Full textAbstract:
Representational symbols of religious identity are open resource of meaning. Instead of reconstructing meaning, interpretation is a recollection of cultural traditions. Therefore, disputes over symbols occur because of conflicting values, perceptions, and worldviews. However, cultural traditions are not static dogmas preserved in religious cultural memory. They are dynamic because they are also influenced by contemporary relations between groups. This paper argues for the fluidity of construction meaning of symbols and the role of social interaction and synthesize two ideas. First, Roland Barthes' view on a social semiotic approach to representational symbol will be raised. Second, the idea of symbolic interaction that meaning is a social construction, defined through interactions between collectives, and manifested in the form of actions following interpretations that arise within the subject of meaning. Finally, the author will formulate a recursive semiotic model as a synthesis of the two discussed approaches. The fluidity of meaning will appear through the definition and redefinition that occur in the recursive process. The conclusion to be drawn is that social relations are the key to the formulation of symbolic meaning.

The objective of the article was to analyze the actions as an object of civil law regulation. The market contributes to the accumulation of capital and its transformation into investment resources for the financing of the productive and social spheres, which improves the general well-being of the population. Meanwhile, the legal nature of the shares has not yet been clearly defined in Russian law and there is, consequently, a dichotomy in the choice of ways to protect the owners of securities, including shares. For the development of the research, methods such as synthesis, theoretical analysis, abstraction, deduction, induction, classification, comparative law, refutation were used. Based on the legal acts that regulate the stock market, a comprehensive study of the problems of legal regulation of the rotation of shares is carried out, to determine the prospects for development and ways to improve the legal regulation of shares, as well as to look for ways to protect the rights of securities holders. Among the most significant results, the legal nature of the action was revealed, the meaning of categories such as: document, security and action was cleared, and the definition of action was formulated.

Full textAbstract:
What an ‘independent’ judiciary means in a democratic society is a complex question, bringing in such elements as the governing of high courts, recruitment of judges, and their susceptibility to disciplinary action. Those subjects are not isolated items but components of a wider system, with its functioning ruled by political principles. Therefore, it is essential to identify the ideological conceptions beneath the diverse theses offered. The paper examines recent events in Poland and Spain that offer valuable data to illustrate the problem. In synthesis, two broad theoretical tendencies emerge: on one side, judges ought to be controlled by politicians, at least to a certain extent, in aims of safeguarding the democratic foundations of the Constitutional legal frame; on the other side, the emphasis is on judicial self-government as a means of preserving courts from corruption associated with pressure exerted by political, economic, or social lobbies. The paper presents a proposed solution to the controversy, involving characterisation of the minimum standards for a free judiciary in a democratic legal order, and for detecting the risks inherent to both politicisation and corporatism. The model is constructed by means of legal methodology that entails comparison among legal systems of different sorts in light of international documents, among them reports by the Council of Europe. A particularly significant contrast is visible in the distance between Continental and Common Law traditions, illuminated via consideration also of the United States.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIndian thought conceives of life in four normative stages: of student, householder, forest-dweller and renouncer. A metaphysical theory related to the conception of life-stages is that of the ends or purposes of life: appropriate conduct, material well-being, physical satisfaction and liberation. The theory of the ends of life is reconstructed here in the light of contemporary philosophical discussions about the meaning of life. The first three ends are part of a world-oriented attitude; the last end, of world-transcending contemplation. Among age-neutral and age-specific ways of relating life stages and life ends, that of taking old age as the time for the renunciatory stage is important and is examined in the context of the two main theories of meaning: world-oriented and world-transcending. Old age is secondary to earlier stages in a world-oriented theory, more significant in the world-transcendent one. However, both theories, seen independently, are paradoxical. In a synthesis, the world-transcendence of renunciation in old age is paramount in Indian thought, but worldly action is significant because renunciation depends on the richness of the life renounced. This reconstruction of an ancient ideal is offered as a philosophical paradigm for transculturally relevant attitudes to life in old age.

Full textAbstract:
The relational and intersubjective model of subjectivity does not deny the subject, neither does the self-narrating exercise of synthesis of the heterogeneous evade the identity question. It is the role of language to found the meaning of ipseity, to articulate the needs and desires, to organize the dispersion experienced, and to tie action to moral principles of social responsibility. Reflection and self-reflection structure the human experiences of recognition. The correlation between the idea of freedom of individual choice and the idea of collective responsibility is the opportunity for the affirmation of each one and for the establishment of reciprocity between everyone. Within this context, the dialogue between Ricœur, Honneth and Sen proves to be very inspiring.

Full textAbstract:
Rich understandings of the phenomenon, urban household food waste (HFW), are critical to realizing the vision of sustainable, inclusive human settlement. In 2018/19, an exploratory study of HFW perceptions and practices of a diversity of urban residents, was conducted in the Bezuidenhout neighborhood, The Hague (Netherlands). Nineteen participants, communicating in one of three languages, as per their preference, participated through-out this visually enhanced study. The sequential “Snap-Send-Share-Story” qualitative, participatory action research (PAR) inspired methodology, employed in the study, is introduced in this paper. Focus groups (“Story”) which resourced and followed photovoice individual interviews (“Snap-Send-Share”) are principally emphasized. Three focus groups were conducted viz. Dutch (n = 7), English (n = 7) and Arabic (n = 5), within a narrative, photo elicitation style. Explicit and tacit, sensitive, private and seemingly evident yet hard to succinctly verbalize interpretations of HFW—shared and contested—were expressed through group stories. Participants accessed a stream of creativity, from photographing HFW in the privacy of their homes to co-constructing stories in the social research space of focus groups. Stories went beyond the content of the photographs to imagine zero HFW. This approach encouraged critical interaction, awareness of HFW, reflexive synthesis of meaning and deliberations regard social and ecological action.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this study is to critically synthesize and integrate conceptual and empirical research on the behavioral perspective on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and explain why it is useful and necessary, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors explain why CSR can result in both positive and negative outcomes and provide future research directions and recommendations for practice and policymaking. Design/methodology/approach This study focuses on critical literature review and synthesis. Findings CSR policies in response to COVID-19 are created by organizations but are implemented by individual employees. The way employees perceive and react to CSR actions are key determinants of CSR’s implementation and success. CSR can be embedded within or peripheral to a firm’s core functioning. While embedded CSR is linked to several positive outcomes if correctly implemented together with employees, peripheral CSR is linked to “the dark side” of CSR and can result in negative employee outcomes. Practical implications Using the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors detail types of CSR actions that governments and organizations can implement and their relative effectiveness; why “one size fits all” top-down CSR does not work; how firms can use human resource management practices to re-engage employees through finding meaning in work; and the “dark side” of CSR. Social implications Using the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors detail types of CSR actions that governments and organizations can implement and their relative effectiveness; why “one size fits all” top-down CSR does not work; how firms can use human resource management practices to re-engage employees through finding meaning in work; and the “dark side” of CSR. Originality/value CSR research has focused mostly on why and when firms choose to engage in CSR. A behavioral perspective on CSR facilitates, through an employee-centric conceptual framework, a deeper understanding of when and why employee reactions lead to positive and unintended negative outcomes, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Full textAbstract:
Creswell (2014) noted that qualitative research is an approach for exploring and understanding the meaning individuals or groups ascribe to a social or human problem. The article embodies a critical analysis of chapters one to twelve of Stake (2010). In chapter one, Qualitative research: How things work is seen as qualitative, is based on a comprehensive aim seeking to answer the questions why and how. It analyzes actions and interactions, taking into account the intentions of the actors. An analytic perspective on the interpretation of the Person as an instrument is the thrust of chapter two. Chapter three examines the experiential understanding: Most qualitative study is experiential, in this chapter stake (2010) discusses two common research approaches, qualitative and quantitative methods. Chapter four Stating the Problem: Questioning How This Thing Works. Chapter five deals with the Methods-Gatherings Data, while chapter six illuminates the Review of Literature: Zooming to See the Problem. In chapter seven, the author implores the evidence: Bolstering Judgment and Reconnoitering. Chapter eight propels Analysis and Synthesis: How Things Work. Chapter nine acts as a mirror that invites the researcher to examine their action research and Self-Evaluation: Finding our Own How our Place Works. Finally, in chapters ten to twelve, the author compels Storytelling: Illustrating How Things Work, Writing the Final Report: An Iterative Convergence, and Advocacy and Ethics: Making Things Work Better. This work is expected to guide future researchers in developing their research in qualitative research.

