The present paper describes the background of the policy development of multicultural education in the Visegrad countries (Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovak Republic). Since 1990s, due to the steady democratization processes of these societies, the social diversity has been reemerged again in this region, gaining special significance at the time of the EU joining and integration. It is stated that changes in society are undoubtedly linked with changes in education. The purpose of this article is to present a context in which the multicultural education has become a domain of the public policies in the V4 with special attention paid to the needs of contemporary societies which are becoming more and more diversified due to the arrival of economic migrants. The author strives to answer the question: should multicultural aspects remain only a theoretical approach to the education or should they be within the domain of the public social cohesion policy ; The present paper describes the background of the policy development of multicultural education in the Visegrad countries (Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovak Republic).

В статье с философской и социальной точек зрения анализируются требующие незамедлительного решения проблемы отечественной высшей профессиональной школы. Показано, что ее положение и перспективы дальнейшего развития нельзя рассматривать в отрыве от сложных, болезненных процессов, протекающих в обществе, и без учета кардинальных социально-экономических преобразований, происшедших в конце XX начале XXI в. Современное российское общество, находящееся в ситуации культурного кризиса, столкнулось с необходимостью поиска новых направлений развития в культурном, политическом, экономическом и социальном контекстах. Кризис компетентности специалистов явился следствием снижения требований к их образованности и ослабления роли профессионального образования как феномена культуры. Усиление культурологического аспекта профессиональной деятельности становится условием становления ее носителей, осознающих общественную значимость своей профессии, и актуализирует проблему качественной профессиональной подготовки, результатом которой должна стать сформированная компетентность. Авторами статьи доказывается, что культурологический аспект -один из важнейших в реализации проектов гуманизации и гуманитаризации профессионального образования, поскольку современная культура выступает, с одной стороны, эффективным фактором созидания и совер шенствования мира, а с другой инструментом самопознания и самоизменения человека. ; The paper looks at the urgent problems of the Russian higher vocational school from a philosophical and social viewpoint, and maintains that its current situation and prospects should be analyzed in the context of complicated social processes and socio-economic reorganizations undertaken at the turn of the 20th 21st centuries. Facing the cultural crisis, the Russian society requires new cultural, political, economic and social ways out. The research shows that a considerable decline in the specialists' competence level results from the low education quality requirements and decreasing social status of vocational education. The authors emphasize the culture study aspects of professional activity and regard them as the basis for vocational training quality assurance and professional competence acquisition. In authors' opinion, the aspect of culture studies remains the most important in the process of liberalization and humanization of vocational education, since the modern culture is an effective instrument of world perfection as well as students' self-development and self-understanding.

En este artículo se presenta una reflexión conceptual referida a la noción de territorio, el espacio y sus procesos de apropiación en los sectores populares, con el propósito de contribuir a la construcción de herramientas analíticas útiles para los diversos estudios territoriales contemporáneos en América Latina. Principalmente, en esta dirección, se recupera una noción de territorio que captura la riqueza de las múltiples dimensiones que lo (re) configuran. Es decir, la articulación entre la trama de relaciones sociales, políticas y económicas que se despliegan, constituyen y reelaboran en un espacio particular, temporalmente situado. A partir de allí, se profundizan los vínculos existentes entre el espacio percibido, concebido y vivido buscando revelar la trascendencia que esa dinámica trialéctica asume en el despliegue de la vida cotidiana de los sectores populares. Dado que constituye el contexto de sentido donde los sujetos (re)construyen la subjetividad social, la aprehensión identitaria y el apego al lugar. ; This article shows a reflection relating to the concept of territory, space and its appropriation processes in popular areas. The purpose of this is to contribute to the construction of useful analytical tools for various contemporary territorial studies in Latin America. In this respect, a concept of territory with all its numerous aspects is picked up. In other words, the articulation between the theme of social, political and economic relations that are displayed, constituted and remade in a certain time and space. From there, the existing links between the perceived, conceived and lived space go in depth, trying to show the importance that the dynamics of these three aspects has in everyday life of popular areas. This constitutes the context where individuals (re)build social subjectivity, identity apprehension and closeness to the place. ; Fil: Vila, Mariana Paola.

