Responsabilidad social corporativa como forma de control político en proyectos mineros e hidroeléctricos de la Sierra Norte de Puebla
Authors: Manriquez-Bucio Yurixhi , Urquijo Torres Pedro Sergio
Published: September 2019

El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar las relaciones corporación-comunidad que llevaron al proceso de resistencia, que desde 2011 experimenta la Sierra Norte de Puebla debido al proyecto minero Ixtaca, en el municipio de Ixtacamaxtitlán, y al hidroeléctrico Puebla I, en el de San Felipe Tepatlán, que al principio contaron con la aceptación local. Mediante metodologías cualitativas, como la etnografía, la investigación documental y la reconstrucción cronológica de los conflictos, se encontró a opositores que no estaban articulados en los ámbitos local ni regional. Esto resulta de la práctica de la responsabilidad social corporativa, que invisibiliza relaciones de reciprocidad negativa y captura políticamente a las comunidades. Así, aunque la investigación se limita a una fase inicial, aporta evidencia empírica de los mecanismos locales de acumulación por desposesión, que caracterizan al neoextractivismo.

Interest in Islam and Cross Religions
Authors: Bin Armia Muhammad Syauqi
Published: September 2019

The Islamic principle encourages people to be alert for society. To achieve the objective of sharia, Muslim has been provided the clear path to collaborate with the creatures fairly.  The injustice financial practice one of the aspects that Islamic principles emphasise to not involve. On top of this, the usury (Riba) where someone charges the excess for the loan unfairly.

The interest practice has been a critical topic throughout the time. Due to the unfair practice, the major religions and civilisations cursed this practice as general. Nevertheless, in practical situations, there were numbers of approaches for each religion and civilisation. Plato with among ancient philosopher criticized this and argued this is a media to squeeze poor people. In Judaism, the interest is prohibited among Jews, while in the Hinduism allowed otherwise in a lower caste in the society. In Christianity, priests in the medieval banned this practice, but it has been diluted in the 6th century due to the sovereign pressure. Islam sprightly prohibited the interest despite the diversity of its models, the value, the grade and to whom it will be exercised. 

This article emphasises on Islamic finance point of view towards the cross religions and civilisation. Utilised the library/literature-based research, the author delivers the main ideas in the comparative approaches of the interest issues.

Experimento didático: uma pesquisa para investigar mudanças cognitivas no processo de modelagem matemática
Authors: Garcia Vera Clotilde , Menna Barreto Marina
Published: September 2019

Este artigo relata uma pesquisa seguindo a metodologia do “experimento didático”1, desenvolvida com estudantes adolescentes, da 2ª série do ensino médio, confrontados com  um conjunto de atividades cujo centro é o processo de modelagem de um fenômeno ligado ao tema da sexualidade e às questões da gravidez precoce: a absorção e eliminação de um anticoncepcional oral. O objetivo foi tentar compreender as mudanças que ocorrem nos esquemas dos estudantes quando utilizam matemática conhecida para interpretar e resolver problemas reais. Concluímos que  uma proposta didática que vincule o interesse pelo real com a matemática pode desenvolver mudanças cognitivas importantes, reorganizando esquemas insuficientes, atribuindo sentido à matemática e melhorando a percepção e a interpretação da realidade.  O ensino usual não abre caminhos para a aplicação da matemática nas outras ciências, pois tem seus fundamentos em condições aparentemente  absolutas e em concepções estáticas.
Drivers of Savings Account Ownership Status: A Cross-Sectional Analysis from Ghana
Authors: Yeboah Augustine Kwadwo
Published: September 2019

In view of the evidence that poor savings can inhibit investment decision by borrowers of surplus funds, and that countries with well-established and efficiently utilised financial services have considerably less poverty, the study examines factors influence saving account ownership in Ghana using econometric approach. We used empirical evidence with data sourced from informal market traders in selected major market centres in Ghana. Using probit regression analysis, the results suggest that financial educations, number of income-generating ventures engaged in by the market trader are major predictors of savings account ownership status. Other predictors include demographic characteristics such as gender, age, marital status and number of dependents. It is, therefore, recommended that banks and financial institutions should intensify financial education strategies to boost savings mobilization. Governmentâ€™s policy intervention should be directed towards informal sector enterprise development to the crowd in revenue in order to motivate decisions to save. Also, the National Board for Small Scale and informal Businesses in Ghana should intensify education on how to sustain diverse income generation ventures to fetch income from multiple sources in order to encourage behavioural intentions to save.

