Paisaje urbano con figura : La invención de una tradición

By: Benjamin Casadiego

En 2013 Colombia vio su vida pública estremecida por un cruento paro agrario que dejó decenas de muertos y un país dividido en las ambiguas percepciones alrededor de la vida en el campo. Mientras esto ocurría, en un pueblo andino al nororiente del país, se desarrollaba un enconado debate alrededor de la pureza del folclor. En un momento ambas historias se cruzan y la ciudad se ve dibujada sobre un nuevo paisaje. El libro tiene el estilo de un reportaje-perfil con un personaje principal, que al seguirlo, el lector se encontrará con un estudio sociológico que puede caber a cualquier pueblo de América Latina: la cultura, las tradiciones, el negocio cultural, la violencia política....

"La ciudad es un trazo inconcluso, hecho de memorias y de olvidos, más de olvidos quizás, pero sobre todo, de invenciones. Los seres que la habitan se la inventan día a día. Algunos de ellos son la suma de tales invenciones y asoman al paisaje urbano su figura". ...

By: Ph.D. Muhammed Ruhat Yasar

La Función Social de la Educación Superior en la Sociedad del Conocimiento Europeo

By: Karsten Krüger & Laureano Jinénez & Alba Molas

NESOR (“New Social Risks and the role of universities”), un proyecto de investigación co-financiado por la Unión Europea a través del programa Socrates, ha analizado la función de la educación superior en el nuevo modelo social europeo, que es uno de las referencias estratégicas de la Unión Europea para la sociedad del conocimiento. Se prestó especial atención a las desigualdades sociales que están emergiendo en la sociedad y economía del conocimiento. Se analizó en que manera las universidades contribuyen y pueden contribuir a mitigar las nuevas formas de exclusión social y se elaboró un modelo de la educación superior para la sociedad del conocimiento globalizada. En el curso del proyecto, los equipos de investigación ha realizados más de 150 entrevistas con expertos de la educación superior y responsables de universidades en seis países europeas (Austria, España, Hungría, Italia, los Países Bajos y Polonia), se han organizado más de 10 seminarios con expertos, varias conferencias nacionales y 3 conferencias internacionales. Como fruto de esta trabajo investigadora se han elaborado más 24 informes nacionales, 4 informes comparativ...

Black Hats and White Hats : The Effect of Organizational Culture and Institutional Identity on the Twenty-third Air Force

By: Lt Col Ioannis Koskinas, USAF

The basic hypothesis explored in this paper is that organizational culture and institutional agendas significantly affected the rise and fall of the Twenty-third Air Force. The significance of this research effort is clear considering the 1 October 2003 merger of Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) and AFSOF under the aegis of the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). In light of recent events, this study’s ultimate goal is to provide a preview of how culture may affect AFSOC’s endeavors to strengthen CSAR capabilities. By studying the past, this paper looks for glimpses into the future....

Idiocy of the Indian Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act! [Sample pages]

By: Ved from Victoria Institutions

Domestic violence

Now we move on to discuss the various facets of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. As mentioned earlier, this discussion cannot follow the tracks of wordings of the Act, which at best is only a display of empty pedantry. Before entering into the exact premises of the discussion, there is one more item that needs mention. That is the so-called equality between men and women. It is a theme that is ferociously discussed in many nations. More in nations, where actually there is not much of an ‘equality’ issue. It is like the claims of the Blacks for right to equality with the Whites in English nations, where actually there is not much of a discrimination as that can be conceived of as in nations like India. For in nations like India, such right to equality with any superior class of people, including the rich, government officials, social superiors etc. cannot even be pondered upon, by the lower classes. In Indian feudal languages, it is a very rare occasion for anyone to be equal to anyone else, just like that. More so, the husband with the wife and the wife with the husband. In most Indian vernaculars, the wife ...

Hindi in Australia! Behold the future!! : The Tragedy that Await a Pristine English Social Scene

By: Ved from Victoria Institutions

I am posting a writing here which might be mentioned as racist or hate speech or any such thing, by persons who might not know how to contain the arguments. There is nothing racist in my words. For I am not White, and I do not feel that Whites of Continental Europe have any superiority other than what proximity to England can lend to anyone in the world. There might be a query about my right to write this piece of information. I have to mention that I define myself here as a researcher on codes in languages. I have written a few books, all of them original thoughts....

When the native-English speaking students in Australia find themselves being addressed as Thoo / Thum/ Nee &c. and referred to as USS / Avan / Aval &c. all of which are degrading words that paint dirt on a human personality, they have every right to react. If any Hindi or any other feudal language teachers use such words on them, they need to have the courage to give a cracking slap on the teacher....

