Abstract What is knowledge and how can we analyse it from within social sciences as social knowledge? Our socially driven intuition tells us that knowledge is a special relation that humans have with their surrounding world. Its specificity lies primarily in the fact that it implies a direct interaction with the environment. Another important and interesting characteristic of knowledge is its tendency to replace interactions with reality with interactions between pieces of knowledge produced about that specific reality. Connected to this, regarding the issue of truth, paraphrasing both Einstein and Smith, this article argues that ‘an invisible hand’ of the realities of social phenomena makes it so, that the accepted truths of a certain society are those and only those that are functional for the survival and reproduction of that society. And for this to happen it is a must that the elite designated with the production and the legitimation of ‘the truths’ exists and produces those ‘truths’ that support the ‘general interest’ of that respective society. Most importantly is to understand that the consistency of the legitimated truths with the dominant values of the society imbedded in its social order is far more important that their consistency with the empirical observations of the reality.
摘要 什么是知识,我们如何从社会科学的角度将其分析为社会知识?我们的社会直觉告诉我们,知识是人类与周围世界的一种特殊关系。其特殊性主要在于它意味着与环境的直接互动。知识的另一个重要而有趣的特点是,它倾向于用关于特定现实的知识片段之间的互动来取代与现实的互动。与此相关,关于真理的问题,本文引用爱因斯坦和斯密的观点,认为社会现象现实的 "无形之手 "使得某个社会公认的真理是那些且仅是那些对该社会的生存和再生产起作用的真理。而要做到这一点,就必须有负责生产 "真理 "并使其合法化的精英存在,并生产那些支持该社会 "普遍利益 "的 "真理"。最重要的是要明白,合法化的真理与社会秩序中的社会主流价值观的一致性,远比它们与现实中的经验观察的一致性更为重要。

Abstract The article dissects the subject of online social support exchange on social networking sites, or SNS (mostly Facebook and Instagram) through the eyes of the platforms’ active users. Drawing on 20 semistructured in-depth interviews with SNS users from Ukraine, it discusses both the benefits of support exchange in the online realm, such as speed, resilience, unobtrusiveness, and its drawbacks, such as depersonalization, ‘ghosting,’ and privacy concerns. The text also explores the sentiments towards some of the main digital instruments of exchanging support on SNS, in particular posts and various forms of “likes,” as well as the perceived effectiveness of online social support in general. Additionally, it provides some context on how the phenomenon has been impacted by the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
摘要 文章通过社交网站(主要是 Facebook 和 Instagram)活跃用户的视角,剖析了社交网站上的在线社会支持交流这一主题。通过对来自乌克兰的 SNS 用户进行 20 次半结构式深度访谈,文章讨论了在线支持交流的优点(如速度快、弹性大、不显眼)及其缺点(如人格解体、"幽灵 "和隐私问题)。文中还探讨了人们对 SNS 上交流支持的一些主要数字工具的看法,特别是帖子和各种形式的 "赞",以及对网络社会支持总体有效性的看法。此外,本文还介绍了 2022 年俄罗斯入侵乌克兰对这一现象的影响。

Deindustrialization and the Real-Estate– Development–Driven Housing Regime. The Case of Romania in Global Context 非工业化与房地产开发驱动的住房制度。全球背景下的罗马尼亚案例

Abstract The article examines how deindustrialization as economic restructuring and housing regime changes evolved interconnectedly in Romania during the Great Transformation from state socialism to neoliberal capitalism. This article also explores how they acted as conditions for the emergence of a real-estate-development-driven housing regime (REDD-HR) alongside other factors. The analysis is from the perspective of the geographical political economy on the variegated pathways of these phenomena across borders and secondary statistical data collected by two research projects conducted in Romania in the past two years. In the Eastern semiperiphery of global capitalism or a country of the Global Easts with a socialist legacy, after 1990, the state restructured the economy by privatizing industry and public housing. During state socialism, the housing regime supported industrialization-based urbanization, whereas deindustrialization-cumprivatization in emerging capitalism facilitated the appearance of real estate development. On the one hand, the article enriches studies on deindustrialization by highlighting the role of housing in the transformation of industrial relations; on the other hand, the paper revisits housing studies by analyzing deindustrialization as a process with an impact on the changing housing regime. Altogether, deindustrialization-cum-privatization and the changing housing sector are analyzed as prerequisites of the REDD-HR.
摘要 本文探讨了罗马尼亚在从国家社会主义向新自由资本主义大转型期间,作为经济结构调整和住房制度变革的非工业化是如何相互关联地发展的。本文还探讨了它们如何与其他因素一起成为房地产开发驱动型住房制度(REDD-HR)出现的条件。文章从地理政治经济学的角度,分析了这些现象跨越国界的不同路径,以及过去两年在罗马尼亚开展的两个研究项目所收集的二手统计数据。在全球资本主义的东部半边缘地区或具有社会主义传统的全球东部国家,1990 年后,国家通过将工业和公共住房私有化来调整经济结构。在国家社会主义时期,住房制度支持以工业化为基础的城市化,而新兴资本主义的去工业化-私有化则促进了房地产开发的出现。一方面,文章通过强调住房在产业关系转型中的作用,丰富了对去工业化的研究;另一方面,文章通过将去工业化作为一个对住房制度变化产生影响的过程进行分析,重新审视了住房研究。总之,非工业化暨私有化和不断变化的住房部门被分析为 REDD-HR 的先决条件。

