The self-employed, as a social and professional group, are distinguished by instability, uncertainty of social positions, and precarization, which determines the relevance of this topic. The purpose of this article lies in identifying the characteristics of the self-employed in the beauty industry, to draw up their social portrait. The paper presents an analysis of theoretical approaches to the study of self-employment, cross-country comparative analysis of the regulation of self-employment of the population, discloses social and legal aspects, identifies the industry specificity of self-employment in the beauty industry. In the course of empirical research, which was implemented using quantitative (questionnaire survey, N = 112) and qualitative methods (in-depth semi-structured interview, 12 informants), the authors have identified the labor values of self-employed in the beauty industry, the range of services provided, characteristics and conditions of work, and the strategies for promoting the labor market. The study has shown that self-employed work alone, without involving any help from other people; they receive income from personal labor activity and are relatively free in choosing a place of work. Most of the self-employed in the beauty industry work in the informal sector, without registration, which carries risks and social costs for its participants. Based on the results, a social portrait of self-employed in the beauty industry was compiled: these are mainly women aged 18 to 36 years, who provide nail service, hairdressing, eyelash extension, massage, and tattooing. The authors have identified the methods of registration of their activities, the main mechanisms for the formation of a client base, platforms for finding clients, the intensity of work, channels for obtaining professional skills, and features of the organization of the working space. The results show that the regional program “Self-Employment”, aimed at lowering the tax rate and providing material assistance, is not popular among the self-employed in the beauty industry working in Tyumen. In the conclusion, the authors have identified advantages and limitations of self-employment, as well as the main risks. In addition, this article proposes recommendations for regional authorities that contribute to the development of self-employment in the beauty industry and the legitimation of labor relations of this social and professional group.

Extensive research underscores that we interpret the world through metaphors; moreover, common metaphors are a useful means to enhance the pursuit of personal and collective goals. In the context of planetary health—defined as the interdependent vitality of all natural and anthropogenic ecosystems (social, political and otherwise)—one enduring metaphor can be found in the concept of “Spaceship Earth”. Although not without criticism, the term “Spaceship Earth” has been useful to highlight both resource limitations and the beauty and fragility of delicate ecosystems that sustain life. Rene Dubos, who helped popularize the term, underscored the need for an exposome perspective, one that examines the total accumulated environmental exposures (both detrimental and beneficial) that predict the biological responses of the “total organism to the total environment” over time. In other words, how large-scale environmental changes affect us all personally, albeit in individualized ways. This commentary focuses the ways in which microbes, as an essential part of all ecosystems, provide a vital link between personal and planetary systems, and mediate the biopsychosocial aspects of our individualized experience—and thus health—over our life course journey. A more fine-grained understanding of these dynamics and our power to change them, personally and collectively, lies at the core of restoring “ecosystems balance” for person, place and planet. In particular, restoring human connectedness to the natural world, sense of community and shared purpose must occur in tandem with technological solutions, and will enhance individual empowerment for personal well-being, as well as our collective potential to overcome our grand challenges. Such knowledge can help shape the use of metaphor and re-imagine solutions and novel ways for restoration or rewilding of ecosystems, and the values, behaviors and attitudes to light the path toward exiting the Anthropocene.

