Kijowski Majdan jako symbol nowej Ukrainy

Author(s): Aleksandra Synowiec / Language(s): Polish Issue: 15/2015

Maidan Nezalezhnosti in Kiev is not just a geographic location, the city’s central square, but an area of freedom etched on the topography of the Ukrainian collective memory, an element of the symbolic resources on which today’s Ukrainian identity is founded. The concept of “Maidan” is filled with rich symbolic content. Maidan has become a social, political, ethical and religious category. Ukrainian revolution, Crimean crisis, separatist aspirations in Donetsk and Lugansk show how complicated the nation-building processes in Ukraine are. The role of Maidan in shaping citizenship among the competitive strategies of identity is worth noting. The question arises if a modern political nation was born in Maidan. Referring to my own observations made in Kiev in January and February 2013, the Ukrainian media coverage and numerous conversations with residents of Kiev, I would like to point to Kiev’s Maidan as a symbol in contemporary collective identity of Ukrainians.

Cuteness and aggression in military picturebooks

Author(s): Bettina Kümmerling-Meibauer,Jörg Meibauer / Language(s): English Issue: 3 (34)/2016

As a subspecies of ideologically loaded picture books, this chapter focuses on military picture books. This term encompasses picture books dealing with war and the roles of soldiers. In the first part, taxonomy of military picture books is created which is exemplified by telling examples. The second part focuses on a particular narrative problem of military picture books that is of interest to a cognitive theory of picture books (as pursued by Kümmerling-Meibauer & Meibauer 2013). On the one hand, it is not possible to represent war as a good thing across the board; on the other hand, war is depicted with respect to certain scenarios of self-defense. The narrative solution seems to be that “cute” characters (that is, anthropomorphic animals and vehicles) are introduced who serve as positive military protagonists that have to fight against aggressive characters representing the enemy. In military picture books, there is a contrast between cuteness and aggression that is astonishing when regarding the typical pedagogical demands on the accommodation of picture books to the child’s cognitive abilities.

Rozwój miasta – społeczna dynamika przekształceń

Author(s): Andrzej Słaboń / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2017

In the paper urban development is understood as a chain of connected changes in the different spheres of inhabitants’ lives. Changes in urban areas depend on interactions between different actors. Foremost is the connection between the everyday behaviour of people and social changes. Individual behaviours are shaped by normative regulations, while excessive regulations lead to pacification and compensational reactions. Social dynamics of the changes in urban areas depend in many cases on the relationship between pacification processes and compensation.

Author(s): Andra-Ioana Androniciuc / Language(s): English Issue: 13/2017

Nowadays, we are witnessing an unprecedented large number of voters who take their daily information from social media. As a result, having a strong online campaign has become a requirement. The United States of America provide a valuable example of how social media have become increasingly more involved in the communication between politicians and voters. That is why this paper aims at bringing evidence from 2016 presidential race, by analyzing the online communication campaigns of finalists Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Our findings show that even if both candidates’ campaigns successfully engage with the voters, Donald Trump is taking better advantage of social media’s features: embracing immediacy (right now), transparency (unvarnished expression) and risk (rather than caution).

„Postat ćemo Jugoslaveni ili ćemo ostati ono što jesmo”: češka manjina i pitanje državljanstva u međuratnoj Jugoslavĳi

Author(s): Vlatka Dugački / Language(s): English,Croatian Issue: 9/2015

Based on archival material stored in the State Archives in Bjelovar, the Croatian State Archives in Zagreb and Czech-minority publications the author wishes to reconstruct the question of obtaining citizenship for the members of the Czech minority in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, later the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, taking the Bjelovar-Bilogora County as the representative one, since it had the largest number of members of the Czech minority living in it. The intention is to show how (un)resolving the question of citizenship affected minority attitudes towards key political events and governing structures of that time period and how it reflected on that minority’s wishes and needs, which largely determined further guidelines for their activities, as well as their role in the political life of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, later the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

Author(s): Nenad Kecmanović,Tijana Kecmanović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 6/2013

Koautori analiziraju strategiju nenasilnog rušenja dikatatura iz pera Džina Šarpa. Njegovi kratki priručnici poslužili su kao uputstvo za akciju pokreta Otpor u Srbiji, a da javnost dugo to nije znala. Poslije svrgavanja Miloševića u oktobru 2000, Šarpove brošure prevedene su na sve svjetske jezike i postale biblija „Obojenih revolucija“ u Istočnoj Evropi i „Arapskog proljeća“ na Bliskom Istoku. Koautori, zatim, ispituju teorijsko i istorijsko porijeklo Šarpovih ideja, sponzore njegovih operativnih projekata, pomoćne metode rušenja režima itd. I na kraju traže odgovor kome i zašto sve to služi.