Searching for Authenticity: Critical Analysis of Gender Roles and Radical Movements in Personal Development Practices in Contemporary Society 寻找真实性:批判性分析当代社会中的性别角色和个人发展实践中的激进运动

Abstract Personal development has become an industry in neoliberal capitalism, used to help employees adapt to the constant pursuit of growth, such as increased productivity, creativity, time management and business development. As part of my doctoral research, I documented how this type of practice works and how it restructures individuals’ social lives and their perspectives on the world. Personal development, as shaped by neoliberalism, serves as a tool for personal empowerment and adaptation to the restructuring of the welfare state. It is also a means of promoting neoliberal values among people. However, during the containment measures during the pandemic, criticisms of this growth-based approach emerged, leading to a resurgence of ideas about personal care. Self-care developed particularly in marginalised communities, where it was defined as a form of resistance to capitalism through caring for oneself as a member of an oppressed community, with Audre Lorde (1988) defining the concept as having a power of resistance to capitalism. In this presentation, I will explore what happens to personal development, which is a key factor in the construction of capitalist ideology, if neoliberalism is coming to an end. I will also consider whether this is a good time to reclaim personal development and how it can be used to create tools for self-building beyond the intrinsic individualism of the process.
摘要 个人发展已成为新自由主义资本主义的一个产业,用于帮助员工适应不断追求发展的过程,如提高生产力、创造力、时间管理和业务发展。作为我博士研究的一部分,我记录了这种做法是如何运作的,以及它是如何重构个人的社会生活和他们对世界的看法的。在新自由主义的影响下,个人发展成为增强个人能力和适应福利国家结构调整的工具。它也是向人们宣传新自由主义价值观的一种手段。然而,在大流行病期间采取的遏制措施中,出现了对这种以增长为基础的方法的批评,导致有关个人护理的观念再度兴起。奥德雷-罗德(Audre Lorde,1988 年)将 "自我关爱 "这一概念定义为具有抵制资本主义的力量。在本演讲中,我将探讨如果新自由主义即将终结,作为资本主义意识形态构建关键因素的个人发展会发生什么变化。我还将思考现在是否是重拾个人发展的好时机,以及如何利用个人发展来创造工具,以超越个人发展过程中固有的个人主义,进行自我建设。

The Elusive Relationship of State Power and Societal Peace: Reflections on the Case of Kosovo 国家权力与社会和平难以捉摸的关系:对科索沃案例的反思

Abstract Twenty years ago, NATO’s intervention against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY), taking place without the approval of the UN Security Council (UNSC), challenged the sovereignty and non-interference norms the UN had perceived as international peace and order, until that moment. While the military action served to question existing principles, it simultaneously examined the effectiveness of non-authorization. Moreover, the Kosovo case stimulated one of the most important UN reforms that transformed the concept of sovereignty from right to responsibility. Conceptually, the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) has largely advanced since then. The transformation shifted the attention from political to sociological peace making society, gender and victims of conflict at the focus of peacebuilding and peace sustaining processes. The juxtaposition of state and societal peace continues in post-conflict Kosovo with both approaches being intermingled: the security debate covers attempts for a peace-building agenda, whereas the formation of a national army is pursued.
20年前,北约在未经联合国安理会(UNSC)批准的情况下对南斯拉夫联邦共和国(FRY)进行干预,挑战了联合国在那之前一直视为国际和平与秩序的主权和不干涉准则。虽然军事行动对现有原则提出了质疑,但它同时审查了未经授权的有效性。此外,科索沃事件刺激了联合国最重要的改革之一,将主权的概念从权利转变为责任。从概念上讲,“保护责任”(R2P)从那时起有了很大的进步。这一转变将注意力从政治转向社会学的缔造和平社会、性别和冲突受害者,成为建设和平和维持和平进程的焦点。在冲突后的科索沃,国家和平与社会和平继续并存,两种方式相互交织:安全辩论涉及建立和平议程的尝试,而组建国家军队则在进行。

