Soviet Experience

The article is devoted to the problem of the current state of cultural memory about the Soviet experience, Soviet existence in the media space in the context and format of memetics. The authors solve three problems: the definition of key concepts that characterize the problem, including the definition of the concept «soviet meme»; identification and overview content analysis of Runet resources updating cultural memory of the USSR in meme format; systematizing the results of a micro-sociocultural survey aimed at identifying the state of cultural memory of soviet. The soviet meme is positioned as a peculiar cultural gene of soviet being and consciousness and is defined as a unit of soviet cultural information, entrenched in cultural memory and reproduced in the infosphere, media environment, culture, mass consciousness, sociocultural practices in accordance with context and modality in the original or transformed state. A significant sphere of the existence of soviet memes is the cultural memory and actual discourse of the soviet. Key components of the media oecumenes of soviet memes in Runet were revealed. The results of a micro-sociocultural survey were systematized, which made it possible to form an idea on the state of Runet users’ cultural memory.

Definition Of

Constitutional reforms in Ecuador and Bolivia and the subsequent laws on communications have opened up the media space to new social and political actors: public and community media. While the former tend to be associated with the state in form and with governments in substance, the latter are not clearly defined and occupy a place in the midst of the hegemonic struggle between the public and private sectors to enable citizens to actively intervene in the competition for shaping public opinion. It is therefore necessary to lay the groundwork for a definition of “community media” that includes both its legal and sociopolitical dimensions. Indeed, operationalizing such a definition might allow community media to recognize themselves in it and to take the measures required to fully project themselves as subjects of the law. Las reformas constitucionales de Ecuador y Bolivia, y las siguientes leyes de comunicación, han abierto el espacio mediático a nuevos actores sociales y políticos: los medios públicos y los comunitarios. Si los primeros tienden a ser referibles al Estado en la forma y a los gobiernos en la sustancia, los segundos se quedan indefinidos e irrumpen en la lucha hegemónica entre los sectores público y privado, para que la ciudadanía intervenga de forma activa en la disputa por la generación de opinión pública. Por lo tanto, es necesario sentar las bases para una definición del concepto de “medio comunitario” que sepa mantener unidas las dimensiones de significado legales y socio-políticas. Traducir en términos operativos esta definición podría permitir a los medios comunitarios reconocerse en los rasgos observables del concepto y, por ende, tomar medidas para proyectarse plenamente como sujetos de derecho.

Ethnocultural Group

Modern ethnocultural processes taking place among the indigenous peoples of the northern and Arctic territories, the current state and issues of broadcasting and preserving their ethnic identity are one of the topical research topics of the world scientific community. The attention to the Ket ethnocultural group is justified by its uniqueness as the last representatives of the Yenisei group of peoples. Research immersion into the foundations of the formation of the modern ethnocultural image of the Kets, including in the information and media space, reveals the need to refer to the cultural memory of the Kets, the basic foundations of their ethnocultural identification. Thus, the study of the representation of Kets in the media space makes it possible to fix the modern information image and visualization features of the Ket ethnocultural group.

This chapter summarizes the main parameters of coalitional presidentialism and the key concepts, definitions, explanatory frameworks, indicators, and propositions. It summarizes our understanding of coalitional presidentialism; the distinction between coalition formation and maintenance; the definition of coalitions; the multidimensional understanding of coalition management (the ‘presidential toolbox’); and an analytical framework that emphasizes the motivation of presidents to achieve cost minimization under constraints determined by system-level, coalition-level, and conjunctural factors. It also summarizes our main empirical findings: (1) the characteristics of presidential tools, (2) the substantive patterns of their deployment, (3) the factors that shape the costs of using these tools, (4) the actual (observed) costs of using them, and (5) the potential for imperfect substitutability of these tools. Finally, it concludes with some reflections on the current state of the research on comparative presidentialism.

