Legal norms in the context of sociocultural transformations: philosophical-culturological analysis
// Sociodynamics.
2019. ¹ 12.
P. 1-8.
DOI: 10.25136/2409-7144.2019.12.31035 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=31035
Abstract:
The goal of this work is the analysis of interaction between the key forms of existence of social and legal norms. The subject of this research is the dynamics of development of the legal norms depending on the frames of sociocultural context, reflecting in public consciousness the priority of irrational (myth) and rational (logos) spatio-temporal perceptions. In such context, myth and logos are viewed as the fundamentally different methods of storage and transmission of the socially important information, which allow forming worldview frames of the rational and irrational mindsets. Methodology is based in the cultural-philosophical analysis for comparing the two main types of legal consciousness, law enforcement and lawmaking. In the course of juxtaposing the modern forms of “mythological” (customary law) and “rational” (positive law) levels of the existence of law, the author determines the peculiarities of their interaction using the example of the phenomenon of “archaization of law”; as well as demonstrates the boundaries of this phenomenon in the context of modern sociocultural transformations. The results of the conducted research became the conclusions important for specification of boundaries of the permissible interpretations in situation when the norms of customary law collide with the norms of positive law. In such case, the law enforcement practices face a dilemma: whether the reference to a custom in case of unlawful actions is a mitigating factor or aggravating factor. The scientific novelty consists in establishing worldview framework of “archaization of law”, and determining correlation of this question with the philosophical problem of the universal, peculiar and singular (and thus, with the concept of “international law”). The author substantiates the conclusion on the dual character of alignment of the values of positive law with the custom and tradition.

DOI: 10.25136/2409-7144.2019.12.31575 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=31575
Abstract:
This article explores separate elements of the socioeconomic environment exerting influence upon the reproductive plans of women of various generations. The goal of this article is to determine the factors contributing to or impeding the realization of the reproductive plans of women and the variability of this influence. The generation of indigenous minorities born in the 1990’s, and now reaching the childbearing age demonstrate visible changes in the reproductive plans of the population of the northern region, which was formerly known for its high birth rate. A direct correlation is determined between the model of the parental family and plans for childbirth in the families of respondents. The information base consists of materials from the socio-demographic polling conducted through questionnaires from thirteen administrative districts of Yakutia during 2017-2018 (n = 833). It is established that the decision-making for having a child is greatly influenced by financial situation, and that living conditions along with uncertainty of tomorrow and state of health impact the reproductive plans of urban women more than rural women. The results of this research allow concluding that the place of residents of the respondents is a socioeconomic element of its own, exerting substantial influence upon the reproductive plans of the generations, which underlines the importance of consideration of this factor in development of measures of birth support on the state level.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the peculiarities of moral-historical discourse and its role in achieving social harmony. Leaning on the Russian and foreign works dedicated to the problem of the moral assessment of history, as well as the writings of Habermas and Luhmann, the author analyzes the specificity of the modern moral-historical discourse in the context of symbolic politics. The application of praxeological approach towards the values of historical consciousness allows conducting comparative analysis of the place and role of moral interpretation of the past within the scientific-historical, socio-publicist, socio-political, cultural and educational discourses. The novelty of this study lies in the socio-philosophical analysis of the role of moral-historical discourse as a factor of achieving social harmony. It is determined that the moral-historical discourse is an important condition in the process of achieving social harmony and is not reduced only to the ethical questions of historical science. In this case, social harmony manifests as a product of symbolic politics implemented by various actors within the framework of social discourses.

DOI: 10.25136/2409-7144.2019.12.31759 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=31759
Abstract:
A trend away from the traditional media and fall of the era of television augments power of the Internet as a factor of sociopolitical communication. The subject of this article is the selective moderation in the ideologized and institutional virtual communities of the social network “Vkontakte”. Special attention is given to the question of which of the two ideal types – “public sphere” or “echo-chamber” communication in the Russian social networks suits the most. The object of this study is the virtual public sphere. The authors examine such aspects as the conceptualization of public sphere, categories of counter-public spheres, echo-chambers and “safe spots”. The field experiment carried out in 115 virtual communities became the main method for this research. Supplementary became the methods of observation, discourse analysis and network, which allowed conducting classification of the selected resources. The scientific novelty consists in the description of specificity of moderation of virtual communities in accordance with the criteria of prevalent ideological discourse. The conclusion is made that the communication platform of the politicized communities in the social network “Vkontakte” is being moderated; however, in majority of case, such moderation does not imply total exclusion of the critically-oriented users from the discussion. At the same time, the selectiveness of moderation is evident, since blocking of critics is more noticeable than blocking of adepts of the communities.

