Summary/Abstract: Let the readers not be surprised by the multitude of topics, issues and research positions presented in the publication. The authors have taken up the challenge – following the clues that Professor Barbara Bogołębska has left behind in the many years of her scientific career. Rhetoric, journalism, stylistics, literary studies, media, poetics, persuasion – these are the most important. The volume dedicated to Professor Bogołębska is an opportunity to see the practical application of various methodological approaches, journalism techniques and reflections on the creative process. We hope that media communication researchers, professionals as well as humanities students, will find it to be an inspiration for individual, multidisciplinary studies leading to a better understanding of the phenomena that we witness and participate in.

- Summary/Abstract:The majority of popular Polish dictionaries of literary terms, which define even longextinctand specific genres, ex. Japanese or Indian drama, probably do not containany basic information on the genre, appearing in European (and not only) literaturefor at least 23 centuries until this day. Genethliakon is a confirmed genre since thetimes of Kallimach (3rd century B.C.), which honors the birth or anniversary of birth, sometimes of a lyrical, dramatized or rhetoric-epic nature. Nowadays, it is still cultivatedin many languages of the world (also in Latin, accordingly to its tradition). This article shows progression of this genre in the European tradition. First birthdaysongs (most often by recalling the Apollonian connotations), connected the birthof man with light and poetry. What is particularly interesting, the basic features ofgenethliacon’s „genes” have not undergone significant changes over the centuries.Celebrating birth, anniversaries or other jubilees is still associated with wishes,offering gifts – including the creation of poetry. Perhaps such beautiful traditionis worth maintaining by giving someone a self-written song like… Genetliacon Barbarae Bogołębskae dedicatum.

- Summary/Abstract:Rhetoric is not only a methodology of the humanities; it is the most important science given to us by ancient philosophers. It defines the methods of argumentation from the uncertain, the theory of texts, but more importantly – it is a tool for organizing our thoughts and preparing works which aim for persuasion – getting the knowledge, not the opinion (Kant). However, as we know, the language we use is extremely unreliable. Plato and Aristotle warned us against that. At the same time, they built the foundations of techne rhetorike, which systemic shape we owe to Quintilianus. Rhetoric, as both – ancient and modern scholars have claimed, is not a grammar dictionary; it is rather an analogue of logic (Volkmann). As Wilhelm Windelband says: “thanks to grammar and rhetoric we have learned the correct rules of thinking”. The author draws not only from the tradition of research on rhetoric, but also from language theory – mainly referring to the tradition of the Viennese Circle (Der Wiener Kreis). As far as the achievements of contemporary linguistics and contemporary research on the philosophical foundations of language research are taken into account – the perspective set by both Immanuel Kant and researchers from the Der Wiener Kreis circle is dominant here. The purpose of this study is not only to remind Windelbad’s thesis, but also to prove it wholistically.

- Keywords:rhetoric;style;metalanguage;academic discourse;popularization
- Summary/Abstract:The paper applies rhetorical framework of three styles (genera dicendi) to highlight some of the communicative practices within the academic discourse. By using persuasive resources of the low style, the authors focus on the rhetorical goal of docere/probare, i.e. to teach/to prove. Ascetic sobriety of the low style suggests no stylization to the readers, which further implies that the content mirrors reality without any rhetorical mediation. In opting for the persuasive resources of the medium style, researchers combine epistemic and aesthetic goals – trying to achieve the rhetorical aim of delectare, i.e. to delight. This intriguing style attracts reader’s attention to the intellectual complexities of the academic text. The high style suits best rhetorical goal of movere, i.e. to move, to ‘call to action’. It presents scientific research as a useful resource and it helps readers while making decisions; hence it is likely to be used by engaged scholars and public intellectuals.

