The 1996 Constitution of Ukraine: A reflection of the values of the political elite
(1999) Wynnyckyj, Mychailo
L'androgynie : inversion des sexes et des rôles dans les rituels du cycle familial
(2004) Mayertchyk, Mariïa
Lorsque, dans les coutumes de mariages, les époux revêtent les ornements réservés traditionnellement au sexe opposé, les ethnologues s’interrogent. Que signifient ces gestes ? Qu’en est-il en particulier pour les rites funéraires ? Quant aux rituels accompagnant la naissance, affaire de femme par tradition, les usages ukrainiens donnent au père un rôle marquant. Cependant, l’inversion et le brouillage de l’identité sexuelle ne semblent pas relever uniquement de rites folkloriques. Plus proches de nous dans le temps, certaines cultures semblent également chercher à se fonder sur ces codes paradoxaux.

Believers in the Ukrainian Orthodox Churches of Kyiv and Moscow Patriarchates: Sociodemographic Differentiation and Political Opinionsна
(2017) Bogdan, Olena
Based on survey data of Kyiv International Institute of Sociology for May 2016, this article compares believers of the two largest Ukrainian Churches - the Ukrainian Orthodox Churches of Kyiv and Moscow Patriarchates - in their essential sociodemographic characteristics, language preferences, national identity and opinions regarding desired Ukraine’s international policies. Data shows no statistically significant differences in age or urban-rural distributions. There are minor questionable differences in levels of education and income as well as preferred language of communication (significant with probability 0.95 but not 0.99). Despite differences in macroregional distribution, national identity and views on international policy, an overwhelming majority in both Churches consider themselves "only Ukrainian", without combining this identity with Russian or any other. While a noticeable degree of differentiation exists along the lines of Russian identity (not including language preferences) and desired relations with the Russian Federation, this difference can hardly be interpreted as principally divisive since there is a strong support for Ukraine’s independence among adherents of both Churches and noticeable levels of support for various policies within each of them.
Binarna opozycja semantyczna "tu" i "tam" w konstruowaniu wizji swiata pozagrobowego (faza przejscia). Region Karpat
(1996) Majerczyk, Maria; Hnatiuk, Ola
Mitologiczno-poetycka wyobraznia rozpatruje smierc czlowieka jako odejscie do innego swiata, wedröwke, dlugq droge. W schematycznym ujeciu te wiare w istnienie dwu swiatöw, granice ktörych pokonuje zmarly mozna opisac w kategoriach „tu” i „tam” . Dia scislejszego okreslenia rozlozymy te pojecia na szeregi bliskich synonimicznych znaczen. Kategoria „tu” zawiera w sobie znaczenie ten swiat, znane, bezpieczenstwo, obrona, zycie, uregulowanie. Jest to otoczenie, ktöre czlowiek widzi na co dzien, rozumie je i konstruuje z niego zwykty obraz swiata, „tu” czlowiek znajduje schronienie. Kategorie „tam” mozna rozlozyc na szereg antonimiczny do „tu” : swiat pozagrobowy, niepoznawalnosc, nieznane, niebezpieczenstwo, zagrozenie, dzikosc. Przytoczone antonimiczne opisowe szeregi wystepujq jako warianty pewnego arcyznaczenia, ktöre, dzieki laricuchowi synonimöw odkrywa sie nam w sensie bliskim do tego, ktörym jest ono obdarzone w granicach struktury swiadomosci pierwotnej.
Bridging sociology with anthropology and cognitive science perspectives to assess shared cultural knowledge
(2020) Maltseva, Kateryna
Following the cognitive revolution of the 1960s, cultural variation in behavior and knowledge has been a long-stand ing subject in social sciences. The "cognitive turn" in sociology brought to light many interesting issues and complex questions. The present publication addresses both theoretical and — to some extent — methodological challenges faced by the sociologists engaged in researching shared cultural variation within the culture-and-cognition research agenda, and compares it with the status quo in cousin social sciences that share the same cognitive perspective on culture. I specifically focus on the conceptual junctures that follow from the assumptions of shared cultural knowledge and intersubjectively shared cultural worldviews to highlight the important features of culture which can be effectively used for quantitative assessment of complex cultural processes. While I discuss various aspects of the findings and failings attributable to the culture-and-cognition research direction, my principal concern centers on encouraging more enhanced and sensitized interdisciplinary communication, as well as maximized intersections between cognitively oriented studies of culture in different social sciences, to bring the sociological studies of culture and cognition to full fruition.

