La loro vita andava avanti seguendo il proprio corso, gli abitanti del kišlak2 erano preoccupati piuttosto dall’avvicinarsi del periodo della raccolta del cotone, nonché dalla mancanza di merci e dalla difficoltà di trovare i soldi per la stagione dei matrimoni, i quali vengono celebrati nel periodo che va dalla fine dei lavori agricoli estivi all’inizio di quelli au- tunnali. Il 31 agosto in Uzbekistan fu approvata la dichiarazione di indipendenza3, avveni- mento che, sebbene oggi venga celebrato annualmente con grande pompa, allora non fu neppure notato dalla maggior parte della società uzbeka, immersa nelle difficoltà e nelle gioie della vita quotidiana. * 9HUVLRQHLWDOLDQDGHOO·DUWLFROR©1DFLLLSRVWNRORQLDOL]PY&HQWUDO·QRM$]LLGYDGFDW·OHWVSXVWMDSHUHRVP\VOLYDMD kategorii analiza/praktiki», Ab Imperio, n. 3, 2011, pp. 193-210.

La fortuita coincidenza tra il mio viaggio di ricerca e il colpo di stato ha lasciato per sempre nella mia memoria una grande lacuna nell’esperienza della «rivoluzione democratica». Non ho sperimentato quelle impressioni e sensazioni che hanno invece provato molti miei colle- ghi e amici a Mosca. Ma allo stesso tempo questa combinazione mi ha dato la possibilità di guardare all’agosto del 1991 non dal punto di vista per me abituale, ma dalla prospettiva di quei cittadini e cittadine sovietici che vivevano nella provincia più estrema dell’URSS, i qua- li vedevano quanto stava accadendo in maniera diversa. Mi sono convinto che la disintegra- zione dell’URSS, come siamo soliti chiamarla, abbia avuto una storia, una valutazione e un’interpretazione diverse a seconda di chi guarda a questi avvenimenti. Va da sé che in- tendo qui la posizione politica e sociale che in quel momento occupava l’osservatore, si trattasse di un lavoratore del kolchoz, di un funzionario o di un insegnante di un istituto uni- YHUVLWDULR$TXHVWDSRVL]LRQHVLSRVVRQRDJJLXQJHUHDQFRUDODFROORFD]Lone culturale e, in una certa misura, l’ubicazione geografica (centro-periferia, e così via). Le interpretazioni so- no dipese da concezioni, aspettative, interessi e strategie formatesi attraverso la combina- zione di tutte queste posizioni, il che significa che se vogliamo capire quale sia stato il corso dei camBiamenti successivi alla disintegrazione dell’URSS, dobbiamo tener conto delle po- sizioni più diverse esistenti nell’URSS di allora e di quelle esistenti ancora oggi.

  • Apprentice Strikes in Twentieth Century UK Engineering and Shipbuilding*
    Apprentice strikes in twentieth century UK engineering and shipbuilding* Paul Ryan Management Centre King’s College London November 2004 * Earlier versions of this paper were presented to the International Conference on the European History of Vocational Education and Training, University of Florence, the ESRC Seminar on Historical Developments, Aims and Values of VET, University of Westminster, and the annual conference of the British Universities Industrial Relations Association. I would like to thank Alan McKinlay and David Lyddon for their generous assistance, and Lucy Delap, Alan MacFarlane, Brian Peat, David Raffe, Alistair Reid and Keith Snell for comments and suggestions; the Engineering Employers’ Federation and the Department of Education and Skills for access to unpublished information; the staff of the Modern Records Centre, Warwick, the Mitchell Library, Glasgow, the Caird Library, Greenwich, and the Public Record Office, Kew, for assistance with archive materials; and the Nuffield Foundation and King’s College, Cambridge for financial support. 2 Abstract Between 1910 and 1970, apprentices in the engineering and shipbuilding industries launched nine strike movements, concentrated in Scotland and Lancashire. On average, the disputes lasted for more than five weeks, drawing in more than 15,000 young people for nearly two weeks apiece. Although the disputes were in essence unofficial, they complemented sector-wide negotiations by union officials. Two interpretations are considered: a political-social-cultural one, emphasising political motivation and youth socialisation, and an economics-industrial relations one, emphasising collective action and conflicting economic interests. Both interpretations prove relevant, with qualified priority to the economics-IR one. The apprentices’ actions influenced economic outcomes, including pay structures and training incentives, and thereby contributed to the decline of apprenticeship.

