This chapter focuses on the risks that are perceived to threaten the home. Not only do problems like burglary loom large in a fearful public imagination, contemporary life presents us with new problems and terrors which may invade the home, for example identity theft, predatory paedophiles, telesales and so on. The longstanding legal importance of boundaries indicates the difficulties of ensuring control over the undisturbed privacy of the home. The chapter discusses the extent to which homeownership can ensure absolute control, as against the powers of the state as well as against neighbours and varied invasions of privacy.

In chapter 2, Frank considers the group's first show, its critical reception, and the artists’ journey to France shortly after the show closed. He compares Nueva Figuración with European engaged styles of figural painting, such as Un art autre, which influenced the group, at first, to name itself “Otra Figuración.” Discussing the political and sociocultural context of Nueva Figuración, Frank closely examines Ernesto Deira's artistic response to anti-Semitism and the trial of Nazi fugitive Adolph Eichmann and goes on to consider Rómulo Macció's response to the State of Siege in his painting Cárcel = Hombre (Prison = Man). He then compares the politically engaged New Figurationists with other contemporaneous Argentine artists, such as Emilio Renart and Ruben Santantonín, whose works make little reference to contemporary life and with Antonio Berni, whose social references are more explicit than those of Nueva Figuración. The chapter closes on discussion of how the group's trip to Paris pushed their styles toward greater expressive freedom.

Absolute Control

The economic sovereignty of the state means that the people are free to manage their national wealth, to freely determine the ways of using their natural resources for the purposes of economic and social development. At the same time, "the economic sovereignty of the state is a set of formalized rights to make decisions independently within the powers in the economic sphere" [1, 16]. It means exercising absolute control over its natural resources and taking internal control of the activities of any enterprise in all sectors of the economy. Uzbek economist M.N. Yusupova [2, 7-9] argues that the basis of economic sovereignty is not material resources and wealth, but labor resources, which is an important factor in the national awakening.

В статье рассматриваются проблемы становления педагогического обра- зования в Северной Осетии в первые десятилетия советской власти. Государственная политика в сфере образования проводилась, исходя из экономических и идеологических задач нового политического режима. Политизация общественной жизни, борьба с инако- мыслием, всеобъемлющая идеологическая цензура, абсолютный контроль государства – эти и другие явления данного периода были характерны и для сферы высшего образо- вания. В статье впервые, на основе партийных документов, рассматриваются вопросы взаимодействия органов власти и образования. The article examines the problems of the formation of pedagogical education in North Ossetia in the fi rst decades of Soviet power. The state policy in the fi eld of education was carried out proceeding from the economic and ideological tasks of the new political regime. The politicization of public life, the fi ght against dissent, comprehensive ideological censorship, absolute control of the state: these and other phenomena of this period were characteristic of the sphere of higher education as well. The article, for the fi rst time, on the basis of party documents, examines the issues of interaction between the authorities and education.

This paper analyzes the hardening religious difference in contemporary Canadian society and explains why the presence of Muslims, including new converts, constantly incites in the public imagination the primordial threat of Islam to the secular accomplishments of Canadian society. Relying on the available data and previous research on the historical formation of the secular in Canada, the author attempts to detect a paradox within the state-lead politics of recognition that unintentionally creates the conditions for new communal conflicts” (warna kuning) diubah menjadi “Relying on the available data and previous research on the historical formation of the secular in Canada, the author attempts to detect a paradox within the statelead politics of recognition that unintentionally creates the conditions for new communal conflicts. By using an inductive generalization, the author argues that the perceived incompatibility between Islam and secular values is derived not so much from cultural and theological differences or actual political threats posed by Muslims or Indigenous converts. It instead emanates from the self-understanding of the majority of Canadians that defined the nation as essentially Christians and simultaneously secular.

‘Citizenship, legal status, and proof of identity: identity as a legal concept’ explains that individual identity is the cornerstone of the rule of law and the relation of state and citizen. In law, it has to do with that which makes a person (or thing) distinct from any other person (or thing). It means that a subject is the same as it claims, or is charged, to be. The digital turn has added a new aspect to our legal identity, and protecting us against identity theft is a new obligation of the state, while we have no choice but to learn to protect ourselves against profit-seeking corporations, on the one hand, and a surveillance state, on the other.

Among Joel Feinberg's almost innumerable achievements are his development and defense of the sovereign-right conception of autonomy and its corresponding rejection of hard legal paternalism. According to Feinberg, a competent individual's voluntary, self-regarding conduct falls within the protected realm of sovereign self-rule and is therefore immune from coercive, paternalistic interference by the state. It does not matter whether the self-harm the state wants to prevent is big or the coercion needed to prevent it is small. The coercive interference would be illegitimate because “sovereignty is an all or nothing concept; one is entitled to absolute control of whatever is within one's domain however trivial it may be.”

This chapter explores the limits and implications of modern traditionalism in contemporary Qatar, how it enriches certain populations to the detriment of others. Because modern traditionalism is intended to fortify national identity, it may inadvertently sustain some of the social conditions it was designed to alleviate. Elite Qataris employ modern traditionalism for their own purposes and in ways the state does not necessarily intend. For other populations, there are limits to the narrative’s potential to address contemporary life in Doha. While there are signs of progress, Qatar’s leaders systematically restrict basic forms of expression. This includes censorship of independent news outlets, arresting journalists, and shuttering the Doha Centre for Media Freedom. Regardless, many Qatari citizens are optimistic about the nation’s future.