"A computer-assisted content analysis (Bolasco 2000) of seven textbooks currently used for history teaching in Italian high schools was carried out to examine to what extent past atrocities perpetrated during Italy's African colonial wars are acknowledged and taught. More specifically, the authors investigated the relative importance these texts devote to teaching established historical facts or to achieve socio-psychological aims, such as advancing reconciliation processes and protecting the in-group's social identity. Social psychologists working in the field of intergroup reconciliation usually consider these two aims as partially competing. The models reviewed by Nadler et al. (2008a) all consider the need to protect personal social identity as a source of biases, which the search for historical truth has to accommodate. In contrast, a recent work by Pratto and Glasford (2008) stresses that social identity can play a positive role as a powerful motivation for reconciliation. They suggest that acknowledging historical faults may assist the difficult process of finding a balance between the need for self-esteem and self-integrity and the need to belong. Their results seem to confirm certain aspects of the first group of models, and other aspects of Pratto and Glasford's review. The crucial point seems to be the use of abstract or concrete terms to describe in-group wrongdoings. Strikingly, more than seventy years after the Italian colonial wars only three textbooks out of seven fully describe atrocities perpetrated by the in-group using clear, concrete terminology; this is consistent with the idea of a tension between reconciliation and justice. On the other hand, the more concrete descriptions, although less frequent, seem better able to protect the in-group's self-integrity by showing their young readers a clearer acceptance of moral responsibility for the historical faults of their group."

This article looks at the problems of integration experienced by immigrants from the Maghreb. Economic, social, political and cultural aspects all influence integration. In the labour market, immigrants tend to target sectors which demand minimal professional qualifications and offer salaries below those of the non-immigrant population. In the social arena, two aspects stand out; schooling and housing. The children of immigrants experience difficulties at school due to material and social conditions, but also as a result of cultural diversity. As regards housing, immigrants tend to gravitate towards certain neighbourhoods which, at times, can give rise to the impression of an "invasion". In the political sphere, the possibility of participation is limited, leading to the situation of "less rights", unless the host country's nationality is adopted, which in itself does not guarantee better integration. The right to culture receives less recognition, but nevertheless has a significant effect on integration. The main obstacles to integration are located in the labour market and in social discrimination. Lastly, reference is made to the situation of these immigrants in Spain. ; "Querían brazos, han recibido hombres". Así resumía el sociólogo francés Alain Touraine la problemática de la integración. Ésta sigue siendo una cuestión muy amplia y muy compleja; compleja porque el estatus del inmigrante y su condición varían en función de varios parámetros. La integración de los emigrantes nos lleva a una problemática de diferentes niveles. En primer lugar, plantea un problema de conceptualización: ¿qué es la integración? Seguidamente, requiere una presentación de los sujetos de la integración, grupo heteróclito cuya heterogeneidad se sitúa a varios niveles: la nacionalidad, el entorno de origen, la edad, el sexo, el nivel educativo, lo cual nos lleva a un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de la población inmigrante. El tercer aspecto hace referencia a los espacios de la integración: el espacio económico, político, ...

Title page Introduction Travel, Travel Writer and Travel Writing Byron and the Construction of Persia through European Discourses Byron and the Network of Power: India and Russia Byron and the Aspects of Power in Persia Byron and Persian Architecture: Embodiment of Power Conclusion: Travel and Self-understanding: Byron s Metamorphosis Illustrations Notes Bibliography ; This study is an attempt to bring Robert Byron (1905-1941) out of libraries of the world to be considered and reconsidered in the field of humanities and social sciences. It traces the historical lines of travel and travel writing, briefly, in order to clarify the significance of An Essay on India (1931), First Russia, then Tibet (1933) and The Road to Oxiana (1937) by looking at the history of travel writing as well as the relationship of travel accounts to colonization, i.e. Westernization/Europeanization. Moreover, it illustrates the place of Byron within the history of travel and travel writing; i.e., it depicts the differences and affinities in Byron s writings and objectives to other travel writers objectives in travelling to Persia and presenting this country. By tracing the aspects of power, as a leitmotif in his travel books, in the social strata of the travellees, Byron politicizes his travel books. For instance, in The Road to Oxiana, he, satirically, traces Reza Shah s tyranny and its impact on the people s life, the absurdity in social strata, the decline of British imperialism and the growth of American hegemony in Persia. In An Essay on India, he shows the impact of the British imperial eye/I on Indian identity; and in First Russia, then Tibet, he illustrates the presence of the Bolshevik Iron Heel and the deformity created by the proletariat dictatorship in the Russian social and cultural context. In The Road to Oxiana, architecture plays an important role through which the possibility of understanding the Other and the Self are matched with each other. Byron s understanding of the nations is through their narrations embodied in ...

