This chapter explores the earliest artist-led pirate TV project, PKP-TV, as an example of how squatter tactics were applied to the media. The illegal channel, which was created by the artists Maarten Ploeg (né van der Ploeg), Peter Klashorst, and Rogier van der Ploeg, made it its mission to crack open the closed medium of television. PKP and pirate cable TV in the Netherlands are situated within a longer history of both alternative TV projects internationally—such as the Videofreex and TVTV—as well as video and film-based artworks shown on television both in the Netherlands and abroad. Artist-led pirate television in the Netherlands, like squatters in urban space, cracked open the media space of television and created temporary autonomous platforms.

The article analyzes methods of explication of the traditional and widely used stable biblical expression «forbidden fruit». The study is based on a diachronic section – from the interpretation of the biblical text to the communicative intention of dialogue participants in the media space illustrating nuclear and peripheral meanings. The analysis includes biblical texts that realize the archetypal meaning of the biblical expression «forbidden fruit» in which it is called the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The secularized interest in the kind of tree, on which forbidden fruits grew, is motivated by a realistic presentation of a sad history of the first people’s fall in the Book of Genesis. Scientific hypotheses have their origins since the Middle Ages, when artists recreated the author’s story of eating the forbidden fruit. For religion, the variety of the fruit is not of fundamental importance, however, visualization in the works of art has become an incentive for the further use of the biblical expression with a new semantic segment. Modern media texts actively represent the transformation of the biblical expression«forbidden fruit» for different purposes: in advertising texts for pragmatic one, in informative, educational, ideological texts for cognitive one, in entertaining textsfor communicative one, lowering the spiritual and semantic value register of the modern language. Therefore, the process of desemantization and profanization of the biblical expression results in the destruction of national stereotypes in Russian people’s worldview.

Numa tentativa de trazer para o debate as postagens dos estudantes que também transitam na web, este estudo traz para a discussão os posts que circulam no Facebook, mais especificamente na Página da Escola Duque de Caxias, Página do Colégio Carmela Dutra e Página do Colégio Barão de Solimões de Porto Velho, estado de Rondônia, procurando destacar que os registros compartilhados, possíveis fontes para a historiografia da educação, mantêm acesas a memória e as vivências compartilhadas de participação dos usuários junto à vida escolar. Quais as histórias escolares mais lembradas? Conhecer sobre as histórias dessas escolas pode ser um caminho para tentar compreender os sentidos atribuídos à memória das experiências manifestadas através dos relatos dos sujeitos. Os usuários desempenham papéis indicadores de parâmetros culturais que condicionam as ações cotidianas, as representações e lugares. Cabe à tela, a capacidade de conceder um brilho à vida recriada no espaço midiático, no qual produtores e receptores manejam a linguagem, com vistas à produção de sentidos, demandando novas interpretações. Valho-me dos estudiosos Certeau (1982), Chartier (2002), Lèvy (1999) e Sibilia (2008) instigando-me a pensar que essas postagens representam valores culturais, criatividades cotidianas, práticas sociais para a produção e significação das histórias escolares, ampliando, os repertórios de fontes para a História da Educação rondoniense.* * *In an attempt to bring to the debate the postings of students who also travel on the web, this study brings to the discussion the posts circulating on Facebook, more specifically the Page of the Duque de Caxias School, Page of the College Carmela Dutra and Page of the College Barão de Solimões of Porto Velho, state of Rondônia, seeking to emphasize that shared records, possible sources for the historiography of education, keep alive the memory and the shared experiences of users' participation in school life. Which school stories are most remembered? Knowing about the stories of these schools can be a way to try to understand the senses attributed to the memory of the experiences manifested through the subjects' reports. Users play the role of indicators of cultural parameters that condition daily actions, representations and places. It is the capacity to give a brightness to the life recreated in the media space, in which producers and receivers manage the language, with a view to the production of senses, demanding new interpretations. I think the researchers Certeau (1982), Chartier (2002), Lèvy (1999) and Sibilia (2008) help me to that these postings represent cultural values, everyday creations, social practices for the production and signification of school histories, amplifying, the repertoires of sources for the History of the rondonian Education.

This study seeks to understand the origins and reasons behind the grammar and style guidelines elaborated by Brazilian broadcasters and video producers and applied to the translated subtitles of cable television shows. The language of the translation is often controlled, and coarse or scatological vocabulary tends to be curbed or avoided, among other restrictions. Brazil was under a military regime from 1964 to 1985, when the media was subjected to strict censorship. Could it be that this heritage still casts a shadow over current policies applied to audiovisual translation (AVT)? To approach this issue, this study outlines the history of censorship applied to content and language during the Brazilian military regime, describes the evolution of the AVT industry in the context of cable television in Brazil, and finally conveys first-hand insights and experiences on language control by quality control professionals. The ultimate goal is to bring these rulemaking processes to light, in an attempt to help improve the dialogue between end clients and service providers, for the benefit of the viewers.