The article discusses modern audioformats – audiobook, audio series and audio podcast. Now these formats have gained great popularity and demand, considerable market weight with their own segment, the growth of which experts note. The research material is audio products of the modern market, which reflect the trends in the development of audio literature in the current media environment. The scientific novelty of the work consists in the consideration of an audiobook, an audio series and an audio podcast in the context of a new stage in the development of audio culture. The problem of popularity of the studied audio products is considered in direct dependence on audio reading. It is understood as a modern modification of auditory reading, as a reader’s practice due to the qualitative changes in the material and technical base for creating audio records, for their copying and use. The analysis of audio formats in the informational, sociocultural and cognitive aspect of the modern media consumption allows the determination new editorial approaches to the work with audio texts. Conclusions are as follows: one can observe the tendency to transit from voicing printed texts to creating texts specially for voicing; there is a reduction in the novel form, stories become popular; the editing of audio books and audio series requires support from sound design principles; the editorial and director’s task on preparing podcasts is associated with the compositional alignment of several voices of storytellers, forming a single ideological and thematic field.

The article deals with the development of media spaces of virtual fan communities. The aim of the research was to reveal the specifics of online communication of virtual fan communities with the audience. The paper investigates the dialectics of the concepts of fan-community, media space, fandom. The article considers the main approaches to studying media space by Russian and foreign authors. The study describes the traditional offline communication practices of the fandoms. The authors substantiate the problem of the existence of a variety of communication channels of the fan communities with the audience (negative interpretation of content, limitations in monetization and evaluation of the effectiveness of communication practices, the growth of costs for the diversification of content, taking into account the features of different platforms). The paper identifies the trend of centralization of fan communities and the possibilities of technological support of user experience at all stages of the communication process as part of the use of online platform. The article gives an analysis of the media environment and media spaces of South Korea’s fan communities on the example of the South Korean case of the development of the fandom media space in the format of the Weverse mobile application. The study considers the techniques of interaction with the audience in the offline interaction limitations. The authors formulate conclusions about the specifics of the extended functionality of the platform, about the provided ways of organizing the virtual fan media space with the help of the platform; about the coming trend of transferring fan activities into the virtual environment.

Abstract: This introductory essay examines the state of Canadian communications scholarship. It maintains that the dominant stance taken by Canadian communications scholars is rooted in a leftist critique of the media that has become both detached from the media and disengaged from informed strategic action. In the context of a complex media environment, the paper argues for a refocusing on communication itself, an embrace of professional training, and, in the context of technological and social change, a research strategy based on research and development. Résumé: Cet article d'introduction examine l'état de la recherche en communication au Canada. Il soutient que le parti-pris prédominant de chercheurs canadiens en communication se fonde sur une critique gauchiste des médias qui au fil du temps s'est détachée à la fois des médias et d'actions stratégiques averties. Tenant compte de la complexité de l'environnement médiatique actuel, cet article appuie un retour à des approches portant sur la communication elle-même, une mise en valeur de l'entraînement professionnel et, dans le contexte de changements technologiques et sociaux, une stratégie de recherche fondée sur recherche et développement.

This article is aimed at discussing the critical analysis of a Muslim thinker, Malik Bennabi, of the state of contemporary Muslim society. This discussion uses a descriptive-analytic approach with Bennabi's works as the primary source and other supporting works as secondary sources. Bennabi's definition of a society, especially its origin, basic elements, and its stages, is described in detail as a basis for understanding Bennabi's thoughts. then, the article discusses Bennabi's analysis and criticism of the current state of Muslim society. For him, the root of all the problems experienced by Muslim society today is an internal weakness or what he calls "colonisability". This situation, according to him, creates vulnerable individuals and societies to be "colonized" again. Bennabi referred to these individuals in Muslim society as “Post-Muwaḥḥiddūn man”, as a sign that internal weaknesses began to emerge in Muslim society after the Muwaḥḥid dynasty. Based on his explanation, it can be concluded that the current Muslim society is disoriented and has lost its identity. The author also concludes that Bennabi's approach and analysis are able to describe the current state of Muslim society and the root of the problems it is experiencing.