The article considers the problem of the formation of the world outlook among junior pupils in the study of an integrated course «I Explore the World». The concept of the «world outlook» is substantiated from different perspectives, types of world outlook (folk, scientific, everyday, theoretical, individual, mass) are distinguished and characterized. The basic structural elements of the outlook (views, representation, knowledge, beliefs, deeds) are substantiated.It is determined that the world outlook is a system of principles, knowledge, ideals, values, hopes, beliefs, views of the meaning and purpose of life that determine the activity of an individual or social subject and organically interwoven with their actions and norms of thinking. From another point of view it is proved that the world outlook is not only a sum of knowledge about the world, it is a synthesis of forms of knowledge and diverse feelings, values, meanings of comprehension of the human world, a personal vision of their own problems, not only the process of assimilation of the finished knowledge, experience, values, but also the perception of the world through the needs of personality development.The content of the integrated course «I Explore the World»is analyzed. The author has investigated that the purpose of the course is the personal development of junior schoolchildren on the basis of the formation of a holistic image of the world in the process of assimilating various types of social experience, which covers the system of integrated knowledge about nature and society, value orientations in various spheres of life and social practice, methods of research behavior that characterize the ability of students to solve practical problems. The main ways and conditions of the process of junior pupils’ world outlook formation are highlighted and the effectiveness of the course «I explore the world» in this process is proved.

In particular, the focuses are with the study and discussion of the culturological and axiological approaches to complement synthesis and analysis, induction and deduction, etc. It is believed that it is philosophy, which seeks to act as a coordinator of interactions between others and their own - the implementation of the subjects’ understanding of their practical value, normative and cognitive behaviors in the general cultural space. To this part, philosophical thinking converges with the social action theories, where the purpose is to create a productive exchange of meanings, values ??and concepts between subjects in an interaction, in which such subjects are seen ‘engaged agents’ rather than ‘puppets’ of the society.

Full textAbstract:
The sociodesign of the Russian mentality as an organizational principle of the statehood in the history of Russia is briefly outlined, the synthesis of the country specific and chronological approaches is carried out through the prism of producing a person, society, and the state under the influence of natural and climatic factors, internal processes and geopolitical problems using the methodology of complex science and text visualization.
The matrix structure and functional connections of the individual’s and people’s mentality components are presented, indicators of the mentality manifestation and evaluation are disclosed, such as: archetypes of the unconscious and meaning-life orientations, social actions, public consciousness formation, national spirit and historical memory.
From the standpoint of the country specific and chronological approach, the general characteristics of the Russian mentality are considered, which are superimposed on the psychological characteristics of various groups and specific individuals’ mentality, which can lead to forming a single national spirit associated with the specifics of national psychology if people have a national idea. As an organizational integrative principle of the statehood Russian people’s mentality is considered as a synergetic noospheric symbiosis of the individuals’ mentality of the Russian society.

Full textAbstract:
The article elucidates modern trends in humanities and social studies to encompass affective corporeality in the emotional conceptual sphere of the person, the structure of her social identity, and into processes of communal sense-making. But despite the prominence of the turn to affectivity which is putatively at the core of many social processes, discourse must be equally addressed to outline the epistemic role of emotional experiences. Therefore, the goal of the paper is to highlight the need for integrating the findings of both discourse and affect studies which will significantly benefit emotiology in unveiling the processes of social construction of reality. To meet the goal the following objectives are set: 1) to outline the semiotic nature and pragmatic potential of affect somatic concomitants; 2) to analyze the unity of social and biogenetic codes of affect and emotion externalization; 3) to provide an overarching classification of verbal means for affect and emotion manifestation; 4) to highlight the role of cognized corporeality of emotions; 5) to present the prospects of an integral approach to the study of affective-discursive sense-making. The methodology of the study involves general-scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, comparing, and deduction. Results. Current emotion theories in linguistics, philosophy, and psychology exhibit a general tendency towards the integration of embodied emotional and sensual experience in epistemic and sense-making practices of social interaction. An emotional pool proves indispensable from the pool of knowledge and involves shared experience of affective and emotional responses, their conventionalized and sedimented externalization, the library of verbal and nonverbal means of their manifestation, regulation, negotiation, and channeling. Consequently, the unison of scholarly claims resides in the recognition of both biological and social aspects of affectivity, verbal expression and/or representation of which elicits recognition and an embodied response in the co-emoter. The commonality of affective interaction is claimed formative in constructing worldviews and beliefs. Therefore, the pragmatic potential of verbal and nonverbal affectivediscursive practices favours efficient social affiliation and communal construction of reality simultaneously setting social boundaries within a society. Recurring and reproducing scenarios of affective interaction are based on the system of conventional behavioural and linguistic signs which foster meaning-making practices. The library of somatic signs can be accessed via biogenetic modality, modality on trigger, and modality on learning. This code is grounded in innate physiological responses and unequivocally relates to corresponding situations through stereotypical behavioral patterns. Modality on learning bridges biogenetic and alphabetic codes as the nativism of both anchors semantic correlation, with the difference that the latter system of signs is adopted only conventionally. A discursive account of emotional interaction has resulted in an integral classification of verbal means for affect and emotion externalization that equally involve verbal and nonverbal modes. Emotion triggers, emotional situations, psycho-physiological experiences, state and action tendencies are included in the comprehensive inventory of language means for emotion manifestation. Expressive and descriptive methods can also serve as means of invoking emotional response in other social members in the form of embodied simulations. This is engendered by the process of emotion knowledge acquisition which occurs both through embodiment and narrative practices. The knowledge of social and cultural aspects of one’s emotional stance involves a multilateral account of subjective experience shared by other members of a culture. Thus, emotional alignment is achieved in social acts through manifold resources of language that proves affective-discursive practices defining in sense-making and the approach seminal in further studies of social processes.

