След COVID-19: Промяна в дневния ред на творческата индустрия на медиите и финансова криза в спорта

Author(s): Desislava Frantsova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

COVID-19 impacted people, economic sectors and entire industries. The Media and Creative industry, which play an important role in the life of the society, also underwent changes. That is why I believe this topic is important and relevant and should be analyzed. In my research, I will emphasize on the sports media, where changes of the modus operandi and everyday work of journalists were observed. The financial crisis provoked from the coronavirus has affected athletes, clubs and the running of major championships. Moreover, it had a massive impact on the media as it changed radically the content of television programs.

Człowiek – Boże igrzysko

Author(s): Robert A. Sucharski / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Starting from the Old Polish proverb "Człowiek – Boże igrzysko" ("Man – A God’s Plaything") the paper discusses the previous etymological attempts to decipher the very meaning of the lexeme/sign human in Polish/Slavic, Greek, Latin and Hebrew, arguing that not only the signifié of the sign human deserves to be called "A God’s Plaything", but does it also its nominal signifiant.

Rosyjscy czytelnicy "Konrada Wallenroda"

Author(s): Maria Prussak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In Russia Adam Mickiewicz quickly earned respect and a prominent position in the democratic literary society. Konrad Wallenrod, translated in prose by Stefan Shevyriev and published in 1828 a few months after the Polish edition immediately became very popular and by 1834 its fragments had been translated twenty times. The reception of the poem is paradoxical; in a description of the withdrawal of freezing Teutonic Knights defeated by Lithuanians the Russians saw Napoleon’s flight from Moscow. Thus, surprisingly, a picture of the same event captured in a poem about a fight for freedom has a different meaning to two nations. Therefore Konrad Wallenrod confirms Stefanowska’s thesis of “poetry dominating over truth”.

Józef Jowialski jako alegoria

Author(s): Jerzy Axer / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The title character in Aleksander Fredro’s comedy Pan Jowialski [Mr Jovial] has been a bone of contention for scholars interpreting the work ever since its world premiere in Lwów in 1832. The paper briefly outlines the main threads in these disputes and proposes a new interpretive perspective. An analysis of Act IV, Scene 1 reveals that the allegorical picture sketched by Wiktor the painter is based on entries from Rev. Alojzy Osiński’s "Słownik mitologiczny" ["Dictionary of Mythology"] (Warszawa 1806–1812). Fredro had this book in his reference library. Transformations and modifications of dictionary expressions enable Fredro to create his own allegorical composition engaging all of the stage characters. Jowialski himself becomes this world’s central figure: “Jove”. This scene, usually shrugged off as a “stage gag”, might thus be recognised as the playwright’s instructions explaining the scheme of the whole comedy.

Bez biografii

Author(s): Agata Zalewska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The title’s “no biography” points directly to the aim of the paper, namely an interpretation of Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz’s Tatarak [Calamus] that suspends the biographical context. This particular work in the writer’s oeuvre seems to require such a construal. When read – most often – as a text that is autobiographical or contains evident references to the writer’s biography, it loses its uniqueness. It thus becomes little more than an excuse for increasingly bold comparisons between the feelings of the protagonist, Marta, and the passion felt by Iwaszkiewicz himself from his infatuation with a much younger man. Meanwhile, the artistic magnitude of this short story by no means lies in any biographical context, but in the system of meanings it creates and utilises. Starting from the composition (including a story-within-a-story structure), through the portrayal of the characters, all the way to the significance of the title’s sweet-flag plant.

Ciało Grochowiaka

Author(s): Halszka Witkowska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The text “Body of Grochowiak. Turpism or resurrection” is an analysis of Stanislaw Grochowiak’s poetic aesthetics, through the prism of how he describes the human body. The author questions the thesis, well-established in literary research, that Grochowiak was a turpist poet, focused on death, ugliness and pain. However, it shows how important the context in which the poet was creating is. Showing humanity through images devoid of Arcadian beauty is a fuller perspective, thanks to which poetry becomes more human, helps to disenchant the cruel reality by giving new meanings to suffering. It can not only become a companion of everyday life, but also help to find a language to tell about the post-war reality, often filled with pain and lack of hope.

Dręcząca nieoczywistość znaku (na podstawie opowiadania Vladimira Nabokova "Znaki i symbole")

Author(s): Teresa Dobrzyńska-Janusz / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article analyses the problem of recognition of sings and relevant understanding of their respective meanings, as well as the question of in what ways interpretative hypotheses determining the content of a literary work are conditional upon the reader’s cultural competencies and worldview assumptions. These considerations are related to my interpretation of Nabokov’s short story Signs and Symbols, which turns into a series of alternative readings. The ambiguity of the Nabokov text can be regarded as an expression of the author’s cognitive relativism. The proposed analysis leads to the conclusion that the story is about a cognitive drama of a human who endeavours to understand what is (or is not) a sign and what is happening in the reality surrounding him.

Bohaterowie swoich czasów

Author(s): Hanna Paulouskaya / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In contrast to the great Hollywood productions, ancient mythology entered Soviet screens in the form of animated cartoons for children. Ideological by nature, USSR culture adopted and changed for its needs also ancient myths and their heroes. This article analyses what changes took place and what meaning ancient heroes acquired in Soviet productions of the 1970s and 1980s. The subject of the analysis is the series of animations “Legends and Myths of Ancient Greece” (1969–1974) directed by Aleksandra Snezhko-Blotskaia and the film “Narodziny Heraklesa” (1982) directed by Yulian Kalisher.

