Understanding Radicalisation: Review of Literature

Author(s): Rositsa Dzhekova,Nadya Stoyanova,Anton Kojouharov,Mila Mancheva,Dia Anagnostou,Emil Tsenkov / Language(s): English

The phenomena of radicalisation today develop and change at high speed, with their extreme forms manifested globally. The destructive dimensions of (violent) Islamist or right-wing radicalisation have become dramatically visible in Europe posing serious challenges to European societies. This literature review presents key academic conceptualisations and debates on the phenomena оf radicalisation that might lead to violence. It deals with three different forms of radicalisation, including Islamist radicalisation, right-wing as well as left-wing radicalisation. In addition, an overview is provided of current academic debates regarding the role of the internet in radicalisation processes. The review is intended to help social scientists who are entering the field of radicalisation studies navigate through the complexity of underlying processes and factors that lead different individuals or groups to adopt radical ideas and commit acts of violence. The review is particularly relevant for countries of Central and Eastern Europe where radicalisation remains understudied, although most countries in the region share histories of extremism and political radicalism

DROGI KARIERY

Author(s): Teresa Chirkowska-Smolak,Aleksander Hauziński,Marcin Łaciak / Language(s): Polish

Książka wpisuje się znacząco w nurt dyskusji nad teoretycznymi, empirycznymi i praktycznymi problemami rozwoju zawodowego dzieci i młodzieży. Oprócz rzetelnego warsztatu i realistycznego podejścia widać w niej wyraźnie piętno osobistych przemyśleń autorów oraz poszukiwań nowego spojrzenia na pozornie dość dobrze znane kwestie. Dzięki temu publikacja przedstawia oryginalne ujęcie poruszanych tematów, a jednocześnie pokazuje w przystępny sposób zagadnienia, które w większości są intuicyjnie znane, wyczuwane lub bliskie.

PIĘKNE BRZYDACTWO

Author(s): Katarzyna Schier / Language(s): Polish

Książka Katarzyny Schier "Piękne brzydactwo" – psychologiczna problematyka obrazu ciała i jego zaburzeń to pierwsza w Polsce naukowa monografia na ten temat. Autorka odwołuje się do różnych perspektyw – kulturowej, rodzinnej i wewnątrzpsychicznej, przedstawia dane z literatury, wyniki badań empirycznych oraz studia osób (przypadków). Stawia tezę, że zaburzenia psychosomatyczne są pomostem między ciałem i psychiką. Zdaniem Katarzyny Schier „ciało jest składane w ofierze, jest poświęcane po to, aby człowiek nie konfrontował się z psychicznym bólem”; to m.in. próba ochrony w umyśle dobrego wizerunku najbliższych osób. W książce analizowane są różne sposoby modyfikacji obrazu ciała, prowadzące do tego, że Brzydactwo ma szansę stać się Piękne. Książka dr hab. Katarzyny Schier traktuje o kształtowaniu się obrazu ciała, jego zaburzeniach i sposobach modyfikacji. Jest kolejnym dziełem autorki podejmującej trudną problematykę zaburzeń psychosomatycznych. Jest książką znakomitą, przybliżającą czytelnikowi tę problematykę, między innymi także dzięki niezwykle jasnemu językowi, bogatemu w piękne metafory i wnikliwym opisom klinicznym stanowiącym ilustrację tez teoretycznych. (...) Największą jednak zaletą tej publikacji, która niewątpliwie znajdzie natychmiast rzesze wiernych czytelników nie tylko wśród profesjonalistów, jest przewijające się na jej kartach przesłanie o możliwościach zamiany „brzydkiego kaczątka” w „pięknego łabędzia”. - prof. dr hab. med. Irena Namysłowska ///  Książka jest nietypowa pod kilkoma względami i świetnie obrazuje styl pracy Autorki. Jest nietypowa i unikalna, ponieważ Autorka przedstawia dwa rodzaje dowodów empirycznych na poparcie formułowanych tez – dane z własnych badań prowadzonych zgodnie ze standardami metodologii naukowej i dane z terapii pacjentów. To połączenie jest niezwykle atrakcyjne i pokazuje, że można dla celów naukowych czerpać z różnych źródeł. - prof. dr hab. Marina Zalewska