Full textAbstract:
A feature of the modern world is the integration of social and virtual realities: the area of their correlation is being formed, in which the processes of human life activity take place. Biovirtual and sociovirtual specifics are acquired by a person and his activities, which determine new security threats that require their immediate removal. Traditional mental programs for successful adaptation to new conditions of life turned out to be unsuitable, not meeting the requirements of the time. This actualizes the study of changes in mentality, which forms stable behavior patterns that allow a person to respond in a timely manner to the challenges of the environment. In this regard, the purpose of the study is to identify and analyze the specifics of mentality changes under the influence of effects that arise in the field of correlation between social and virtual realities. We assume that the formation of a new type of mentality, capable of giving a worthy response to the challenges of our time, occurs under the influence of a system of effects that arise in the field of correlation between social and virtual realities. The study is based on the synthesis of philosophical concepts: the socio-cultural concept of mentality, the relationship between the natural and the social in society and man, artificial sociality and the BANI-world. The novelty of the study lies in: 1) identifying and analyzing the effects of the correlation of social and virtual realities as the driving forces of the dynamics of mentality (the effect of reality upgrade, hybridization of natural and artificial intelligence); 2) in revealing the essence of these effects and the mechanisms of their functioning; 3) in revealing new features of mentality (neosyncresis, blurring of meanings, imaginary transparency). As a result of the study, the processes of interaction between social and virtual realities are analyzed, which determine the features of the area of their correlation; the effects are revealed, the action of which is determined by the specifics of the structure and content of the area of correlation between social and virtual realities; the features of human mentality formed under the influence of the effects of the correlation of social and virtual realities are determined and characterized. The practical significance of the study is determined by the possibility of using the results in order to develop effective strategies for the activity of a person included in the area of correlation between the social and virtual worlds.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to describe the concept of justice in Islam according to Majid Khadduri, a Muslim scholar in the modern era. In Islamic theology, for example, justice is not only related to aspects of humanity but also divinity. In the secular sciences, justice is widely discussed in terms of substance and procedure. Likewise, in the discourse of Islamic theology, the value in question tends only to divinity, meaning that the measure of good value is God or the texts of the holy book. However, for Majid Khadduri, these values are not only related to humanity but at the same time they must be close to what God wants and religion in general. The synthesis of the two views above seems to be united in the concept of Khadduri. Therefore, the problem in this paper is how the construction of justice according to Majid Khadduri and its implications for the formulation of justice in the context of religious humanity. The results of the study show that human actions are judged fairly if they are based on correct norms and carried out with good procedures. In addition, with the development of social problems in society, such as injustice, it is also important to formulate the concept of justice which truly is a concept that can provide and be useful in solving this sense of injustice. This article will contribute and can be used as an approach in creating the spirit of changing, enlightening in Muslim society.

Full textAbstract:
PurposeThis is an exploratory and qualitative study to consider approaches to capture, analyse and monitor perceptions from big data, to inform and contribute to place management research and practice of botanic gardens (BGs). This paper aims to address the ongoing significant threat to BGs due to funding being cut and the need to inform and develop sustainable revenue streams for their survival.Design/methodology/approachGuiding research questions for this study were: ‘What are the perceived strengths and areas for development for 2 BGs via a Leximancer Automatic Content Analysis (ACA) of TripAdvisor online reviews; and do they match BGs purpose of scientific research, conservation, display and education?’ A content analysis of 582 online reviews from 2007 to 2017 follows qualitative methodology techniques using a combination of manual and automatic text analysis (Leximancer text mining software). These approaches enabled a comparison of online TripAdvisor reviews with Likert-type or rating scale items of 1 to 5 stars.FindingsInsights revealed the use of Leximancer and TripAdvisor (or similar innovations) as tools for potential place management, place marketing communications and monitoring purposes. Predominant perceptions extracted from reviews are not concerned with documented collections of living plants for the purposes of scientific discovery, conservation, display and education. Reviews clearly focus more upon aesthetics, facilities and services, which support previous studies. Overall, reviews highlighted positive sentiments towards the BGs.Research limitations/implicationsLimitations link to limited data across two BGs, synthesis and meaning of complex perceptions, matters of subjectivity and time needed to interpret information. Implications enable insights into BG “place” gleaned from big data in the form of user-generated content and electronic Word-Of-Mouth using Leximancer; viewed as a measure alongside management action plans. Future studies could strengthen debate and action regarding the use of Leximancer, and also public perception of BGs’ core functions, importance and value. The research supports potential to monitor and transform perceptions, values and beliefs. Outcomes could eventually inform policy and generate a much-needed shift in funds and resources for BGs by highlighting their relevance and value to society.Originality/valueAn empirical and methodological contribution via peer reviewed studies of visitor perceptions via online reviews of Britain’s BGs “place” and “space” analysed with Leximancer have never been published. This study critically explores potential visitor and place management needs of BGs. Managers can make better use of big data from social media platforms/digital channels, using a novel type of data analytical software like Leximancer for strategic planning; with more informed approaches to place management, innovation and development. A key contribution of this study is this ACA methodological approach for place management.

