@misc{_Fabrica_2022, copyright={Copyright by Uniwersytet Wrocławski, Wydział Nauk Społecznych, Instytut Socjologii}, address={Wrocław}, howpublished={online}, year={2022}, publisher={Instytut Socjologii Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego}, language={eng}, language={pol}, abstract={The fifth issue of the journal presents six articles that explore various research areas. These include the communication space of the market environment of the Polish agricultural producers; forms of communicating gender identity by transgender literary characters; the Adventist model of dietetics with the idea of intemperance firmly embedded in it; feminist cultures of knowledge produced by NGOs in Germany; the search for sociological perspectives to understand inter-regional marriages in the state of Haryana, India; and the exploration of reproductive control considered as an element of social control. The authors of these papers differ in terms of their research experience, the fields of study, and the discipline in which they move. Apart from the articles, the issue offers two essays: one by Natalia Chernysh and the other by Byron Gaist. Shortly after the Russian attack on Ukraine, sociologists from the University of Wrocław came into contact with sociologists from the University of Lviv. One of the joint initiatives was the newsletter, entitled Virtual Bridge Breslau-Lviv, which was published for months on the university website and was forwarded to sociological societies around the world. Natalia Czernysh has collected the most important information from the published newsletters, and they are now made available to readers: in the original and in Polish translation. Byron Gaist attempts to answer the question of how the virtual reality of social media has affected our self-image. Finally, in 2022, the National Sociological Congress took place in Warsaw for the eighteenth time. Three years earlier, the congress had been organized by the Wrocław sociological community. This issue includes transcriptions from two important events of the Wrocław congress: the opening lecture and the closing session of the congress.}, type={text}, title={Fabrica Societatis.
