Bouncers have recently attracted the interest of criminologists, some of whom have utilized Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts to grasp the sociocultural realities of bouncing. The present study continues this line of enquiry, aiming to demonstrate that bouncer ethnography will benefit from yet another of Bourdieu’s concepts, that of the field. A study of bouncers in a Czech city is utilized to argue that (1) field analysis is a valuable analytical framework for ethnographic research in this context, (2) it allows relationships both among bouncers and between them and other relevant agents to be explored, (3) it has the potential to investigate these relationships without criminalizing them, and (4) it provides a framework for comparative studies of bouncing in different contexts.

This article presents the main ANSA involved in the conflict in Eastern Ukraine. It focusses on an analysis of the specific phenomenon of the opolchentsy - Narodnoe opolchenie Donbassa. The aim of this paper is to introduce and describe these actors and to ground them in certain theoretical conceptions. The paper also tracks the changing motivations of the various ANSA brought under the umbrella of the quasi-state actor NOD throughout the conflict, and the changing array of formations that made up the opolchenie during a particular period of time. Evidently, the opolchenie do not fit into the usual classifications of ANSA.

AbstraktPríspevok pojednáva o vzostupe tzv. Islamského štátu v Líbyi, ktorý na líbyjskom území oficiálne operuje od novembra 2014. Ich prítomnosť je jedným z hlavných pilierov doktríny svetového "kalifátu", ktorého existencia a legitimita závisí nielen od uznania v oblasti Levantu. Skolabovaný líbyjský štát predstavuje bránu do Európy pre všetkých migrantov, utečencov, teroristov a radikálnych islamistov. Vzhľadom na to je IS jednoznačne obrovským bezpečnostným rizikom nielen pre samotnú Líbyu, ale aj pre celý región Severnej Afriky a Európu. AbstractThe paper addresses the issue of the rise of the Islamic State in Libya. IS officially operates on Libyan territory since November 2014. Their presence there is a major pillar of their transnational "Caliphate" doctrine, the existence and legitimacy of which cannot possibly be dependent only on its acceptance in the Levant. Collapsed Libyan state represents the gateway to Europe for all African migrants, refugees and also terrorists and radical islamists. From this point of view IS is definitely a huge security risk not only for Libya but for the North African and European region too.
