The Contemporary Challenges of Measuring Political Participation

Author(s): Yerkebulan Sairambay / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2020

The multifaceted nature of political participation has led to various ways of measuring it. This, in turn, has led to conflicting outcomes (even when applied to the same problem) in the research field. What are the contemporary challenges of measuring political participation? The main objective of this paper is to identify current challenges of measuring political participation that are common in the existing literature and empirical findings. This review paper examines different methods of measuring both online and offline political participation and shows current problems that are crucial to deal with methodological challenges in the emerging era of Web 3.0. Drawing from a careful analysis of 86 published (2012–2019) empirical research on new media and political participation, the present study finds that self-reported measures, different question-wordings, misuse of Likert scales and time frames, and the lack of clear concept of political participation are current problems of measuring political participation. In so doing, it contributes to research on political participation (1) attempting to gather various measurements and their common problems as well as (2) urging the importance of these challenges.

Nick – tożsamość w Internecie

Author(s): Joanna Dubiec-Stach / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2021

Nicknames, also treated as usernames, pseudonyms or as a subclass of pseudonyms, denote non-official personal names in German. They are names given by people themselves and therefore mostly self-chosen and not adopted by others in digital network communication, be it in chats, on forums, when gaming on the Internet, on social media, etc. This article deals with a contrastive examination of the German and Polish nicknames in selected digital network communications. After a semantic, morphological, syntactic, graphostilistic and lexical classification, the nicknames of both languages are compared. This article is intended to signal certain tendencies in the choice of the appropriate nicknames in both languages.

Social Media and Body Image from the Perspective of Secondary School Youth

Author(s): Miriam NIKLOVÁ,Karina Zošáková / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

The study aimed to map the prevalence of social media disorder in secondary school youth. We used an abbreviated version of the Social Media Disorder Scale (SMD) and the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ-16B). The reliability of the questionnaires used in the research, indicates that they have sufficient internal consistency. A total of 637 rerespondents participated in the study. Their ages ranged from 15 to 19 years (AM=16.63). The results of the study showed social media impairment in 11.1% of the respondents, confirming a statistically significant difference in terms of the gender of the adolescents in favour of girls, and in terms of the degree of concern about their appearance, in favour of those who are more concerned about their appearance. Furthermore, a statistically significant difference in the degree of concern about their appearance in terms of gender, was confirmed in favour of girls.

THE EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGES OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES

Author(s): Monica Condruz-Bacescu / Language(s): English Issue: 16/2023

The paper focuses on the educational challenges of digital technologies. The emergence of easier-to-use and more accessible mobile devices and services, along with the desire to adapt education to the generation of digital children, with completely new expectations regarding the education process, has led to a significant change in the way that the act of learning is understood and practiced at school. In the field of education, as in others, the reflection on the development of modern means of communication would only gain from the teachings of the theory of cultural industries, but also of the sociology of technical innovation or the history of communication’ means. Major changes are predicted to take place, some actually happen and are part of everyday life. New concepts became common words in the nowadays vocabulary: blended learning, e-learning, distance education, online education. In conclusion, the transformation of the educational process and the evolution towards the digital school involve ensuring access to administrative solutions for management and teachers, transparency for parents and digital study tools for students and teaching staff, in an environment that allows collaboration and effective communication between all parties involved.

THE ROMANIAN ELECTION OF 1946 IN THE NORWEGIAN PRESS

Author(s): Marian-Alin Dudoi / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

The study analyses how the Norwegian Press presented the Romanian parliamentary election of 19 November 1946. The author studied editorials, already translated in Romanian by the Romanian Legation in Oslo at that time, and found at the Diplomatic Archives of the Romanian Ministry for Foreign Affairs in Bucharest. As it has promised to the United States and British Governments in order to be recognized by those two great powers, the Groza Government, backed by the occupying Soviets, had to organize the election. The most important Norwegian press depicted the violence and pressure on the opposition to stop meetings, the fact that the government’s representatives banished the opposition’s ones from the polling places, how the government bought votes on the black market, how a part of the people used more than one vote, or how the oppositions’ supporters were not allowed to vote. Despite less important far-left newspapers, the most prestigious Norwegian newspapers concluded that the election was neither fair or free.

