Međunarodna pomoć za razvoj u kontekstu jačanja sigurnosti pravosudnih institucija i nosilaca pravosudnih funkcija u BiH s ciljem očuvanja vladavine prava
type: item
description: Cilj ovog rada je utvrditi značaj međunarodne pomoći za razvoj u kontekstu jačanja sigurnosti pravosudnih institucija i nosilaca pravosudnih funkcija u Bosni i Hercegovini kako bi se postigao adekvatan sigurnosni ambijent u pravosuđu u Bosni i Hercegovini kao trećem stubu vlasti, što će osigurati vladavinu prava. U ovom radu će se razmatrati oblast sigurnosti s posebnim akcentom na sigurnost pravosuđa, a koja je od izuzetnog značaja za rad sudova i tužilaštava. U radu će biti prezentirana uloga Visokog sudskog i tužilačkog vijeća Bosne i Hercegovine. Međunarodna pomoć za razvoj u kontekstu jačanja sigurnosti pravosuđa u BiH je od krucijalnog značaja za pravosuđe u Bosni i Hercegovini, što zahtijeva i buduću podršku međunarodne zajednice kroz projekte pomoći za jačanje kapaciteta.

Sigurnosno-razvojni neksus: Održivi razvoj kao prevencija oružanog konflikta i putokaz ka pozitivnom miru
type: item
description: Fokus rada bit će na istraživanju neksusa mira, sigurnosti i održivog razvoja, ali i utjecaja koji održivi razvoj može imati kada je riječ o oružanim konfliktima. Bitno je istaći da će se u ovom radu održivi razvoj posmatrati kao prevenciju oružanog konflikta, ali i kao putokaz ka pozitivnom miru. U savremenom dobu mir više ne posmatramo samo kao odsustvo rata ili kao odsustvo nasilja. Mir sada posmatramo, definiramo kroz pristup šire verzije koja mir povezuje s pravdom, slobodom, ljudskim pravima, demokratijom, sigurnosti i, naravno, s održivim razvojem. Mir koji se povezuje s navedenim konceptima nazivamo pozitivnim mirom, kako ga je u literaturi mirovnih studija, ali i političkih znanosti utemeljio norveški znanstvenik Johan Galtung. Cilj rada upravo se odnosi na ukazivanje značaja održivog razvoja, sigurnosti, prevencije oružanog konflikta u kontekstu doprinosa širenju i razvoju pozitivnog mira. Jer mi ne živimo u mirnom svijetu, dapače, živimo u svijetu kriza, nestabilnosti i konflikta, i takav nemirni svijet podriva održivi razvoj i u suprotnosti je s izgradnjom mira. U radu ćemo obraditi sljedeće tematske cjeline kako bismo što bolje prikazali neraskidivu vezu između pozitivnog mira i održivog razvoja: elaboriranje pojmova kao što su mir / pozitivni mir, sigurnost, oružani konflikt, održivi razvoj, elaboriranje međunarodnih razvojnih studija, obrađivanje utjecaja oružanog konflikta na održivi razvoj, ukazivanje na neksus između četiri znanstvene discipline, predstavljanje posljedica konflikta i pogled na razvoj kao prevenciju oružanog konflikta. Pored toga, navest ćemo ciljeve održivog razvoja kojim ćemo prikazati neksus održivog razvoja, mira i sigurnosti, i u konačnici prikazat ćemo zašto održivi razvoj može biti putokaz ka pozitivnom miru? Jer mir i održivi razvoj od vitalnog su značaja za prosperitetan i pravedan svijet, i zato su oni u neraskidivoj vezi.

