This unique volume examines death from a socio-cultural events perspective. Drawing on the empirical and conceptual work produced by an international body of researchers, it is the first publication to look at death, dying, memorialization, and their mediation, from an events orientation.
By placing the contribution of these scholars together, this book provides a unique opportunity to instigate an international, critical discussion, around the connectivities associated with death and events. Chapters consider connections to death and events on many levels, including individual, local, communally based, construals of the event landscape; the relationship between death and events into larger socio-cultural frames of reference. Chapteres also consider how death and events are manifest through diverse platforms of mediation, with a discussion of the media presentation of end of life events, and the articulation of death online. Case studies from a wide-ranging selection of countries, from Moscow to Bangladesh to Cambodia, are examined throughout.
This will be of great interest to upper-level students and researchers in event studies as well as a variety of other disciplines such as sociology and cultural studies.

In my work I outline a new model of cemetery, drawing on the example of Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow. Using the theoretical resources of cultural sociology I will show that the separation of the cemetery as a memorial space and as a tourist space is not limited to one of these models, excluding the rest. ...

The authors of the article oppose the expert mainstream, which is based on methodological individualism and reduces social well-being to the standard of living, education, and freedom of individuals. Mainstream measurements do not consider historically established communities as subjects of development, and therefore do not notice the obvious paradox: maximizing what is commonly considered to ...

В статье предпринята попытка аналитической классификации социологических теоретико-методологических подходов к исследованию дисциплинарных границ науки. Отправной точкой служит прагматическая проблема исследователя в области социологии науки и научного знания: отсутствие явного мета-теоретического основания для выбора конкретного подхода к изучению границ дисциплин, которые соответственно лишает производимую аналитику методологической прозрачности и теоретической последовательности. В качестве инструмента классификации используется аналитическая ...

This article addresses a methodological contradiction that arises when attempting to in- corporate artificial intelligence (AI) into qualitative sociological research grounded in the in- terpretivist paradigm. While in quantitative research, AI, at least at first glance, seamlessly fits into the natural-scientific ideal of “instrumental distancing”, for the qualitative tradition, which demands contextual sensitivity and proximity ...

The issue of adolescent values is becoming increasingly important. Value orientations largely determine a teenager’s life position and worldview. Research into the values that are significant for schoolchildren requires consideration of the agerelated changes that occur in their value-moral sphere during the transition from early to late adolescence. Puberty is particularly significant, as processes related ...

The article examines the history of astronomical knowledge development among Mongolian peoples, from initial observations of celestial bodies’ movements to institutionalized research during the Yuan dynasty (1271–1368) at Khan Khubilai’s court (1260–1294), the late Ming dynasty (1601–1644), and the Qing dynasty (1644–1912). The study draws on Chinese astronomical and astrological works – “Chongzhen Calendar” (崇禎曆書), ...

The article analyzes Vyacheslav Ivanov’s concept of humanism by juxtaposing two texts on the subject — “Cliffs: On the Crisis of Humanism” (1919) and the letter to Alessandro Pellegrini concerning “Docta Pietas” (1934) — to show the shift from an early, predominantly critical stance toward a later, reinterpretive, Christ-centred rehabilitation of the concept. It raises ...

Venezuela is widely regarded as one of the most politically divided nations in Latin America. However, the mechanisms through which political polarisation facilitated the emergence of authoritarian rule under Hugo Chávez and later Nicolás Maduro remain insufficiently specified. This article develops an account of polarisation-driven autocratisation in Venezuela and examines how elite and mass polarisation ...

На сегодняшний день в медицине принято объяснять психическую патологию с позиции так называемого биопсихосоциального подхода, совмещающего в себе биологические факты, психологические концепции и представления о социальных процессах, влияющих на течение болезней. Несмотря на то что подобная дисциплинарная эклектика не раз подвергалась критике со стороны как медицины и психиатрии, так и социальных наук, реплики в настоящей ...

As the negative socio-economic consequences of climate change increase, attention to adaptation issues is growing worldwide. Currently, most of the adaptation measures are reactive and not very large-scale. The more ambitious approach to climate change adaptation is evident in the idea of "transformational adaptation," which is gaining growing interest in both academic discussions and international ...

Post-Soviet Eurasia is one of the world's most geopolitically consequential and rapidly transforming regions. Developments across it increasingly reshape political, economic and social relations far beyond its borders. Understanding these dynamics is therefore both intellectually urgent and analytically demanding, requiring an interdisciplinary approach capable of moving beyond established categories and fragmented national perspectives.

Символические объекты исполняют в застроенном пространстве роль метафоры, погружающей в образ города. Особенно такие объекты важны в столицах, где они должны как репрезентировать всю страну миру, так и выступать представителями регионов, а также подчеркивать временную преемственность текущего состояния с воображаемой непрерывной историей. Повышенная знаковая, сигнификативная функция символических объектов часто вводит их в конфликт с непосредственным ...