Full textAbstract:
The formation of future philologists’ professional competence in the aspect of axiological approach is studied in the paper. Taking into account axiological ideas, a set of cultural-and-humanistic educational functions are identified. Among them there are: development of spiritual strength, abilities and skills that enable a person to overcome life's obstacles; formation of character and moral responsibility; providing opportunities for personal and professional self-realization; mastering the means that are necessary to achieve intellectual and moral freedom; creating conditions for creative and spiritual growth of an individual. As far as humanistic aim of education is concerned, a number of problems is outlined. Among them there are: awareness of the intrinsic value of an individual as a carrier of high humanistic principles, its unique individuality and creative nature; recognition of the harmonious development of a personality as goal and the main purpose of a man; understanding of creative nature of activity, awareness of the need of spiritual costs and self-improvement for its implementation; development of humanitarian culture as a set of personality traits – the unity of the internal moral essence and external behavioral expression, subtle perception of beauty and ugliness in human relationships, empathy, sensitivity, expressiveness, optimism, kindness. Several approaches to the classification of educational values were suggested. Among them there are horizontal plane of existence of pedagogical values (values-goals, values-means, values-knowledge, values-relationships and values-qualities) and vertical plane of existence of pedagogical values (social-and-educational, vocational-and-group and individual-and-personal values), emphasizing the syncretic nature of these values.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe purpose of the article is to show the personalistic dimension of education as consciously and intentionally organized social activities, aimed at causing changes in human personality, shaping the right attitudes, beliefs and assimilation recognized by specific social environments – family, school, group – values, norms, behavior patterns and goals life, which is a dynamic and complex process that usually occurs in personal interaction.In particular, I would like to strongly emphasize the fact that in philosophy, education is included in metaphysical, anthropological, ethical and axiological aspects. The beginnings of philosophical reflection on upbringing date back to the Greek παιδεία – the ideal of formation for mature humanity through harmonious physical, mental and moral development towards good and beauty. In the circle of European culture, this ideal has become synonymous with universal principles of education.The contemporary multiplicity of the concept of upbringing forces researchers to holistically capture the essence of up-bringing, which can be provided by realistic philosophy and the personalistic concept of man embedded in it. In this perspective, the basics of upbringing and self-education are rooted in the ontical structure of the human being, its potentiality and contingency. For this reason, the European pedagogical tradition is not exhausted either in collectivism or in individualism. The educational tradition of Europe is παιδεία and a stream of philosophical realism complemented by Christian culture. This tradition is guided by the principle of personalism in upbringing, and the truly personalistic upbringing concerns the real man, it is an update of the living abilities inscribed in human nature. This applies by all means to tutoring.

Full textAbstract:
As one of the major phenomena in the contemporary global context, consumerism has been shaping lifestyles in different aspects. Signifying the demand for the consumption of the properties that are produced and accessed quickly, consumerism has not only shaped the tendencies for the consumption of products, but it has also had impact on the approach to interpersonal relations in cultural, social and individual areas. In contemporary British fiction, Kamila Shamsie focuses on the disillusionment of the immigrants with their hopes for a civilised life due to their consideration as “outsiders” and she views this as an embodiment of the consumption of their dreams for the future in Home Fire (2017). Zadie Smith reflects the consumerist approach to the relations among family members in On Beauty (2005) with reference to Howard Belsey’s affair with Victoria as a signification of the quest for his new self and his failed efforts for the reconciliation with his family. However, in The Nothing (2017), Kureishi reveals that consumerism also leads to temporary sexual relations among the people. Focusing on Zee’s affair with Eddie instead of her husband, Waldo because of his old age and infertility, Eddie’s sexual relations with Patricia and Sarah, Kureishi’s The Nothing invites reading in relation to its focus on the short-term sexual relations among the people as an embodiment of the consumerist approach to interpersonal relations and an inevitable quest for a new personal identity within the dynamism of the contemporary world.

Ghavryljuk, Tetjana. "CULTURE FORMATIVE POTENTIAL OF THE ORTHODOX ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE CONTEMPORARY GREEK THEOLOGIAN CHRYSOSTOMOS STAMOULIS." Sophia. Human and Religious Studies Bulletin 14, no. 2 (2019): 10–13. http://dx.doi.org/10.17721/sophia.2019.14.2.
Full textAbstract:
The study aims to determine the latest understanding of the place and role of culture in Christian anthropology. The author proceeds from the lack of translation of the works of Chrysostomos Stamulis and the absence among Ukrainian religious scholars and theologians of ideas about the range of transformations of the fundamental ideas of Orthodox theology in modern Greek theological thought. Scientific novelty lies in defining the place and role of culture within the transformations of contemporary Greek Orthodox anthropology. The newest approach to understanding of culture as an expression of the divine in man provides the Orthodox anthropology with new vectors of development. The study indicates that the Orthodoxy continues to play significant role in formation of the Greek nation. Within this context, the dialogue with culture initiated by Chrysostomos Stamulis becomes an important factor of this formation and search for identity. Culture, in all forms of its expression, appears not only as a form of spiritual secular being, but also as the deep essence of man, one of the aspects of the image and the likeness to the God, that encourages man to go beyond the boundaries of everyday routine, and with the ability to admire Beauty, to reach the state of Love. The theologian is trying to demonstrate that presence of Christ in man cannot be measured only by man's presence at the liturgy or involvement in the life of the church, but that extent of man's freedom is also an important factor. Man is not an angel whose mission is solely to perform the will of the God. Man is the image and the likeness of the God, man is graced with mind, freedom, creativity and love. With them, man is the creator of our world, through culture, art and science, as well as through multiple social and personal relationships. Chrysostomos Stamulis unveils significant culture formative potential of the Orthodox anthropology, in which is formed the kind of man who is able to see good, beauty, love of the world created by the God, and through herself she affirms them in the outside world boldly starting a dialogue with it. And both culture and art play important role in this dialogue.

