Corporeality in the communication of young people

Author(s): Kornélia Jakubíková,Veronika Špirková / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2016

The study describes communication of young people with the emphasis on its content dedicated to corporeality and determines a content-based classification of topics from a normative perspective: what topics are regular, intimate, or tabooed; participants; and gender differences. The study is divided into parts, which thematically describe: starting points, research, sample; communication content and topics; participants in communication; gender differences; factors of communication and the language of communication. The study is elaborated on the basis of information coming from professional literature and field research conducted by semi-structured interviews with university students and university educated people – 15 women and 15 men in age 22–28 (year of birth 1987–1993) coming from an urban environment in Slovakia.

Jazyk tvarovaný excesem

Author(s): Tomáš Jirsa / Language(s): Czech Issue: 3/2017

Over the past two decades, the “affective turn” has substantially influenced different humanities such as political theory, sociology, cognitive psychology and aesthetics. Literary studies,however, take a rather distant stance, overlooking affects as unanalysable emotional responsesor mere reader’s affections. Drawing on recent works in media philosophy, film theory and visual anthropology, this paper addresses the questions of what exactly affects do with language and how they operate within a literary text. The first part briefly sketches the strong and weak points of the affective turn and the second part develops the most fruitful concepts relating affects to their forms and transmissions. In order to expand on Ernst van Alphen’s list of the affective operations, the third part examines a few corporeal figures in Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories, exploring their affective mediality triggered by various repetitive patterns.Finally, a hypothesis of the aesthetic nature of affects exceeding borders between different media and aesthetic forms is offered.

Egalitná jazyková komunikácia

Author(s): Juraj Dolník / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 1/2022

The pragmatic reason for supporting the promotion of equal language communication is that this communication is part of a social event that aims to develop an inclusive society. However, this support also has an anthropological reason, which is based on the reconstruction of the origin of man as a being of his kind and his humanization. His humanization is based on continuous self-realization and rational social solidarity, consisting in the fact that the actors of social interaction are committed to creating a lively environment for parity self-realization. Such self-realization is governed by the principle of equality differentiation, which includes the contextual neutralization of relevant differences between actors. Transparency is essential for overcoming equality barriers in language communication, but it is important to perceive the opposition between levelling and cultivated equality communication. This contrast draws attention to the idea of optimally transparent language, which leads the actors to set the optimal ratio between transparent and non-transparent forms of expression. Since the humanization of individuals and society corresponds to cultivated equality communication, the order of the day is to increase the volume of language communication in society with such a degree of non-transparency (negativity) that stimulates the interpretive activity of the actors. When examining equal language communication with regard to its impact on the cultural level of society, one of the relevant issues is the adaptation of the relationship between positive and negative transparency to current communication events.

Spisovný jazyk a vývoj národnej jednoty Slovákov

Author(s): Juraj Dolník / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 2/2023

The study is a response to the question: How has this society developed since the time of Ľ. Štúr from the point of view of the dynamics of national unity conditioned by the democratization of standard Slovak? For the development of the Slovak nation in the light of this language, democratization was of decisive importance, namely the control of the codified standard, and therefore linguistic correctness, and language-communication normality. The democratization of the codified norm and thus linguistic correctness has become the basis of the perception of language culture and a means of integrating the Slovaks as a national collective, ensuring their formal unity. The direction of the democratization of linguistic correctness is the optimal language culture as the control of a codified standard by basically every Slovak, but the democratization of the standard language also leads to the fact that it becomes the general mother tongue and natural linguistic correctness, i.e. natural language culture, is gradually enforced. This correctness and this culture are already manifestations of the transition of the national collective into a development phase of deeper – content, "true" (according to Štúr) – unity and shifting attention from language to communication culture. In this phase, national collective solidarity was deepened by the inclusion of communication and society, involving the cultivation of a sense of linguistic collectivity. The democratization of language-communication normality, which takes place as the expansion of the circle of "intimate language experts" in the implementation of the adaptive potential of the language, in which the peculiarity of the mental culture – the "spirit of the nation" –is manifested, is of fundamental importance for the turning point in the reorientation of the speakers of the standard language towards the communication culture. At this stage of development, the optimization of language culture grows into the optimization of communication culture governed by the principle of inclusion. In the Slovak language community, the discourse on authentic communication culture, based on a sense of collective identity, is becoming relevant.

