L'expérience subjective des femmes de diverses origines ethniques victimes d'agressions sexuelles intrafamiliales pendant l'enfance: Deux études de cas

IntroductionChild sexual abuse (under 18 years old) in women is a widespread problem in all communities, with many serious consequences. Although there are several studies concerning victims of sexual assault, few focuses on their experiences by taking ethnocultural aspects into account. Moreover, although internal attribution is common among victims, i.e., feelings of guilt and shame, few studies explore this aspect in victims from different ethno-cultural backgrounds. However, specific values in different cultures can influence the emotions victims feel and, thus their experiences. ObjectiveThis article aims to explore the experiences of victims of intrafamilial child sexual abuse from different ethno-cultural backgrounds. MethodTwo case studies were carried out. Data were collected through individual semi-structured interviews with two women from different ethnocultural backgrounds who were victims of intrafamilial child sexual abuse. ResultsThe results reveal some similarities between the experiences of these two volunteers, despite their diverse backgrounds, notably concerning the relationship with their mother, gender roles, cultural differences, identity issues, sexuality, feelings of shame and guilt, and consequences of sexual assault. ConclusionThis study highlights the importance of conducting more research on the subject to understand their experiences better. This will enable us to assess their needs better and provide appropriate support.

Этнокультурные и конфликтологические аспекты восприятия интернет-мемов: результаты эксперимента с использованием айтрекинга

Background. The development of media communication technologies leads to the new ways of information exchange. Content takes compact forms which requires to transform cognitive sphere in order to better operate with the emerging forms of information. Memosphere seems to be one of the directions in the development of modern media content, in which ethnocultural, social, value and cognitive features of perception unfold. Objective. The study is aimed at identifying the characteristics of perception and cognitive processing of the meme as the most relevant media form. Ethnocultural aspect of processing and identification of a meme is revealed, as well as the peculiarities of the perception of memes under the condition of a conflict between the ethnocultural identity of the respondent and the memosphere in which a specific meme originated. Methods. The experimental study included two series in which cultural specifics of cognitive activity in respondents when perceiving memes belonging to the Russian and Chinese memospheres were analyzed. Registration of oculomotor activity was carried out with an SMI RED 250 Hz tracker, hardware and software “SMI Gaze & Eye-tracking System” were applied. The experimental task involved visual analysis of polycode text (image), followed by an assessment of the origin of the meme (Russian or Chinese media sphere), as well as by marking the most subjectively significant image elements. Respondents' self-reports on the key features in meme identification were subjected to content analysis. IBM SPSS Statistics 26 was used in statistical analysis of the data obtained. Study Participants. 39 respondents took part in the experimental study: undergraduates at the Faculty of Journalism, Lomonosov Moscow State University, average age 24.7 years (SD = 4.1), including 21 citizens of the Russian Federation and 18 citizens of the People's Republic of China. Results. Respondents from the two groups successfully completed the task of meme identification in 64% of cases. The text in Russian was designated as the most informative element of the meme in both groups. Data on eye movements revealed a general tendency towards focal perception of the stimulus among respondents from Russia and towards sliding viewing among students from China. The origin of the stimulus shows weaker effect on the characteristics of oculomotor activity. For Russian memes, successful identification is associated with a shorter scanning path, and for Chinese memes, on the contrary, with a longer scanning path, which suggests the existence of an optimal visual scanning method for the culture-specific graphic structure of a meme. Conclusions. The results showed that ethnocultural features are manifested both at the level of constructing memes and at the level of their perception and cognitive processing by respondents. The conflict of perception manifests itself in the impossibility to interpret ethnocultural references, which leads to a misunderstanding of the meaning and is reflected in the parameters of the respondents’ oculomotor activity.