Mediji i manipulacija

Author(s): Braco Kovačević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 5/2013

The role and importance of the media are huge, both in everyday life and in cultural, spiritual and political life of modern man. Their power in the sense of political shaping of people and shaping of public opinion is very distinctive. In the process of propaganda to influence public opinion, they use various manipulative procedures in order to accomplish certain interests and objectives. Through the media, politics realises its economic, ideological, political and even military activities. The war in the former Yugoslavia and former Bosnia and Herzegovina was also waged through the media. This media war still is spreading the hate speech, thus still causing conflicts and disintegration processes in the Balkans.

Savremena politička persuazija – novo ruho „stare“ propagande?

Author(s): Siniša M. Atlagić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/2011

An emphasized ideological approach to political propaganda, i.e. different understandings of the concept in the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century as well has been one of the author’s main reasons to study such a topic. Though the concept of propaganda was first used in relation to western democracies and, at the same time, „indoctrination“ was used in relation to totalitarian regimes, the term „political propaganda“ was quickly associated with „non democratic“, „dictatorship“, „totalitarian“ countries. Political propaganda has been understood in a pejorative way, as indoctrination, deception or fraud. At the same time, the concepts of political persuasion, publicity, government publicity, advertising, public relations, information operations and others have been introduced in the western democracies. This paper aims to determine whether the rejection of political propaganda in the scientific literature in the West has been theoretically based and to give a scientific explanation for the differences between this concept and the concepts it has been replaced with.

Politisko stratēģiju implikācijas kolektīvās inteliģences platformā

Author(s): Liena Galeja / Language(s): Latvian Issue: 1/2014

The research paper contributes to the analysis of different sociocultural phenomena characteristic of the Web 2.0 internet society, with an impact on the structures and channels enabling and sustaining transfer of the implications of various political strategies within the social networking media community. The phenomenon of the so-called network mythologies is regarded as an underlying structure suspending communicating political messages, and public representation, as well as public performance by political figures in the social networking media in a mode of the so-called digital icons that is marked as a new paradigmatic shift of how the implications of political strategies are embodied, suggesting a turn from control society to representation society. Particular attention is paid to the possibly most negative consequences enveloped in the change of political messaging in the social networking media community, namely, digital falsifications and digital terror which can become one of the most prominent tools in the local and global information warfare.

Telpiskā identitāte latvijas sabiedrības priešstatos globalizācijas kontekstā

Author(s): Pēteris Laķis / Language(s): Latvian Issue: 1/2004

The issue of identity, which has recently become especially topical in the philosophical, sociological and culturological literature, should be addressed taking into account several methodological principles. The most important of them is presented in G.W.F. Hegel's statement, that it is very important to correctly understand the true meaning of identity, it is necessary to achieve that it is not as an abstract identity, that is, an identity, which excludes difference. As identity is not a motionless self, but a quality changing in time, its determination can be differentiated by a specific spatial and temporal identity, as well as set by various positions of this identity in society. Importance and prerequisite, but not sufficient, conditions for spatial identity, which is the theme of this article, are the boundaries defined by the geographic and political reality. Another, maybe even a more important, factor is the subjective interpretation of these objective boundaries and their embodiment in the nation's mentality and consciousness, as the subjective perception creates its psychological image of spatial identity, which merges with a fragment of physical reality.

Ko čuva đake ekipi sa Jale?

