‘Good Comedy’ and the Limits of Humour

Author(s): Helena Popović / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2018

The article includes an overview of theoretical approaches to comedy and its social function and outlines the results of an empirical research on television audience reception of it. Even though the tolerance for specific faux pas in comedy and humour is stretched due to its communicative amusement value, they often transgress this line and initiate debates on the limits of humour. This is why this area is useful when researching and detecting norms and values in a specific socio-historical context. More specifically, the article outlines the result of an empirical research on audience reception of Da Ali G Show, a television comedy, that provocatively triggers debate on the limits of humour in contemporary society. Semi-structured interviews were carried out in two different settings: London/ United Kingdom and Zagreb/Croatia in order to assess the way the audiences discursively construct ‘good comedy’ and the limits of humour. The article serves as a contribution to the understanding of the complex nature of comedy and its reception in different socio-cultural settings.

“The Past Is Never Dead”. Identity, Class, and Voting Behavior in Contemporary Poland

Author(s): Krzysztof Jasiewicz / Language(s): English / Issue: 04/2009

This article presents a summary of analyses addressing the changing patterns of voting behavior in post-communist Poland as a context for examination of the issue of the relationship between regions defined by history (eighteenth-century partitions, border shifts after WWII) and contemporary forms of voting behavior. In the 1990s, the dominant cleavage in Polish politics was the one between the post-Solidarity and postcommunist camps, and the best predictor of voting behavior was one’s religiosity. In the first decade of the twenty-first century, this cleavage has been replaced by another, between the liberal, pro-European orientation and the more Euro-skeptic, populist attitudes. The empirical evidence seems to suggest that one end of the populist–liberal continuum is relatively well defined and represents the traditional system of values, which defines Polish national identity in terms of ethnic nationalism, strong attachment to Catholic dogmas, and denunciation of communism as a virtual negation of those values. The other end of this continuum is defined more by rejection of this nationalistic-Catholic “imagined community” than by any positive features. This article examines the relative role of identity-related factors (e.g., religiosity or region) and determinants based on one’s socioeconomic (class) position in shaping voting patterns in the 2007 elections to the Polish Sejm and Senate. The empirical data come from a postelection survey, the Polish General Election Study 2007.

“We Might Give People a Sense of the Magnitude of the Problem”: On the Truth Discourse about Violence against Women in the First Phase of Polish #MeToo (#JaTeż) Action (October 2017) on Facebook

Author(s): Paweł Bagiński / Language(s): English / Issue: 17/2019

This paper considers how a truth discourse about violence against women was produced with the #JaTeż posts published on Facebook between 16 and 20 October 2017, during the first phase of Polish #MeToo. It applies a post-Foucauldian perspective of dispositive analysis to outline how the circulation of #MeToo (#JaTeż) in social media affected the patriarchal dispositive of gender, which had to give way to women speaking truth. The replication of posts and accumulation of affects in the #MeToo (#JaTeż) network allowed the normalisation of violence against women in public discourse to be countered. Michel Foucault’s work on parrhesiastic and confessional modes of truth-telling is employed to analyse courage and solidarity in #MeToo (#JaTeż), as well as to connect individual engagement in the action with the collective claim for a normative shift in favour of women’s rights.

“We’re holding the town’s mirror”: the self-referential discourses of the local newspaper Camden Advertiser during the controversy over a proposed Islamic School

Author(s): Caitlin Parr / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Local newspapers are a unique part of the media landscape, tasked with informing the community of events and issues in their immediate area and providing them with the knowledge they need to understand complex social issues. Despite advances in digital technologies, “newspapers remain a primary and vital component of the newsgathering infrastructure” (Clarke, 2014, p. 8). Therefore, the power of local print newspapers to build connections with and influence their communities makes them valuable sources for analysis. This chapter offers a discursive analysis of self-referential discourses utilised by the Camden Advertiser during reports on a controversial Islamic School proposal in Camden, Western Sydney, NSW, Australia. Self-referential is used here to describe the ways in which the Camden Advertiser referenced its own name, its journalists, and reflected on previously published newspaper content during the Islamic school debate.

РЕПРЕЗЕНТАЦИЯ МИГРАЦИОННЫХ ПРОЦЕССОВ В ГАЗЕТНОМ ДИСКУРСЕ РЕСПУБЛИКИ ТАТАРСТАН

Author(s): Lily Ravilevna Nizamova / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 6/2014

Having studied the content of the articles from 12 newspapers of the Republic of Tatarstan, published in 2013–2014, we revealed the peculiarities of representation of migration inflow to the Republic and identified thematic priorities, typical patterns and methods of constructing the image of migrants. We proved the idea that the mass media (including newspapers) is a mediator of stereotypes and prejudice towards migrants, which are common in Russian society partially due to the predominance of “restrictive and repressive” migration discourse in the media.

