Abstract:

In the context of recent political realities, the issue of “political culture” is becoming a major issue, both in practical terms, ie the way “how it translates into life” and conceptually. The notion as such was introduced into the scientific circuit by the contemporary American political scientist Herman Finer (1956) and developed by Gabriel A. Almond and Sidney Verba (1963). The mission of training the political culture has been undertaken by several institutions and organizations in the public segment, the media sector having the role of monitoring and knowledge of the processes that occur in various areas of socio-political and economic life, training the new democratic values of liquidation of the handicap that the “new democracies” have in correlation with the developed countries. In this study, the author aims to identify the extent to which the press, especially in the Republic of Moldova, fulfills its role as a trainer of political culture.

Abstract:

Abstract. Currently, political violence is a central issue in the world-wide social agenda. This paper describes the psychosocial logic that legitimizes that violence, analyzed as a challenge for social and political psychology, implying that we have to work toward the construction of a culture of peace. Additionally, diverse concepts about peace are discussed. Finally, the transcendental role played by mass media in this dynamic and particularly the framing theory, are analyzed. Moreover, this paper considers how mass media and news are determinant factors in the beliefs, relational frames, and construction of feelings and are, thus, a barrier to coping and peacefully solving the conflicts that end in political violence.

Abstract:

The folk shamans (minkan fusha 民間巫者) called itako イタコ, mainly active in Aomori and surrounding prefectures (Akita and Iwate), are well known nationwide thanks to mass media coverage. However, despite their increased visibility, there seems to be a gap between the itako as folk culture and the image of the “itako” as a component of the mass culture produced by the media. This article attempts to clarify the actual conditions of the itako from the 1970s to 1980s, especially focusing on the influence of the occult boom, by analyzing the discourse in print media. Beginning in the 1970s, the occult boom in Japan rediscovered the religiosity of the itako as the occult the masses wanted. As a result, the itako changed from being culturally other to part of “our” mysterious knowledge. Although this involved an attribution of value to the itako, it also meant that the religiosity of the itako was turned into an object of consumption for mass culture. This popularization of itako religiosity played a significant role in establishing the itako as a part of mass culture.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the communication process of modern mass media. Journalism, holding true to its methods of undestanding reality, turns to the postmodern manner of writing. Dialogueness of mass communication is built on different levels. Speech reflects contradictory processes, which occur in our life and are accompanied by changing moral values and spiritual guidelines. Language occurrences in different kinds of mass communication break up the foundations of Russian culture. A new information environment should be created in agreement with the historical traditions and linguistic culture of the society.

Abstract:

In light of the importance of culture for the autonomy, sense of identity, and self-respect of individuals, cultural minorities have a right that their cultures flourish. Since cultural minorities are frequently in a disadvantaged position in the cultural market-place, a commitment to equality implies that the state ought to take steps to assist these minorities in preserving their cultures. This Article examines the ways the mass media can assist cultural minorities in preserving their cultures. For instance, when the media present contents that relate to the cultures of minorities, individual members of the minority group are exposed to their culture; media designated for cultural groups facilitate dialogue between group members, thus enabling the cultural group to determine which parts of its culture to retain and which parts to change. With that said, contemporary media frequently provide insufficient cultural contents due to the influence of commercial operational logic. This Article examines why the motivation for profit leads to under-production of cultural materials for minorities and to insufficient inclusion of cultural minorities in the public discourse. It is argued that the inequality caused by the mediawhich provide minorities with too little of the cultural contents so pertinent to the realization of their right to culturemerits corrective intervention. The Article examines possible forms of State intervention with the media on behalf of cultural minorities, taking into consideration that such intervention is a sensitive issue, since it has ramifications concerning the scope of the freedom of the press. Accordingly, it is argued that the State ought to be permitted to create legislation which intervenes, mainly by means of subsidies and structural regulation, to improve the manner in which the media fulfill their roles in a multicultural democracy. In contrast, there should be sparse use of conditionality in the issue of licenses for media operators.