Kartografska zbirka Ibrahima Bušatlije u fondu Gazi Husrev-begove biblioteke i značaj njene digitalizacije za istraživače historije Bosne i Hercegovine
type: item
description: Kartografska zbirka profesora Ibrahima Bušatlije, pristigla u Gazi Husrev-begovu biblioteku 2019. godine, obogatila je specijalne zbirke ove ustanove čineći značajan doprinos dostupnim resursima za istraživače, geografe i historičare u Bosni i Hercegovini. Profesor Bušatlija godinama je prikupljao mape, atlase i globuse, a njegova zbirka predstavlja dragocjeno nasljeđe koje, zahvaljujući digitalizaciji nakon kataloške obrade, sada može biti široko dostupno istraživačima. Istraživanjem su korištene analitičko-klasifikacione metode kako bi se procijenilo trenutno stanje zbirke i ocijenili postupci obrade, smještaja, digitalizacije i fizičkog čuvanja. Primijenjene su naučnoistraživačke metode, uključujući direktan pregled zbirke, klasifikaciju prema tipu materijala i komparativnu analizu sličnih kartografskih zbirki. Na osnovu tih postupaka definirani su kriteriji za najbolje prakse, koji obuhvataju standarde fizičkog očuvanja (kao što su kontrola temperature i vlažnosti te mjere zaštite), napredne tehnike digitalizacije, koje osiguravaju visok kvalitet prikaza, te mjere za olakšan pristup istraživačima putem digitalnih i fizičkih sredstava. Analize su pružile osnovu za predlaganje konkretnih mjera za poboljšanje očuvanja, organizacije i prezentacije zbirke, čime se povećava njena dostupnost javnosti. Zaključeno je da ova zbirka predstavlja izuzetno vrijedan kulturni i istraživački resurs, te da je prilagođavanje metoda obrade, digitalizacije i očuvanja ključno za osiguranje njenog trajnog očuvanja i dostupnosti, čime se podržava visok standard zaštite kulturne baštine.

Bibliotečka i informacijska nauka u digitalnom habitatu: istraživački trendovi na osnovu analize članaka u Scopusu (januar 2019 – maj 2024)
type: item
description: Cilj: U radu su analizirani ključni trendovi u bibliotečkoj i informacijskoj nauci (Library and Information Science; LIS) u posljednjih pet godina, na temelju članaka objavljenih u bazi podataka Scopus. Metodologija: U istraživanju je korištena kombinacija bibliometrijske analize, kvantitativnih metoda i kvalitativne sadržajne analize. Rezultati: Nalazi ukazuju na to da je najfrekventnija ključna riječ visokoškolske biblioteke (Academic Libraries), te da se prevalentne teme tiču svega digitalnog (digitalnih zbirki, biblioteka, tehnologija), zatim otvorenog pristupa i otvorene nauke, informacijske pismenosti, bibliotečkih usluga te naučnog komuniciranja. Diskusija: LIS istraživanja se sve više bave naučnim komuniciranjem i inovativnim uslugama koje dolaze s novim tehnologijama, a ne tradicionalnim bibliotečkim temama i disciplinama. Originalnost: Originalni doprinos ovog rada leži u tome što daje prikaz najrecentnijih trendova u LIS-u.

Hermeneutički zahvati u razumijevanje i značenje pojmova techné, tehnika i tehnologija u svjetlu Heideggerove misli
type: item
description: Istraživanje pod naslovom Hermeneutički zahvati u razumijevanje i značenje pojmova techné, tehnika i tehnologija u svjetlu Heideggerove misli upućuje na distinkciju pojmova grč. techné i današnjeg tehnika. To je nužno pitanje kojim se bavi čovjek u susretanju sa izazovima novog doba, kroz koje se dešava nezaobilazna transformacija kako naučnih oblasti tako i čovjekovog mjesta u modernom svijetu. Bavljenje ovim pitanjima suštinsko je određenje filozofije kod koje mora biti odgovornost da misli o suštinskim pitanjima egzistencije i tehnike. Mišljenje u kojem se preuzima odgovornost kako za čovjekovu izgradnju stvarnosti tako i za cjelokupnu sliku svijeta u kojem čovjek uvijek jest prisutan kao onaj uz čiju prisutnost uvijek stoji naučno-tehnički razvoj, zadatak je filozofije. Rad će biti baziran na antičkom značenju pojma techné te onome što je Heideggerova interpretacija pojma techné i razumijevanja tehnike.

