Purpose The USA’s higher education leaders and professional organizations have called for increased professional development programming at graduate colleges to better prepare US graduate students for their future careers. This study aims to investigate the demographic characteristics of graduate students participating in co-curricular professional development (PD) and sociocultural development (SD) programming at a graduate college at a large, selective and research-intensive public university in the Midwestern USA. Design/methodology/approach Using institutional data from six semesters, the authors examined the characteristics of students that attended the graduate college’s programs at one university. The authors analyzed which students were most likely to attend PD and SD programs using multinomial logistic regression models. Findings Female students, students from US historically marginalized racial groups, and US Pell Grant recipients (low-income students) were found to have a higher likelihood of attending both PD and SD programs at the centralized graduate college. Practical implications The findings will be of interest to graduate deans and educators who support graduate students. Further evaluative research on the usefulness of such programs at other institutions would help graduate colleges better understand the role they play in meeting graduate students’ needs. Originality/value The findings contribute to the understanding of the important role of the US graduate college in the development of graduate students. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, it is the first study to evaluate the backgrounds of graduate students who pursue co-curricular PD and SD opportunities.

Alfama, a neighborhood whose history dates to Lisbon’s origins, held simultaneously the power and burden of representing the “old Lisbon.” It is recognized as a territory that was never part of the efforts to modernize the city but also through its inherent values. The latter derive exactly from the nostalgic images it projects and through which the city’s history is kept alive. As part of a city’s ecosystem and embroiling global phenomena, the neighborhood faces inevitable changes, affecting both the closely intertwined urban fabric and socio-cultural aspects to shape a landscape of tangible and intangible heritage. Based on a multidisciplinary and humanistic approach, the article portrays the urban change in the neighborhood through a spatial and ethnographic lens, along different scales and angles, contributing with a critical dimension to understanding urban development processes. We examine how Alfama has been dealing with political intentions steered by economic prosperity and global influences. Thus, we look at policies fostering urban regeneration and tourism development and describe impacts on the territory and responses where traces of the community’s resilience emerge. We further discuss how increased tourism led to a “touristification” scenario and implied local responses. Namely, the community has been activating specific mechanisms and leveraging certain socio-spatial features to cope with the process of change. Some examples highlight how the community is adapting practices of space and social interactions to take advantage of the new possibilities brought up by tourism, while defending its core socio-spatial networks, in a continuous process of heritage creation info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

La contextualización curricular es imprescindible en la práctica educativa, por lo que las instituciones deberían promover su aplicación en las aulas de clase, más aún en la educación de jóvenes y adultos, quienes son sujetos con conocimientos ricos en lo social y lo cultural, además se podría pensar que la contextualización es el elemento que posibilita la consolidación de esa realidad sociocultural de nuestros jóvenes y adultos. Por lo que este trabajo pretende identificar el grado de contextualización del currículo del bachillerato de la campaña Todos ABC de la Unidad Educativa Limón y el desarrollo sociocultural del cantón Limón Indanza, en el año lectivo 2020-2021. Para ello esta investigación se desarrolló desde un enfoque cualitativo de carácter interpretativo, con el que se busca entender el proceso de construcción de conocimientos de sujetos que forman parte de una realidad específica desde la perspectiva de actores culturales, docentes y estudiantes de bachillerato, expresada principalmente en sus tradiciones; esa sabiduría hereditaria que está viva y que requiere ser valorada por los sujetos que forman parte de esta cosmovisión y que requiere ser encauzada desde los diferentes ámbitos del contexto sociocultural del cantón. Todo este contraste nos permitió realizar un análisis crítico concluyendo que la contextualización curricular en oferta educativa es parcial, pues no se evidencia dentro de las planificaciones una adaptación en concordancia con lo sociocultural aunque no se descarta la posibilidad de que el maestro construya el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje desde los saberes previos de los estudiantes de esta propuesta de la EPJA. Curricular contextualization is essential in educational practice, so institutions must promote its application in classrooms, even more so in that of young people and adults, who are subjects with rich social and cultural knowledge. Think that contextualization is the element that should enable the consolidation of this sociocultural reality of our youth and adults. This work aims to identify the degree of contextualization of the high school curriculum of the Campaña Todos ABC de la Unidad Educativa Limón and the socio-cultural development of the Limón Indanza canton, in the 2020-2021. For this research was developed from a qualitative interpretive approach, which seeks to understand the process of construction of knowledge of subjects that are part of a specific reality from the perspective of cultural actors, teachers and high school students, expressed mainly in their traditions; that hereditary wisdom that is alive and that needs to be valued by the subjects that are part of this worldview and that needs to be channeled from the different areas of the sociocultural context of the canton. All this you have told us allowed us to carry out a critical analysis, concluding that the curricular contextualization is partial, since there is no evidence within the plans an adaptation in accordance with the sociocultural, although the possibility that the teacher constructs the teaching-learning process from the prior knowledge of the students of this educational offer.

