Libertatea religioasa in Romania postcomunista: noua lege a libertatii religioase
No full textConstruction of each government policy designed in part, during the years after the Revolution, included more or less religious freedom issues. Citizens were satisfied with the freedom gained after the 1989 Revolution without questioning too much different concerns aimed by minorities, such as religious freedom. Many of them once entered into the public debate were often treated with disregard by policy makers able to correct the deficiencies raised. Legislative journey of religious freedom legislation deserves attention because it highlights the degree of democratization and people's perceptions of society on sensitive issues. To what extent this legal framework meets the expectations of Romanian citizens? Does this law facilitate the religious freedom in Romania? Is the religious freedom guaranteed for the religious minors? Does this legal framework meet the demands of religious dynamic in Romania and Europe? These types of questions, and others similar, I'll try to give an answer throughout this article. Based on documents, facts and testimonies I’ll try to evaluate the present situation of religious freedom in Romania. There is currently a contested legislation, but more than that, the reflexes that have mattered significantly in enacting such a law. The influence of “cults” (recognized by government religion groups) or just religious groups for the drafting, the lobbying various interest groups, the interventions of NGO, the voices of different personalities involved and the attitudes of the political class through the process of drafting the law, gives an overall complex view over this process that has as result the law of religion valid since 2007. In this context it is remarkable to note some of the external interventions to the bill proposed for approval along with the reactions that followed promulgation. Because the law still does not have normative rules, and the debate over these has not been pursued, it is premature to outline the consequences, although they have already being raised. The research stage could not be completed since there is a law, but functionally works by exceptions
The Bible and Religious Freedom
Get PDFReligious beliefs influence the acts and behaviors of religious people, most of the time overwriting any social or deontological norm. A brief overview into the dogma of diverse religions that refers directly to religious freedom sheds more light on these behaviors that could not be otherwise explained. Looking into Christianity, things should not be different. According to the understanding of most Christian denominations, the Bible is the only norm for Christian living. Thus biblical doctrines should reveal how to act in regard to religious freedom. Although the Bible is not considered a norm by society at large, only by Christians, it could provide moral principles for those professing the Christian faith that are linked with a normative approach to religious freedom in actual modernity. What does the Bible say about religious freedom? Of what relevance is this to non-Christians? Are Christians aware of these prescriptions? These are extremely important questions for a contemporary multi-religious society, in tension with numerous interreligious or religiously
originated conflicts. The aim of this article is to find a solid biblical base for an approach to religious freedom in order for Christians to position themselves on this issue
Etika odnosa između vjerskih i građanskih normi
Get PDFEtika pruža zajednički prostor za procjenjivanje vjerskih i sekularnih normi. Tijesan odnos između zakona i načela o vjerskoj slobodi, njihovo uzajamno miješanje i moralni temelj ponekad se preklapaju; određuju analizu s perspektive moralnosti kao veoma važnu zbog toga što uspostavlja zajednički jezik procjene. U kojoj mjeri ona može pokazati vezu između vjerskih i građanskih normi? Koji su zajednički elementi preklapanja između ta dva niza normi? Postoji li napetost između ta dva niza normi? Koja je uloga vjerske svijesti u odnosu na te društvene norme? U sadržaju ovoga članka pokušat ću dati odgovor na ovaj vid pitanja kao i na druga koja nisu izričito uvrštena ovdje
Biblija i vjerska sloboda
Get PDFVjerska uvjerenja utječu na djela i ponašanja religioznih ljudi, nadjačavajući u većini slučajeva društvene i deontološke norme. Kratki osvrt na dogmatiku različitih religija koja se izravno odnosi na vjersku slobodu, pojašnjava ponašanja koja se ne mogu drukčije objasniti. Osvrnemo li se na kršćanstvo, stvari ne bi trebale biti drugačije. Prema razumijevanju većine kršćanskih denominacija, Biblija je jedini standard kršćanskoga življenja. Stoga biblijsko
učenje treba otkrivati kako treba postupati u pogledu vjerskih sloboda. Iako društvo ne smatra Bibliju standardom, već samo kršćani, onima koji ispovijedaju kršćansku vjeru ona može ponuditi moralne principe koji su povezani sa standardnim pristupom prema vjerskoj slobodi u sadašnjem vremenu. Što Biblija govori o vjerskoj slobodi? Od kakve je važnosti za nekršćane? Jesu li kršćani svjesni tih propisa? Ovo su iznimno važna pitanja za današnje multikonfesionalno društvo, opterećeno brojnim međuvjerskim ili
vjerski potaknutim sukobima. Cilj je pronaći zdrav biblijski temelj za pristup vjerskoj slobodi koji bi kršćani mogli zauzeti po ovom pitanju
The Ethics of the Relationship between Religious and Civil Norms
Get PDFEthics provide a common ground in the assessment of religious and secular norms. The close relationship between laws and the principle of religious freedom, the interference between them and the moral basis of both sometimes overlap; analysis from the perspective of morality is very important because it establishes a common language of assessment. To what extent can it draw a connection between religious and civil norms? What are the common elements overlapping between the two sets of norms? Is there a tension between the two sets of norms? What is the role of religious consciousness in relationship to the norms of society? This article will attempt to answer these types of questions and others not explicitly included here
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