Dezorijentirani i omasovljeni subjekt: Heidegger i Marcel o posljedicama tehničkih dostignuća
type: item
description: U ovom radu se istražuje kako nepotpuno shvaćanje pojmova tehnike i tehničkih proizvoda, sagledano iz perspektive dvaju filozofa egzistencije, Heideggera i Marcela, može uzrokovati pojavu neautentične egzistencije i omasovljenog subjekta. Zaključujemo kako Heidegger uočava da je današnje poimanje tehne uvelike različito od antičkoga, koje je u potpunosti označavalo otkrivanje istine i poiesisa, a koje danas gubi svoje značenje. Samim time dolazi do masovne tehničke proizvodnje, koja uzrokuje palost i zaborav bitka, a tako i gubljenje autentičnosti egzistencije. Marcel vidi pojavu masovnog društva u neispravnom ophođenju s tehničkim proizvodima i vladavini tehničke manipulacije, koja uzrokuje dezorijentiranost i pojedince udaljuje od kritičke svijesti. Poziva na upravljenost ka stvaranju ispravnih intersubjektivnih odnosa, u kojima je subjekt angažiran, autentičan i kao takav drugima dostupan.

Balansiranje pravde i senzacionalizma: medijsko izvještavanje o slučaju ubistva Danke Ilić
type: item
description: Raskrižje medijskog izvještavanja i kaznenog (krivičnog) pravosuđa postavlja značajna etička i proceduralna pitanja, naročito u slučajevima visokog profila poput ubistva dvogodišnje Danke Ilić u Srbiji. Ovaj članak istražuje napetost između etičkih obaveza medija i načela javnosti u kaznenom (krivičnom) postupku koristeći slučaj „Ilić“ kao centralnu tačku. Načelo javnosti ističe da bi krivični postupci trebali biti otvoreni za nadzor javnosti kako bi se promovisala transparentnost, odgovornost i povjerenje javnosti. Ovo načelo osigurava ne samo da je pravda izvršena već i da se vidi da je izvršena osiguravajući kontrolu protiv nedoličnog ponašanja sudija i njegujući kulturu otvorenosti. Međutim, medijska pokrivenost, vođena imperativima gledanosti, posjećenosti portala, odnosno „klikabilnosti“ i senzacionalizma, može zakomplicirati ovaj krajolik. Intenzivno ispitivanje slučajeva visokog profila često dovodi do etičkih dilema u kojima postoji opasnost da prava optuženih, žrtava i njihovih obitelji budu zasjenjena medijskom potragom za narativom punim dezinformacija i teorija zavjere

Digitalna dehumanizacija i novi oblici socijalnih interakcija
type: item
description: Prije desetak godina redatelj Wally Pfister na filmsko platno donosi priču o teško bolesnom znanstveniku koji odlučuje da svoj um prebaci u računar kako bi nastavio živjeti. Ova, samo jedna od filmskih priča iz 2014. godine bila je imaginarni i ne baš tako vjerodostojni scenariji po kojem tehnološko čudo može nadmašiti ljudski um, pa u konačnici i samog čovjeka. Tako je Transcendence postao umjetnička egzibicija budućih posljedica razvijanja umjetne inteligencije i, deset godina kasnije, gotovo mogući scenariji ostvarenja života poslije smrti. Generativne umjetne inteligencije omogućile su ne samo tzv. digitalnu nekromanciju, virtualni život poslije života, uz mogućnost razgovora s mrtvima uz pomoć digitalnih tragova koje osobe ostavljaju za svog života, već i kreiranje različitih vrsta personaliziranih identiteta s kojima u virtualnom svijetu možemo ostvariti interakciju. Tekst analizira oblike, vrste i funkcije kreiranih vještačkih inteligencija u kontekstu njihovog približavanja humaniziranim dimenzijama i komparira oblike interaktivnosti u stvarnom/fizičkom i virtualnom prostoru. Provedeno istraživanje (N=75) imalo je za cilj analizirati oblike, način i kvalitet interakcije s vještački kreiranim entitetima u kontekstu potreba i zahtjeva korisnika. Analiza polazi od stajališta u kontekstu kojeg kreirane platforme vještačke inteligencije, kao simulacije realnih osobnosti, jesu i mogu poslužiti kao dodatak ili posrednik procesima socijalne interakcije u kontekstima koji će uvijek biti doživljeni isključivo kao virtualna simulacija stvarne, iskustvene međuljudske interaktivnosti.

