In this paper we provide a synopsis of our research ondialogical networksin media (Leudar 1998; Leudar and Nekvapil 1998; Nekvapil and Leudar 1998; Nekvapil and Leudar 2002a, 2002b, Leudar, Marsland and Nekvapil 2003, Nekvapil and Leudar in press). We outline the concept, provide an example of analysis with that concept, and summarize constitutive properties of these networks. The analysis uses materials from both Czech and British newspaper articles and television debates, all of which relate to politically sensitive events. The Czech materials in particular concern inter-ethnic problems which were acute between 1992–1995, first in the now dissolved Czechoslovakia and then in the Czech Republic.

Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit Kommunikationsformen in den Massenmedien, die als "dialogische Netzwerke" im Rahmen einer partizipatorischen politischen Kultur bezeichnet werden. Die zentralen Eigenschaften dieser Netzwerke bestehen darin, dass die Beiträge einzelner Akteure zur Kommunikation in Zeit und Raum verteilt sind und zu einem Netzwerk vervielfältigt werden können. Dialogische Netzwerke sind immer thematisch und argumentativ kohärent, wobei die Kohäsion in erster Linie durch Sequenzstrukturen hergestellt wird. Diese Strukturen entsprechen jenen, die in direkten Gesprächen gefunden werden können, aber sie weisen einige unterschiedliche Merkmale auf, z.B. (1) regieren oft mehrere Akteure auf einen ersten Teil der Sequenz; (2) der zweite Teil einer Sequenz ist oft eine Reaktion auf mehrere Versionen des ersten Teils; (3) die Verbindung zwischen den Teilen der Sequenz wird oft durch Journalisten vermittelt. Die Autoren verdeutlichen dies am Beispiel des öffentlichen Diskurses über interethnische Probleme zwischen Tschechen und der Roma-Minderheit in den Jahren 1992 bis 1995. (ICI2)

'Dialogical networks' are communications that occur in mass media. One of their characteristics is that contributions of individual actors - politicians, journalists, representatives of pressure groups, etc - are distributed in time & space. (A politician can, for instance, react in the media to what another politician expressed publicly elsewhere). Another central property of dialogical networks is that an individual's contribution to a network can be duplicated, or even multiplicated (eg, what is said in a TV studio may be reproduced in several newspapers). Working in a broadly ethnomethodological & conversation analytical framework, we focus on two aspects of sequential organization - adjacency pair structures & repair structures - with the aim to clarify the respects in which they differ in dialogical networks & in everyday conversations.

On 12 Jan 1993, 6 days after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, an article appeared in the Czech national daily Rude pravo reporting two events - a meeting of the preparatory committee of the Democratic Party of Sudetenland (DPS) & a subsequent news conference given by its chairman, Jaroslav Bluhmel. The party & its chairman were almost unknown to the public. The two events, however, turned out to be politically significant. What Bluhmel had said was reported in most of the mass media & elicited public reactions from major politicians. Here, focus is on how the political identity of the DPS was established & contested in the mass media, using articles in national newspapers & on a TV program. The DPS began with an almost empty intersubjectivity; how this was fleshed out by binding to it the views, intentions, & actions of incumbents & opponents is demonstrated. This fleshing out was by no means a consensual matter; Bluhmel & his political opponents never converged on a common definition of the DPS.