Этнокультурные аспекты арктической специфики в стратегиях социально-экономического развития регионов и муниципалитетов Арктической зоны Российской Федерации

The article addresses the integration of ethnocultural aspects of the Arctic issues concerning the Indigenous Small-Numbered Peoples of the North, Siberia, and the Russian Far East (ISNP) into the socio-economic development strategies (SEDS) of the regions and municipalities within the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF). The study is based on the authors' methodology for content analysis of strategies, which enables the identification of the presence of various Arctic-specific topics in the texts. The content analysis of 61 strategies from Arctic regions and municipalities reveals a low level of implementation of federal regulations dedicated to supporting ISNP in regional and municipal SEDS. The development of the "nomadic schools" topic in the SEDS is also examined, and the strategies where this issue is covered are described. The article compares municipalities and regions of the AZRF based on the presence of ethnocultural topics in the strategies and their corresponding socio-economic indicators. A final grouping of municipalities is conducted according to the actual proportion of ISNP in the population of Arctic municipalities and the degree to which ISNP-related issues are reflected in SEDS, determined by the frequency of the marker word “Indigenous Peoples (ISNP).” Five groups of municipalities are identified, with particular attention given to Group IV: “Significantly Underrepresenting Important ISNP-Related Topics for the Municipality.” Additionally, the results of the municipal grouping highlight the prominence of regional boundaries. Differences in content analysis results based on the geographical location of the municipalities are identified. The article may be useful for providing recommendations to Arctic strategists on incorporating Arctic-specific issues into strategic documents.

ОБ ЭСТЕТИКЕ СЕЛЬСКОХОЗЯЙСТВЕННЫХ ЛАНДШАФТОВ

The rationale for the change of social functions of the cultural landscape in the development of new aspects of human activity, leading to the formation of a new type of aesthetic perception, is given. The aesthetic functions of the landscape, their role in the formation of a favorable visual environment and the preservation of the historical memory of society are considered. Using the example of large natural and cultural landscape complexes in two Chinese provinces, it is shown that the preservation and development of the aesthetic potential of cultural landscapes can lead to a change in their development, a change in the way of nature management and the formation of a completely new type of perception and a new approach to formation. It is established that in the modern historical period, the aesthetic significance of cultural landscapes has become a more significant factor than the economic functions for which they were created. With the purposeful creation of decorative and economic agricultural landscapes, an integrated approach to landscaping is carried out, including architecture, decorative and utilitarian small architectural forms, various ways of viewing, including the ethnocultural aspect, are offered.

Этноэкономическая трансформация горно-таежного оленеводства в Иркутской области

Abstract. The purpose of the study is the analysis of ethno-economic problems and consequences of transformations of the mountain-taiga reindeer husbandry in Tofalaria. Research methods. To study the reindeer husbandry of the Tofs, an indigenous people of Siberia, a combination of ethno-economic and ecological-geographical methods, as well as elements of a systematic approach, were used, on the basis of which data on the state of reindeer husbandry as a component of the traditional economy were interpreted. Results. The role of transformational processes in the formation of the crisis of reindeer breeding, the decrease in the number of deer, and the change in the nature of land use has been established. Ethno-economic transformations have led to the loss of reindeer breeding skills and micro-areal development of reindeer pastures. It was revealed that the development of rural areas of Tofalaria requires a revision of the traditional ethno-economic complex. Taiga small-scale reindeer husbandry performs the transport function of providing hunting, it does not belong to profitable industries, there are no methods to calculate its effectiveness in objective terms. It is emphasized that the main guidelines for assessing reindeer breeding are the preservation of the deer population and the age and sex structure of the herd, as well as its symbolic significance for the ethnic culture of the Tofs. The request of the ethnosociety for the development of reindeer husbandry expresses both the needs of the traditional economy and the ethnocultural aspects of ethnicity. These conclusions contribute to expanding the understanding of the complex nature of traditional nature management systems and their sustainability. The practical significance of the results lies in the possibility of adjusting regional programs to support indigenous peoples, taking them into account. Scientific novelty. It has been established that in the crisis state of reindeer husbandry, the consequences of unfinished transformation processes and the contradictions caused by them in the natural and economic system of traditional nature management are still affecting. Inconsistency in management based on planned indicators and ignoring traditional experience laid the foundation for a negative scenario for the development of reindeer husbandry long before the post-Soviet transformations.

