This is the most comprehensive collection to date on how economic globalization transforms contemporary humanistic inquiries on matters of fundamental cultural and political significance.

The article analyzes some peculiarities of the campaigning in social media (on Facebook example) by the political forces that entered (according to the election results 2019) to their national parliaments (the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and the Sejm of the Republic of Poland). The type of the content posted in Facebook, as well as user reactions, have been explored in the article. There were selected the common features and differences of using Facebook (that remains the most popular social media in the above-mentioned countries) in the parliamentary election campaigns of Ukraine and Poland in 2019. The following methods were used in the study: empirical, functional and comparative. It was stated that in both countries Facebook (like other social media) is not yet the main agitation tool, but it continues to gain more popularity and publicity, and not only in the electoral process. This fact is also related to the growing number of the Internet users. The most popular content type in social media is photo or (less frequently) video. However, not all political forces in both countries make full use of the Facebook possibilities (for example, Facebook events are not always created, comments often remain unanswered, etc.). Also, Facebook pages of some political parties are not sufficiently supported (such cases are observed not only in Ukraine but also in Poland). Instead, more attention is focused on social media profiles of the political forces leaders and on the advertising or campaigning in traditional media.Further development of this research may include analysis of campaigning in other social media, funds spent on advertising and / or profile management, profiles of the political forces leaders.The results of the research can be used not only for conducting of the effective electoral campaigns by political forces, but also for the high quality social changes (e.g, be applied in the public organisations or government agencies work). ; В статье проанализированы особенности проведения агитации с помощью социальных медиа (на примере «Facebook») политическими силами, которые попали (согласно результатам выборов 2019 г.) в парламенты своих стран (Верховной Рады Украины и нижней палаты Национальной Ассамблеи Республики Польша – Сейма Республики Польша). Исследованы контент и его формат, а также реакции пользователей. Установлены общие черты и различия использования «Facebook» (был и остается на момент написания данной статьи самым популярным социальным медиа в указанных государствах) в парламентских предвыборных кампаниях Украины и Польши 2019 года. В ходе исследования применялись следующие методы: эмпирический, функциональный и сравнительный. Констатировано, что в обеих странах «Facebook» (как и другие социальные медиа) еще не является основным инструментом агитации, однако он продолжает приобретать большую популярность и общественный вес и не только в избирательном процессе. Это также связано с ростом количества пользователей интернета. Самым популярным форматом контента является фото или (немного реже) видео. Однако не все политические силы обеих стран используют в полной мере потенциал «Facebook» (например, не всегда создаются события мероприятий, пользователи очень часто не получают ответ на свои комментарии и др.). Также все еще не уделяется должное внимание развитию некоторых партийных страниц в «Facebook» (это можно наблюдать не только в У краине, но и в Польше). Но часто в таких случаях большее внимание сосредоточивается на профилях в соцмедиа лидеров политических сил и рекламе или освещении предвыборной кампании традиционными СМИ.В дальнейшем разработка данного направления исследования может касаться: анализа ведения агитации в других социальных медиа; средств, потраченных на рекламу и/или администрирования профилей; страниц в социальных медиа руководителей (лидеров) политических сил.Все это имеет большое значение не только для проведения эффективных выборных кампаний политическими силами, но и для обеспечения качественных общественных изменений (например., применяться в деятельности общественных организаций или государственных структур). ; У статті проаналізовано особливості проведення агітації за допомогою соціальних медіа (на прикладі «Facebook») політичними силами, які потрапили (згідно результатів виборів 2019 р.) до парламентів своїх країн (Верховної Ради України та нижньої палати Національної Асамблеї Республіки Польща Сейму Республіки Польща). Досліджено контент та його формат, а також реакції користувачів. Встановлено спільні риси і відмінності використання «Facebook» (був і залишається на час написання даної розвідки найпопулярнішим соціальним медіа у зазначених державах) у парламентських передвиборних кампаніях України й Польщі 2019 р. У ході дослідження застосовувалися методи: емпіричний, функціональний та порівняльний. Констатовано, що в обох країнах «Facebook» (як і ін. соціальні медіа) ще не є основним інструментом агітації, однак він продовжує набувати більшої популярності та суспільної ваги і не лише у виборчому процесі. Це також пов'язано зі зростанням кількості користувачів інтернету. Найпопулярнішим форматом контенту є фото або (трохи рідше) відео. Проте не всі політичні сили обох країн використовують повною мірою потенціал «Facebook» (наприклад, не завжди створюються події заходів, користувачі дуже часто не отримають відповідь на свої коментарі та ін.). Також все ще не приділяється належна увага розвитку деяких партійних сторінок у «Facebook» (це може спостерігатись не лише в Україні, а й у Польщі). Натомість у таких випадках більша увага зосереджується на профілях у соцмедіа лідерів політичних сил та рекламі чи висвітленні передвиборної кампанії традиційними ЗМІ.У подальшому розробка цього напряму дослідження може стосуватися: аналізу ведення агітації в ін. соціальних медіа; коштів, витрачених на рекламу та/або адміністрування профілів; сторінок у соціальних медіа керівників (лідерів) політичних сил. Усе це має вагоме значення не лише для проведення ефективних виборних кампаній політичними силами, а й для забезпечення якісних суспільних змін (напр., застосовуватися у діяльності громадських організацій або державних структур).

