Todor Proykov, June 6, 2008 Abstract The current study explores the emerging child maltreatment discourses in the Bulgarian public domain and demonstrates how these discourses have evolved, how they relate to certain social practices and how they maintain certain power relations. To achieve this goal, a sample of newspaper articles covering child maltreatment occurrences are studied, using discourse analysis. In addition to those, folklore, literary and autobiographical resources are examined to trace back the origins of the child maltreatment discourses and the overall social construction of `childhood' and `parenting' in Bulgaria. Furthermore, interview fragments with parents and literature resources are used to support and expand the argument. It is claimed that a number of rooted into the culture and maintained by certain institutions discourses pre-determine how the notion of child maltreatment is con- structed in Bulgaria, singling out certain aspects of child maltreatment as dominant and `silencing' others. Three main discourses of public constructing and speaking of child maltreatment are defined: familial, medical and racist discourses. Those are explored in detail in terms of their origins and pragmatic impact on practice and parallels are drawn to similar discourses in the UK context. It is claimed that the way in which the concept of the `child maltreatment family' is constructed, contributes to fundamental premises laying the grounds of the way that child protection practice is designed and to some pitfalls to that design. Chapter 1 examines the research interest of the author and the initial steps in the research design|the research aims and the research questions are explored. Chapter 2 expands on the design of the study, examining the theoretical and methodological background of of the current endeavour|social constructionism| and discourse analysis is discussed and considered as a research method of choice. A range of methodological decisions are laid out and justified, including the ones related to the research ethics, the data sampling process and the validity of the current study. Initial appraisal of the data sets collected is provided. Chapter 3 represents a self-contained genealogical exploration into the occur- rences and fragmentations of the Bulgarian childhood and parenting discourses, focusing on particular sets of literary, folklore and autobiographical documents. As- pects of these discourses on parenting and childhood are compared historically to similar discourses from other countries and cultures. Chapter 4 is dedicated to the sample texts' discourse analysis per s´e. A de- tailed account is given to examining the mass-media materials closely and eliciting a number of elements, organised around three distinctive dominant discourses: the familial, the racist and the medical. It is claimed that these three discourses organise the public speaking and the construction of the child abuse narratives. Chapter 5 pulls together the findings from the study of the media stories and the historical/literary documents and expands the argument further, providing also illustrations form a number of research interviews. The three defined as above discourses are explored further. Chapter 6 summarises the key findings and draws conclusions based on them, and gives the author's perspective about their implication for the child protection practice. Further areas of study are suggested and some limitation of the discourse analysis / social constructionist approach are described. 2 Contents Definitions 8 1 Introduction and Research Questions 10 1.1 Research Interest Source and Research Values . 13 1.2 The Research Goal . 18 1.3 The Research Questions . 20 1.4 Research Tasks . 21 2 Theoretical Framework and Methodology 23 2.1 The Social Constructionist Approach . 23 2.2 The Research Data Pools . 30 2.2.1 What is the public/media discourse of child maltreatment and how is it constructed? ...................... 30 2.2.2 How has the child maltreatment discourse emerged and what is its internal structure; what is its relation to other processes in Bulgarian culture and history? ................ 31 2.2.3 What is its fragmentation and what are the unspoken|silenced| aspects of that discourse? .................... 32 2.2.4 What is the link between the child maltreatment discourse as it emerges in Bulgaria and the historical evidence of this process in other countries|particularly the UK? ........... 32 2.2.5 How do the family narratives relate to the public/media dis- course on child maltreatment? ................. 33 2.3 Data Sampling . 35 1 2.3.1 Newspaper articles . 35 2.3.2 Historical, folklore, literature and biography accounts . 36 2.3.3 Parental interviews . 37 2.4 Description of the Data Samples collected . 37 2.4.1 Newspaper articles covering child maltreatment ........ 37 2.4.2 Parental interviews . 38 2.4.3 Historical and literary documents . 41 2.5 The Methods of Data Analysis . 41 2.5.1 Structuralism.

  • Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a Case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian Group in Toronto
    Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a Case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian Group in Toronto By Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Trinity College and the Theological Department of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael's College © Copyright by Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar 2016 Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian group in Toronto PhD 2016 Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar University of St.Michael’s College Abstract This study explores how the Macedono-Bulgarian and Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox churches in Toronto have attuned themselves to the immigrant community—specifically to post-1990 immigrants who, while unchurched and predominantly secular, have revived diaspora churches. This paradox raises questions about the ways that religious institutions operate in diaspora, distinct from their operations in the country of origin. This study proposes and develops the concept “institutional vernacularization” as an analytical category that facilitates assessment of how a religious institution relates to communal factors. I propose this as an alternative to secularization, which inadequately captures the diaspora dynamics. While continuing to adhere to their creeds and confessional symbols, diaspora churches shifted focus to communal agency and produced new collective and “popular” values. The community is not only a passive recipient of the spiritual gifts but is also a partner, who suggests new forms of interaction. In this sense, the diaspora church is engaged in vernacular discourse. The notion of institutional vernacularization is tested against the empirical results of field work in four Greater Toronto Area churches.

    12th Grade English Worksheet Bundle: Volume Two Printable English worksheets from Edmentum's Study Island. Grade 12 English: Objective Summary The Red Planet's Rocky History 1 We've all heard that the Earth could be in big trouble if global temperatures rise by even a few degrees Celsius. A couple of degrees, scientists say, could cause widespread havoc as the oceans rise, covering inhabited areas, and plants and animals would struggle to survive. Now multiply such chaos a million times, and you might get an idea of what the planet Mars has likely gone through. 2 The red planet is lined with deep channels that must have formed when great masses of water passed through. The plains area in the north of the planet shows evidence that oceans once existed there. There is also a web of valleys across the Martian surface. All of this indicates a mild, moist climate that may even have supported life. Yet today, we know that Mars is a bitterly cold, bone-dry environment, inhospitable to life. At its equator, daily average temperatures hover around 60 degrees Celsius below zero (or about negative 81 degrees Fahrenheit). Though water has been detected along the edges of impact craters, Mars is still a bleakly cold and desolate place. Billions of years ago, however, the planet must have been far warmer and more welcoming. 3 What happened between then and now is a mystery to scientists. However, by studying Martian meteorites that have been found on Earth, they are beginning to find answers. One technique being used is to progressively heat the meteorites (to as high as 1200 degrees Celsius).

  • An Abstract of the Dissertation for the Degree of Philosophy in the School of Library and Information Management
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION FOR THE DEGREE OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE SCHOOL OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT Rebecca Leigh Miller Banner (Name of Student) presented on ____________________April 17, 2008________________________ Title: The Intercultural Transfer of Professional Knowledge in International Partnerships: A Case Study of the American Bulgarian Library Exchange Abstract approved: _______________________________________________________ (Chair) International partnerships between libraries are an oft-used approach to transferring professional knowledge across national borders, with the intent of developing the profession in both nations. Unfortunately, such partnerships are routinely unsuccessful. An assumption exists in the library and information science profession that international partnerships are a good mechanism for developing libraries worldwide, without a full understanding of how they work and how they could be improved. Very little empirical research has been conducted on the nature of such partnerships; the processes of knowledge transfer that go on within them; and the factors that affect the partnerships and ultimately the knowledge transfer. The purpose of this dissertation research was to examine one international partnership for the factors and processes that establish and sustain a communicative environment enabling the successful transfer of professional knowledge. Given that international partnerships rely on interpersonal communication to transfer knowledge, the diffusion of innovations theory was an appropriate guide to this research. The Katz, Levin and Hamilton (1963) seven-element model provided a detailed framework for the data collection, analysis and interpretation of findings. Using a case study design set in a naturalistic inquiry approach, the experiences of members in a group of international partnerships were explored. The study participants were the members of the American Bulgarian Library Exchange (ABLE), an international partnership project.

The ones amongst us who have already organized Annual Meetings and Conferences in the past, are very aware of the work load that is required for their successful completion. Their contribution is highly acknowl- edged and appreciated.
