Актуальность исследования определяется противоречивостью современного прочтения ряда когерентных феноменов - семьи, родительства, материнства, отцовства, детства. Объектом исследования являются дискурсы российских сетевых сообществ отцов, которые выстраиваются вокруг проблем современной семейной и демографической политики. Новизна исследования состоит в дискурсивном анализе нарратива отцовских сообществ, рассмотрении представлений участников сообществ об отцовстве как социальном феномене. Анализируя интерактивный сайт Фонда поддержки семьи и семейных ценностей «Отцовство» и его сетевые ресурсы авторы приходят к выводу, что дискурсивно отцовство рассматривается в двух планах - как условие для развития ребенка и как часть личностной сферы мужчины. По результатам исследования выявляется новая дискурсивная стратегия отцовства - модель «отца-менеджера», в рамках которой актуализируются компетенции социально активного ответственного отцовства. The relevance of the study is determined by the inconsistency of the modern interpretation of a number of coherent phenomena - family, parenting, motherhood, paternity, childhood. The object of the research is the discourses of the Russian network communities of fathers, which are built around the problems of modern family and demographic policy. The novelty of the research lies in the discursive analysis of the narrative of paternal communities, consideration of the ideas of community members about paternity as a social phenomenon. Analyzing the interactive website of the Fund for Support of Family and Family Values «Fatherhood» and its network resources, the authors come to the conclusion that discursively, paternity is viewed in two ways - as a condition for the development of a child and as a part of a man's personal sphere. According to the results of the study, a new discursive strategy of fatherhood is revealed - the «father-manager» model, within the framework of which the competences of socially active responsible fatherhood are actualized.

War Reporting

 The paper employs an interpretative discourse analysis, to investigate the cultural ideas evoked linguistically throughout the coverage of the Gaza War of 2008-09 (Operation Cast Lead). It aims to provide a historical context to better understanding Operation Protective Edge. To allow for a comparative dimension, the paper develops two ‘frames’ of analysis that systematically look at two recurring themes and scrutinise their discursive strategies and functions in the construction of meaning and ideology. These include Provocation, which examines questions of responsibility and culpability; and Proportionality, which embraces matters of legitimacy and authority in relation to the humanitarian aspect of the war. The findings indicate that the actions of a protagonist may be deemed legitimate with regard to provocation, but illegitimate with regard to their proportionality. The peculiar circumstances of the war pushed the media in the direction of greater separation from the predominant ideologies ensued by the Israeli Army. It suggests that BBC World Service lack a coherent discursive strategy at the level of the lexical in their reporting of Gaza.

Significant Attention

Launched in 2013, Amazon Studios’s Pilot Season reportedly offers an alternative to the conventional Hollywood development cycle by soliciting viewer feedback through short surveys and star reviews to determine which projects are developed into original series. However, while Amazon Studios publicly assures us that viewers “Call the Shots,” the company has swiftly navigated away from such participatory discourse. Through a discursive analysis of promotional materials, executive and talent interviews, and responses from trade presses and critics, this article unpacks how Amazon Studios diminished the import of viewer feedback at the first sign of significant attention from the critical community and subsequently shifted to promotional discourses centered on markers of “Quality TV.” This case ultimately demonstrates that, as discursive strategies, participatory culture and Quality TV serve distinctive functions for the industry, with the former often relegated to attention-seeking gimmick and the latter functioning as a powerful tool of legitimation.

