The efforts of the Reagan Administration to cut government funding for the arts and the social sciences reflects not only a general desire to curtail government spending but also a specific conservative effort to "defund the Left" by eliminating especially those programs regarded by conservatives as the basic source of liberal and radical social change in the United States. This paper examines the conservative animus against government support for the arts and the social sciences. The discussion has four parts: The first traces the history of contemporary American conservatism and identifies its central ideological themes. The second argues that the belief that government and intellectuals are the two main sources of liberal social change has led conservatives to target government programs allegedly guilty of social activism and to develop their own relatively autonomous counterintellectual network. The third examines how this political agenda and institutional structure have influenced conservative opposition to government funding of the social sciences and the arts. The final part suggests some implications our analysis has for defending the social sciences and the arts.

The need to study the experience of political modernization in Kazakhstan is determined by the fact that the modern Russian Federation largely exhausted the inertial potential of the 1990s, trying to build a model of political modernization, which took into account the national (Russian), world (Western) and regional experience of political and social reforms.The aim of the study was to identify the features of political modernization in Kazakhstan. Based on this goal the following tasks were solved:• to define theoretical and methodological aspects of political modernization;• to identify the features of the study of political modernization in modern political science;• to study the basic concepts of political modernization and features of modernization processes in posttraditional societies.To implement the above goals and solve problems were used methods of discourse analysis. That is why the theoretical and methodological basis of the work is based on the methods developed in the framework of studies of political modernization.

Addresses the history of harm reduction. It evaluates the consequences and constraints, stakes and costs of the policy of needle exchange for the purposes of harm prevention and health research. Vitellone situates the syringe at the centre of empirical research and theoretical analysis, challenging existing accounts of drug injecting which treat the syringe as a dead device that simply facilitates social action between humans. Instead, this book complicates the relationship between human and object - injecting drug user and syringe - to ask what happens if we see the object as an intra-active part of the sociality that constitutes injecting practices.

In this study, master's theses written in the field of Library and Information Science (LIS) in Turkish Universities were analyzed. This study aims to identify and discuss the trends of studies dealing with LIS in Turkey. The research was conducted using qualitative research and, the data were collected and analyzed through content analysis. Master's theses were accessed through the National Theses Database of the Council of Higher Education. The theses were categorized under a total of 6 titles according to their distribution over the years and types, types of investigation, data-collection method, social level, University distributions, and topics. The classification schemes for topics, research methods, data collection methods, and social levels of LIS used in the content analysis were those based on Järvelin and Vakkari's. As a result of the study, it is seen that the year when the highest number of theses were completed is 2019 (18,34%), the theses handled mostly the topic of research on library and information service activities (10,04%). The number of theses written is higher at Hacettepe University (28,38%) than any of the other Universities. It is noteworthy that the university, which stands out in its graduate studies, is a member of iSchool. Keywords: Library and Information Science, Master's Theses in Turkey, Qualitative Analysis, Content Analysis, Research Trends.

La recherche en sciences sociales, singulièrement en milieu étranger, soulève des questions d'ordre épistémologique, éthique, juridique et politique. Les réponses apportées jusqu'alors sont fortement marquées de subjectivisme. Non seulement la discipline s'autodéfinit mais c'est encore elle qui justifie les modalités de son propre exercice, se distinguant soi-même d'autres types de savoirs sociaux. Or la personnalité historique de l'être social objet d'une investigation, fût-elle scientifique, implique que celle-ci s'inscrive dans un cadre contractuel (plus ou moins formel) dans lequel il exprimera son consentement à l'observation à laquelle il est soumis. Sans quoi, la recherche en sciences sociales relève plus du fait que du droit.