The relationship of I.S. Turgenev with the French literature, with G. Sand, P. Merime, G. Flobert, G.de Maupassant, J. and E. Goncourts, E. Zola is one of the important aspects of studying world literary interactions. The purpose of the article is to consider the writers’ similarity in literary continuity arising from the general features of European social and cultural life of the second half of the XIX century. The article analyzes the theme of the literary continuity of Russian and French writers of G. Sand, I.S. Turgenev, E. Zola. The attitude to the work of George Sand inRussiawas of a special character, I.S. Turgenev declared the recognition of her talent and its admiration. It’s interesting also the relationship between works by Turgenev with E. Zola. E. Zola’s novels in his homeland did not attract the attention of the discerning French public. Turgenev was absolutely right believing that George Sand and E. Zola would communicate mutual benefits with Russian readers. The European interests were quite clear in the general plan of the worldview of that era. The tasks of the era in any form were in the center of attention of the works by George Sand, I.S. Turgenev, E. Zola. The inseparable connection between the love theme and the political theme is a characteristic feature of the 19th century for west European novels. Versatile love aspects go through the works by I.S. Turgenev, G. Sand, E. Zola. The themes of running time inexorably, elemental nature forces, love as passion found the full embodiment in the stories and novels by George Sand, Turgenev, Zola. In comparison with the incomprehensible beauty and nature indifference, the characters of Turgenev and George Sand are aware of their “emotionality”. The organic plexus, the fusion of social and lyrical themes constitute the substantial and structural basis of both Turgenev’s novels and George Sand’s stories. In our work we came to the conclusion that the strong and many-sided personal and creative connections of Turgenev and the greatest French writers as George Sand and E. Zola inscribed bright pages to the history of traditional Russian-French literary relations.

