“…Inspiračním se zde stávají zejména imigrační skupiny, které reagují na lokální podněty odlišně než starousedlíci. Příklad George Marcuse studujícího společenskou elitu ze souostroví Toga v Londýně ukazuje, jak různé skupiny mohou vnímat vztahy mezi centrem a periferií diferencovaně a v souladu se svým vnímáním také velmi diferencovaně adaptovat své kulturní dědictví na nové prostředí [Marcus 1998]. Podobné otázce, ale v jiné dikci se věnuje též Frederik Barth při studiu Pákistánců a Afghánců v Norsku [Barth 1993] nebo Ulf Hannerz ve svých švédských i širších evropských příkladech [Hannerz 1992[Hannerz , 1996.…”

The research team of the project "History of Adaptation" seaks shared understanding of key concepts centred around four research perspectives: 1) long-term development and ancient historical roots of contemporary adaptation strategies that build on memory, tradition, respect for historicity, recognising the relatively recent emergence of the concept of cultural heritage and its protection; 2) the city as a dominant social framework, e.g. from the perspective of commodified historicity; 3) the politics of expertise and power, focusing on the relationships between the production of knowledge and governance, the growing importance and adaption of the role of experts and technocrats in the professionalisation of social management as well; 4) the emic perspective of contemporary social actors -individuals or groups. In the first part of the article, the authors outline these four perspectives, while in the latter part, organized as a roundtable, they situate the key concepts in the context of their disciplines and open a discussion to be continued throughout the project. Úvod o konstrukci projektuPři studiu historie adaptačních procesů vycházíme z předpokladu, že existovaly a existují vnější tlaky a podněty vyvolávající reakce společnosti, respektive jednotlivých aktérů, které je třeba identifikovat, analyzovat a pojmenovat. Opřeme-li se o Eliasovu figurativní sociologii, která svého času velmi inspirovala kulturně historický výzkum, můžeme sledovat vývoj jakékoliv společnosti jako vytvářející tlaky na jednotlivce, komunity či společenství v různých figuracích [Elias 1978], která jim mohou rozličnou formou a měrou vzdorovat [Crossing Frontiers, Resisting Identities 2010]. Optika adaptace představuje opačnou perspektivu. Přijímání tlaků jako výzev, na něž je možné či nutné reagovat různou formou přizpůsobení se nové situaci.Pro výrazně interdisciplinární tým může být úskalím vzájemné spolupráce hluchota vycházející z recipročního neporozumění pojmům, kterou společenské vědy stále ještě nepřekonaly [Burke 1992;Šubrt 2008]. Ve snaze vyvarovat se nedorozumění a ujasnit si

Why are things different on the other side of national borders; and how can this be explained sociologically? This inaugural lecture tries to answer these questions, starting from the example of the bicycle in the Netherlands. It distinguishes four processes that have contributed to increasing similarity within nations: growing interdependence within nations; increasing density of networks and institutions; vertical diffusion of styles and standards; and the development of national we-feelings. Together, these processes have contributed to the development of national habitus: increasing similarities within nations, and increasing differences between people living in different countries. These processes have reached their apex in the second half of the twentieth century. Since then, they have diminished, leading to increasing variations within countries, and growing similarities between comparable groups in different countries. This analysis poses new questions and challenges for sociologists. First, it leads us to rethink comparative research: what are we comparing when we compare nations, and is this still a viable unit of analysis? Second, it leads us to consider how the transfer of styles and standards occurs in our informalized, globalized, and mediatized age. Third, sociologists should analyse the new forms of inequality resulting from these processes, such as the growing rift between ' locals ' and (bike-loving) cosmopolitans.

“…To carry out the research, we did ethnography of the online environment, a space that, for Miller and Horst ( 2015 :12), is no less authentic and mediated than the “off-line” spaces, since websites and social networks are also spaces of social relations. To select the websites and social networks to the research, we adopted a multi-sited perspective through which, according to George Marcus, it is possible to identify, from multiple observation sites, a complex contextual architecture and the voices that produce it (Marcus 2015 : 20–21; 1995 ). The spaces were defined based on the conflict that guides the hypothesis: the essentiality of religious service.…”

Reactions to the Pandemic in Latin America and Brazil: Are Religions Essential Services?

In Brazil, the Covid-19 pandemic is triggering tensions in health management that provoke, among others, a political crisis led by the federal government, characterized by negationist postures regarding the seriousness of the disease and lack of focus on public health policies. There is also an information crisis enabled by the political strategy of dissemination of disinformation that disqualifies scientific parameters and the role of the press. In this context, churches and Christian religious leaders who have risen to power in recent years play a fundamental role, which allows them to be analyzed from their performance as a public religion. By decreeing the closure of religious temples, as a preventive measure for the advance of the disease, evangelicalpentecostal churches insert into the public debate the defense of the essentiality of religious service as a fundamental dimension for society, conferring support and legitimacy to the action of the government. In this sense, this paper argues that the Brazilian scenario, when compared to other Latin American countries, is an outlier. Based on ethnographic research within online media and the religious media circuit, this paper maintains that, nationally, religion takes the lead in the political and information crisis. At the same time, this study affirms that, approaching other countries of the region, the churches reinvented mediatized religious practices, deriving from the social distancing and isolation, and offered new meanings and religious moralities around the health crisis.
