Analyzing latent social effects of social initiatives through social return on investment (SROI) analysis in wartime: A Critical Examination From an Applied Sociology Perspective
An Empirical Application of Mental Mapping to Analyze National Identity Among Ukrainian Students
The paper focuses on the sociological adaptation and development of the mental mapping method within the study of national identity. ‘Mental map’ is defined as a spatial image or model formed over time in the individual or collective consciousness, while the method of mental mapping is interpreted as a graphic representation of a certain area by an informant at the request of a researcher. The study is based on the empirical application of mental…
Existential Sociology
In their chapter, Kotarba and Melnikov propose that existential ideas have historically found a home and even become crucial to theoretical sociology as it has developed. Even so, existentialist ideas have also been “frequently and naively considered as expressions of rebellion, radical subjectivism and irrationalism, that reject abstract scientific method, depersonalized formal logic and social milieu as conditions of authentic existence.” Hence…
The Reverberations of War: Ukrainian and Polish Academics Write a Collective Autoethnography of Experiencing War in Ukraine
The article presents a form of collective autoethnography generated by members of an informal group of academics called The Autonomous Autoethnographic Collective. The leading idea we relate to is 'reverberations' of multidimensional experiences of war in Ukraine that started on February 24, 2022. The aim of the text is to show the multiple perceptual views experienced by people situated in a borderline situation. Uncertainty of tomorrow, prolong…
John Lofland's concept of analytical ethnography
The paper presents a historical and theoretical interpretation of the ethnographic paradigm in the social sciences, its specificity, general principles of application and main research directions. The sources of analytical ethnography, its founders and the period of formation as an independent approach in the structure of interpretive metaparadigm are briefly considered. An ethnographic perspective is defined as a systematic, integral understandi…
Analytical components of mental mapping in sociological studies of conflicts
The paper focuses on theoretical and methodological achievements in the sociology of conflict, particularly the adaptation and development of mental mapping method. The main objective of the study is to define, characterize and specify the basic analytical components of mental mapping with regard to studying a conflict as a social phenomenon. Mental map is defined as an image or model of outer space gradually formed over time in subject’s conscio…
Existential Sociology
Existential sociology emerged in the 1960s as an alternative to the excesses of abstract objectivism, which was dominant. Writers holding this perspective have attempted to integrate symbolic interactionism's powerful concepts of the self and the situation, phenomenological sociology's emphasis on the social construction of reality, and ethnomethodology's telling critique of conventional sociological theory and methods with an innovative argument…