Aristotle’s definition of rhetoric as the art of observing the available means of persuasion is one of the most widely used quotations not only in linguistics but also in social, political, and communication sciences. Aristotle, apart from defining the elements of rhetoric (logos, ethos and pathos), has proposed three types of rhetoric that refer either to the present situation (ceremonial), the past (judicial), or the future (political). The current president of Latvia and his language use is one of the most widely discussed topics across the media and academia due to the register, style, and content of his speeches. Moreover, the president of Latvia has a direct impact on how the state is perceived nationally and internationally; thus, it is significant to investigate the linguistic profile of the linguistic expression of the ideas communicated by the president to the wider public. The current study analyses 160 speeches given by president Egils Levits on nationally significant occasions as well as internationally with the aim to investigate whether the speeches of the president of Latvia correspond to the ceremonial, political or judicial rhetoric because the president represents both legal and political discourse as the former judge of the European Court of Human Rights and the former minister of Justice, and as the head of the Republic of Latvia represents the state nationally and abroad. The study is grounded in the theories on rhetoric and Critical Discourse Analysis applied to political discourse and presidential language and discussed by scholars such as Aristotle (1959), Van Dijk (2006), Chilton and Schäffner (2002), O’Keeffe (2006), Van Dijk (2008), David (2014), Wilson (2015) and Wodak and Mayer (2016). The results of the current study reveal that the speeches are a clear representation of a combination of legal, political, and ceremonial rhetoric and cross various semantic fields that are marked by the use of field terminology in combination with topos of definition and name interpretation to explain the terms directly in the speeches. The speeches by Levits are furthermore marked by relatively frequent use of loanwords, neologisms, obsolete words, and compounds that is one of the main characteristics of the linguistic profile of his speeches. Additional characteristic features are the use of parallel sentence constructions, inverted word orders, rhetorical questions, and pronominal referencing to attract the listener's attention and emphasize the thematic areas of the speeches. Nevertheless, it has been concluded that such linguistic techniques as metaphors, metonymies, synecdoche, or hyperbole are used comparatively less frequently, thus making the speeches appear more formal and less emotional from the linguistic point of view.

Nonstationary Systems

A direct “brute force” method of system identification is presented. The method is based on the definition of a deterministic system and applicable to nonlinear nonstationary systems with measurement noise. The approach is to discretize the state of the system (or equivalent measurable state), the input vector and time (in the case of a nonstationary system). For these discretized sets of values, the response i.e. the state at t + Δt is determined and stored, thus giving a “stored response” model SRM. The response for arbitrary input vector (within the class for which the model was made) is then obtained by interpolating stored responses for the current state vector, input vector and time thus yielding the state at the next Δt. Repeating this procedure produces the model’s dynamic response. The method of building the SRM table and using it is discussed and several examples are given. An optimal control problem is solved using the SRM model.

Annotation. Introduction. In today’s rapidly evolving Internet, new opportunities are emerging for scientific communication among scientists around the world. The dissemination of scientific ideas in society through the media is a daily norm abroad. In Ukraine, the attitude of the research community towards the promotion of scientific research still raises many questions: it is rather wary. For the even development of Ukrainian science, scientists need to cover the results of their work to a wide audience, communicate with press services and journalists and disseminate their ideas in society. With the emergence of new more effective ways and forms of scientific communication through Internet resources and relevant platforms, the creation of new information and scientific technologies, there is a need for state support of scientific activities, communication in Ukraine and ensuring the appropriate level of copyright protection of these scientists, developers etc. Purpose. The main purpose of the study is to monitor the state and trends of scientific communication in Ukraine in modern conditions and to develop recommendations for its further development. Results. The analysis of development of scientific communication in Ukraine is carried out. The definition of the concept of scientific communication is indicated. The process of scientific communication is schematically presented. The most common classification of scientific communication is given. The significance of the created National Research Fund of Ukraine for scientists and science in general is noted. The dynamics of the number of employees involved in the implementation of research and development, who have the degree of Doctor of Science and Doctor of Philosophy. The analysis of the employees number by level of education is involved in the implementation of research and development. Conclusions. We are convinced that the improvement of the support mechanism for Ukrainian science, scientists and scientists by the state will help to minimize the possible risks and dangers associated with copyright infringement and the decline of domestic science in general. Keywords: scientific communication; communicant; communicator; recipient.