Abstract:

Culture is one of the basic dimensions of social existence and human life, and influences functioning and development of any civilization. The mass media as social institute tend to focus their attention on the most significant aspects of a society's life. Items of culture often become topics of media texts. Therefore, the issue of the composition of these media texts is of currently relevance. The present-day media space is oversaturated with information and mass culture, which may result in the audience's low perceptivity of information and poorer aesthetic sense. In this relation, there is a necessity of studying features of culture coverage in the mass media in order to get an insight into the content of the culture topics. Since Russian regional mass media are an important link in the information distribution chain that provides public awareness of the culture, they require special attention. The target of the study is the range of culture topics covered in Crimean mass media. The article presents the results of a content-analytical study of media texts created by eleven Crimean mass in the period of 2015-2017. The culture topics of the texts included ethnic culture, religion, language, cultural heritage and art. Geographical location of culture topics was also taken into account. Basing on the results of the empirical study, the author infers that Crimean mass media provide non-uniform coverage of culture aspects: the media texts primarily focus on Russian and Crimean Tatar cultures, as well as on the culture of large Crimean cities, leaving behind cultural life in rural areas.

Abstract:

AbstractThe role of communications in facilitating public participation in constitution-making is often neglected and misunderstood, particularly in post-war state-building when mass media may be weak. In the early 1990s, Ethiopia's ruling party, the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF), drafted one of Africa's most ambitious constitutions, allowing for ethnic federalism, decentralization and democratic reforms. The constitution has been highly controversial and many of its aspirations remain unrealized. This article explores how the EPRDF sought to use the media to explain and encourage acceptance of the constitution. It offers a framework for analysis that is relevant for countries beyond Ethiopia by examining: the role of media policies in providing domestic and international legitimacy for constitutions; the ways in which media can provide a space for non-violent political conflict or negotiation, where elites can navigate political struggles and debate ideology; and the use of media to implement the constitution's most ambitious goals.

Abstract:

Background: More than one billion of world population was adolescent age group. Adolescents are high risk of unwanted pregnancy related to pregnancy is preventable. This complication can be prevented by use of family planning method. One of the challenges to use family planning was lack of information about contraceptive. This study was investigated mass media impact on use of modern contraceptive among adolescent in Ethiopia, 2016 E. C.Methods: This study conducted based on EDHS (Ethiopia demographic health survey) 2016 data which was cross-sectional study design. Sample size for this study was 588 adolescent married women that completed interview in EDHS 2016. Mass media impact on modern contraceptive use were analyzed using propensity score matching. Recursive biprobit probit model was used to determine factor associated with mass media exposure on modern contraceptive utilization.Results: In Ethiopia about 31.8% of adolescent married women currently used modern contraceptive. Expose to family planning message had 16.8%, 13.2%, 17% and 21.9% point higher modern contraceptive use than unexposed to mass media message. In this study significant factor affected modern contraceptive use included residence, wealth index, radio message, exposed to TV message, magazine message and exposure to mass media message family planning.Conclusions: This study shows magnitude of contraceptive utilization was low and it might be due to lack of information about family planning. Therefore, policy maker and concerned body should consider dissemination family of planning information by mass media.

Abstract:

Popular culture is a subcategory of culture. Today, mass and new media appear to be interfering with the evolved mechanisms that permit the acquisition and editing of culture. We know surprisingly little about these cognitive attentional processes that enable the information acquisition and editing packed into the term “cultural transmission.” It was Michael Chance who first concluded that we attend to and learn preferentially from those high in status. For Chance, high status based on fear leads to agonistic attention and a constricted type of learning, while hedonic attention based on respect permits much broader learning possibilities. If Chance's theories are supported, then it would follow that much of the current unpredictability of popular culture and culture change in general reflects the replacement of family and community high-status figures by influential media celebrities, thereby damaging the transmission of local culture. Chance's approach would also explain why we seem to find it difficult to pay attention to those low in status and power. There may be attractors of attention involved in cultural transmission in addition to status, including physical attractiveness. We consider, from an evolutionary perspective, various researchable hypotheses that stem from Chance's and related work and from ethnography, we discuss this work's implications for how we understand culture and “popular culture,” and we argue that the kind of research in cognitive and evolutionary psychology we espouse is also needed for the next generation of mathematical models of gene–culture coevolution. We conclude with a list of research questions.