Slovenská vlogosféra v kontexte jazykových prostriedkov a komunikačných aspektov (so zameraním na anglicizmy)

Author(s): Romana Krolčíková / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 2/2023

The Slovak vlogosphere is a communication virtual space, in which linguistic and paralinguistic means of language, as well as various forms of verbal and nonverbal communication in the context of the domestic communication environment, have become conventionalized. In this context, vloggers, who record and publish videos via the online YouTube portal, are characterized by a significant variability of means of expression, especially in the area of emotional and expressive expressions, which manifest one of the forms of expression of the individual identity presented in their videos. The aim of the article is to present the key communication features of the video blog, influencing the use of language means in the monitored communications. We find out how these characteristics influence the use of linguistic means. These features are described and demonstrated with authentic examples, focusing on the use of Anglicisms.

Mediálne obrazy dôchodku: Skúmanie prezentovania dôchodku v slovenských internetových denníkoch

Author(s): Viera Baĉová,Lucia Kočišová,Patrik Havan / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 5/2024

We conducted a media thematic agenda analysis of 528 articles on retirement from five influential online newspapers in Slovakia between January 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023. The aim was to understand these newspapers' societal discourses on retirement, the breadth and completeness of their coverage of retirement topics, and which aspects they emphasized and overlooked. The analysis found that the media coverage during the selected period did not address various retirement issues. Quantitative analysis revealed that economic and legislative aspects dominated, followed by political positions on retirement issues, information from the Social Insurance Agency, details about adjustments to the pension system, and expert opinions. Financial preparation for retirement received minimal coverage, while psychological, socio-psychological, and sociological contexts of retirement were on the periphery of media attention. As the media reflect and shape cultural beliefs about retirement, our findings provide insights into the retirement culture within a nationally specific framework. Considering that retirement culture is under-researched in social science studies, we recommend focusing on a research program to delve deeper into this issue in Slovakia.

Онтологичните основания на прехода към проектизираща общност в метода за философия с деца „Философско чудене“

Author(s): Vesselin Dafov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2024

Considering the leading position in the ontology of philosophy sessions at present, namely: building of “community of inquiry”, here I discuss the advantages and the horizon that are created to philosophy and philosophizing through the ontology of projectizing (producing, creating) community. The ontologies of research on the one hand and project ontologies on the other differ.In this way, philosophy is engaged with caring thinking on the projectivity beings.

Doing Research During Times of Crisis: An Auto/Biography

Author(s): Aneta Ostaszewska / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

The purpose of this paper is to examine the process of struggling with thoughts, emotions and experiences that emerged in the course of and as a result of my research during the Covid-19 pandemic. By referring to Liz Stanley’s notion of “auto/biography,” I strive to explore the meanings and implications of researching a researcher’s autobiography. I am interested in the epistemic discussion on the interrelationship of what is personal, political and/or institutional in the context of feminist studies. My aim is to reflect on such issues as the effect of research on the trajectory of my own auto/biography.

SHHH ITTY : Raymond Federman’s Autobiographical Strategies

Author(s): Piotr Sadzik / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

The article is an analysis of the posthumously published Shhh: The Story of a Childhood by Raymond Federman. In the book, Federman revolves around the primary scene of his writing, when his mother pushed him into the closet and, whispering “Shhh,” hid him from the Gestapo. I examine how the author, while undermining the supposedly autobiographical narrative of his survival, simultaneously disarms the discourse of the sublime that has weighed on many reflections on Shoah. For this reason, I analyze the intertwining of scatology and the blunt representation of sexuality present in Federman’s writing.

