Researchers have posed questions concerning the dynamics and crisis of European integration since its beginnings. They have proposed and continue to propose new research fields and questions on the theoretical and empirical approaches to the issue of irregularities in the Euro- pean Union, in particular the most recent ones. The author of this paper joins this trend, and takes a standpoint with respect to the (dependent and independent) variables that define the distorted dynamics of EU integration which have been analytically determined. The author intends to expose the distorted dynamics of the EU system and European integration, as well as the crises that accompany them, fuelling numerous academic, political and media debates and polemics. The research agenda of both an epistemological and empirical nature concerns the academic search for an anti-crisis finalité politique. The paper confirms the pluralistic nature of integration ideology, where no single theory or theoretical concept suffices to explain the increasingly complex, multi-directional crisis-related phenomena and interactions following from European integration. Therefore “the Union as described and academically analysed” is not always equivalent to “the Union in action.” That is why we are dealing with the growing detachment of theoretical concepts from the practical activities within the process of European integration. This paper demonstrates that the theoretical attempts at presenting European integration and its crises result in a certain permeation of paradigms between different concepts and in spontaneous promulgation and ‘merging’ of selected elements of theoretical outlooks that were assigned to quite different, or even contradictory theories and concepts.
My dissertation is titled “The image of the European Union as an organization in times of a crisis in the French journals in 2013-2015”. The first chapter is titled “The role of the media in France in creating the national and European identity”. It will characterize the main journals in France (“Le Figaro”, “Le Monde”, “France-Soir”) and their readers. In the second chapter, the content analysis of those journals will be undertaken to show the roles of French media, while the third chapter will present the expected functions of media. In this chapter, I will use the method of in-depth interviews, taking into consideration journalists and politicians representing different political views, social movements, trade unions and citizens. In conclusion, I will analyse the French public opinion’s views, representing various social groups, on specific media messages.
Wybranym przeze mnie tematem rozprawy doktorskiej, z zakresu nauk społecznych, w dyscyplinie nauk o mediach, jest „Wizerunek Unii Europejskiej jako organizacji w czasach kryzysu na łamach ogólnokrajowych dzienników francuskich w latach 2013-2015”. Rozdział pierwszy pracy, zatytułowany: „Media we Francji jako kreator tożsamości narodowej czy europejskiej?”, będzie charakteryzował zarówno opiniotwórcze dzienniki na rynku prasy codziennej we Francji - „Le „Figaro”, „Le Monde”, „France-Soir”, jak również ich czytelników. W rozdziale drugim, wykorzystując analizę zawartości i treści dzienników „Le Figaro”, „Le Monde” oraz „France-Soir”, przedstawię realizowane funkcje mediów francuskich, natomiast rozdział trzeci prezentował będzie oczekiwane funkcje mediów. W rozdziale tym posłużę się metodą indywidualnych wywiadów pogłębionych, biorąc pod uwagę opinie polityków z różnych partii politycznych, różnorodnych, francuskich ruchów społecznych oraz związków zawodowych. W zakończeniu rozprawy zaprezentuję wyniki analizy opinii Francuzów na temat określonych przekazów medialnych, reprezentujących różne grupy społeczne, uzyskane przy wykorzystaniu metody sędziów kompetentnych.