In this paper we examine some of the properties of the speeches by former Prime Minister José María Aznar held in Spanish parliament in 2003 legitimating his support of the USA and the threatening war against Iraq. The theoretical framework for the analysis is a multidisciplinary CDA approach relating discursive, cognitive and sociopolitical aspects of parliamentary debates. It is argued that speeches in parliament should not only be defined in terms of their textual properties, but also in terms of a contextual analysis. Besides an analysis of the usual properties of ideological and political discourse, such as positive self-presentation and negative other-presentation and other rhetoric devices, special attention is paid to political implicatures defined as inferences based on general and particular political knowledge as well as on the context models of Aznar's speeches.

Artwork and popular cultures are crucial sites of contesting and transforming power relationships in world politics. The contributors to this edited collection draw on their experiences across arts, activist, and academic communities to analyze how the global politics of colonialism, capitalism, and patriarchy are expressed and may be transformed through popular cultures and artistic labour. Through their methodological treatment of artwork and popular cultures as material sites of generating aesthetic knowledge and embodying global power, the authors foreground an analysis of global hierarchies and transformative empowerment through critically engaged political imagination and cultural projects. By centralizing an intersectional analysis of the racialized, gendered, economic dimensions of the praxis of culture, The Art of Global Power demonstrates how artwork and popular culture projects, events, and institutions are vital sites of transgressing the material conditions that produce and sustain unjust global power hierarchies. This book intervenes in the international relations popular culture literature by problematizing the idea of a single homogenizing global popular culture and engaging with multiple popular cultures articulated from diverse global locations and worldviews. To the international relations aesthetics literature this book contributes an intersectional analysis of aesthetics as an embodied process of knowledge production and action that takes place within global conditions of colonialism, capitalism, and patriarchy. This book will be of interest to students, researchers and practitioners of international relations, and gender, cultural and media studies.

Groups matter in our ordinary folk psychology because a part of our social interactions is done with collective entities. In our everyday life, we indeed sometimes ascribe mental states to social groups as a whole or to individuals as members of groups in order to understand and predict their behavior. The aim of this paper is to explore this aspect of social interactions by focusing on the concept of 'collective belief' in a non-summative sense and, more precisely, on collective belief of a specific kind of group: the political party. How can the concept of 'collective belief' help to understand the interactions which involve these kinds of collective entities? After providing an epistemic description of political parties, this paper focuses on the collective belief in a non-summative sense. As Gilbert says, a group believes that p, if its members are jointly committed to believe that p as a body. It is argued, with the help of an example from the political history of France, that this view can enable us to understand the interaction between political parties. More precisely, it can help clarify the way in which a political party uses the rational constraints on the party as a whole and/or the social and epistemic constraints on the behavior of the group's members in order to destabilize or weaken other political parties.