E-LEARNING TASKS AND METHODOLOGY FOR DEVELOPING THE ENGINEERING STUDENTS’ PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION COMPETENCE IN ENGLISH WITH A FOCUS ON GRAMMAR

Author(s): Elisabeta Simona Catană / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2022

This paper highlights the importance of an e-learning approach to developing the engineering students’ professional communication competence in English by focusing on grammar in a series of elearning activities meant to encourage creativity, the logical and thorough argumentation of ideas in a polite, politically correct manner. Acknowledging the fact that especially in the pandemic times, online professional communication including speaking and writing is attached much importance to in a work environment, we claim that the engineering students studying English for specific purposes in a technical university should be helped and encouraged to focus on e-learning in order to develop and practise their knowledge of English grammar and specialized vocabulary for giving effective discourses and for writing specific technical and business documents in a professional, ethical and accurate manner in an online or physical work environment. We attempt to demonstrate that focusing on competency and task-based language teaching, cooperative learning and using the communicative method of teaching grammar and a series of e-learning activities in the English language courses and seminars will enable the engineering students to develop their professional verbal and written communication for technical and business purposes in their future career in an online environment and in a company office. This paper will show that e-learning will have the following advantages: 1) motivating the students to take a professional approach to specialised communication in English for work purposes based on a series of real life examples of professional communication in an online and physical work environment; 2) facilitating their professional communication on the online platforms and in the seminar classrooms at university for accomplishing the given tasks for the English classes by offering them access to useful online resources including theoretical guidelines as well as models of written formal business and technical documents, and relevant feedback.

E-LEARNING AND THE TECHNOLOGICAL ERA. WHY THE MOST TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED COUNTRIES ARE IN THE FOREFRONT OF E-LEARNING INDUSTRY?

Author(s): Alba-Iulia Catrinel POPESCU / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2022

Human history has shown that the future belongs to technological powers. From the chariots of the Hyksos, which shattered the armies of the Pharaohs of the fifteenth dynasty, to the nuclear bombings, which put an end to all Japanese resistance in World War II, the difference between victory and annihilation was made by technology. Technology created by educated human minds, curious, eager to overcome the knowledge of their own times. This is still the case today, in the era of the conquest of outer space and of the artificial intelligence, when the education system represents both the training framework and the vanguard of future transformations. Viewed with skepticism at the beginning of its implementation, e-learning has demonstrated its viability during the SARS-COV II pandemic, when it successfully replaced the traditional classroom teaching system. But today, e-learning knows the most diverse development directions, from microlearning and gamification to adaptive learning and augmented & virtual reality. And not only that. The unprecedented development of the e-learning industry is well known. Industry controlled by companies belonging to the great technological powers. Therefore, we wonder why the most technologically advanced countries are at the forefront of the e-learning industry? Is digital education the educational tool of the great technological powers? Same powers that will shape the world of the future. Or it will remain just a replacement for the classical educational system. This article aims to analyze the development directions of digital education, the dynamics of the related industrial sector and the relationship between digital education and technological power in the context of the international game.

SOCIAL NETWORKS, SOCIALIZATION, AND VALUES OF CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY: A CHALLENGE FOR E-LEARNING AND THE INTERNET’S ETHICS

Author(s): Emanuele Isidori,Mario De Martino,Roberta Alonzi,Natalia Poplavskaya,Irina Leonova,Iosif Sandor / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2022

The educational potential of social networks and the need for an "etiquette" that can control, prevent, and guide human behaviour in the era of digital communication so that the social values can be preserved and spread through the network and the new tools that promote digital socialization is a challenge for e-learning. The task of this preservation falls to ethics and education as instruments of preservation and transmission of human and social values to new generations. Ethics as a science of reflection on values and the implications of their transmission through education has the task of monitoring the proper use of social networks and social media to prevent them from being used as tools for actions and behaviours that violate the dignity of the human person. Social networks can be transformed into educational tools if anchored to values and come out from a mere instrumentality. To better explain, in the case of e-learning and digital education, with the intentional aim of promoting educational values in a perspective that improves the human being. Social networks and social media can become tools for positive and efficacious educational socialization if used in a socialization perspective aimed at sharing values and anchored in the common interest and the good. Starting from this hypothesis, the researchers who participated in this study administered a questionnaire and carried out interviews with a group of 87 Italian secondary school teachers selected from different schools in the city of Rome who, during the lockdown caused by COVID 19, attended specific courses for the enhancement of skills in digital teaching and became e-learning experts. The objective was to collect their reflections on the educational potential of social networks and the pros and cons of their use in digital teaching in secondary schools. In conducting the research, the methods of qualitative quantitative research were used. Data from the questionnaires and interviews were collected, interpreted, and discussed. In conclusion, this study has identified the ethical and educational principles that transform a social network into a tool for socialization and lifelong learning within the Internet.