Full textAbstract:
The study clarifies the narrative features of the TV layout of Ukrainian TV channels in the period 2013-2020. The first stage of the study – 2015-2018, the initial expert survey – 35 interviews with graduates and editors-in-chief of Ukrainian TV channels. The second stage of the study – 2018-2020, rhetorical analysis of 80 news programs «Podrobyci» («Inter»), «TSN» («1+1»), «Sobytija», «Sjoghodni» («Ukrajina»), «Vikna» («STB»), «Fakty» («ICTV»), «Abzac» («Novyj»), «Novyny» («Pershyj»), «Pidsumky» («Era»), «Chas. Pidsumky dnja» («5 kanal»), «Novyny» («112-Ukrajina»). The third stage of the research is 2020, modeling of TV layout of Ukrainian TV channels, clarification of narrative principles, methods, techniques. Rhetorical analysis and modeling of TV layout were associated with the search for the collected data of the most important topics, compositional schemes, forms of TV stories, etc. (according to the theory of «agenda»). Based on the analysis of the collected and ordered empirical data, standardized approaches in the formation of news releases used by Ukrainian TV channels are revealed – narrative features of news releases as information constructs correlated with social reality. During the research the general scientific methods were also used: analysis and synthesis, comparison, classification: with their help the secondary and primary data were arranged and understood, the results and conclusions were formulated. It was found that the television industry is a sphere of socio-communicative action, a slice of social reality, through which texts are broadcast to the audience, encouraging them to internalize certain ideas, values, to believe in meanings. Because of this, news releases can be interpreted as editorial narratives – plot, dramatic, audiovisual stories about events that happened recently in the life of the country, of the world, of the people. News stories are compiled in accordance with editorial standards, adopted layout model, as well as with typical principles of selection and ranking of topics, ways of presenting information. This encourages us to talk about a special «narrative realism» – an approach in the reflection / construction of the picture of the day. Thus, adequate storytelling is a professional challenge for news channels and a promising research subject in the theory of social communications.

Full textAbstract:
A lapidary reconstruction of the boundaries of human freedom is underway in Hegel's state theory. It is argued that the three forms of coexistence of the individual and the common are identified: the common society, the state, and civil society - exist in both consistent, historical, time, and organic unity, here and now, complement each other. In each of these forms, freedom has its own autonomous horizons, which depend on tradition, human consciousness, acquired external or internal boundaries of freedom. In combining these spheres into a single community, the limits of freedom depend on the synthesis of the social foundations and reasonable practices of owners and citizens, the moral strength of civil society, the norms of state law, and the level of personal reasonableness of those in power. But a key role in ensuring the freedom and consolidation of individuals, corporations and the general should be played by an ethical state, in the bosom of which every person is fully self-fulfilling, since it focuses on "the spirit of the people – customs, laws – which is the dominant source. Here, a person is recognized and treated as a rational being, as a person, ... in a state, a citizen receives due honor by his position, by the profession he has and by his other work activity ”[19, p. 243]. However, all the opportunities and autonomous horizons of freedom a citizen can gain only by realizing himself to be a slave of a state that is the master of absolute freedom. Thus, through law and bureaucratic levers, the Hegel State guarantees a certain level of freedom and guarantees a new order of the general. In fact, individual freedom does not extend to the political plane and does not guarantee democratic rights. The state provides and supports only private and economic freedom, the freedom of corporations to decide social rights, and exists separately - in the plane of a bureaucratic hierarchy headed by a monarch. In the process of resolving the outlined question, Hegel gives the essential rational features of the state and the ideal principles of its existence. These signs are a contradictory synthesis of liberalconservative ideas and metaphysical-utilitarian positions. So the state is: 1) totally deified, the moral community of the people - the manifestation of its essence in history. This perception of the state gives it true sovereignty – the state of the most powerful lord or God on earth, which is the highest manifestation of the freedom of the objective spirit; 2) a universal-rational idea – a common goal that gives meaning to life and direction of development both general and individual; 3) the nation-state, because in its historical course it absorbs the customs, traditions, social foundations and the level of reason of the people, that is, it embodies the self-determination of the universal will; 4) morally reasonable substance. This principle is necessary in the sense of E. Weil notes that "neither is the law of the stronger nor the law of benevolence, the" natural nobility ", but the law of reason in which any intelligent being can learn of his own reasonable will" [20, p. . 93]; 5) legal substance, which is "the mind that has taken the form of law, not a mystical and transcendental law, but its law, its general rule of private action, is a mindset that has devoted itself to the pure development of the principles of free existence" [20, p. 96] and free self-development of man, and therefore must form specific legal spaces of all possible forms of freedom (formal, external, internal, etc.); 6) the public sphere for affirmation of an open level of freedom, which encourages individuals to achieve full political identity with the state, to attain a higher public position, namely a patriot; 7) the guarantor of security, protection of private property and growth of economic power in all areas of the general.

Full textAbstract:
The study deals with the images of the narrator / author and the prophet – the lyrical character in T. Shevchenko’s poem The Funeral Feast [Tryzna]. The purpose of the study is to comprehend the author’s conception and to reveal the whole range of the ways of expressing the author’s “self ”.In this poem, the lyrical subject is variable. He functions as the author proper as well as the narrating author and the lyrical “I”, sometimes getting the features of the lyrical character. At the same time, the narrator and the character have in common the motif of prophetical service, prophetical mission.The sense structure of the image of the prophet presents in Shevchenko’s poem a synthesis of traditional and original senses. Shevchenko combines the social with the philosophic and the ethical, the universal artistic with the individual ontological. A prophet is not just an artistic image but also a modus of social existence of the writer in his ambition through his works to promote God’s laws of society and personality on the earth as a continuation of life itself.Instead of abstract philosophic speculations and complete negation, the poet creates a special modus of his view of life and attitude towards people. This modus is love; however, it is not love in a simplified, trivial and commonplace meaning but in a deeper, religious-ontological comprehensive sense.The Funeral Feast appears to have the main elements of the motif-symbolic complex of romantic literature: the estrangement of the hero longing for heavenly harmony, prayerful yearning for the heaven he keeps memories of, selectness, loneliness, and orphanhood in earthly captivity, the motifs of the lost heaven, of death as rest and death as meeting. The hero is represented as a creative personality that finds itself in a tragic contradiction with the world.One of the significant semantic oppositions is that of the word and silence. In Shevchenko’s poem, this problem is considered in terms of a transition from silent act to action word. The work on The Funeral Feast actually reveals the insolvability of the contradiction between the prophet’s two guises (“the meek prophet” – “the severe prophet”), thus forming a complex dualistic image.In Shevchenko’s creative development, The Funeral Feast was an important step in comprehending the theme of the poet and his prophetic vocation, it marks a significant stage of the author’s spiritual and creative establishment. The poet in his higher mission is understood in the poem as a personality of a national and supernational, seraphic scale, which determines his role and place in society and in the world. The lyrical-epic nature of the genre made it possible to refer the self-expression of the author’s lyrical “I” to the objectification and personification of the lyrical character. The lyrical subject includes various forms of expressing the author’s consciousness, while the hero conceptualizes the perfect model of a creative personality in his / her prophetic essence.