Binationale Diskursanalyse. Grundlagen und Fallstudien zum deutsch-polnischen medialen Gegendiskurs

Author(s): Dorota Kaczmarek / Language(s): German

In general, the focus of the monograph “Binational Discourse Analysis. Foundations and Case Studies of the German-Polish Competitive Media Discourse” is the question of how the Polish-German political reality between 2006 and 2017 is medially re(constructed). For this reason, practices, methods and means, with the help of which German and Polish media players generate the discursive image of bilateral relations, are targeted and highlighted in this thesis. The concept of competitive media discourse corresponds both in its theoretical foundation and empirical methods to this research-oriented starting position. The competitive discourse shall be considered a competitor to the concrete discourse, “competition” being understood as various types, forms and manifestations of competition in the media between discourse and competitive discourse. In order to look at the question of how from different angles, the monograph comprises three parts, in which the focus is placed on the following aspects: - Localisation of the competitive discourse within the field of discourse;- Operationalisation of the competitive discourse by means of discursive description parameters such as action, power, text and knowledge; - Visualisation of the competitive discourse. In the theoretical part, the text and discourse linguistic foundations of the competitive discourse are thus determined, and its analysis programme is formulated in the binational context. For the practical implementation and confirmation of the correctness of theoretical assumptions, analysis model of the competitive media discourse based on discourse linguistics (AMEG) is designed, the application of which is verified on the basis of four representative case studies, namely the conflict over displaced people, over Erika Steinbach, over refugees and, in general, over mutual relations. Using the interdisciplinarily-based concept of the binational competitive media discourse, the aim of this thesis is to make a contribution to discourse linguistics characterised by text linguistics and to the multimodal text linguistics. In addition, a bridge to multimodal discourse analysis is to be built. The research results can also be useful for university didactics purposes.

Teoria komunikowania masowego. Skrypt dla studentów dziennikarstwa i komunikacji społecznej

Author(s): Stanisław Michalczyk / Language(s): Polish

The purpose of this textbook is to present the students of journalism and social communication with the foundations of the modern theory of mass communication. The work is intended also for students who pursue other fields of study, which offer specialisation in journalism and communication (communicological specialisation), e.g. the students of political science, Polish philology, sociology or economics. The book may also be of interest to journalists, people employed in the sector of Public Relations, advertising, and promotion, as well as departments of various public institutions. It will certainly be of interest to specialists in the field of media studies, mainly the theoreticians of mass communication.The relatively complex subject of the theory of mass communication is explored by the author in two dimensions – he examines it from three perspectives:• the scholarly and historical perspective;• the scholarly and the current perspective;• the scholarly and personal perspective.Another purpose of the textbook is to introduce scholarly and didactic order and to categorise the problems of the theory of mass communication so that it may constitute a didactic basis for people who hold classes or lectures in this subject at Polish universities or in other institutions of higher education.The textbook consists of 10 chapters:• Chapter 1: The transdisciplinary nature of the science of the media and communication is an introduction to the whole array of the problems of the theory of mass communication. It discusses the essence and the structure of the discipline, which examines and describes the processes of communication and the role of the media in the said processes.• Chapter 2: The historical development of communication and the media furnishes historical data about the development of the media and (mass) communication during the course of a few centuries, with special reference to the last few decades, when a gradual “densification” of the phenomena and processes which led to the emergence of a media society occurred. The media-related and technological advancements were an important factor in the social development in all periods of history, but their particular intensification occurred after the Second World War.• Chapter 3: Communication – mass communication – the media defines the basic concepts, explains the relevant terms (mass communication, the media and their functions), describes the models of mass communication and constitutes an attempt at representing in a general manner the essence of the processes of communication with an indication of the differences between mass (mediated) and interpersonal (non-mediated) communication.• Chapter 4: Base theories – discusses 10 theories which are crucial for the theory of mass communication. Their presentation is preceded by an explanation of the concept theory (in the context of mass communication) and an indication of the criteria of the classification of theories.• Chapter 5: The middle range theories discusses the theories – ones which are popular in thescience of the media and communication – which are constrained in terms of area and semantics and which are empirically verifiable at the same time. The creator of the paradigm was Robert K. Merton, who reduced the gap between the world of great (general) social theories and the world of microscopic (particular) observation of communication-related phenomena. Each of the theories is briefly discussed in a certain logical order: the history, the theoretical premises, the research methods, empirics. There is also an indication of the similarities to other cognate theories and the relations between them.• Chapter 6: The forms of public communication. The actors and the processes introduces order to the area of mass communication due to the forms which occur in it, forms such as journalism, Public Relations and advertising.• Chapter 7: The structures and the contexts of the media analyses the subdisciplines and the constituent disciplines of the science of the media and communication which are particularly important from the point of view of the theory and practice: the media-related policy, the sociology of the media, the economics of the media, the media-related pedagogy and the media law. The chapter focuses on the explanation of the essence of each of the subdisciplines and their structures.• Chapter 8: The content of the media explains the basic problems associated with the fourth question of Lasswell’s formula (“what is said”). The content (the substance) determines the potential conditions of the social and cultural impact of mass media in a shorter and in a longer period of time. This content holds the foundations of manipulation and demagogy.• Chapter 9: The use and the reception of the media is devoted to the social and the individual reception of the media. It analyses above all the nature and the features of the recipients of the modern media (recipients as a “mass”, recipients as a target group, recipients as a commodity, recipients as a victim, recipients as an active, thinking user).• Chapter 10: The results of the impact of the media, which in a sense constitutes a conclusion of the whole work, explains the processes of the impact of the media upon the individual and the society. Each chapter is followed by test questions, which enable verification of the extent of the knowledge which was acquired in a given field. The textbook provides basic knowledge. In order to gain in-depth and extensive knowledge, one must consult the supplementary works which are listed at the end of each chapter. A complete listing is provided in the bibliography, which also contains additional items.

