The collective and individual expressions of humour in social media spaces: insights from the socio-political context of Jordan after the 2011 Arab Spring

Author(s): Yousef Barahmeh / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2024

This article seeks to establish a theoretical framework for considering how the collective and individual expressions of humour in social media spaces have been used and presented in the socio-political context of Jordan after the 2011 Arab Spring. This framework moves from the collective to the individual and makes Mikhail Bakhtin and Sigmund Freud complementary to the study of Jordanian social media humour after the Arab Spring. It argues that Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of carnival and the carnivalesque (folk humour) have a functional similarity to Sigmund Freud’s theory of humour (release theory) because both seem to agree on the role of repression to influence the production of humour. Although repression is being understood differently (for Bakhtin it is political repression, which is usually a conscious decision, while for Freud it is self-repression, which is usually unconscious), humour can provide us with a strong mechanism for overcoming repression, or at least, giving the individual or the crowd the impression that they are challenging repression without necessarily challenging the status quo i.e., calling for regime change or revolution

Freedom of Expression in Privacy vs. Public Interest, a Case for Open Justice in Extended Reality

Author(s): Adnan Hadziselimovic,Krzysztof Pijarski / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

This paper continues the discussion on advanced jurisprudence, outlined in Algorithms, Ethics and Justice (Hadzi, 2022), where restorative justice was proposed for the mitigation of artificial intelligence (AI) crimes. Algorithms, Ethics and Justice proposed an alternative approach to the current legal system by looking into restorative justice for AI crimes, and how the ethics of care could be applied to AI technologies. The paper signifies an expanded version of Hadzi’s contribution to the Digital Research in Humanities and Art Conference (Hadzi, 2023), focusing on the notion of cyber offenses in extended reality (XR), given the rise of the metaverse (Anderson, Rainie, 2022; Chohan, 2022), and the future scenario of bio-metrical data of EEG capable headsets (Graham, 2022) being misused by rogue companies and/or criminals (Jaber, 2022; Nair et al., 2022; Zhao et al., 2022). The authors Begin by questioning the cyberspace – including the emerging metaverse – as public sphere, i.e. a social space in which democracy is being enacted to explore open justice in extended realities (XR), and then by continuing the discussion around the right to be forgotten and the freedom of the press versus privacy, through a comparative analysis between the legal situation in the EU and that of the USA. The paper concludes by warning against excessive state control while attempting to project a desirable scenario of multiple digital public spheres.

Czy czytelnicy „Trybuny Ludu” wierzyli jeszcze w partię? Listy do Centralnego organu KC PZPR u schyłku jej istnienia. Studium źródeł z drugiej połowy lat osiemdziesiątych

Author(s): Konrad Rokicki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 15/2023

Trybuna Ludu” – the main press organ of the PZPR – presented its official political line. It was supposed to be the voice of the party leadership – not a forum for discussion. However, at the end of the 1980s, alongside the previously existing columns presenting readers’ letters selected by the editors for printing or discussion (real or fictional – this is always difficult to tell in magazines with such a propagandist and ideological profile), other kinds of readers’ voices began to appear. They were meant to be a contribution to the discussion on the necessity and shape of the reform of both the PZPR and the state. This was a discussion controlled by an editorial board which was more conservative in the sphere of ideology than the party authorities. In the surviving internal “Trybuna Ludu” bulletins and letters to the editor-in-chief, we find an overview of authentic letters that were not printed because they were too critical towards the actions of the party leadership. It was only after the loss of power by the PZPR, when the real discussion began as to whether and in what form the party could still be saved. However, it could not in any way strengthen the credibility of the PZPR in society.

EMPOWERING YOUNG MINDS: MEDIA LITERACY AND THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL NETWORKS

Author(s): Athanasia Konstantopoulou / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

The rapid rise of social networks has significantly impacted the media consumption habits of young students, making media literacy a critical educational priority. This paper aims to examine the current state of media literacy among young students and the influence of social networks on their information consumption. It explores the role of educational institutions in fostering media literacy skills and identifies the challenges and opportunities in this area. The study involves a comprehensive review of recent literature, including empirical studies and theoretical analyses, to assess the effectiveness of existing media literacy programs and the impact of social media platforms on students' critical thinking abilities. The literature review focuses on sources from the last five years to provide up-to-date insights into the evolving digital landscape. The findings indicate a significant gap in media literacy education across various educational settings. Many young students demonstrate limited ability to critically evaluate online content, often struggling to differentiate between credible sources and misinformation. The influence of social media algorithms, which prioritize engaging content over factual accuracy, exacerbates this issue, leading to a proliferation of misinformation. Additionally, the study reveals that while some educational institutions have integrated media literacy into their curricula, these efforts are inconsistent and lack comprehensive implementation. There is a noted deficiency in teacher training and resources, further hindering the effectiveness of media literacy education. The paper concludes that media literacy is an essential skill for young students, particularly in the context of the pervasive influence of social networks. However, the current state of media literacy education is inadequate to meet the challenges posed by the digital age. The inconsistency in educational approaches and the lack of standardized curricula leave many students unprepared to navigate the complexities of digital information. This gap highlights the urgent need for a more cohesive and comprehensive approach to media literacy education. To address these challenges, the paper recommends a multi-faceted strategy that involves collaboration between educators, parents, policymakers, and the tech industry. Educational institutions should prioritize the integration of media literacy into core curricula, supported by robust teacher training programs and the development of standardized teaching resources. Parents and caregivers should be encouraged to actively participate in their children's media education, fostering discussions about digital content and critical thinking. Policymakers should advocate for policies that support media literacy education, including funding for educational programs and initiatives that promote digital literacy. Finally, the tech industry should take an active role in promoting media literacy, developing tools that help users identify credible information and reduce the spread of misinformation. Overall, the paper underscores the critical importance of media literacy in empowering young students to navigate the digital world responsibly and critically. It calls for a concerted effort from all stakeholders to enhance media literacy education, ensuring that students are equipped with the skills necessary to become informed and engaged participants in the digital society.

