В статье рассматриваются основные дефиниции пищи и гастрономической культуры, главные методологические подходы к ее исследованию. Главным подходом для анализа гастрономического является философская концептуализация, которая преодолевает узость каждого отдельного дисциплинарного подхода. Таким образом, пища и гастрономическая культура изучаются с разных точек зрения исторической, политологической, социологической, психоаналитической, этнографической. Междисциплинарность подхода к анализу гастрономического получила свое развитие в food studies. В настоящее время food studies включают в себя также философию пищи и гастрономического. ; The basic definitions of the food and the gastronomic culture, and the main methodological approaches to research of the gastronomic culture are analyzed in this artikle. The main approach for the analyze of the gastronomic culture and the food is the philosophical conceptualization which overcomes the narrowness of each separate disciplinary approach. So, the food and the gastronomic culture are studied from different points of view historical, political, sociological, psychoanalytic, ethnographic, etc. Interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of gastronomic was developed in food studies.

In a globalised world with different languages and cultures, learning foreign languages is a necessity for ensuring international communication and understanding. Considering the fact that language and culture are inseparable, learning a language also involves learning the associated culture. The close interdependency between culture and language can be used to contribute to social cohesion and stability, in areas where cultural bias, political and religious hostility is prevalent. Therefore, language teaching practices can be used to eradicate stereotypes and to promote intercultural understanding, universally shared values, which will serve to the peaceful coexistence of different people in the world. Movies chosen appropriately for this purpose, with a rich source of cultural events and varying patterns of human behaviors, seem to be an appropriate tool to enhance the understanding of cultural diversity. This study describes the rationale, ways and activities of using movies in language classrooms as a means of developing the understanding for cultural diversity.

AbstractThis article seeks to explain why such a wide range of Cuban cultural producers have opted to remain on the island and work 'within the revolution', despite all the notorious problems caused by state censorship, political persecution and material shortages. It accounts for the importance of culture to the legitimacy of the revolutionary government; suggests that the regime has drawn effectively on the long-established significance of culture in Cuba's radical tradition; and illustrates the extent to which the government has backed up its rhetoric of commitment to culture for all with a sustained policy of support for institutions, organisations and events across the island. The main argument is that culture has been a key element – perhaps the only successful element – in the revolution's attempt to implement an alternative model of modernity that was distinctive not only from the Western capitalist version but also from that promoted by the Soviet Union.

This paper explores the influence of various philosophical movements, such as Orthodox Christianity, Slavophilism, Westernism, and Eurasianism, on the formation of the distinct path of Russian civilization. It examines the contribution of the Russian emigration after the October Revolution to the development of the national idea, as well as the role of leading Russian thinkers like Ivan A. Ilyin, Nikolai A. Berdyaev, among others, in both apologetics for and criticizing the Russian idea. The study convincingly develops the thesis that the Russian path is not merely a quest for national distinctiveness but also a messianic idea, combining idealism and pragmatism in the pursuit of a synthesis of Eastern and Western cultures. Moreover, it evaluates the concept of the Russian path through the lens of historical uniqueness, Russia's cultural calling, and in the context of contemporary issues such as globalization, political life, and cultural identity. The author of the article raises issues of criticism and realism in philosophy, focusing on debates among representatives of various philosophical movements regarding the role of science, religion and social order in the Russian idea. It centers on concepts such as conciliarity, collectivism, and Russia's messianic role, which are juxtaposed with the individualism and rationalism of Western traditions. In conclusion, the discourse surrounding the concept of the Russian path, as explored through various philosophical lenses, unveils a complex interplay between historical context, cultural heritage, and contemporary challenges. The synthesis of Eastern and Western thought, embodied in the Russian idea, reflects not only a quest for national identity but also a broader aspiration for global significance. This study underscores the ongoing relevance of philosophical inquiry in understanding the trajectory of Russian civilization, inviting further exploration into the dynamics of national identity, cultural distinctiveness, and the global mission of the Russian people.