Abstract:

This study aims to discuss the Journalistic Mass Media Management. This study use quantitative method. The result shows that Mass media consists of printed mass media and electronic mass media. Print mass media in the form of newspapers, magazines, books, tabloids, and so on. Meanwhile, electronic mass media can be in the form of television, internet and radio. The mass media also has several functions, including an information function, an agenda function, a liaison function for people, an education function, a persuasion function, and an entertaining function. The messages conveyed by the mass media are new, interesting, and important. The effects of the mass media are also very large for society. Self-change in society occurs because of the mass media. The effect of the mass media is also related to the message itself. Today, we know the development of the mass media is very fast. However, it would be nice if the mass media developed to carry messages in accordance with the culture of the Indonesian people. The mass media should provide useful messages for the wider community.

Abstract:

Culture is an inseparable component of mass media coverage. Unfortunately, mass media portrays culture in various forms, from culture as a part of community values to culture as a commodification of business media. This study was conducted to explore the process of commodification of culture in both local and national media that can be observed in two cultural centers of the nation, Bali and Solo. This study used qualitative research method. Data was collected from interviews and a study of documents of news about culture in local media (the Bali Post and the Solo Post). The data from both regions were subsequently compared. The results of this study conclude that cultural commodification is constructed in local, regional, and national media.

Abstract:

Purpose. The article is dedicated to the study of mass speech culture as demonstration of a broad trend to social communications mediatization. Mass speech culture is considered to be the standards of verbal communication used by a number of people regardless of their status and social role in public communication and in everyday life. The author defines mass culture of Russian speech as elements of discursive practices accepted as a social standard by the majority of Russian speakers. One the one hand, mass speech culture mediatization manifests itself by the fact that patterns of verbal behavior and linguistic innovations are actively communicated and replicated in the mass media and social networks. On the other hand, modern media themselves extensively collaborate with socio-cultural practices and form the background for communication and language norms change. Results. The research is aimed at three types of mass speech culture manifestation that have cause-and-effect relationship with mediatization procedures. They are mass interpretation of the speech standard, subject-matter presuppositions / restrictions and a fast-paced spread of speech innovations. Essential features of mass speech culture are concluded with reference to the survey conducted among philologists and the representative selection of “Medialogy” database. Mass speech culture is characterized by vague conception of the speech standard, extension of topics admitted in public communication, virus spread of innovations and reduced introspection towards them. It can be viewed as modern media practices influence as well as their forming factors. Conclusion. Mediatization concept implementation for reasoning the interconnections between mass media development and mass speech culture changes within the interdisciplinary framework can be regarded as the research prospect by the author.

Abstract:

The tendency in discussions of media consumption in the past decade has been to move away from political economy or the “production of consumption” perspective; it has been accompanied by a growing interest in the active audience, symbolic culture, and textual analysis. Though sport and the mass media are a popular research topic in English-language publications, the major focus has been on a narrow range of advanced capitalist economies. This article on the relationship between the mass media and sport in Japan takes issue with both these emphases and contributes to on-going debates about sport, the media, and the commodification of popular culture. First, it provides a sketch of episodes in the development of the mass media in Japan—especially the newspaper press, radio, and television—in conjunction with that of sport. The focal point is the involvement of business corporations in the development of relations between professional sport and the mass media and the underlying commercial logic that steers that development. Second, by focusing on Japanese examples, the article provides additional empirical data so that similarities and contrasts can be drawn among existing accounts of the development of mediasport in advanced capitalist countries. In particular, it is argued that much of the writing about sport and the mass media has been derived from examination of “Anglo-American” experiences. Attention to media and sport in Japan, both as an economic commodity and as a vehicle for the creation of meaningful discourse about national identity, raises questions about debates concerning sport, media, and globalization.