MEDIJSKA PISMENOST UČENIKA ZAVRŠNIH RAZREDA OSNOVNE ŠKOLE U HNK

Author(s): Amela Medar,Alema Fazlić,Aida Džiho / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 4/2024

The concept of literacy, which once referred to the ability to read and write in the mother tongue, is changing in accordance with social, scientific and technological changes so that in the 21st century literacy is not only the ability to read and write, but also implies knowledge of information and communication technologies, critically thinking and the necessity of lifelong learning. Such changes also require changes in the educational system, i.e. media literacy of students from the period of elementary school, which is achieved through media education. In this paper, we will analyze the presence of content related to media education and media literacy in the following subjects: Bosnian language and literature, English language, Biology and Chemistry, and their impact on the development of critical thinking and media literacy of eighth and ninth grade elementary school students. After collecting the data for the purpose of developing the theoretical part of the work, we began to develop the methodological part, which represents the basis for empirical research of the problem. Using the methods of theoretical analysis and synthesis, descriptive and survey methods, we examined the connection between the content of the mentioned teaching subjects and media culture. The aim of the research was also to determine the inclusion of media content in the teaching of the mentioned subjects with an emphasis on the analysis of the most frequently used media and media content, the possibility of their critical evaluation by the students, as well as the ability to create their own media content.

Gesamtkunstwerk i multimedija – između auratskog i tehničkog

Author(s): Livia Pavletić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 25/2024

The idea of the text is to question the similarities and differences between the concepts of gesamtkunstwerk and multimedia. These are terms that presuppose the search for a new form of unification of artistic forms, at different times and in different ways. The key thinker (and artist) of gesamtkuntwerk or that orientation is the composer Richard Wagner. The theoretician who was at the crossroads of the worlds of traditional art and the contemporary technical sphere was Walter Benjamin. He begins a new line of writing about art, which is supported by theorists such as Marshall MacLuhan, Vilem Flusser, Friedrich Kittler, Jean Baudrillard, Dona Harway, Lev Manovich and Maurizio Lazarato. The text will present the idea of gesamtkunstwerk and compare it with some of the views of theorists who accepted or rejected this idea.

Крста Цицварић и београдска „жутa штaмпa“ у Краљевини Југославији

Author(s): Milivoj Bešlin,Petar Žarković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3/2023

This article explores the key features of tabloid journalism in Belgrade during the interwar period, focusing on Krsta Cicvarić’s work as a prime example. Cicvarić’s unique reporting approach, which involved falsehoods and misrepresentations, can be linked to the Blue Book brochure on the Serbian issue in 1909. This led to his reputation as the leading figure in Belgrade’s “yellow press.” Cicvarić’s publication, “Beogradski dnevnik,” circulated from 1912 to 1926, was distinguished by its provocative headlines and unconventional content. As the director of the “Balkan” newspaper, Cicvarić directed this nationalist publication towards the domain of tabloid journalism, with the paper gaining infamy for its blatant anti-Semitism and right-wing extremist views. Despite Cicvarić’s tabloid-style publications, they did not significantly impact public opinion due to the low literacy rates among most of the population and the influential reputation of notorious newspapers during that time.

In and Out of the Text: Polish 1920s Avant-garde Poetics of Pleasure

Author(s): Agnieszka Jeżyk / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2024

“We are related to enjoyment as something which intimately belongs to us, to our corporal existence and inner vitality, yet is separated from and independent from us, and thus can be surprising, bewildering, burdensome, disgusting, overwhelming, terrifying, thrilling, conflicted, uncanny, uncontrollable (and sometimes even pleasurable)” – claims Aaron Schuster (2016: 44). According to the theorist, enjoyment can manifest as its opposite, especially in the context of its representations in literature. In this essay, I would like to look at avant-garde erotic poems from the interwar period that address the fascinating entanglement of the bodily and the textual. The metaphors of reading and writing, lyrical dialogue between some of the poems, metatextual reflections on the nature of erotic poetry, and the problem of embodiment are some of the strategies that Bruno Jasieński (Moja nieśmiertelność [My Immortality], Słowo o słowie [A Word about a Word], Na bis [An Encore]), Tadeusz Peiper (Naga [Naked], Ja, Ty [Me, You]), and Mila Elin (Książka [The Book], Głód [Hunger]) use to discuss the joys and challenges of trying to represent jouissance in the text. The starting point for my reflection is Alenka Zupančič’s diagnosis of a similar type of satisfaction coming from sex and talking about sex and her insights on the procedures of intellectualizing sexuality.