В данной статье представлены результаты социологического исследования сельских якутских семей. Актуальность статьи обусловлена растущим кризисом семьи, репродуктивного поведения, трансформацией гендерных аспектов современных форм семьи и их последствиях, что свидетельствует о культурном повороте целостного жизненного мира от ценностей совместимости, взаимопомощи в сторону индивидуализма, ослабления межличностных и межпоколенных взаимодействий, влияющих на социальное благополучие всех поколений. Авторами статьи выявлены современный уклад жизни, хозяйственной деятельности, размеры семьи, проживающей в их традиционном месте поселения, межпоколенческие связи. Предпринята классификация типов современных якутских семей, проживающих в сельской местности, по критериям пространственной локализации, уклада семьи, экономического состояния, социального статуса, ведущих нравственных ценностей, состава семьи. Выявлено 85 типов семей, сгруппированных по 6 критериям, характеризующим ведущие основы якутского этнического семьеведения. Исследование актуально тем, что на основе выявленной экосистемы семьи разработан социальный проект конструирования позитивных семейных ценностей в сельском социуме. This article presents the results of a sociological study of rural Yakut families. The relevance of the article is due to the growing crisis of the family, reproductive behavior, the transformation of gender aspects of modern family forms and their consequences, which indicates a cultural turn of the integral life world from the values of compatibility, mutual assistance towards individualism, and the weakening of interpersonal and intergenerational interactions that affect the social well-being of all generations. The authors of the article revealed the modern way of life, economic activity, family size, living in their traditional place of settlement, intergenerational ties. The classification of types of modern Yakut families living in rural areas according to the criteria of spatial localization, family structure, economic status, social status, leading moral values, and family composition is undertaken. 85 types of families were identified, grouped according to 6 criteria that characterize the leading foundations of Yakut ethnic family studies. The study is relevant because on the basis of the identified family ecosystem, a social project for constructing positive family values in rural society has been developed.

The goal of this research consists in identification of the strategies and tactics of a romantic communicative personality in situations of romantic communication in the Russian and English linguocultures. The article reveals the content of the conceptual apparatus of research, namely the terms “romantic discourse”, “discursive strategy”, and “discursive tactics” that are directly related to the questions of verbalization of inner intentions of the parties to communication process. It is demonstrated that romantic communication in the Russian and English linguocultures is characterized by the use of certain strategies and tactics of romantic communicative personality, which are implemented on the language level in the situations of romantic communication. Their application is predetermined by particular motives that can be traced in the speech. The scientific novelty of this research consists in determination of the crucial intentional difference in realization of the motivated discursive strategies and tactics of a romantic communicative personality in the context of romantic communication in the Russian and English linguocultures, which lies in the divergence of the ethnic- cultural background. The conducted research reveals the most frequently used discursive strategies and tactics of a romantic communicative personality in the Russian and English linguocultures, which are grouped into a table in accordance with the indicated linguocultures in order to better understand the discursive strategies and tactics characteristic to each linguoculture.

Discursive Strategy

Coming-out stories are important cultural texts wherein individuals articulate and interpret experiences of identifying as sexual minorities. Yet, much of the extant literature on coming-out stories examines narratives by white, middle-class gay men and lesbians. Critical inquiry into coming-out stories told by privileged queer subjects points to the formulaic and normative characteristics of their narratives, where sexual difference is downplayed or challenged. The goal of this article, then, is to ask whether and how coming-out narratives told by queer Black women conform to or depart from the “coming-out formula story.” Using an intersectional approach to narrative analysis, this article investigates the performative and discursive strategies that 50 women use in telling their coming-out stories on YouTube. Findings show that queer Black women’s use of intimate candor—the performative and discursive strategy of publicly revealing interior, often sexually explicit, aspects of the self—is a means through which women center desire and queerness; articulate a vision of queer Black womanhood; and complicate the coming-out formula.

