After briefly summarizing the pre World-War II developments, a discussion of the separation of sociology from historical materialism is presented, followed by a survey of developments in sociological theory, industrial sociology, rural sociology, sociology of class and stratification, general sociology, and the international co-operation of the Yugoslav sociologists. In order to illustrate the degree of development of the empirical approach, tables from contemporary research projects in Yugoslavia are presented. A comprehensive, translated bibliography arranged by the subject matter is attached. It is the first such bibliography to be ever compiled either in English or in Yugoslavian. Basically this thesis is a survey rather than an in-depth study of sociology in the post-World War II period in Yugoslavia, - Ill- Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

PREFACE What follows derives from the author's intensive interest and partial research in the development of con­ temporary sociology in Yugoslavia, During the first contact with the sociological material received from Yugoslavia it has been observed that there is a "new phase" in the development of sociology there. And yet, no study of this development has been undertaken on this continent even though Western sociologists are aware that their colleagues in East European countries are making a notable progress (Cf. T. Parsons, The American Sociologist. No. 5, November 1966, p. 239). This study presents (1) a general review of socio­ logical issues and areas of specialization in the period following the Second World War, and (2) a comprehensive trans­ lated bibliography of post-war sociological writings arranged according to the subject matter. It is the first such bibli­ ography ever presented in the English language. I should like to take this opportunity to express my unceasing gratitude to my Director Dr. Wsevolod Isajiw for his helpful advise and his long hours spent carefully reading and correcting this thesis. I thank also Dr. Vincent C. Chrypinski and professor Donald Stewart for their patient reading of this thesis. Most of all I thank my wife for her patience and understanding. - iv- Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION It is difficult to understand the development of sociology in Yugoslavia without understanding some political events which Yugoslavia has experienced in the post-War II period. It appears that the development of sociology in Yugoslavia has been encouraged by these events, or at least these events were so drastic that their impact was also re­ flected in sociology. There is no doubt that the Soviet-Yugoslav break in 1948 has promoted Yugoslavia's "self-road to socialism" not only in politics, economy, social life, but in the academic world as well. After all, it is the Yugoslav Government which through a policy of self determination and its own interpre­ tation and evaluation of Marxism and Leninism has opened the door

  • Short Remarks About Certain Structural Problems Of
    NIKOLAY MITROKHIN. SHORT REMARKS ABOUT CERTAIN STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS... 211 HORT REMARKS ABOUT CERTAIN S STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS OF CONTEMPORARY RUSSIAN SOCIOLOGY Nikolay Mitrokhin © Laboratorium. 1: 211–215 2009. No. © 1. Michael Burawoy distinguishes between professional, critical, policy, and public sociology, based on the main tasks and publics of sociological knowledge. Is this typology helpful in understanding the current state of Russian sociology? How are these four types correlated in Russia? I concur with the South African sociologists whom Michael Burawoy cites as disagreeing with him. The South African and US models are not really contradictory. Sociology is a public science which, like any science, is based on a critical assessment of data. There is no doubt that it exerts an influence on society, but it must be practiced by professionals. Amateurism in science is a possibility, but it senselessly squanders public and individual capital. The social sciences can, of course, be used to change society, and it would be odd to argue that they (and, in particular, sociology) are not intended to do so by the very fact of their existence. The social sciences are inherently critical, and the subjects of their research may be more or less sensitive to critique. The existence of policy-oriented social studies is equally indisputable. Yet for broad reaches of social research, the definitions given are vague. A study on the distribution of refrigerators among a certain social group may be of interest to a company that manufactures refrigerators as well as to people who attempt to describe that group as a social phenomenon, past or present.

  • Sociology, Work and Industry/Tony J
    Sociology,Work and Industry This popular text explains and justifies the use of sociological imagi- nation to understand the nature of institutions of work, occupations, organisations, management and employment and how they are changing in the twenty-first century. With outstanding breadth of coverage it provides an authoritative overview of both traditional and emergent themes in the sociological study of work; explains the basic logic of sociological analysis of work and work-related institutions; and provides an appreciation of different theoretical traditions. It fully considers: • the direction and implications of trends in technological change, globalisation, labour markets, work organisation, managerial practices and employment relations; • the extent to which these trends are intimately related to changing patterns of inequality in modern societies and to the changing experiences of individuals and families; • the ways in which workers challenge, resist and make their own contributions to the patterning of work and shaping of work institutions. New features include an easy-to-read, fully signposted layout, key issue questions, snapshot case studies, chapter summaries and a companion website which contains useful resources (for students and teachers). All of these elements – and much more – provide you with a text unrivalled in the field. Tony J.

