Title: Банският костюм като визуален израз на представата за лично пространство Authors: Петкова, Магдалена; Petkova, Magdalena Abstract: Bathing Suit as a Visual Expression of the Concept of Personal Space The article examines the relation between the emergence and development of the idea of personal space, on the one hand, and the transformation of dress norms, on the other. The concept of personal space is used to signify the movable territory of inviolability which each person preserves in their contact with others, regardless of the characteristics of the social space in which they are situated. The gradual confirmation of the norm of social and legal inviolability of the person in the last two centuries has resulted in significant changes in the socially acceptable dress codes. Clothing gradually lost some of its significance as a symbolic barrier between the person and the others. The article analyses the results of this process, such as the tendency towards reduction of the length, volume, and number of layers of clothes worn on one's body. This will be illustrated using a historical study of the bathing suit from the 18th century to the present.

Title: Неравенствата като политически език Authors: Христов, Тодор; Hristov, Todor Abstract: The paper presents the findings of a study of the legitimacy of social inequalities in the contemporary Bulgarian society. The discussion hovers around three unexpected observations of the study – the dominance of the economic inequality in the respondents’ accounts, the waning of their normative expectations, the erosion of the difference between socialism and capitalism, and the anticipation of a revolution to come. The paper proposes two alternative accounts of those observations, one from the perspective if structural functionalist versions of the Bulgarian sociology of stratification, and one from the perspective of what Foucault called racial wars.

Title: Биополитика и социални неравенства Authors: Христов, Момчил; Hristov, Momchil Abstract: The paper attempts to outline a domain which could be constituted by the intersection of the theme of biopolitical rationality, technology and mechanisms with the theme of social inequalities. It is not grounded on a particular case study, but mostly on a critical survey over a relevant literature. Thus the present text is rather a sketch, a broad outline of a research field which is still shaping itself. First I present briefly the concept of biopolitics and the way it operates in Foucault’s work, in order to show its potential relevancy for the comprehension of the political uses and production of some forms of social inequality. Secondly I present the same concept after the transformations it has undergone in order to be applied on such domains as biomedicine, biotechnology, molecular biology, genetics, genomics, biobanks, bioinformatics, etc., illustrating it with some examples connected to new forms of social inequality. Instead of conclusion I raise some questions which aim is to reorient the attention on the notion of biosocial inequalities.

Title: Процеси на европеизация в политиката за хора с увреждания в България Authors: Коева, Светлина; Koeva, Svetlina Abstract: Тhe Open Method of Coordination ist the main regulatory instrument in the European social policy especially in the areas of employment, social inclusion and social protection. The aim of this article is to examine its impact upon the social inclusion process of people with disabilities in Bulgaria. From that perspective it focuses first and foremost on the legal framework of the disability policy in Bulgaria as a necessary local precondition for the functioning of the OMC. The analysis of the OMC itself scrutinizes the outcomes of two main OMC-instruments: the Joint Inclusion Memorandum and the first National Action Plan on Social Inclusion and Social Protection (2006-2008) as well as the problems surrounding the OMC-agenda due to the Bulgarian institutional context.
