The visual language’s instrumentarium could be different when try to articulate the image of the largest ethnic group in the Balkans. All autours must touch carefully the Roma filmtopics and sub-narratives in the frame area: on the one hand, they must achieve authentic representations and to demonstrate clear understanding, but on the other hand the risk of drowning in well knows stereotypes still exist. This article makes the first approach to the wide field of inisibility/ visibility of Roma in the field of Bulgarian screen arts. In our post-totalitarian cinema, the Gypsy Ethnicity affects the various types of films, their formats and genres. In the beginning (just after 1989 until the Millennium), there was a saturation and domination in documentary cinema, followed by the outflow of the subject. In that in recent years there has been an activation of the feature forms (long – and shortlength), made by new, young directors, who are trying to construct positive messages and images. An important focus is that Roma representatives (directors, screenwriters, actors etc.) are timidly included in the national cinema process. In general, however, the picture of presence is somehow marginal unfortunately.Bulgarian new cinema can fully reveal ethno-cultural differences and similarities, bring to the fore both the accordance and contrasts in the intercultural meeting. And in particular – properly and credible to paint the colorful, peculiar and distinctive world of the Roma ethnicity. Last but not least, the audiovisual arts could provoke a social change in the perception of the Other. The image of the Gypsies as a \"internal foreigner\", however, is gradually transformed. The research texts from the large humanity and social disciplines, and especially Film Studies, appropriatelly focusses on the diverse discussion fields in which cinema artifacts function: social anxiety, poverty, marginalization, sexualization, trauma and victimization during the Holocaust, children’s worlds and Roma childhood problems.","PeriodicalId":345221,"journal":{"name":"Balkanistic Forum, SOCIAL ANXIETY AND SOURCES OF MOBILISATION","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123098156","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}

One of the powerful and talented artists who tried to revive, develop and rehabilitate the \"Ukrainian\" in the beginning 20-th century contrary to the official Russian system, there was a prominent Ukrainian writer Mykola Khvylovy (1893-1933), who literally gave his life for it.

Several illegal organizations led by Levan Gotua, Adam Bobghiashvili, Kote Khimshiashvili and others were established in Georgia during World War II, but Soviet Special Forces destroyed all of them. Over the course of the Second World War the Tush people, motivated by the desire of Georgia's independence, fantasied in the illusions, dared and from the high mountains of Tusheti confronted with the Soviet totalitarian state. Provided the Russian-Bolshevik regime, based on the studying the numerous archival material, we consider the twinkle of the idea of such a national movement like \"Samani\" as a special case study, and think that the work fulfilled by the Tush Samanels is more than a dream: in the shortest possible time and under the greatest political pressure, this movement carried out a complete paralysis of Soviet rule in the mountainous Tusheti. In the 1940s, the national liberation movement in Georgia took place in difficult historical conditions. The Tusheti community unfamiliar with the essence of the ideology of Nazism and Fascism, and convinced in the victory of Germany which was already approached the Caucasus Mountains, linked their dreams to the victory of Germany in the WWII. They considered the defeat of the Soviet Union by Germany as a favorable guarantee of Georgia's independence. The aim of the organization was to overthrow the Soviet Union, liberate Georgia from Russian influence, and bring the country out of the Soviet Union-German war unharmed. Shedding light on the ‘Saman’ movement is of great importance not only for clarifying the issue of the national liberation movement in Georgia, but also in the Caucasus.","PeriodicalId":345221,"journal":{"name":"Balkanistic Forum, SOCIAL ANXIETY AND SOURCES OF MOBILISATION","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129295918","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}

The work focuses on one aspect of social exclusion – the inability to form skills. The lack of basic competences, such as literary competence, is seen as a prerequisite for poverty. Based on a rich empirical material from a nationally representative survey of language attitudes, a high degree of lack of attitude awareness of the norm was found among two groups of respondents (living in misery and with an education lower than basic). Observations on the overall results of language test examining respondents' language behaviour, as well as observations on the linguistic behaviour of these two groups of respondents in relation to the application of each of seven written norms, show that language behaviour is twice as often deterministic by material than educational status. This proves that a lack of specific language skills increases the risk of poverty and is thus a high risk factor for social exclusion.","PeriodicalId":345221,"journal":{"name":"Balkanistic Forum, SOCIAL ANXIETY AND SOURCES OF MOBILISATION","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116308534","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}

The naming after the name of John the Baptist, which became the most popular male name was also related to the Mother of God and had its origins in Byzantium. The spread of Saints’ names was connected also with the cultural processes following icon veneration over iconoclasm in the middle of the 9th century.

The living conditions, the qualifications of the staff, the work of adolescents in agriculture and the production of drawing pins, the communication barriers with parents and the outside world are presented. The documents of the two insitutions show that there were significant differences in the care of children between the single social homes for children with disabilities in Bulgaria. Located in the close conditions of spatial remoteness and the border zone, in unsuitable buildings of former border posts, the differences in the care of children in the two institutions are due to a very large extent to the different attitudes of staff and management towards children and work. But even in the best case, as it is in the home for children with severe disabilities from 3 to 10 years of age in the village of Debochitsa, the achievements of the staff were primarily reduced to improvements in the environment, care for hygiene and nutrition and educational activities with the most ‘promising’ children. In the preserved sources, children and adolescents had no names, no biographies, no faces (no photographs left), no voice. They were seen above all as bodies with physical needs, and grown adolescents as labor force. Scientific discourse in the 1950s and 1960s stressed the developmental deficits of these children and emphasized their difference' and not their abilities. This contributed to their spatial separation and isolation from other children and from the social life.","PeriodicalId":345221,"journal":{"name":"Balkanistic Forum, SOCIAL ANXIETY AND SOURCES OF MOBILISATION","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125413922","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}
