This article combines thoughts about childhood, visual culture and education. It is known that we live among multiple images that shape the way we see our reality, and researchers in the visual culture field investigate how this role is played out in our culture. The goal is to make some applications those ideas, to think about the relationship between the images and education. This article tries to grasp what visual culture is and in what ways presumptions about childhood generate and are generated by this association. It also discusses the genesis of these presumptions and the images they generate through a philosophical approach, questioning the role of education in a culture tied to the media, and about how children, who are familiar with multiple screens, presage a new visual literacy. We see how images play a fundamental role in the way children give meaning to the world around them and to themselves, in the context of their local culture. Given this context, it is necessary to consider how visual culture is tied to the elementary school, and what challenges confront the generation of wider and more creative ways to approach visual framing in children’s education.

The Olympic Games are among the most followed events in the world, so athletes who participate there are exceptionally interesting for the media. This research investigated Olympians’ social media use, sport journalists’ attitudes about Olympians’ social media use, and the role of social media in the relationship between Olympians and sport journalists in Hungary. The findings suggest that most Hungarian Olympians do not think that being on social media is an exceptionally key issue in their life, and a significant portion of them do not have public social media pages. However, sport journalists would like to see more information about athletes on social media platforms. The Hungarian case offers not only a general understanding of the athlete–journalist relationship, and the role of social media in it, but also insight into the specific features of the phenomenon in a state-supported, hybrid sport economy.

The 2013 convergence document, The Church: Towards a Common Vision (ctcv) incorporates several aspects of the response of the Napa Inter-Orthodox Consultation to The Nature and Mission of the Church (nmc) which, as its subtitle suggests, was A Stage on the Way to a Common Statement, namely The Church. Eastern and Oriental Orthodox responders (jointly!) point to the imprecise use of the term, ‘church’, the World Council of Churches (wcc)’s understanding of ‘the limits of the Church’, and to the ‘branch theory’ implicit in nmc, an ecclesiology toned down in ctcv. Bordeianu proposes a subjective recognition of the fullness of the church in one’s community as a possible way forward. Simultaneously, Orthodox representatives have grown into a common, ecumenical understanding of the relationship between the Kingdom of God and the church’s work for justice; attentiveness to the role of women in the church; and accepting new forms of teaching authority in an ecumenical context. The positions of various churches are no longer parallel monologues, but reflect earnest change and convergence.

The aim of this study is to present the story behind the media image recounting the final months in the life of the former primate of the Czech Republic, cardinal Miloslav Vlk. The analyses presented in this study are grounded in a corpus of texts consisting of 63 press articles published by Czech national dailies between 23 January and 26 March 2017. The image recreated on their basis has become extraordinary not only due to the fact of its very existence within the perception of the world promoted by Czech media, but also because of the way it was constructed and presented to the audience. One must not underestimate the role of the main protagonist of the analyzed image, who became one of its authors himself.

É fundamental discutir o papel da mídia como um dos principais fóruns de discussão em sociedades democráticas. Neste trabalho analisamos a relação entre cidadania e rádio. A nossa intenção foi compreender como a rádio contribui para o entendimento de mundo indispensável à formação de opiniões sobre questões relevantes ao exercício da cidadania. Para isso estudámos as grades de programação de rádios em Lisboa e em Brasília, nos anos 2011 e 2012, e realizamos entrevistas com os respectivos diretores. Também realizamos grupos focais, no contexto de diversas organizações sociais, para compreender a relação dos cidadãos com a rádio. Observamos que a rádio continua a ter um grande potencial cívico, mas neste momento, de um modo geral, a sua programação pouco contribui para a promoção de uma cidadania efetiva.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Rádio; Cidadania; Democracia; Espaço Público; Jornalismo.   ABSTRACT It is essential to discuss the role of the media as one of the main debate forums in democratic societies. This research analyzes the relationship between citizenship and radio. Our intention was to comprehend how the radio contributes to the understanding of the world, which is crucial to the formation of opinions concerning pertinent issues to the citizen’s duty. For this, we studied the programming guides of some of Lisbon`s and Brasilia’s radios, in 2011 and 2012, and also interviewed their directors. In addition to that, focus groups were conducted in the context of different social organizations, in order to understand the relationship between citizens and the radio. In general, we have noticed that the radio still has a great civic potential, but currently, its programming does not contribute much to the stimulation of an effective citizenship.   KEYWORDS: Radio; Citizenship; Democracy; Public Sphere; Journalism.     RESUMEN Es importante analizar el papel de los medios de comunicación como uno de los principales foros de discusión en las sociedades democráticas.