Un monde de prairiens : Les hommes vus par les insectes

Analogies entre histoires de prairiens et histoires d'hommes

Prologue: Il était une fois le Prairien. C'était un être évolué de la classe des insectes qui vivait depuis des millénaires dans la prairie, un endroit qu'il appelait affectueusement la planète verte. Le prairien se croyait depuis toujours au centre du monde et de l'univers. Les dieux avaient créé pour lui, un monde à son image dans lequel il devait régner au détriment des autres espèces créées pour le satisfaire. ...

Sosyolojik düşünme ve metodolojisi

By: Ph.D. Mehmet Cüneyt Birkök

Bu çalışmada sosyoloji, metodoloji ve felsefeden yararlanılarak sosyolojik olarak düşünmenin tekniği araştırılmaktadır. Amaç, düşünme veya araştırma yapma gibi entelektüel bir çalışma esnasında bilimsel dogmalar, düşünce kalıpları veya diğer metodolojik hatalara düşmeden ya da engellere takılmadan sosyal olayların anlaşılmasını sağlayacak pratik bir düşünme metodu oluşturmaktır. Böylece araştırmacının herhangi bir sosyal olgu hakkındaki bilgisi, sadece başkalarının o konuyla ilgili daha önceki anlayışlarıyla sınırlı kalmayarak olayın hakikatine başka yönleriyle de nüfuz edebilecektir. Çalışmada düşünme ve metodolojinin önemli noktaları birleştirilerek sosyolojik düşünmenin temel çerçevesi kurulmaya çalışılmaktadır. Araştırmadaki teori ve pratik bağını koparmamak için konular mümkün olduğu kadar birlikte ele alınmakta ve uygulama örnekleriyle açıklanmaktadır. Bu amaçla sık kullanılan bazı araştırma tekniklerine de yer verilmiştir. Vurgulanması gereken bir husus da metodolojinin araştırma tekniklerinden çok daha ötede ve en az araştırmanın kendisi kadar önemli olduğudur. Bilimsel bir çalışmada her adımın düşünülerek atılması gerekmekt...

Sosyoloji biliminin tahsili, sosyologlara zaman içinde sosyolojik bir düşünme tarzını sağlamakla birlikte, mevcut standartların ötesine geçecek bakış tarzlarını geliştirme mecburiyeti vardır. Öte yandan, sosyal bilimler sahasındaki diğer araştırmacıların kendi disiplinlerindeki çalışmalarına katkı sağlaması bakımından sosyolojik düşünmeyi dikkate almaları gerekmektedir. Sosyolojik düşünebilmenin yararlı olacağı bir başka kesim de sosyal politikalarla uğraşan veya karar verme görevindeki yöneticiler, yetkililer ve siyasilerdir. Doğru kararların alınması sadece mevcut teknik imkanların en uygun kombinasyonunu sağlamakla değil, mevcut olan tüm faktörler karar verme sürecine dahil edilmesiyle gerçekleşmektedir. Özellikle sosyal determinantlar esas faktör olarak değerlendirmeye katılmalıdır. Bir toplumun kendine has şartları ihmal edilerek yapılan faaliyetler hem eksik hem de bilimsellikten uzaktır. Bu nedenle günümüz insanı için mümkün olduğu kadar geniş bir yelpazeyi dikkate alan ve sürekli geliştirilen sosyolojik bir düşünce biçimi sağlanmalıdır....

March of the Evil Empires! : English Versus the Feudal Languages!!

By: Ved from Victoria Institutions

This is a book containing a revolutionary idea about understanding society, human behaviour, history, anthropological features and many other aspects of human beings. The basic understanding that is being put forward is that languages, which are the software for human communication, are powerful media, which not only can help in communication, but also does contain extremely powerful designs and programs, which literally design all societies. Languages are actually powerful machines that can create a definite and pre-definable pattern, along which all human beings arrange themselves, to form different societies. Different type of languages form different type of societies; for example,a group of persons who think and talk in Tamil, would form a society, which would have remarkable Tamil features, and identifiable behaviour patterns.A group of persons who do the same thing in Spanish would display definite Spanish looks, demeanour, behaviour and social pattern and arrangement.An English speaking society would be having its own definite looks and, also a very easily identifiable interpersonal interaction configuration. ...

A QUOTE from the book about what would happen to the US, when feudal language speakers swarm into this once good quality English nation. This was written around 1990: ...a stage may come, at least, in certain areas, where the innate resilience of the English structure may be severely tested; and cause much distress to the individual persons; and can in a matter of time, cause domino effect on many other areas, causing strange happenings of technological failure, inefficiency, conflict, hatred, events that may be described with shallow understanding as racially motivated, decent and peaceful persons acting with unnatural violence etc. Rude officialdom, arrogant and trigger-happy police, increasing corruption, insolent attitude to persons who are judged to be doing lower jobs, time consuming judiciary, rules and regulations, which are laughable in meaning but having a sting from which many get hurt, and a general feeling of hopeless for the solitary individual, as against the might of the society are all general characters of the effect of feudal languages. What has to be borne in mind is that feudal languages do have elemen...

