THEORETICAL JUSTIFICATION PROBLEMS OF ORBITAL MASS MEDIA

Modern media not only (such as radio, newspapers, television or online journalism), but also the full range of media (e.g. theater, music, exhibitions, cinema, drama, opera, visual arts etc.) promote narrative – interpretive both the journalist and the audience the contexts of the realities referred to in the journalistic presentation. But with the introduction of holistic systems of ideologically united mass media, the narrative is no longer characterized by the temporality or length of interpretations. Contexts and narratives of mass media content no longer mask under assumptions or hypotheses a specific ideological, party, worldview position, which is far from thinking about the cognition of life, journalism, the work of a journalist. The once dualistic use of the context of the interpretive environment has turned into a non-constructivist model of pressure on the audience not through plots, but from fundamental ideological and ideological, and often direct, party proposals. It is proposed to consider the context as a basis for interaction and different media, which are not only united by common ideological narratives, but which have a certain center around which all the content is not loaded on the target audience. We have the effect of orbital mass media – within their content proposals there is an interaction of authors and audiences in order to distribute such content, which in the framework of informing about something or someone not so much improves media and audience interaction as an element of severe content pressure on the audience. Those journalistic broadcasts that are broadcast by these groups of media.

It is shown that psychological support from parents of students with disabilities is an important socio-psychological resource that affects the success of their higher professional education. It was found that the nature of relationships with parents is markedly different for students with disabilities and students with preserved health. The content features of changes in parental position at different stages of students' education are reviewed: from parents' encouragement of life success to their performance of compensatory supporting function.

Artistic Vanguards in Brazil, 1952 to 1990

Vanguard movements in the arts and literature from mid-20th century Brazil are termed neo-vanguard to distinguish them from the historical vanguard movements of the century’s early decades, even though the neo-vanguards share common features with them. These include an open spirit of internationalism, experimentation with form and language, and the use of fragmentation, simultaneity, minimalism, and graphic display. When they first appeared in the 1950s and 1960s, the neo-vanguards were differentiated by a rationalist, materialist, and functional approach to language, letters and art, visible in geometrical abstraction and based on research. The São Paulo poets Haroldo de Campos, Augusto de Campos, and Décio Pignatari formed the most prominent and influential literary group, known as “Poesia concreta” [Concrete Poetry]. Poesia concreta continues to shape and influence vanguard art, literature, and design in São Paulo. Their 1958 manifesto, “Plano-piloto para poesia concreta” [Pilot-Plan for Concrete Poetry], reshaped national poetics while adding an international aesthetic dimension. In Rio de Janeiro, the “Grupo Frente” led by artists Hélio Oiticica, Lygia Clark, and Lygia Pape supported the 1959 Neoconcrete movement and manifesto, defending the position that concrete poetry and art should be less mechanical and more expressive of human realities. Bossa nova introduced a syncopated, polished style that gained international fame through João Gilberto and Antônio Carlos Jobim, and it turned attention toward Brazilian arts. In the 1950s and 1960s, individual authors worked within their own neo-vanguard styles outside of any movement, the most important being João Guimarães Rosa, whose reworkings of language and orality produced the major novel of the century, Grande sertão: veredas (1956), and Clarice Lispector, creator of dense existential consciousness in prose, mainly involving women in crisis. The 1964 military coup changed the disposition of vanguard art into one of resistance, reflected in Cinema Novo, Tropicália, theater, music, popular periodicals, mass culture, and marginal literature. Popular vanguard movements effectively ended, went underground, or adopted more unconventional formats in the 1970s because of political tension. The end of an effusive period of creativity in the 1950s and 1960s was marked by the publication of the collected works of the concrete poets, their inclusion in international anthologies, and a national atmosphere of increased political repression and violence.
