Get PDFA Fishermen’s Village: On the Lipovan Belongingness to the Danube Delta in Jurilovca (Northern Dobroudja)
Get PDFThe present article is aimed at accounting for the social, economic, and cultural ways in which the Russian-speaking Lipovan inhabitants of Jurilovca village define and assume their belongingness to the biotope of Danube Delta in the North of Tulcea County, Romania. Two theoretical notions are followed in this regard, in terms of regional complex (according to Romanian geographer Simion Mehedinţi), and cultural area (as authored by the American anthropologist Clark Wissler). A series of social, economic, and cultural characteristics of Lipovan villagers outline the importance of fishing for the local livelihood as well as worldview, i.e. ethnicity, kinship, ethno-history, technical vocabulary, seasonal work, barter exchange, folk cookery, and the socialism vs. post-socialism perception. Beyond their traditional and contemporary ethnography, the crucial issue for the native villagers in Jurilovca is that of the very continuity of “their lake’s [unwritten] law” (as a vernacular representation) in contrast to the politics of renting out the local fishing areas. Therefore, the perspectives of the Russian-Lipovan “regional complex” of fishing within the “cultural area” from the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve appear to depend on the degree to which local aspects of customary law might be reconciled with the official legislation with respect to traditional ownership, genealogical inheritance, and the right of preemption
Măsuri de dezvoltare rurală în Polonia și Ungaria: Rural Development Measures in Poland and Hungary
No full textThe main objective of this paper is to highlight some key aspects of the rural transformation in Poland and Hungary after the collapse of the communist regimes. We selected these two cases taking into account a series of similarities and differences between their rural evolution and the situation from Romania and we employed a comparative perspective. The analytical framework pays attention to the specific historical background and to the shaping force of the European Common Agricultural Policy. Since early '90s Poland’s rural development strategy was focused on three main dimensions: rural economy diversification, support for small family farms and social security for farmers. On the other hand, the priorities of the Hungarian decision makers were concentrated on the agrarian sector initiatives and the local development programs. Over the past decades, the governmental programs of these countries significantly influenced the process of reconstruction of the social and economic features of the rural areas. The final part of the paper emphasizes that in comparison with Romania's experience on handling rural development programs, Poland and Hungary adopted more adequate and reliable policies and from this perspective the evolution of these two countries could represent a model of good practice in this European region

Get PDFIn our paper we will briefly present the historical background of the Hungarian Colleges for Advanced Studies. These institutions in the frame of the Hungarian educational system have been for decades identified with the concepts of “elite-training” due to both historical and professional reasons. We will not only mention the foreign examples which led to the expansion of these Colleges in Hungary but we will also present which social and political factors contributed to the appearance and evolution of the colleges. We also present the Colleges for Advanced Studies which recruit students of Roma origin, trying to push forward the Roma community`s social integration through forming young intellectuals. We try to analyze the social role of both the classical and the recently founded Roma colleges, and we demonstrate through qualitative research methods whether such institutions can contribute to the social inclusion of groups multiple disadvantages. We also analyze the possibility of transferring the concept and functioning methods of the colleges to other EU member states, especially to Romania, taking into the consideration all the factors which would theoretically favor the possibility of transferring the best practices but also evaluating the aspects which would make this process more difficult, mainly as result of the various educational traditions and social attitudes towards such institutions in the two countries

No full textThis article functions as a gender context for women’s participation, work and contribution to some of the sociological research and social interventions during the 1920s and the 1930s in Romania. Women and men that took part in the sociological monographic campaigns, in the royal student teams of the 1934-1938, and in the commanders’ schools within the Social Service in 1938-1939 – all coordinated by Dimitrie Gusti – did not benefit from the same civil provisions, did not have the same political rights, did not share the same social roles, and could not profit from the same professional and personal models and opportunities. In this paper I explore the main aspects concerning the social, legal, and political conditions affecting women’s lives and activities during the last decades of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth. I offer possible answers to such questions as: Which were the dominant gender roles and expectations before and after WWI? What were the parameters of the negotiation space used by women who fit only partially their pre-defined roles? What educational and professional opportunities existed for women? Which were the main attempts at social change and even contestation of the patriarchal order initiated and carried out by women’s organizations? What arguments and strategies did women’s movements mobilized for promoting their civil and political emancipation objectives