Odnos fiktivnog i realnog u Hanekeovom filmu "Smiješne igre": "Četvrti zid" kao parabola o prisustvu

Author(s): Stefan Elezović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 4/2023

The subject of this paper is a reflection on Haneke’s film “Funny Games” from 1997. The thematic focus is related to a sociological analysis of the content of the mentioned film and the correlation of this content with Heidegger’s conception of technology, Adorno’s and Horkheimer’s critique of mass culture, Jonas’s ethics of responsibility, and Baudrillard’s concept of simulation. The film in question highlights the issue of media representation of violence in the context of post-reality. Violence is presented as a form of entertainment, and the act of torture itself is depicted as a performance. The wall between the audience and the actors in the film is broken down, and the role of the film viewer is hypostasized as that of an actor. The basic assumption of this paper is based on the idea that action on a micro level forms a macro effect that leads to the establishment of a new reality. Haneke’s film “Funny Games” affirmatively responds to the aforementioned assumption. Exposure to the influence of the virtual space through actions on subjects has consequences on reality. Through the breaking of the “fourth wall,” the film “Funny Games” problematizes the relationship between the audience and the media, i.e., the relation between the fictional and the real. By focusing on the content of the film and the methods of analysis, synthesis, deduction, and induction, we come to the conclusion that the film “Funny Games” is a metaphor for the image of the contemporary era. Visual representation influences the objectification of the virtual world, so the analysis of the content of visual media opens up as one of the most pregnant perspectives for insight into the nature of objectivity in the contemporary context.

Pogranicze w ogniu (1992–1993) von Andrzej Konic, eine historische Fernsehserie als Kulturtext oder als Versuch, den „heiligen Krieg“ in der polnisch-deutschen Geschichte der Jahre 1917–1939 zu rekonstruieren

Author(s): Zbigniew Mańke / Language(s): German Issue: 44/2023

This article attempts to present the television series as a distinctive text which can persuasively and therefore effectively appeal to contemporary viewers, providing them with an insight into the events of a predefined period of Polish and German history, arousing certain emotions and thoughts or, in a general sense, even making them reflect on the history of both nations. With its attractive storyline based on, among other things, the dramaturgy of the presented events, this type of series can be perceived, to some extent, to be part of contemporary historical narration

Rosyjska dezinformacja zagrożeniem dla polskiej przestrzeni informacyjnej. Studium przypadku: wojna w Ukrainie w 2022 roku

Author(s): Natalia Janina Góraleczko / Language(s): Polish Issue: 31/2022

The Russian Federation had been conducting large-scale disinformation activities even before the 2022 war in Ukraine began. The Kremlin’s message was focused on the development of basic narratives used at theturn of 2013/2014. This basic substructure was updated to match current events. Entitites outside Russia,such as Poland, the EU and NATO are also vulnerable to information attacks.Due to the abundance of diverse information and unlimited availability of sources, recognizing falseinformation is increasingly difficult, which translates into social panic. Unfortunately, protection againstfalse information in Poland remains underdeveloped.

The construction of fake war news. Specificities of disinformation in social media during the first six months of the Russia-Ukraine war (March-September 2022)

Author(s): Katarzyna Kopecka-Piech,Dorota Dyksik,Mateusz Sobiech / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

Modern warfare, including the Russia-Ukraine war, relies heavily on disinformation. Fake news on social media is an integral part of this. At the same time, each conflict is characterised by distinct communication specifici- ties and in the context of the complex effects of fake news, questions arise about their specificity for a given conflict. The aim of the presented research was to answer the question of what the various fake news about the RussianUkrainian war disseminated in Polish-language social media have in common and what narrative they generate. The analysis covered the construction of the messages as well as their contexts: social, cultural, historical, and political. For this purpose, a three-stage analysis of ten fake news cases disseminated between March and September 2022 was conducted, applying a three-element analytical matrix. The research made it possible to identify the properties of fake news, generated narratives, and their possible effects.

