The paper analyzes and problematizes the self-understanding of the relationship between emancipation or liberation on one hand and knowledge or truth on the other. The authors point to at least an equally convincing counter-tradition of challenging the emancipatory potential of knowledge - which they present in two separate parts of the article. The first part is dedicated to historical notions of knowledge as dangerous, destructive or aggravating. If the goal is happiness, well-being or serenity, knowledge should be given up. The second part of the paper questions the assumption of emancipation as a consequence of knowledge. The basis of this connection lies in the idea of freedom, understood not as the absence of obstacles, but as a field of self-control and direction - for which only knowledge (of necessity) qualifies. This way, knowledge does not liberate by offering different choices, but spares the individuals the frustration of striving for the impossible. Eventually, postmodernist philosophers suggest abandoning the very idea of emancipation, condemning every collective ?will to emancipate? as fatal totalitarian project. For their part, they detect, knowledge has always been inextricably linked to and imbued with power relations. Now it has only finally separated itself from the illusions of personal emancipation and social transformation and openly put into service not longer this or that truth, but its own usability, usefulness, profitability and effectiveness. In the conclusion, the authors point out the contemporaneity of the status question of the traditionally understood knowledge and signal the possibilities of its character liberated from the ?liberating? function.

This paper focuses on the rights of custody under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. Article 5 of the Convention stipulates that rights of custody for the purposes of this Convention shall include rights relating to the care of the person for the child and, in particular, the right to determine the child?s place of residence. The existence of this right is assessed according to the law of the state in which the child was habitually resident before the removal or retention and in this regard no doubts are observed in practice. On the other hand, although article 5 of the Convention gives definition of the rights of custody, application of this provision is accompanied by different interpretations. Judicial and administrative authorities have doubts which rights parent must possess in order to be protected by the Convention. The paper concludes that it should be considered that a parent who does not live with the child, but has the right of veto over the child?s international relocation or his/her consent is required to change the child?s residence, has the rights of custody and can apply for the prompt return of a child under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction.

The aim of this paper is the analysis of different forms and transfor?mations in defining and declaring the ethnic identity of the people of Bunjevci from Backa in the population census in the territory of today?s Vojvodina in the period from 1850 to 2011, as well as the circumstances that influenced the modalities of expressing their ethnicity in different state frameworks - first in the Kingdom of Hungary, then in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and socialist Yugoslavia, and finally in the Republic of Serbia. The subject of the research is the official results of certain censuses, along with the analysis of political, social and cultural-educational factors that were of the importance to the people of Bunjevci when declaring their ethnic affiliation. Also, the paper analyzes the historical context and social relations that had a decisive influence on the transformations in the declaration of ethnic identity, including various national integration processes in the area of Backa. As a consequence of the intersection of different integration models within one population, two forms of identity were shaped and the ethno-national duality of the Bunjevci and Bunjevci-Croats is present to this day. Analyzing the ethnic identity of the Bunjevci through the official results of the population census contributes not only to better under?standing of the complexity of the process of building awareness of one?s own identity, but also of the specificity of the case of the Bunjevci, who are still the subject of conflicting and mutually opposing interpretations in scientific and public discourse.

Gambling can be defined as a common name for a set of different games, behaviors and activities, which involve investing money or some other value, with risk and hope in anticipation of a positive outcome. With the development of society, gambling took on different forms and meanings depending on the socio-cultural norms and beliefs of a given era. Today we are talking about gambling as a generally accepted activity, present in different social contexts. Although most individuals participate in gambling as a fun social activity, a small group of people become seriously involved in gambling activities, which currently leads to the recognition of gambling as a behavioral addiction, known as ?gambling disorder?. Various public policy factors, economic factors, community factors, social norms, legislation, as well as media coverage of gambling have made a huge contribution to the popularization and liberalization of gambling. The aim of this paper is to summarize scientific knowledge about key socio-cultural aspects of gambling. Based on a review of relevant and recent literature, the paper will present the development of gambling throughout history, socio-cultural factors of gambling and the social implications of gambling.

