Abstract Fashion media is an essential part of the fashion industry in communicating cultural fashion, current trends and innovations. However, there are many differences due to cultural values, history and media access. A content analysis of Vogue magazine, Russia, India, Brazil and Arabia is designed to identify differences in content between regional Vogue Instagram accounts. Images were screenshot from each account and then organized into themes resulting in four main categories for all accounts: one, how the Vogue woman was dressed, two, the personality/lifestyle of the Vogue woman, three, the structure of the photo and finally commonalities between the accounts. The researcher found many differences and a few overlaps in values in these five Vogue accounts. Different regional areas maintain distinctions even though fashion is globally communicated.

Increasingly, advertising examples are being analyzed and used as yet another form of communication, on account of their ubiquity (e.g. billboards, Internet, television, magazines). Designed to compel us to purchase products, advertisements have the potential to greatly impact our lives. They show current trends in social preferences, they reveal cultural values and norms of the target audience and, finally, they can be the mirror of the times people live in. The purpose of this paper is to give a brief overview of the findings in previously carried–out research relating to cross–cultural content analysis of advertisements. The reports have addressed both linguistic and extra–linguistic features and trends in advertising and emphasized language– and culture–specific elements. This paper also gives ideas for future studies, since nowadays, due to international marketing and increasing globalization there are more cultural transfers to be explored, as cultures are coming in contact far more frequently.

The Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela has built mass organizations of workers and communities that have erratically challenged class and market relations—verifying that taking political power is difficult but essential to fundamental social change and that capitalist cultural practices complicate the revolutionary process. This work identifies components of state power, separating state apparatus (government) as a crucial site for instituting social change. The case of democratic, participatory communication and public media access is presented as central to the successes and problems of Venezuelan 21st century socialism. Drawing on field research in community media in Caracas, the essay highlights some of the politico-cultural challenges and class contradictions in producing and distributing cultural values and social practices for a new socialist hegemony necessary for fundamental social change.

In this chapter, the authors show how, using graph theory, one can make a content analysis of political discourse. The premises of this analysis are: we have a corpus of speech of each party or candidate, as empirical data; speeches convey economic, political, and socio-cultural values, these taking the form of words or word families; there are interdependences between the values of a political discourse; they are given by the co-occurrence of two values, as words in the text, within a well-defined fragment or they are determined by the internal logic of political discourse; established links between values in a political speech have associated positive numbers indicating the “power” of those links; these “powers” are defined according to both the number of co-occurrences of values and the internal logic of the discourse where they occur. In this context, the authors highlight the following: a) the dominant values in a political speech; b) groups of values that have ties between them and have no connection with the rest; c) the order in which political values should be set in order to obtain an equivalent but more concise speech compared to the already given one; d) the links between the values that form the “core” political speech; and e) one can get from one value to another by using as few words as possible from the discourse to be analyzed.

The paper provides a brief review of current trends in studying ultra-right radicalization risks both in Russia and globally. Since the scientific interpretations in studying the notion of radicalization are differentiated, the authors prefer the following one: the ultra-rightists represent communities and movements that accept the idea that violence is necessary to achieve any goal (political, ideological, economic, social or personal). The ultra-rightists justify and promote this idea, expressing their willingness to act violently. They also make a moral commitment to defend those who promote the idea. The authors present the results of the work of the TPU’s cross-subject project team to create a prototype and a method for automated detection of ultra-rightists’ threats in social media. The paper describes the main challenges the researches face when applying smart social media content analysis as a tool for automating social science research.