“But then the war started”: The value of diversity in editorial practices during times of war and crisis

Author(s): Greta Gober,Anna Jupowicz-Ginalska / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

In this article, we analyse the impact of disruptive media events on the perceived value of diversity in editorial practices, with a specific focus on the Polish media debate following the onset of the Russian-Ukrainian war in February 2022. We do this based on a unique dataset derived from in-depth interviews with eight editors representing four different newsrooms conducted before, immediately after, and approximately one year after the start of the war. Our research answers the question of whether newsrooms can defend the value of diversity during the coverage of war and crisis. We also assess the impact of the changed geopolitical context, characterised by nation-building mobilisation and public sentiments of solidarity with Ukrainians, on editorial decisions to mute, delay, or opt out of publishing certain stories. We contribute to research on the epistemologies of journalistic news production during times of crisis, news diversity, and the role of the media in democratic societies.

The spread of Russian disinformation within the Ukrainian information field

Author(s): Nataliia Voitovych,Liliya Imbirovska-Syvakivska / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

The objective of this study is to identify and analyse the methods of disinformation utilized by Russia to disseminate information in the Ukrainian information field. The main tasks include defining the concept of disinformation and explaining its societal dangers, characterising InformationPsychological Operations (IPSO) as a component of Russia’s disinformation campaign against Ukraine and investigating the most prevalent elements utilised by Russia in the dissemination of disinformation. This study is aimed at the synthesis and combination of methods of monitoring, content analysis, and comparative analysis. The article selects publications that exhibit disinformation targeted at Ukrain- ian society. Disinformation propagated by Russia is subsequently refuted by either foreign or Ukrainian publications, including the “NotaEnota” organisa- tion. The study reveals that Russian disinformation aims to propagate spe- cific narratives and manipulate mass consciousness. Disinformation involves intentionally creating misleading and manipulative content, often in the form of artificially created fakes. The information field of Ukraine has become the primary battleground for Russia’s hybrid warfare tactics, which include disinformation, propaganda, and fakes. To effectively counter these tactics, society needs to develop critical thinking skills and media literacy to discern and evaluate information critically. Future research aims to delve deeper into the methods employed in creating disinformation, their objectives, and potential strategies to prevent or counteract their influence.

Realizările multidimensionale ale Mișcării de Emancipare și Redeșteptare a Romilor din România reliefate în ziarul „Glasul Romilor” (1934–1941) (II)

Author(s): Ion Duminica / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2023

The study focuses on the detailed analysis of the multidimensional achievements obtained by the promoters of the Emancipation and Reawakening Movement of Roma in Romania, which were covered in 15 issues of the newspaper “Glasul Romilor” (The Voice of the Roma) (1934–1941). Starting from 1933, the call for the unity of the Roma (gypsy) nation has been widely propagated by the “first emancipated and reawakened” Roma leaders; this „social and cultural outbreak” could be considered a crucial compartment in the History of the Roma in Romania. On November 15, 1934, in the first issue of the newspaper “Glasul Romilor”, the 15 objectives of the Roma Emancipation and Reawakening Program, developed by the leaders of the Association “General Union of Roma from Romania” were presented “for the accessible understanding of all Roma”. Based on the detailed analysis of 15 issues of the newspaper “Glasul Romilor” (1934–1941), 38 multidimensional achievements obtained by the members of the Association “General Union of Roma from Romania” in four areas of activity: cultural, economic, social and national, were highlighted. The two priority areas in which the protagonists of the Roma Emancipation and Reawakening Movement revealed their activity were: Cultural (14 achievements) and Social (10 achievements); (24/38 = 63%). The most essential result from the point of view of the strengthening of the Roma ethnic identity was the proliferation of the history of the Roma to reveal the unknown origin of this historical and cultural community. Accordingly, in the interwar period, the Roma leaders claimed through a public request the promotion of a “non-minority” autochthonous status for the Roma community on the Romanian territory.