DOPASOWANIE KOMPETENCYJNE CZŁOWIEKA DO PRACY

Author(s): Agata Jastrzębowska / Language(s): Polish

W psychologii wyróżnia się trzy możliwe przyczyny zadowolenia z pracy. Po pierwsze, środowisko. Jeżeli w pracy są jasno postawione cele, systematyczne wsparcie przełożonego i współpracowników, a także poczucie kontroli nad realizowanymi zadaniami – wówczas będziemy czuli się w niej lepiej. Po drugie, człowiek. Jeżeli pracownik posiada przykładowo wyższe kompetencje transferowalne, które dotyczą ogólnych relacji międzyludzkich i organizacji pracy własnej (potocznie nazwane kompetencjami „miękkimi”), to spostrzega swoją pracę bardziej pozytywnie niż pracownik o niskim poziomie tych kompetencji. Po trzecie, dopasowanie, czyli interakcja obu powyższych przyczyn. Twierdzi się, że „nie ma ludzi idealnych, lecz są ludzie idealni dla siebie”. Okazuje się, że analogicznie jest z pracą.Książkę Agaty Jastrzębowskiej wziąłem do ręki z zaciekawieniem. Wypełnia ona lukę publikacyjną w dorobku polskiej psychologii pracy i organizacji, jaka istnieje na styku dwóch obszarów tematycznych: dopasowania do rynku pracy i kompetencji. (…) W dobie wszechobecnej globalizacji, która raczej faworyzuje dopasowanie człowieka do pracy, wzmiankowana na początku książki idea dopasowania pracy do człowieka (ang. job crafting) w jej treści ustępuje, zgodnie z dominującym duchem globalizacji, idei dopasowania człowieka do stanowiska pracy.dr hab. Romuald Derbis, prof. Uniwersytetu OpolskiegoMonografia poświęcona jest dopasowaniu kompetencyjnemu. Moim zdaniem jest to temat ważny i aktualny, gdyż w każdej współczesnej organizacji działy zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi próbują praktycznie odpowiedzieć na wiele pytań dotyczących kompetencji pracowników bądź kandydatów na pracowników. Jednocześnie tysiące ludzi na różnych etapach kariery próbują oszacować i rozwijać swoje kompetencje zawodowe, aby znaleźć się w bardziej uprzywilejowanej sytuacji na rynku pracy.dr hab. Sylwiusz Retowski, prof. Uniwersytetu SWPS

