Edícia Osobnosti slovenskej fotografie prináša portréty známych i verejnosti menej známych osobností slovenských fotografov v spolupráci troch kultúrnych inštitúcií Slovenskej národnej galérie v Bratislave, Vydavateľstva SLOVART a občianskeho združenia Photoport, subjektov, ktoré sa venujú podpore umenia a kultúry.Autori Filip Vančo a Aurel Hrabušický na základe výskumov pozostalostí a archívov našich fotografov sa rozhodli zmapovať biele miesta v histórii slovenskej fotografie a chcú priblížiť príbehy jednotlivých fotografov a najmä predstaviť ich tvorbu verejnosti.Publikácia Viliam Malík autorov Filipa Vanču a Aurela Hrabušického predstavuje v rámci edície Osobnosti slovenskej fotografie jedného z najvýznamnejších predstaviteľov modernej fotografie na Slovensku v prvej polovici 20. storočia. Viliam Malík začínal ako fotograf amatér, ale vďaka svojim organizačným schopnostiach zastával aj rôzne funkcie v združeniach a zväzoch fotografov amatérov. Zanechal za sebou rozsiahle fotografické dielo, na základe ktorého ho môžeme označiť za priekopníka modernej dokumentárnej aj reportážnej fotografie. Na jeho tvorbe možno názorne dokumentovať prechod od statickej fotografie k modernej dynamickej reportáži. Výber fotografií v publikácii toto konštatovanie potvrdzuje.

Profesor Viliam Marčok (1935 - 2013) sa okrem iného systematicky venoval aj tvorbe Kláry Jarunkovej, ktorú považoval za jedinečnú osobnosť slovenskej literatúry a zároveň poukazoval na jej svetovosť. K životu a tvorbe autorky publikoval mnohé hodnotiace štúdie a články, pripravoval dlhodobejšie skice k jej novému portrétu s osobitným zreteľom na analýzu Jarunkovej epického sveta ako permanentného prizývania k sebatvorbe. Všímal si a analyzoval i Jarunkovej vzťah k rozprávke, diskurzívnu významovosť a virtuozitu Jarunkovej epiky, ako aj jej vzťah k postmoderne. V pozostalosti zachované a doteraz nepublikované štúdie doplnené o niektoré jeho kľúčové články sú obsahom Marčokovej knihy Svetová Klára Jarunková (Spolok slovenských spisovateľov, 2015). Nepochybne budú dôstojným a vedecky významným prínosom k novému poznávaniu tvorby tejto spisovateľky aj pri príležitosti pripomínania 10. výročia jej úmrtia.

Zaužívané príslovie pripomína – Kto sa nezaujíma o svoju minulosť, nie je hoden svojej budúcnosti. Môžeme mu dať za pravdu, veď aj naše dejiny ponúkajú plnú náruč nedopovedaných, naružovo prifarbených a či tendenčných údajov o dejoch, ktoré sa stali, o ľuďoch, ktorí žili pred nami. Vždy totiž pôsobili tvorcovia legiend, ktoré – aj keby sme pripustili, že s tým najpočestnejším úmyslom – posúvali kedysi celkom reálnu postavu do novej a pekne (alebo hanlivo) upravenej podoby. Vôňa života sa vytratila a konkrétna osoba, ktorá žila, ustúpila do pozadia, aby na jej miesto mohla zasadnúť akási jej románová podoba, ktorá vystupuje z miznúceho tieňa tej pôvodnej, originálnej a začína namiesto nej žiť vlastný fiktívny život... No predsa jestvuje pravda o dobe a ľuďoch našej minulosti. Je však skrytá v stáročnom prachu archívov, kam laik prenikne málokedy. Len z času načas ktosi vynesie na povrch fakty naplnené podrobnosťami a ostatní žasneme... Legendy odpradávna nebývajú veľmi verné priateľky často nepeknej, skoro vždy pre niekoho nepríjemnej, spoločníčky nášho života, ktorú voláme pravda. Skúsme teda spoločne pozbierať zvyšok odvahy v nás – aj s rizikom istého sklamania z rozbíjania mýtov – a vydajme sa po stopách osudov mužov, ktorí žili a pôsobili na nám blízkom území ...

