An important condition for good communication of people from different countries, regions and cultures is the knowledge of barriers that may distort the message, preventing its proper interpretation. ...The aim of this text is to answer the question to what extent the problem with the correct understanding of the message goes beyond the knowledge of the sender's language, including other aspects of communication. In order toanswer this question, the results of research in various fields were analyzed, mainly in the areas of migration, communication,linguistics, psychology and cultural anthropology. It made it possible to look at verbal, para-verbal and non-verbal messages in terms of cultural differences and different experiences, and then to identify the main communication barriers at each of the tested levels. The analysis confirmed that in the area of verbal communication, the knowledge of the cultural context, i.e. knowledge about a given culture and its symbols, is of key importance. It is no less important to avoid traps in the area of non-verbal communication –they concern the manner of speaking, differences in gestures, facial expressions and appearance, different perception of time and space, or knowledge of norms and customs regulating interpersonal interactions. These threads are discussed in detail in the following parts of the text.
The subject of this article are verbal (press articles) and non-verbal (press photography) techniques for controlling the topic of refugees, immigrants and migrants as well as the strategies for ...managing emotions in the press. The analysis draws on the concept of identification proposed by Kenneth Burke. Identification with a dialogue partner is a phenomenon that can be interpreted in terms of interpersonal balance, resulting from the unification of the sender's vision of the world proposed to the recipient. The analysis of the text and accompanying photos in this study indicates a number of narrative strategies that lead to the phenomenon of consubstance postulated by Burke. Its results are, among others, positive relations with the sender of the message, resulting from a positive assessment of the presented values and the image of the world, attempts to imitate opinions, attitudes and behaviors. The analysis proves that each party draws on a similar repertoire of linguistic strategies and rhetorical procedures when trying to identify the worlds of the sender and the recipient. The authors of the presented content focus the readers' attention, direct the way of perceiving the situation, and, by manipulating the image of reality, they evoke the designed emotions through word and image.
The article presents the results of the analysis of over 300 Polish memes regarding the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in the years 2020-2021. The aim of the study was to determine how memes - treated as ...vehicles of persuasion - impose on the audience the interpretation of facts. By distinguishing four types of protagonists: the Victim, the Persecutor, the Savior and the Fool, it was possible to determine which social groups are cast in each role. These roles, along with the corresponding typical scenarios, evoked narratives that could elicit specific opinions and emotions about the pandemic and related behaviors or decisions.
The article presents an analysis of an interview entitled “The Journalist Breaks the Silence! An Interview with Kamil Durczok” posted on the channel “Czyż tak!” on August 21, 2020. The interview was ...recorded at the Korez theater in Katowice, and its subject matter concerns the existential and image crisis that a well-known journalist and long-term editor-in-chief of the television newscast “Fakty” (TVN network) is struggling with. The analysis of the rhetoric of the participants' statements, the cultural symbols and meanings inherent in the presented space allowed to recognize the complicated game that Durczok and Czyż play with the situation of confession – with the compulsion to tell the truth, which in the society of the media spectacle is accompanied by the need to shape their own image.

A communication act divides a certain population into three classes: destination, excluded and indifferent people. The goal of the source is the message to be received by all addressees and by no ...excluded ones. Therefore, the efficiency of a communication act is proportionally to the reunion between the addressees who receive the message and the excluded who do not receive it. The source can increase the efficiency degree through the channel and the code used for sending messages. However, there is no way to certainly achieve the maximum efficiency of our communication acts.
O Grupo de Trabalho Economia Política da Informação, da Comunicação e da Cultura (EPICC) da CLACSO representa um campo de estudos interdisciplinar que se desenvolveu no interior da área de ...Comunicação de forma independente em diferentes lugares do mundo. Na América Latina, três países se destacam, México, Brasil e Argentina, mas outras contribuições importantes são reconhecidas desde os anos setenta e mesmo antes, quando, no interior das chamadas teorias da dependência cultural, a crítica da economia política já se insinuava como fundamento importante para se pensar a organização dos meios de comunicação. O grupo está empenhado em trazer ao seleto público que acompanha as publicações da CLACSO, produções que de alguma forma marcaram o desenvolvimento da EPC latino-americana. O livro que aqui apresentamos é um dos frutos desse esforço de recuperação histórica. Texto de la editorial.
The semiotic decodification of advertising signs through a collective unconscious in the digital era is a reflection of previous individual consumption of popular culture. As a result, advertising is ...an impure image that contains preexisting replicated visual symbols. This visual intertextuality will be at the core of our archetypal approach in advertising. Based on Discourse Analysis research methodology, we have opted for a corpus of digital ads that not only showcase recent creativity in the field, but also witness the development of what we shall encapsulate under the syntagma of ‘the second generation of archetypes’. Our main aim is to demonstrate that the collective unconscious as described by Jung has changed since the apparition of infinitely replicated objects of representation through media. The Discourse Analysis will provide an interpretation residing in three intertextual thematic archetypes touching literature, politics and art.
How Pee-wee and his playhouse help us reimagine our
relationships to technology I Know You Are, but What
Am I? explores the cultural legacy of Pee-wee Herman, the cult
television star of Pee-wee's ...Playhouse . This children's
show-that was also for adults-ran on network TV from 1986 to 1990
and starred comedian Paul Reubens as Herman, a queer man-boy whose
playhouse, the set for the show, was tricked out with a profusion
of animate computational toys and technologies.
Cait McKinney shows how three defining scenes from the show
inform, and even foretell and challenge, our present moment: the
playhouse as an alternative precursor to networked smart homes that
foregrounds caring and ethical relationships between humans and
technologies; a reparative retelling of Reubens's career-wrecking
1991 arrest for indecent exposure inside a Florida adult film
theater as part of an AIDS-phobic, antigay sting operation; and
worn-out, Talking Pee-wee dolls and their broken afterlives on eBay
and YouTube.
McKinney looks at how queer people who were children in the
1980s remember and relate to Pee-wee now, showing that the moral
panic about sexuality, gender, and children from the past can help
us refute anti-trans and anti-queer political movements organized
today.