An Urgent Appeal for English Racism

It was written as part of my desperate attempts to inform the naive, gullible and stupid Englanders of how they have been cunningly deluded to appear as a most evil nationhood, when actually they ought to be acclaimed as the greatest of social engineers in various far-off, semi-barbarian and totally barbarian geographical locations....

What is Different about Pristine English?

By: Ved from Victoria Institutions

This is a post that I had done on Telegraph.UK blog pages. The first chapter was posted on the 27th of May 2014. It was part of my desperate attempts to inform the naive, gullible and stupid Englanders of what is dangerously different in most other languages, which have feudal or three-Dimensional word-code structure. Without any information on this most powerful evilness, the nation is singing praise and glory to its misinformed national policy of multiculture. Even though the subject matter that I have dealt in here would be quite easy for any feudal language speaker to understand, it would not be easy for a native-English speaker to grasp. Most native-feudal language speakers who are currently enjoying the quaint splendour of England would shy away from admitting the correctness in my writings. For, if they do admit that there is a very powerful content in this, all their outraged contentions on English racism would evaporate into thin air. This writing is part of my efforts that started a few decades back, starting with my first book on this theme: March of the evil empires: English versus the feudal languages. ...

An Impressionistic History of the South Asian Subcontinent : Feudal Languages

By: VED from Victoria Institutions

This is a writing that goes into the very depth of feudal language social systems. The writing commenced as a regular broadcast through Whatsapp and still continues. The language of the original writing was a vernacular language of the southern parts of the South Asian Subcontinent. As of now, the broadcast has gone beyond 280 chapters. In this book only the first 100 and odd posts are given. This is so because the translation of only that many chapters has been completed. The translated version of this book is primarily aimed at the attention of the native-English populations of native-English nations. They have no idea as to what it is that is entering their nations, when feudal language speakers enter their nations and slowly bring in diabolic transformations in everything in the native-English social systems. Feudal languages have terrible carnivorous codes, along with an overpowering outwardly affable friendliness. The combination is a very deadly one, in that there is no shield or barrier that can effectively stop the infection of feudal languages. The only way to ward off the terrible social disasters in the offin...

Chapter Five Feudal languages and planar languages This writer, after a lot of observations and experimentations, has defined languages as of two different categories. Languages like English were categorised as planar languages. Languages which have word-codes of feudal lowliness versus heights were defined as feudal languages. In connection with this, a draft form of the book MARCH of the EVIL EMPIRES: English versus the feudal languages was first written in the year 1989. Around the year 2000, the completed version of this book was published online. As of now, this book is available for download on VICTORIA INSTITUTIONS’ Website In this book, a contention that languages are either software codes or software applications had been mentioned. After many years, when direct observations on the real codes in languages were made, it was felt that the word ‘feudal’ was inadequate as a technical word to define the phenomenon. It was then that a few years back that it was understood that a more apt technical usage would be: '3-D Virtual Arena-coded languages'. In accordance with this understanding, this technical usage was made i...

Native Life in Travancore along with Commentary by VED from Victoria Institutions

By: Rev. SAMUEL MATEER; VED from Victoria Institutions, Editor

Commentary The work Designing this old book into a digital book version had its own travails and hard work. I took the text from various online sources. The text needed a lot of corrections, when it was converted into a MS Word file. Moreover, there were lots of pages missing. I think I have been able to get most of the pages intact by cross-referencing the sources, all of which had similar problems, but not in the same locations. I think I commenced the work on this project on the 20th of May 2014. Today it is June 26th 2014. The text of the book is ready and in the form of a digital book. Now I am commencing on my own commentary on this book. This book and other books This is a great book indeed. Even though this book ostensibly speaks of the kingdom of Travancore, the core emotions that have been dealt out can be on various aspects of the geographical area known as the South Asian peninsula, and even of the Asian landmass. In my search for realistic historical writings on the peninsular region, Indian nation and on the antiquity of the land area currently known ...

To the present day Pulayars and others are thrust into cages not much better. One which I measured was fifteen feet long by eight feet wide, and five and three-quarters in height, in which twenty-five persons have at times been incarcerated, supplied with stocks all round, and no separation of the sexes. Another was eighteen by eight feet, in which thirty persons have been confined at once; and another was a “black hole” about eight feet square and five and a quarter high, with no opening whatever, for ventilation, not now used “except,” said the peon, “there were a woman, who would be put in there for her comfort!” The Sirkar has long been urged to remedy this serious evil, and has promised amendment, and done something in the larger towns; but much yet remains to be effected throughout the country. In somewhat recent times Shanars also, if they neglected to supply jaggery for public work, were put into cages armed with spikes, and made to eat a quantity of salt with a little rice, or chained to trees like monkeys to their cage-posts. “I once saw,” says Fra Bartolomeo, about A.D. 1780, “five natives suspended from a tree in a for...