The article is devoted to linguoconflictology – a branch of Russian linguistics, which reveals the causes and consequences of confrontational interaction. The article describes the history of its formation in the framework of legal linguistics as one of the linguophilosophical foundations of judicial linguistic expertise. Linguoconflictology is addressed, first of all, to future and current linguists-experts and is intended to make them aware of the regularities of conflict communication, which is subject to judicial linguistic examination, and the conflict nature of the expert activity itself; and secondly, future and current employees of mass media – for the prevention of speech torts in them. The author's version of this science is described. The author reveals its basic concepts and shows the gradation from communicative failure to communicative conflict, which is characterized as normative-axiological and occurs when the norms of communication (naive-ethical, professional-ethical and legal) are violated. According to the author, it should be distinguished from speech conflict as a form of activity. Specific to this variant of linguoconflictology is the linguo-legal conflict. Its occurrence is caused by violation of legal requirements and prohibitions.The analysis algorithm developed by the author is demonstrated by the example of a double case – a conflict that began in the sports sphere as an injury in a stage football match, and continued in the media space of sports journalism as a communicative conflict and it almost escalated into a conflict linguolegal.

The analysis of urban experience of modernity developed simultaneously with the analysis of collective memory. Urban space is related with a palimpsest metaphor, which includes urban memory in the history of memory understood as a history of the media. In recent years the relationship between memory and a city is analyzed on the examples featuring multiculturalism and migration movements of the cities of the Central Europe, e.g. in the Vienna monograph ca. 1900 Das Gedächtnis der Städte (The Memory of the City) by Moritz Csaky. On the other hand, the media paradigm is used by Christine Boyer, who analyses visual manifestations of city memory in her book The City of Collective Memory. Juxtaposition of the two mutually complementing scientific attitudes invokes a need to postulate a deeper analysis of the role of popular culture and visuality in shaping the memory of cities, as well as conducting further studies on cross-country and transnational “cultural tangles”.

SummaryThe association between plasma fibrinogen, factor VII, factor X, activated partial thromboplastin time, antithrombin III and the lifestyle factors cigarette smoking, alcohol use, fat intake and physical activity was assessed in 802 men aged 70-90 years in Zutphen (The Netherlands), Montegiorgio and Crevalcore (Italy).Smoking was positively associated with fibrinogen, also after adjustment for other lifestyle factors, age, use of anticoagulants and aspirin like drugs, body mass index, and history of myocardial infarction. Alcohol use was associated with increased levels of factor X and decreased levels of antithrombin III. Fat intake was positively associated with antithrombin III. Between cohorts, considerable differences were observed in levels of haemostatic parameters and the lifestyle factors. Compared to the mediterranean cohorts the Zutphen cohort showed the highest levels of fibrinogen and factor VII. Differences in lifestyle factors could, however, not explain differences between cohorts in levels of any of the haemostatic parameters, despite the observed associations between lifestyle factors and haemostatic parameters.

The methods of our research are: analysis of pedagogical, psychological, literature, synthesis, comparison, generalization. The article analyzes the views of domestic and foreign scientists on the problem of immutation in the media and the transformation of the information space. In the context of the mass nature of the immutation of society, the concept of “media socialization” becomes relevant, which is the basis for reducing the negative impact of the media on the individual.The author identifies the lack of a thorough study of the concept of “media socialization” in modern scientific thought. Thus, media socialization is associated with the transformation of traditional means of socialization, and is to assimilate and reproduce the social experience of mankind with the help of new media.The article analyzes the essence of the concepts “media space”, “mass media” and “immutation”. The influence of mass media on the formation and development of the modern personality is described in detail.The study concluded that it is necessary to form a media culture of the individual, to establish safe and effective interaction of young people with the modern media system, the formation of media awareness, media literacy and media competence in accordance with age and individual characteristics for successful media socialization. The role of state bodies in solving the problem of media socialization of the individual was also determined. It is determined that the process of formation of media culture in youth should take place at the level of traditional institutions of socialization of the individual.The author sees the prospect of further research in a detailed analysis and study of the potential of educational institutions as an institution and a means of counteracting the mass nature of the immutation of society.Key words: immutation, media socialization, mass media, media space, information.

The history of the human face is the history of its social coding and the media- conditions of its appearance. The best way to explain the »selfie«-practices of today’s digital culture is to understand such practices as both participative and commercialized cultural techniques that allow their users to fashion their selves in ways they consider relevant for their identities as individuals. Whereas they may put their image of themselves front stage with their selfies, such images for being socially shared have to match determinate role-expectations, body-norms and ideals of beauty. Against this backdrop, collectively shared repertoires of images of normalized subjectivity have developed and leave their mark on the culture of digital communication. In the critical and reflexive discourses that surround the exigencies of auto-medial self-thematization we find reactions that are critical of self-representation as such, and we find strategies of de-subjectification with reflexive awareness of their media conditions. Both strands of critical reactions however remain ambivalent as reactions of protest. The final part of the present article focuses on inter-discourses, in particular discourses that construe the phenomenon of selfies thoroughly as an expression of juvenile narcissism. The author shows how this commonly accepted reading which has precedents in the history of pictorial art reproduces resentment against women and tends to stylize adolescent persons into a homogenous »generation« lost in self-love