Манипулятивная природа визуальных медия: от рукотворных образов до генеративных дипфейков

Author(s): Natalia Krivulya / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2023

The paper explores the problems of manipulation and reliability of information in the visual media. Manipulation is part of their essence. Distortions in the message arise from a shift in attention from reality as such to how it’s seen by others or who and how it’s represented. The objective vision is replaced by a presentation of the vision of others in visual media. This opens up the possibility of manipulation and becomes the reason for the creation of visual falsifications. Modernity has become the era of post-truth. Visual media are increasingly shifting towards total falsification with the development of digital technologies, artificial intelligence. The generated image turns out to be more real and reliable than reality itself. This paper uses the classification of visual media images based on how they are created. An attempt is made to identify the causes of distortions in the representation of reality at different stages of the development of visual media. The article analyzes how the technologies of creating visual images affect the development of manipulative and falsifying practices that undermine the credibility of the visual message.

DYNAMICS OF ENCODING AND DECODING IN ECOLOGICAL ADVERTISING DISCOURSE

Author(s): Diana Motreniuc / Language(s): English Issue: 36/2024

This article delves into the intricate processes of encoding and decoding within the domain of ecological advertising discourse, shedding light on the effective communication strategies employed to convey environmental messages. Drawing on sociolinguistic theories and semiotic principles, we explore how advertisers encode environmental messages into visual forms, navigate noise in message reception, and strive for alignment between intended and decoded messages. Through a critical examination of structuralist semiotics and contemporary perspectives on communication theory, we elucidate the complex interplay between encoded environmental printed messages and audience interpretation. Furthermore, we analyze linguistic expressions, deictic expressions, and variations in perspective embedded within ecological advertising discourse, highlighting their role in shaping audience perceptions and responses.

JAVNI MEDIJI PRIPADAJU GRAĐANIMA

Author(s): Mehmed Agović / Language(s): English Issue: 100/2022

Ratni dio moje novinarske karijere imao je poseban utjecaj ne samo na profesionalno sazrijevanje i iskustvo već i prvi put na neposredan uvid u ulogu javnih medija u ratu i odnos novinara i vlasti prema medijima u ratnim, ali i poratnim okolnostima. Činjenica je da vlasti u Bosni i Hercegovini ni nakon skoro tri decenije dejtonskog perioda nisu omogućile nezavisan i samoodrživ rad javnih medija, čak ni u situaciji kada je to postavljeno kao uslov na putu države u Evropsku uniju. Ni jednoj od etnonacionalnih stranaka, koje su u tom periodu uglavnom bile na vlasti, cilj nije bio sloboda medija već, kao i u ratu, njihova instrumentalizacija za etnostranačke potrebe.

The Relevance Of Illustration In Book Marketing In The 18th And 19th Centuries In Slovakia

Author(s): Eva Augustínová,Slavka Pitoňáková / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

In each era, there are distinctive features that have influenced the possibilities of promoting intangible art products in the broader context of marketing. The possibilities, methods and forms of promotion have changed and evolved over the centuries and have depended on the development of mass means of communication, as well as on new methods and forms of promotion that reflected the requirements of the target groups during a particular period of time. In the present article, we focus on brand building of the printer (i.e. the printer’s signet), on the relevance of illustration in book marketing that takes the form of an artistic reference to the content of the work (the content frontispiece) and we also focus on building the PR of the author (the frontispiece portrait). The present study deals with the period from the 18th to the 19th century and in terms of geography, it is concerned with the territory of Slovakia.

Discourse Of Expression Of Image Representations In Contemporary Audiovisual Culture

Author(s): Hana Pravdová,Magdaléna Ungerová / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

The presented study deals with the issue of the discourse of pictorial portrayals in present-day audiovisual culture. The authors aim to find the basic parameters of the current discourse and discursive practices within audiovisual creation, especially film and television. They define basic concepts and categories and submit them to analysis. From this aspect, they examine aesthetic categories, especially aesthetic values and functions in relation to the interpretation of image representations. They formulate the premise that the expressions of visual presentations are reflections of the digital technical-technological platform of audiovisual making, the ethos of postmodernity and postmodernism, and the ideal of consumption of experiences as one of the most important values of present-day Western civilization. In a logical sequence, they deal with the matter of the ethos and value-related frameworks of postmodernism as relevant factors that condition the discursive practices of audiovisual creators. On the other hand, they name the mindsets of individuals, recipients of audiovisual statements, testifying to their specific desires for emotional encounters. They reach the conclusion that the discourse of the expression of visual representations in contemporary audiovisual culture has clearly defined parameters of creative approaches and reception expectations.