- Summary/Abstract:The article focuses on persuasion techniques used by media broadcasters in selfpromotional activities. These techniques are a specific way, in which the broadcaster acts in the communication process. Certain elements of this process can be emphasized or modified in order to increase its impact. The starting point of this article was an assumption, that the selection of persuasive techniques is derivatized from such rhetorical determinants, as the context of functioning of the media (ex. The effects of technological changes: the unification of media products, the exponential increase in the amount of information, the increasing global competition). Also, planned target groups and objective of the broadcaster. The research material allows to distinct persuasion techniques implemented at three levels in self-promotional activities of media broadcasters: 1) ways of transmitting the information (ex. Repetition and targeting audiences), 2) content (ex. positive selection technique, fragmentation, use of the unavailability rule, displaying the benefits from interacting with the medium, increasing the attractiveness of the communication by referring to broadly respected authorities) and 3) the forms of communication (uniqueness technique).

- Keywords:Litzmannstadt;Nazi propaganda;World War II
- Summary/Abstract:The article discusses activities of the Nazi propaganda in Litzmannstadt (Nazi name for Lodz, Poland). Said propaganda promoted central concepts of fascist ideology such as Volk, land and leadership in battle. The goal of political and military action was to restore and maintain the cultural domination over other nations. The Nazi state was ethnically, linguistically and racially uniform – it lacked the concept of tolerance towards ethnic minorities. An important feature of this propaganda was its impact on the activities of administrative organs.

- Summary/Abstract:An interview as a form of journalistic genre was created in the first half of 19th century. The authoress is researching how this form was constructed in the first century of its existence. The material used in the article is based on the anthology Press Interviews of All Times by Ch. Silvester. Genre analysis shows that from the beginning interlocutors were people chosen on the basis of having something interesting to say on the subject. From the structural point of view one may say that first interviews had been formed as a dialogue between two people presenting pragmatic quantities: a journalist and a person worth to be published in the newspaper. A form parallel to these were interviews with narrative element, similar to the form of report. The authoress is pointing out the similarities between interview and a report.

- Keywords:communication;discourse;press discourse;journalism;genre of speech
- Summary/Abstract:The article has been conceived as an attempt to characterize a particular press publication in the shape of a genre collection. It is an extra to „Tygodnik Powszechny” (No. 29, 2018) under the title “Festiwal Stolica Języka Polskiego” (“Festival the Capital of the Polish Language)”. The publication reproduces a form of press magazine, since apart from the festival program, it includes: an editorial, interviews, reviews, commentaries and silhouettes of selected participants of the festival. Therefore, we deal with a co-occurrence of particular utterances at a specific place and time, typical for a collection. The function of notification about a cultural event (the festival) and the function of promoting the event can be ascribed to the whole issue. The author analyzes the abovementioned publication in the discursive perspective, and so she draws attention to specified communication practices, typical of contemporary press that create a complicated network of strategies, goals and forms of communication, contributing to the shape of contemporary journalism. The analytic purpose of the article is to present a communication polymorphism of a particular set of press utterances that interpret a specified reality and aim at convincing the readers to this interpretation. Particular utterances are treated as voices, i.e. communicatively (pragmatically) and formally shaped types of language activities.

- Keywords:children’s magazines;media literacy;reading education;reading
- Summary/Abstract:The main purpose of the article is to answer how magazines for children can be a tool of media literacy – defined as knowledge in media reception; also, as building the habit of reading and buying magazines. Hypothesis: In literature, it is widely accepted that the press for children can be an effective tool for building reading habits. However, this area of press market must struggle with downfall in readership of the printed media in confrontation with the expansion of digital ones. Methodology: The author analyzes existing data (including reports) and scientific research from media studies, pedagogy, media education and media psychology. It is a review article. It is embedded in media studies, but is due to its references to pedagogy, education and technological issues, it can be considered interdisciplinary.

- Page Range:167-179
- No. of Pages:13
- Keywords:personalism;modernism;awareness;subjectivity;freedom;conscience
- Summary/Abstract:The specificity of Karol Wojtyla’s anthropology is the synthesis of objectivity and subjectivity, which combines alletic and agapical motives. On the one hand, by accepting the modern anthropological turn, he attempts to synthesize classical philosophy of being with the philosophy of consciousness, and on the other, he strives to correct the extreme anthropocentrism of modern thought. The author of the article analyzes Wojtyla’s relationship of awareness and subjectivity with the personal style of the pastoral ministry of John Paul II, who proclaimed man as “the main way of the Church”. The other pillar of analysis is the question about the meaning of human freedom. In Wojtyla’s thought and in the teachings of John Paul II, considerations about freedom as the basic property of human being are combined with a reflection on its ethical dimension.