This article reviews new aspects of the interplay between fashion and advertising, says that advertising messages through text-description shows image of the advertised product, with marking does not have to link with the signified. The basic expression fashion trends are in advertising.At XXI century advertising is always looking for new forms of expression, it involves in their communicative space of various art trends, cultural studies and public opinion. One of its main sources is a formative fashion.Transformed from a simple craft into a developed industry, fashion is becoming popular and constantly debated phenomenon. An increasing of its value and relevance to modern society, it sets the necessary impression creates the desired image for a particular person or goods. Fashion simultaneously combines the stability of tradition and innovative tricks, such as creativity and commercial benefits. We can state that thanked to advertising and marketing professional, more people follow fashion trends and become "fashion victims".Despite the fact that there are a large number of works on the history of fashion, art and outstanding designers create clothes, marketing in the fashion industry and "fashion philosophy", some questions still left unattended researchers, in particular the problem of interaction of advertising and fashion in terms of post and post-post-culturewhich, in our opinion, needs detailed study.First of all it is worth to mention the work of F. Kotler "Principles of Marketing", which theoretically grounded relationship marketing in the traditional sense of the term, with the global fashion industry. In the theoretical work of T. Hines and M. Bruce "Fashion Marketing" describes the basic techniques of marketing in contemporary fashion, given the statistics. In this work analyzes the activity of representatives of fashion secrets revealed professional artists. Another theoretical work that reveals the direct sphere of modern fashion is a "Fashion world" of French journalist M. Tunheym, which is an actual example of fashion masterpieces.Particular note is the work of French semiotics, the philosopher R. Barthes "fashion system" in which theoretical stresses that modern fashion is the opposition of three systems: "clothes-image (photo or drawing that have only limited symbolic), 2) Clothing-description (text, commenting that image) and 3) real clothing" [1, 9]. The first and third system, by R. Barth, mostly exhausted its denotative message transmission or manual visual image for practical action, while ьsystem-describing saturated clothing connotations; it is located "between things and words". We cannot agree with the theoretical relative that description connects fashion with the outside world, but at the same time and tendentiously distorting the world.A similar opinion was expressed by the modern Swedish researcher L. Svendsen in the "fashion philosophy". The author considers fashion as a phenomenon that, on the one hand, promotes the aesthetic of human life, on the other; affect the identity of the human population, backgrounds. French sociologist and philosopher J. Baudriyar continues the idea R. Barth, and draws attention to the social side of the phenomenon of fashion. For him, in the centres of interest are human simulacra-world signs that are manifested in various spheres of culture – art, fashion, media, technology, sexual relations and others.As noted in our advertising time, as the description text, shapes the fashion, it can transmit not only information about products and services, but also on public opinion in general or the political preferences of the masses. In modern fashion the rules permissible limits and canons of beauty disappear. It is filled with stylistic eclecticism, with all possible variations and combinations simulacra. The most common fashion borders on art, using the principal components of the artistic image – cognitive, regulatory and communicative. Combining data elements, it creates a new dialogue between the thing and its customer, which is dominated by the same thing.To better promote products, specialists in public relations, PR managers developed "special" story of collection that told what had fascinated the designer during creating this collection, inspired and motivated him. This myth has a certain character and it can be both too romantic and compassionate-dramatic. Always available a certain mystery in the message you are composing. Press releases (summary of concepts) often served with a touch of a charitable cause. In some cases, even a fashion filled with mystical meaning, appeal to the "sublime Gothic". This trend can be seen in the collections of local designers, for example, in the same collection Valerie Kovalska called "13".Thus, the hallmark of fashion is its pragmatic direction. The main income is presented as such especially for promotion of a product created by the so-called seasonal "must-have" objects of desire, trends, the hit lists of the month. A limited collection created an illusory uniqueness. Permanent imposing certain image cannot remain indifferent consumer and sooner or later he/she still remembered the advertised product. We introduce a special system of discounts and bonuses which are not always true, for example, the price of the thing to the "sale" and after remain unchanged.The use of a large number of different prints, dominated by vivid images, deep colors with complex graphics are popular. As a starting point "lucky number" are the first letter of proper names or "sacred mantras", which will certainly bring happiness and prosperity. Apply all known kitsch images:, ironic, romantic images of fairy tales (imagine myself Oriental Beauty); optical illusion that the buyer is transferred into the mysterious world of fantasy; surreal prints that are associated with S. Dali masterpieces; drawings and abstract floral patterns, graphic lines and geometric shapes, all of these things come to mind. Nothing can stop contemporary designers to bring their collections.Thus, we can state that the fashion continuously marked clothing and a world. Advertising creates fashion, it predicts the desired information about a product and imposes other people's opinions and preferences. Advertisingcombines the perception of reality and creates its reality by itself. The public mood is formed by the artificial icons. It sets the style which all people must wish. Even if in imitation of a designed image difficulties appear (such as lack of money or social status)but due to the advertising (description text)a consumer still wants to to become the owner of the advertised product. ; В статье рассматриваются современные аспекты взаимодействия моды и рекламы. Отмечается, что в рекламных сообщениях благодаря описанию-тексту эксплицируется образ рекламированного товара, при этом означающее не обязательно имеет связь с означаемым.