Representasi gender dalam iklan adalah bentuk manifestasi budaya dari siklus ideologi dalam masyarakat. Sejauh ini, keberadaan iklan telah terbukti menjadi media yang berpengaruh terhadap penggunaan bahasa, gambar dan kontruksi representasi untuk meyakinkan audiens dengan membentuk realitas dalam mempengaruhi keputusan pembelian. Beberapa tahun terakhir, istilah femvertising muncul sebagai upaya periklanan untuk menarik konsumen wanita. Secara visual maupun retoris, pesan-pesan iklan yang dibingkai dalam femvertising mempromosikan kesetaraan gender dan hak-hak wanita. Gerakan Feminisme gelombang ketiga yang berkembang saat ini, menciptakan perspektif baru milenial feminis dengan menganggap bahwa feminisme adalah bentuk kebebasan memilih dalam semua aspek kehidupan, baik kesehatan, karier, pernikahan hingga selera pribadi dalam penampilan. Membandingkan iklan dari tahun 1980-an dan 1990-an dengan iklan yang diterbitkan 5 tahun terakhir ini, akan menyajikan konteks tentang bagaimana pergeseran sosial mempengaruhi kontruksi iklan dan persepsi konsumen terhadap merek. Melalui analisis visual kualitatif, studi ini akan mengindentifikasi bagaimana kampanye iklan dikontruksi sebelum dan sesudah gerakan femvertising melalui pesan feminisme demi membangun ketertartarikan audiens perempuan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa iklan-iklan perawatan tubuh sering menampilkan isu yang serupa, yaitu tentang nilai-nilai kepribadian dan kecantikan. Pergeseran nilai kecantikan dan kepribadian dalam domain yang lebih luas telah menyokong perubahan perspektif sosial terhadap perempuan menuju kesadaran feminisme.Gender representation in advertising is a form of cultural manifestation of an ideological cycle in society. So far, the existence of advertisements has proved to be a media that affects the use of language, images and representation in order to convince the audience by shaping reality in influencing purchasing decisions. In recent years, the term femvertising emerged as an advertising effort to attract female consumers. Visually or rhetorically, the ad messages framed in a femvertising promote gender equality and women's rights. The third Wave feminism movement that develops today, creates a new perspective of feminist millennials by assuming that feminism is a form of freedom of choosing in all aspects of life, whether health, career, marriage to personal tastes in appearance. Comparing ads from the 1980's and 1990's with ads published in the last 5 years, will present a context on how social shifts affect ad construction and consumer perception of the brand. Through qualitative visual analysis, this study will identify how the advertising campaign was constructed before and after the femvertising movement through feminism messages in order to build a female audience's alignment. The results of this study show that the advertising of body care often displays similar issues, namely about the values of personality and beauty. The shifting value of beauty and personality in the wider domain has supported the change of social perspective on women toward the consciousness of feminism.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of this research is rhythm as the cultural and fundamental philosophical principle of time organization of systems of various rank. The goal consists in the analysis of possibilities of creating the general theory of rhythm. The author set the following tasks: analyze ethnocultural traditions, which in the cognitive aspect lean on the maturity of rhythm-sensible way of thinking; analyze the reflections of Ancient Greek natural philosophers on the meaning of rhythm; trace the theme of rhythm in art, science and practices of the XIX – XXI centuries.; problematize the question on the meaning of rhythmology in interpretation of the new vectors of cognitive evolution at the present time. Articulation of the problem of rhythm as the universal requires consideration of cosmic-nature, planetary, social, cultural, and personal realities (worlds). In examination of historical artifacts and ethnographic material, the author takes into account the principles of evolutionary epistemology. The analysis of natural philosophical and ancient Greek worldview is completed with analysis of the language. The novelty consists in articulation and analysis of the problem of rhythm as a cultural universality as the ultimate basis, covering natural, sociocultural and creatively-personal rhythms. The transformations of mentality and way of thinking in cognitive evolution stemmed from matured sensibility in the archaic towards the development of intellect. Rhythmically sensible way of thinking that empathically connects human with nature was developed until the Early Middle Ages. Culture and natural philosophical reflections on the concept of harmony are of essential for comprehension of sensible worldview. Beauty as a formative principle of the universe was conveyed through the set of concepts adopted in the language of modern science. Rhythm as an aesthetic category in natural sciences attracts the attention of researchers dealing with correlations of biosphere, social and cosmic processes. Reflections on the universality of rhythm in the complex evolutionary systems allow reassessing the discord of rhythms (desynchronosis) of the modern global crisis.

Full textAbstract:
Bagi masyarakat Hindu, melaksanakan upacara yadnya merupakan bagaian yang tak terpisahkan, baik yang berhubungan dengan pelaksanaan upacara atas nama pribadi, kelompok dadya, maupun desa pakraman. Masyarakat melaksanakan upacara dengan perasaan tulus iklas, murni dan suci sebagai ucapan terimakasih pada Yang Kuasa atas segala rahmatNYA. Suatu hal yang sangat memprihatinkan adalah pelaksanaan upacara yang murni, suci, tulus iklas, dengan tampilan yang sangat artistik, tidak selalu diikuti dengan suasana religius karena upacara tersebut sering dimanfaatkan untuk menunjukan stratifikasi kehidupan sosial di masyarakat, sehingga sering dalam ritual seremonial lebih utama dari religiusnya. Selain itu banyak ritual selalu dibarengi dengan judi tajen yang dimaknai sebagai tabuh rah. Sebuah fenomena, antara ritual yang suci selalu bergandengan dengan gengsi dan judi yang maksiat. Hal ini disebabkan karena pemahaman masyarakat tentang upacara yadnya, tabuh rah dan tajen sangat kurang. Upacara pun tak terhindar dari situasi paradoksal, berada dalam suatu posisi yang sangat sulit, karena upacara yang sangat religius selalu dibarengi dengan gengsi dan judi yang maksiat. Tujuan penciptaan ini adalah untuk memberi pemahaman pada masyarakat bahwa upacara yadnya harus dilaksanakan dengan hati yang tulus iklas dan tidak boleh diikuti dengan judi. Hasil penciptaan ini diharapkan dapat dijadikan studi komparatif bagi seniman dan mahasiswa dalam penciptaan karya seni lebih lanjut.Religious ceremonies are inseparable part of being Balinese Hindus, either those related to personal yadnya rites, dadya groups, or desa pakraman. Various ritual facilities are attractively and beautifully displayed, expressing the beauty of those offerings as well as sincere, pure and sacred feeling. What concerns us most is that the supposedly sacred rituals that are held with sincere and pure feelings are not always meant to be purely religious activities. It could be because such rituals are held to show off social status; therefore ceremonial aspects are more dominant than the religious ones. In fact, more often than not, tajen cockfights accompany the rituals construed as tabuh rah: a phenomenon that combines sacred rituals with a show off and immoral gambling. The reason has been the lack in understanding of the rituals: tabuh rah and tajen. Here lies a difficult paradox: the sacred religious rites have always been accompanied by a show off and immoral cockfight as gambling. The creation of this sculpture work is intended to give bettors (or bobotohs) an understanding that the rituals should be held with sincerity and not using them for gambling. The creation is expected to serve the purpose of comparative studies on further creation sculptural works.