DOI: 10.25136/2409-7144.2019.12.31800 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=31800
Abstract:
This article examines the situation with career orientation of youth from the two perspectives: 1) as a school activity on professional orientation of students; 2) as a stage of professional self-realization of youth that starts massively in high school. Further formation of the occupational trajectories of youth is traced in the questionnaire-based survey carried out among senior students. The goal of this work lies in analysis of the factors affecting the processes of professional self-identification of school students, as well as their professional sustainability. The job market situation is viewed as an essential regulator of professional sustainability of graduates of the system of vocational education. The scientific novelty consists in the fat that the occupational orientations of youth were compared to requests of the economy with regards to development of high-tech industries. In terms of the relatively good assessment by high schoolers of vocational guidance at school, the author underlines its low effect on the choice of profession. At the same time, wide proliferation receives the postponed choice of profession (the amount of undecideds raised up to 50%). An opinion is substantiated that the determination of interests of school students when it comes to career orientation should become the major dominant in their future occupational trajectory. The occupational trajectories within the real segment of the economy most often is formed as a compromise, where the interests are not dominant. The research results may be valuable for the experts in the area of sociology, pedagogy and management.

Abstract:
This article focuses on determination of trends on possibility of establishing the value normative framework of globalizing society. The author comes to the conclusion that the creation of a legitimate normative legal framework is inseparably related to the information technologies, strategies of mass media discourse that has high potential for formation of public opinion as well as to the government activity in the area of information policy that would imply the creation of ideology corresponding with the cultural-historical traditions of separate states and mentality of the nations, not contradiction the flow of general civilizational processes. Studying legal text in modern information society necessitates the use of systemic method for comprehensive examination of legal communication in the network context. Methods of hermeneutic and phenomenological analysis possess strong heuristic potential. The first ones allow studying the dynamic aspects of organization of conceptual structure of legal document, capabilities and limits of its interpretation; while the second are aimed at determination and description of the phenomena with optimizing for the social interaction properties, and building on this basis the effective models of legal communication. Synergetic approach is also of methodological importance; it suggests the existence of universal link, takes into account the role of local factors in the conditions of instability and points of bifurcation, as well as allows forming the strategies contributing to alleviation of social tension and finding consensus within the space of social interaction. The scientific novelty consists in explication of peculiarities of legal discourse in the context current social transformation substantiated by globalization and glocalization processes in the world of information technologies, network communication platforms, determination of specificity of the modern sociocultural context, significance of legal norms and lawmaking activity within the framework of current social dynamics.

DOI: 10.25136/2409-7144.2019.12.31520 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=31520
Abstract:
The right of children to freely express their opinion and participate in decision-making that affect their interests became mainstream after Russia’s ratification of the United Nations Convection “On the Rights of the Child”. There is an ongoing discussion between the Russian and foreign experts on the possibilities and barriers of children’s participation in decision-making. The subject of this article is the concepts and practices of participation of children in decision-making pertinent to their livelihood. Three levels of analysis are determined – family, school, and place of residence. The materials were collected in the eight cities of Primorsky Krai during sociological expeditions via focus group research method. The author also examines the materials of federal and regional statistics. The scientific novelty consists in reference to the regional experience of participation of teenagers in decision-making pertinent to their livelihood. The results demonstrate a low level of children’s engagement into decision-making of municipal level, including through the activity social organizations for children and youth; the lower level of youth initiatives is observed in rural areas due to underdevelopment of social organizations and lack of financial resources. Social activity of teenagers reduces as they get older; the involvement into socially important activity is replaced by preparation for state exams, professional self-determination, etc. The respondents demonstrated their content with participation in family decision-making processes, and partial content in addressing the school issues. For the school level relevant remains the problem of expressing own opinion by a teenager, as well as teacher’s respect of it.