In the past 40 years, alternative cultural institutions have been established in many Western welfare states to respond locally to the social and urban crises that have arisen in the post-war era. Community centres and workshops for local history and youth offer new opportunities for cultural and social participation and complement the offerings at more traditional cultural infrastructures such as art museums, theatres, and opera houses. Initially borne of grassroots movements that struggled for political recognition and necessary resources in protracted disputes with municipal authorities, these facilities now play important roles in the cultural landscape of many cities. In response to calls for a “democratisation of culture” and social development programmes targeting urban geographical inequalities, these institutions provide accessible and persistent spaces for socialisation, cultural empowerment, and negotiating community concerns. These facilities are often located on brownfields and are material manifestations of socioeconomic change and urban regeneration. Using the relocation of an established socio-cultural centre to a new neighbourhood in the city of Heidelberg, Germany, as an example, we seek to understand the evolving ways political and social relations are formed, negotiated, and challenged through cultural infrastructures. By analysing newspaper coverage, policy documents, and interviews with stakeholders from urban planning, city administration, community work, and resident populations, we map and evaluate shifting planning discourses and forms of embeddedness in the processes of de- and re-localisation. We end by reflecting on more open and nuanced understandings of cultural infrastructures that could generate multiple and diverse outcomes interacting and possibly outbalancing each other.

Der Beitrag reflektiert bedarfsgerechte Stadtplanung und aktivierende Stadtentwicklung von Kleinstädten aus der Praxisperspektive einer Bürgermeisterin. Es werden die Voraussetzungen, die Akteure sowie das (finanzielle) Anreizsystem der Stadtplanung ebenso diskutiert wie aktivierende Stadtentwicklung und deren Instrumente. Dabei wird auf bauliche, sozioökonomische und soziokulturelle Entwicklungen eingegangen, und aus praktischen Erfahrungen werden Schlüsse zu finanziellen und personellen Ressourcen sowie zu Innen- und Außenkommunikation gezogen. The article reflects on needs-based urban planning and activating urban development in small towns from the practice perspective of a mayor. Preconditions, stakeholders and the (financial) incentive system of urban planning are addressed, as is activating urban development and its instruments. This involves discussion of socio-economic and socio-cultural trends and the development of built form. The consideration of practical experience allows conclusions to be drawn for financial and human resources and for internal and external communications.

Društveno kulturne te tehnološke promjene u posljednjih četrdeset godina dovele su do krucijalnih promjena u brojnim sociološkim područjima pa tako i u medij novinske fotografije. Pojavom Poleta, revolucionarnog novinskog oblika koji testira tadašnji režim i uvodi elemente demokracije u svoje izražavanje, novinska fotografija u Hrvatskoj osamdesetih godina, poprima nove oblike. Dok je sveprisutna cenzura do tada oblikovala novinsko izražavanje, i određivala tko i što će imati pravo javnog nastupa, Polet daje novu priliku, manjinskim i marginaliziranim skupinama. Iz tog razloga, ovo istraživanje proučava ulogu novinske fotografije u 80-ima, s ciljem da se kroz kvalitativnu metodu intervjua istraži ulogu novinske fotografije od kasnih sedamdesetih godina pa sve do danas. U ovom istraživanju tri eminentna hrvatska novinska fotografa koji ujedno predstavljaju i tri različite generacije (mladu, srednju i zrelu) pomažu objasniti kakva je situacija danas s obzirom na razdoblje prije tri do četiri desetljeća. Istraživanje donosi zaključke kako su određeni socio-kulturološki aspekti razvoja novinske fotografije u društvu generacijski percipirani te su neizbježno uvjetovani društveno kulturnim kontekstom njezinih tumača. Također, ovo istraživanje ukazuje na neminovne tehnološke razvitke u vidu novinske fotografije, koje osim na brzinu i izravnost pristupa, utječu i na etičke postulate struke., Sociocultural and technological changes in the last forty years have led to crucial changes in many sociological areas, including photojournalism. With the emergence of Polet, a revolutionary new journal format which tests the ongoing regime and brings elements of democracy in it's expression, Croatian 1980's photojournalism achieves new forms. Even though the overarching censorship dictated the journalistic expression, restricting people's right to public speech, Polet gave a new chance to minority and marginalized groups. Considering these circumstances, this research examines photojournalism from the 1980's to today, aiming to explore it's role through qualitative methods like the interview. In this research, three eminent Croatian newspaper photographers who also represent three different generations (young, middle and mature) help explain what the situation is today compared to the period three to four decades ago. The research concludes that certain socio-cultural aspects of the development of newspaper photography in society are generationally perceived and are inevitably conditioned by the socio-cultural context of its interpreters. This research also points to inescapable technological advancements influencing the speed, aproachability and ethical foundations of photojournalism.

