CURRENT SOCIAL WORK IMPOSES NEW CHALLENGES: TWO APPROACHES AND A PARADIGM SHIFT
Get PDFThe present paper states that social work constitute at same time a political economy and a critical science. The presentation offers some alternative approaches to social work. Current social work faces resource inequality, vital inequality and existential inequality. These inequalities stem from structural and qualitative societal changes due to an aging population, long-term unemployment, globalization, technology developments, production advances, political conflicts as well as to individualization issues in the society. Consequently, social work’s old research approaches and practical strategies are now ineffective. Social work faces a crisis and must endure a “paradigm shift” to return to its standard science practice. By means of a new paradigm, it is possible to arrive at a novel type of ontopraxeology, at a different ontological and practical understanding of social work, which per se is poor in emphasizing personal service along with its ethical and moral aspects. Problems may be simplified and targeted at individuals and families, at the same time when social and individual lives become more complex. Hereafter, social work must perceive itself as an economic factor as well as a societal resource with political characteristics. By solving conflicts and increasing trust, social work increases social capital and furthers equality.KEY WORDS: social work crisis, social work inequality, social work paradigm shif
The Lives of Hostages and their Influence on the Conversion and Acculturation of Livonia and Prussia during the Baltic Crusades in the 13th Century
Get PDFChronicles of the 13th-century Crusades in Livonia and Prussia are full of descriptions of the Catholic conquerors demanding hostages from local elites, but the fate of these hostages and the influence they may have had on the processes of religious conversion and societal change in the East Baltic has attracted little attention. This paper explores the lives of Livonian and Prussian hostages, and argues that they may have functioned as vessels of acculturation, who furthered the Christianisation and ‘Europeanisation’ of their homelands, and cemented new power relations and world-views.Key words: hostages, Medieval history, Baltic history, Crusades, Northern Crusades, Christianisation, Europeanisation, intercultural relations
Socialinių paslaugų benamiams įgyvendinimas Lietuvoje: benamių vyrų patirtys
Get PDFThis article analyses the experiences of men who are suffering homelessness. The aim of this article is to identify the main problems of social services and to show their potential development. In today’s Europe, no one can be forced to sleep on the street just because there are no high-quality services that meet human needs. The state must ensure the rights of persons, who are suffering homelessness and to preserve their dignity by providing efficient and high quality social services, because only this kind of services allows to talk about the development of the modern state, shaping and reshaping the model of social services. This research allows to understand the phenomenon of homelessness from the point of view of homeless men and to identify the main problems that hinder to overcome homelessness. This article presents the empirical study, which results showed that social services in Lithuania are based on the material supply, so homeless men have poor access to quality social services. The infrastructure of hostels is not adapted for person with disability; social housing is difficult to obtain because of the long queues; homeless men also have difficulties to access independent living or nursing homes for the elderly.KEY WORDS: homeless men, social services, the implementation.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/tbb.v76i1.151

Get PDFThe goal of this article is to analyze the challenges that arise from stigma and that relatives of people with Schizophrenia face in their relationships in primary social network. Schizophrenia does not only change everyday life and relationships of the ill but also of their relatives. This topic is not researched in Lithuania. Meanwhile in the international context, the biggest attention is paid to the subjective and objective burden that relatives of the people with Schizophrenia face, leaving aside the changes and dynamics in their relationships. Therefore, in this article the influence of the stigmatization on the relationships in the closest environment of patient is discussed. In order to achieve this goal, qualitative research has been completed and 15 half-structured interviews with the people who have relatives, who suffer from Schizophrenia, were carried out. The relation to the person with Schizophrenia varied according to the individual cases – some of them were spouses, some where children, parents, siblings or further relatives. The results of the research reveal that Schizophrenia causes complex emotional experiences of patient’s family members, and gives an effect on relationships within the family, as well as on relationships of the ill and his family members with further relatives, friends, neighbors and colleagues.KEY WORDS: schizophrenia, relatives of persons with schizophrenia, stigma, relationships

Капитальный труд о фонографировании народной музыки в Украине
Get PDFВ истории украинского и европейского этномузыкознания произошло знаменательное событие – появился на свет основательный монографический труд кандидата искусствоведения, доцента кафедры украинской фольклористики имени академика Филарета Колессы Львовского национального университета имени Ивана Франко Ирины Довгалюк “Фонографирование народной музыки в Украине: история, методология, тенденции”. Прежде всего хочу отметить, что монография свидетельствует о феноменальной способности автора к всеобъемлющему и скрупулезному изложению материала, интеллектуальному контролю за многочисленными фактами, глубокому анализу полувековой истории звукового документирования украинской народной музыки. И. Довгалюк, впервые широко осветила основные тенденции в истории фонографирования народной музыки в Украине и подала их на фоне аналогичных процессов, которые происходили в музыкальной фольклористике народов Центрально-Восточной Европы конца XIX – первой половины XX века. Этот процесс автор монографии проследила не только в географической плоскости, но и в исторической – от начала интереса к звукозаписи в целом к непосредственному фонографированию народной музыки и накоплению валиков, то есть к становлению фонограмархивов