Abstract‘Schizophrenia’ can do things other than diagnose or stigmatize those so defined in that it can serve various forms of social action. Two hundred and fifty-eight randomly selected patients with an experience of schizophrenia and their relatives participated in the study of schizophrenia as social discourse. They used the diagnosis for political struggle and social leverage in such diverse forms as demonstration of the meaning of ‘a schizophrenic’, discursive intervention for ideological invitation, reclaiming personal worth (revalorization), solidarity with fellow patients and economic compensation. Despite the inherent value of the diagnosis in helping them get the right treatment, participants saw devaluing meaning in various designations for schizophrenia and, given choice, preferred certain formulations of the diagnosis over others in relation to their social discourse. To be effective, treatment models, service delivery and communication with patients must allow, interpret and incorporate their first person accounts (discourse) as a feature of their individuality and uniqueness in the therapeutic process. This is likely to increase their sense of wellbeing, empowerment and cooperation with the treatment.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the conditions and factors that influenced the formation of contemporary art and cinema in China, South Korea and Japan. We can determine the peculiarities of the development of Chinese contemporary art, such as the desire of the first artists, after the Cultural Revolution, to reflect its flux and effects as much as possible. Further, artistic tendencies become diverse: the commercial component and a certain element of the state of affairs are viewed in the works of art by Chinese authors, but the desire for self-expression in different ways testify to the progressive phenomena characteristic of art. Modern Korean art proves that the scientific and technological revolution and the dominant avant-garde component of mass culture in general cannot supplant the ultimate traditional artistic creativity. One of the characteristic features of contemporary Korean art is a demonstration of belonging to the culture of the country. First of all, this is the influence of the traditions of Confucianism, Buddhism, along with the painful memories of war and long-term colonization by Japan. One can note the simplicity, orderliness, harmony of colors and shapes as an inalienable feature of Korean contemporary art, but modern tendencies show the striving for the discovery of individuality of the artist, which manifests itself in non-standard artistic forms. Japanese visual art combines the works of autochthonous traditions and European artistic principles. Considerable attention is paid to the issue of the relationship between nature and man, reflected in the work of adherents of the synthesis of Japanese traditions and Western variety of forms. Particular attention is paid to contemporary artists in Japan with the latest technology – video art, 3D painting, interactive installations and installations-hybrids. Chinese cinema with the generation of directors, known as the Fifth Generation, reveals new trends. These artists initially sought to convey events and tragedies during the Cultural Revolution, but over time they turned to other themes and genres. Directors of the "Sixth Generation" paid special attention to social problems, the place of action in their films is unknown China – small settlements or cities. Modern Korean cinema covers two large areas: cinema for women – melodrama, and for men – adventure. Today the adventure genre is oriented mainly to teens, and the melodrama genre has been transformed from the problems of the middle-aged women's interest towards the youth audience, therefore, it is more likely to come closer to the romantic comedy. The tragedy of Korea, which is split up into two parts, worries the movie-makers. In recent years there have been changes in South Korean position in exposing North Korean residents. If the previous decades in South Korean cinema was cultivating the image of the enemy: North Korean could be either a spy or killer, but now the inhabitants of North Korea are perceived and presented in films differently, not embodying exclusively negative features. In Japanese cinema, the emphasis is on the visual array, which allows you to bring forward contemplation and the deep meaning is transmitted by artistic images typical of the oriental art in general. In films, much attention is paid to the smallest details; certain asceticism along with the aesthetization of the frame is a reflection of purely Japanese features – minimalism as the meaning of existence. Familiarity with the peculiarities of the development of contemporary art and cinema in China, Korea and Japan is a necessary component for further dialogue between the cultures of East and West in terms of balanced interaction and artistic transformations of the modern world.

The mutual interconnectedness of personal sense and generalizable meaning, of subjective grounds for action and generalized possibilities for action, is described as an existential precondition for individuals as subjects in the world. The dissolution of this interconnectedness is madness. Individuals have the choice to acknowledge this interconnectedness and thus constitute themselves as subjects in the world, or they can reject it and thereby surrender themselves to madness. The social contexts that are conducive to such acknowledgement or are detrimental to them are briefly sketched, and structural analogies between the madness of persons and that of a society that is dominated by capital are underscored.

The purpose of the article is to determine the influence of ethnic and cultural characteristics on the successful outcome of the negotiation process. The study is based on an understanding of the cultural component of the negotiation process, national, ethnic stereotypes and the formation of national style on their basis. An important aspect to consider is the influence of cultural sensitivities on the course of negotiations, which should lead to a positive end result. Methodology. The paper used the methodology of general scientific and interdisciplinary research. The authors of the article applied methods of analysis and synthesis, research, and description. A number of scientific works on intercultural negotiations and the influence of ethnic and cultural characteristics on the negotiation process were analyzed. The result of the analysis of the cultural factor in negotiations showed that culture as a social category, covering the mentality, habits, traditions of a particular social group, directly affects the behavior and motivation of the partic-ipants in the negotiation process. In this context, national stereotypes (the gener-alized image of representatives of a particular nation) are of great importance in the parties' perception of each other. These collective traits can be both positive and negative, but more often the stereotypes are negative. Therefore, it is im-portant for participants in intercultural negotiations not only to study, but also to understand the ethnic and national characteristics of their partners, to be able to change their perception of the other culture and not to base their attitudes and actions on purely national stereotypes. Although cultural differences can make joint decision-making difficult, this factor can also have a positive impact on the end result of negotiations. More attention is paid to common interests, and as a result, the likelihood of reaching consensus is higher when the parties have strong cultural differences. In addition, an important factor influencing the conduct and outcome of negotiations is the interpreters, whose role should be not only lan-guage skills, but also the cultural context of the negotiations. Practical meaning. Cultural analysis of the negotiation process is an important element in the train-ing of negotiators and can be the key to success in achieving mutually beneficial results. Value/originality. Learning and understanding ethnic and national char-acteristics and styles is an important factor in successful negotiations and in cre-ating favorable decision-making conditions that can satisfy all parties to the ne-gotiation process.

