Teritorijalnost kao globalna koncepcija

The terraqueous globe is made up of spaces on which peoples, ethnic groups, races, and nations have carved out territories over which they form themselves into sovereign bodies politic, on which they can interact, through and across which they can pass with ease or difficulty, at the borders of which they can erect barriers or open the area to migrants and trade. Hence, I propose territoriality as the successor concept to social distance and as both a basic concept and a fundamental process in all of human life.Kopneni i vodeni svijet sačinjen je od prostora na kojima su akteri, etničke skupine, rase i nacije izgradili teritorije te se ondje uspostavili kao suverena politička tijela. Teritoriji su prostori interakcije, uspješnog ili manje uspješnog igranja uloga — prostori na čijim se granicama podižu prepreke ili otvaraju vrata migrantima i trgovini. Autor, stoga, predlaže koncepciju teritorijalnosti kao nasljednicu pojma socijalna distanca te kao temeljnu kategoriju i, ujedno, fundamentalni proces društvenog života

Social Movements and Civil Society: A Theory of Social Process in the American Commonwealth

U radu je prikazan razvoj američke sociologije. Osnovna teza je da je američka sociologija nastala kao zamjena za religiozno protestantsko i kršćansko učenje. Tako je sociologija zamijenila teodiceju i postala svojevrsna sociodiceja. Autori objašnjavaju tezu na primjerima djelovanja sociologa na sveučilištima u Harvardu i Wisconsinu, kao i pomoću radova P. Lazarsfelda, T. Parsonsa, E. Goffmana. Roberta E. Parka i drugih. Posebna je pažnja posvećena analizi suvremenih strujanja neomarksizma u Americi i uvjetima za zasnivanje autonomnih socijalnih pokreta.A short presentation of the development of America! sociology is given in this article. The main thesis is that American sociology was born as a substitute for the Protestant and Christian religion. In that sense, sociology took the place of a theodicy and became itself a sociodicy. The authors explain that thesis, giving brief accounts of the work of different American sociologists\u27 at the Universities of Harvard and Wisconsin as well as documenting the thesis through the works of P. Lazarsfeld, E. Goffman, Robert Park and others. A special emphasis is given to the analysis of the contemporary streams of neo-Marxism in the USA as well as to the analysis of the conditions oi the formations of autonomous social movements

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Physical Properties and Purity of a Galaxy Cluster Sample Selected via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect

We present optical and X-ray properties for the first confirmed galaxy cluster sample selected by the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect from 148 GHz maps over 455 square degrees of sky made with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope. These maps, coupled with multi-band imaging on 4-meter-class optical telescopes, have yielded a sample of 23 galaxy clusters with redshifts between 0.118 and 1.066. Of these 23 clusters, 10 are newly discovered. The selection of this sample is approximately mass limited and essentially independent of redshift. We provide optical positions, images, redshifts and X-ray fluxes and luminosities for the full sample, and X-ray temperatures of an important subset. The mass limit of the full sample is around 8e14 Msun, with a number distribution that peaks around a redshift of 0.4. For the 10 highest significance SZE-selected cluster candidates, all of which are optically confirmed, the mass threshold is 1e15 Msun and the redshift range is 0.167 to 1.066. Archival observations from Chandra, XMM-Newton, and ROSAT provide X-ray luminosities and temperatures that are broadly consistent with this mass threshold. Our optical follow-up procedure also allowed us to assess the purity of the ACT cluster sample. Eighty (one hundred) percent of the 148 GHz candidates with signal-to-noise ratios greater than 5.1 (5.7) are confirmed as massive clusters. The reported sample represents one of the largest SZE-selected sample of massive clusters over all redshifts within a cosmologically-significant survey volume, which will enable cosmological studies as well as future studies on the evolution, morphology, and stellar populations in the most massive clusters in the Universe.Comment: 20 pages, 15 figures, 6 tables.