Kalleberg University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill The growth of precarious work since the 1970s has emerged as a core contemporary concern within politics, in the media, and among researchers. Uncertain and unpredictable work contrasts with the relative security that characterized the three decades following World War II. Precarious work constitutes a global challenge that has a wide range of consequences cutting across many areas of concern to sociologists. Hence, it is increasingly important to understand the new workplace arrangements that generate precarious work and worker insecurity. A focus on employment relations forms the foundation of theories of the institutions and structures that generate precarious work and the cultural and individual factors that influence people’s responses to uncertainty. Sociologists are well-positioned to explain, offer insight, and provide input into public policy about such changes and the state of contemporary employment relations.

  • Performing Individualism. Two Tendencies Dismantling War Imagery in Croatian and Serbian Historical Novels of the 1960S
    SEEU Review Volume 14 Issue 2 DOI: 10.2478/seeur-2019-0016 PERFORMING INDIVIDUALISM. TWO TENDENCIES DISMANTLING WAR IMAGERY IN CROATIAN AND SERBIAN HISTORICAL NOVELS OF THE 1960S (KRSTO ŠPOLJAR, RANKO MARINKOVIĆ AND MATE RAOS, RADOMIR SMILJANIĆ) Maciej Czerwiński Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Instytut Filologii Słowiańskiej UJ ul. Ingardena 3, 30-060 Kraków [email protected] ABSTRACT The article aims at addressing the question of representations of World War Two in Croatian and Serbian literature that were subversive in the sense that they queried the legend not simply by rejecting communism and affirming nationalism, but by emphasizing the uncertainty and sensibility of the human beings, a typical modern reaction to violence and, in general, modernist topoi. In this article I will focus on modernist novelistic representations of the 1960s in which the uncertainty and instability of collective warrants are foregrounded. As a result a subversive meaning is produced which contradicts not only communism and revolution but more generally war as such, including the universal features of war such as confronting loneliness, love as an expression of an individual rather than a collective sense of existence, and the impossibility of a valid representation of past events. Key words: war literature, fiction, Croatian literature, Serbian literature, Yugoslav memory, modern novel 2 SEEU Review Volume 14 Issue 2 INTRODUCTION When speaking about World War Two and its representations in the literatures of Yugoslavia, one gets the immediate impression that the topic of the discussion would be the People’s Liberation Movement, Josip Broz Tito, the partisans, fascists, Germans and Italians, the Ustashas, Chetniks, black-and-white visions, total heroes and total enemies, great battles and the consummate victory of the revolution.

  • Borislav Mikulić
    Poietic Notion of Practice and Its Cultural Context Praxis Philosophy in the Political, Theoretical and Artistic Turmoils in the 1960s1 221 Borislav MIKULIĆ Abstract: The aim of this essay is to present the philosophy of praxis as a theoretical medium which embodies the aspects of the high and popular cul- ture in the 1960s in Croatia and former Yugoslavia. The first part deals with the topic of the lack of references to praxis in the recent contribution to the ethnography of socialism and cultural studies as a symptom of scientific reduc- tionism; in the second part some arguments are presented for the relevance of philosophy in general and praxis in particular, as a (meta-)cultural form. The third part presents and comments the conflict regarding the theory of reflection, which has marked the thinking in different theoretical fields in the 1950s, and which became the foundational event for the praxis itself. The author is trying to provide a philosophically immanent political interpretation of the paradox that the philosophical/theoretical criticism of Stalinism leads philosophy to a direct conflict with the political apparatus in power which has itself carried out the same critique during dramatic political process in 1948. In the final part, the text points out, on the one hand, to the philosophical theorem of sponta- neity in art as a fundament of the praxis concept of autonomy of the subject, and on the other, to the striking lack of references, within the mainstream of praxis, to the avant-garde political conception of art of the EXAT 51 group from early 1950s; the text outlines the reasons for interpretation of this meta- theory of art as a political anticipation of praxis.