Environmental Education with joint efforts by the government, environmental agencies, entrepreneurial initiatives, local authorities and schools play a major role in in promoting students’ understanding of environmental concepts, enhancing their awareness on major environmental issues and positive attitude towards natural environment, and cultivating the future active, environmental literate citizen. This research is a case study with synthesis of many interesting approaches, actions and constructive elements of a school project on Environmental Education which designed and applied to meet the principles and methodology of Education for the Sustainable Development. The research method allowed the reflection and assessment of the design, the detailed description of the educational activities, the objectives initially set, the way they were achieved and their impact to those involved, particularly to students and teachers. The study aimed to contribute in the understanding of the framework, procedures, characteristics of the target group and the learning environments, in an open “reading” frame. It also aimed to attribute meaning to the real experience of the participants.Students’ participation in the educational project was very active because of the interesting subject of the project, the link of the study with the management of ecosystems and also the relations that were built up among the participants during the project implementation. The Project utilized the didactic research with the use of various educational techniques which stirred the interest of students and pushed them to get more involved in the educational process, looking more to discover new knowledge. The project focused on learning about the bio-communities and the ways of management and protection to ensure future ecological sustainability and social quality of life. Students visited agro-tourism units in Macedonia and Crete in different ecological environments. Discussions, interviews, round table debates, brainstorming, role play, environmental pathways, guided tours were greatly conducted together with the ICTs in various learning environments inside and outside the school, in the classroom, the libraries, the science laboratory, in the field and in society, kept the students highly interested all over the project implementation.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to reveal how managers of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can utilise their participation in research-based training to enable innovation and growth. Design/methodology/approach – Action research and action learning from a longitudinal study of ten SME managers in the wind turbine industry are applied to reveal SME managers’ learning and the impact of the application of learning in the wind turbine industry. Findings – The findings of this study show that SME managers employ a practice-shaped, holistic, cross-disciplinary approach to learning. This learning approach is supported by theory dissemination and collaboration on perceived business challenges. Open-mindedness to new learning by SME managers and to cross-disciplinary collaboration with SME managers by university facilitators/researchers is required. Research limitations/implications – The research is conducted within the wind turbine industry, in which intense demands for innovation are pursued. The findings require verification in other industry contexts. Practical implications – This research contributes strategies for SME managers to utilise research-based training and for universities regarding how to work with SME training. In addition, public bodies can enhance their understanding of SMEs for innovation and growth. The learning approach that is suitable for specialisation in larger organisations is not suitable in the SME context. Social implications – SME learning is enhanced by a social approach to integrating essential large-scale industry players and other SME managers to create extended action and value from learning. Originality/value – The findings reveal the need for extended theory development for and a markedly different approach to SME training from that used for training managers in larger companies. This topic has received only limited attention in previous research.

Time synthesis of sensorimotor action is reviewed as a process of a coherence setting action duration (expected duration), time sequence of required operations and significant changes in conditions. Aim: to experimentally set up the connection of time synthesis success and efficiency of realization sensorimotor action in changeable conditions. Hypothesis: successful time synthesis of the setting duration and the temporal sequence of operations in the mental organization of sensorimotor action in changing conditions is realized in accordance with the corresponding operational meaning and is allowed by anticipatory effects and an increase in the effectiveness of the action, materials and methods. An experimental study involved 152 male and female students. Participants of the investigation solved experimental tasks, implemented in a computer version, according to schemes of a simple visual-motor reaction and a choice reaction (separately and in combination), according to a scheme of sensorimotor action with a warning signal when the apperceptive scheme, setting duration and sequence of required operations were changed promptly. Results were reviewed in the aspect of disclosing the features of the subject's elimination of the uncertainty of the moment of achieving the goal in the future and the construction of a sequence of operations of sensorimotor actions in a connection with changes in external conditions, typical for the time deficit regime. The conditionality of the time synthesis of sensorimotor action by the actual operational meaning was established revealing that the successful temporal synthesis of sensorimotor action in changing conditions is associated with the fastest acceptance of an adequate apperceptive scheme, with effective anticipation of the moment of achieving the goal and the formation of a detailed setting duration of action, with the formation of a temporal sequence of required operations. Conclusions. The levels of success of the time synthesis of sensorimotor action in changing conditions are highlighted: “quite successful; moderately successful; unsuccessful.”

Social hermeneutics is a young, emerging branch of philosophy associated with problems of understanding social actions. Since any social action is aimed at transforming the human world, our present, future and past, understanding its motives and goals is of practical importance for each person and humanity as a whole. A social action always has a cultural-historical context. Understanding the motive and the meaning of the social action is impossible outside the language system that determines it and the culture of a particular nation.

Full textAbstract:
The article defines radicalisation as part of the processes of modern liberation, which are recognised in the interlacement of emancipatory potential in social pedagogy and mobilisation in the theory of community development. In parallel to this, we problematise the internally divided socio-pedagogical attitude, which, on the one hand, seeks to liberate, and on the other hand, is repeatedly caught in the preservation of existing “oppressive” power relations. In doing so, we consider the concerns regarding political action as the goal of “radicalising” social pedagogy, which indicate that in social pedagogy we have internalized collaboration as a democratic “norm” of solving social and other societal issues and thus accepted it as the only formally realistic option to achieve structural change.

The 'work organization' has, for many, come to replace the Church in dictating the meanings by which people are expected to structure their social action. This paper describes the function of myth in human life, the challenge to traditional mythologies through the emergence of science and technology and how the new order of organizational ideologies and myths fail to provide the integration necessary for life adjustment. The argument for the current emergence of a new form of mythology, one which challenges contemporary understandings of human beings and social organiza tion, is assessed.

Social relationships are generally defined as that type of interconnection between two, three or more social actors acting together, thinking together, feeling together, waiting or asking for an answer from one another, within life manifestations or common, palpable, sustainable and meaningful activities. The foundation of social relationships (and their framework) is, therefore, represented by the manifestation of life that includes at least two individuals. When this life manifestation takes the form of the meaning of life, the foundation of a social action and, thus, the manifestation of a social relationship, is created. When the manifestation of life takes the form of a professional activity, we say that it has a professional meaning. The meaning of life is expressed in connection to the profession and, cumulatively, as a vocation”

Abstract Meaning in life of older adults is related to a good life. Health and social care professionals are expected to address tensions in finding meaning in life among their clients. From 2020 to 2022, we conducted a 24-month participatory action research to discover how professionals in spiritual care, social workers, and volunteers can collaborate to better recognize, address and support questions regarding meaning in life. Four groups of co-researchers were composed, each consisting of a social worker, professionals in spiritual care, older adult, volunteer, students and researcher. They had monthly meetings to discuss actions and findings. In-between, collaboration activities were shaped and qualitative data were gathered about e.g. experiences. Results show that collaboration can be shaped by activities like providing workshops, expert consultation, coaching-on-the-job, jointly shaped interventions for clients, dialogue sessions, and multidisciplinary meetings. Thereby, for realising sustainable collaboration and ongoing mutual learning, structural and person-independent encounters should be realised.

