Todo genuino movimiento literario, todo amanecer, toda ruptura, ha tenido indefectiblemente su primera exteriorización en las hojas provocativas de una revista. La revista descubre, polemiza; el escritor de revistas anticipa, es el guerrillero madrugado, el pionero que zampa terrenos intactos. La revista es vitrina y es cartel. El libro ya es en cierto modo un ataúd, quizás más duradero y más perfecto, pero menos jugoso y vital.
Master's thesis in Sociology and social work (ME522) ; This thesis focuses on climate communication and analyses Greta Thunberg's speeches on climate change. The research concludes that it is the combination of the frames she uses, her rhetorical appeals and who she is that plays a key role in understanding her remarkable success of mobilizing people across the globe. The research identifies five discursive frames. These are the 'moral prophet frame', 'generational justice frame', 'power shift frame'. 'empty rhetoric frame' and 'scientific frame'. These frames indicate which imaginaries she believes in and appeals to. Climate imaginaries are common understandings, aprioritization of cultural and environmental values and implies a mode of organizing production and consumption. She criticizes the 'fossil fuels forever'-imaginary and the 'techno-market'-imaginary. She presents believes in line with the 'climate apocalypse'-imaginary and is mostly in line with the 'sustainable lifestyle'-imaginary by wanting a system change from capitalism and consumerism to a greener economic order which focuses on equity and sustainability. This is especially evident in the moral prophet frame, generational justice frame and the power shift frame. Who she is and her popularity can be connected to the ideal type of a charismatic leader and rhetorical appeals. Even though the climate science is clear, many want to avoid the topic of climate change. Mental barriers to avoid acknowledging and doubting climate change are presented and connected to the frames and imaginaries. Thunberg does not tackle many of these barriers and goes against many recommendations on how to frame climate change. Greta Thunberg has shown that you are never too small to make a difference and has gained political power both by what she says and the movement Fridays For Future. This research can contribute with knowledge on Thunberg specifically, and climate communication in general. Keywords: Greta Thunberg, climate change, school strike, climate frames, imaginaries, charismatic leadership, rhetorical appeals, environmental sociology

This study aims to describe the sexual politics in fiksimini by using feminist critical discourse analysis. This research is a qualitative descriptive study that uses @fiksimini account during January-February 2020 on Twitter as the data source. The research data used is sexual politics discourse contained in literary worksfiksimini which has a total of 267 data with 44 topicsfiksimini. Data collection techniques are conducted by reading and recorded in the data cards. The data collection instrument was the researcher himself (human instrument) using Kate Millett's sexual politics parameters. Data analysis technique in this study used semantic and pragmatic equivalents in analyzing work fiksimini containing sexual politics in fiksimini. The data analysis stage is carried out by the work step of literature research, namely studying libraries related to research objects by reading, taking notes, and interpreting references related to research objects. The results showed that there are six forms of sexual politics contained in fiksimini, namely: sexual slavery, women's domestic work, control of women, abuse of sexuality, rape, projecting women and negotiations conducted by female characters in the story. Sexual politics contained in fiksimini is 80% written by male writers who recount the power of patriarchy. The ideology seen from writing about sexual politics shows that writers use male and female characters emerging from social classes, institutions of marriage, and free sex. The female characters narrated by the fiksimini writers still place women as inferior beings who are in the power of superior patriarchy.

Na przełomie XX i XXI wieku za dominujące podejście w badaniach tożsamości narodowej można uznać krytyczną analizę dyskursu (critical discourse analysis - CDA), zakładającą, że naród jest wyobrażalnym społeczeństwem utrzymywanym w sposób dyskursywny. Trzeba ponadto dodać, iż CDA łamie dotychczasowe wyobrażenie o dychotomii między narodami politycznymi a kulturalnymi, ponieważ uważa, że jest ona konstruktem zbudowanym przez rywalizujące partie narodowe. Jeżeli większość badaczy wykorzystujących CDA ogranicza swoje podejścia do nowoczesnego kontekstu XX wieku, należy postawić pytanie, czy i w jakim stopniu można stosować owe metody w badaniach przednowoczesnych tożsamości narodowych. Wyjaśnienie tej kwestii należy uznać za główny cel niniejszej pracy. Jako odpowiedni przykład wybrano polski naród szlachecki, gdyż jego elity zmuszone były do refleksji nie tylko nad utratą własnej państwowości i z nią związanej kwestii przyszłego rozwoju, lecz także nad przyczynami własnego niepowodzenia. Analiza starć pomiędzy konserwatywnymi interpretacjami narodu w XIX wieku powinna bowiem rozstrzygnąć, kto był przez ich pryzmat uważany za Polaka oraz w jakim stopniu owa tożsamość narodowa wywodziła się ze wzorców ideologicznych i dyskursywnych. ; Critical discourse analysis (CDA) can be considered the contemporary, dominant approach to the study of national identity, which presupposes that a nation is an imagined community which is produced and reproduced discursively. Moreover, CDA denies the traditional dichotomy between political and cultural nations, which is viewed solely as a purpose-built consequence of power. With regard to the fact that most researchers who use CDA limit their approaches to the modern context of the 20th century, it is desirable to ask to what extent one can apply methods of CDA to pre-modern national identities. The clarification of this issue should be deemed the main aim of this study, which holds that the Polish aristocratic nation is a convenient case for this kind of research, because its elites had to reflect not only the loss of statehood, and thus the programme of future desired development, but also the causes of previous failure. The analysis of the conflicts between conservative national attitudes during the 19th century should therefore define who was considered a Pole and to what extent national identity was based on ideological and discursive assumptions.

The present paper is intended to develop a theory on the aspects that should be considered while meaning is made and conveyed, in the context of multimodal communication, emphasizing the way in which the discourse constructs and deconstructs versions of the social world. The term theory refers to a set of insights, a collection of categories, intended to provide a conceptual understanding of the self and the world, as well as a rational support for such understanding. The paper is therefore an inductive approach, specific to qualitative research. Considering that inductive reasoning entails the derivation of a general principle, a new insight or a theory from a body of systematically collected knowledge, the grounded theory is employed as the research method.