The Demands of the Labour Market in Bosnia and Herzegovina and new trends in Immigration
type: item
description: This paper explores the increasing need for imported labour in Bosnia and Herzegovina, driven by a prolonged shortage of local workforce, due to decades of labour emigration. It addresses statistical inconsistencies in unemployment rates, the process of hiring foreigners, and major migration trends in BiH. Immigration trends are analysed through two key factors: temporary residence permits and work permits. The paper highlights that the current system is unprepared for a significant influx of foreign workers and highlights several issues affecting the BiH labour market, including emigration, skills mismatch, unemployment, and unreliable unemployment data. The findings emphasize the importance of addressing these issues to stabilize and enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the labour market.

Transformacija profesija i organizacijskih kultura u kontekstu digitalizacije društva
type: item
description: Neumitni proces digitalizacije društva transformira i profesionalne sfere i organizacijske kulture mijenjajući način na koji ljudi obavljaju svoj posao danas, vrste poslova koji su potrebni, kao i vještine i kompetencije koje su tražene. Autorice ovog rada upravo će svoju istraživačku pažnju fokusirati na specifične vještine, njihovo rangiranje za potrebe digitalnog doba, odnosno potrebe prilagođavanja organizacija novim tehnologijama i društvenim i kulturnim promjenama. U okviru Hofstedeove kulturološke dimenzije organizacija, autorice će pružiti neke od uvida u karakteristike savremenih organizacijskih kultura te doprinijeti razumijevanju kako digitalizacija utiče na organizacijsku kulturu i kako se organizacije mogu prilagoditi. U radu će se, komparativnom metodom, predstaviti zanimanja s najvećom vjerovatnoćom supstitucije umjetnom inteligencijom (engl. Artificial Intelligence – AI), kao i posljedice koje bi ove supstitucije mogle donijeti. Promjene o kojima će ovdje biti riječ ukazuju na to kako digitalizacija društva utiče na karakter rada, na svaku profesiju/zanimanje, i kako zahtijeva ozbiljno razmatranje načina prilagođavanja organizacija i organizacijskih kultura na digitalnu stvarnost.

The Role of Media Literacy in the Development of Critical Thinking
type: item
description: The conducted research aims to examine young people's attitudes about the role of critical thinking in assessing available media content. Answers were collected using an anonymous questionnaire that included attitudes about exposure to media content, availability of technical infrastructure, and self-assessment of the level of media and information literacy. The research was conducted in October 2024, in the area of Istria, and 109 respondents, high school students and full-time students, participated. The answers were analyzed with the statistical program JASP, including exploratory factor analysis, KMO test and Bartlett's test of sphericity. The results of the quantitative analysis showed that critical thinking is recognized as a basic prerequisite for functioning in the information environment. Educational institutions are suggested to introduce educational programs aimed at a deeper understanding of the mentioned concept, while emphasizing the need to develop media and digital literacy as personal skills and basic competencies.

Communicating diversity in the society and empowering proactive action in youth
type: item
description: This paper presents an example of best practice in training young people for a world of diversity through joint social action. The Institute for Social Studies at the Faculty of Political Science of the University of Sarajevo uses its activities to encourage young people to think critically and/or oppose the narratives of division, hate speech, gender and other inequalities. The paper strongly focuses on the Youth Academy on Constructive Narratives which aims to empower young people from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro to actively join the fight against harmful content (especially online) through the concept of media and information literacy, while also improving mutual understanding and trust. The empirical part of the paper examines the attitudes and experiences of young people from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro in terms of respect for diversity in the society. The research sample comprised the participants of the Youth Academy on Constructive Narratives (N = 70). Research results show that young people interact with the Others and the Different as part of their life and education, but nevertheless experience or witness discriminatory communication due to their identity and/or beliefs. These results confirm the importance of formal and informal action in promoting proactive youth action towards a diverse society.