Folia linguistica et litteraria XII, no. 38 (November 8, 2021): 81–101. http://dx.doi.org/10.31902/fll.38.2021.5.
Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the theme of a "lay monastery" (“монастырь в миру“), which became one of the important milestones of spiritual life and the life of the Сhurch in the late 19th and 20th centuries and which was reflected in the later works of Dostoevsky. According to Russian thinkers, there was an obvious need to overcome the spiritual isolation of the Church, which should show a desire to merge with the world and manifest heartfelt and vital work on this path. However, the new form and way of salvation are seen as an impulse of humanity to overcome the gap and strengthen connections with the Church. Dostoevsky thought that in the fluid and already different spiritual and historical reality, it was of the utmost importance to find or create new ways of salvation and unification. The Brothers Karamazov tells of the increasing social influence of hermits’ (подвижник). Dostoevsky suggested that their influence was utilitarian in nature and could be associated with the upper limit of Russian medieval culture in the 17th century, when the cult of saints was significantly strengthened as they were revered primarily as real helpers in secular affairs. Sanctity in Russia was often achieved by following the paths of martyrdom, passion-bearing, asceticism in its extreme forms, hermitry, mysticism and foolishness (юродство) rather than through constant, consistent, and purposeful self-discipline and abstention. However, the unifying factor is "Labor with Christ", where both joy about the world and spiritual ennobling are revealed, as Dostoevsky illustrates a path on which there is the possibility of expedient union between the laity and the Church. In the last chapter, in which Alyosha gathers the children and makes a speech, the mission of the "lay monastery" is carried out, because he manages to unite people in the name of Ilyushechka and his expected resurrection, thus, in the name of Christ. Each thing, having an absolute meaning, exists not only in a passive correlation to the other, but also takes action, fills it up and is being filled up. Only in a universal synthesis of this type, does the true miracle of universal interconnection live. Here, we are witnessing the mysterious communion of the boys and their entry into the mystical Church. One can use Lurie's successful comparison of two ways of life, secular and monastic, with Law and Grace (159). The lay monastery corresponds to the meeting of the Old Testament law and evangelical freedom, as two Christian paths that should exist in constant conjunction. Dostoevsky's thesis once again confirms the idea of Solovyov: "The Church is there where the people are, united by mutual brotherly love and free unanimity, who become a receptacle of God's grace, which is the true essence and vital principle of the Church, that forms one spiritual organism" (1914, 4: 658).

Full textAbstract:
The facts of Gogol's appeal to the models of classical forms of myth and ritual are interesting not only by themselves but also in the aspect of their relationship with the arsenal of Christian mythology. The fundamental point here is that in light of the historical interpretation of the myth and the Revelation by F. W. J. Schelling, the mythology since its initial stage organically developed to Christianity, to the truths of Revelation (as the historical movement “flowed” into them). The symbolic complex of the story Vij, interlacing with Eros and Thanatos, allows parallels to the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice since in the case of the story Vij and in the case of myth, the motive of prohibition on sight also holds. The philosopher (i.e. the poet in the archaic and romantic notion) Homa Brut comes into contact with the world of death not of his own free will, besides, the panicle Eurydice died because of him. Orpheus partakes of the Dionysian sacraments. A visit to Orpheus of hell equated him, in Christian understanding, with Christ. In Gogol's story Vij, Dionysus and Christ have implicitly come together. The motive of the story Vij for blindness is related to Oedipus's self-blindness motive. Mythological Erinnes, persecuted by Oedipus, are old women, which correlates with one of the chthonic incarnations of the plaque, thereby drawing closer to the goddesses of revenge, punishment, and remorse of conscience. The fact of the final recognition of Oedipus as “holy” is reflected in the potential Christian semantics of the image of Homa as a martyr and passion-bearer. As the winner of the witch, the deliverer of people from her misfortunes and the passion bearer Homa is a Christian ascetic. Against the background of Christian parallels, the second stay of Homa on the farm becomes as if his “second coming”, symbolically comparable to the expected second coming of Christ, who is coming all the time. The terrible glance of Vij and pannochka certainly reminds of the slaying glance of Medusa Gorgon, which forced all living things to petrify. There is pathos of fighting tyranny in ridding the farm from the witch by Homa. Although Homa defends himself first of all in the beating scene, the general social meaning of his action is obvious. The power of the pannochka (she is the daughter of a wealthy sotnik), who for some reason considers himself pious, is not only socio-political but, in the main, existential-anthropological, this domination over man as a species, over man as such. The motives of ancient Greek and in general pagan mythology are closely intertwined in Gogol's story with Christian motives, which formed the unique spiritual and aesthetic synthesis of the story Vij.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the consideration of the theory of social action in the context of criticism of the theory of action by analytical philosophy. Firstly, the article describes the basic concepts of social action by M. Weber, E. Durkheim, and T. Parsons. Despite some disagreements between these sociologists, they agree that social action is purposeful and intentional, as well as focused on other people, due to which it receives a social characteristic. Then the author turns to analytical philosophy, in which the concept of "intention" was subjected to skeptical analysis. For example, in the philosophy of late Wittgenstein, action receives its meaning not from the intentions of the actor, but from the context of its implementation, just as words get their meaning from the conditions in which they are used. His ideas were developed by E. Anscombe, who rejected introspection as a method of comprehending the intentions of the subject of action. An obvious consequence of the refusal of psychologizing intent was an appeal to the context of the action being performed and to its social conditions as well. Having considered examples of the application of the theories of social action, the author concludes that sociologists in most of their studies use the model of a rational subject of action, the distinguishing feature of which is awareness of one’s own intentions and goals. Although some researchers have attempted to make this model weaker in order to approximate it to real participants of social interaction, these changes did not affect the awareness of the subject of action of his own goals and intentions. Therefore, the author of the article concludes that one of the urgent tasks of sociology is to develop a new model of the subject of action, which will organically combine the subject’s orientation to the external context and limited awareness of the grounds for his own actions.

AbstractConservative activists and politicians have condemned critical race theory and have supported measures to prohibit teaching the subject in public schools. The anti-critical race theory movement is part of broader social movement activity inspired by the 2020 presidential election. Many conservatives view Donald Trump's defeat as a victory for antiracism. In response, they have portrayed the election as a product of fraud, enacted laws that will make it more difficult for people of color to vote, endorsed measures that would chill antiracist political activism, and banned instruction related to contemporary antiracist theory. These practices have been employed historically in response to antiracism. This history should guide social justice advocates as they analyze the meaning of countermovement activity and build strategies of resistance.