Philosophy of Social Science: A Contemporary Introduction examines perennial questions of philosophy through engaging the empirical study of society. Questions of normativity concern the place of values in social scientific inquiry. Questions of naturalism concern the relationship between the natural and the social sciences.　 And questions of reductionism ask how social institutions relate to the people who constitute them.　 This accessible text offers a comprehensive overview of debates in the field, with special attention to new research programs. Topics include the relationship of social policy to social science, interpretive research, cognitive and evolutionary explanations, intentional action explanation, rational choice theory, conventions and social norms, joint intentionality, causal inference, and experimentation.　 Detailed examples of social scientific research motivate the philosophical questions and illustrate the important concepts. Treating philosophical commitments as implicit in social science, students of the social sciences will benefit from its application of philosophical argument to methodological and theoretical problems. The text argues that social science transforms philosophical questions, and students of philosophy will benefit from its direct engagement with contemporary debates.The Second Edition provides updates with the most recent literature and adds two new chapters: one on modeling and one on the role of race and gender in ...

Social workers spend their time trying to ease social suffering. They encounter the extreme casualties of social inequality: the victims of poverty, illness, addiction, and abuse; they work with abusers and offenders; and operate in the space between the State and the poor or marginalized. Social work is replete with vivid human stories: the troubled teenage boy who cannot settle in a foster home; the frail older woman who is desperate for social contact; the community seeking a way to tackle gang violence; the sex offender leaving prison; and the disputed territory of international adoption. Social work therefore holds a fundamental importance throughout the modern world.In this Very Short Introduction, Sally Holland and Jonathan Scourfield explain what social work is and look at its rich historical development. Reflecting international human stories of social problems and social work relationships, as well as the philosophies behind the practice and the evidence about what works throughout the world, they look at the various definitions, history, and debates about purpose and effectiveness, theory, and methods. Including wide ranging examples of social work practice around the world and within particular population groups, they reflect the international variation of social work theory and practice, as well ...

Consumer Psychology in a Social Media World seeks to illustrate the relevance of consumer psychology theory and research to understanding the social media world that has rapidly become a key component in the social and economic lives of most individuals. Despite the rapid and widespread adoption of social media by consumers, research focused on individuals’ use thereof and its implications for organizations and society has been limited and published in scattered outlets. This has made it difficult for those trying to get either a quick introduction or an in-depth understanding of the associated issues to locate relevant scientific-based information. The book is organized into five broad sections. The first presents a summary overview of social media, including a historical and cultural perspective. The second section is focused on social media as a modern form of word of mouth, always considered the most impactful on consumers. It also touches upon a motivational explanation for why social media has such a strong and broad appeal. Section three addresses the impact that consumers’ switch to social media as a preferred channel has had on marketers’ branding and promotional efforts, as well as the ways in which consumer involvement can be maintained through this ...

You will never look at social media the same way again. Social media are an integral part of contemporary society.

There remains a huge gulf in understanding by many leaders of what some are calling the Social Age – huge changes going on in society, enabling anyone with a smartphone to sign up to a social network and comment on anything and everything. Despite this revolution, which has been embraced by the masses, it is the people at the top of organizations who have been slowest to understand and adapt to it.While business leaders may feel that it’s enough to hire social media managers and amend their marketing strategies, Damian Corbet shows why organizations need to do more to succeed in the Social Age – why CEOs need to ‘get social’ to survive.The Social CEO sets out to educate and inspire senior leaders to embrace the Social Age, teaching them the hows and whys of utilising social media in order to make them stronger leaders. Social CEOs can effectively encourage engagement from their employees as well as other stakeholders and customers; they’re better able to communicate their organization’s objectives and values, gauge the climate in which they operate and improve their brand image.Offering invaluable contributions from industry-recognised experts in social business, The Social CEO explores the many aspects of leading ...

