of personal needs. Hence, one cannot ignore the person’s emotional experiences in the study of his/her social behavior. Models for explaining social actions and social processes that ignore the actors’ emotions cannot be considered relevant. Purpose: To investigate, on the basis of concepts of «emotion work» and «emotional labor» by A.R. Hochschild the role of the emotional component in the professional activity of social work specialists during the war. since social work is based on deep action (according to A.R. Hochschild’s classification) and the presence of certain personal qualities, which is manifested in some features inherent in this profession. Methods: The theoretical method of research was to analyze the documents used to study the works of scientists who researched the social nature of emotions: on the one hand, they are the results of social processes that require sociological explanation; on the other, they function as causes of the social processes, necessary to explain the very principles of social behavior. Conclusion: In the social workers professional activities, emotions are important. Due to the activities specifics, professionals are often required to imitate certain emotions (perform emotion work). At the same time, social work involves the implementation of including emotional labor, which is based on deep action (according to the classification of A.R. Hochschild) and the presence of certain personal qualities associated with the profession characteristics. Keywords: social work, social work specialists, professional activity, emotional labour, emotional work.

El Museo Dialoga: el museo y la sociedad en comunicación crítica. Autores: MSc. Luis Pablo Orozco Varela[1] Sra. Mariana Blanco Ortiz[2] Sr. Gustavo Campos Fonseca[3] Sra. María Cubillo González[4] Sr. Javier Nuñez Marín[5]. Resumen La ponencia consiste en compartir y analizar en profundidad el quehacer comunicativo del Museo de Cultura Popular de la Escuela de Historia de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica, específicamente a partir de la iniciativa de diálogo virtual denominada “#elmuseodialoga”, la cual ha potencializado la presencia del museo en las redes sociales académicas y ha contribuido a potenciar enlaces dialógicos con académicos, dentro y fuera de la universidad, así como con actores de la sociedad civil en su conjunto. Esta iniciativa surgió ante el desafío presentado por la pandemia COVID 19 con el fin de potencializar acciones de extensión y difusión de carácter virtual por medio del uso de las redes sociales con las que cuenta el museo, por ejemplo, el canal de youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter y linkedin. Para ello, académicos que laboran en el museo y estudiantes de la Escuela de Historia, han aunado esfuerzos en pro de generar una alternativa de comunicación acorde a los nuevos desafíos de la virtualidad. En ese sentido, se ha potenciado a lo largo de poco más de un año, cuarenta ediciones de diálogo virtual, contando con invitados tanto nacionales, como internacionales, esto último dentro de la modalidad #elmuseodialogainternacional. El espacio de diálogo cuenta con tres ejes trasversales que permiten cubrir un amplio espectro de posibilidades temáticas: a) Cultura popular, historia, arte y patrimonio, b) difusión del quehacer académico y c) temas de actualidad nacional e internacional. En el primer eje abordamos todo lo relativo a patrimonio cultural, materia e inmaterial, tradiciones, cultores populares, arte costarricense, entre otros. A partir del segundo eje, trabajamos en difundir el aporte de investigaciones de académicos tanto de la UNA como de otras universidades nacionales e internacional, con el fin de divulgar a públicos más amplios la contribución del conocimiento producido por las universidades a la sociedad en su conjunto. En el caso del tercer eje, reforzamos la relación pasado-presente, generando espacios de lectura de la realidad nacional e internacional, abriendo también horizontes de prospectiva. Palabras claves: Comunicación, Pedagogía, Cultura contemporánea, Patrimonio Cultural, Historia. The Museum Dialogues: the museum and society in critical communication. Resume The presentation consists of sharing and analyzing in depth the communicative work of the Museum of Popular Culture of the School of History of the National University of Costa Rica, specifically from the virtual dialogue initiative called "#elmuseodialoga", which has potentiated the presence of the museum in academic social networks and has contributed to fostering dialogic links with academics, inside and outside the university, as well as with actors from civil society as a whole. This initiative arose in order to enhance virtual extension and dissemination actions through the use of social networks that the museum has, for example, the YouTube channel, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn. To this end, academics who work at the museum and students from the School of History have joined forces to generate a communication alternative in line with the new challenges of virtuality. In this sense, forty editions of virtual dialogue have been promoted over the course of just over a year, with both national and international guests, the latter within the #elmuseodialogainternacional modality. The dialogue space has three transversal axes that allow covering a wide spectrum of thematic possibilities: a) Popular culture, history, art and heritage, b) dissemination of academic work and c) current national and international issues. In the first axis we address everything related to cultural heritage, material and immaterial, traditions, popular cultists, Costa Rican art, among others. From the second axis, we work on disseminating the contribution of academic research from both the UNA and other national and international universities, in order to disclose to wider audiences, the contribution of the knowledge produced by universities to society as a whole. In the case of the third axis, we reinforce the past-present relationship, generating spaces for reading the national and international reality, also opening prospective horizons.