OSWAJANIE NIEPEWNOŚCI. Studia społeczno-ekonomiczne nad młodymi pracownikami sprekaryzowanymi

Author(s): Adam Mrozowicki ,Jan Czarzasty / Language(s): Polish

Prezentowana książka wypełnia ważną lukę w polskiej literaturze poświęconej problematyce pracy i prekaryzacji zatrudnienia młodych. Jest to pierwsza polskojęzyczna monografia poświęcona w całości temu zagadnieniu […]. Na uznanie zasługuje bogactwo podjętych wątków badawczych, zarówno jeśli chodzi o metodologię (połączenie analiz jakościowych, ilościowych i badań porównawczych), jak i analizowane aspekty sytuacji życiowej badanych (proces wchodzenia w dorosłość, partycypacja polityczna, migracje, doświadczenie płciowości, autoidentyfikacja klasowa i inne) […]. Cenna poznawczo jest również podjęta przez Autorów konceptualizacja prekaryjności dokonana na użytek prezentowanych badań, zwłaszcza z uwagi na trudności związane z definiowaniem i operacjonalizacją tego zjawiska.z recenzji dr hab. Anny Kiersztyn Na polskim rynku naukowym książka Oswajanie niepewności z pewnością ma charakter unikatowy, należy bowiem do nielicznych, które w tak pogłębiony sposób podejmują problem radzenia sobie przez młodych prekariuszy w Polsce i w Niemczech ze złożoną sytuacją permanentnej niepewności nie tylko zresztą na rynku pracy […]. Bardzo bogate i różnorodne źródła empiryczne oraz zaawansowane sposoby opracowywania danych jakościowych i ilościowych, głównie w oparciu o realizowany projekt badawczy o charakterze międzynarodowym, dowodzą wysokiej skuteczności i zasadności łączenia studiów literaturowych ze studiami empirycznymi prowadzącymi do udanej realizacji celu pracy.z recenzji prof. dr hab. Danuty Walczak-Duraj

Publiczni nadawcy w regionach autonomicznych Hiszpanii. Między misją a polityką

Author(s): Dagmara Głuszek-Szafraniec / Language(s): Polish

The volume has been divided into two parts. The first, theoretical part concerns the issues connected with the worldwide models of media systems, as well as the role of the public media, the methods of defining their mission, and the aims and tools of media politics. Further inquiry concerns the media landscape of Spain, in addition to the main legal determinants which regulate the media in the country. Moreover, the author conducts a review of the most important legislation included in the autonomous constitutions that concerns the possibility of establishing means of mass communication by autonomous communities. The second part constitutes an attempt at systematizing the strategies undertaken by autonomous governments to encourage growth of local public broadcasters with a regional reach. The author distinguishes four different attitudes towards the role of the public media as well as towards defining the public mission and the level of engagement in the process of broadcaster management by the political powers in the region, delineated on the basis of legal and institutional analysis of media legislation. It is possible, therefore, to distinguish four vectors of regional government activities which correspond to the various types of public media present in the autonomous regions of Spain: a basic type with the function of regional media, a mixed type with the inclusion of the private sector, a transitional type aimed at reforming the model of public radio and television management, and an advanced type, in which the regulations and institutions involved allow for a larger media autonomy.

Author(s): / Language(s): English,Bulgarian

This volume “Quality Journalism and a New Communication Environment” collects the reports of the International Scientific Conference held on October 29 and 30, 2020 in Sofia under the same title and organized by the Faculty of Journalism and Mass Communication at Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”. The conference took place in a difficult time of pandemic and critical point of our media ecosystem and was conducted through the video conferencing platform Microsoft Teams. Namely in crisis situations such as the current pandemic situation, which put the participants of the conference behind the cameras and microphones of computers, and not in a common conference room, we can see a return of confidence in traditional media that do not fabricate news, check facts, without speculation on people's fears. Despite the unusual way of holding the conference managed to achieve its goals: to meet journalists with many years of experience, researchers, scientists and teachers from Bulgaria, Europe and the world and to highlight the main issues related to quality media and the challenges to journalism in the new communication environment.