Full textAbstract:
Cosmetic surgery is often linked to the perception that women who resort to cosmetic interventions to alter their physical appearance are vain, superficial, and narcissistic. Few investigations have acknowledged and explored the individual’s personal motivations and experiences of her action and choice with regards to aesthetic surgery. By focusing on subjective experience, alternative insights can be gained on the cosmetic procedure(s) and on how their reshaped body influences an individual’s lifeworld experience. The article explores the perceived benefits and consequences of reshaping, enhancing, and/or reducing a perceived flaw or shortcoming of the body. From this exploration the focus moves to the individual’s subjective and intersubjective perceptions: how she motivates and justifies her physical transformation whilst keeping private, and at times hiding, her surgical intervention. Drawing on narratives from several women, we attempt to understand how they experience cosmetic surgery in terms of their personal sense of self and their everyday social reality.

Abstract:In the world of Nigerian beauty pageants, the bikini remains a fraught embodied symbol and aesthetic practice. Pageant affiliates, critics, and fans alike strongly debate the question of whether to include bikinis in these events. This article draws primarily from nearly a year of ethnographic observations of two Nigerian national beauty contests in 2009-2010 to show how various stakeholders used personal, domestic, and international frames about women’s bodies, and the bikini in particular, to bolster respectability. Through embodied respectability, women’s figurative and literal bodies were used to strategically situate propriety, social acceptance, and reputability for the self and the nation.

Code switching is the shift from one language to the other or use of more than one language during conversations or writings. The present research deals with intra-sentential (within one sentence) code switching in the language of television advertisements. To facilitate the socio-linguistic analysis, 12 advertisements of beauty and health care products have been recorded and transcribed from four television channels. The linguistic analysis focuses on the social aspect (gender, geographical background, socioeconomic class, and education) of code switched language in these advertisements. From the analysis and findings, it is concluded the language of advertisements for beauty and health care products reflects a change in linguistic practices and preferences of Pakistani consumers.

Full textAbstract:
The article addresses the issue of single motherhood for women in individual, social and pedagogical aspects. The personality and social conditions of single motherhood were analysed. Two main contexts of experiencing motherhood by contemporary women were pointed out, which are social norms and cultural patterns as well as individual, intrapsychic conditions of perceiving oneself as a mother. Social references and pedagogical conditions of single motherhood were shown. It was pointed out that the way women experience motherhood depends to a large extent on family, professional, colleague situations and random events. While discussing the issues of loneliness and solitude, the pedagogical aspect of this phenomenon and the multitude of possible attitudes and references to motherhood experienced were pointed out. The article indicates that social expectations for single mothers imply how women perceive their motherhood and how it affects the pedagogical dimension of its implementation. Motherhood as a conscious decision of a woman and as an undesirable state, as a consequence of events over which the woman-mother has no influence – these are other versions of motherhood described and analysed in the article. The article ends with considerations on the pedagogical dimension of the implementation of motherhood, and therefore on the role and place of children and family as the closest environment of women-mothers. The final part also indicates the need for institutional support for single mothers and their families.

