Prispevek prikazuje sodobne prostorske in socialne procese na avstrijskem Koroškem in analizira položaj slovenske manjšine v pogojih postmodernega družbenega stadija. Manjšina je družbeni kolektiv, ...ki se je skozi desetletja številčno zmanjševal zaradi asimilacije. To so sprožali tako namerni asimilacijski ukrepi na eni ter vrsta dejavnikov v družbenem okolju na drugi strani. Proučujemo, kako in v kakšni meri lahko značilnosti prostorskih struktur in življenjski slog ljudi v postmoderni družbi vplivajo na pripadnike manjšine.
This paper aims to demonstrate the close connection between society and politeness styles by analyzing Korean language textbooks for foreign learners published by Seoul National University Language ...Education Institute from 2000 to 2019. Changes in these textbooks indicate a dynamic interplay between society and language. The study reveals notable shifts in politeness styles, particularly the near-complete replacement of the formal hasipsioche with the polite informal style haeyoche. This paper seeks to connect the observed changes in textbooks and shifts in Korean culture and society. The paper offers a brief introduction to Korean history, society, and culture, highlighting their relevance to the Korean language in general and specifically to Korean in a second language education.
Citizens’ Solidarity in Europe systematically dissects the manifestations of solidarity buried beneath the official policies and measures of public authority in Europe.

Europe Thirty Years After 1989 explores what happened in the former socialist countries during the last thirty years and the reasons behind these events. The authors examine how values, memory, and ...identity have been transforming these countries since the year 1989.
Using the available literature, press articles, and archival material, the author analyses the relationship of a Croatian cultural association, the Society of Brethren of the Croatian Dragon (SBCD), ...towards World War I heritage. This analysis includes the period from the beginning of World War I to the end of World War II. Since he considers the SBCD a representative Croatian cultural association in this period, the author believes that its relationship towards World War I heritage may be an indicator of the relationship of the Croatian public in general towards this war. During his research, the author noticed that this association was significantly active in all efforts whose goal was to preserve the memory of this war for future generations. After the end of World War I and the creation of the Yugoslav state, this activity almost completely ceased, and the situation did not change after the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia. The author considers that there were multiple reasons for this lack of interest in World War I heritage. Firstly, the participation of Croats in the armed forces of Austria-Hungary, which was an enemy of Serbia, was politically problematic topic in the new state and therefore avoided, especially since the new state was dominated by Serbs and built on Serbian victory culture. The political circumstances were also important in this context. If this society fostered ‘soft’ Croatness until the mid-1930s, striving to find a compromise between preserving Croatian national identity and respecting the Yugoslav state framework, how can one explain that the relationship of the society towards World War I remained unchanged since the mid-1930s, when a more combative Croatian spirit had spread through the society, and especially during the Independent State of Croatia? In his answer to this question, the author proposes that the symbolism of World War I, in which Croats fought on the side of Austria-Hungary—a state that was seen as a foreign entity—did not have the capacity to support the idea of an independent Croatian state.
Z vstopom žensk na področje javne sfere in družbenih odnosov so se začela spreminjati tudi ostala področja življenja, kar je sprožilo potrebo po kulturni preobrazbi, predvsem na ravni jezika ...(Irigaray 1998, 119), ki bi ustrezno predstavljal in nagovarjal oba spola. Eno pomembnejših vprašanj, ki so si ga v povezavi s tem v času drugega feminističnega vala postavljale številne feministične jezikoslovke in jezikoslovci, je, kako lahko izkoreninjenje jezikovnega seksizma vpliva na položaj žensk in moških v družbi. Številni nasprotniki in nasprotnice jezikovnih sprememb in uvajanja neseksističnih alternativ se s predpostavkami neposredne povezave med družbo in jezikom niso strinjali, za kar so navajali številne argumente. Namen prispevka je osvetliti klasične argumente, ki so se v tuji (angleški) literaturi proti uvajanju jezikovnih sprememb pojavljali v 70. letih prejšnjega stoletja in poiskati vzporednice z aktualnimi argumenti slovenskih jezikoslovk in jezikoslovcev ter drugih strokovnjakov in strokovnjakinj. Argumente nizava upoštevajoč posebnosti angleščine in slovenščine, tj. dveh jezikov, ki različno izražata in razumeta (slovnični) spol. V tem smislu je zanimivo ugotoviti, koliko so si agrumenti proti uvedbi jezikovnih sprememb podobni (tj. so splošni in veljajo za vse jezike) in v katerih kategorijah se razlikujejo (tj. so jezikovno specifični). Glede na to, da gre tudi za dve različni časovni obdobji, nam bo informacija o podobnosti argumentov sporočala tudi podatek o zmožnosti preživetja določenih mnenj skozi čas. Cilj prispevka, pa tudi dolgoročni interes je bolje razumeti razmišljanje nasprotnikov in nasprotnic jezikovnih sprememb na podlagi poznavanja njihovih argumentov, kar vidiva kot enega od pristopov k (morebitnemu) skupnemu sodelovanju v zvezi s tovrstnimi vprašanji v prihodnje.
