Distinct motivational pathways to participatory forest conservation across generations in forest-dependent communities
Socio-cultural determinants of women’s intentions to engage with urban forests in a Middle Eastern metropolis
Investigates socio-cultural drivers of women's pro-environmental intentions. • Women’s intention is primarily shaped by family, religious and cultural values. • Close social structures outweigh symbolic role models in shaping intentions. • Social recognition reinforces women’s participation in urban forest conservation. • A gender-sensitive, framework is proposed for inclusive forest governance. Women play a critical yet often underexplored role …
Unlocking pathways to livelihood improvement through valuation of ecosystem services in Kakamega Forest, Kenya
Ecosystem service (ES) valuation provided metrics comparable to economic models • Diverse needs and preferences were identified within socio-demographic categories • Communities showed strong preference for tangible ES compared to intangible ES • Inclusive schemes effectively addressed immediate economic needs of communities • Payment for Ecosystem Services is recommended for livelihood improvement Overdependence on tropical forest ecosystems in …
Ecosystem services values for local people in participatory forestry context
While green urban infrastructure has been widely successful in the global North to ease the pressure from rapid urbanization, developing economies in the global South are also embracing sustainable urban planning by integrating forest management approaches that prioritize ecological benefits of urban forests. Karura Forest Reserve (KFR) in Kenya is an important urban forest ecosystem that provides multiple benefits to the residents of Nairobi cit…
Science-policy interface in participatory reforms
How religion shapes the behavior of students
Introduction While being a complex concept, religion can shape the way people in general, and students in particular, behave and make decisions in different types of contexts. In this regard, our paper aimed to assess the way religiosity influences the school climate and the social behavior of students from confessional and non-confessional Romanian high schools in order to raise awareness regarding the importance of religion in students’ educati…
The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Immobilized Lifestyle of Institutionalized Older Persons
Our study aimed to examine how care centers for older persons acted and adapted during the COVID-19 pandemic period by considering the opinions of the beneficiaries, employees, and managers of such centers. The research was conducted between February and June 2022, and we used a mixed-methods approach. For the quantitative research, we applied a questionnaire to 430 institutionalized older persons from Timis County, Romania. For the qualitative a…
De ce teoria queer nu poate elimina tragicul
The idea of tragic is a battlefield, which is fiercely disputed in recent contemporary debates in comparative literature. Two methods are fighting over conceptual supremacy, given that both share a common goal of eliminating tragic conditions from our social life. The first method, which I call Lacan+, sees the tragic as an unavoidable effect of our desires, which struggle for recognition and transformation. The second method, which I call Foucau…
Queer Pasts and Queerer Presents
The 1990s wield a powerful force in the memories and meanings of queer lives and politics. Nowhere is this more true than in the postsocialist countries of Eastern Europe. The collapse of socialism along with other changes made the 1990s a complex site of ruptures and continuities, fundamental social and political transformations, shifting local and global entanglements, new hopes, and emerging disillusionments—as well as efflorescing queer lifes…
Revisiting the Uses of Nostalgia in Post-socialist Cinema
Scholars of Romanian cinema (Parvulescu & Turcuș 2021) explored the topic of nostalgia in post-socialism, but they stopped short of analyzing why directors such as Radu Jude refuse to draw on a melancholic view of the past. Similarly, film critics (Gorzo & Lazăr 2022a; Ferencz-Flatz 2017) analyzed the importance of the Jude’s attunement to contemporary cultural forms, but they did not engage with his reluctance to discuss positive aspects of Roma…
Reanimating the spirit of the avant-garde”, but with Ideology Critique
Immanuel Wallerstein Travels to Romania
A growing body of work has investigated the travel of neo-Marxist theorists and theory to state socialist contexts such as Romania and China, but this scholarship has not focused on successful strategies of indigenization. While several explanations for this process have been proposed, this article advances the concept of “ideological fit” to illuminate how a new body of work is successfully popularized and integrated into national conversations.…
The Artist as Realist
This article offers a discussion of the aesthetics of realism, which represents a central analytic category in post-socialist debates about Romanian cinema. While many disagreements have concentrated on realism as a technique for either documenting reality or disenchantment, I deploy realism as a dialectical method to understand the work of a pioneer of Romanian cinema, Jean Mihail. In criticising current models of realism, I draw on Georg Lukács…
Ethnicity as a category of imperial racialization
This article argues that the category of indigenous Romanian, which was articulated at the end of the 18th century can be better understood as a product of imperial racialization. Building on Katherine Verdery’s work, I analyze the production of the Romanian indigeneity within the context of imperial rivalries in the Habsburg empire. In doing so, I critically investigate the impact of Benedict Anderson’s theory of nationalism in Romanian studies,…
The future of Stalinist art
In this article, I reinterpret the Romanian film The Valley Resounds ( Răsună valea, Călinescu 1949) to challenge reductive explanations of Stalinist art as totalitarian and suggest a novel use of socialist artworks in the era of digital capitalism. In advancing a practice of decontextualization, I claim that Marxist films need to be reinscribed in new art contexts so that they could generate utopian desires about sexuality and radical politics. …
Laplanche and the anti-racist unconscious, rewriting seduction, listening to the noise
This article proposes the idea of an anti-racist unconscious to respond to problems raised by Jean Laplanche’s conceptualisation of ‘enigmatic messages’. In reversing the dynamic between the seducer and the seduced, I ask: What if a racialised person produces messages that will disturb a legacy of slavery and its history of violence? In drawing on an intersectional analytic inspired by queer theory, post-socialist theory, critical race studies an…
Shame and Cognitive Strikes
Clinical psychoanalysis and queer theory have at their core a deep exploration of sexuality. Although the link between shame and sex has generated a strong theoretical reflection (Butler, 1993; Dimen, 2013; Saketopoulou, 2013, 2014; Sedgwick, 1993; Stein, 1997, 2012; Straker, 2007), shame is in this literature primarily a threatening affect in need of psychic elaboration. In contrast, I look at shame as a critical and surprising intervention prov…
Intentions to engage in forest law enforcement in Romania
Strong Periphery, Weak Centre
When looking at the impact of the political, territorial, and social transformations which occurred in Central and Eastern Europe after the defeat of the Central Powers in the First World War, an evidence check suggests that sport was deeply influenced by the sudden disappearance of the Habsburg Empire. This article examines the shift triggered in the relation between a ‘centre’ (e.g. Bucharest) and a ‘periphery’ (former Austro-Hungarian province…
Shame
Saying No to Guilt
This article explores how cosmopolitanism can serve as a key critical concept for thinking about subaltern practices through which to resist neoliberal economic and affective conditions. Drawing on the work of subaltern theorists I develop a theory of cosmopolitanism that envisions the indebted man as the locus of grassroots contestations of neoliberal institutions and policies, namely debt and the deployment of guilt. Unlike scholars such as Laz…
Improving communication among stakeholders through ex-post transactional analysis — case study on Romanian forestry
Sport et éducation physique dans la Roumanie d’entre-deux-guerres
L’auteur étudie la relation entre sport et éducation physique dans la Roumanie de l’entre-deux-guerres en voyant comme cela s’accompagne de la transformation du sport de loisir aristocratique en mode de vie des classes « inférieures ». Il examine aussi l’intégration du pays dans un ensemble plus vaste à travers l’adoption de sports venus d’ailleurs et le déclin des sports locaux comme l’oïna qui était le véritable sport « national » roumain avant…