he customer of an aesthetics institute looks for a welcoming and safe place to be taken care of. The establishment of a friendly atmosphere and normal flow of procedures inside the beauty institute as well as providing personalized services play a major role for customers. The personality of the aesthetician and interpersonal relations based on kindness, politeness, stability, humor and dialogue are fundamental virtues for professional success. An organized customer list, recording and keeping personal data of the customer according to current legislation are helpful in solving the customer’s problem properly. The social media, advertising and marketing skills are useful for aestheticians. Strategies that look for innovative and improved ways to meet the clients’ wishes and needs are creative and potent. An aesthetics business has to choose a marketing strategy in order to be competitive. Owners of aesthetics institutes need to put their businesses in the center of special marketing procedures. In addition, adapting to his/her needs according to their sex, age and socioeconomic level is important. Personal hygiene and professional appearance of the aesthetician is equally important.

Social media are web-based technology and social platform that involve social, personal and technological factors, which have triggered the development and evolution of website-based communities. Moreover, relevant web-based applications have also become the mainstream media for value creation and information exchange. The proliferation, convenience, and immediacy of social media have attracted many enterprises to adopt social media as a marketing tool. Among them, Electronic Word-of-Mouth (E-WoM), used mostly by vloggers (video bloggers), enables its users to review products and express their opinions on social media. Therefore, E-WoM has gradually become an important source of information for consumers, which influences their purchasing decisions. YouTube, a video sharing platform affiliated with Google, is a popular social media with tons of users. One of its most appealing and popular communities is Beauty Blogger, where beauty vloggers create and upload videos about beauty products. This study explored the impact of YouTube beauty vlogger on the attitude of Indonesian women towards locally made cosmetics and their willingness to purchase them. Based on the research results, relevant conclusions and recommendations were proposed which can be used as a reference for future research and practical applications.

Full textAbstract:
This project aims to unwrap some of the complexities related to female beauty and the body. It reflects on the second wave radical feminist view that beautifying the female body serves to attract male approval via the male gaze, both of which are deeply entrenched in patriarchal power. This perspective positions cosmetic surgery as a disempowering act for women. In riposte, we turn to third wave liberal feminist ideas to engage with the narratives of ten participants who tell of their personal experiences of, and motivations for, undergoing a cosmetic intervention. We undertake an in-depth exploration of these lifeworld experiences and the interplay of subjectivity and intersubjectivity in the women’s encounters. Findings suggest that a cosmetic intervention is often obtained for the self as opposed to satisfying the “other.” Importantly, cosmetic interventions allow a process to occur in which an individual’s physical body becomes better aligned to her sense of self. From this liberal feminist perspective, cosmetic surgery is positioned as an empowering act.

Рассматриваются понятия личного бренда, профессиональной идентичности, самоконструирования и трансляции образа себя в социальной сети. Проведён сравнительный анализ самопрезентации и построения блогерами личного бренда за рубежом и в России. Использован метод контент-анализа самопрезентации личного бренда бьюти- и фэшн-блогеров социальной сети Instagrаm, методологическая основа теории интеракционизма И. Гоффмана [2]. Было выявлено: для конструирования и укрепления образа «я» в представление «других» блогеры используют визуальные средства (фото/видео), а для расширения социальных взаимодействий блогеры используют технические возможности: Instagram-хэштеги, отметки пользователей и брендов. Исследование направлено на изучение личного бренда, профессиональной идентичности блогеров как новой профессиональной группы современного общества, а также позволяет сравнить способы самопрезентации личных брендов зарубежных и российских блогеров. The article discusses the concepts of personal brand, professional identity, self-construction and translation of self-image in a social network. The aim of the study is a comparative analysis of self-presentation and the creation by bloggers of a personal brand abroad and in Russia. The method of content analysis of self-presentation of the personal brand of beauty and fashion bloggers of the social network Instagram was used, the methodological basis of I. Hoffman's theory of interactionism [2]. As a result, it was revealed that bloggers use visual means (photos / videos) to design and strengthen the image of «I» in the representation of «others», and to expand social interactions, they use the technical capabilities of Instagram - hashtags, user and brand marks. This study fills the gaps in the study of personal brand, professional identity of bloggers as a new professional group of modern society, and also allows to compare the ways of personal presentation of personal brand of foreign and Russian bloggers.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, drawing on notions, such as harmful cultural practices and beauty, and based on semi-structured interviews with young female university students in Iran, perceptions and experiences on beauty practices and cosmetic surgery are studied. We show how despite existing criticism of the gendered aspects of beauty practices among Iranian women who practice them, they are still practiced on a large scale. In contemporary Iran, the female body as a contested space for expression of social capital is under influence by the globalized beauty standards that predominantly rely on Western beauty ideals. This article explores beauty practices and positions them in the religious and political discourses of body and corporality in contemporary Iran. This empirical study reveal that despite the popularity of particular practices in Iran, especially nose jobs, beauty is not perceived as a common good but as a necessary evil by young Iranian women. We discuss how beauty is perceived, articulated, practiced and potentially resisted by young women in Iran.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTUsing data from 96 hours of semi-structured interviews with women aged 61 to 92, this paper explores the meanings that older women attribute to beauty and aging. The women in my study tend to equate physical attractiveness with youthfulness and slimness. However, they reject the extremes of thinness embodied in today's fashion models and actresses. Even as they disparage obese individuals, the women argue that thin older women appear scrawny. The women express a preference for more rounded female bodies than current beauty standards allow and emphasize the importance of inner beauty. While some women view their wrinkles negatively, others suggest that their facial creases are badges of honour. I argue that older women do not simply internalize beauty ideals to the detriment of their sense of self. Rather, older women resist and challenge current ideals of feminine attractiveness and suggest alternative beauty ideals and definitions of personal desirability.

