/in Women's Expertise Potential in Cultural Activities /by Kcs21blAAIn today’s world there is an obvious imbalance between women’s social role and their tangible social position, despite the eminent influence they have on all aspects of social, scientific, cultural, economic and other public activities. Different studies show that they are unable to ascend in their public roles and their public influence is slowly but surely diminishing. Even the cultural sector, which is routinely perceived as “feminized” environment, is characterized by under-representation of women in management and governing structures. Liberal in outlook and egalitarian in character, cultural organizations often employ large portion of the female workforce, and hence have perfect conditions for aspiring women to become leaders in their fields of expertise. Studies, however, show that women are significantly under-represented at the top of the most prestigious cultural institutions. Throughout history, multiple cultural, political and structural barriers continue to handicap women in their fight for acceptance and recognition. This paper analyzes the barriers which prevent women from ascending to leading positions in their fields of expertise.
SOCIOLOGICAL AND ETHICAL ASPECTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA AS A NEW DIMENSION IN SOCIALIZATION AND COMMUNICATION OF AN INDIVIDUAL IN AN INFORMATION SOCIETY
/in Digital Media Technologies, Society and Education /by Kcs21blAALarge expansion of information technologies (IT), especially the Internet, has led to a general social interaction and exchange, from which arises the Information Society as a very real but yet unexplored dimension. For all these new issues arising from this progress in human relations and communication, a question of moral behavior in this new virtual world also arises – the question from which cyber-ethics is born. Genesis of virtual community is sociologically explained by the fact that normal social life of a person is divided into three environments or spaces: the space where we live, space where we work, and the space for socializing with other members of society. Virtual community is by many considered to be ‘a place for socializing’, as it does not pose barriers that exist in everyday human communication. It does not specify age, gender, political or religious affiliation nor does it take family characteristics into account. This paper analyzes this “third space” where people gather for the purpose of socializing which has become very cramped in the contemporary society.

/in Reviews /by Kcs21blAAANTHROPOLOGIC ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF URBAN TOPOGRAPHY AND THE INTERACTIVE PROCESS OF RECONSIDERING RECOLLECTIONS
/in Themes /by Kcs21blAAAnthropologic analysis of the use of urban topography refers to the use of space in cultural praxis implying analysis of the meanings given to this space in a socio-cultural context. This paper studies a site specific project Uprkos vatri (Despite Fire) and the manner in which an anthropological research can contribute to the implementation and presentation of such art projects. In this regard, the quotidian life and the artistic interventions in the Belgrade street of Kosančićev venac and their relationship were studied.
THE FUTURE OF SERBIAN MEDIA SPACE – CREATIVE VS. COMERCIAL
/in Creative Sector - Outlines of a New Model of Development /by Kcs21blAAIn the modern information and knowledge society, there is a strong affirmation of cultural phenomena, and the creative industries that have very great significance for the economic, social, political and general development of society. The term creative industries can be understood as a kind of antinomy, the unity of the opposing concepts – creatively as a reflection of authentic, individual, unique, creative act and industry that involves a unified, mass, schematic and continuous expansion of cultural, artistic, media content. Deregulation as a phenomenon of the nineties, brought to European media space clear delineation of public and commercial media. The differences are related: the question of the extent to which the creative and commercial activity in the media are in harmony or conflict, or whether a priori public broadcasters fulfill their program requirements as increasingly creative and that this component is expected to be completely ignored by commercial broadcasters. The current European and Serbian practices show that this conclusion is not always accurate, consistently and effectively implemented because the going to commercial broadcasters operates as appropriate to public service, that public media forget that their primary goal is quality and satisfaction of all public needs, and not the commercial success parameters. Open question is will the creative industries be influential enough to modify the financial aspects of the business media as well as the expectations in terms of aesthetic and ethical aspects of their program development.