Der Diskurs um Digitalisierung ist umfangreich und heterogen. Im Bildungskontext zeigt sich eine eher unreflektierte Begriffsverwendung, was etwa in der Rede von einer unmöglichen Digitalisierung von Bildung gipfelt. Zudem ist der Diskurs von einer westlich-industriellen Perspektive geprägt, die globale Fragen nach ökologischen, ökonomischen, anthropologischen und sozio-kulturellen Bedingungen der Entwicklung, Erzeugung, Nutzung und Entsorgung digitaler Medien außer Acht lässt. Kritisch gefragt: Denken wir etwa über Herstellungsbedingungen neuer Tablets oder die fachgerechte Entsorgung von Altgeräten nach? Wohl wissend, dass der Anspruch, die unterschiedlichen Aspekte der Digitalisierung im Bildungskontext zu kartographieren, vermessen ist, ein nicht abschließbares und damit notwendigerweise unvollständiges Unterfangen darstellt, wagen die Autoren eine Kartographierung einer umfassend gedachten Digitalisierung im Bildungskontext. Jede Kartographierung verringert durch Sammeln und (Neu-)Ordnen Unwissenheit. Ziel des Beitrags ist, die vielschichtigen Perspektiven auf den Diskurs um Digitalisierung freizulegen, die bisher eher verborgen und unthematisiert geblieben sind, um in einem umfassend gedachten Kontext zu verorten. Dabei entstehen unterschiedliche Versionen einer Kartographierung der Digitalisierung im Bildungskontext. (DIPF/Orig.)