Authors: Samuel O Okafor , Joachim C Okafor
Published: September 2019

The present study is focused on the public perception of government approach to the environmental challenges in the region of Niger Delta and its implication to environmentally-related conflict resolution and inclusive society. Four states were randomly selected while eight local government areas, 24 communities and 500 respondents (18+) were randomly selected for data collection. Our evaluation and analysis were focused on the public perception of the government policy approach in resolving the environmentally-related conflict in the region, support to this approach and the likelihood of youth involvement in violent agitation in the region. From our data, we pinpointed and demonstrated the weaknesses and unpopular nature of the dominant policy approach in the region as well as the latent energy of environmental conflict in the region. For policy relevance of the study, we ran a statistical cross examination on prevailing sociological issues in the region relevant to sustainable environmental and conflict resolution policy in the region. Our study established some factors relevant to inclusive society policy in achieving sustainable peace in the region such as public perception of government approach to their environmental challenges, socially-inclusive mode of consultation, age etc. in view of the strength of our data, the findings and suggestion of the study will help the Nigerian government to the threshold of people oriented and sustainable policies in dealing with the ceaseless conflict agitations in the region. The study aims to contribute in the current social scientific literature, the point of individual involvement in environmental conflict in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.
South Africa Gender Based Violence and the Global Gendered Viewpoint Approach Mechanisms in Building a Peaceful World
Authors: Enaifoghe Andrew Osehi
Published: September 2019

This study looks at the prevalence of gender violence in South Africa particularly, and argues to support a gendered perspective as an approach with the inclusion of women in an effort to address or resolve violence against women. The UNSCR-1325 reaffirmed the significance of gender integration at all levels of peace and security agenda, the purpose underlined in the declaration shows a slow affirmation among international organisations. The effect of gender based brutality is a significant human rights infringement with real social and formative effects for overcoming viciousness. On an individual level, sexual based violence can lead to mental injury, and can have both psychological social and physical ramifications for survivors. Therefore, the argument set forward in support of a gendered viewpoint to deal with violence and peace-building originated from a classified arrangement of political characters, from a collection of controls, with various political sentimentalities and distinctive prescribed techniques for conflicts intervention. Furthermore, the global gendered perspective intervention is also assessed as a strategy by exploring various approaches to deal with global gender-based conflict. The approaches are considered instrumentalist in their various approaches, as they consider women to be instrumental in accomplishing a maintainable peace, but dismissing the issue of how peace can improve the situation of violence against women, and not taking into consideration the issues of gender based violence. This tremendously fails to discourse and address structural disparities and power crescendos or dynamics that underpinned gender discrimination. Findings in this study shows that, there is a need for gendered perspective to address violence and build peace in various civil societies, while taking into account the socio-economic effect of gender violence. Peace and Security plan is goal-oriented and transformative in its discourse. Therefore, it requires women's contribution to fight gender violence at all levels.