Through this contribution I aim to show how the role of language and metaphors is fundamental to our understanding of reality, affecting the way we ordinarily act and live, and particularly important in facing fears and anguish. This is more evident in these times of the COVID-19 pandemic, where our experiences of language and of the world seem to be characterised mainly by war terminology. Politicians declare themselves at war fighting an invisible enemy and health care workers, who are in direct contact with COVID-19 positive patients, are said to be “fighting” on the “frontlines”. Starting from a philosophical account of the relationship between language, fear and anguish, I aim to show how this narrative is unhelpful, both for society at large and especially for patients and health care workers. While war narratives instil fear, it seems to me that new forms of solidarity and new models of coexistence are required. Since language shapes the way in which we think, live and act, it is important to choose words that encourage people to act responsibly, to cooperate and to overcome the hardships of the COVID19 pandemic together.

My-body-for-others or my-body-for-itself? Reflections on my encounter with the art of striptease and the way it has transformed the relationship I have with my body

My body-for-others or my body-for-itself? This is the question explored in this article. It is centred on my experience as a performer, student, and observer of the art of striptease and how my engagement with this art has facilitated for me a process of transition from the body-for-others—a bodily state characterised by a profound sense of scrutiny, loss, invisibility, and isolation—to the-body-for-itself, which, by contrast, is enriched by self-discovery and self-celebration and moves freely and sensually towards the world and others. The article discusses the process through which, in the context of our tenaciously restrictive visual culture, striptease can lead to a deeper intimacy between the performer and his or her body and to a greater capacity for bodily expression and fulfilment. It considers the role that loss and lust play in this process, as well as the healing and transformative power of eros. This article employs a combination of memoir and scholarly analysis. Diary entries, memories, and reflections are used to evoke the essence of this experience and to offer the reader a phenomenological grasp of striptease. Existential ideas, particularly those of Sartre and Merleau-Ponty, provide a framework to articulate and conceptualise its potentially transforming power while also capturing the complexities and ambiguities of my engagement with this art.

This study examines the relationship to space and geographical knowledge present in Nicolas Bouvier’s The Way of the World. Without ever claiming expert authority, Bouvier takes on the role of geographer in his travel narrative. Setting scientific methods to one side, he creates a “spontaneous geography”, consisting in describing the world as it comes to mind, thus bringing with it affective, subjective and variable dimensions. The Way of the World therefore establishes a precarious geography that disconcerts both traveller and reader.

Insight Into

This essay examines a polemic between two Baudelaire critics of the 1930s, Jean Cassou and Benjamin Fondane, which centered on the relationship of poetry to progressive politics and metaphysics. I argue that a return to Baudelaire's poetry can yield insight into what seems like an impasse in Cassou and Fondane. Baudelaire provides the possibility of realigning metaphysics and politics so that poetry has the potential to become the space in which we can begin to think the two of them together, as opposed to seeing them in unresolvable tension. Or rather, the tension that Baudelaire animates between the two allows us a new way of thinking about the role of esthetics in moments of political crisis. We can in some ways see Baudelaire as responding, avant la lettre, to two of his early twentieth-century readers who correctly perceived his work as the space that breathes a new urgency into the questions of how modern poetry relates to the world from which it springs and in which it intervenes.

The Sri Lankan Ministry of National Coexistence, Dialogue, and Official Languages published the work “People of Sri Lanka” in 2017. In this comprehensive publication, 21 invited Sri Lankan scholars introduced 19 different people’s groups to public readers in English, mainly targeted at a growing number of foreign visitors in need of understanding the cultural diversity Sri Lanka has to offer. This paper will observe the presentation of these different groups of people, the role music and allied arts play in this context. Considering the non-scholarly design of the publication, a discussion of the role of music and allied arts has to be supplemented through additional analyses based on sources mentioned by the 21 participating scholars and their fragmented application of available knowledge. In result, this paper might help improve the way facts about groups of people, the way of grouping people, and the way of presenting these groupings are displayed to the world beyond South Asia. This fieldwork and literature guided investigation should also lead to suggestions for ethical principles in teaching and presenting of culturally different music practices within Sri Lanka, thus adding an example for other case studies.