Considering oneself (non)religious in Eastern European societies: correlation patterns among religiosity dimensions
(2017) Bovgyria, I.
While a number of current studies of religion are based on the religiosity dimension approach, in most cases, this approach is used only as a structural base for choosing an investigation level. At the same time, multidimensional approach can help us understand which combinations of religious manifestations are associated with self-identification as a religious person. The article presents analysis of empirical data with the aim to evaluate how various religiosity dimensions are related to identifying oneself as religious or non-religious and to investigate respective correlation differences in terms of direction and intensity in societies of Eastern Europe. It presents a comparative analysis of EVS survey results from 19 countries of Eastern Europe. It shows that, while all of the countries within the region have statistically significant positive correlations between religiosity dimensions and considering oneself (non)religious; correlation strengths differ so significantly that it is difficult to claim about unified pattern across all Eastern European societies. Comparative analysis of archived results allows to identify several clusters of countries within the region with common patterns in intensity of correlation between religiosity dimensions and considering oneself (non)religious. The differences in correlation profiles might be caused by historical and cultural background of the counties, their denominational structure and share of persons who consider one selves religious, character of cultural concept of ‘a religious person’ and linkage of religious identification with other identities in society.
CPSU and Komsomol Activists Within the Current Ukrainian Political Elite : Analysis of Biographies and Connections.
(2009) Kostiuchenko, Tetiana
In this paper, social networks perspective is applied to the analysis of biographies of the ex-Komsomol and ex-Party activists who are among of the Ukrainian political elite nowadays. There are two main questions to be answered: (i) whether these actors who are members of Ukrainian political elite have common biographical expe- rience they can rely on; (ii) whether their network positions make them in fluential, or are they so-called ‘central players’ within their subnetwork and overall network of political elite.
Cultural models and belief systems: detection and quantitative assessment of the threshold of shared collective knowledge
(2017) Maltseva, Kateryna
Researching collectively shared belief systems is one of the central tasks of social science. The goal of this article is to outline the quantitative options available to researchers of cultural models and, more generally, those options that can be used for measuring sharing due to culture. I begin by laying out major characteristics of cultural models and stress their definitive features that can guide the researchers in their selection of fitting measurement techniques and analytic procedures. Then I briefly discuss the intellectual history of the cultural models theoretical framework relevant to the emergence of the existing methodological diversity in this research niche. I consequently consider the internal properties of cultural models and review the corresponding methodologies currently in use for their elicitation and ethnographic interpretation. I evaluate their respective advantages and comment on usefulness of various quantitative options (both as an end product and as a stage in more complex integrative designs) in research on shared collective knowledge.

Distinguishing between individual and collective representations in values transmission
(2013) Maltseva, Kateryna
The present article examines the processes of values transmission and explores the mechanisms by which the stable pattern of intra-cultural variation in values is maintained. The research design distinguishes between values endorsed on individual and collective levels (i. e. values relevant to one’s personal priorities vs. cultural identity). Two studies conducted in New England (2007–2008) investigated the possibility that individual and collective level values (1) rely on different channels of transmission and (2) differ in the degree of sensitivity to family support and parental investment. Theoretical and methodological implications for quantitative analysis of values are discussed.
Divergent trajectories of the miners’ movements in Ukraine and South Africa
(2013) Рябчук, Анастасія
Стаття розглядає процес передачi цiнностей і, зокрема, механiзм, що забезпечує стабiльнiсть ïх iнтракультурноï варiацiï. Дослiдницький дизайн розрiзняє цiнностi, що iснують на iндивiдуальному та колективному рiвнях (окремо як концепти дотичнi до особистих пріоритетiв або культурного самовизначення iндивiда). У двох дослiдженнях, проведених у Новій Англії (2007–2008), було розглянуто гiпотези щодо можливостi iснування (1) рiзних каналiв передачi цiнностей для кожного з двох рiвнiв та (2) вiдмiнностей у ïх сензитивностi до таких чинникiв соцiалiзацiï, як атмосфера у сiм’ï та батькiвське ставлення. Також розглядаються можливi доповнення до сучасноï теорiï цiнностей та методiв ïх вивчення кiлькiсними засобами.

