Abstract
India has the highest number of Instagram users in the world. This article examines Instagram, the mobility, and the digital media practices of Delhi Metro commuters before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, it looks at their photography of everyday lived experiences, their mediated interactions with one another, and the visible-invisible infrastructure in the city. It draws attention to the complexity of digital production, personal archiving, and circulation networks at play. Foregrounding the changing 'geographies of social media', a qualitative, digital ethnographic approach analyses these images' visual, social, and contextual aspects. Also, a range of convergent practices related to individuals, places, and socio-cultural-political-economic-technological realities influence the images. Eventually, a narrative emerges on how these metro travellers inhabit offline and online public spaces, exchange cultural capital, and perform the affective, mediated negotiation of the city.

Psychological phenomena have long been a focus of research on democratic deliberation, particularly concerning policy knowledge and attitudes and other issues addressed in conventional scholarship on political psychology. Yet in recent years, the subject matter of psychological research on deliberation has expanded to include a wider array of issues, ranging from lay conceptualizations of deliberation, to phenomena not foregrounded in traditional political psychology scholarship, including emotions, social identity, communication goals, relational schemata, and social learning. This essay summarizes key findings from prior research on psychological dimensions of deliberation, and then delineates recent deliberative scholarship that explores a broader range of psychological phenomena. Finally, this essay introduces the six new articles that make up this special issue. These articles offer novel theoretical and empirical insights on a number of current themes concerning psychological aspects of deliberation, while expanding knowledge concerning established areas of inquiry.

This
paper aims to analyze the perception of the state in the writings of early
Muslim intellectuals, particularly al-Farabi, al-Mawardi, Nizam al-Mulk,
al-Ghazzali, Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Khaldun. All of these six intellectuals have
a massive contribution in developing Muslim or Islamic political thought. This paper
intended to find the answer of following questions regarding the concept of
state from their writings: firstly, the debate around the birth of state;
religious or social need? Secondly, if it is a social need, then what about the
aspect of religion in the state? Finally, what about the influence of existing
politics on their thought? This research is a qualitative form of research
based on both primary and secondary data. It is hoped that this paper will
contribute to the academia by analyzing the perception of state of Early Muslim
intellectuals within the present context.

Whereas most sociologists consider sexuality a social construct, the general public tends to view it in more essentialist terms. This tendency is commonly manifested in the idea of sexual drives as internal overpowering biological forces guiding human sexual behavior. To counter this narrative, sociologists William Simon and John H. Gagnon introduced a concept of sexual scripts to demonstrate the social underpinnings of sexuality and the narratives surrounding it. Drawing on their insights, I used the popular phenomenon of "Netflix and Chill" to teach students about the socially constructed nature of human sexuality. During class time, I ask students to put together a sexual script—step-by-step instructions—on how to successfully complete Netflix and Chill. This activity teaches students about the learned aspects of our sexual behavior and is effective both for in-person and online learning environments.

Este trabajo sostiene que los efectos catastróficos de la Pandemia COVID-19 en países dependientes y dominados por las metrópolis del capitalismo global, como México, se agravan por el colonialismo interno que reproduce el neo-imperialismo internacional. Por ello, las políticas públicas en contra de la pandemia y sus desastrosas consecuencias sociales deben enfocarse en el combate y superación del colonialismo interno. En este trabajo nos centraremos particularmente en los aspectos culturales, cognoscitivos y políticos del colonialismo interno. ; This work argues that the catastrophic effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on countries dependent on and dominated by global capitalist metropolis, such as Mexico, are aggravated by the internal colonialism and neo-imperialism. Therefore, public policies against the pandemic and its disastrous social consequences must focus on overcoming internal colonialism. This paper will focus particularly on the cultural, cognitive and political aspects of internal colonialism.

The paper presents John Rawls positions on social justice and political liberalism, namely thus two theoretical standpoints later served to develop one of the currents in the theorizing of deliberative democracy. Adhering to the definition of public reason and procedures for building consensus on the public good, Rawls in his early and later works developed a concept of political decision-making that takes into account the optimality of the solutions offered and the full legitimacy of the policy-making process. The current inspired by theories of deliberative democracy has been widely criticized for its political approach, which does not show sensitivity to the sociological aspects of policy-making and political decision-making. This is especially true of the way he postulates his two principles of social justice as impartiality and the expectation on sociologically naive pedestals to form and accept the rules of deliberation.

