Participatory Observation of Social Groups in a Bucharest Neighborhood

Marin Constantin

Full text (PDF) 

Abstract: The paper is an approach of three institutions in a Bucharest neighborhood, namely a marketplace, a factory, and a school, as seen from the perspective of anthropological method of participant observation. The author argues that participant observation may contribute in terms of ethics, ethnographic relevance, and feasibility, to identifying, analyzing, and interpreting the social groups and relationships specific to urban neighborhoods. In particular the ethnographic roles adapted to the life of local community are ascertained as tools in understanding the social and economic interdependence between such .actors. as the traders, workers, and students. The multiple identity that ethnographer undertakes in the field is eventually related to the very cultural diversity of the urban groups or networks that make the object of social research.

Influenţa dimensiunii culturale individualism-colectivism asupra concepţiilor personale despre inteligenţă

The Influence of the Cultural Dimension of Collectivism - Individualism on Personal Conceptions of Intelligence

Laura Ciochină, Luísa Faria

Full text (PDF) 

Abstract: The core aspect of this article is centered on the attempt to highlight the way in which the individualism-collectivism (IND/COL) dimension . which in the last 20 years has been largely used to compare societies . can be accurately operationalized, to conceive an adequate methodology for the measurement and validation of these two controversial constructs, and, consequently, for the investigation of their relation with the psychological functioning of individuals, particularly, with the structuring and the development of personal conceptions of intelligence (PCI). In this way, at a theoretical level, we analyze the influence of the IND/COL on the PCI of Portuguese and Romanian students, proceeding from the assumption that the cultural context, in which individuals live and act, models such conceptions, and, implicitly, influences the particular achievement patterns of behavior and school performance.

Investigaţii exploratorii în microregiunea Albac-Scărişoara-Horea, judeţul Alba

Exploratory Investigations in the Microregion Albac-Scarisoara-Horea, Alba County

Mihai Pascaru

Full text (PDF) 

Abstract: In the present-day debates regarding the local governance, the need for principles such as that of transparency and participation has become very common, at least at the level of political statements. The analysis of the topic requires however investigations which would go further than Gallup polls, for example. The sociological inquiry within strictly limited territories and beyond administrative boundaries can be an opportunity. Moreover, new techniques are required. Starting from all these considerations, the present study offers the results of several exploratory investigations made in the microregion Albac-Scărişoara-Horea (Alba County). During these investigations, we tested both instruments of the classic inquiry with the aim of identifying the application modality of the principles of transparency and participation as well as the valences of the restoring of the results of the sociological inquiry through individualised restoring and group restoring. The main aim was that of deepening the results of the inquiry, and thus, accomplishing what we shall name in the study the sociologically induced participation through the transfer of representations, opinions and attitudes of the citizens towards the local governance authorities.

Ideologii ale migraţiei, politici ale migraţiei

Migration Ideologies and Policies

Ruxandra Oana Ciobanu

Full text (PDF) 

Abstract: The article studies the migration policy making and sets as an independent variable ideology. The innovative element suggested is that ideology can be constructed not only from above, but also from below. In other words, the classical explicative model would develop from the definition of a situation as a social problem by a group with cultural capital to the awareness of the social problem and imposition of a policy. Contrary to this, the article makes the distinction between formal and informal ideology and furthermore, institutionalized and noninstitutionalized ideology. While the formal ideology is placed at the level of the state managers and power elites, the informal one forms the culture of migration and motivates towards action. I focus in the analysis on the system of migration formed, on the one hand by Romania as a sending country and its policies of emigration, and on the other hand, Italy and Spain, as receiving countries. Italy and Spain are similar countries in the European migration system. Regardless of the similarities, their migration policies are different. This leads to the assumption that there are other variables more important in explaining migration management; such as the ideology on migration.