Justice in the Tea Estate Community in Sri Lanka: An Explanation through Freedom-based Capability Approach
Authors: Dishanka Sajitha , Ikemoto Yukio
Published: September 2019

Sustainability in economic development is fundamentally linked to human well-being which should be fairly reflected in freedom. This normative concern has been the thematic phenomenon in scholarly discussions advocated by many egalitarians. The well-being of tea estate community in Sri Lanka has been in various stakeholder discussions as their socio-economic freedom is exogenously determined and controlled. Ironically, this situation has evidenced a substantial adverse impact on their present work performance and future workforce participation symbolizing the labor problem within the tea estate community. Grounded on the theoretical foundation of Amartya Senâ€™s capability approach and, authorsâ€™ mixed method field surveys, this paper discusses the importance of enhancing justice within this community by improving their freedom to access better complex capabilities such as social status and independence. Although, the outcomes of the positivistic study provided with adequate evidence for the above claim, our qualitative inquiry confirmed and witnessed the aforementioned subjective reality.

Continental Migration Trends: Its Implications from an African Perspective
Authors: Mlambo Daniel N.
Published: September 2019

Migration is witnessed throughout the world, this is even true for a third world continent such as Africa, where individuals tend to move from one place to another propelled by diverse push and pull factors. This paper brings forward the degree of migration movements in Africa. Additionally, it seeks to understand the impact(s) of migration within the continent. It argues that migration in Africa is not a new phenomenon as it has been witnessed since colonialism often as a result of forced migration. However, post the colonial era, Africa has observed an upsurge of migration movements both documented and undocumented. This is manifested by the fact that Africa has remained an underdeveloped continent coupled with vast economic hindrances including unemployment, political instability, low growth rates, terrorism and corruption. In this vein, individuals move from place to place for better economic opportunities for themselves particularly to Western, Eastern and Southern African countries such as Nigeria, Ghana, Botswana, South Africa, Ivory Coast, Angola, Rwanda and Namibia. The paper concludes by outlining that if Africa is to limit and manage the evergrowing migration movements, then African heads of states should possibly improve their border patrol security, enhance rural agriculture and improve rural service delivery programmes. Moreover, to implement robust, well monitored and managed policies that intend to support and complement the policies of the African Union (AU), regional bodies and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGâ€™s) with regards to African migration.
Climate Change: Towards Compensating Africa for Economic Growth and Development by Industrialized Countries
Authors: Mahlatsi Monaheng
Published: September 2019

On one hand, anthropogenic climate change is real and affecting the world economy in general and Africa in particular. On the other hand, the policy of climate change adaptation as the solution to the problem of climate change is seriously unsuccessful in Africa. Even though climate change is affecting the whole world, Africa is the most vulnerable continent that is economically affected. This is due to a variety of interconnected consequences of climate change such as droughts, floods, desertification, diseases and poor agricultural system including other unknown factors. This article focuses on challenges facing the implementation of climate change adaptation policy in Africa. The implementation of the policy of mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions will not be discussed. The aim of the article is to investigate the underlying implications of climate change adaptation policy that hamper smooth growth and development of the African economy. To achieve this aim, the theoretical research method will be utilized. This article concludes that Africa cannot afford to adapt to climate change because of its extreme poverty and will remain economically poor and suffer the consequences of climate change if industrialized countries are reluctant to compensate it. Therefore, the article argues that industrialized countries have a moral duty to compensate Africa for the harm they have caused through industrialization. The compensation will boost the African economy that is necessary for climate change adaptation.
Exploring Gender Socialization on African Political System and Women's Participation
Authors: Enaifoghe Andrew
Published: September 2019

This study explored the role of gender plays and the participation impacts of women on African politics, the religion and socio-cultural factors responsible for the underrepresentation of women through socialization in Africa. Obviously, past research has demonstrated that fundamentalist religious beliefs and affiliations are related to preservationist gender demeanours or attitude. This idea not only impacts gender gaps in political participation in cross-national examinations by belligerence that women's portrayal ought to be measured in an unexpected way or differently. Utilizing Fundamentalism and Modernization Theories, this paper shows that long haul impacts of women's representation are more indispensable than short-term measures in understanding gender gap in a mixture of political exercises. The timeframe since women have accessed the political framework discloses the gender gap to a more noteworthy degree than the presence of women in the governing body and cabinet at one point in time. Findings demonstrate that the suppositions of earlier work on women representation and political conduct or attitude may stretch out beyond Africa it also finds that gender grouping has in many ways impacted the low participation of women in African political system through socialization. At last, this study shows that the kind of political exercises matter and the implementation of policies that encourage give women level play ground to participate in politics while breaking down the impact of gender socialization as of the factors for women's representation in legislative issues crosswise over Africa. A qualitative approach was used in this study alongside with empirical investigation.