Abstract:

The review article critically analyzes the monograph on medialinguistics. It emphasizes the relevance of the elaborated topic, representativeness of the illustrative research base, and importance of the obtained results for understanding the nature of language changes’ determinism. Content dominants of the scientific work are outlined in accordance with its structure. The reviewer notes that with the beginning of this century the phenomenon of functional-style dynamics has clearly affected the development of the Ukrainian language. The lexical-semantic subsystem naturally turned out to be the most open to changes. Mass media communication became its organic medium as its imminent purpose is instant response to the demands of society, in particular, its linguistic and cultural needs. The author of the peer-reviewed book comprehends the factors, trends and facts that influenced the lexicon of modern Ukrainian periodicals and eventually formed it. The word consistently reflects intra-lingual processes, for example, inter-style interaction, and extra-lingual situation – political and legal, socio-economic, cultural and educational – which defines them. In the language of Ukrainian media, bookish elements are clearly updated – as a means of primary/secondary nomination, in particular, terms of various knowledge areas as well as acronyms. Media style actively assimilates the attributes of a colloquial style, and this affects the expression level of newspaper discourse. The dialogue effect is often achieved through the use of substandard units, such as slang. Confessional vocabulary, which mostly implements primary semantics, has a special place in periodicals’ thesaurus. The widespread use of various style means in the researched texts demonstrates the diffuseness of contemporary Ukrainian mass media lexicon.

Part two explores the decline of interest further through examining data such as the number of students interested in scientific subjects and scientific careers. I explore the hypothesis that the lack of interest in scientific subjects is influenced by the culture of the mass media, and the manner in which the media covers scientific items. I examine a range of media outlets, from reality TV shows and TV series, to movies and the press. Many aspects of this paper have been discussed in depth in my book published in 2008: La razón estrangulada (Reason Strangled: the Crisis of Science in Contemporary Society).

Abstract:

In Egypt, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, older, fragmented, and more localized forms of identity were replaced with new, alternative concepts of community, which for the first time had the capacity to collectively encompass the majority of Egyptians. The activism of Mustafa Kamil (1874–1908) and the populist message of the Watani Party began the process of defining and popularizing urban Egyptian nationalism. After Kamil's premature death in 1908, there was more of an “urgent need,” as described by Zachary Lockman, for “tapping into and mobilizing new domestic constituencies in order to build a more broadly based independence movement.” This article argues that the eventual mobilization of the Egyptian urban masses, and their “incorporation into the Egyptian nation,” was due in large part to the materialization of a variety of mass media catering to a growing national audience. To be more specific, I will examine early Egyptian nationalism through the lens of previously neglected audiovisual colloquial Egyptian sources. This, I argue, is crucial to any attempt at capturing the voice of “ordinary” Egyptians. Finally, the article documents the role of early colloquial Egyptian mass culture as a vehicle and forum through which, among other things, “hidden transcripts” of resistance and critiques of colonial and elite authority took place.

Abstract:

In Egypt, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, older, fragmented, and more localized forms of identity were rapidly replaced with new alternative concepts of community, which for the first time had the capacity to collectively encompass the majority of Egyptians. This article is about the growth of Egyptian national identity from 1908 until 1918. It highlights the importance of previously neglected colloquial Egyptian sources—especially recorded music and vaudeville—in examining modern Egyptian history. Through the lens of colloquial mass culture, the study traces the development of collective Egyptian identity during the first quarter of the 20th century. This article also engages with some of the theories of nationalism and tests their applicability to Egypt. Finally, it introduces the concept of “media-capitalism” in an effort to expand the historical analysis of nationalism beyond print.

Abstract:

For a number of decades, both Russian and international researchers have demonstrated their unremitting interest in a such specific Russian phenomenon as dacha. Yet, the linguocultural aspects of its constituent gastronomic culture in Russia have not been studied. The study comprised several stages, at which the methods of hermeneutics, content analysis, narrative interviewing with subsequent linguistic analysis were employed. The significance of Russian dacha in shaping eating practices is reflected in communal and individual consciousness which is implicated in the broad coverage of this topic by the mass media. The linguocultural framework of the dacha gastronomic culture of Russia has been demonstrated by the thematic content of mass media texts and by cumulative and individual concepts evolved by the participants of dacha movement. We have found that such linguocultural concepts as special importance of a dacha diet and dacha foods, their uniqueness, health utility, simplicity and naturalness, hedonic value, festivity, and communal nature are most explicitly represented in the texts. Furthermore, recreational and ingenious potential of dacha activities embedded in a remarkable emotional atmosphere is semantically embodied. We have shown that the analyzed texts are impregnated with emotional and evaluative connotations verbalized by means of specific lexical and syntactical stylistic devices.
