The idea of the university arose in a situation of crisis and was the answer to that crisis. It was the a crisis especially of the institution of learning which had to face an enormous increase of new informations and mere facts, a paradigm shift in understanding the sciences, a confrontation with conflicting models of scientific explanations and beliefs and their impact on society, and finally a meeting of cultures in a more globalized world around the Mediterranean Sea, crossing even the boarders of that Mediterranean world. I am speaking of the 12th and 13th century and I have chosen the perspective of the Latin West, where in fact in Bologna and Paris the idea of the university arose. In 1200 the founding charter of the university of Paris was issued.

I would like to show with the help of the hermeneutic tool, which I examine – the philosophical concept boundary – the Byzantine thinkers' solution in the face of Maximus the Confessor of the well-known problem with the symbolical interpretation of the sacraments and the Church in The Ecclesiastical Hierarchy by Pseudo-Dionysius the Aeropagite. By Maximus is to be found one very specific for the Byzantine thinking dynamic asymmetry of the participation and of the indwelling of the energies, based on the unmeasurable difference between the intensity ant the purity of Gods essential energies and the energies of every created nature. Therefore we may say, that the perichoresis acts as a negative boundary, insofar it actually leads to the indefinable dynamic limit of essential energetic interacting between the finite and the infinite nature, without forming any conceptional understanding of the Communion. This prevents the interpretation of the sacraments purely symbolic. The dynamic of the anagogical symbolism of Dionysius is as mach strong as by Maximus, but it always presupposes the distinctive thinking, which has to separate the material part of the symbol and the several sense levels of the invisible part of the boundary symbolic integrity.

In a globalized information society, the institutional machinery - willing to promote media policy in the framework of the “knowledge economy” - may stand only wishful-thinking, if media literacy is not utilized as a boon for citizens facing new forms of Medias. Communication on TV in the public sphere is no longer located in the industrial era, described by J. Habermas with his notion of “discursive democracy”. In a more complex and subject to conflict public space, policy-makers have to integrate and manage contradictions as regards the economic vision of global public goods and the ethical vision of the common good. In a competitive industrial environment, the notion of cultural diversity - seen in Europe as a common good (before the WTO and UNESCO) - is supposed to combine the promotion of European citizenship, to respect local identities and to implement national industries in a global context. The EU tries timidly to fit into globalization as a soft power in order to collude with new cultural players, but remains a fragmented power among nations searching for a direction.

The European Union is in crisis. Economic crisis, but also political crisis and symbolic crisis: the citizens distrust Europe which does not have clear project anymore Our hypothesis is that the solidarity economy can contribute to the emergence of a new European, clear and mobilizing project. A project offering new socioeconomic perspectives to the European citizens and an attractive utopia. This text will take place in four phases. In a first part, we shall describe the exhaustion of paradigm liberal and the limits of paradigm keynesian. Secondly, we shall try hard to demonstrate the theoretical possibility of establishing new one paradigm. In the third time, we shall illustrate this possibility by revisiting, in the light of the European solidarity initiatives, three economic notions keys. Finally, in a last time, we shall try hard to show in what the solidarity economy , which makes some deliberation between equals the best means assign all resources, can contribute to bring)out the European construction of the current impasse.

The News is one of the main programs on TV. In this regard, many investigations are concerned with TV News tackling the problem of the specificity of the audiovisual media. So, descriptive methods were designed to investigate conception and writing processes. Today, the emerging forms (non-stop news TV channels, no comment images TV), revitalize the information processing at television.Carrying on with the analyses of Compte & Mouchon, 1990, this paper develops a method to examine the news productions in a relevant way. To do so, this article advocates the use of MCR, Méthode générale de Conceptualisation Relativisée based upon knowledge weaving theory (Mugur-Schächter, 2006). This study analysed a few TV news programs by using MCR tools. The method was applied to a corpus of news programs which were broadcasted the same day by two French channels. The study revealed the specificities of the present TV innovations.

This report examines the trends in the experiences of U.S. journalism and mass communication students and graduates who picked a broadcast specialization and how academic programs in the country have tried to respond to the challenges that have been brought to the traditional media by the economic crisis and by the new technologies. Graduates of U.S. journalism and mass communication programs have confronted a very tough job marker in recent years. The data reviewed in this article show three historical patterns of importance for the broadcasting and telecommunications segments of the U.S. labor market. First, the industry has enjoyed a very close relationship with universities that provide the vast majority of its entry-level employees. Second, the market for the graduates being produced by those programs is very weak. Third, university enrollments have not been greatly affected by the weak labor market, though there are suggestions that enrollments may be about to decline. So far, the universities have responded to the industry changes by adding course offerings focusing on skills that the new market seems to require, but they have not altered their basic structures.