On the style of the Bachkovo Ossuary frescoes
Authors: Oretskaia Irina
Published: September 2019

The article attempts to give a thorough description of the style of the
Bachkovo Ossuary frescoes and to draw analogies for their artistic manner
and single figures. They appear to reveal the closest similarity with some
miniatures found in Greek manuscripts of the late eleventh century. Several
common artistic methods were used in the Bachkovo frescoes and in the
monumental painting of that time as well. They also include some motifs,
which were well-known to artists of the second half of the twelfth century.
The style of the Ossuary frescoes has been correctly described as classical
in most of the pertinent studies. All the components of this style took
shape already in the late eleventh century; however, it is not impossible
that the frescoes were created later, in the twelfth century.
The staurotheke of the church of Sts. Peter and Paul in Ras, Serbia. A contribution to research
Authors: Popovic Danica
Published: September 2019

The subject of this paper is the staurotheke which is now kept in the
treasury of the Dominican monastery in Dubrovnik, Croatia. It originally
belonged to the church of Sts. Peter and Paul in Ras, Serbia, to which it
had been donated jointly by the Serbian King Stefan Uros II Milutin and
Bishop Gregory II of Raska (Rascia). The staurotheke in the shape of a
double-armed cross is engraved with illuminating donor inscriptions on the
front and back of the handle and a poetical epigram on the sides of the
cross. Based on the palaeographical features of the inscriptions and the
style of gold work, it has been established that the staurotheke was
thoroughly renovated in the mid-sixteenth century but that the content of
the inscriptions was faithfully copied from the original. The meaning and
function of the staurotheke are discussed in the broader context of the cult
of the True Cross in medieval Serbia.
Depictions of Christ’s ancestors in the altar of Markov Manastir. A contribution to research
Authors: Tomic-Djuric Marka
Published: September 2019

The paper discusses the figures on the bema of the altar apse in the Church
of St. Demetrios of Markov Manastir (Marko?s Monastery) painted in
1376/1377. It offers a more detailed overview of the programmatic and
iconographic characteristics of previously known depictions of the Virgin?s
ancestors and identifies the second ancestral couple. Following a
reexamination of hypotheses that have been suggested so far, the paper
concludes that the second pair of Old Testament personages should be
identified as representing the original ancestors of humanity - Adam and
Eve. The visual solution incorporating Sts. Joachim and Anne as well as Adam
and Eve is highly unusual. The paper also discusses the peculiar thematic
concept in the central apse of Markov Manastir, which was conceived so as to
draw attention of the faithful to the human nature of Christ, while the
choice of ancestors underlines the role of the Virgin?s parents in the
economy of salvation and emphasizes the theological idea of absolution from
ancestral sin and the rebirth of humanity beginning with the incarnation of
God-Man.
The painted program in the dome of the Church of St. George in Dobrilovina
Authors: Markovic Marijana , Stevanovic Bojana
Published: September 2019

The fairly well-preserved fresco paintings in the dome of the Church of St.
George at the Dobrilovina Monastery feature some rather unusual programmatic
and iconographical solutions. The depiction of the Presanctified Liturgy and
the figures of some Old Testament characters represented in the drum of the
dome have no known parallels in the dome programs of Post-Byzantine
monuments in the area of the Patriarchate of Pec. A troparion dedicated to
the patron saint of the church was inscribed in the ring of the dome, which
also bears evidence to the learnedness of the creator of this fresco
ensemble, an important source for the research of Serbian wall paintings
from the period after the restoration of the Patriarchate of Pec.
Workplace Mindfulness in Accounting Practice: Issues, Opportunities, and Challenges
Authors: Chang Yu-Tzu , Stone Dan N.
Published: September 2019