The report examines the phenomenon of so-called "semiotic cults" — communities of like-minded people formed around works of popular culture, both literary and visual (films, cartoons, comics, etc.) and having features of a religious cult. This issue seems to be especially relevant in the context of the digital age, in the context of the widespread use of social networks and the adoption of a paradigm for determining the value of content through "feedback" expressed in likes, comments and the number of subscribers. As an example of such a para-religious movement, the community of "Disney adults" formed around Disney products is cited.

Graph embeddings have gained huge popularity in the recent years as a powerful tool to analyze social networks. However, no prior works have studied potential bias issues inherent within graph embedding. In this paper, we make a first attempt in this direction. In particular, we concentrate on the fairness of node2vec, a popular graph embedding method. Our analyses on two real-world datasets demonstrate the existence of bias in node2vec when used for friendship recommendation. We, therefore, propose a fairness-aware embedding method, namely Fairwalk, which extends node2vec. Experimental results demonstrate that Fairwalk reduces bias under multiple fairness metrics while still preserving the utility.

Full textAbstract:
In the new media environment, women are no longer the recipients of information, but rather the producers and consumers of information. The media image of women has become more diverse. Tik Tok is a product of the rapid development of new media, where women are empowered in many aspects of production, performance, distribution and reception. In many Tik Tok videos, women express themselves, with topics ranging from beauty and dressing to work and even gender relations. While this is a somewhat new look compared to the past, Chinese women are still influenced by traditional culture and there is still a hidden power manipulation behind it.
The study of Tik Tok is relevant to the construction of equal gender relations in Tik Tok and other short social videos. At the same time, as the age group of Tik Tok users is young, it helps us to understand the contemporary media position of women in the social video sphere.
This study collects the participation of some active female users in Tik Tok on public issues, analyses the most popular female short videos posted by female users in Tik Tok, and examines the media image of female users in Tik Tok platform using a qualitative research approach, supplemented by quantitative research. In this way, we analyse whether women's right to express themselves is being realised unconsciously and whether there is a qualitative improvement in the expression of women's voices compared to the traditional media era.

While shock-responsive social protection (SRSP) has become popular in global and national development discourses, its operationalisation in fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCAS) remains more limited, yet it is arguably here where it could meaningfully contribute to wider nexus approaches. By exploring experiences in a range of countries, the paper explores what is known about the use of SRSP in FCAS, and identifies further areas of potential research for the BASIC Research programme. It also assesses the state of knowledge regarding a number of key questions being raised among stakeholders, namely: What is known about navigating the ethical and political dilemmas around attempting SRSP in FCAS? What is known about the specific requirements for displaced populations and other excluded or vulnerable groups? What is known about when it might be ill-advised to attempt SRSP in FCAS?

Participatory research challenges the academic tradition in which the scientist is at the center of decisions in the research process. Inspired by popular education, this approach allows members of the community to question their living conditions and develop solutions to improve them from a social justice perspective. These guides were developed and tested as part of two participatory action research projects carried out by Oxfam-Québec with young people (18–30 years old). The two guides provide the key steps to carry out research, build a questionnaire, develop a collective action plan and measure the impacts of the actions implemented.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines Mozambican popular music to investigate three questions: Are notions of empowerment and accountability present in popular music in Mozambique? If so, what can these existing notions of empowerment and accountability reveal about relations between citizens and state institutions in general and about citizen-led social and political action in particular? In what ways is popular music used to support citizen mobilisation in Mozambique? The discussion is based on an analysis of 46 protest songs, interviews with musicians, music producers and event promoters as well as field interviews and observations among audiences at selected popular music concerts and public workshops in Maputo city. Secondary data were drawn from radio broadcasts, digital media, and social networks. The songs analysed were widely played in the past two decades (1998–2018), a period in which three different presidents led the country. Our focus is on the protest song, conceived as those musical products that are concerned with public affairs, particularly public policy and how it affects citizens’ social, political and economic life, and the relationship between citizens and the state.

