In some of the canonical prose texts in Bosniak literature, such as “Tvrđava” by Meša Selimović, ”HodžaStrah” by Derviš Sušić, “Sarajevski nekrologij” by Alija Nametak and “Šehid” ba Zilhad Ključanin,addressing new historical enthusiasm, the form of necrology appears as an appropriate expressive formof legitimising identity continuities (which have been strongly disputed). In criticism, this form hasrightfully marked as a cultural memory act (genre quotation) of metatextual actualisation of MulaMustafa Bašeskija’s “Ljetopis”. His chronicles represent a classic secret writing, even for the authorhimself a highly compromettant and exclusively targeting the generations to come. The witness-writerposition based on that, relieved Bašeskija from the obligatory outreach to general places and conventionalfigures which were legitimised by the then authors through their writing skills. The anticipatory characterand comfort of the free thought within a secret writing reached, as per certain elements, the intimacywith what is marked in European tradition as Bacon’s Revolution, which assumes resistance to hierarchyin which the life of the warrior or the ruler is focused on the ethics of honour or glory, was incomparablewith the lives of “lower class” people and the ethics of dignity.

Among the key determinants of the profession of social work is the provision of assistance and empowerment of people with mental health disorders. The fact that social workers meet with patients diagnosed with some forms of mental disorders on a daily basis needs to find the most appropriate approach to improve the quality of life of the patients, which places social workers on new challenges that they will try to respond in the coming period. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the role of social workers in dealing with patients with mental disorders, the most commonly encountered difficulties and the most important of their resources in dealing with these patients. Social workers are increasingly recognized as important members of the team, working with people with various forms of mental disorders. The implementation of social work in health care institutions is very often closely related to social psychiatry, most often in the area of sociocultural processes and mental illness. Social workers are obliged to provide expert opinion to the patient and his / her family and to show appropriate skills in the intervention of social relations between the patient and the family. Social contact with persons with mental disorders should take place in the direction of reducing the negative attitude of the environment, eliminating stigmatizing factors. Based on this, we can expect significantly better results in recognizing the disease and early diagnosis, treatment and ultimate outcome of better quality integration of people with mental disorders in the society. Particularly important integration component in the environment is work. Functional functioning is the fundamental basis of psychiatric rehabilitation as it promotes activity and social contacts, as well as self-esteem and quality of life, leading to social integration and independence, which is one of the essential components for successful recovery of the patient. The discussion on this topic seeks to contribute to the further strengthening of the professional identity of social work, which is currently unfavorable, giving this profession an inadequate role within a relatively narrow space between administrative and psychosocial action.

The paper deals with historical development of literature teaching methodology in Bosnia and Herzegovina with a special focus on development of literature teaching methodology as a university course at the Faculty of Philosophy in Sarajevo, where most of the specialists in this field in Bosnia and Herzegovina come from. The paper also presents a wider South-Slavic context in which literature teaching methodology in Bosnia and Herzegovina developed. Most of the time, it had colonial, peripheral and provincial status compared to literature teaching methodology centres in Zagreb and Belgrade. The paper is self-critical, trying to incite this discipline to exit the academic and intellectual exile it has long been in.

The role of menager as the most responsible persons of enterprises, organizations and institutions is inevitable in ensuring efficient management process in system of social welfare. The Manager performs control, coordinates, directs, and provides decision. Its activities undoubtedly have a crucial impact on the results achieved and the future development of the institution. The prerequisites for the realization of successful management in social care institutions are still effective execution of its core functions: planning, organizing, leading and controlling. These management functions depend on the organizational structure and the functional linkages between participants in the governance process. However, in smaller organizations and institutions, such as instituttion in social welfare system, management process is often the most dependent on the manager’s knowledge, skills and personal characteristics. Being a manager in an social welfare institution means to be the first and most responsible in the implementation of a number of processes, such as the exercise of rights, management of professional practices, service planning and budget management tasks and working time, the development of human resources, contracting services, establishing cooperation with partners , monitoring and evaluation work. In addition to the personal qualities of managers, the menagement psrocess in social institutions is affected with working environment and needs of beneficiaries of protection. Field of social protection is marginalizated, whitch presents a big problem. The chronic lack of financial resources, interference of political interests, intensifying social needs of citizens, lack of skilled personnel are factors that further complicate the management process in the institution. Managers of social welfare institutions must seek the path between the interests of users and the state; between the general and the individual; between the profession and individual interests; between the expected and possible. This situation leads managers in social welfare institutions from a very difficult mission: how to achieve good business results and not undermine the basic objectives of the activity of the institution. The paper describes the specifics of management in social welfare institutions, the current problems of management and assumptions for the successful management in institutions of the social welfare system. Special role of the personal competencies needed in the management and selection of competent persons as managers in social welfare institutions are problematize in a paper. Special attention was paid to managers role and tasks in center for social work and in institutions for placement and care. Finally, the paper offers recommendations for successful management, as well as identified tasks that successful manager needs to fulfill.