Full textAbstract:
According to the main changes which take place in the field of organization of tourism nowadays, the free
independent tourism should be considered as one of the most perspective directions of development not only
of touristic area but also of area of hospitality, culture and leisure. Because of active development of free
independent tourism the following positions have a special significance: the substantiation of methodological
approaches to definite its essence; to study of backgrounds of becoming and development of this kind of tourism
in Russia and abroad; to study not only the social and cultural aspects of free independent tourism as a
popular kind of personal activity in leisure but also to disclose its specific features. The disclosing of essence
and specifics of free independent tourism is very productive, at least, in two areas. On the one side, the free
independent tourism represents the dynamics of consumer behavior in the changing economic conditions and
leads to the greater independence from the touristic firms. On the other side, this kind of touristic activity has to
be considered not only in the system of forms and directions of human leisure activity, but also as an instrument
of satisfaction of wide spectrum of leisure needs and personal interest, and as a method of its enculturation.
The characterization of basic features of free independent tourism, the definition of its essence and function
in the context of social and cultural human activity disclose the new perspectives for all-round systemic study
of conditions of functioning of this kind of tourism and its further development. The free independent tourism
will evolve steadily and rapidly as one of kind of leisure industry, which is directed to satisfy and to develop the
personal needs for spiritual and cultural development, cognition, communication and recreation. The social
and cultural content is a qualitative characteristic of free independent tourism and the most important method
which allows joining the tourists with culture, to develop and to generate their new spiritual needs.

Full textAbstract:
Racial disparities in breast cancer are well-documented, and Black women assume a disproportionate burden of breast cancer mortality. Black women also commonly use hair products containing endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) more often at an increased rate, as compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Emerging findings have reported the use of hair and other personal care products containing EDCs may contribute to breast cancer risk. While some sociocultural perspectives about hair and identity have been explored, the role of beauty expectations upheld by males has not been studied. Through a community-based participatory methodology, we explored perceptions and beliefs held by Black men regarding Black women’s hair, chemical exposures in hair products, and breast cancer risk. Focus groups and key informant interviews—among men with and without partners with a history of breast cancer—were used to examine the male perspective regarding the attractiveness of Black hairstyles, opinions of beauty norms, and knowledge of breast cancer risk factors. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed guided by grounded theory methods. From the 66 participants interviewed, there was general support for natural hairstyles, which were associated with confidence and self-esteem in women. Men agreed that beauty standards and societal pressures play notable roles in the women’s personal behaviors though they mostly lacked knowledge of women’s breast cancer risk related to EDCs found in personal care products. Participants suggested a multipronged strategy centered on community education involving social and traditional media campaigns, and the engagement of policy makers in intervention efforts.

Full textAbstract:
To understand the meaning of kalokagathia one must take into account not the contemporary but the Greek theories of beauty and the good. Beauty in the Greek tradition had at least three significations: as an end in itself, as harmony, and what pleases as seen. The so conceived beauty comes to a very close relation with the moral goodness, especially with bonum honestum.Bonum honestum is also an end in itself, and, when other moral values are properly related to it, there is a harmony on the personal as well as on the social level. And finally, the moral goodness is something to be admired (it pleases as seen). The concept of kalokagathia, then, was at the core of morality, education and culture. It is too precious a pearl to be forgotten.