We are profoundly social creatures--more than we know. In Social, renowned psychologist Matthew Lieberman explores groundbreaking research in social neuroscience revealing that our need to connect with other people is even more fundamental, more basic, than our need for food or shelter. Because of this, our brain uses its spare time to learn about the social world--other people and our relation to them. It is believed that we must commit 10,000 hours to master a skill. According to Lieberman, each of us has spent 10,000 hours learning to make sense of people and groups by the time we are ten. Social argues that our need to reach out to and connect with others is a primary driver behind our behavior. We believe that pain and pleasure alone guide our actions. Yet, new research using fMRI--including a great deal of original research conducted by Lieberman and his UCLA lab--shows that our brains react to social pain and pleasure in much the same way as they do to physical pain and pleasure. Fortunately, the brain has evolved sophisticated mechanisms for securing our place in the social world. We have a unique ability to read other people’s minds, to figure out their hopes, ...

Sex is a theoretical puzzle because it is much older than we are. A primary fact of biology, sex has defined society from nearly the beginning of life on earth, and as a result we cannot see its effects in our lives in evolutionary comparisons with near primate or mammalian relatives. Sex is a puzzle, too, because it is often misconstrued in social science. It is not, as many social scientists believe, a mere feature of a person, like hair or skin color. Rather it is a part played in the life of the species. This propensity to view sex as a personal feature has kept social science from seeing how sex figures in the social life of the species.Male and Female in Social Life presents a theoretical framework to describe how sex (the division of our species between male and female) brings life and order to society. It argues that sex is the mainspring of social life and it tells us the most about social dynamics and forms. The book centers on five chapters that describe four "moments" of human social life. Following an introduction, chapter 2 begins with the first moment of social life-unity of the species. Chapter ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Based on sophisticated demographic analysis, Legal Construct, Social Concept argues that legal doctrine on social issues is shaped by the needs and values of society rather than by individuals and interest groups and that it evolves in response to social change but has little impact on that change. The book also explains why a substantial body of social science research has found that although law may be effective for some types of economic problems, its impact on social problems is generally small and of brief duration. At least in the United States, legal doctrine seems to operate primarily to provide symbols that enhance commitment to the social system and increase the cohesiveness of the system.Barnett''s approach to legal thought derives from the practices and assumptions of the social sciences, particularly sociology, and not from those of critical legal studies. His main concern is with social issues issues that substantively differ from economic issues. In addressing legal thought on social problems with the conceptual framework and quantitative techniques of macrosociology, he considers a topic that is infrequently investigated and employs an approach that is infrequently used.To illustrate this thesis, Barnett presents data on social patterns relevant to three current issues: sex ...

Social tourism is at a pivotal point. Over the past decade, there has been increased interest and research into social tourism issues, and as a result there is now much greater evidence on the important role that social tourism can play in providing significant benefits for the people supported through social tourism schemes. However, despite these advances and awareness of the benefits of tourism participation in most countries, there is still much confusion and ambiguity about the definition, role, and purpose of social tourism.This comprehensive volume reflects recent shifts in social tourism research by focusing on target groups and the benefits or constraints of these groups in holiday participation. The authors explore the diversity of issues, theories and social contexts that are relevant to social tourism research, offering a range of quantitative and qualitative methods and experimental designs as well as various policy and practice contexts to address policy issues. They also highlight opportunities for greater intensity of research on the importance of policy in advancing social tourism and to stress the fundamental role that social tourism can play in achieving strategic policy goals towards enhancing wellbeing, citizenship, and quality of life in the future.This book was originally published as ...

The social role of sport enterprises is being increasingly recognized at both local and global levels. Sport has the ability to influence community cohesion, physical and mental health, social inclusivity, and provides positive role models across society. More businesses in sport are incorporating these social aspects into their plans as a way of differentiating themselves from their competitors. This, in turn, has led to more social innovation in sport. Recently, there has been more emphasis on social entrepreneurship in sport due to the growing need to capture its societal impact. This book explores the non-profit role sport plays in society, and demonstrates how social enterprises can both address some of the negative social outcomes of sport and support businesses as they develop their social objectives. The over-arching aim of the book is to focus on how social entrepreneurship in sport is important in developing a better global society.
