Abstract
Irrespective of the growing awareness of the importance of imagination, those interested in imagination as an activity are bound to be disappointed by the lack of the actionable advice on how to actually engage in the activity of imagining in a more conscious and, hopefully productive manner. While I am still convinced that the study of constitutional imagination won't get very far without a more systematic and comprehensive speculation on the features of imagination in action, in the time that has passed since the publication of my book I also came to realize that such an endevour, must take into account the aspects of constitutional imagination which are specific both to the forms that mediate it, as well as to the formats and formulations, on which constitutional scholars rely on in communicating the content of their mental images. With this in mind, I approach the highly stimulating comments of my four colleagues below.

This interview was initiated by Natalie J. Doyle in Paris, a few months only after the publication in 2017 of Le nouveau monde, the last volume of Marcel Gauchet's four volume history of liberal democracy, published over the course of ten years. It was then continued via email over the course of the following four years.
Le nouveau monde offers a wide-ranging historical and theoretical analysis of the contemporary crisis of Western liberal-democratic culture on which the 2020 pandemic has thrown more light because of the neo-authoritarian management of the heath crisis in the Western world. In 2021, it was thus seen necessary to extend the interview to include questions about this reassertion of the political in Western societies but in an illiberal form.

AbstractThis study explored in the Finnish context whether additional income support for economically insecure households reduces the demand for child protection services at the municipality level. The data were retrieved from the Official Statistics of Finland from 294 municipalities in 2017–2019. Mediation and moderation analyses were used for testing the hypotheses. According to the results, household economic insecurity was associated with the demand for child protection services. The more economically insecure households there were in a municipality, the greater the demand for child protection services. On the other hand, additional income support has a buffering effect between household economic insecurity and the demand for child protection services. However, the effect of additional income support depends on the proportion of economically insecure households in a municipality. The degree of buffering effect was increasing when the proportion of household economic insecurity was also increasing.

The current study intends to examine the job satisfaction among the government universities' faculty in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Two stage cluster random sampling is used to identify teachers for taking information. Five clusters (universities) are selected in the first stage. Then, education departments within universities are considered as clusters in the second stage of sampling. A structure questionnaire is distributed among them. The data analysed by SPSS version 19. Analysing the job satisfaction level, we find 48% of faculty members highly satisfied. Moreover, 33% faculty members are moderate satisfied, 13% are low satisfied, 4% are un-satisfied, and 2% are highly un-satisfied. The job satisfaction level is also investigated for each university individually, and for different ages of faculty. To identify the significant factor affecting the job satisfaction level of the university's faculty the ordinal logistic regression model is used. The model shows that salary, workload, and facilities are significantly affecting the job satisfaction of the faculty. Considering the results of the study, it is recommended that salary of the faculty member should be high, workload should be decreases, and required facilities should be provided.

Examinations are students' chance for show casing their learning to the examiners and to their teachers for the efforts that were put into their (Teachers) teaching for maximum benefits of the students. However, students, expectations about the gradings are not always fulfilled and students feel that they were either not awarded according to their abilities or they were discriminated against. Reasons of discrimination that students cite and have also been endorsed by different research in different parts of the world include; gender discrimination, discrimination on the basis of students, caste, creed and colour. Some research also links students' agreeable personality and submissive attitude in presence of the teachers as reasons for favoritism towards some students and discriminating against others beside teachers' mood swings during students grading, Dee and Gershenson (2017), by Fan et al (2019), Megalokonomou (2021), Terrier (2015) and Bygren (2020). The current research is focused on finding students perceptions about teachers, objectivity and biases students, exams grading through a qualitative case study. Ten (10) participants with equal gender distribution agreed for taking part in the study and for sharing their perceptions about teachers, teachers grading bias or objectivity. This, however, must be noted that the current research study is purely based on only students' perceptions. Research results show that majority of the participants are of the view that teachers grading has the element of bias on the basis of students' gender, behaviour, personality and their attachment or friendship with teachers.

This qualitative study explored the parents' perceptions and involvement in homework for secondary school students. The study also explored parents' challenges and suggestions in completing homework as an engaging activity. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 parents selected through a purposive sampling technique. Thematic analysis was used to draw themes and sub-themes from qualitative data. The findings revealed that parents of secondary school students believed that homework is an activity that supports the learning process of their children. They considered homework the responsibility of the school and teachers. The challenges were that homework was an overloaded activity that teachers and schools did not support. These findings led to some important implications for the study. It is important to involve parents in devising homework policies and providing training to support their children in homework completion. The study also suggested developing a nation-wide homework policy that may guide teachers, parents, and students.

En este artículo propongo una narración etnográfica, basada en mi experiencia con tejedoras, sobre las prácticas e historias en torno a la tradición textil de los tsotsiles de San Bartolomé de los Llanos (Chiapas, sureste de México), con el fin de explorar la idea del textil como un arte centrado en el cuerpo, vinculado, en el mundo amerindio, a la construcción corporal. Dicho arte indígena es realizado diariamente por generaciones de mujeres, constituyendo el trabajo femenino que marca diferentes momentos del ciclo de vida de la mujer, como la pubertad (aprendizaje del tejido) y el matrimonio (elaboración de prendas para el novio). A través del textil, producido por la tecnología del telar, las mujeres conectan el mundo cotidiano indígena con su mundo sagrado (ch'ul), tejiendo sobre la superficie del textil a aquellos seres que habitan –y con los cuales se relacionan y dialogan– el cosmos de esta población.

Este artículo explora los afectos que emergen al bordar en redes de mujeres que se definen a sí mismas como bordadoras. Nos interesan en particular dos aspectos: las subjetividades que desde el bordado reconfiguran relaciones en el mundo de las mujeres y los intercambios que estos afectos mueven, expresados en trueques por fuera de circuitos comerciales. La inmersión etnográfica en espacios de bordado presenciales y virtuales fue uno de los escenarios del trabajo de campo; allí cobraron especial relevancia las reflexiones que otras bordadoras consignaron en ejercicios de escritura sobre sus trayectorias con el bordado. El otro escenario de investigación se refiere a la práctica de intercambio de bordados por otros bordados, que quedaron registrados en historias de Instagram. En ambos contextos proponemos que los afectos que se bordan devienen en sustrato de vidas singulares que tensan distintas formas de comunidad al intercambiarse.

En este artículo se analiza el textil desde el vestido como proyección y expansión del cuerpo. En él habitan afecciones, recuerdos e historias que son narrados a través de procesos textiles, desde su confección hasta sus diversas técnicas y materiales; en esta línea, el hilo es una fibra que configura narrativas y proyecta aspectos mnémicos. La narrativa es trazada desde la narrativa clínica y su relación con los procesos textiles, a través de la cual se construyen puentes de interacción entre ambas áreas. En el texto se exponen analogías afectivas asociadas con los procesos de manufactura de los vestidos y su relación con las técnicas empleadas (se abordan principalmente el bordado español y el deshilado). Los vestidos producidos para este trabajo son historias textiles que narran memorias de la creadora, dibujadas y desdibujadas por medio del hilo y el deshilado.