This article investigates the history of the Queensland cane sugar industry and its cultural and political relations. It explores the way the sugar industry was transformed from an enterprise drawing on the traditional plantation crop cultivated by an unfree labour force and employing workers into an industry that was an important, symbolical element of 'White Australia' that was firmly grounded in the cultural, political, nationalist, and racist reasoning of the day. The demographic and social changes drew their incitement and legitimation from the 'White Australia' culture that was represented in all social strata. Australia was geographically remote but culturally close to the mother country and was assigned a special position as a lone outpost of Western culture. This was aggravated by scenarios of allegedly imminent invasions by the surrounding Asian powers, which further urged cane sugar's transformation from a 'black' to a 'white man's industry'. As a result, during the sugar strikes of the early 20th century, the white Australian sugar workers were able to emphasize their 'whiteness' to press for improvements in wages and working conditions. Despite being a matter of constant discussion, the public acceptance of the 'white sugar campaign' was reflected by the high consumption of sugar. Moreover, the industry was lauded for its global uniqueness and its significance to the Australian nation. Eventually, the 'burden' of 'white sugar' was a monetary, but even more so moral support of an industry that was supposed to provide a solution to population politics, support the national defence, and symbolize the technological advancement and durability of the 'white race' in a time of crisis.

Il volume – che si apre con una lunga introduzione dedicata al giurista come intellettuale e al suo rapporto con il potere in particolare negli anni che videro l'affermazione del fascismo – raccoglie una serie di saggi incentrati ciascuno su un diverso giurista attivo negli anni '10 e '20 del Novencento (E. Betti, P. Bonfante, P. de Francisci, G. Del Vecchio, E. Ferri, A.C. Jemolo, L. Lucchini, V.E. Orlando, Al. e Ar. Rocco, S. Romano, A. Solmi). L'intento comune è quello di ricostruire il differente percorso intellettuale che condusse tanti autorevoli studiosi delle diverse discipline giuridiche (provenienti da varie e distanti posizioni ideali e politiche) ad aderire al movimento dei 'fasci' nel momento in cui questo muoveva i primi passi e si avviava a conquistare il potere in Italia. Il volume si chiude con un'analisi della comparabile esperienza dei giuristi spagnoli di fronte al franchismo.Autori dei vari contributi sono: I. Birocchi, M. Brutti, G. Chiodi, F. Colao, C. Fantappiè, L. Garlati, C. Lanza, M. Lucchesi, V. Marotta, S. Martín, M.N. Miletti, A. Musumeci, F. Petrillo, D. Quaglioni.After a wide introduction focused on the jurist as intellectual especially during the years in which fascism was growing, the present volume offers a number of essays devoted to different italian jurists of the years 1910 - 1920 (E. Betti, P. Bonfante, P. de Francisci, G. Del Vecchio, E. Ferri, A.C. Jemolo, L. Lucchini, V.E. Orlando, Al. and Ar. Rocco, S. Romano, A. Solmi). The common purpose consist in putting under light the intellectual path which brought each of these scholars (coming from different ideal and political positions) to adhere to the fascism especially when Mussolini was moving his first steps toward the conquest of the power in Italy. The volume is closed by an analysis of the comparable experience of the Spanish jurists under the Franco's regime.The contributors are: I. Birocchi, M. Brutti, G. Chiodi, F. Colao, C. Fantappiè, L. Garlati, C. Lanza, M. Lucchesi, V. Marotta, S. Martín, M.N. Miletti, A. Musumeci, F. Petrillo, D. Quaglioni.