O discurso da sustentabilidade imiscuiu-se no jargão dos negócios e tornou-se uma palavra de ordem no âmbito organizacional. Percebe-se que a mídia também ampliou a atenção, cujos protestos e causas ambientais realizados por meio da mídia passam a ser notícias de destaque. Norteado por fundamentos da análise sociológica do discurso, o objetivo desse estudo foi analisar a coerência entre as estratégias discursivas sobre sustentabilidade, extraídas dos Relatórios de Sustentabilidade (RS) de empresas de capital aberto com ações listadas na Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo, e as práticas ambientais dessas empresas relatadas no discurso midiático. No interior dos RS, além da análise discursiva de elementos norteadores da estratégia organizacional (discursos sobre missão, visão, princípios, crenças e valores), o estudo analisou outros trechos que forneceram o contexto para a interpretação discursiva. Em contraposição ao discurso institucional, foram analisadas as práticas dessas empresas relatadas pelo discurso midiático - jornais e revistas de grande circulação no país. Evidenciaram-se diversas incoerências entre os princípios norteadores das empresas e o discurso midiático. Observou-se que os padrões e funções discursivos transmitidos pelos RS, buscando uma imagem de empresa sustentável, operam de forma ideológica, procurando legitimidade por meio da repetição. Os RS apresentam-se como discursos prescritivos propondo regras de conduta e emitindo conselhos. Trata-se de discursos brilhantes na forma, acompanhados de símbolos e pobres de idéias, no sentido pejorativo da retórica. O estudo instiga reflexões acerca do accountability institucional e midiático e entre as contradições presentes no discurso e na prática institucional no que tange à sustentabilidade. Palavras-chave:Estratégias discursivas; padrões e funções discursivos; accountability; relatório de sustentabilidade. ABSTRACT Sustainability discourse has blended in business jargon becoming a watchword in organizational field. The media has also increased attention, whose protests and environmental causes have become prominent. This study examines the coherence between discursive strategies on sustainability, extracted from Sustainability Reports (SRs) of companies listed on the Brazilian Stock Exchange – BM&FBOVESPA, and environmental practices of these companies reported in media discourse. Discursive analysis of the guiding elements of organizational strategy (mission, vision, principles, beliefs and values discourses) within the SRs and media discourses – wide circulation newspapers and magazines in Brazil were contrasted and analyzed. The results showed several inconsistencies between institutional and media discourses. Discursive patterns and functions provided by the SRs operate ideologically and seek legitimacy through repetition. SRs presented prescriptive discourses and proposed rules of conduct and advices. The institutional discourses are brilliant in form and poor in ideas. This article contributes in order to reflect on institutional and media accountability and contradictions present both in discourse and institutional practices in regard to company sustainability. Keywords: discursive strategies; institutional and media discourses; accountability; Sustainability Report (SR).

Discourse Historical Approach

This article explores how verbal violence on Facebook was performed by the users. It investigates the discursive strategy exploited by them. The data of verbal violence were taken from user comments to news update posted on Indonesian news portal fans pages under the topic of Paris tragedy. The comments were taken from four different Indonesian news fans pages, namely Detik.com, Kompas.com, Liputan6.com and Tribunnews.com. The collected data were analyzed qualitatively. Applying Discourse Historical Approach (DHA) proposed by Wodak, the result shows that the users exploits three strategies to perform verbal violence namely referential strategy, predicative strategy and argumentation strategy. Employing referential strategy, verbal violence is realized in the form of noun and noun phrase, which functions as subject, object and modifier of noun phrase. Employing predicative strategy, verbal violence is realized in the form of word, phrase and clause, which function as attribute or predicate. Employing argumentation strategy, verbal violence is realized in the form of sentence and discourse.

This work aims to understand the reception of the American television sitcom Modern Family by French and Chinese students. The first part of this research points up disparities of interpretation between French and Chinese receivers and the second one the congruent elements. The analysis of the sociocultural context of France and China is based on the theory of reception. Actually, the receptions partly differ in the most important place granted by the Chinese audience to family relationships while the French audience regards the mode of production of the series as more important. Although the French audience’s critical reading on scenario, stereotypic usage of decors and dialogues are less present among Chinese students, a large part of ideas and social values as well as family values of series are recognized as much by the French audience as by the Chinese one: among these, love, family and mutual assistance between relatives are rated as the most important.

The aim of this article is to find out what the status of English, currently the primary working language within the EU institutions, might look like once the United Kingdom leaves the EU structures. To that end, this paper will analyse a selection of press articles. Although the manner in which the so-called Brexit will take place is still uncertain, a diverse range of opinions and prognostications on what will happen to English is being expressed publicly, taking into consideration many factors (political, sociological and purely linguistic) which may contribute to a possible scenario or scenarios. This article does not lay claim to submitting any firm or reliable vision of the future as none such exists elsewhere. This paper intends to analyze some discursive strategies employed by the authors of the articles to place the discussed subject into a discursive framework by using tools of critical discourse analysis which mainly focus on the relation of power and language.