Fertility and Family Policies in Central and Eastern Europe after 1990
(2016) Frejka, Tomas; Gietel-Basten, Stuart; Курило, Ирина; Krimer, Borys; Aksyonova, Svitlina
This paper examines fertility and family policies in 15 Central and East European (CEE) countries to establish firstly, likely directions of cohort fertility trends for the coming decade; and secondly, to provide an overview and analysis of family policies in CEE countries, and to assess their impact on cohort fertility trends. Demographic analysis suggests that the cohort fertility decline of the 1960s cohorts is likely to continue at least among the 1970s birth cohorts; stagnation cannot be ruled out. Births that were postponed by women born in the 1970s were not being replaced in sufficient numbers for cohort fertility to increase in the foreseeable future, and shares of low parity women (childless and one child) were larger than shares of high parity women among the late 1960s cohorts than in older cohorts. Also, childbearing postponement which started in the 1990s is reflected in dramatic changes of childbearing age patterns. As period fertility rates have been increasing in the late 2000s throughout the region an impression of a fertility recovery has been created, however the findings of this project indicate that no such widespread childbearing recovery is underway. For the first time ever an overview and analysis of CEE family policies is conceptualized in this paper. It demonstrates that fertility trends and family policies are a matter of serious concern throughout the region. The following family policy types have been identified: comprehensive family policy model; pro-natalist policies model; temporary male bread-winner model; and conventional family policies model. The majority of family policies in CEE countries suffer from a variety of shortcomings that impede them from generating enhanced family welfare and from providing conditions for cohort fertility to increase. The likely further decline of cohort fertility, or its stagnation, may entail long-term demographic as well as other societal consequences, such as continuous declines in total population numbers, changes in age structures, as well as implications for health and social security costs.

Gender equality situation in Ukraine: challenges and opportunities
(2016) Martsenyuk, Tamara
Ukraine as a post-Soviet country has been in the process of transition to democratic institutions that also include gender component. European vector of integration plays important role in the defining values among which there is equality and fairness. Gender equality measures access of men and women into resources and possibilities to stand for their interests in all spheres of the social life.
Gender Issues in Ukraine: Were the EuroMaidan Protests Patriarchal or Egalitarian?
(2015) Martsenyuk, Tamara
The EuroMaidan protests that took place in Ukraine in 2013–2014 have greatly influenced public opinion, media, and politics. Women actively participated in these events – not just as "supporters" but also as "makers" of revolution. Still, the position of women in Ukrainian society is all but clear. Are there institutional mechanisms for gender equality that allow women to be publicly "visible" – as decision-makers and activists? How has the participation of women in the EuroMaidan protests been viewed? Are revolutions with nationalist themes necessarily patriarchal – or is it possible for women to participate on an equal footing?
Gender politics in Ukraine: Challenges of Europeanization
(2014) Martsenyuk, Tamara
The course aims to examine gender relations in the contemporary Ukrainian society (in comparative international perspective) and discuss of (possible) impact of Western (EU) influence on them. Gender (in)equality in the public (politics, labor market) and private (family) spheres in Ukraine are studied. Students are supposed to evaluate critically different researches of gender relations in Ukraine (conducted during large EU, UNDP etc. projects), main gender legislation adopted recently, international obligations of Ukraine towards implementation of equal rights and opportunities for women and men. Moreover, gender politics in EU will be discussed critically (based on experience of particular countries). For example, as it is argued in “Strategy for equality between women and men – 2010–2015”: “Women are under-represented in the decision-making process, both in parliaments and national governments and on management boards of large companies, despite making up half the workforce and more than half of new university graduates in the EU.” The question is: What should be done on different levels by different actors (EU, member states, NGOs etc.) to change (improve) situation? It will be stressed on reconciliation of work, private and family life that is recognized at the EU level as an important priority for achieving gender equality and to facilitate women’s possibilities to take part in political life. Both negative and positive trends, challenges and opportunities in the recent Ukrainian politics that are connected with gender equality implementation issues will be discussed. Besides, particular course topics will be devoted to LGBT issues; gender intersection with ethnicity / nationality (Roma women problems). Course will have mainly sociological perspective. International and national reports, public opinion surveys, legislation, research etc. will be critically analyzed. Moreover, besides Sociology, course intersects such majors as Political studies, Area studies (Eastern European / Post-Soviet, European Union Studies), Human rights studies and others.