Family is the most considered etiological factor discussed by the researchers who focus on the understanding of the genesis of the eating pathology found among young people. Results of the theoretical and empirical research show the link between different family variables and development of the above mentioned pathology. The main goal of this assignment is to analyze the results of the previous theoretical and empirical research, as well as the clinical practice experience about the connection between different family variables and development of subclinical and clinical features of the eating pathology. The conducted analysis showed that the research focused on contribution of family factors on the development of eating pathology can be classified in several basic directions: the research focused on the analysis of the genetical factors, family eating habits (transmission of the evasive eating habits through generations, the research focused on psychological analysis of family interaction; the role of perceived dimensions of parental behaviour and parental functionality and finally the research focused on the analysis of the contribution of the family structure itself. It can be concluded that even though there is a significant number of research focused on the analyses of the individual contribution of already mentioned variables on the development of individual types of clinical and subclinical eating disorders, unambiguos data about forms of parental behaviour and functionality have not been found yet. Theanalysis of the contribution of family variables and subclinical forms of eating disorders makes these results even more complicated. Generally speaking, there should be more of them in the future.

Time of digital platforms, that in a certain way marked the beginning of the third millennium, is characterized by growing influence both traditional and new media. From the standpoint of the media influence on creation of personal attitudes, but also of public opinion, we can not ignore the increasing need for media literacy of citizens. In recent years, media literacy is an important part of media policy and media regulation of the European Union. In determining the concept of media literacy, it is necessary to point out the difference between digital literacy as skill of using software and computers, and media literacy as a critical attitude towards manipulation and propaganda. Through both definitions of media literacy, the requirement for continuous improvement within the school, but also within other subsystems of society permeates. Is there an illusion of media literacy in Serbia? Problem of the research is reflected in the question: How high school students evaluate their media literacy? The study sample consisted of200 “First Kragujevac High School” students in Kragujevac. For the collection and processing of data “Media literacy scale - SMP - NS” (Mihić and Kodžopeljić, 2011) was used. The research results indicate that media literacy among high school students is not satisfactory.

The socio-historical substance of the twentieth century marked it by, among other things, as the century of genocide. If the 21st century is a century of knowledge, and it should be, there is a legitimate question: how to prevent growing destructive processes in society with knowledge, including genocide, which indeed, is the most destructive and whose destructiveness is focused directly on the sanctity of human life as the ultimate good and value in general. The research shows that genocide as “the greatest evil” is necessary to explain scientifically through a separate science of genocide. In order for the constituted science of genocide, in addition to scientific explanation of genocide as a destructive social phenomenon, at the same time, to be in a function of social prevention of future genocide, it is necessary to include it in curricula, so that pupils and students become familiar with the laws of development of genocide and its destructive consequences for the survival and progress of society as a social fact “sui generis”.

The paper elaborates challenges and perspectives of social work in the context of possibilities and limitations in implementation of social work in a local community. A research was carried out in social centers and local self-government authorities in Tuzla Canton, and results (still unpublished) were presented in this paper. The document also includes stances and experiences of heads of municipalities, managers of social centers and social workers in Tuzla Canton, in regard to realistic and concrete possibilities. Based on the gathered data, revealed were important aspects of social work in a local community with limitations. In this regard, possibilities and limitations were observed in the scope of legal framework; characteristics of social policy in Bosnia-Herzegovina; economic, social and political context; organization of social centers, theoretical and practical approach and current model of social work; actions and activities; cooperation, initiative, support and involvement of citizens in social issues. The paper identified problems and preconditions for implementation of social work in a local community. With respect to the importance and role of social work in a local community, to needs, interests and motivation, to possibilities and preconditions, the first challenge – which also shapes a future perspective of implementation of social work in a local community – is to abandon a declarative and neglecting approach and embrace more serious and systematic approach that will focus on a practical side of social work in a local community. Practical aspect of social work has not been well-recognized in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Furthermore, social work in a local community, being a separate and a specific method, has not been sufficiently utilized by social workers. General conclusion of the research is that social work in local communities in Bosnia-Herzegovina has been implemented partially, unsystematically, in an ad hoc manner, without continuity when it comes to certain activities, without mentioning social work in a local community, and without participation of its main actors – social workers.
