Autonomiczna Republika Krymu: pogranicze ukraińsko-rosyjskie
2014
Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest kategoria pogranicza ukraińsko-rosyjskiego ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem Autonomicznej Republiki Krymu. Istotne jest ukazanie pogranicza w różnych kontekstach i ujęciach, dlatego w pierwszej części artykułu odniesiono się do wydarzeń, jakie rozgrywały się na terytorium Ukrainy na końcu 2013 roku i w pierwszych miesiącach 2014 roku. Wydarzenia ostatnich miesięcy pokazują wyraźnie, że Południowy Wschód Ukrainy nie jest monolitem. Inaczej funkcjonuje społeczeństwo Krymu, inaczej Donbasu, a jeszcze inaczej Odessy czy Charkowa. W drugiej części artykułu przedstawiono zarys historyczny etnosu Tatarów krymskich, który okazał się niezbędny do ukazania przynależ…

The New Moral Power of Minorities
2018
The model of three interrelated social entities proposed by Gabriel Mugny to account for the role of active minorities in social innovation and change retains all its relevance and heuristic value (cf. Mugny, 1982). However, the fight of the civil rights movements of the ’60s transformed the moral perspective from which the majority regards their own behaviors towards social minorities. This resulted in an immorality judgment of discriminatory attitudes and behaviors that had long been regarded as natural. Thus a change has been effected on the relationships between majority and minority groups, providing minorities with a new moral power. As a result of such a new moral representation of p…
