Togetherness and hospitality practices in the process of Ukrainian integration: The case of Lithuanian aid organizers
This article explores how Lithuanian aid organizers construct practices of togetherness and hospitality in supporting Ukrainian refugees. Using the theoretical frameworks of Geselligkeit and conviviality, it reveals how aid workers construct inclusive relationships through empathy, symbolic equality, and humanistic leadership, as well as institutional dimensions. Based on qualitative research, the findings suggest that integration is not only str…
Between Belonging and Feeling of Strangeness: A Phenomenology of Russian Migrant Experiences in Lithuania
The article examines the integration experiences of Russian political migrants in Lithuania, analyzing politics as everyday experience. Migration is understood here not only as an institutional or legal category, but also as an existential process that transforms the horizons of time, language, social relations and belonging. Based on the data of eleven qualitative interviews, four main levels of experience are revealed: the creation of “we-links…
The key factors of faith transmission in Lithuanian families
Growing body of academic literature indicates changing patterns of intergenerational faith transmission. We analyse empirical evidence from Lithuania to verify factors determining the transmission of faith in a family setting. We assess if parents’ religious conservatism affects the probability transfer of parents’ beliefs to their offspring. Specifically, we propose that parents holding orthodox religious beliefs face no advantage in transferrin…
Friendship as a Framework: Emotional Solidarity Among Ukrainians and Lithuanians
This paper applies Georg Simmel’s sociological model of friendship and sociability to examine the relational dynamics between Ukrainian war refugees and Lithuanian hosts. Departing from formal or policy-driven integration models, it emphasises micro-level interactions – trust, sincerity and affect – as crucial indicators of lived inclusion. Drawing on qualitative interviews with Ukrainian youth and Lithuanian aid organisers, the research demonstr…
Kavoliška laisvės sociologija ir jos dėmenys
Žymus Lietuvos sociologas Vytautas Kavolis visą akademinę karjerą plačiai tyrinėjo laisvės klausimą, nors ir nenaudojo „laisvės sociologijos“ pavadinimo. Jo daugiamatė analizė apėmė politines institucijas, kultūros normas, istorinę evoliuciją ir globalias perspektyvas, atskleisdama sudėtingą visuomenės struktūrų ir asmens laisvių sąveiką. Šiame straipsnyje politinės sociologijos požiūriu, išskaidant laisvės ir jos apraiškų įvairiuose visuomenės k…
Emigration as a way out of negative experiences in the post-Soviet reality: Subjective reflections on civic participation, labor experience, and emotional state
This article analyzes non-economic reasons for emigration, demonstrating how the situation before emigration might become important for the emigration decision. It aims to examine how migrants’ subjective accounts of civic participation, labor experience, and emotional state are associated with migrant clusters formed based on socioeconomic characteristics. The article discusses structural conditions of the transition period that might have impac…
Management of The Covid-19 Pandemic and Public Response in Lithuania: Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP)
The article aims to provide an overview of the interrelationships between public knowledge, attitudes, and practical behaviours in the context of a global pandemic and the risk management measures used by the government. By reviewing some of the key trends in crisis management in Lithuania, it seeks to explore the response of society. The aim of the paper is to analyse the interrelationship among subjective public informativeness, attitudes, and …
Interrelation Among Covid-19 Situation, Evaluation of Government Actions and Subjective Well-being in Lithuania
The huge and sudden challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic created the need for quick governmental decisions, at the same time provoking changes in subjective public perception. The article empirically analyses the attitudes of different groups in Lithuania towards the COVID-19 situation, government actions and changes in subjective personal well-being. A representative public opinion poll (N-804) was conducted to achieve this goal. Empirical researc…
