It is with great pleasure that I would like to submit to your attention the call for chapters for the volume "Handbook of Research on Advanced Research Methodologies for a Digital Society" that can be found at this link: https://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/5090 In this edited handbook, we would like to bring together researchers from different disciplines and countries who engage in wide forms of reflection on the future of the research methods in the study of the digital society in its broadest sense. The overall aim is to start a debate that covers not only the different strands of methods most affected by the change, but above all to develop a broader theoretical reflection on the future of social research in its challenge to always be fitting, suitable, adaptable, and pertinent to the study of the digital society.

STRANGE LOOKS FOR ANOMALOUS TIMES The 21st century seems to have turned anomaly into a way of life. It all started with the Terror War, after the attack on the Twin Towers on September 11th, 2001, with which there was a considerable deterioration of the rights and political freedoms, as well as important changes in international relations. Later came the economic crisisof 2008, which did the samewith social rights, swept away at a stroke to save an economy increasingly speculative and producer of inequality. We are now immersed in a global pandemic, caused by the spread of an unknown virus, which is bringing an impoverishment of civil life as has not been seen since the time of the great wars. In all cases, the failure of security has freed different kinds of uncertainty and vulnerability that have ended up adding to each other, while the measures adopted by the Governments, relying on the expert knowledge provided by science, have barely solved anything

Bodies on the edge of citizenship, citizenship on the edge of pandemic?

CfP: Online conference ESPAnet 2021 - Stream: Citizen science and social innovation

The idea of the Editorial board of Sociološki pregled / Sociological Review is to speak once again about the topic of LGBT+ policy, both in Serbia and in the world, primarily from the sociological perspective. Is the class analysis applicable (at least partly) in the explanation of this phenomenon? Can the theories of the world capitalist system or concepts of (neo)imperialism, (neo)colonialism and cultural hegemony be used? What are true social effects (from demographic to cultural ones) of the so-called LGBT+ legislation in the “pioneer” countries? To what extent is such legislation actually subject to rational argumentation? Or is it rather an externally determined agenda in which the discussion field is still narrowed by the requirements for political correctness? However, these and other questions are waiting for sociological answers or at least for establishing theses and shaping platforms for further scholarly research.