THE RITUAL CULINARY LEXIS RELATED TO THE BIRTH OF A CHILD IN THE BULGARIAN DIALECTS (SEMANTICS AND MOTIVATION)

The paper presents ritual culinary lexis related to the ritual of childbirth from the Bulgarian dialects. In the ethnocultural aspect, the motivational sign of the names that underlie the nomination are studied, and according to which they are classified into separate groups. Ethnographic material is of particular importance in determining the motivational sign of the names, although there are terms in which it would be very difficult to determine the motivating word even in the context of the whole ritual. In each group the culinary terms are presented with their meanings and distribution in the Bulgarian language territory. The material is excerpted from the "Archive for Bulgarian Dialect Dictionary" at the Institute for Bulgarian Language "Prof. Lyubomir Andreychin" - BAS, "Bulgarian etymological dictionary", from field work and other written dialect sources. The semantics of the names is analyzed in the context of the birth rite with which it is directly related. Some changes in the semantic structure of the names, unfolded in diachrony, are pointed out. They have changed their meaning and have gradually changed from specialized names to commonly used words. The aim is to show the close connection between rituals and ritual lexis and the need to study this lexis from both linguistic and cultural point of view, as a significant part of the terms are motivated by the names of rituals and ritual realities.

Газет тақырыбындағы прецеденттік бірліктер қолданысы

In the article, the language culture in the mass media and the established tradition of the language of the people are analyzed from a scientific point of view, the precedent units that have been formed as a science in the course of the study of the Kazakh language are analyzed in the mass media, and the linguistic and ethno-cultural aspects of the language culture are classified from a scientific and practical point of view. Precedent names and names in the media are a source of cultural information as culturally meaningful names. That's why it is important to study the linguistic nature of the expressions and transmission of precedent names in intercultural communication and interlinguistic communication from the point of view of linguistics in order to improve health. Therefore, in the course of the study, on the basis of the comparative analysis of modern theories and concepts, the use of precedent units in the regional press pages was described by specific examples, and their pragmatic functions were demonstrated. Precedent names in the mass media are mainly created for pragmatic purposes, they provide preliminary information from the story line and serve as a basis for an impressive, understandable, thorough, eventful presentation of the story to the consumer. This, in turn, gives an opportunity to clearly understand the professional skills of journalists working in the media, in addition to their thorough knowledge of national traditions, customs, cultural, social and political issues. It is known that due to the development of science and technology, using gestures and various slang words in interlanguage communication is a big danger that leads to a decrease in vocabulary. That's why understanding the meaning of speech, striving to convey more meaning with fewer words is probably a necessity of the times.

Analysis of the results of the empirical study of ethnocultural aspects of social service provision in Uzbekistan

Within the framework of the strong social policy carried out in the country, because of the implementation of public policy based on territorial and other socio-cultural factors and the interests of the people, the differentiation of social assistance is growing. This, in turn, is a question of the organization, management and development of a system of social services, the study of the mechanism of its institutionalization. Therefore, it will be necessary to research the legal, social, economic, medical foundations of the intensive development of the social service system in Uzbekistan. To do this, first, it is necessary to study the provision of social services sociologically. The purpose of this study is to systematically-functionally analyze the institutional development of the system of social services for the population. Results: the final recommendations obtained from the research results are used to raise the level of social service culture in the regions, to independently improve the professional training of employees working in the social security system; teaching courses such as “Professional culture”, “Ethics of social work” for students majoring in social work; in the sociological study of issues such as juvenile disability, disability acquired during work, disability acquired due to accidents, from the point of view of social service, more precisely, in providing them with practical social assistance; as a cultural factor in the provision of social services, as a result of the manifestation of national-cultural characteristics such as “shame”, “hesitation”, “anxiety”, “pride”, “pity”, “courage”, in the provision of social-cultural assistance to those who cannot receive social assistance based on the established procedure It is intended to be used (in carrying out social correction). Conclusion: according to the results of empirical research, there is no positive correlation between the current state of social services (activities of social workers), empirical state (recipients of social assistance) and ideal state (opinion of experts). This is natural. Because, in the process of providing services and receiving practical help, new demands and needs increase, the style of relationships becomes cultured, and the value factor dominates.