Author(s): Sanja Horić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 2/2018

U početku bijaše zidić ispred pozorišta. Bijahu i mladi. Bilo je to mjesto okupljana nekoliko lokalnih omladinaca, koji su za malo para pravili mnogo zabave. Vremena su bila teška, vladala je besparica. No, kada to inače u Tuzli vremena nisu teška i ne vlada besparica? To nisu bila konzumeristička druženja, u kome bi se drugome platilo za ugođaj, nego samoinicijativno kreiranje slobodnog vremena, na najizvodljiviji način. Kao u mnogim drugim situacijama u Tuzli i tu su osnovu činili solidarnost i dijeljenje, jer bi svako dao onoliko koliko ima, kako bi se kupilo piće, koje bi se popilo u društvu. [...]

Kto był pierwszym celebrytą? Zachodnia historiografia celebrytyzmu, stan na rok 2018

Author(s): Adrian Wesołowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01/2019

The article is an overview of historiography focused on celebritism that has been developing autonomously since the 1990s among the English-speaking scholars. Organised around the main question of ‘who was the first celebrity?’, it presents the development of sub-discipline as constituting of five stages: (1) a silent one in the 1980s, when history served only an exemplifying role for media researchers, (2) an initial one in the 1990s, when attention was given to theatrical celebrity, (3) late 1990s and early 2000s, when historical investigation encompassed the world of fame beyond theatre, (4) 2010s, when the merge of history and social sciences gained momentum, and (5) the possible future of celebrity history.

Celebryta ponowoczesny – w pogoni za sławą

Author(s): Bartłomiej Kotowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01/2019

Nowadays, almost anyone can become a celebrity although not everyone is. Contemporary world and late modernity favour and support any shape and form of celebrity. Existence and actions of celebrities are concurrent in theirs indication. To be a celebrity requires an ongoing battle for their very existence, remaining on “top” and endearing the public. It is not an appearance belonging to a subjective ego. Functioning in micro and macro scale or being on so called “their turf” demands constant effort, perpetual remaining in the centre of attention, cultivating social consciousness of the perception of “me – celebrity” enlisting strong actions in the real world as well as in the virtual world. Furthermore, commerciality is not foreign in those actions and they are rarely free from elements of absurdity.

Celebrytyzacja uczestniczek i uczestników protestów

Author(s): Karolina Gembara / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01/2019

In the article the author analyses viral images of the Turkish Spring, of clashes on the Israeli-Palestinian border, as well as some other iconic protest photographs. By following the impact these photographs make through the social media, it shall be observed how individuals captured by photojournalists become “protest celebrities”. This process, called celebritisation, resembles how famous people within the entertainment industry gain instant recognition, as a result of a singular act. The author proposes observing political protests in the same way we look at popular culture, and the way it produces celebrities, often against their will. Analogies shall be drawn and differences point out between traditional celebrities and protest celebrities using performative theory questioning the agency of celebrities.

Krymibryci: mikrocelebryci zbrodni

Author(s): Magdalena Kamińska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01/2019

Cause célèbre, understood as a crime narrative, plays a special role in Western culture. The cultural background of criminal cases was analyzed by such influential scholars as Michel Foucault, or those cultural historians, who practiced style of historiography known as micro-history. They described causes célèbres not only as a precise reflection of the current problems of everyday life, but also of the mentality, beliefs and customs of local communities members, that is, their culture. As the 20th century mass media developed, the antagonist of cause célèbre gained the status of a star, and the stories about his deeds began to be modeled as film narratives. Now, thanks to the popularisation of social media, cause célèbre has taken on a new dimension, giving rise to a crimibrity figure – the criminal variant of micro-celebrity. Such figures are gaining social significance also in Poland, which has long missed the phenomenon of the `criminal star` cult.

Populizam i politika priznanja

Author(s): Krešimir Petković / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 24/2019

Populizam je politička riječ. On je borbena riječ kojom se legitimira vlastita pozicija, a delegitimira tuđa. To je, uostalom, opće mjesto i u samoj literaturi o populizmu, koja uvažava njezinu političku narav. Jan-Wemer Miiller pitat će se je li populizam možda samo Kampjbegriff, a Nadia Urbinati uvažit će da je posrijedi nom de bataille. Potvrđuje ga i parafraziranje jedne od poznatijih političkih rečenica u povijesti. Bauk odnosno sablast ( Gespenst) kruži Europom, no ovoga puta ne komunizma, nego populizma, kako će nas podsjetiti Alain de Benoist, čime se također upućuje na društvena previranja i nestabilnost političkih poredaka.
