Facial tracking technologies have been incorporated in digital cameras for many years, and are offered to users of social networks such as Facebook to facilitate and automatize tagging (the process of recognizing one’s face in a picture and associating it with a user’s profile) and image sharing. Nevertheless, in recent times, facial recognition technologies seem to have taken a new turn, and from the simple recognition of faces with cameras and social networks they have become embedded in mainstream security technologies as much as in entertaining ‘face swap’ apps, transforming the social and cultural implications of the selfie. This paper examines the political implications of new technologies for facial recognition, and proposes a new type of selfie aesthetic characterized by new forms of human and machinic agency. The paper argues that when the selfie becomes mediated by new tracking technologies for security system and entertainment based on face-recognition algorithms, the selfie becomes an ‘Algorithmic Facial Image’.

The article is devoted to the linguistic and stylistic solution to research problems of communicative variance of the review genre in modern Ukrainian mass media. The author's provability is based on the contrast of the chosen methodology of medialinguistic analysis and the already formed tradition in the social and communicative scientific paradigm. It allows to realize a comprehensive, syncretic investigation of the functional, context-oriented nature of the review. Medialinguistic analysis of the review genre is based on current illustrative material from authoritative in Ukraine media resources (Voice of America, Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty, BBC) that were interpreted using stylistic and quantitative methodology. It helps to indicate the permanent evolution of the review model: architectonics, system of language units and most importantly – functions. There is a tendency for the review to be more informative, and its analytical nature is defined as an additional functional component a priori. Thus, the idea of the review hypergenre status, alternatively realized in the style of mass media communication, is argued in connection with its extralinguistically motivated tasks and priorities. Such peculiarity of the review genre helps to determine the prospects of its research analysis, especially nowadays, in linguistic and cultural discourse that deepens the medialinguistic and genre subjectivity of the professional interpretation of modern mass media communication.

This chapter provides a brief review of the main ways of obtaining resources from the non-profit entities in order to appreciate the new tools for doing so, as well as the possibilities of new technologies in this field.
