Produced and circulated in a period of political realignments as a response to the Cold War and the Cyprus conflict, these films played a role in the popularization of the myth of warrior nation. Hence, relying on theories on the formulation of political myths and gendered nationalism, this study shows how the representation of the Cyprus conflict worked to justify national superiority and heroism of Turks. Close reading and contextual film analysis reveal that these films do not merely reproduce the official nationalist discourse, but they actively shape militarist discourses by inviting viewers to align with the Turkish hero's point of view. Furthermore, the study inserts the films into a broader Cold War cultural corpus through establishing parallels with American and South Korean examples. In doing so, it deepens the analysis of the relationship between politics and culture by stating what role globally played by Turkish cinema in the production and popularization of the myth of warrior nation.","PeriodicalId":101168,"journal":{"name":"Sociology Lens","volume":"38 3","pages":"225-233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/johs.70002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145012120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While existing explanations have emphasized the exploitative nature of the hacienda and the influence of external political actors, this article argues that the revolutionary path was by no means inevitable or an automatic consequence of those factors; it was the outcome of the actors' beliefs, decisions, and interactions during the historical conjuncture of 1952. To trace this process, the article identifies two interlinked phases. The first was marked by increased landlord exploitation, the passivity—and even complicity—of MNR authorities, and the radicalizing activity of political agitators and union organizers. This combination made the reformist path seem untenable from the peasant point of view, leading to the radicalization of rural regions that had previously pursued more reformist approaches. During the second phase, a rural insurrection spread across most of Cochabamba's provinces. This coordinated peasant insurrection—never previously analyzed as such—evolved from the seizure of haciendas to a broader struggle for rural political power, ultimately turning into a revolution not only against landlords, but against the MNR itself.","PeriodicalId":101168,"journal":{"name":"Sociology Lens","volume":"38 3","pages":"212-224"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/johs.70004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145013277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the context of the rapid growth of digital consumption, the “weed-pulling” phenomenon has emerged as a distinctive form of anti-consumerist behavior that is increasingly prevalent on Chinese social media platforms. The findings reveal three key dimensions of Chinese digital anti-consumerism: identity construction through consumption critique and reflexivity, strategic resistance through tactical knowledge sharing and value reconfiguration, and platform-specific manifestations shaped by digital affordances and temporal patterns. Unlike the politically oriented identities documented in Western contexts, Chinese digital anti-consumerism emphasizes personal well-being, financial prudence, and esthetic discernment. These findings extend existing anti-consumption theories by demonstrating how resistance practices are culturally inflected rather than universal, and they deepen our understanding of digital communities as sites of alternative value construction. This research has practical implications for platform governance, marketing approaches, and sustainable consumption policy development.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":101168,"journal":{"name":"Sociology Lens","volume":"38 3","pages":"200-211"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145013090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We charted the key findings using a conceptual framework inspired by the structural approach to the social representation theory. We argue that although certain stereotypical scientist's features persist over time, across cultures, and are reproduced by the media, others have been changing in the last decades; those are distinguished in core and peripheral elements. Within our conceptual framework, we distinguished between core (a stereotypical scientist is a man, a genius, who works in natural and physical sciences fields), which have remained stable, and peripheral elements, which are more susceptible to change (physical appearance and personality traits). As expected, the review unearthed a gendered nature of the stereotypical scientist: despite all the changes that occurred through the years, the stereotypical scientist is still a man. Accordingly, we discuss the findings by highlighting this dimension, aligning with the debate on such disparities in academia and the surging interest in this topic. Finally, this paper constitutes a roadmap for scholars in this field and a guide for further research.","PeriodicalId":101168,"journal":{"name":"Sociology Lens","volume":"38 3","pages":"183-199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/johs.70003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145012973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of the article is to analyze the peculiarities of the evolution of the elite system in Spain, resulting from a late modernization process marked by political, economic, and cultural conflicts. Thus, it explores the sociological determinants that have shaped the Spanish elites through a historical-sociological synthesis based on secondary sources. To this end, the article analyzes the status of Spanish elites across three distinct epochs: from the late 19th century to the Spanish Civil War, during General Franco's dictatorship, and from the democratic transition to the present day. Each period is scrutinized to discern the composition and structure of these elites, categorized into political, economic, and cultural spheres. Additionally, the interplay and conflicts between these elite categories and broader society are delineated. Special consideration is given to the position of women as a marginalized group within the elites.","PeriodicalId":101168,"journal":{"name":"Sociology Lens","volume":"38 3","pages":"154-167"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/johs.12497","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145012823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The syncretic heritage of silk-weaving in Banaras (India) demonstrates the intersection of traditional knowledge and social structure to sustain the popularity of the sarees of Banaras. By integrating the findings and perspectives from various studies, this paper synthesizes the disparate and interdisciplinary evidence to uncover an area in which more research is needed. To explore if indigenous knowledge can deconstruct historical caste-occupation linkage, especially, with the enforcement of geographical indication (GI), it analyses continuity and change of social identities among Banaras silk-weavers and assesses the need to revisit GI architecture in India as an alternative to foster sustainable environment, market, and livelihoods for communities associated with such traditions. It questions whether democratization of artisanal knowledge protected under GI provides a viable and reasonably remunerative source of livelihood for those willing to acquire it, irrespective of their position within a deeply stratified society.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":101168,"journal":{"name":"Sociology Lens","volume":"38 2","pages":"130-136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144256513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
