A new 'Great Schism'? Theopolitics of communion and canonical territory in the Orthodox Church
Anthropology Today. 2020. Vol. 36. No. 1. P. 7–11.
Naumescu V., Kormina J.
The article examines the recent ‘schism’ in Eastern Orthodoxy to show how religion and politics are strongly intertwined in disputes over territory and sovereignty. It argues that two logics are at play in this conflict: one grounded in the theological‐political concept of ‘canonical territory’, the other in the notion of ‘communion’ at the basis of the Christian fellowship. The first is deployed in claims for national sovereignty as well as imperial domination, while the latter can make or break communities of faith. Drawing a parallel between the post‐socialist revival of religion in Ukraine and the current mobilization on the ground, it shows how these contradictory logics shape the fate of people, churches and states.

Статья посвящена изучению транзита к родительству молодых матерей в миграции с фокусом на особенности социальных взаимодействий. Поскольку обстоятельство миграции усложняет период транзита к родительству, то основной проблемой молодых матерей становится адаптация к новой жизни в качестве и родителя, и мигранта одновременно.

Off-stoichiometric boron-doped chemically complex intermetallic alloys (CCIMAs) have recently emerged as a new avenue for overcoming the low temperature brittleness of ordered superlattices. However, their behavior at high temperatures remains unexplored. In this study, a novel (Ni39.6Co29.3Cr10Al15.8Ta3.3Nb2)98.5B1.5 CCIMA was prepared and its oxidation resistance over a wide temperature range (500 °C–950 °C) was studied. The ...

В статье предлагается теоретическая рамка анализа научной элиты, исходящая из понимания производства знания как динамической структуры, формируемой внутренними противоречиями. Научная элита рассматривается не как совокупность выдающихся исследователей, а как структурный эффект производства знания — позиция в пространстве науки, концентрирующая максимальный объем научного капитала и задающая смысловой горизонт для всех агентов. Пространство науки трактуется как многомерное ...

Individualism–collectivism (I-C), the most widely researched cultural dimension, is often equated with Hofstede’s pioneering nation scores. Concerns are growing about these scores’ validity, but subsequent research has not produced a widely accepted alternative. Here, we offer a refined theoretical conceptualization of I-C, we systematically reevaluate the validity of Hofstede’s I-C scores, and we report the ...

Numerous studies focus on the tightness–looseness (TL) dimension of national culture, reporting important implications for business and management. However, the main TL measure has generated a number of theoretical and empirical concerns.

investigates the expression-experience discrepancy for self-reported emotions across nations,
focusing on how societal development relates to this discrepancy, which captures expressivity.