The article deals with the analysis of philosophical reflections of the theory of understanding of social action. According to the author, the rejection of the classical position of methodological logocentrism («objective – subjective»), as the main research facility, helps to clarify the place and role of the social scientist as well as opens an opportunity for the construction of "meaning saving” theories of understanding of action.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to clarify the proper position of time as sociology’s basic concept in relation to meaning ( Sinn). In sociology, the inseparable relationship between time and meaning has been clearly shown by Schutz’s phenomenological sociology and Luhmann’s social systems theory. Referring to the respective theories of Bergson and Husserl, Schutz argued that the problem of meaning in Weber’s interpretative sociology is a problem of time. The meaning of an action that an actor subjectively thinks of is determined not by a common normative value for example, but rather through her/his own inner time: the meaning of an ongoing action ( Handeln) is the act ( Handlung) projected as an aim in the stream of consciousness. Similarly, Luhmann considered self-referential social systems as temporal subjects that cognize their own reality of the external world. Phenomena appearing to a social system through communicative intentionality are weighted by the system’s own past and future, and are thereby selectively (not randomly) actualized as meaningful units in the present. System order (or social order) is thus temporally organized in the atemporal, chaotic world of meaning. “Self-reference” is to refer to a system’s own eigen time ( Eigenzeit), which provides the basis for a system’s autonomy or freedom.

AbstractThe essay reviews how phenomenological psychology can draw on Edmund Husserl's transcendental phenomenology in order to clarify the foundations of the cultural sciences and then explicates the theory of this psychology implicit in Schutz's oeuvre.Max Weber has shown that all phenomena of the socio-cultural world originate in social interaction and can be referred to it. According to him, it is the central task of sociology to understand the meaning which the actor bestows on his action (the “subjective meaning” in his terminology). But what is action, what is meaning, and how is the understanding of such meaning by a fellow-man possible, be he a partner of the social interaction, or merely an observer in everyday life, or a social scientist? I submit that any attempt to answer these questions leads immediately to questions with which Husserl was concerned and which he has to a certain extent solved. (Schutz, 1962, p. 145)

Full textAbstract:
Suroan is known as a tradition which resulting from acculturation between the Saka and Islamic calendar. This tradition is performed to beg blessings and protections from misery and disasters. The implementation of Suroan became a custom in society, involving some trusted agents through social actions. However, most of Suroan performed in society is not in accordance with its true meaning. Regarding this problem, the purpose of this research is to obtain the action in the Suroan tradition. The method used is descriptive qualitative, while the kind of research is ethnography using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The data was collected through interview and observation in Bangunharjo, Taman Sari village. The result shows that social actions performed by Bangunharjo society are: a) traditional action through Suroan implementation is performed; b) affective action in a form of burial of the goat’s head, group prayers and puppet shows; c) instrument rational action in a form of physic, material, and emotional involving; d) rational action of value in a form of ubarampe. Thus, it can be concluded that Bangunharjo society still conserves the Suroan tradition.

This article describes how a college social service learning centre at a Catholic university created an opportunity for researchers, college students and elementary school teachers to learn about meaning in life together, through a social service learning program in Taiwan. The participants’ involvement benefitted their learning, indicating that the meaning in life perceived by the younger generation has changed in response to the context of an evolving Chinese culture, and that participants constrained their callings by developing realistic plans consisting of goals emphasised in traditional Chinese culture. Challenges were identified: specifically, the participants’ callings did not directly reflect the lessons that they learned through involvement in the program, and implementing the service program as a one-time activity limited its effect on the participants’ ability to find meaning in life. Future development of the service program was discussed, based on the lessons learned through this action research.

I address the commentators' calls for clarification of theoretical terms, discussion of similarities to other proposals, and extension of the ideas. In doing so, I keep the focus on the purpose of memory: enabling the organism to make sense of its environment so that it can take action appropriate to constraints resulting from the physical, personal, social, and cultural situations.

Abstract Viewed through the lens of social policy, Russia’s 2020 constitutional reform codifies existing priorities without addressing the issues that have fragmented the meaning of social citizenship. Placing these changes in theoretical and historical context, we identify the core causes of inequity in the social welfare system, the sustained gap between state promises, and Russians’ lived experience. Our case studies highlight the sources of shared social grievances and the obstacles to national collective action that maintain stability in the facing of increased localized protest actions. We conclude by emphasizing the importance of observing the opposing forces of continuity and change in Russian politics as they define and redefine the meaning of social citizenship.

Full textAbstract:
Behavioral approaches have been successful in challenging the rational actor model of international legal analysis and supplementing that model with empirical evidence. Yet observing a set of features about the world requires ignoring or bracketing others. Behavioral approaches retain their own inevitable blind spots, which are not necessarily products of flawed experimental design, but stem from the paradigmatic traits of these approaches. These blind spots derive from an emphasis on methodological individualism, positivism, and experimentation. This emphasis may obscure the social aspects of international legal decision-making. For example, behavioral approaches to international law often use experimental data to describe cognitive tendencies. In doing so, these approaches may not seek and likely will not have tools to discover the meaning of a state action, or the human actions that produce that state action. That latter inquiry requires “historical, ethnographic and other sociological methods that analyze social life outside of the experimental setting.” In sum, behavioral approaches pursue both theoretical and empirical concerns different from those pursued in an interpretive mode of meaning-making.

Participation by its very nature is iterative, meaning Participatory Action Research (PAR) must be responsive to the way participation manifests and what actions emerge from this participation. In the article that follows, we share the complex and intertwined stories of PAR in action in two social movement contexts in Ghana, as well as the conditions that led to inaction in these two stories. This article builds on previous related work, where PAR was described as “moving with the movement” (Langdon & Larweh, 2015), and describes the complexities of trying to move with the movement as conditions and relationships change over time. By sharing challenges and achievements that have emerged from the movement and research, we illustrate how moving with the movement has resulted in rich and unanticipated learnings.

Full textAbstract:
The article is a reflection on the participatory research conducted by me among the homeless living in the streets of a large city outside the system of institutional aid (2005–2008) and in the environment of homeless people staying in the hostel created within the framework of one of the associations (from 2007 to 2013). The location of these studies within the interpretative orientation ensures an opportunity to get to know the perspective of the Respondents (in this particular case – the homeless). Work on self-presentation is based on the assumption of symbolic interactionism, according to which the basis of interaction is defining the situation, proceeding through interpretation, so reading the meaning of the partner's action and definition, informing the partner about the intentions of action. Therefore, work on self-presentation is an attempt to read the meaning of a partner's activity, based on a specific way of imagining a partner, and thus – the way of treating him and the mechanisms accompanying work on self-presentation.

Hadith as the second source of Islamic law is not only interpreted in theological aspect, but also being interpreted as one of social behaviors. So that hadith is often becomes the basic of every social activity in certain community or society. It means that people use hadith as inspiration of their daily activity. This article discusses the islamic society, located at Trebungan, Mangaran, Situbondo, who apply it as the basic of social activity in their village. It is called Arebbe, one of tradition in islamic society that based on hadith. This article uses the Karl Mannheim's sociological science theory, behavior interpretation, to know the interpretation of Trebungan's people about Arebbe. Mannheim classified the behavior's meaning of social action into 3 types: objective meaning, expressive meaning, and documentary meaning.
