International Symposium on “Social Impact and the Social Sciences: Theory and Practice in the Era of Propaganda, Fake News and Media Manipulation”, 5-6 December 2019
Get PDFBetween 5 and 6 December 2019 the International Symposium “Social impact and the social sciences: Theory and practice in the era of propaganda, fake news and media manipulation” was held at the University of Bucharest. Parallel sessions were held throughout the two days, canvassing a range of important contemporary issues in the advancement of social impact. These included: the role of theory in analysing impact in the context of political propaganda; the challenges of online and offline strategies to tackle fake news and media manipulation; and the importance of evidence-based social impact programs in and for organisations in the government and non-profit sectors. Some discussions focused on regional issues, including the Black Sea area and the EU. Others focused on country-specific interventions with social impact. Additional presenters debated issues on fake news, media manipulation and social impact at the trans-national and global levels. In concluding the conference, Professor Marian Zulean and Dr Gaby Ramia, two of the conference organisers, announced that a conference discussing social issues in the Black Sea region is likely to be organised in May 2020, and the 2020 iteration of the conference will be organised for the Fall in 2020

Get PDFDiscourse Analysis of Health Risk Perceptions. Understanding Public Debates on Childhood Vaccination
Get PDFChildhood vaccination has become one of the most intensely discussed topics not alone in Romania but other European countries as well. Mass media articles, personal experiences claiming that vaccines have side effects and can even lead to autism have generated various responses among parents and determined various perceptions and assessments of the health risks. Certain groups have emerged in the middle of these confrontational debates: there are those who resist vaccination, advocating that they inflict sufferance on children. Yet others who refuse vaccines because they fear the unknown, along with those who have not made a decision and still search for medical opinion, and those who insist upon gathering more information before deciding whether to get their children immunized etc. Each of these groups perceives and defines the risk in a different way. A discourse analysis of the comments and posts identified on various online platforms from Romania revealed the fact that the individuals who resist vaccination reframe the risk as unknown, while calling for a more informed decision from parents. These individuals do not bring any logical, practical, or scientific argument in order to support their position. Some of them even consider that a mandatory vaccination policy is a characteristic of a totalitarian state thus infringing upon the right of the population to free choice. Another result of our analysis is the fact that the majority of the online debaters tend to perceive the risk of non-vaccination as bigger than the one of vaccination

No full textPolitici sociale postmoderne în România: Între nevoie și schimbările așteptate ale sistemului de furnizare a bunăstării: Postmodern social policy in Romania. Between needs and expected changes of the welfare regime
No full textThis paper discusses current challenges of the welfare regime in Romania, from the standpoint of postmodern cultural changes that started to affect society. Acording to the main argument, Romania is intertwined with other societies that have already underwent through fundamental changes due to increasing postmodern cultural orientation. Such process comes together with a need for individualization of intervention, due to individualization of needs. Delocalization and denormalization overlap individualization, in a world dominated by mobilities. The paper delves with the basic characteristics of these changes and shows how they already affect or may affect Romania in the near future, in specific domains such as family, education, or housing. International migration is in particular addressed, since Romania is experiencing a large and long-lasting out-migration flow. Changes in technologies are used as material basis for future changes, while cultural preferences and their changes are the red line for all subchapters
„Mituri, falsuri, amnezii. O introducere critică în istoria școlii gustiene” – dezbatere organizată de Institutul de Cercetare al Universității din București, București, 15 noiembrie 2019

A critical introduction to the history of the Gustian school”, organized by the Research Institute of the University of Bucharest at the initative of Zoltán Rostás and Ionuț Butoi. The participants were contributors and collaborators of the Gusti Cooperative team, such as Dumitru Sandu, Theodora-Eliza Văcărescu, Matei Costinescu, Antonio Momoc, Călin Cotoi, Irina Nastasa-Matei, Marian Zulean and others. The debate intended to interrogate both the way in which the image of the Gustian school was built by its members, the way it was reintegrated into the scientific and cultural circuit during the communist period, and how it is discussed today. This paper proposes a summary of the debate, highlighting the main ideas discussed by the participants
