Periodismo especializado y especialización política
2015
En este artículo se revisa la bibliografía sobre periodismo especializado y se analizan los rasgos normalmente aducidos para identificar la especialización periodística, que apuntan por lo general al contenido de los textos: la especificidad temática, el enfoque en profundidad, la metodología de investigación, el recurso a fuentes expertas, la necesidad de formación complementaria a la pro-piamente periodística, la orientación a audiencias segmentadas, el uso de géneros textuales con-cretos, o la adecuación lingüística. La aplicación de estos mismos factores a la especialización políti-ca pone de manifiesto la necesidad de cuestionar los rasgos aducidos y considerar otros criterios en el co…
Wokół problemu wznowienia obrad IV Forum Polsko - Niemieckiego w listopadzie 1985 roku
2018
Forum polsko - niemieckie powołane do życia w 1976 roku stało się płaszczyzną rozmów i konsultacji bilateralnych. Po wprowadzeniu stanu wojennego jego prace zawieszono. Z uwagi na znaczenie Forum podjęto, zarówno w PRL, jak i w RFN, wiele działań mających na celu zniwelowanie niekorzystnych wypowiedzi stojących na przeszkodzie przywróceniu jego prac. Dotyczyło to szczególnie wypowiedzi polityków chadeckich w sp[rawie granicy polsko - niemieckiej i mniejszości niemieckiej w Polsce czy braku zgody na udział w Forum przedstawicieli koncesjonowanych polskich związków zawodowych. Natomiast strona polska zgodziła się przede wszystkim na udział w pracach Forum polityków niemieckich związanych z kr…
Bezpieczeństwo państwa a mniejszości narodowe
2017
National minorities, either today and in the past, certainly can be considered as a potential source of various types of threats to the security of State. States as the organizational form of different nations, not always peacefully co-exist, therefore a situation in which people of different nationalities residing in the territory of one country is inevitably more complex and raises many problems. Needs of State in terms of security, differ from those of groups and individual members of society. Threats may vary in nature and intensity and come from different directions, which depends on a wide variety of factors. This relation is not so simple because the State (and the members of the maj…
The Supranational Dimension in Max Weber’s Vision of Politics
2019
Max Weber analyzed politics from the perspective of Chancen for actors, and he never separated world politics from domestic politics. The “Westphalian balance” between great European powers shaped Weber’s views on international polity. However, he also regarded Western individualism, human rights, and parliamentary democracy as necessary qualities to possess in order to be recognized as a great power. This vision provided the basis for his wartime critique of the expansionist tendencies in German foreign policy and for his demand for the parliamentarization of German politics. After the end of World War I, Weber used Woodrow Wilson’s idea of the League of Nations as the basis for a proposal…
Mourning Missing Migrants: Ambiguous Loss and the Grief of Strangers
2019
While the term missing refers to various instances and practices, we focus on the bodies of deceased migrants that remain unidentified, and on the inability of families to mourn someone when there is no body to grieve for. We deploy some ethnographic fragments of how Italian communities sometimes mourn those who are buried without a name and we describe the many problems of mourning someone whose fate is unknown through a discussion of the notion of ‘ambiguous loss’. Our contribution articulates some of the politics around deaths in migration by considering how missing migrants and their bodies are mourned in multiplicity. peerReviewed

Solving Conflicts among Conservation, Economic, and Social Objectives in Boreal Production Forest Landscapes: Fennoscandian Perspectives
2018
This chapter discusses challenges and possibilities involved in preserving biological diversity and the diversity of ecosystem services in the boreal zone and yet at the same time maintaining intensive timber extraction in boreal forests. Our focus is on Fennoscandian forests at the landscapes level, and we consider economic, social and ecological in the sustainability of forest management. We provide an outlook to boreal forest ecosystems and their history, and an overview of the forestry practices and policies that aim to ensure multi-functionality of Fennoscandian forests, i.e. diversity of efforts on sustaining biodiversity, timber production and other ecosystem services from forest lan…
Design science research genres : introduction to the special issue on exemplars and criteria for applicable design science research
2018
We propose the definition of genres in IS design science research (DSR). In recent years DSR has become a well-accepted research paradigm within IS; however, now the diversity of purpose, methodology, and mental models has increased to a point where reviewers and editors are unsure about which standards to apply to particular research submissions. For some researchers an artefact of value is a system or system component, while for others artefacts ought to be theories or theory components. Such differences are hard to reconcile and researchers often face criticism from diverse corners of the paradigm, where beliefs and standards are very different. We observed this diversity of views among …
Cultural Politics of Love and Provision among Poor Youth in Urban Tanzania
2015
This article examines how urban youth in the poorest neighbourhoods of Dar es Salaam negotiate the terms of transactional intimacy, that is, heterosexual relations in which men are expected to provide for women materially. Using the concept of ‘affect’, I argue that this negotiation involves different levels of male providership, as well as moral values attached to notions of ‘true love’ and the Swahili concept of tamaa. Poor men and women view their agency differently within transactional intimacy, with women describing themselves as exploited by men who do not fulfil their end of the transactional bargain, and poor men portraying themselves as deeply disempowered in comparison to wealthie…