РИЈАЛИТИ KАО МЕДИЈСKА ДОKТРИНА РЕKОНСТРУKЦИЈЕ СВЕСТИ ПРЕKО ШТАМПЕ

Author(s): Radivoje Petrović,Predrag Đ. Bajić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 172/2019

Ријалити телевизијски садржаји, као савремени спектакли потрошачког друштва, имају доминантну улогу на појединим комерцијалним телевизијама с националном фреквенцијом у Србији, док су таблоиди, познати по сензационализму и банализацији, постали њихова „продужена рука”, експонент њихових вредности. У фокусу рада налазе се дневни листови у Србији, односно различити ријалити садржаји на њиховим насловним странама, с намером да се кроз квантитативну и квалитативну анализу насловних страна осветли на којим принципима, којом комуникационом технологијом и с каквим циљем домаћа штампа промовише ријалити вредности. Резултати показују јасну дистинкцију између озбиљне штампе и таблоида, који подижу степен ријалитизације друштва и директно учествују у процесу преусмеравања пажње јавности. Такође, компарацијом с ранијим истраживањима показано је да то није изолован случај у изабраном периоду већ континуирана појава. Ријалити садржаји, какве имамо прилике да видимо на домаћој сцени, све тривијалнији и баналнији из сезоне у сезону, постају све опаснији по моћ рационалног расуђивања њихових корисника и посматрача, на телевизији и у штампи, па због свега наведеног могу да се посматрају и кроз смисао „подешавања свести”.

Рокерската субкултура в малкия град

Author(s): Zlatina Bogdanova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 4/2019

The paper presents a review of the rocker subculture in Bulgaria, describing and interpreting its elements from the perspective of subcultural studies. The research is focused on the development of a local subculture in the context of a small town(Asenovgrad), where an influential community of rockers has been formed since the mid-1990s. Starting with the premise that the youth subculture is both a supranational and local phenomenon, the local subcultural identity of rockers is reviewed and analyzed in reference to their narratives, practices, club membership rules and ethics. The museum of the rockers in Asenovgrad “The people with bikes“ (2011 – 2017)is considered as a special case of the public representation of the subculture through artefacts and settings symbolic of the ideas behind the rockers’ world brotherhood.

РУССКИЙ МИФ В СЛАВЯНСКОМ ФЭНТЕЗИ

Author(s): Tatyana Nikolaevna Breeva / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 2/2015

The paper discusses the specificity and mechanism of construction of the Russian myth in the Slavic fantasy at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The sociopolitical context provoking actualization of the Russian myth is analyzed. The variants of its presentation and simulation peculiarities are described. The Russian myth is constructed based on three main lines. First, the system of traditional national identificators is reconsidered in the Slavic fantasy. Secondly, a new pantheon of national heroes is formed, thereby invoking the narratives of Oleg and Vladimir. Thirdly, the process of national reidentification based on the revision of national auto- and heterostereotypes is widely represented.

Семантични манипулации в публичния дискурс

Author(s): Martin Tabakov / Language(s): English,Bulgarian / Issue: 5/2017

The article discusses semantic manipulations in which manipulative suggestions are made using specially selected words. Some of these examples of manipulations have become established and are very hard to refute. The notions of “left-wing” and “right-wing” are mutually related mainly in terms of state intervention in the economy and redistribution. It is not correct to qualify populist, nationalist, xenophobic political parties – or, recently, anti-immigrant parties – as “extreme right”, when there is actually a very small “right-wing” component in them and they are primarily “left-wing”. In referring to the National Socialists as “Nazi”, the word “Socialist” is manipulatively concealed. The article also indicates the semantically incorrect use of phrases such as “Turkish slavery”, “corruption”, “king”, “Russophile”, “majority”, etc.

Социјална контрола идентитета

Author(s): Ivan Šijaković,Nemanja Đukić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 1/2011

Work starting from the conceptual distinction of identity (such as diversity) and personality (as otherness), is trying to explain the dynamism of modern society by the phenomenon of producing identity as an instrument of social control. While the identity forms an organizational basis of each order, the personality by its autonomy forms a subversive political resources on a global scale. Hence, strategies, policies and models of identity as segments of social identity protection, want to break up personality and to substitute it with identity.

Author(s): Bojan Milošević / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 127/2009

Mass-media have powerful influence on characteristics and development of contemporary societies.

Таксономичен поглед към фалшивите новини

Author(s): Ivan Valchanov / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 1/2018

The development of the Internet and social media and networks as a media environment and communication channels combined with the specificity of the journalistic profession in the online environment are a factor which contributes to the emergence and proliferation of fake news. The lack of reliable fact checking by the media and the fast news consumption by the public lead to mass disinformation about certain issues or subjects. The current paper examines fake news from several points of view and describes the models of their use – as harmless jokes, as lack of journalistic competence or professionalism and as means of manipulation and intentional misleading of public opinion. The attempts of big media corporations to fight fake news are also described.