Почти тридцатилетний путь новой России и ее социокультурный ландшафт по-прежнему актуализируется идеологией развития: куда идем и с чем? Перспективы поступательного движения усложняются новыми внешними вызовами и угрозами финансово-экономического и военно-политического характера, рассчитанные оппонентами России на ее ослабление и потенциальное расчленение. Крепость государства во многом зависит от состояния его социокультурной системы, внутренней культуры человека и духовных ресурсов всех народов Отечества, гармония и наследие которых определяет направление, перспективы и динамику развития, понимаемых как идеология движения. Анализ данных императивов определяет актуальность статьи. Создание образов и моделирование будущей российской государственности и цивилизации является целью статьи, из которой вытекают задачи определения роли и места взаимодействующих субъектов их развития: человека, общества, культуры и идеологии. Новизна заключается в концептуализации культурно-идеологической аксиоцентричной модели поступательного развития евразийского ареала народов с опорой на историко-культурный опыт их совместного проживания, ценностной основой которого являлась русская (российская) идея всеобщего спасения. Интегратором такой культурно-идеологической модели, потенциально располагающей исторической перспективой, становится парадигма взаимодействующего и витально-созидающего ландшафта: природно-пространственного, антропогенного, социокультурного, человекотворческого, обеспечивающего будущее во взаимообогащающем сотворчестве с мировым сообществом., The relevance of the study of the problems of the interaction of ideology and culture is due to the entry of humankind into a new era of understanding its own purpose, as evidenced by the planetary anthropogenic catastrophe caused, according to some experts, by the pandemic of the artificial coronavirus, when the fruits of scientific research returned like a boomerang for earthlings. This sociocultural drama has exposed all the flaws of the humanitarian impasse, exacerbated the old and highlighted the new external and internal contradictions at the state and civilizational levels. The globalist world order has led to an imbalance in international relations, and the technosphere is in conflict with the original idea of homo sapiens. In such a fatal situation, the human-creative function of culture comes to the fore. In the domestic mentality, this function acquires the meanings of the Russian idea that is salvific for humanity and is understood as the ideology of the development of statehood and civilization in the historical and cultural context. The aim of this article is an integral analysis of the role and influence of ideology and culture on the processes in the development of society, state and civilization, the determinant of which is the human-making mission of all interacting subjects. The author decodes the cultural and ideological centricity of the aim with meaning-making provisions and tasks facing the fundamental subjects, whose strategic functions are changing taking into account the turbulence of world sociopolitical and economic processes, new challenges and threats facing Russia. In this regard, according to the author, with all the achievements of the scientific and technical process and the technical equipment of a certain society, the main subject that sets the artificial techno-force in motion is homo sapiens, their cultural consistency and civic consciousness. They also remain the main active communicator in the external relations of the changing and transforming world community. Therefore, conspiracy theories about the simulacrum of the posthuman subject and the creation of the image of the posthumanself outside society contradict the cultural nature of humans. The imbalance in international relations, the world economic, sociopolitical and sociocultural crisis, resource depletion of the planet, the pandemic of historical memory, disease and fear to a certain extent deform globalist expansion, thus determining the consolidation of national life within the state framework and the priorities of cultural and civilizational preferences. The novelty of this study is the author’s demonstrative attempt to integrate the sociocultural anthropogenic, natural, territorial landscape into the cultural and ideological foundations of Russian statehood and civilization, which reveals the prospects for the historical development of the Eurasian range of peoples. This philosophical and cultural intention of the author is based on the civilizational theories of domestic and a number of foreign researchers, who argued that the peoples of Russia-Eurasia have an ethnocultural and spatial middle continent that has mastered the spiritual and cultural achievements of Eastern and Western civilizations over six centuries and found its original place in history, absorbed the life-giving traditions and values of many ethnic groups and cultures. At the core of this axiocentric place, the author places historical Russia as an axis of world geopolitical balance and geocultural foundation, providing the prospect of human development, subject to the formation of a new state ideology of national development and civilizational community of the Eurasian conglomerate of peoples. The article substantiates not only the provisions of the interacting subjects of society, state, and power, but also proposes the cultural and ideological structure of statehood, coupled with the Russian civilization in the following sequence: national idea – national ideal – national ideology – national development strategy, from which follow concepts, doctrines, programs and projects. The following conclusions are drawn in the article: (1) historical, ideological and sociocultural lessons of the past should be learned in the name of the future of the peoples of Russia and the Eurasian space; (2) the prospects for the development of the Russian landscape with its richest natural, anthropogenic and sociocultural potential, allowing for the development and strengthening of the Eurasian cultural and civilizational identity, are determined; (3) the expediency of defining the foundations of the Russian state ideology, state and national patriotism, coupled with the historical and cultural traditions of peoples, providing their living space and prospects for historical development is updated; (4) measures to optimize domestic policy are proposed: sociocultural, economic, political, spiritual, and moral.