This material wishes to highlight the way in which the main political alliances have been formed in Romania in the last 20 years, as well as the way they have been reflected in the media. Moreover, we have tried to analyze the involvement of journalists and political analysts in explaining these political events. The study will focus on four political alliances, namely: CDR (the Romanian Democratic Convention), D.A. (Y.E.S. - Justice and Truth between PNL – the National Liberal Party and PD - the Democratic Party), ACD (the Centre-Right Alliance between PNL and PC – the Conservative Party) and USL (the Social- Liberal Union between PSD – the Social Democrat Party, PNL and PC).

Our present study continues to provide guidance and meaning for those who are open and have the courage to ask the kind of questions superior to reason. The acceptance of unreasonable realities expresses sometimes the portrait of a non modern and superstitious man, a portrait dismantled by the contemporary science in order to get the assurance of control over the material and spiritual reality around us. However, the acceptance of unreasonable realities, born by the reason’s questions, expresses in other circumstances the access to super-reason and super-faith. The Light and the Grace from super-existence toward the human nature, and the implications these have, as a divine communication method and metaphors, and as a call to dialogic sharing with the Divine, are the objects of our present study. Superreason and super-faith can and must characterize also the modern man. The Light and the Grace express both the cause and the means; God who is Light and Grace does communicate Himself in a salvific manner through Light and Grace, and we, as destinations of Light and of Grace can communicate ourselves as Light and Grace to our neighbours.

Now, issues of identity and representation are at the heart of media debates or historical. This concept of regional identity is, indeed, largely mobilized by the actors in these media networks. We chose to direct our communication on the question of media coverage of regional identities in France by referring to the case of Corsica. For, in Corsica, the themes of community and cultural identity are now at the heart of political debates island. The fact insular (island, image ...) precisely defines the contours of this "community" human. It enabled the flourishing of culture, language and structures of society homogeneous, despite significant regional differences in micro. Now, television is becoming a major issue to try to impose this cultural revival, especially as regards the issue of regional television. What is the role of of television in promoting this culture?

The article shows that the internet has become more and more important for election campaigns, but cannot replace television as (central) mass medium for campaigning. It is argued that that potential of the internet and the potential of television for election campaigns is completely different. As a consequence, television is substantially complemented, but not substituted by the internet.

With the increase of distribution networks and smart terminals, the supposed personalization of television consumption, and the competition for new audiovisual contents, a true breaking of shared audiovisual distribution occurs. The basic principles of television programming are disrupted. Less dependent on the consumption time and place, from linear it becomes modular and multimodal. The active viewer is then the principal target. For (re)conquering him, the programme planner will have to make his choice and find the good combination between connected TV, social TV, advanced EPG, new user interfaces, production of multi or trans-media contents. With these “tools”, he has to elaborate a new plan capable of defining a durable business model ensuring continuity in the actual industrial environment. So television programming, first historically imposed as a rendezvous television model, more and more aims at an assisted programming in a connected and social television model in search of a new balance. Thus, proposing connections between linear and non-linear programming, consolidating channels and TV packages identities by offering “shop window-schedules” deployed in time and space are a few new challenges for the programme planner of the future.

Since the first experiment of transmitting television pictures in 1926 by Scottish Baird, things have changed exponentially in the television industry. It all really started by the American Zworykin who in 1929 devised the first electronic television set. From images in black and white, we got to color televisions. A feat of new technologies, but some will predict through this encounter the television’s death. Unlike them, we see in this marriage, a new era of the television industry. This article proposes to explore the issue since the "coopetition" between television and ICT, to the current state of television, and futurists’ predictions.

Im Husserls Werk treten drei interpretatorische Begriffe auf, die systematisch zur Bestimmung der Intentionalität und der phänomenologischen Methode gebraucht werden. Die Entwicklung des phänomenologischen Erfahrungsbegriffs erwächst nämlich aus der Entfaltung des Auffassungsbegriffs, welche ihrerseits eine korrelative Umbildung der phänomenologischen Beschreibungsmethode fördert. Denn sie führt zur Gestaltung intentionaler Analysen als Auslegungen der apperzeptiven Horizonte, die den Sinn der Akte mitbestimmen. Interpretation taucht endlich in den 20er Jahren auf, weil in diesem Zusammenhang intentionale Inhalte nur noch angesichts der intersubjektiven Übereinstimmung gegenüber einer objektiven „Welt für jedermann“ bestimmt werden können.