  • Heroes of Peace Profiles of the Scottish Peace Campaigners Who Opposed the First World War
    Heroes of Peace Profiles of the Scottish peace campaigners who opposed the First World War a paper from the Introduction The coming year will see many attempts to interpret the First World War as a ‘just’ war with the emphasis on the heroic sacrifice of troops in the face of an evil enemy. No-one is questioning the bravery or the sacrifice although the introduction of conscription sixteen months after the start of the war meant that many of the men who fought did not do so from choice and once in the armed forces they had to obey orders or be shot. Even many of the volunteers in the early stages of the war signed up on the assumption that it would all be over in a few months with few casualties. We want to ensure that there is an alternative – and we believe more valid – interpretation of the events of a century ago made available to the public. This was a war in which around ten million young men were killed on the battlefield in four years, about 120,000 of them were Scottish. Proportionately Scotland suffered the highest number of war dead apart from Serbia and Turkey. It was described as the ‘war to end wars’ but instead it created the conditions for the rise of Hitler and the Second World War just twenty years later as a result of the very harsh terms imposed on Germany and the determination to humiliate the losing states. It also contributed to some of the current problems in the Middle East since, as part of the war settlement, Britain and France took ownership of large parts of the Ottoman Empire and divided up the territory with no reference to the identities and interests of the people.

Analysis of the pre-1989 situation Lithuanian sociologists, representatives of a small scientific community, have produced few analyses of the development of their discipline and of the strengths and weaknesses of results in its different branches. A small number of authors have contributed general overviews (Gaidys and Vosyliūtė, 1995; Gaidys, 1996) or have written on some aspects of sociological investigation (Rapoportas, 1997; Valantiejus, 1995; Kraniauskas, 2001). Lithuanian sociology’s pre-war history and its several phases in Soviet times have been described (Vosyliūtė, 1996, 1998, 2000). Sociology in the socialist period During the postwar period in Lithuania, Soviet Communist doctrine rejected the scientific heritage and traditions of social sciences of the inter-war period, which were publicly labeled “bourgeois science”.

Mining for gold, you get something pure: A magic potion of knowledge and passion, So potent, so liberating, so true You feel free to pursue and to ponder... Everyone here is an aspiring mage: Turning their future into a wonder. n the modern context, an alchemist has very little in common with a reclusive scientist who’s working in a shack somewhere and trying to turn lead into gold. Today’s alchemist is a modern man, a philosopher whose Iwork and ideas transcend his own era, and who sees and perceives the world from a much wider perspective. For such a person, even “gold” has a completely different meaning: instead of the pursuit of a noble metal or elixir for eternal physical life, it signifies enlightenment and attainment of useful nuggets of wisdom. Here, gold symbolizes the highest consciousness and an extremely perceptive mind. Where can one find such people today? Indubitably, at the university. Vytautas Magnus University is the magnet which attracts talented individuals from Lithuania and all over the world. Its geographical setting is no less special than its history or mission: Kaunas is the academic and cultural capital of Lithuania. Our location is not only a comfortable vantage point for observation of the world, but also a great launching pad for reaching it.

  • The Features of the History of Sociology in Lithuania
    ‘‘Social Transformations in Contemporary Society’’, 2013 (1) ISSN 2345-0126 (online) THE FEATURES OF THE HISTORY OF SOCIOLOGY IN LITHUANIA Aida Vaicekauskaite Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania Abstract The purpose – is to reveal the stages of the development of history of Lithuanian sociology and its specific features. Methodology. The article is based on the survey of sources analysing the history of sociology, paying special attention to manifestations of sociology in Lithuania during various periods of time. Findings. Sociology is one of the youngest academic disciplines established as a distinct field of study in Europe only in the 19th century. Three main fields of investigation can be distinguished in the history of Lithuanian sociology: the pre-war period, the soviet period and the post-soviet period. Each period is characterised by its peculiar opportunities for sociologists’ professional expression, challenges and achievements; as well as different topics and directions for sociological research. After the review of sources dealing with the history of sociology, it must be noted that there are three main stages of the development of sociology: (1) the period of 1960- 1970, characterised by work study; (2) since the 1970s the main attention has been paid to social planning; (3) the period starting from 1989 is distinguished for the beginning of public opinion poll. Research limitations/implications. This brief review of the history of sociology in Lithuania is rather fragmentary; a thorough analysis needs more time and more comprehensive studies. Practical implications. The importance of the study shows in the fact that the research of the history of Lithuanian sociology can be helpful in analysing the issues of sociological professionalism and identity.