Topicality of the research is considered through the lens of evolution in education and people with disabilities in the conditions of a new model of inclusive environment. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the technology of the development of cultural and social activity of people with disabilities in the conditions of higher education institutions in the process of project activity. Sociocultural, moral, spiritual and tutor support, based on gained experience, should provide students of higher education institutions with the help of self-selection of sociocultural and personal position, the opportunity to confidently express their opinion, to be active, to have their own social position, taking into account moral principles and spiritual inner fullness., Актуальність дослідження розглядається у площині еволюції у сфері освіти та особистості з інвалідністю в умовах нової моделі інклюзивного простору. Україна, ратифікувавши Лісабонську конвенцію та приєднавшись до Болонської декларації, також повинна виконувати всі взяті на себе зобов’язання. Це передусім стосується стратегічного пріоритету забезпечення рівності та соціальної взаємодії в рамках Європейської співпраці в освіті. Власне Україна, як учасниця Болонського процесу, повинна використовувати роль освіт як ключовий інструмент досягнення успішного соціального захисту та розвитку моделі соціальної інклюзії осіб із особливими потребами/інвалідністю. Соціально-культурний, тьюторський та духовно-моральний супровід на основі отриманого досвіду, має надати студентам закладів вищої освіти допомогу на шляху самостійного вибору соціально-культурної та особистісної позиції, можливість впевнено висловлювати свою думку, бути активним, мати власну громадську позицію, враховуючи моральні принципи та духовну внутрішню наповненість. Стаття має на меті продемонструвати проєкт та описати його технологію в процесі реалізації проєктної діяльності, розробленої з урахуванням відсутності узгодження соціальних механізмів та умов культурної активності особистості з обмеженими можливостями та орієнтований на розвиток творчих, культурно-дозвіллєвих та соціальних потреб студентів з інвалідністю в умовах закладів вищої освіти. Соціально-культурний та духовно-моральний супровід розглядається як створення у закладах вищої освіти умов для ефективної, спрямованої та активної самореалізації студентів у навчально-виховному процесі, а, надалі, використання отриманих навичок та позитивного досвіду в соціальній, особистісній та міжособистісній сфері, трудовій та культурній діяльності з урахуванням їхніх психофізичних можливостей, інтересів, принципів та уподобань. Підкреслюється важливість включення тьютора в освітній процес студента, який має мобілізувати внутрішні резерви вихованця для того, щоб у подальшому той сам міг впоратися зі своїми труднощами.

The article is devoted to the problems of the genesis of socio-historical processes of urban culture of the steppe of the Volga region, is based on historical documents, materials of scientific expeditions conducted in the lower Volga region encyclopedic scientists from the second half of the XVIII century, and the results of archaeological research here settlement sites. Based on the fact that the whole history of mankind is the history of the reference person of its economy, the authors believe that the analysis of the spaces of the modern city must be waged simultaneously in multiple coordinate systems – involving knowledge of scientific disciplines such as history and archeology, sociology, Economics etc. Attention is focused on the events in the Volga steppes of socio-economic and cultural-historical transformation, reflected in the distinctive dynamics of sociocultural development of the medieval (Khazar, the Golden Horde, Russian) and modern cities in the region. The authors come to the following conclusions: the city created (and covered by most) throughout the centuries (and even millennia) by many generations, carry a spatial-temporal characteristics and the variety of creative ideas that make them diverse, aesthetically balanced. The growth of these cities, like all living things, inevitably threatens the time, which naturally destroys some of their historical (and in fact – "root") part to "make room" for new construction. To the relentless dynamism of our era was not able to destroy formed for many generations the idea that is subordinated to the formation and development of each particular city, you should each time from a separate historical parts of the city (or temporal-spatial "fragments") to try to reproduce it in its entirety, as the unity and integrity, while maintaining its inherent identity.