Media narratives about women in Bosnia and Herzegovina
type: item
description: Media content is directly related to the construction and reproduction of different cultural identities. The text analyses how and to what extent women are represented in media content in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Based on a selected sample of media formats, qualitative content analysis and quantitative data, the research aims to show whether the media in Bosnia and Herzegovina establish and strengthen existing social constructs of gender differences and accentuate stereotypical representations of women through different media formats, policies and narratives. Analysing the media, thematic content dedicated to women clearly shows media-created representations of women and the dominant policy of media representation and production of meaning in the social community. The point of turning away from this kind of media narratives is represented by the postmodern deconstruction of existing understandings of gender diversity, which, regardless of contemporary post-feminist analyses of other gender issues, are still present in many social and media environments.

Media violence and its impact on the audience
type: item
description: Violence in the media is a phenomenon present since the media first came into existence. Depiction of violence is not a novelty brought about by electronic and new media. Violence has been one of the key characteristics of print media since the dawn of literature; ancient Greek poetry and drama often described murder, suicide and injury; many of Shakespeare's plays exposed violence, torture, revenge and psychological terror; some of the most popular books of the 19th century were sensational novels that included violence. Due to complex interpretation and definition of this phenomenon and the different perspectives on it, discussions about violence in the media involve experts from the fields of communication and media, psychology, pedagogy, sociology and anthropology. Despite decades of discussions, definitive answers and solutions have not been found yet.

Social organizations, movements and activism in cyberspace
type: item
description: Social problems, inequalities and power dynamics affect individuals and their social spaces. Today's world offers more opportunities for resistance by individuals and groups through the use of technology. That is why it is significant to note that the Internet and digital media provide for new forms of social organizing and social activism. An important fact is that social networks primarily help individuals to see themselves as a part of a certain group, as belonging to a group of people who share common attitudes, values and problems and thus need each other in order to influence a certain situation. Digital activism considerably affects politics, state governance and civic and social engagement and provides opportunities for local and global connection of individuals and groups within political, social, and cultural movements, or even for initiation of such movements. The paper presents only some of the insights regarding the advantages and disadvantages of social action in cyberspace.

Students' perception of acquired human rights knowledge and its implementation in professional social work practice
type: item
description: International discourse on social work over the last three decades has been decisively shaped by the concept of human rights, as shown by the growing number of academic theoretical and empirical discussions on this topic. The aim of this paper is to present research results concerning the adoption of basic ideas related to human rights and their implementation in the education of social workers in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research was conducted on a sample of 291 social work students across three universities: Sarajevo, Banja Luka and Mostar. The research was conducted using four verified scales by McPherson & Abell (2012) measuring students' awareness of human rights topics, their perception of social work as a human rights profession and the application of professional methods in their implementation. Research results show that students have adopted the same professional values and are fully committed to the idea of human rights, regardless of any differences in their study programs or their social environment and historical experience. Scepticism arises due to evident problems in the implementation of human rights provisions in practice. The social reality characterized by poverty, unemployment, deep social inequality and general social insecurity of many citizens and the ethnic divisions are the main reasons for concerns and doubts about the value of the idea of human rights. Although social work students have the most practical experience, especially those in the early years of their studies, they are highly aware of the social reality and the weaknesses in implementation, especially when it comes to the most vulnerable population groups.