Abstract The exploitation of work and household responsibilities among women and men remains a pressing issue with significant impacts on employee productivity and satisfaction. This study sheds light on the patterns of exploitation and their consequences, with a specific focus on the experiences of HR professionals. The research emphasizes the prevalence of the “flexibility stigma” in society, which views flexible work arrangements, including teleworking, as less committed, motivated, and productive compared to traditional 9-5 work hours. The study also highlights the tendency for workers to extend their work hours when boundaries between work and personal life become blurred. In particular, the study highlights the increased likelihood of working overtime as a result of teleworking, which can further contribute to the exploitation of work and household responsibilities. For HR professionals, it is essential to understand these challenges and develop strategies that support employees’ work-life balance and well-being. The study concludes by calling for a comprehensive approach that considers the institutional and cultural contexts in which employees operate and that prioritizes their well-being and productivity.
摘要男女对工作和家庭责任的剥削仍然是一个紧迫的问题,对员工的生产力和满意度产生了重大影响。这项研究揭示了剥削的模式及其后果,特别关注人力资源专业人员的经历。这项研究强调了社会上普遍存在的“灵活性污名”,认为与传统的朝九晚五的工作时间相比,包括远程工作在内的灵活工作安排没有那么投入、积极和高效。这项研究还强调,当工作和个人生活之间的界限变得模糊时,员工会延长工作时间。特别是,该研究强调,由于远程工作,加班的可能性增加,这可能进一步助长对工作和家庭责任的利用。对于人力资源专业人士来说,了解这些挑战并制定支持员工工作与生活平衡和幸福感的策略至关重要。该研究最后呼吁采取一种全面的方法,考虑员工运营的制度和文化背景,并优先考虑他们的福祉和生产力。

War and Sanctions. Some Economic and Political Lessons to be Learned From Materialist Anthropology 战争与制裁。唯物主义人类学的一些经济和政治教训

Abstract The political field seems to prefer the intellectual resources offered by Political Sciences and Economic Sciences because they fit well into the habits created by the daily practice of power. Assuming that it is not just about self-censorship, the current perspective offered by these scientific fields has some blind spots, and risks legitimizing an unfounded optimism regarding the effectiveness of the means used in the crisis generated by the Russian-Ukrainian war. That is why I consider the perspective offered by materialist anthropology to be very useful for describing the complexity of the power relations, and for a fine-tuning of what-is-at-stake. This perspective, which looks at long-term trends, can highlight the differences between imagined power (given by habits, abstractions and the assumption of continuities) and real power (given by the technologies and resources that matter, real scarcity and international competition). I concluded that the imagined power relations of today are a survival of the real power relations from the near past (when the GDP in the Western world was correlated with powerful local manufacturing and a complete dominance in high-tech research). Our mindset, habits and biases created a blind-spot that made difficult to grasp the complexity of the situation and to react accordingly.
摘要政治领域似乎更喜欢政治科学和经济科学提供的智力资源,因为它们很适合日常权力实践所形成的习惯。假设这不仅仅是关于自我审查,这些科学领域目前提供的观点存在一些盲点,并有可能使对俄乌战争引发的危机中使用的手段的有效性的毫无根据的乐观情绪合法化。这就是为什么我认为唯物主义人类学提供的观点对于描述权力关系的复杂性和对利害关系的微调非常有用。这种着眼于长期趋势的视角可以突出想象中的力量(由习惯、抽象和连续性假设给出)和实际力量(由重要的技术和资源、实际稀缺性和国际竞争给出)之间的差异。我得出的结论是,今天的想象中的权力关系是不久前(当时西方世界的GDP与强大的本土制造业和在高科技研究中的完全主导地位相关)的现实权力关系的延续。我们的心态、习惯和偏见造成了一个盲点,很难理解情况的复杂性并做出相应的反应。