Güçlü bir iletişim ve etkileşim ögesi olan halk oyunlarının sosyal ve kültürel alanda birey üzerinde oldukça etkili olduğu bilinmektedir. Halk oyunları aracılığıyla gelecek nesillere kültür ögeleri aktarılarak yaşatılır ve kültürün devamlılığı sağlanır. Yaşam tarzını, dilini ve kültürünü sınır ötesi başka bir ülkeye taşımış, günümüzde Almanya’daki en büyük göçmen grubu oluşturan Türklerin bu ülkedeki eğitimsel, ekonomik ve sosyal birçok sorunu arasında en önemli sorunu kültürlerini korumak, yaşatmak ve yeni yetişen kuşaklara aktarmaktır. Kurulan sivil toplum kuruluşlarında, derneklerde, vakıflarda vb. yerlerde gerçekleşen kültürel ve sosyal etkinlikler içinde çocukların ve gençlerin aktif olarak yer alması desteklenmekte böylece kültürün devamlılığını sağlamak hedeflenmektedir. Ailede başlayıp toplum içerisinde devam eden sosyalleşme sürecinde temel kişilik yapılaşması ve kültürel rolün oluşumunda, kültürel değerlerin özümsenmesinde bu tür kurumların katkısı büyüktür. Münih Alevi Toplumu da bu amaçla kurulan bir kurumdur. Bu çalışmada, 15 yılı kapsayan Münih Alevi Toplumunda düzenlenen halk oyunları etkinliklerinde, Almanya’daki Türk çocuklarının gelişim ve adaptasyon sürecini gözlemlemek üzere aralıklı saha araştırması yapılmıştır. Almanya’da yaşayan, ikinci ve üçüncü nesil Münih Alevi Toplumu katılımcıları ve aileleri üzerinde gerçekleştirilen derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılmış, görüşmelerde odaklanan konular, göçmen çocukların sosyo-kültürel gelişimlerinin yanı sıra, kültürlerini algılama ve uygulama şekillerinin gözlenmesidir. Çalışmadaki temel bulgular, kültürel ve sanatsal yapısıyla birey üzerinde olumlu etkileri olan halk oyunları faaliyetlerinin göçmen çocuklardaki sosyal uyumu geliştirmiş olması, kültürel değerlerin farkındalığının artması, toplumsal, fiziksel, psikolojik, sanatsal ve eğitsel kazanımlarıdır., It is known that folk dances, which are a strong communication and interaction element, have a significant effect on the individual in the social and cultural area. Cultural elements are transferred to future generations through folk dances and the continuity of the culture is maintained. Among many educational, economic and social problems, the most important problem of the Turkish people, who took their life style, language and culture with them beyond borders, to another country, and constitute the largest immigrant group in Germany today, is to preserve their culture, keep it alive and transfer it to new generations. Active participation of children and young people in cultural and social activities held in non-governmental organizations, associations, foundations, etc. is supported, and thus, it is aimed to ensure the continuity of the culture. During the socialization process that starts in the family and continues in the society, the contribution of such institutions is great in the basic personality structuring, formation of the cultural role and assimilation of the cultural values. Munich Alevi Culture Center is an institution established for this purpose. In this study, an interim field research was conducted to observe the development and adaptation process of Turkish children in Germany at folk dance activities organized in the Alevi Community of Munich for 15 years. In-depth interviews were conducted with participants and families of the second and third generations of the Munich Alevi Community in Germany, focusing on the sociocultural development of immigrant children, as well as how they perceive and practice their culture. The main findings of the study are that folk dance activities, which have positive effects on the individual with their cultural and artistic structure, improved social cohesion in immigrant children, increased awareness of cultural values and provided social, physical, psychological, artistic and educational gains.

In this article, such diverse phenomena of Russian sociocultural dynamics as social inertia, modernization, and archaization appear as explanatory constructs in the logic of sociocultural changes that have crisis manifestations. Inertial processes included in the mechanism of sociocultural reproduction are most directly associated with archaic ones, gaining due to them stability and power of influence on the trajectory of sociocultural dynamics. In turn, both of these are triggered by processes associated with changes in the customary logic of sociocultural development. Especially "dangerous" in this context is modernization, symbolizing the transition of society to a qualitatively different (modern) state. Poorly implemented modernization project, which occurs if it is inadequate to the sociocultural specifics of society, activates the inertial regime of sociocultural development, that happened in post-Soviet Russian society. Its diversified ethnocultural and regional landscape with a strong traditionalist component acts as a factor in the transformation of the crisis into an archaic situation as less risky and more understandable. This situation defines inertial scenario of sociocultural development of the Russian society as the most likely in the near future, contrary to the request for changes formed at the level of mass consciousness, associated with stabilization in the format of a well-organized and positively developing society.

