Tradisi Menjelang Pernikahan Perspektif Paradigma Generasi Muda di Desa Brengkok, Brondong, Lamongan

The younger generation is often considered to be against the establishment running in the community's social environment. For example, in the context of traditions related to ceremonial pre-wedding, there is a new perspective on these various events. For the older generation, this condition can be considered a contradiction to the legacy that has been running in society. More specifically, such a paradigm is also symptomatic among the younger generation of Brengkok Village. This study tries to dig deeper into the paradigm of the younger generation of Brengkok village. By using interview techniques with the younger generation in Brengkok village, it is hoped that they will be able to present more comprehensive data. The interviews were then analyzed using Max Weber's approach to social action theory. The paradigm that exists in the younger generation of Brengkok Village is, of course, based on rational reasons for traditions that have been established and run across generations. Something that has been considered a patent value by the older generation. When the current younger generation is in a position as the older generation, it will certainly give a different touch to the passage of traditions leading up to the wedding. The various rational reasons put forward will become considerations that have more value, which in the end, will answer the anxiety of the older generation about the existence of this tradition.

MARRIAGE PRESSURES AND PERCEPTION OF SINGLEHOOD AMONG YET-TO-MARRY WOMEN IN IBADAN METROPOLIS

Despite the critical disapproval of singlehood in most African societies, Nigeria inclusive, it is most appalling that the age at which women make their first nuptial bliss is becoming late in recent times. Statistics have shown that the number of single women have doubled within a short space of time. The available chunk of studies have paid sufficient attention to the factors responsible for singlehood among older women. However, little studies have examined how different source marriage pressures influence how single women view themselves. Against this background, this article examines the sources of marriage pressures and how they influence the perception of singlehood among women in Nigeria. The study draws heavily on Marx Weber Social Action theory. A total of 24 yet-to-marry women selected through a multistage sampling technique were extensively interviewed. The study found that beside the direct marriage pressure from parents experienced by yet-to-marry women, they are also faced with indirect marriage pressure during gatherings with family, friends, and co-workers. The pressures sometimes translate to the women perceiving themselves as being judged, though most of them feel independent and free. They are of the opinion that they need to be careful in selecting a partner in order not to fall victim of a failed marriage despite having waited for long.

Феномен экологического активизма в перспективе социологического дискурса

The article presents an analysis of environmental activism through the prism of significant sociological concepts. In the logic of social action theories, environmental activism is understood as proactive, goal-oriented social actions and interactions of citizens and organizations carried out in the interests of solving environmental problems. The emphasis is on self-organization, mobilization and coordination of joint actions of communities carried out to achieve relevant environmental goals. The concept of social justice reveals the connection of environmental activism with the fight against environmental discrimination in society for the expansion of rights to a favorable environment; considers it as a "public environmental resistance" to actions / inactions of government and/or business that lead to environmental degradation, the movement for environmental justice. From the standpoint of the theory of social conflict eco-activism is considered a product of the socio-ecological split in a society based on inequality, a manifestation of the negative effects of the environmental crisis on civic activity, a consequence of high conflict tension due to deep contradictions between the ecological ideal and reality. Within the framework of risk sociology eco-activism is justified by the society's desire to minimize social risks and destructions determined by environmental factors. The analysis of eco-activism through the prism of sociological concepts creates a general idea of the diversity of scientific approaches to the consideration of rapidly changing forms of public participation in the protection of the ecosystem under the influence of the coming digital age. The conclusion is made about the need for an integrative understanding and the study of social eco-activism as proactive goal-oriented collective actions of pro-environmentally minded agents undertaken in order to optimize the relationship between society and nature through positive and destructive social practices of eco-protective participation in the real environment and the Internet space.

Including the excluded. Hybrid networks during Covid19: the case of the Giambellino Lorenteggio Emergency Community Fund in Milan

In the city of Milan, the pandemic generated by the spread of Covid-19 in 2020 led to increased inequality between different social groups. This paper reports the case of a neighbourhood community fund promoted by a group of non-profit organisations in one of the poorest areas of the city during the first lockdown (February-June 2020). While providing emergency aid to people who did not access institutional measures during the pandemic, this initiative has also boosted a process of reconfiguring the local network structure, supporting a collective redefinition of the practices and meanings of territorial networking for welfare provision. Referring to direct social action (DSA) theory, the article reflects on the role of community-based DSAs in innovating welfare policies and addressing social and territorial inequalities, looking at network-shaped forms of cooperation among third sector organisations.

How to think about people who don’t want to be studied: Further reflections on studying up

It is now routine for anthropologists to study those who exercise power and control wealth and status in any number of societies. Implicit in anthropology’s long-standing commitment to apprehending societies in their totality, and explicit in the call to study up, paying attention to power is just one of the routine things that anthropologists do in the course of their fieldwork. That said, many theoretical and ethical norms in the discipline are calibrated to allow researchers to both know about and protect those with relatively little power who made up much of anthropology’s original topical area of interests. By contrast, studying people who exercise power entails special ethical and theoretical consideration. This article enumerates some of those considerations, and suggests that anthropologists need to have coherent theories of social action in addition to theories of social meaning. The article also suggests that some canonical disciplinary ethical norms are inappropriate for the study of the powerful for empirical and practical reasons.