Colonization of the northern outskirts of the Tarsky district in the pre-Soviet period: historical and ethnocultural aspects

The study deals with the history of the colonization of the northern part of the Tarsky okrug (district) in the late 17th — early 20th centuries (Western Siberia, Russia). This taiga territory, which included the upper reaches of the Demyanka River, featured an abundance of hunting resources, but it was located significantly far from the administrative center of the district and was surrounded by barely-passable swamps. The objectives of the re-search include determination of the chronological features of the colonization with an emphasis on the ethnic and cultural aspects of the process. The paper is based on diverse sources: cartographic materials, 18th–20th century publications, archival records, and the field historical and ethnographic data. The study is based upon the theo-retical framework by A.V. Golovnev concerning the concepts of “colonization” and “anthropology of movement”. It has been ascertained that the administrative borders in the area of the Demyanka River were originally deter-mined along the boundaries of the areas of activity of the ethnic groups assigned to different districts of the To-bolsk gubernia. Three stages were revealed in the history of colonization of the northern part of the Tarsky okrug, within each of which the area was perceived from the administrative center in a special way, and the policy to-wards it differed significantly. In the 17th–18th centuries, the state control was limited to the collection of the yasak from the Tatar hunters who seasonally visited the Demyanka territory. Later on, up until the 1880s, only unregis-tered groups of nomadic Khanty and Evenks were staying in the territory, with whom some officials and other district dwellers had maintained unofficial socio-economic contacts. In the 1890s–1910s, after the arrival of a large number of peasant settlers in the okrug, the authorities conducted the first economic and geographical sur-vey of the territory for the prospect of its agricultural exploitation, while the local Russian old-settlers and a small part of the migrants established intensive tradable hunting in the Demyanka territory, developing a network of routes through the swamps.

Ethnocultural Aspects of Improving the Tourist Support of Medical Tourism

The subject of the study is the main and background institutional factors of medical tourism. It is proved that the background factors are, among other things, a complex of ethno-cultural components, the inclusion of which in the practice of the phenomenon can significantly increase the attractiveness of the host territory. Special attention is paid to such a factor as the ethno-cultural preparation of a medical tourist to stay in a different environment in terms of social interaction. The importance of the proposed approach in all types and forms of medical tourism is emphasized: health/medical, inbound, outbound, domestic (taking into account the polyethnicity of our country). The conducted sociological measurements (focus group discussions, mass survey) showed that such work with patients is not carried out. Health and wellness practices include the interaction of two social groups – the patient and the medical staff. In the case of medical tourism, the second of the groups is differentiated into two subgroups – medical personnel and specialists of the tourism industry. It is established that there is no unified scheme for ensuring the process at the level of collegial interaction of these two subgroups at all. The novelty of the research consists in actualizing this contradiction and substantiating the expediency of ethno-cultural preparation of a medical tourist to stay in a different environment in terms of social interaction in the context of multiculturalism. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to create an expert formation at the regional level, which could ensure the complexity of the interaction of both subgroups on the basis of public-private partnership and achieve a more capacious inclusion of the ethnocultural potential of the territory in the medical product. This poses the task of additional training of tourist specialists specifically for medical tourism - to work with patients in the direction of familiarizing them with the ethnocultural features of the receiving locus and with variants of models of interaction between a doctor and a patient.