„38 litrów wody, czyli trzy czwarte twojego ciała…”

Author(s): Marek Kaźmierczak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The paper refers to the film directed by Lech Majewski titled "The Garden of Earthly Delights". The author of this paper suggests an interpretation built on nihilism to be able to show that human is a kind of mistake of nothingness. We can think about art in a similar way that means that art is a kind of mistake of life in a biological sense. The word mistake can find positive meanings, but it depends of the experience of love, good or beauty. The film "The Garden of Earthly Delights" functions as the image full of intertextual connections is worth of cognition and understanding.

Tworzywo i znaczenie – rola fotografii w filmie Raula de la Fuente i Damiana Nenowa "Jeszcze dzień życia"

Author(s): Izabela Tomczyk-Jarzyna / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article focuses on the role of photography in the film “Another Day of Life” inspired by Ryszard Kapuściński’s prose of the same title. Photography was used to prepare artistic concepts and create the figure of main characters. Photography as an element of the film material was subject to activity similar to the collage method. As a semantic element, the act of photographing allowed to mark the moment of blurring the boundaries between text and image in the process of getting to know the world and blurring spatial relations. These ambiguous decisions were used by the authors to tell about Kapuściński’s birth as a writer.

O semiotyce kultury cyfrowej na przykładzie dyskursu sztuki

Author(s): Ewa Szczęsna / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In this text the author reflects on the semiotic existence of culture discourses in connection with the rapid development of digital technology. The author analyzes selected texts of digital art as examples of the transformation in how works of literature, sculpture, or film exist. The article covers how movable font, which changes in shape and color, participates in shaping literary meanings; the creation of semiotic and interactive figures; the textualization of the user’s actions and body; dematerialization; processuality; narrativization; the temporalizing of sculpture which changes before the eyes of the recipient; the presence of alternative narratives in literature and film; multi-variant plots co-created by the recipient; and the artistic use of other discourses. The author proves that the structure and specificity of the digital sign lies at the base of the changes. The digital sign is immaterial, programmable, and hybrid, and combines aspects of expression, meaning, and action, which makes it efficient.

Studia postižení

Author(s): Hana Porkertová / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

The chapter talks about the development of disability studies and its key points such as the intersection of activism and academia, the social model of disability, or interconnection of various disciplines. The ways of thinking about ability, disability, normal and abnormal bodies and people, are highly formed by the society—by education, media, expert and lay discourses ranging from medicine to social policy—and influence how cities, streets and houses are designed. Therefore, the aim of disability studies is to change the discourses and modes of behavior so that they are more inclusive. The chapter discusses beginnings of this field at the interconnections of activism and academia, and its difficult position in the Czech Republic, where it is not an established major at any university. Here, especially the public discourse revolves around the medical model of disability that sees the core of the problem in one’s impairment, instead of focusing on disabling processes leading to discrimination, which the social model of disability, pivotal for disability studies, does. However, the chapter also discusses various critiques of the social model.

Digital interaction, new ways of processing and interpreting data, the sense of connectivity and the speed of over-response of stakeholders leads to the challenge of a „race against time“ in response to crises. The chain reaction of the movement of information leads to changes in crisis communications. Deeply influenced by these changes, the field of crisis PR seeks the most rational research tools in management practices. In this article, we claim that in case of systemic crises and threats to organization and trust, media monitoring platforms are a key tool. In the context of theoretical synthesis based on international studies, comparative and comparative analysis shall be used.

FIGHTING POLYCEPHALIC THREATS – THE SECURITY ENVIRONMENT IN TIMES OF PANDEMICS AND INFODEMICS

Author(s): MARIN George-Sorin / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The expression “the world is facing a crisis” almost became a cliché these days. During the global response to fight the COVID-19 crisis, a developing kind of threat gained new valences and the capacity to spread almost instantly, due to the characteristics of the information Age we live in. The over-abundance of information generated a new challenge for humanity and affected the process of finding reliable, trustworthy sources of information during the pandemic. Propaganda, false narratives and disinformation inhibit governmental processes aimed to overcome the crisis. Strategic decisions have to take into consideration multiple risks and factors in order to prevent both infections and intoxications. Therefore, the security environment has the complex mission to manage a sanitary crisis that endangers the health of populations all over the world in a new type of confrontation – a campaign against polychephalic threats.

FROM FAKE NEWS TO REAL NEWS WITH A TWIST: DISINFORMATION AND COVID-19 NARRATIVES

Author(s): Iulia Anghel / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Given the major shift in perception, communication and identity triggered by the pandemic over the last two years, the use of digital tools to guide patterns of association, mobilization and action seems more powerful than ever. Although Fake News has been making headlines since the early days of globalization, its later developments revealed interesting conjectures on topics such as the rise of non-state hegemons, the ascent of digital diasporas, deterritorialization, or post-politics. In this context, the distances between fake news and reality tend to be blurred by the intervention of interpretive bias, while the role of public’s beliefs, latent iconography and power mythology becomes more critical. Following this argument, the paper looks at some of the emerging trends in fake news and master narratives in digital media, also tackling the implications triggered by their potential use in the context of hybrid confrontation.