Primary education challenges in social integration of adopted children
type: item
description: Slow implementation of complex legal procedures in the adoption process in Bosnia and Herzegovina has resulted in children without parental care remaining in institutions for increasing lengths of time. The rare positive outcomes of the adoption process that result in full integration into the adoptive family once the adoption decision becomes final very often occur when the child is of preschool or school age. The challenges facing the child coming to the adoptive family environment are inevitably related to the start or continuation of schooling. The dynamics of educational reforms in primary education have been evident in the recent years, but these have not been harmonized with social protection in terms of continuous connectedness and appropriate operating strategies in these two areas. This is evidenced by the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina still lacks the records for the exact number of children without parental care, as well as the fact that the relevant line ministry in the Federation of BiH does not have a unified list with the number of children without parental care or without appropriate parental care that are eligible for adoption, or a list of children that have already been adopted. Also, according to the law, Centres for Social Work do not have any further activities in relation to the adopted child, and the same is true for the primary school attended by the child placed in the adoptive family. Moreover, primary schools do not have a mechanism to monitor the development of these children. This raises the questions of whether the schools are ready and how they can institutionally and systematically support the adopted child and its parents in overcoming certain obstacles and problems, such as stagnation of the child and the adoptive parent on their path to adoption and life in the adoptive family? Is the school system in Bosnia and Herzegovina with its current capacities and services able to provide an appropriately sensitized treatment approach t…

Duties of the guardians of persons fully or partially deprived of legal capacity and the respect for diversity in family legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
type: item
description: The option of complete or partial deprivation of legal capacity, exercised almost as a rule for certain groups of persons with disabilities and standardized in the current legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, violates not just the fundamental principle of human rights protection, that of equality before the law, but also violates the principle of diversity as one of the key principles in the professional social work practice. In this regard, the legally prescribed obligation of the guardianship body to place under guardianship a person whose legal capacity has been completely or partially removed by a court decision and to appoint a guardian for this person puts professional social workers in a highly unenviable position, especially in the domain of ethics, namely the respect for innate human dignity and the principle of diversity. Following the above, the question arises: is there a way to respect both the principle of diversity and the value of human dignity in this particular case? Since the answer to this question is negative, this paper provides a comparative legal analysis of the relevant provisions of all three Family Laws in Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to see how, according to the legal powers and duties of the guardians of persons fully or partially deprived of legal capacity, the rights, interests and preferences of the wards are protected.

The child's right to health: the necessity of joint action
type: item
description: Holders of parental responsibility have the power to make decisions regarding the child's health. While this may seem simple at first glance, there is a whole set of issues associated with this side of parental responsibility. Parental responsibility includes rights as well as duties. Parents also have discretionary rights. How then will responsible parents exercise their rights and duties? The answer to this question is primarily up to the responsible parent, but it also depends on a number of other factors. Education is the systematic teaching of the child, in both private and public domain, about key contents of the prevailing worldview. Although upbringing and education are inseparable from the most important aspects of social order, upbringing is to a greater extent subject to the discretionary rights of the parents, while education is organized by the political community. This issue is particularly relevant in the context of the child's right to health.

Global Sustainable Development Goals and social work during the pandemic
type: item
description: The article presents the results of research conducted by the study program for social work at the Faculty of Political Sciences in Banja Luka in cooperation with study programs in Sarajevo, Tuzla and Mostar. The research examined the views of social work students concerning social development and the global Sustainable Development Goals from the Agenda 2030. The research sample consisted of 75 students attending the first cycle of social work studies. The research was conducted during the pandemic, which significantly determined its results. Research results show that social work students are influenced by traditional values. They believe that the society will develop through cooperation and partnership, but also through economic growth and scientific and technological achievements. They are attached to family and family values and they see the institutional strengthening of society as a guarantee of development. They see social work as an area of social change and empathy towards people who are in a state of social need. Using factor analysis, three components were extracted that roughly represent three different concepts of values held by social work students and their attitudes towards social development: economic optimists (convinced in the power of economic and technological growth), socio-environmental pessimists (convinced that development is impossible without the destruction of natural environment and gross human rights violations) and institutional/resource sceptics (suspicious that development can take place in institutions, infrastructure and industrial capacities).