The book contributes new insights to the research in the field of anthropology of (post)socialism, culture of consumption, gender and memory. It is based on the testimony of interlocutors who offer ...an insight into the “structure of the feeling” of the socialist era through the practice of consumption, from which on the one hand the complex economic and political dynamics and diverse disciplinary regimes are being reflected and the understanding of power, resistance and emancipation on the other. Author establishes critical distance towards the approach, which discusses socialism as a totalitarianism and shows that socialist policies were not simply dictated from above, but negotiated between the state and its citizens. The female consumer in socialism did not only respond to social barriers and obstacles of history, but she also actively co-created social time. By studying how consumers interpreted and created mutual connections between material objects, moral reputation and (self)respect, the book also shows certain specific elements of Slovenian and Yugoslav development of the European countries after the Second World War.
Članek obravnava vpliv rabe informacijsko-komunikacijskih tehnologij na migracijski proces. V tem smislu poudarja časovno-prostorsko neodvisno delovanje, ki ga te tehnologije omogočajo. Poleg tega, ...da tovrstno delovanje povzroča prehod od območne k omrežni organizaciji družbe, migrantom omogoča, da fizično oddaljene izvorne domovine emocionalno in družbeno nikoli ne zapustijo, kar se ne sklada z dosedanjim sociološkim portretom migranta. Na teh izhodiščih prispevek med drugim odpira vprašanje o ponovnem premisleku koncepta migranta, in sicer v pogojih omrežne družbe.
Pospeševanje je konstitutivni del moderne družbe, ki ga družboslovci opažajo že od devetnajstega stoletja. V prispevku se pri holistični opredelitvi pospeševanja opiram na teoretski model Hartmuta ...Rose, ki razlikuje med analitično ločenimi, a vzajemno povezanimi dimenzijami pospeševanja. Med njimi je tehnološko pospeševanje, pri katerem sta na področju komuniciranja k njemu najočitneje prispevala telegraf in digitalizacija. Med najaktualnejše tehnologije s potencialom za velik družbeni vpliv lahko štejemo tudi algoritme. Njihove značilnosti v digitalnem kapitalizmu so (1) netransparentnost, (2) avtomatizacija, (3) podatkovljenje in (4) instrumentalna racionalizacija. Posledice teh značilnosti so večplastne, med njimi pa je tudi nadaljnja krepitev pospeševanja zaradi avtomatizacije. V nadaljevanju je obravnavan odnos med novinarstvom in časom, ki je neločljivo povezan z novinarskim delom. Potreba po takojšnjosti, naglici in aktualnosti ni le del novinarske prakse, temveč spada med temeljne ideološke kamne novinarske profesije. To ima posledice za normativno poslanstvo novinarstva, na katero bodo vplivali tudi algoritmi. Podana sta dva spekulativna scenarija: pesimistični, z dodatnim pospeševanjem novinarskega dela in množičnim odpuščanjem, kjer bi bili algoritmi zamenjava za novinarje, ter optimistični, kjer bi algoritmi lahko prevzeli najbolj rutinizirane oblike dela in dopolnjevali delo novinarjev, kar bi zaradi upočasnjevanja prispevalo k zviševanju kakovosti novinarstva.