SYNOPSIS

Research suggests that individual, secular mindfulness can improve work outcomes, including reducing stress and increasing attention, wellness, and job performance. This paper discusses the construct and efficacy of mindfulness and explores opportunities for and challenges to integrating workplace mindfulness in professional accounting. Evidence from websites suggests that most large accounting firms promote workplace mindfulness to their clients and that some (e.g., EY and PWC) promote its practice among their accounting professionals. While a review of literature indicates support for some claimed benefits, workplace mindfulness is no panacea. Challenges to workplace mindfulness include the unwillingness of some accounting professionals to practice mindfulness and that some claimed benefits, e.g., improved leadership and teamwork, are not well-supported by research. The paper concludes by proposing a set of workplace mindfulness issues and practice opportunities and discussing impediments to and the limits of mindfulness in professional accounting.

CEO Behavioral Integrity, Auditor Responses, and Firm Outcomes
Authors: Dikolli Shane S. , Keusch Thomas , Mayew William J. , Steffen Thomas D.
Published: September 2019

We investigate the audit fee response to CEO behavioral integrity (BI). BI refers to the perceived congruence between an individual's words and deeds (Simons 2002). Because low word-deed congruence should result in more explanations when communicating, we use variation in explanations beyond firm fundamentals and CEO-specific characteristics in more than 30,000 shareholder letters to serve as a linguistic-based proxy for CEO BI. We find that audit fees increase as BI decreases, but BI is not associated with financial misstatement or litigation. These findings are potentially consistent with auditors undertaking additional work in response to low BI, which, in turn, mitigates the risk of restatements and lawsuits. The likelihood of option backdating increases as BI decreases, consistent with the contention that auditors lacked incentives to prevent backdating. Finally, BI is increasing in future performance, which suggests that CEOs partially underpin the returns to high-integrity corporate cultures.

East, West, Home's Best: Do Local CEOs Behave Less Myopically?
Authors: Lai Shufang , Li Zengquan , Yang Yong George
Published: September 2019

We test whether CEOs working near their childhood homes are less likely than nonlocal CEOs to make myopic decisions. Place attachment theories suggest that people develop mutual caretaking relationships with their birthplaces. Also, executive labor markets face less information asymmetry about local CEOs, resulting in lower pressure on local CEOs for quick profits. Consistent with the prediction, we find that local CEOs are less likely to cut R&D expenditures for beating analyst forecasts or avoiding earnings decreases. In their last year of office, local CEOs are significantly less likely to cut R&D than nonlocal CEOs. The CEO locality effect is stronger when more local business interests are embedded in the firm and when the residents of the CEO's birth state have stronger local social bonds. Local CEOs' longer horizons are consistently manifested in their other decisions, such as paying more state tax and being more socially responsible in business operation.

Deflasi Semantis dalam Pertukaran antara Bahasa Inggris dan Bahasa Indonesia
Authors: Adipurwawidjana Ari J.
Published: September 2019