Demography and Population Growth in 1970’s Romania: An Overview of Demographic Studies Published in ‘Viitorul Social’ Journal 1970年代罗马尼亚的人口学与人口增长:《Viitorul Social》杂志上发表的人口学研究综述

Abstract This paper looks at how demographic knowledge was articulated in the 1970s in Romania in a context shaped by both a restrictive natalist agenda and the reestablishment of institutional affiliations with western academia. An account is given of the specific institutional affiliations that coordinated and made knowledge transfers possible between French and Romanian agencies. The text then focuses on the specific vocabulary and reasoning mechanisms employed in a series of texts published throughout the 1970s in the sociological journal Viitorul Social, a monthly magazine of socialist doctrine, culture and politics. The aim is to start a discussion about the possibility that the reestablishment of institutional connections with French demographic trends in the early ᾿70s lent Romanian demographers a type of conservative scientific reasoning and vocabulary that was attuned to the natalist politics of the time.

摘要本文探讨了20世纪70年代罗马尼亚在限制性出生议程和与西方学术界重新建立机构关系的背景下,人口统计学知识是如何表达的。介绍了协调法国和罗马尼亚机构之间知识转让并使之成为可能的具体机构关系。然后,本文重点介绍了整个20世纪70年代发表在社会学杂志《Viitorul Social》上的一系列文本中使用的特定词汇和推理机制,该杂志是一本关于社会主义学说、文化和政治的月刊。其目的是开始讨论与早期法国人口趋势重新建立制度联系的可能性᾿70年代为罗马尼亚人口学家提供了一种保守的科学推理和词汇,与当时的出生主义政治相适应。反过来,这又授权了一种高度政治化的描述,即工人阶级女性应对罗马尼亚出生率下降负责。文章最后提出了其他可能有助于定位人口统计学知识生产及其与生殖政治关系的研究路径。

Abstract Professional stress is a challenge for many companies that want to keep their employees within the organization on one hand and to ensure their performance through a comfortable working environment on the other. This study investigated and evaluated the perceptions of 14 male employees (French and Romanian speakers) working in the same banking call center in Timisoara regarding the causes and effects of work-related stress. The applicability of this study is to develop possible strategies and practices for controlling and reducing work-related stress in order to decrease the high staff turnover. The elaboration of this research is based on the concepts of occupational stress, its effects on the perceived emotional and physical health of the employees but also on their performance and motivation at work. To carry out this qualitative research, we used a semi-structured interview guide written in both Romanian and French, since half of the interviewees are Romanians, and the other half are North Africans from Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria. The main topics on which the interview guide questions were developed are the following: personal and professional experience, working schedule, work rate, performance, motivation, mental and physical health and how all the aforementioned contribute to professional mobility. The research results show that the employees performance and motivation at work are indeed affected by the perceived occupational stress, but it is not the main reason why they consider changing the current job. For most of the interviewed employees, the individual life goals, ambitions, and future projections are the ones influencing them to look for another job position after gaining the desired experience within the call centers.
对于许多公司来说,职业压力是一个挑战,一方面想让员工留在组织内,另一方面又想通过舒适的工作环境确保他们的表现。本研究调查并评估了在蒂米什瓦拉同一家银行呼叫中心工作的14名男性员工(讲法语和罗马尼亚语)对工作压力的原因和影响的看法。本研究的适用性在于制定控制和减少工作压力的可能策略和做法,以减少员工的高流失率。本研究的阐述是基于职业压力的概念,它对员工感知的情绪和身体健康的影响,也对他们在工作中的表现和动机。为了进行这一定性研究,我们使用了用罗马尼亚语和法语编写的半结构化访谈指南,因为一半的受访者是罗马尼亚人,另一半是来自突尼斯、摩洛哥和阿尔及利亚的北非人。编制面试指导问题的主要主题如下:个人和专业经验、工作时间表、工作效率、业绩、动机、身心健康以及上述所有因素如何促进职业流动性。研究结果表明,员工的工作绩效和工作动机确实受到感知职业压力的影响,但这并不是他们考虑换工作的主要原因。对于大多数接受采访的员工来说,个人的生活目标、抱负和未来的预测是影响他们在呼叫中心获得所需经验后寻找另一份工作的因素。