This article scrutinizes the attitude of the British political elites towards the Eastern question, in the year of the beginning of the Serbian liberation and unification wars of 1876-1878. It is based on diverse sources, Hansard?s Parliamentary Debates being the most important one. The Eastern question, as geopolitical problem of the future of the Balkan and Levantine lands from which the Ottoman Empire was gradually retreating, has been considered through the confrontation of Great Britain and Russia on the wider Eurasian stage, especially in relation to their conflict in the Central Asia. The article is mainly devoted to the different interpretations, debates and conflicts in the British Parliament and public opinion, provoked by the Serbian uprising in Herzegovina and Bosnia, atrocities in Bulgaria, and the beginning of the Serbian-Turkish Wars. The divisions went mainly through the party lines. Behind almost all events in the East, the Conservatives perceived the hand of Russia and League of the Three Emperors (Dreikaisebund). These ?foreign influences? were attributed mainly to Russia and Serbia, as the alleged Russia?s tool in the Balkans. Thus, according to the Conservatives, the Serbs and Russians were to blame for the sufferings of Bulgarians in the hands of the Turks. Additionally, they were repeating that Turkish crimes were committed in self-defence, and that the numbers of victims were hugely exaggerated by the Russian, Serbian and Bulgarian propaganda and the British liberal press. The Conservatives had similar attitudes towards the atrocities committed by the Turks in the Eastern Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Liberals, on the other hand, were insisting that the main causes of these uprisings and wars were national feelings, economical problems, and the misrule of the Turks. They were directing their moral indignation not only to the Turks, but to the British government as well. According to the Liberals, by despatching of the British fleet in the vicinity of the Ottoman capital, the British government encouraged the Turks and made Great Britain co-responsible for the atrocities committed in Bulgaria, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Equilibrium models play a central role in modern (micro)economic analysis. They form the basis of almost all our understanding in economics and are increasingly being used in other fields of social science. Yet there are numerous limitations to the equilibrium approach. To name a few: the treatment of time, i.e., the problem of distinguishing between ?time in models? and ?models in time?; learning process, i.e., the problem of knowledge necessary to attain the equilibrium; equilibrium dynamics, i.e. considering the equilibrium attainment process and not just the equilibrium state. Many critics already drew attention to the reach and limitations of the ?engineering approach? in economic science. It seems that the ?voice of reason? has never been loud enough. This paper presents a review of the above-mentioned problems.

The aim of this paper is to analyze how managers who are characterized by optimism and excessive self-confidence, as forms of bias and irrationality, manage corporate finances. The assumption of the perfect rationality of an average man, from which the proponents of traditionalist economic views proceeded, proved to be unfounded in practice and was rejected by modern economics. Limited rationality and the absence of rationality in making economic decisions by the average person are accepted as real phenomena. The thesis that managers are more rational than average people is also called into question. Irrationality can occur in various forms. This paper deals with two forms of irrationality: optimism and excessive self-confidence, and factors that affect their level. It is considered how the optimism and excessive self-confidence of managers affect the profiling of investment, financing and dividend payment policies. Furthermore, factors that control actions of biased managers are presented. The results of the analysis of the relevant literature demonstrate that biased managers mainly rely on internal and short-term external sources of financing, invest significantly more and with greater risks than average managers, and generally pursue a residual dividend policy.

Debates regarding the possible taxation of ?shund? content and the ?return of tax on shund? from the period of the former SFRY, are opened every few years in the national public media space. In order to see the scope of such debates more clearly, this paper provides an overview of different notions of ?shund? and kitsch in the humanities, points out the permeation of cultural and tax policy in the context of modern public policy and provides a historical and juridical overview and assessment of ?tax on shund? from the socialist period. The goal is to shed light on the most prominent theoretical problems via an interdisciplinary analytical apparatus and using a comparative, historical, inductive and descriptive method and try to answer the questions of the formulation and possible operationalization of the ?tax on shund?. In the end, the only thing left is the judgment that the introduction of the proposed form of taxation would not find its foundation in the science of taxes, that the cost-effectiveness and fiscal abundance of such measures would be uncertain, and that, in the absence of a scientifically based definition of ?shund?, the bodies entrusted with public authority would face the problems of the so-called indefinite notion and arbitrariness in evaluation.

The study presents the identity of Bulgarians in Skorenovac concerning their mother tongue use, bilingualism, religion and customs, based on linguistic and ethnographic fieldwork done in the past four years. It analyzes those main social and historical factors which were a drift for the identity of ?Paltyans? (Catholic Bulgarians living in Southern Banat). Paltyans living in Skorenovac, as part of the Catholic Bulgarian community in Banat, represent a hidden minority, and social cohesion within the community is guaranteed by their language, religion and customs. According to these, in our study we will examine elements of identity of Bulgarians living in Banat, based on metalingual narratives of several representatives of the Bulgarian language community. As a result of our research, some historic and social events and practices become visible, which induced almost complete termination of the mother tongue of Banat Bulgarians. Bulgarians in Skorenovac experienced a language shift due to their surroundings, speaking mainly Hungarian starting from the end of the 19th century. Further elements of their identity: tradition, religion, belonging to an ethnic community, all these are closely related to Banat Bulgarian identity. However, elements of the Bulgarian language occur very rarely.

This paper analyzes the basic theological foundations of John XI Bekkos, a Unionist Patriarch from the XIII century. Particular attention is paid to flori?legium known as Epigraphai, wherein Bekkos endeavoured to find patristic support for his views and show that Eastern and Western Christian traditions are actually compatible. Bekkos? theses presented in this work - including his apology of filioque, which he relates to the doctrine of the Eastern Church on procession of the Holy Spirit ?through Son? - were criticized by Gregory Palamas in his work Antepigraphai. After exposition of the key features of this work and (final) determination of its chronology, we bring an editio princeps of its Serbian Church-Slavonic translation from the XIV century. A Chilandar transcript from the end of the XIV century is taken as a source text, but it is compared with other six known transcripts of this translation.