Penggunaan unsur-unsur bahasa Inggris dalam wacana Indonesia kontemporer semakin menjadi lazim dan meresap dalam berbagai konteks mulai dari percakapan sehari-hari, forum akademik, hingga media massa baik dalam bentuk ujaran lisan maupun teks tertulis. Perjumpaan antara bahasa Inggris dan bahasa Indonesia sama sekali bukan fenomena baru. Tiga periode pertukaran interlinguistik antara kedua bahasa dapat diidentifikasi sebelum periode yang sedang berlangsung kini, mulai dari (1) pertukaran tidak langsung melalui bahasa lain, (2) pertukaran langsung terdokumentasi sejak awal abad ke-19 yang bertepatan dengan kehadiran Imperium Britania di Asia Tenggara yang memfasilitasi dimasukannya sejumlah besar kata-kata Melayu ke dalam kosakata bahasa Inggris, dan (3) periode pasca-Perang Dunia II saat Indonesia menjadi lebih terlibat dalam ekonomi global yang berkontribusi pada penyebaran praktik budaya (Adipurwawidjana, 2013). Namun, walaupun dalam pertukaran semacam itu pergeseran dan modifikasi pada berbagai tingkat linguistik tidak dapat dihindari, arus lintas budaya yang melimpah saat ini tampaknya tidak memberikan kesempatan bagi unsur-unsur bahasa yang dipinjam untuk beradaptasi dengan struktur bahasa Indonesia sebagai bahasa peminjam, yang mengakibatkan penggunaan nahasa Inggris yang sepotong-sepotong dan terfragmentasi dalam penggunaan bahasa Indonesia secara umum. Hal ini merupakan gejala yang disebut  Halpern (2001, 2008) sebagai "deflasi semantik," sebuah gejalan yang mengurangi nilai dan bobot semantik karena penggunaan bahasa di tingkat permukaan belaka tidak memberikan ruang yang cukup untuk penyerapannya. Melihat ujaran sehari-hari dan teks-teks yang hadir di ruang publik, tulisan ini akan menunjukkan terjadinya deflasi semantik atas kata dan frasa yang dipinjam bahasa Inggris dalam wacana Indonesia kontemporer, termasuk degradasi elemen eufemistik dan disfemistik, penggunaan yang tidak idiomatis, dan formasi kata non-standar.
The Method of Predicting the Extent of Changes in the Performance Characteristics of Residential Buildings
Authors: Nowogońska B.
Published: September 2019

Accordingly to recommendations set out by standards, degradation curves which will serve as a tool facilitating decision-making regarding renovation works ought to be developed. The article presents the proposal of a model for predicting the aging of a residential building. The proposed PRRD (Prediction of Reliability According to Rayleigh Distribution) model determines the performance characteristics of a building over the full period of its use. PRRD accounts for the life spans of individual building components. Additionally introduced in the model were supplements accounting for the intensity of changes in the building and its surroundings. The developed method of the non-linear degradation process of a building accounts for the role and weights of individual building components as well as the intensity of significant factors influencing the aging process. The presented methodology of the description of changes in the performance characteristics over the course of using a building will be a diagnostic process of predicting the technical state of a building. The proposed predictions can serve as the basis for making the right strategic decisions when planning renovation works in residential buildings.
Original Model for Estimating the Whole Life Costs of Buildings and its Verification
Authors: Plebankiewicz E. , Zima K. , Wieczorek D.
Published: September 2019

The model for estimating the whole life costs of the building life cycle that allows the quantification of the risk addition lets the investor to compare buildings at the initial stage of planning a construction project in terms of the following economic criteria: life cycle costs (LCC), whole life costs (WLC), life cycle equivalent annual costs (LCEAC) and cost addition for risk (ΔRLCC). The subsequent stages of the model development have been described in numerous publications of the authors, while the aim of this paper is to check the accuracy of the model in the case of changing the parameters that may affect the results of calculations. The scope of the study includes: comparison of the results generated by the model with the solutions obtained in the life cycle net present value method (LCNPV) for time and financial input data, not burdened with the risk effect; the analysis of the variability of results due to changes in input data; analysis of the variability of results as a consequence of changing the sets of membership functions for input data and methods for defuzzification the result.
Making Unaffordable to Affordable: Looking into Affordable Housing Issues and Its Remedies
Authors: Ahsan Muhammad
Published: September 2019

Affordable Housing is a critical issue in many developing countries that impacts their potential for sustainability and socio-economic development. Lack of affordable housing, slower growth of housing stock, and aging housing conflates numerous other problems in Pakistan, including overcrowding, poor indoor air quality, prevalence of preventable diseases, and development of slums and katchi abadies, etc. These challenges lessen living standards in many areas. Unaffordable housing forces low income families in urban areas to live in dilapidated areas. An increase in the construction of affordable housing is needed to mitigate housing affordability challenges in Pakistan. Setting aside land quotas for low-income families in housing development schemes is not sufficient because the households still lack the means to construct housing. This paper attempts to identify the causes of unaffordable housing and solutions for its provision.

A Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988, instrumento legislativo de maior relevância no nosso ordenamento, institui direitos fundamentais para todos os indivíduos em três níveis: o nacional, estadual e municipal. O presente trabalho busca examinar as Leis Orgânicas Municipais (as Cartas locais responsáveis por organizar a cidade e instituir direitos fundamentais) de Santa Fé do Sul, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e Nova Iguaçu com a fundamentação teórica fixada na teoria de justiça de John Rawls com o propósito de analisar como se comportam na proteção formal dos menos favorecidos. O objetivo geral do trabalho é averiguar o tratamento dado pelas cidades para os menos favorecidos, ao passo que o objetivo específico é analisar as Leis Orgânicas Municipais das quatro localidades segundo o Índice Rawlsiano de Equidade. Sendo assim, a pesquisa apresenta a forma como as cidades tratam de modo quantitativo-qualitativo, por meio do método de subsistemas comparados e utilizando-se do Índice Rawlsiano de Equidade, extraindo e analisando as tutelas destinadas é  proteção desses grupos de indiví­duos, entendendo que as leis locais poderão oferecer um grau de compreensão de como o problema da injustiça é internalizado pelas cidades. Os resultados gerais, ou seja, quantitativos e qualitativos, aparecem de maneira discrepante, com Rio de Janeiro apresentando melhor tutela, seguida do São Paulo, Nova Iguaçu e Santa Fé do Sul. Conclui-se que os Municípios não atendam de maneira uniforme e satisfatória às necessidades protetivas, possuindo baixo grau na tutela e consagração dos direitos.

Published: September 2019

Актуальність теми дослідження. Культурні концепти ґендер і стать, залишаючись домінантними у феміністичних студіях, здійснили суттєвий вплив на дослідження соціальних практик.
Постановка проблеми. Смислове наповнення понять «ґендер» і «стать» ґрунтується на підході соціального конструктивізму, в основі якого лежить твердження про опосередкований вплив біологічних статевих відмінностей на соціальний статус та соціальну детермінацію біологічної інтрпретації. Аналіз останніх досліджень і публікацій. Роботи таких вітчизняних і зарубіжних вчених,
як О.Афанасьєва, М. Богачевська, Н. Зборовська,Г. Храброва, С. .д’Бовуар, Маєрчик, М. С. Окін,
Л. Стоун, присвячені дослідженням культурних концептів ґендеру і статі. Виділення недосліджених частин загальної проблеми. Здійснено спробу дослідити аксіологічну та символічну структуру феміністичного дискурсу шляхом аналізу змісту його ключових концептів. Постановка завдання. Метою статті є аналіз конотації концептів ґендеру і статі у фокусі феміністичних студій, які артикулюють відмінності «чоловічого» і «жіночого», рівність можливостей чоловіків і жінок, висвітлюють роль соціальних інститутів у формуванні ґендерної ідентичності. Виклад основного матеріалу. Феміністична критика надає характеристику ролі чоловіка і жінки в культурі, прагне створити картину соціальної дійсності, інтерпретуючи її найважливіші параметри: «стать», «гендер», «тіло», «маскулінне», «фемінне». Вихідним положенням фемінізму стає твердження про зануреність людини у світ культури і соціальних відносин, а відтак – потребу деконструкції класичної дихотомічної концептуально моделі, в яких «чоловіче» і «жіноче» мають конотації вище-нижче, надійне-непередбачуване, сильнеслабке, активне-пасивне, культура-природа. Висновки. Аналіз концептосфери понять ґендеру та статі в феміністських студіях надає широкі можливості для конструювання картини соціальної дійсності та переосмислення культури.