- Keywords:discourse;work;interpretation;communicativism;participation
- Summary/Abstract:In terms of communicativism, a discourse is a space of meanings created by interpreting the work – its points remaining in our memory and being evoked only to the degree demanded by our communicational needs. Meanings forming an exemplary discourse constitute a reference base, therefore a specific logic. One must learn how to participate in individual discourses. Considering the general communicational goal and a specific reference base of meaning we can distinguish colloquial, scientific, official, journalistic and artistic discourse. Each of these can contain a specific sub-discourse. Works created within individual discourse or sub-discourse can take both – verbal and visual form and introduce a different set of rules of interpretation, which must be learnt by the person participating in it. Discourses develop and exist in their own interpretational field – widened and improved by its participants. People who do not constantly take part in given discourse fall out of line with its convention. However, we ought to remember that people have different degrees of willingness to participate in each discourse.

- No. of Pages:14
- Keywords:personality;temptation;legalism;morality;social norms
- Summary/Abstract:The phenomenon of succumbing to temptation has received many studies in the field of ethnography, sociology or in general – the research on morality. However, its results are different in the case of musings based in social psychology. My review of literature in abovementioned, pointed me to the existence of two dominant research perspectives in the studies on the subject: the perspective of proper resocialization psychology (describing the phenomenon in terms of antisocial behavior) and psychology of morality. The results of studies show that in most cases, people tend to be tempted to take advantages in order to gain some advantages, despite the declared recognition of legal and ethical norms prohibiting the appropriation of other people’s property. This note becomes the starting point for the author of this article. What else, if not legal legalism, can be a buffer to deter a man from temptation? The paper presents the research on the relationship between personality and succumbing to temptation.

- Keywords:artistic inspiration;creativity;visual communication;composition;formal structure of the image;formal narration;theory of vision;verbal communication;visual communication
- Summary/Abstract:The article “Initiation of the artistic message” is an attempt to answer the question: When and for what reason does the initiation of the artistic message appear? The analysis leading to the final conclusion was carried out on the basis of autoethnographic analysis from the process of creating the „Monument to the Origins of the City of Lodz”. The main theme was the search for the border between the procreative state and the creative one during the artist’s work on the work. The analysis shows that: „Regardless of whether I’m working on a sculpture that was commissioned or sculpted only for myself, the process of initiating pre-creative and creative states looks similar. I always start my work from collecting materials. I proceed as the constructivists want, I carry out the recognition of elements relating to various differential systems. […] I am aware t that the expected state of transition from pre-creative to creative state can occur at any time. Today, after many years, I know that it is not worth assessing the value of the collected materials, the initiation of the creative state will come by itself ”. The essence of initiating a creative attitude is to develop the skill of observing the reality surrounding the artist, and what is more important to develop the skills of extracting from it what already in all this complicated process is what we used to call – inspiration. The boundary of the pre-creative and creative state arises at the moment when the artist makes the decision to transfer the noticed fragment of reality to the work being created. The evaluation of the value of a work of art is a separate issue that has been omitted in the article

- Summary/Abstract:Following its latest intensification in 2015, the migrant crisis has become one of the most prevalent topics in media. Over the months, the overflow of reports led to public indifference towards refugees’ struggles. The migrants – stereotypically perceived as aliens – were to be treated as expendable and useless, which resulted in growing tensions and social division on the subject. The author of this article intends to prove that a feature, especially a radio one can be one of the ways to encourage dialogue between cultures. Following the thoughts of Ryszard Kapuściński and Emmanuel Levinas, the author claims that encountering “The Other” is amongst the most important challenges of the 21st century. The three radio features analyzed in the article seem to validate the medium of radio as one that may be a way to fight ‘globalized passivity’.
