"A vallási élet elemi formái"-tól "A média rítusai"-ig: durkheimi fogalmak a kommunikációelméletben

Author(s): Eszter Bartha / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 18/2012

The essay gives a critical review of The Rituals of the Media by Lajos Császi. It seeks to showhow the Durkheimian sociology of religion can be applied to the modern communicationtheory and what perspectives such a combination can store for sociology. The mediahas a significant impact on the formation of public opinion; therefore, its rituals deservea special attention. However, the opinion forming power of the media depends on thesocial structure and the movement of the masses. Today even ordinary people can broadcastInternet TV-programmes and we have not even mentioned the technical possibilitiesoffered by the various social network sites. It is not only the technical competence, whichdetermines whether a given opinion will remain embedded in a narrow subculture or itsucceeds to move the masses, which was a well-loved catchword of the 20th century

"Informacija" i teorija komunikacije - Bilješke za buduću povijest tog koncepta

Author(s): Hanno Hardt / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 01/1987

A historical analysis of the concept of information, within communication theory, begin with its determining as a historical framework, a socio-cultural context for the study of media and communication; information as knowledge, and communication as the integration and transformation of the different segments of society. Information is defined as a form of practical knowledge in the process of change and the realization of a democratic society. With the stressing of a scientific, empirical, analysis of society the scientific status of information is getting stronger. Such an approach relies on the model patterns of analysis with a stress on cybcrnetical and mathematical problems. More ambitious, globally directed approaches connect this approach with general system theory. A fundamental limitation of this model conception of information manifests itself in the production of distorted images of social reality and of complex human interaction.

"Простите, я никак не могу понять": способы реагирования на непонимание во взаимодействии человека и робота

Author(s): Andrei Korbut / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 3/2018

The article discusses how the non-understanding that arises during human-robot interaction is managed. The focus is on the ways humans respond to the open expression of non-understanding by robots, as well as of non-understanding that the robot itself does not “realize.” The methodological framework of the research is an ethnomethodological conversation analysis that presupposes the identification of the ways of producing local social order in the sequences of actions. By analyzing the conversations between callers and robot (it is actually a chatbot, but official term for it is “robot”) in a Russian telephone information service, I show that, instead of non-understanding being a negative phenomenon consisting in lack of understanding, non-understanding is a situational and coordinated achievement of the participants in the interaction. The article identifies two types of conditions of non-understanding between human and robot: institutional (related to the specific organizational context in which the interaction takes place and which is produced in it) and interactional (related to the organization of interaction). Based on a detailed analysis of transcripts of human-robot telephone conversations, five ways of responding to non-understandings are distinguished: changes in the acoustic characteristics of utterances (raising the voice level, slowing down, expanding pauses, etc.); expanding the initial statement (for example, by introducing explanatory words); reducing utterances to “key” words; ignoring non-understanding; and adding explanations. At the same time, people not only react to the non-understanding by the robot after its occurrence but also actively anticipate it, building their turns in a way understandable to the robot.

"ТЕАТР ДЛЯ ДІАЛОГУ": НА ПЕРЕТИНІ З АКТИВІЗМОМ І ТЕРАПІЄЮ?

Author(s): Olha Velymchanytsia / Language(s): Ukrainian / Issue: 1/2015

This paper deals with a theatrical practice that became widespread during the events of Euromaidan – "Theatre for Dialogue". The studying of Augusto Boal’s "Theatre of the Oppressed" technique, which is the basis of "Theater for Dialogue", is primary in the analysis. "Theatre of the Oppressed" is not purely theatrical phenomenon – it lies at the inter-section of activism and social therapy. Being the reaction on the totalitarian regime in Brazil, "Theatre of the Oppressed" technique has become widespread all over the world, mainly in the areas with military and civil conflicts. So as soon as Ukrainian people faced severe social and political challenges, this theatrical technique reached our cities through its practitioners from different countries.

(In)Communication chronophage : esquisse d’une microdystopie de l'accélération en réseaux

Author(s): Antonio Fernández Vicente / Language(s): French / Issue: 02/2016

This paper studies the techno culture of acceleration from a sociological and genealogical perspective. It is a question of micro-power that transforms the social network Utopia into an autorestrainted Dystopia. The synchronisation with the others leads us to a communication flux 24/7. Therefore, the right to communicate throughout the social network becomes a horizontal implied must in order to join in the multiples conversations in real time. The permanent actualisation becomes a necessity and the user a time consumer. In a society where time is accelerated, communication turns structurally into incommunication.

(Ne)vjerodostojnost medijske reprezentacije kulture: od političke manipulacije do strategije skandala

Author(s): Nina Ožegovic / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 13/2018

The paper analyzes the media representation of cultural content in Croatia during the transition period, with particular emphasis on selectivity and ideological coloration, as well as the market condition of these contents in mass media. The paper establishes that the process of transformation of media content passes through three phases, and that each phase introduces new models, mechanisms and principles in presentation of culture on the press pages. These new models range from the model of political manipulation to cultural content and the individual’s satanization through the scandal’s strategy to media staging and theatricalization of the reality affecting the (non) credibility of information and the creation of public opinion.

A 3-FACTOR MODEL RELATING COMMUNICATION TO RISK MITIGATION OF EXTENDED INFORMATION SYSTEM FAILOVER

Author(s): Athanasios Podaras / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2015

This paper aims to analyse the relation between timely and effective communication and risk mitigation of late recovery after an unexpected information system outage in enterprises. An unforeseen information system failure in modern enterprise units, may result to significant operational and financial damage. In such a critical incident, effective communication between the team leaders and the recovery team involved, can minimize or even eliminate this negative impact. An extended information system outage can be perceived as a time deviation from the Maximum Accepted Outage (ΜΑΟ) timeframe, proposed by the business continuity management, according to the value of which dependent business functions may be interrupted without any serious effects to the company. The paper examines the relation between 3 basic factors and the efficient communication between team members. The factors are: timely information distribution, staff availability and network availability. Through the current paper, the author proposes a risk analysis model, based on the Composite Risk Index theory of Risk Management, which can significantly diminish the possibility of an extended information system outage, as well as calculate the extended time required to recover a system when the aforementioned factors emerge in their worst form. The precise calculation of recovery time can be achieved via the execution of business continuity tests which include scenarios, according to which an unexpected system outage coexists with delayed information distribution as well as low staff and network availability.

A comparative study of form-focused and communicative methods of language teaching in ESP courses

Author(s): Amin Karimnia,Mahmood Khosravani / Language(s): English / Issue: 12/2018

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the use of communicative methods and form-focused methods as implemented in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses. To accomplish this, two groups of management students were selected for the study. Each group consisted of 30 participants. Their level of proficiency in English and their subject matter knowledge were tested through a sample of IELTS and a pre-test. The two groups were at the same level of proficiency in both general English and English for Students of Management before receiving treatment in 20 sessions within a period of 75 days. Participants in Group A received a form-focused method with some occasional uses of their L1. In Group B, however, the participants were exposed to a communicative ESP course which exclusively relied on English the L2. After the period of treatment, the two groups were examined via a post-test. Results showed that Group B was more successful in the post-test. Moreover, the learners who were proficient in English and the subject matter achieved more from the communicative methods of language teaching in the ESP course. Findings imply that the nature of the subject matter, or whether it is theoretical or applied, could be a factor in deciding a method of language teaching for ESP courses.