Pashtun homelands in an Indo-Afghan hagiographical collection

AbstractThe article explores the ethnocultural aspects and ideological implications of a hagiographical collection from the Tārīkh-i Khānjahānī wa Makhzan-i Afghānī (1613), a book on the general history of the Pashtuns compiled in the Indo-Afghan diaspora. This article primarily focuses on the stories that either presumably originate from or directly relate in content to Pashtun tribal areas to the west of the Indus. Being foremost a supplement to the Tārīkh-i Khānjahānī’s genealogical section, the hagiographical anthology was included in this book to highlight and illustrate the idea of the Pashtuns’ continuous adherence to Islam throughout many centuries. However, its narratives suggest that Islamic traditions in the Pashtuns’ collective memory can be traced back as far as the turn of the thirteenth century. While the genealogies maintained the principle of patrilineal descent as the basic attribute of Pashtun identity, the hagiographies affirmed the profession of Islamic faith as another integral component of this identity and also brought to light its linguistic criterion. One of the article’s sections offers a survey of the cases where the Pashto language as well as Pashto lexemes and phrases are mentioned in the Persian text of the hagiographies. The article also attempts to locate the Tārīkh-i Khānjahānī’s hagiographical collection among similar works in Indo-Persian literature; it also considers such still-understudied issues as the emergence of spiritual lineages in Pashtun tribes and the entwining of folklore and conventional Islamic elements in the stories about Pashtun religious leaders.

Mediation in Kazakh customs as an institute of volunteerism

The concept of “mediation” is a complex system based on the establishment of a compromise in a historical and philosophical context. Volunteering is the implementation of voluntary activities in providing assistance to vulnerable groups in a social strata. The article considers the answers to the questions what is the concept of mediation in the traditional Kazakh society and its connection with voluntariness, what is its essence. This article will not only allow us to scientifically study the relationship of conciliation procedures in Kazakh society with mediation, moral aspects, but also assess the essence of this concept from the point of view of voluntariness, spiritual and moral value as an ethical phenomenon. The authors take a step towards scientific theoretical analysis based on the theses of scientific works of a number of researchers who studied the patterns of mediation in the article. The ethno-cultural aspects of mediation are revealed, based on the fact that the activities of the board members who carried out voluntary mediation activities in the Kazakh steppe to reconcile the conflicting parties are really connected with voluntariness. Although the historical and theoretical foundations of conciliation procedures are considered only in the law of customs, at the present stage it is concluded that research is necessary along with voluntary, ethical principles

International collaborative learning experiences cultivate ethnic-cultural dialogue among peers

ABSTRACT When dialogue between colleagues from diverse cultures is painted in ethnocultural colors, it is possible to express aspects related to religious, ideological, and ethnic characteristics and acquire intercultural abilities. This qualitative-interpretive study examined (1) ethnocultural aspects revealed during a course that brought together students from different countries and enabled a dialogue between colleagues that reveals the other’s perspective on socio-cultural issues, (2) how ethnocultural dialogue pedagogy helps cultivate competence Intercultural between diverse groups. Eighty-seven colleagues from Israel and the United States participated in the study, and two research tools were documentation and interviews. The study’s findings revealed two categories: (1) cultural-national aspects; (2) Ethnic aspects. Research findings help understand the relationship between direct and personal ethnic dialogue and terms of culture, nationality, gender, and religion. They demonstrate that peer dialogue has a significant positive impact on fostering intercultural competence, developing social skills, and promoting positive emotional attitudes towards diverse groups. This study also indicates that participants broadened their socio-cultural perspective and formulated an inclusive value concept that expresses openness and holistic observation of various narratives while legitimizing differences in the customs and traditions of each group. The findings have practical implications in shaping pedagogical principles for fostering intercultural competence.

Cultural Geography in Russia in the Early 21st Century: Current State and Key Research Areas

—The article reviews and analyzes trends in the development of Russian cultural geography at the beginning of the 21st century, its specific features, and the latest scientific achievements with respect to the evolution of cultural geography in Western countries. Similarities and differences in the transformation of the main theoretical approaches, scientific methods, and subject areas of specific cultural and geographical studies in foreign countries and Russia are revealed. The most important thematic sections of the article cover the most significant segments of cultural and geographical research in Russia in the 2000s–early 2020s. It is shown that the main focus in the formation of Russian cultural geography (after several decades of neglecting anthropocultural approaches in the Soviet period) was cultural landscape science. The latest advances of Russian cultural geographers in the field of cultural landscape for the first decades of the 21st century are characterized. Domestic ethnic geography, which developed during the Soviet period as part of population geography, is gradually transforming to ethnocultural. Much attention is paid to the correlation of ethnic and regional identity in polyethnic regions, ethnocultural aspects of the geography of nature management, cultural geography of the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia, and the Far East. Religious geography is a new direction of cultural geography for Russia, which has gained great relevance in the post-Soviet period in the revival of religious life in a country characterized by exceptional complexity and the diverse religious composition of the population. The article discusses and analyzes the experience of Russian developments in humanitarian geography—a set of research areas focused on studying systems of ideas about the geographic space in different sociocultural contexts. The great practical significance of cultural and geographical research and the possibility of their use for regional development and optimization of the spatial organization of society are emphasized.