"What happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? In this book Kate Crawford reveals how this planetary network is fueling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased inequality. Drawing on more than a decade of research, award-winning science, and technology, Crawford reveals how AI is a technology of extraction: from the energy and minerals needed to build and sustain its infrastructure, to the exploited workers behind 'automated' services, to the data AI collects from us. Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms, Crawford offers us a political and a material perspective on what it takes to make artificial intelligence and where it goes wrong. While technical systems present a veneer of objectivity, they are always systems of power. This is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to reshape the world."--

This study aims to investigate the Thai PM Gen Prayuth Chan-o-cha's use of stance expressions to construe trust, comprising attitudinal stance, epistemic stance and modality, in his weekly addresses broadcast on national television from March to December, 2017. The linguistic investigation incorporating Critical Discourse Analysis and trust frameworks shows that the three main aspects of trust are pursued. Integrity is however predominantly constructed through the use of a modal verb kʰᴐ̌ː 'would like' and an attitudinal verb jà:k 'want'. Interestingly, a relatively small number of stance markers are found to project competency and benevolence. The results have led to the conclusion that the PM's trust-building strategies mainly involve the construal of integrity by asserting his moral values linked with national reform, reconciliation, and advancement. These characteristics of linguistic hegemony via the construction of trust-building are expected to raise more sociopolitical awareness in the Thai political context.

"More than 53 million Latinos now constitute the largest, fastest-growing, and most diverse minority group in the United States, and the nation's political future may well be shaped by Latinos' continuing political incorporation. In the 2012 election, Latinos proved to be a critical voting bloc in both Presidential and Congressional races; this demographic will only become more important in future American elections. Using new evidence from the largest-ever scientific survey addressed exclusively to Latino/Hispanic respondents, Latino Politics en Ciencia Politica explores political diversity within the Latino community, considering how intra-community differences influence political behavior and policy preferences. The editors and contributors, all noted scholars of race and politics, examine key issues of Latino politics in the contemporary United States: Latino/a identities (latinidad), transnationalism, acculturation, political community, and racial consciousness. The book contextualizes today's research within the history of Latino political studies, from the field's beginnings to the present, explaining how systematic analysis of Latino political behavior has over time become integral to the study of political science. Latino Politics en Ciencia Politica is thus an ideal text for learning both the state of the field today, and key dimensions of Latino political attitudes"--