Abstract:
This article examines the scientific research activity of students-sociologists in the context of development of regional sociology. Since Russian is a multiethnic country with diverse climatic conditions and peculiarities of development of separate regions, the examination of regional peculiarities of development of sociological knowledge is considered a relevant topic. The subject of this work is the research priorities of modern students of sociology in a regional university. The problem of youth involvement into science and formation of scientific research interests of this social group is important for the development of Russian science. The study was conducted via the method of content analysis of all releases of compilation of scientific articles of the faculty of Sociology of Altai State University “Sociology in the modern world: science, education, creativity”. The authors analyzed 352 articles of students and master’s degree students. It was determined that most often the students of sociology study the problem regarding the Russian society overall; the spheres of education, family, politics and youth problems also enjoy popularity. In top five are also the topics associated with theory, methodology of sociological knowledge, and problems of sociology of culture. The majority of articles carry theoretical character; but if they contain an empirical part, it is usually the original research of authors of the articles, rather than secondary data analysis. The research results may be valuable to other scholars engaged in this problematic.

Network forms of self-organization and management of social systems in the context of informatization and virtualization of modern society
// Sociodynamics.
2019. ¹ 12.
P. 256-268.
DOI: 10.25136/2409-7144.2019.12.31707 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=31707
Abstract:
This work examines the specificity of virtual socio-communication space and the forms of social and political self-organization emerging within it. Due to expansion of information and communication technologies, the modern social space is subject of the processes of virtualization and informatization. On the one hand, these processes lead to the establishment of grounds for future information society; while on the other, cause a number of undesirable consequences such as information warfare, cyberterrorism and information pollution. The understanding of structural characteristics of information society, namely the emerging within it forms of management and self-governance of social systems, would allow preventing the negative effects of informatization. The research leans on the social systems theory of N. Luhmann, classification of communication types of M. Mcluhan, wave model of society of A. Toffler, concept of power of M. Foucault, and post-structuralist concepts of J. Baudrillard and G. Deleuze. The process of informatization of socio-communication space of society leads to the emergence of new forms of political organization and self-organization of social systems, establishment of virtual and network forms of governance. The main peculiarities of these forms of governance include: deterritorialization, rhizomaticity, cybernetization. Despite the difficulty in determination of the network forms of governance, the author observes more and more indirect criteria of their existence, which increases the need for studying their fundamental characteristics.

P. 269-281.
DOI: 10.25136/2409-7144.2019.12.31558 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=31558
Abstract:
An important national document that attracted attention towards the topic of participation of children in decision-making affecting their interests became the National Children's Interests Action Strategy. During the period of its implementation (2012-2017) the concept of participation undergone changes and distortions in some instances. Mass media played a significant role in interpretation of participation. The authors attempt to answer the following questions: how active are mass media in referring to the topic of children’s participation; what concepts of participation are brought into focus; does the mass media discourse aligns with the nationwide political legal discourse. Mass media publications for the period 2009-2019 selected by the information-analytical system “Integrum” became the materials for this research. Software program MAXQDA was used for processing and analysis. The scientific novelty consists in consideration of the insufficiently studied within Russian science topic of children’s participation, as well as in analysis of discourse on the matter created by mass media. The research demonstrated that participation is interpreted as a practical, initiative, socially important activity, as civic participation and unachievable ideal of social development associated with implementation of the basic principle of Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the analysis of factors, trends and forms of political participation of youth. From the perspective of the theory of political participation, the author examines the problems of engagement of youth into political activity, as well as gives assessment to the state of channels of political mobilization of young generation at the present stage of development of political system. The comparison of the motive and method of involvement reveals the differences between the two groups of politically active youth, their specific features as a subject of political participation. Particular attention is paid to studying the impact of social feeling of youth upon the selection of form of political engagement and participation. The empirical framework contains the polling data of the two subgroups of young activists (N=600) of political organizations. The first group includes the activists of pro-government political parties, as well as the members of regional youth parliaments, governments and civic chambers (n=300). The second group of respondents (n=300) includes the activists of “non-systemic” political organizations, serving as the core of modern youth protest. The author’s main contribution consists in the description and comparison of factors defining the choice of strategy for political participation of the activists of sociopolitical organizations. The revealed peculiarities of ideological-political orientations, motivations and indicators of social wellbeing of the young activists demonstrate two different paths – political participation in form of support of the existing government institutions, and oppositional participation, reflected in protest actions.