The role of the social context in the experience of stress and fear during periods of increased health risk
type: item
description: In times of crises caused by natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, pandemics), individuals experience different levels of stress and fear – making some of them vulnerable and leading to a greater need for (professional) help and support. The aim of this research was to examine the determinants of the coronavirus-related stress and fear, with focus on examining the role of the individual's social context. A total of N=240 participants (22.1% male and 77.1% female) of an average age of 27 years (SD=8.4) completed an online questionnaire at the end of the fifth wave of coronavirus infection. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that the fear of losing a loved one accounts for 44% of the variance in experienced stress, while gender and the internal working model of self explains 8% of the variance in the fear of losing a loved one. We observed that the internal working model of self had a mediating effect on the relationship between the individual's demographics and their experience of stress and fear, while the working model of others and the perceived social support of friends and family did not prove to be relevant. The authors discuss possible explanations of the obtained results and the practical implications of this research.

Virtual Identities in the New Media Environment
type: item
description: History bears witness to the primordial desire and need of people to present themselves in different environment or in a “better and more beautiful” light, which is still mediated today by new forms of technological formats. Such modified forms of representation have multiple consequences, especially for adolescents and young people who build a degree of distinction between the real and the imaginary or go through different forms of socialization building their personal, social or collective identity. The text presents an analysis of the reduced research results of two master’s theses in which a survey of the target group (N=112, N=200) was conducted on the reasons, forms, ways, platforms, constructions and presentations of real and virtual identities in new media environment and the consequences of such representation. The research strats from the hypothesis that virtual identities and modified representations are not credible, but young people consciously recognize and use them to represent themselves, regardless of consequences that usually result in stigmatization, social exclusion or conformity.

Fighting Social Change
type: item
description: The following essay analyses Chapter 10, The Background of Plato’s Attack, in the first volume, The Spell of Plato. The focus is on Popper’s interpretation of Plato’s sociological perspective discussing the social change and the role of the Great Generation in it, with the dawn of Athenian democracy. Also, the essay examines Popper’s analysis of the reactionary social events during and after the Peloponnesian war (431-404 BC). The highlight is on Popper’s view of these twitches of tribal, collectivist forces that want to keep their world’s old organic “stable” image at all costs. It is also essential to take a deeper look at the historical context and novelties such as trade and naval communications that Popper believes contributed to the birth of an open society. This new society brings individual responsibility and reason instead of group morale and emotions. Popper presented the tension between these opposites by looking at the first “modern” revolution (as he calls it) in ancient Greece and analysing Plato’s views on the changed social condition. Plato believed he found an argument for a return to the old society. Popper assails Plato’s project and accents the manipulation of Socrates. The first defeats of democracy by autocratic forces (tyranny of oligarchs) demonstrate the fine line between the two opposing concepts of society, the ease with which these retrograde processes take place and lead towards a backslide from an open (democratic) to a closed society.

Political Theory as Philosophy, as Positive Science, and as Critique
type: item
description: Author develops a critical review of the three dominant perspectives in Political Theory: Behaviorist, Empirical-Analitical, Classic and Contemporary Normative Theories, and Dialectical-Critical perspectives. Under the influence of scientific positivism and its critique of metaphysics, especially in the Anglophone world, the Behaviorist political theory has been developed. Its origin lies in the idea of ‘pure political science’ which, as author argues, becomes gradually, a metaphysical perspective of its own kind. Based on criticism of Behaviorist political theory, especially under the influence of Leo Strauss a new, contemporary political theory has been developed by rehabilitation of the classical perspective. For Strauss, as well as for example, for Aristotle, poltical knowledge is tightly connected to ethical action, and the political discourse is always at the same time the ‘ethical-political’. This theoretical perspective is, author suggests, an attempt to reflect upon the very foundations of political community, so in this way it is at the same time a particular ontology, which is the main point of criticism coming from a positivist block. The dialectical – critical political theories have their source, above all, in Hegel’s philosophy, and, especially after Marx and Engels, the task of political theory is understood in a rather ‘activist’ sense as investigation of political systems, institutions and revealing of relations that establish the rule of the privileged. With Critical School of 1930’s this political-theoretical approach attempts to maintain historical perspectives of understanding the society and state and their complex processes. Second important characteristics of this approach is the conception of totality, also coming from Hegel, for who the truth is always a matter of the whole, and not in some particular part. Another important feature is dialectical attitude, in fact, identification of contradictions and their conflict as mover of social and…