Corruption and confrontation of the plague in folklore: beliefs, superstitions and magical practices (ethnocultural aspects)

In Romanian folklore, the personified Plague has the image of an evil creature that devours people without mercy, eating them literally. The demonic face of the plague, with its skeletal appearance in iconographic art, comes to feed the phobias of people, frightened by the fatal weapons of the plague: sword, scythe or sickle. Two diametrically opposed perceptions of the impact of the Plague on people's lives persist in folklore sources. According to the first, the plague is relentless and devastating, killing people despite their attempts to corrupt it through generous gifts. The second perception, however, offers a ray of hope to people by applying remedies of magical medicine and by facing the plague based on ingenious actions, undertaken by simple and extremely resourceful people. And if in the case of the first perception a state of mind marked by fatalism and despair predominates, then in the case of the second, the prospects of facing the Plague are optimistic and life-giving. The dialogues of the central heroes with the Plague from which both phobias and multiple prejudices and superstitions of people emerge are quasi important in folklore sources. However, the plague is fooled by a shepherd who knows some effective health measures to eradicate the disease. The method of the heroine from the legend of “The Sun and the Swallow” proves to be just as effective when the Plague literally cracked the enormous amount of milk she drank.

Pedagogical features of the ethnocultural aspect of personality in literature

The main goal of the study is to determine the main pedagogical aspects of the ethnocultural characteristics of the individual in the literature. There is a need for a cross-cutting humanization of education, strengthening the personal dimension in pedagogical science and practice. Orientation towards a person (a child, a youth, a student, a well-trained specialist) should become the main goal and content of the education system of the 21st century. The person must be put in the first place. To this end, education should contribute to a person's awareness of his own roots, his place in the world, the assimilation by each individual of the ethnoculture of the community as a way of his being, so that in the future he will be able to enter into a dialogue with other cultures, move freely in their space according to the principle “from knowledge and respect for one's own culture begins to respect other cultures, the desire to study the signs, symbols, codes of another community, to understand their stereotypes of behavior, the peculiarities of the world perception and worldview - the basis of tolerance and unity. " The study was carried out using the following theoretical methods: systems analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparison, classification, generalization and systematization, idealization and abstraction. As a result, the main pedagogical aspects of ethnocultural personality traits in literature were identified.

Животный мир в искусстве и реальности:от раннего железного века до раннего средневековья (по материалам Среднего Подесенья)

The authors aimed to compare the real animal world of a particular region and its reflection in the minds of people of different historical eras, represented in works of applied art and small plastic arts. The choice of the Middle Desna region was determined by its transitional character for Eastern Europe in almost all historical and archaeological periods (both in physical-geographical and ethno-cultural aspects). The authors considered materials of the Yukhnovo culture of the early Iron Age, the Great Migrations, the “antiquity of the Antae”, as well as the beginning of the authentically early Slavic period (Volyntsevo-Romny antiquities). The greatest contamination of the real animal world (first of domestic) is observed in the early Iron Age. Later, in applied art, masters gradually would withdraw from the reality into a higher degree of abstraction, into the realm of mythological and totemic-religious images, in which, however, at times, some real representatives of the fauna were fancifully reflected, both typical and exotic ones for the region. The image of horse is a continuous image in the region — from ceramic figurines and ridge attachments of the end of the 1st millennium BC to the time of the Old Rus. In addition, evolution is noted from simple images associated with a species to composite images — “chimeras”, “shapeshifters” — combining features of various animals, sometimes with the inclusion of anthropomorphic elements (binary opposition “human-animal”).