PARADOXURI ŞI IPOTEZE ALE COMUNICĂRII ÎN CONTEXTUL PLURALISMULUI RELIGIOS ȘI IMPACTUL ACESTORA ASUPRA SOCIETĂȚII

Author(s): Samuiel Bâlc / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 3/2024

Religious pluralism, defined as the peaceful coexistence and interaction between different religious traditions in a society, requires effective communication to promote mutual understanding, respect and social harmony. Communication plays an essential role in navigating the complexities and sensitivities involved in interfaith interactions, facilitating dialog, reducing tensions and building bridges between different communities. This article explores the paradoxes and assumptions of communication in the context of religious pluralism. In a world increasingly characterized by diverse religious beliefs and practices, effective communication is essential to promote understanding, respect and coexistence between different religious communities. The study explores the inherent contradictions and theoretical frameworks that shape inter-religious dialogue, examining how these dynamics influence social harmony and conflict resolution. At the same time, this article explores the multiple dimensions of the role of communication in the context of religious pluralism, analyzing its importance, the challenges it faces, effective strategies and its impact on society.

PARTICULARITIES OF CHILDREN WITH LEARNING DISORDERS

Author(s): Renata Pop / Language(s): English Issue: 5/2022

The term learning disorders refers to the inappropriate development of reading, writing, speaking and numeracy skills. Specific learning disorders are not a disease, but special ways of processing information, which are due to different development and functioning of the central nervous system. There is no drug treatment for these disorders, only specific learning methods. Children with learning disabilities cannot learn to write, read and count through the traditional classical methods in mainstream school, needing specialized support from speech therapists or psycho-pedagogues who know alternative therapeutic methods. The success of the therapy is ensured to a large extent by the early recognition of the problems and the start of its application as early as possible. The complex examination done by the specialist will cover the following areas: sensory-motor skills, verbal skills, memory, attention, intelligence, learning style and scholastic abilities.

Playful Learning Approach in an English Class in a Rural Normal School

Author(s): Ana Arán Sánchez / Language(s): English Issue: 3 - SI/2024

Using playful learning methodologies in foreign language learning among adults has gained more attention in recent years, due to the advantages and benefits that students receive from it. The results of an action research intervention with a mixed-method approach are presented, which was conducted in a Rural Normal School, a public federal higher education institution located in the state of Chihuahua, north of Mexico. This research was implemented in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) course, involving 90 second-year students pursuing bachelor’s degrees in elementary education and preschool education, during the 2022-2023 school year. The purpose of the study was to design and implement a program using a playful learning approach to develop the cognitive, affective, and sociocultural aspects of the students. The instruments used included participant observation, a teacher’s diary, and a structured questionnaire to identify students’ experiences in the English class. The results show strong development in the cognitive and affective aspects, and a lesser degree of development in the sociocultural element.

Misiunea online în diaspora și implicarea Bisericii în mediul virtual. Accente, oportunități și limite

Author(s): Vasile Pop / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 3/2021

Nowadays, the Internet has become an increasingly accessible source of information where people, virtually speaking, are more and more present. The Internet, or the virtual world, is a place where we find the people, a virtual agora that opens up new opportunities but also entails dangers, which is why we need to think about how we use it for the pastoral work and the Gospel. One thing is certain, in the online world, the message of the Gospel is felt through a responsible and assumed missionary work. The Church's involvement in the virtual space must strategic, but at the same time, one that will persuade and induce the people of our days to escape from the online world to/towards the salvation reality of the worship space.