Emotional State and Inequality among Lithuanian Emigrants
Recent public polls have revealed that 56.7 percent of Lithuanian emigrants (N=1500) feel superfluous in their homeland. Many of them are not only disappointed with the country and therefore decide to leave, but also can find neither adequate emotional relations with their homeland afterwards nor maintain healthy emotional ties with fellow Lithuanians. With this in mind, the article aims to describe the contexts that determine the emotional state…
Public perception of energy security in Lithuania: Between material interest and energy independence
The issue of the energy security in social sciences research area is mostly prevalent in political sciences. The sociological research of the issues of energy is rather scarce. The reasons of the lack of concern about sociology of energy security could be related to the specific geopolitical context of post-Soviet states. The energy policy of new democratic post-Soviet states are pressed to reconstruct the entire energy system of former Soviet Un…
Energetinio saugumo suvokimas: Neinformuotų racionalių veikėjų tipai
Racionalaus pasirinkimo suvokimas leidžia analitiškai sumodeliuoti ne tik sociodemografinius ir motyvacinius asmenų pasirinkimo veiksnius, bet juos susieti su makrolygmens socialiniais pokyčiais. Žvelgiant sociologiškai, energetinis saugumas yra visuomenės ir jos atskirų grupių rizikos suvokimo pasekmė, todėl racionalaus pasirinkimo teorija šiuo atveju gali padėti tipologizuoti racionalų veikėją energetinio saugumo suvokimo atžvilgiu. Remiantis v…
Lietuvos energetinio saugumo politikos poveikis visuomenės socialinei sanglaudai
Straipsnio tikslas – empiriškai ištirti energetinio saugumo politikos poveikį Lietuvos socialinei sanglaudai. Straipsnis paremtas J. Jenson (1998) ir P. Bernardo (1999) atliktais tyrimais bei pasiūlytomis analitinėmis kategorijomis. Konceptuali schema identifikuoja konkrečias – ekonominę, politinę ir sociokultūrinę – aktyvumo sritis, kurios analizuojamos tikrinant dichotomijas tarp visuomenės požiūrio bei visuomenės elgsenos. Šios dichotomijos le…
Lietuvos energetinio saugumo diskurso formavimas: Politikų, Mokslininkų Ir Žiniasklaidos Vaidmuo
This article makes use of discourse analysis to examine the interrelation of politics, science and media in the Lithuanian discourse on energy security. It argues that, considered as a discursive formation in Foucault's terms , this energy security discourse is still in the early stages of its development: within it, politicians, scientists and media commentators have different arguments, orientations, procedures, terminologies and finally goals.…
Daugiabučių namų renovacija: Socialinis ir ekonominis aspektai
Analizuojant centralizuoto šilumos tiekimo (CŠT) problemą ir stringantį jos sprendimo būdą – daugiabučių namų renovacijos programą didžiausia problema tampa ne CŠT infrastruktūra, kuri, naudojant naujausias technologijas, galėtų tapti efektyvia ir ekonomiška sistema, bet socialinės kliūtys, neleidžiančios greitai rekonstruoti sistemos bei prisitaikyti prie socialinių ir ekonominių liberalios rinkos sąlygų. Straipsnyje aptariama, kaip iš sovietini…
Rizikos visuomenė: Centralizuoto šildymo sistemos atvejis Lietuvoje
Straipsnyje analizuojama galima grėsmė didelei Lietuvos visuomenės daliai, kylanti dėl centralizuoto šildymo sistemos funkcionavimo rizikos. Aptariama, kaip sovietiniu laikotarpiu didelė visuomenės dalis tapo energetikos sistemos įkaitu ir kaip pažangia laikyta centralizuoto šildymo sistema šiandien yra sunki našta daugybei šalies gyventojų. Analizuojant „organizuoto neatsakingumo“ reiškinį, atskleidžiamas rizikos visuomenėsparadoksas (kuris apib…
Energetinio saugumo sociologija ir rizikos visuomenė
Straipsnyje sociologiškai ir antropologiškai aptariamas energetinio saugumo sociologijos objektas. Teigiama, kad energetinio saugumo sociologija yra platesnės aplinkosaugos sociologijos dalis, todėl čia gali būti taikomos tos pačios sociologinės prieigos kaip ir aplinkosaugos sociologijoje. Daugiausia dėmesio skiriama energetinio saugumo analizei objektyvios (U. Beckas) ir subjektyvios (M. Douglas, A. Wildawsky, M. Thomson)prieigos tyrimuose