The fundamental work offered for consideration presents the results of fortyyear sociological research of the phenomenon of youth, one of the main goals ofwhich was to justify an effective youth policy. It is argued that overall the domestic version of sociology of youth, it being a sub-discipline of sociology, has a century of history and in a number of aspects is superior to its foreign counterpart. The book highlights how important it is in regards to socio-economic development and political progress for Russian youth to possess such qualities as morality, national orientation, a high level of culture, innovativeness, entrepreneurial spirit, health, all of which imply their active inclusion into social practices. To this end, it is necessary to modernize the system of youth policy management, strengthening the possibilities of effective interaction between the state, the youth community, social institutions and civil society.

This paper addresses a rather understudied aspect of the ways through which protests get translated into policies by focussing on the actors, spaces and processes. It further identifies key actors in the policy making formulation process, which we call 'policy intermediaries'. It discusses the emergence of 'policy intermediaries' in relation to the history of social movements in post-colonial India. It situates the policy making processes in the country and the role of 'policy intermediaries' therein, in the overall context of changing configurations of relationships amongst the state, non-governmental organisations, think tanks and the emergent transnational networks and discourses. By implication, it maps out some of the attributes of middle class activism with illustrations from select social movements in India. The paper explores the multiple spaces in which 'policy intermediaries' function, the diverse roles they play and the networks in which they are wilfully or otherwise enmeshed.

AbstractCorporate social responsibility (CSR) is a concept aimed to ensure that corporations conduct their business in an ethical manner by taking care of their environment and human resources in addition to their economic impact. Often times, CSR refers to the steps undertaken by a corporation to measure its efforts to improve the environment and social well‐being. One of the aspects of CSR pertains to the disclosure of emission information and carbon management strategy (CMS). Carbon Management refers to analyzing and focusing on those areas within the corporation where cost reductions can be made via energy reductions, waste management, and reduced resource consumption. In this article, we examine the role of an effective CMS on the emission disclosure behavior of firms. We utilize the carbon disclosure project surveys to find that firms adopting an effective CMS are more likely to disclose the information about both direct and indirect emissions.

Despite the importance of the subject, few researches have attempted to explain the female labor force participation (FLFP) in MENA region. This research tries to exploring the geopolitical, social, ethnic and economic levers or constraints that facilitate or bloc women's access to the labor market. A quantitative approach based on data analysis was performed through the review of the World Bank statistics related to women participation in the labor market in MENA region. Data analysis revealed that the studied labor market was marked by an overall positive progress of the presence of female workers. However, this evolution is still considered very low and slow in comparison with world standards. The research also revealed huge disparities in the level of progress of the FLFP among the studied countries. The disparities observed were interpreted in correlation with the religious, economic, political, social and cultural aspects.

This paper aims to present a study of parental models in fathers and mothers, considering this institution as the space where economic, politic and social transformations produced by the social dynamics are reflected in several ways. The concept of parental models is understood as the set of norms and rules that regulate behaviors (breeding patterns), model of communications based on the time of coexistence and the ways tos how affection (links of attachment), and the promotion of guidelines linked to success (success patterns), aspects explored with the Atribucional Questionnaire on Parental Models (Martìnez et al., 2014), applied to 1900 families from the five municipalities that make up the Chontalpa region of the State of Tabasco. The study reveals that parents use negotiating and rigid breeding patterns, warm and close ties of attachment and patterns success counselors and promoters.

This article considers the relationship between depressed affect, a long-term refugee situation, and poetry among Afghan refugees in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Based on ethnographic fieldwork on the changing subjectivities of Afghan refugee poets, it explores the relationship between a perception of collective suffering, individual mental distress, and creativity in this community. Rather than establishing diagnostic criteria for depression among Afghans, the article is mostly concerned with the social and cultural ripples of psychological distress resulting from decades of war, displacement, and marginalization in the host country. It seeks to complicate biomedical understandings of depression by drawing on anthropological studies of dysphoria in Iran and on the collective experience of social suffering and structural violence. Through a discussion of four poets and their work, it explores the productive aspects of depression and the therapeutic, political, and transcendental potential of writing poetry.

Drawing on historical data largely relating to Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC), this article examines the early professionalisation of accountancy as a gendered process. Mobilising Acker's (1990) theory of the ideal worker, this article highlights articulations of an ideal professional accountant, coded as male and masculine in the gendering of professional skills and knowledge, image management, networking and social class. Additionally, social changes such as WW1 reshaped the masculine nature of the ideal professional accountant in PwC, emphasising a militaristic masculinity, to support the war effort. While women were temporarily employed in accountancy clerical jobs in wartime, this does not appear to have re-gendered PwC as an organisation inclusive of femininity and women. However, it is noted that some middle-class women challenged exclusionary professional practices within accountancy. The implications of the gendered aspects of the professionalisation of accountancy are discussed throughout the article.
