Abstract Japanese media franchising is normally discussed in relation to long-running chains of serial transmedia production known in Japan as 'media mix'. I argue that this focus on the biggest of Japanese franchises is over-determining how we conceptualize the flows of adaptation in Japanese media culture. Therefore, in this article, I focus on a short-lived franchise based around Yumi Unita's manga Usagi Drop (literally, Bunny Drop, 2009‐11) in order to think about the media mix as a set of relational adaptation processes. In the space of just a few months in 2011, this manga about a young man adopting his grandfather's illegitimate daughter became the seemingly unlikely source of a transmedia franchise that included television animation and live action film. Focusing on such a short-lived cycle of production allows me to reconsider how Japanese franchise media texts relate to one another, and to decentre anime as the defacto core medium in Japanese franchising. Expanding the view of Japanese media mix adaptations, I consider how both internal and external factors can influence media franchising and adaptation practices in contemporary Japan. Retracing the production discourses around the creation of the Usagi Drop franchise therefore allows me to reconsider the concept of media mix as adaptation practice and process in Japan.

Subject to the communication paradigm, the article focuses on the curriculum as an object of culture, semiotics and communication. The pervasive media culture is increasingly penetrating various areas which, at first sight, have nothing to do with the media. Application of mediology for the specific objects “lifts” them to the level of culture and society. Subject to its importance in the society and the role in the historical and political transformations, curriculum can be attributed to the phenomenon of culture. This was the concept of the curriculum during the restoration of independence of Lithuania (in 1990). Later, the role of curriculum became less important and simply turned into a standard document that had to be executed uncritically. However, the relation between the teacher and the curriculum is rather complicated. The text of curriculum can be interpreted as a semiotic system of symbols. The content of curriculum, provided concepts, definitions and statements can be interpreted in various educational contexts and discourses. Curriculum – same as the entire system of education – is a selforganisational semiotic-synergetic system influenced by internal and external factors. In terms of communication, curriculum is a mediator – a medium – between all participants of the education process. In the education process, cognitive, spiritual and activity objects acquire certain meanings and scopes through the communication relation to the curriculum content (symbols).

This essay analyzes the political motivations behind the Jewish Nation-State Bill introduced in the Knesset in November 2014, shedding light on the ascendancy of the Israeli political establishment's radical right wing. It argues that there were both internal and external factors at work and that it is only by examining these thoroughly that the magnitude of the racist agenda currently being promoted can be grasped. The essay also discusses the proposed legislation's long history and the implications of this effort to constitutionalize what amounts to majoritarian despotism in present-day Israel.