Full textAbstract:
The world is urgently facing the need for a “green transformation”, involving not only a transition towards the use renewable energy and reduction of biodiversity loss, but a deep social change towards social justice and sustainability. Such action requires social compromises between elites and popular sectors that allow the building of strong institutions to implement changes. Latin America is faced with huge tasks to increase equality, justice and sustainability, but it also plays a pivotal role in the global green transformation. The region is further characterized by both strong elites, strong socio-environmental movements and deep environmental conflicts making social compromises difficult. This Working Paper discusses elite reactions to the most advanced regional agreement on environmental regulation and conflict resolution, the Escazù Agreement. In many countries, elites opposed it vehemently referring to national sovereignty, but particularly rejecting the institutional implications of the agreement involving a stronger compromise to allow popular participation. This was opposed by economic elites in democratic countries (Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica and Peru) as well as governmental elites in authoritarian countries (El Salvador and Venezuela). However, in various cases, elite opposition was overcome after popular mobilization and dialogue. The paper discusses what we can learn from elite reactions to the Escazú Agreement of importance for future social compromises as a basis for the emergence for transformative states in Latin America.

Full textAbstract:
The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under five key headings: HUMANITY The Panel recommends recognition that research in this field should be geared towards the development of critical understandings of self and society in the modern world. Archaeological research into the modern past should be ambitious in seeking to contribute to understanding of the major social, economic and environmental developments through which the modern world came into being. Modern-world archaeology can add significantly to knowledge of Scotland’s historical relationships with the rest of the British Isles, Europe and the wider world. Archaeology offers a new perspective on what it has meant to be a modern person and a member of modern society, inhabiting a modern world. MATERIALITY The Panel recommends approaches to research which focus on the materiality of the recent past (i.e. the character of relationships between people and their material world). Archaeology’s contribution to understandings of the modern world lies in its ability to situate, humanise and contextualise broader historical developments. Archaeological research can provide new insights into the modern past by investigating historical trends not as abstract phenomena but as changes to real lives, affecting different localities in different ways. Archaeology can take a long-term perspective on major modern developments, researching their ‘prehistory’ (which often extends back into the Middle Ages) and their material legacy in the present. Archaeology can humanise and contextualise long-term processes and global connections by working outwards from individual life stories, developing biographies of individual artefacts and buildings and evidencing the reciprocity of people, things, places and landscapes. The modern person and modern social relationships were formed in and through material environments and, to understand modern humanity, it is crucial that we understand humanity’s material relationships in the modern world. PERSPECTIVE The Panel recommends the development, realisation and promotion of work which takes a critical perspective on the present from a deeper understanding of the recent past. Research into the modern past provides a critical perspective on the present, uncovering the origins of our current ways of life and of relating to each other and to the world around us. It is important that this relevance is acknowledged, understood, developed and mobilised to connect past, present and future. The material approach of archaeology can enhance understanding, challenge assumptions and develop new and alternative histories. Modern Scotland: Archaeology, the Modern past and the Modern present vi Archaeology can evidence varied experience of social, environmental and economic change in the past. It can consider questions of local distinctiveness and global homogeneity in complex and nuanced ways. It can reveal the hidden histories of those whose ways of life diverged from the historical mainstream. Archaeology can challenge simplistic, essentialist understandings of the recent Scottish past, providing insights into the historical character and interaction of Scottish, British and other identities and ideologies. COLLABORATION The Panel recommends the development of integrated and collaborative research practices. Perhaps above all other periods of the past, the modern past is a field of enquiry where there is great potential benefit in collaboration between different specialist sectors within archaeology, between different disciplines, between Scottish-based researchers and researchers elsewhere in the world and between professionals and the public. The Panel advocates the development of new ways of working involving integrated and collaborative investigation of the modern past. Extending beyond previous modes of inter-disciplinary practice, these new approaches should involve active engagement between different interests developing collaborative responses to common questions and problems. REFLECTION The Panel recommends that a reflexive approach is taken to the archaeology of the modern past, requiring research into the nature of academic, professional and public engagements with the modern past and the development of new reflexive modes of practice. Archaeology investigates the past but it does so from its position in the present. Research should develop a greater understanding of modern-period archaeology as a scholarly pursuit and social practice in the present. Research should provide insights into the ways in which the modern past is presented and represented in particular contexts. Work is required to better evidence popular understandings of and engagements with the modern past and to understand the politics of the recent past, particularly its material aspect. Research should seek to advance knowledge and understanding of the moral and ethical viewpoints held by professionals and members of the public in relation to the archaeology of the recent past. There is a need to critically review public engagement practices in modern-world archaeology and develop new modes of public-professional collaboration and to generate practices through which archaeology can make positive interventions in the world. And there is a need to embed processes of ethical reflection and beneficial action into archaeological practice relating to the modern past.