It is within the EU primal desire that any improvement in Education and training contributes to strengthening growth and competitiveness of Europe as Latinamerica notes U.S. and Europe. In the old continent is highlighted repeatedly the need to go beyond the purely economic aspects of development, but to consider the individual's personal fulfillment as one of the key objectives of education and training. It is also worth noting that one of the factors underlining this future European continental conjunction is precisely the variable of multiculturalism.We want to highlight the proposed EU educations aspects as deserving their attention to quality, multicultural disadvantaged status, the promotion of intercultural understanding through the language and the actual development of international projects such as for example, Erasmus.

El artículo estudia la conformación de multitudes católicas durante el Congreso Eucarístico Nacional de 1940, celebrado en la ciudad de Santa Fe (Argentina), desde una perspectiva sociocultural que destaca la multidimensionalidad del fenómeno y los vínculos entre el catolicismo y la sociedad de masas. Con dicho fin, el Congreso es abordado a través de diferentes claves: la cultura de masas, la industria del turismo, el discurso publicitario, el consumo, la lógica del espectáculo. Finalmente, a la luz de los resultados obtenidos, se ensaya un análisis de la dimensión política, con el propósito de comprender el modo en que dichos procesos alimentaron la retórica del "mito de la nación católica" y contribuyeron a fortalecer las posiciones de la Iglesia Católica en la política argentina. ; The article discusses the formation of Catholic crowds during the National Eucharistic Congress of 1940, held in the city of Santa Fe (Argentina) from a cultural perspective that emphasizes the multidimensionality of the phenomenon and the links between Catholicism and mass society. To that end, the Congress is analyzed from different aspects: mass culture, the tourism industry, advertising discourse, consumption, the logic of the spectacle. Finally, in light of the results obtained, the political dimension is analyzed, in order to understand how these processes fueled the rhetoric of the "myth of the Catholic nation," and helped strengthen the positions of the Catholic Church in 20th-century Argentinean politics. ; Fil: Mauro, Diego Alejandro.

This book provides a critical account of the main controversies involving Norman Geras, one of the key modern political thinkers. It moves from his youthful Trotskyism on to his book on Rosa Luxemburg, then his classic account of Marx and human nature, and his highly regarded discussion of Marx and justice. Following this, Geras tried to elaborate a Marxist theory of justice, which involved taking on-board aspects of liberalism. Next he attacked the post modernism of Laclau and Mouffe and criticised Rorty's pragmatism, and then elaborated a contract of mutual indifference from a detailed study of the Holocaust. Lastly he wrote a book on human rights and humanitarian intervention, defending the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Cowling varies from exposition and admiration, to ideas about how Geras's work should be interpreted, to criticism of his Trotskyism and of his support for the invasion of Iraq. The book will appeal to readers interested in Norman Geras and Marxism in particular, and social and political theory in general.

"From Legacy Media to Going Viral: Generational Media Use and Citizen Engagement examines how the prominent media available shapes each rising generation of citizens. The authors discuss how global and national events along with the media each generational group most frequently accessed defined these groups. Drawing on interdisciplinary social science insights into social media and civic and political engagement, the book contextualizes the civic and political rise of the Millennials and Gen Z with comparative insights from Gen X and the Baby Boomers. With a focus on emergent patterns of American citizenship, the authors examine issues such as a decline in social trust, new and sustained patterns of civic and political engagement, and the continuing importance of political consumerism. Looking beyond the impact of media on youth and issues of civic and political generational change, this book explores how the media accessible to each American generation contributes to that generation's collective experience thus solidifying their civic and political attitudes. The book will be of interest to students and scholars concerned with civic and political engagement, political consumerism and media use, in the areas of media studies, advertising, communication, journalism, political science and sociology"--

This is a first of its kind book which examines the remittances in the two largest corridors in the World: India-Saudi ArabiaandMexico-U.S.A. This book aims to treat remittances as an act of social norm involving individuals, nation-states, and diaspora communities. It treats remittances both as an act of individual obligation as well as a social fact that needs to be understood from the perspective of the actors, i.e., the givers and recipients. Using theories of motives of giving, policy analysis, international development, and international relations, the authors offer a compelling narrative of how and why remittances occur and the impacts on both the giver and recipient. The authors - both scholars of philanthropy and remittances - bring their shared perspective and understanding of this crucial phenomenon and delve deep into examining its impacts on community development and the relations between the nation-states. This book offers a sophisticated understanding of how vital remittances are to the world we live in. The book sheds light on this important social reality and will be of value to researchers, academics, and students interested in remittances, as well as to practitioners working in the international development sector, NGO actors, and policy makers.
