My research goal was to interpret and to depict the festival as a socio-cultural environment, an experienced material and spiritual space; a special place that exists only for a week. Based on the results, the mental places of Sziget Festival – i.e. the places that exist in festivalgoers’ minds – and the most important values of the venue, the functions of the sites, the forces that create places, the most characteristic atmospheric elements of the place, and the channels of perception of the spirit of place can be described. The applied objective of the research was also to assist in festival development, from the perspective of the formation of the festival image and marketing communication to practical considerations. Thus, the research highlights the usability of both the social sciences and applied research (marketing and market research) of genius loci, and some appropriate methods.","PeriodicalId":42178,"journal":{"name":"Corvinus Journal of Sociology and Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42309098","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}

In linguistic landscape studies, multiethnicity is a significant aspect indeed. Insofar as numerous ethnic groups live in Berehove side by side, it seems plausible to analyze the linguistic landscape of this settlement. In this study, two analyses (involving linguistic landscape items collected in 2013 and 2017) are used to elucidate this settlement’s linguistic landscape. I demonstrate the linguistic landscape collections using two methods of analysis (quantitative and qualitative), studied in a town characterized by its multilingual history. I also analyze ethnolinguistic vitality research in bilingual settings of various time lines. Furthermore, I introduce inscriptions and symbols collected at a street fair in relation to their language and its richness.","PeriodicalId":42178,"journal":{"name":"Corvinus Journal of Sociology and Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45531448","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}

While there have been some estimates of a global Roma population of 20 million, these communities are dispersed throughout several countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas. This article concerns the European Roma and the issues which engage them, the most salient being identity. It seeks to find congruence between the socioeconomic empowerment processes of Dalit (oppressed) communities in India with those of the Roma. There is a historical connection between the Romani language groups and north Indian languages – indeed it is from India where Roma communities are known to have originally migrated from. This article argues for the value of reviving these links by turning the argument around and advocating that aspects of the contemporary Indian experience of socioeconomic empowerment could be applied to Roma empowerment in Europe within the framework of the EU’s National Roma Integration Strategies (NRIS). This could benefit India through interaction with the Global Roma Diaspora and lead to a win-win situation whereby India would equally obtain advantage from learning about EU-centered models of inclusion. Accordingly, the robust sharing of good practices could benefit both sides.","PeriodicalId":42178,"journal":{"name":"Corvinus Journal of Sociology and Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49329807","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}

Noritoshi Furuichi is a young Japanese sociologist, a senior researcher at the Keio Research Institute, a Ph.D. candidate at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of the University of Tokyo, and a dedicated commentator on youth and political issues. Zetsubo ̄ no kuni no kōfuku na wakamonotachi (the Japanese title of the book) reports how Japanese youth deal with desperation and despair in their own terms based on the author’s articulations of youth theory, various interviews with young people, an extensive review of government surveys and publications, as well as his own observations as a sociologist and a young member of Japanese society. The book is unique in the sense that it documents young people’s reactions and moods right after the 3/11 natural disaster, reflecting the aspirations and frustrations of youth. At the same time, it is a book about youth by a young scholar who has thought much about youth theory and youth issues and debates with the former through multiple channels, including on Japanese television. This book is original and novel because Furuichi critically analyzes what it means to be a youth or young in today’s Japan with its challenging political, social, economic, and cultural realities. The 2015 paperback edition and the much-needed English translation of 2017, comprised of over 280 pages, are empirically-informed, scholarly, yet very enjoyable books on youth theory","PeriodicalId":42178,"journal":{"name":"Corvinus Journal of Sociology and Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43422903","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}

In this context, to reflect the need for a comprehensive societal transformation, the bio-based or knowledge-based economy is targeting a reduction in the present dependency on fossil fuels along with other forms of finite resources through their gradual replacement by renewables. However, while the objectives of such a major system change are mainly agreed upon, the pathway to achieving them is still a subject of dispute. Having the purpose of engaging in the debate, and attempting to lay the keystones for shaping the future, this book, Bioeconomy, explores and conveys the advantages of a sustainable, innovative and knowledgebased bioeconomy from an interand transdisciplinary perspective. Its aim is to advance the existing knowledge and to pioneer national as much as international cooperation in the field. The book’s editor, Iris Lewandowski, is known for her involvement in national and EU-funded bioeconomy research projects. One of these is called “Accelerating the transition towards a BioBased Economy via Education – ABBEE” which was initiated as of September 1, 2018 with the objective of creating new educational materials for students and professionals that incorporate the key elements of a biobased economy. Currently, the author is affiliated with the University of Hohenheim, where she is the Chief Bioeconomy Officer, and is also responsible for an international master’s program on Bioeconomy. Taking these facts into consideration, and framing them in the form of a textbook, this joint venture of the University of Hohenheim’s educators and students has resulted in Bioeconomy, which","PeriodicalId":42178,"journal":{"name":"Corvinus Journal of Sociology and Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46607739","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 main assumption of this research is that due to the distortions caused by elite discourse, voters are not aware of the intergenerational inequality of redistribution, thus attempts to change the voting system – that currently provides an equal vote to each voter, thereby maintaining inequality – would not get sufficient public support. After providing a review of potential voting reforms for improving intergenerational justice, we present results from an online survey sample of one thousand respondents. The data show that presenting the arguments for intergenerational justice increases the sensitivity of younger voters towards the political rights of young generations, but does not improve the acceptance of such reforms among the middle-aged and the elderly.","PeriodicalId":42178,"journal":{"name":"Corvinus Journal of Sociology and Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2018-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43927309","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 related studies were carried out within the framework of the European-Commission-funded ANTICORRP project, a large-scale research project being conducted with the participation of research groups from fifteen European countries. However, the editor of this volume concentrated only on five Eastern European countries in addition to Germany and Turkey in the selection of the articles. What makes the book unique and unusual is that these papers present cross-national evaluations concerning corruption based on new objective indicators instead of the well-known subjective perception indices that are usually used for this purpose. The analyses take into consideration the period between 2007 and 2013 and assess corruption risks in the construction sector based on two indicators. One of them deals with the practice of single bidding during calls for tenders, while the other is connected to the awarding of contracts to companies that have political connections. The existence (or co-existence) of such conditions may imply the presence of corruption; however, some more characteristics of public procurement can also be taken into consideration, such as the transparency of procurement procedures and the time that elapses between the announcement of tenders and the deadlines for application. The volume is edited by Alina Mungiu-Pippidi, a Romanian political scientist and professor of the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin.","PeriodicalId":42178,"journal":{"name":"Corvinus Journal of Sociology and Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2018-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41819462","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}