Our research aims to trace afro-descendant resistance culture in peasant and urban people against another social force represented by landlords like Francisco Xavier Fernández de Paredes in La Chira Valley, Querecotillo, Piura. Archival judicial documentation from Piura and Lima introduced us to a rural social world with gaps and asymmetries between Indian law and social practice, while recurrence of an illegal colonial model in regions and provinces allowed us to acquaint the nature of collective protest actions, from peasant mobilizations of hatred to bloody movements that broke social peace of landlords, peasants, and cattlemen. We examined 1814-1817 events, a political situation of regional crisis. In this social time, subdelegate and mayors of San Miguel de Piura were able to see two social movements functioning but still not in an articulated manner; the first was the «savage» cimarrones and, the second was the gang of José Sapata (a) Palomo, accused of being a bandit who has traveled through cities such as Lima and Piura. ; Nuestra investigación busca rastrear las huellas de toda una cultura afrodescendiente de resistencia en el campesinado y de la gente de la ciudad contra otra fuerza social representado por los hacendados como don Francisco Xavier Fernández de Paredes en el valle de La Chira, Querecotillo, provincia de Piura. La documentación judicial de archivo nos permite ahora introducirnos al mundo social rural para conocer los abismos existentes entre el derecho indiano y la práctica social, el mundo social asimétrico y la reproducción de un modelo colonial ilegal en las regiones y provincias para conocer la naturaleza de las acciones de protesta colectiva que transitaban de explosiones de odio campesino hacia movimientos sangrientos que rompían la paz social y de vida de señores y de campesinos labradores de la tierra y ganaderos cotidianos. Examina los acontecimientos de una coyuntura política de crisis regional entre los años de 1814-1817. Es un tiempo social en la que el subdelegado y los alcaldes de SM de Piura han podido percatarse del funcionamiento de dos movimientos sociales todavía no articulados; el primero es el de los cimarrones salteadores y de otro lado, la cuadrilla de José Sapata (a) Palomo, acusado de bandolero que ha recorrido ciudades como Lima y Piura. Esta investigación utiliza los fondos documentales guardados en los archivos judiciales regionales de Piura y Lima.

"Since late eighteenth-century Enlightenment, the concept of civil society has increasingly assumed a transnational dimension that has given rise to political debates and attracted scholarly interest. This paper provides a research report and a historical overview of the emergence and transformation of civil society organizations that have transcended national borders and cultural boundaries, especially International Non-Governmental Organizations. Based on deliberations about the definition and conceptualization of 'transnational civil society', the investigation concentrates on the abolitionists, the workers' organizations as well as on peace and on women's movements. The authors suggest that further historical studies of
transnational civil society should relate its groups and activists to specific contexts and conditions. They also argue that further research should pay particular attention to the actors of transnational civil society, their performance and representations. Overall, static conceptions of transnational civil society have ignored its flexibility and changeability over the course of the last two centuries." (author's abstract)

Free and EqualWhat Would a Fair Society Look Like?by Daniel Chandler(Penguin/Allen Lane, 2023)416 pagesDescriptionImagine: you are designing a society, but you don't know who you'll be within it - rich or poor, man or woman, gay or straight. What would you want that society to look like? This is the revolutionary thought experiment proposed by the twentieth century's greatest political philosopher, John Rawls. As economist and philosopher Daniel Chandler argues in this hugely ambitious and exhilarating intervention, it is by rediscovering Rawls that we can find a way out of the escalating crises that are devastating our world today.Taking Rawls's humane and egalitarian liberalism as his starting point, Chandler builds a careful and ultimately irresistible case for a progressive agenda that would fundamentally reshape our societies for the better. He shows how we can protect free speech and transcend the culture wars; get money out of politics; and create an economy where everyone has the chance to fulfil their potential, where prosperity is widely shared, and which operates within the limits of our finite planet. This is a book brimming with hope and possibility - a galvanising alternative to the cynicism that pervades our politics. Contents [Preview]Introduction1. What's Fair2. A New Social Contract3.

"Culture- and event-led regeneration have been catalysts for the transformation of redundant urban port areas and for the reframing of the image of many port cities, which notably feature among mega-event bidding and host cities. However, there is little understanding of the impacts of these processes on port-city relationships, as well as of how port city cultures shape mega events and the related regeneration strategies. This book examines the underexplored mutual links between, on the one hand, urban and socio-economic regeneration driven by cultural and sporting mega events and, on the other hand, the spatial, political and symbolic ties between cities and their ports. By adopting a cross-national, comparative perspective, with in-depth case studies (Hull, Rotterdam, Genoa and Valencia) and examples from other port cities across the world where mega events were held, the book engages with issues such as the tension between port and cultural uses, reactions and opposition to mega events in port cities, clashing urban imaginaries drawing on port activity and culture, the role of port authorities and companies in the city's cultural life, the spectacularisation and commodification of local maritime culture and heritage, processes of cultural demaritimisation and remaritimisation of port cities. This book is therefore a contribution towards the bridging of port city and mega event studies, and it provides insights for port city policy makers and mega event promoters, drawing from a range of international experiences. The book also shows how societal and political change in the current 'ontologically-insecure' times may undermine the very paradigm of culture- and event-led regeneration in the years to come"--