A primera vista, es una cuestión de continuidad. En el 60 aniversario de la Revolución cubana, el referéndum propuesto por el gobierno sobre la reforma de la constitución de Cuba el 24 de febrero de 2019 consiguió nada menos que un 87% de votos afirmativos. Dos años después de la muerte de Fidel Castro, la constitución no solo continúa permitiendo un solo partido, sino que también sostiene que el país se guíe por las ideas de "Marx, Engels y Lenin". En el mismo momento en que la "generación histórica" entrega los puestos de mando del Estado a unos líderes más jóvenes, la constitución consagra el compromiso de Cuba con el "internacionalismo proletario" y expresa su convicción de que "solo en el socialismo y el comunismo el ser humano alcanza su dignidad plena" (Constitución de la República de Cuba 2019). El presidente Miguel Díaz-Canel, un año después de tomar el control de manos de Raúl Castro, lideró la campaña pública a favor del "sí" en el referéndum con el hashtag de twitter "#somoscontinuidad". Así pues, ¿nada nuevo bajo el sol del Caribe? No exactamente. Un despliegue público tan exagerado de "continuismo" no sería necesario si los dirigentes no tuviesen dudas al respecto. Ha habido tantos cambios en la sociedad de la isla, así como en el mundo que rodea a Cuba, que en la era post-Castro "continuidad" no puede traducirse simplemente como "seguir haciendo lo de siempre". Este artículo esbozará los cambios y los retos a los que se enfrenta Cuba. Argumenta que si bien el gobierno de Díaz-Canel ha sido tímido en las reformas políticas concretas, trata de establecer un estilo diferente de gobernanza en el socialismo cubano. Aunque a un ritmo lento, podría estar evolucionando una nueva cultura social y política. Sin embargo, la combinación de la crisis en Venezuela con el endurecimiento de las sanciones estadounidenses amenaza con llevarse por delante el fundamento económico sobre el que descansa el enfoque gradualista de Díaz-Canel. Antes bien, el gobierno cubano podría tener que hacer frente a una incómoda alternativa: o bien regresar a "una economía de guerra en tiempos de paz", como en la década de 1990, o bien acelerar el ritmo de la reforma para recuperar el impulso económico y así generar apoyo social.

This article investigates the bureaucratisation of Islam in Brunei and its interlinkages with socio-cultural changes. It elucidates how realisations of state-enforced Islamic orthodoxy and purification produce locally unique meanings, while simultaneously reflecting much broader characteristics of the contemporary global condition. The article first introduces a theoretical perspective on the bureaucratisation of Islam as a social phenomenon that is intimately intertwined with the state's exercise of classificatory power and related popular processes of co-producing, and sometimes appropriating symbolic state power. Second, it outlines the historical trajectory of empowering Brunei's national ideology, Melayu Islam Beraja (MIB). It then explores social imaginaries and bureaucratic representations of “deviant”-declared practices, before illustrating how these practices become reinvented within the parameters of state power as “Sharia-compliant” services to the nation state. Simultaneously, national-religious protectionism is paradoxically expressed in thoroughly globalised terms and shaped by forces the state cannot (entirely) control. Newly established Sharia-serving practices become culturally re-embedded, while also flexibly drawing upon multiple transnational cultural registers. In the main ethnographic example, bureaucratised exorcism, Japanese water-crystal photography and scientisation fuse behind the “firewall” of MIB. These hybrid pathways to orthodoxy complicate the narratives through which they are commonly framed.

The most imporan outcomes of the monitoring are revealed concerning dynamics of the basic sociological and cultural characteristics of students: social status, professional self - determination, values, civil culture, student’s pastime.

В статье дано сопоставление этапов и тенденций развития планировочной структуры города и исторических процессов государственного и локального масштаба. Выделены основные группы факторов, определяющих развитие планировочной структуры. Показаны уникальные аспекты эволюции городского пространства. Особенность Енисейска заключается в сохранении до наших дней облика северного города XVIII—XIX вв. Представляет интерес историческая многослойность города, отражающая как историю архитектуры, так и динамику занятий населения. В то же время вызывает тревогу ситуация, сложившаяся в Енисейске, когда охране и реставрации подлежат только отдельные объекты, а сам исторический город постепенно приходит в упадок. Данный материал позволяет обосновать тезисы о значимости использования пространственных категорий в историческом познании и о необходимости привлечения междисциплинарной работы при изучении городской среды., The article deals with the comparison of stages and tendencies of planning structure development of the city with historical processes of the national and local scale. The main groups of the factors defining development of planning structure are allocated. Unique aspects of evolution of city space are shown. The feature of Yeniseisk consists in maintaining the image of the northern city of the 18th—19th centuries up to now. The historical multiple layers of the city reflecting both architecture history, and evolution of people occupations are of interest. On the other side the situation which has developed in Yeniseisk when only separate objects are under protection and restoration gives rise to concern, and the historical city gradually falls into decay. This material proves taking points about the importance of use of spatial categories in historical knowledge and about need of attraction of crossdisciplinary work when studying the urban environment.