Full textAbstract:
Advertising has been present in people’s lives through strategies for the sale of products, satisfying their needs, and interacting with them. The advertising of beauty and feminine care products has been one of the most constant through the traditional formula of using stereotypical models of women highlighting their beauty and perfection. However, the evolution of advertising and the empowerment of women is generating new responses in consumers. Precisely, the purpose of this exploratory study is to identify the perception of Peruvian women on how advertising represents the ‘real woman’ in Peru in the field of beauty and personal care products. This study concludes that Peruvian women recognize that there is still a limited presence of ‘real women’ in advertising despite the widespread social demand for a change in the advertising discourse.

Full textAbstract:
Traumatic death rends the fabric of personal and social relations in a manner that is qualitatively different to other kinds of mortality. Mourners must deal with the personal affects, familial consequences and political aftermath of such events. This paper examines the way in which performances around such difficult deaths were used to express and negotiate trauma, through the lens of Iron Age burials in Britain and Ireland. It draws on performance theory developed in relation to contexts of violence to argue that such funerals embodied a necessary tension: articulating pain whilst working towards a re-making of the world. The paper makes an original contribution to the archaeological analysis and interpretation of funerary performance, and moves recent debates on violence in the Iron Age into a new arena of study.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of socio-economic context in affecting the relationship between personal values and the purchase of fair trade (FT) products. Design/methodology/approach The study was based on data and information collected by means of a web-administered survey and was performed in two steps. First, an explanatory factor analysis on the Schwartz value system and a confirmatory factor analysis on socio-economic context variables were carried out. Second, the per capita GDP at provincial level and the predicted factor scores were used in an ordered probit model to explain the expenditure level of FT products. Findings The results provide evidence that the value system has an effect on the consumption of FT products, but the economic context, in particular the average wealth at province level, is also relevant and plays a role by either affecting FT product purchasing levels directly or interacting with personal values. Research limitations/implications Because of the electronic submission and the specific channel used in the survey, the sample cannot be considered as representative of Italian consumers, and thus the analysis has a merely descriptive (non-inferential) function. Originality/value While several studies investigated how personal values affect consumers’ behaviour directly or indirectly, very few studies analysed the way socio-economic context interacts with the value structure and the way both aspects influence ethical consumption. The present study analyses this last aspect and provides evidence of the role economic context plays in affecting the relationship between personal values and FT products consumption.

Full textAbstract:
Reciprocity is here considered as an internalized social norm, and a questionnaire to measure individual differences in the internalized norm of reciprocity is presented. The questionnaire, Personal Norm of Reciprocity (PNR), measures three aspects of reciprocity: positive reciprocity, negative reciprocity, and beliefs in reciprocity. The PNR has been developed and tested in two cultures, British and Italian, for a total of 951 participants. A cross‐cultural study provides evidence of good psychometric properties and generalizability of the PNR. Data provide evidence for criterion validity and show that positive and negative reciprocators behave in different ways as a function of the valence (positive or negative) of the other's past behaviour, the type of feasible reaction (reward versus punishment), and the fairness of their reaction.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the Islamic fashion vlogger Dina Torkia’s book Modestly in terms of the ways in which it combines beauty and fashion advice and tutorials relating to modest fashion, hijab styling and cosmetics application. Through a critical discourse analysis of the book’s narrative and its many beauty- and fashion-based images, the article stresses how, having gained renown as a social media-based influencer and vlogger, Torkia’s book represents a remediated approach to communication practices of beauty and style advice. Hence, in a printed book form, Modestly consistently combines instruction with autobiographical content. In this regard, the article explores the differing ways that Modestly articulates expressions of Bourdieu’s concept of habitus in the context of modest Islamic fashion. This is explored in terms of the nature of the beauty and fashion instruction that is the main focus of the book, but also in how the autobiographical aspects of the text articulate Torkia’s self-reflections on cultural and sartorial habitus in relation to a Muslim lifestyle, modest dress and beauty conventions and changing perceptions and articulations of cultural hybridity and intersectional identity.
