Contemporary institutions of higher education (HEI) need to face the challenge of responding to more and more dynamic pace of reality transformation. That process itself requires development of strategies, facilitating support and quality monitoring in education. Evaluation, which is being applied more often and more effectively nowadays, happens to be one of them, also changing its functionality and adjusting relevant procedures.

Demotivatory kak semiotičeskie fenomeny

Author(s): Natalia Góra / Language(s): Russian Issue: 8/2014

In this article, I gave into consideration the essence of creating demotivators (memes). To fully illustrate their idea, I conducted two surveys which I asked about features and needs fulfilled by these cultural texts. I presented some information about the history, the artists and the “intentions” of so-called demotivating posters. From the bunch of daily created internet memes I chose those that over the years present the highest heads of the Russian state: Boris Yeltsin, Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Medvedev. The most essential demotivator which I have collected is their shared picture, assembled for the purpose of artistic moment, topped with a remarkable commentary. I think that the phenomenon of demotivators can be described as semiotics because they have a significant impact on society. They allow us to evaluate how the spiritual condition of the mass media human is changing. They come from a semiotic system that should be considered in the linguistic context

Multiple meaning of this term, has its implications in perception – of the part of academic environment – education as the activity „reserved” for children and youth, but no longer for students.
