The aim of this paper is to present the main ideas of Mark Poster – an important member of Critical Theory Institute (University of California, Irvine). His theoretical work concerns contemporary French philosophy, Marxism, and media theory. Poster introduces the concept of the “mode of information” as a continuation and development of critical theory. The mode of information is rooted in Foucault’s thought, especially in the very term of discourse. Including analyses of electronical communication, it allows describing social field as a super-panopticon. According to Poster, the mode of information can be an important device to research such problems like family, leisure, work or politics.

This article tries to deliver an interpretation of Platon’s Phaidros text passage in regard of McLuhan’s distinction between ‘cool’ and ‘hot’ media, thus contributing to render more precisely Platon’s theoretical analysis and to explain why Platon’s assumption is regularily quoted but nevertheless had largely no results and effects.

The article focuses on the electromagnetism in the avant-garde practices in visual and sound art. It refers to perspective presented by Douglas Kahn in Sound Earth Signal: Energies and Earth Magnitude in the Arts (2013) proposing to analyse light in terms known from music. Using the notion of lived electromagnetism in the article I analyse electronic music perfor-mance Double Vision. The project emerged from Robin Fox’s and Uwe Schmidt’s co-operation aims to create experience of pop concert, that becomes a subject of audio-visual deconstruc-tion.

This article aims to present key factors that can substantially influence the development of the post-truth phenomenon in politics. The work illustrates a number of reasons for the falling importance of truth and facts in politics in contemporary times. Moreover, this text shines a spotlight on the significant role of social media websites in terms of political events in the post-truth era. The analysis outlines various factors that have considerably contributed to the growth of the post-truth phenomenon in politics in the 21st century. The article addresses issues strongly related to the media theory and political communication. It should be noted that post-truth continues to be a burning and dangerous problem, which can shape the media landscape and affect the political realities around the world.

Philosophy and Mediation. A Manifesto

The current condition of philosophy as a discipline is quite problematic, in particular if we consider its relationship to other human sciences and to other disciplines in general. The philosophical debate appears fragmented, and philosophy itself has lost any specific role in the present scientific landscape. This situation determines a sort of “identity crisis”, whose main consequence is the coexistence of antinomical views about philosophy in the contemporary scientific and public discourse. Starting from this context, the paper aims at providing a description of philosophy as “theory of mediation”. This description does not want to be ‘original’, but rather tries to emphasize an element that is always been rooted in the very essence of philosophy, but that has also often been neglected. Philosophy has always pointed out the necessity to think the in-between of things, their relation and the passage from one to another, rather than just offering a taxonomy or a factual description of the world. In order to prove this point, the paper offers an analysis of some classical texts, in particular of some fragments by Heraclitus and of a passage taken from Hegel’s early writings. A view that rethinks philosophy as “mediology” allows a rehabilitation of philosophy as a specific discipline and as a systematic enterprise, at the same time providing a new framework for the understanding of the relationship between philosophy and other sciences.

Kowalczyk Marcin, Człowiek kultury druku w świecie przyszłości – kino science fiction wobec teorii środków przekazu Marshalla McLuhana [Man of Print Culture in the Future World – Science Fiction Cinema and Marshall McLuhan’s Media Theory]. „Przestrzenie Teorii” 32. Poznań 2019, Adam Mickiewicz University Press, pp. 239–255. ISSN 1644-6763. DOI 10.14746/pt.2019.32.12. This article shows the way of presenting the characters who represent print culture in science fiction cinema. All the printed artifacts, like literature, books and letters, are defined according to Marshall McLuhan’s media theory. The analysis is based mostly on the movie Her (dir. Spike Jonze, 2013) and discusses how SF movies adapt and transform the twentieth-century predictions concerning print as a medium. This approach allows us to avoid a simple interpretation of the problem, where books or print become merely a sign of civilization that has passed. Furthermore, McLuhan’s theory helps effectively reveal the complex motivations of the characters who are shaped by a specific medium.

Throughout the history of the field of media and mass communication theory and research, claims have been made that ‘mass’ media and ‘mass’ communication are concepts that do not fit the contemporary media environment (anymore). However, contemporary developments and debates regarding the role of media and communication in the context of a global pandemic clearly suggest otherwise. In this article, the field of study regarding media and mass communication is reviewed based on the (7) fundamental theories explaining the role of media in society, as these have emerged out of a century of scholarship in media studies and communication science. The study aims to show how each of these theories can be considered to be ‘at work’ in current debates and concerns about the role of media and communication in the global coronavirus pandemic/infodemic.

This study deals with the concept of media in the work of British literary and cultural theorist Raymond Williams. It is based on the observation that the concept of media never predominated in Williams's work, but that together with such associated concepts as communication, transmission and process this concept is constantly present within it, offering the option of interpretations different to those presented by Williams himself. The first part briefly presents the media aspects of Williams's books Culture and Society, 1780–1950 (1958), The Long Revolution (1961) and Communications (1962): the key term in these works is communication, with literature and art as specific cases. Williams believes that communication needs to be understood in a broad sense as a creation of societies and communities, and that it cannot be reduced to the technical aspect of the communication mechanisms. Media are conceived here as the established means of communication that have emerged historically, and the conception is highlighted whereby they are of key importance for an understanding of culture as currently lived, as a "solution" in contrast to a "precipitate". The second phase of Williams's thinking on media is characterized by an explicit focus on this term and the comprehensive examination of specific "new" media, particularly in the book Television: Technology and Cultural Form (1974). At the same time, however, Williams comes to terms with the most influential media theory of that period, expounded by Marshall McLuhan. Williams rejects McLuhan's notion that considers "technological determinism" to be of central importance, though he subsequently does identify "medium" with the narrowly conceived technological aspect, while making particular use of the term "means of communication", which he separates into amplificatory, durative and alternative means. On the basis of a more detailed argument, the third section of the study proposes a reading which, in spite of Williams's explicit rejection of the term "medium", understands that his thinking continues to be highly "medial". It is from this standpoint that Williams's two most important theoretical books Marxism and Literature (1977) and Culture (1981) are interpreted. Particularly thought-provoking is Williams's understanding of culture as a "solution", whereas the media can actually be considered to be the means of "dissolution", facilitating the fusion of "signifying systems" and of various (artistic and non-artistic) areas of human activity and experience. In his book Marxism and Literature this view can also apply to Williams's understanding of literature. Hence this study provides a deeper insight into media issues in Williams's work and shows that they form the inspirational axis for Williams's thinking on literature and culture.

Studie se zabývá pojetím média v díle britského literárního a kulturního teoretika Raymonda Williamse. Vychází z pozorování, že pojem médium se sice ve Williamsově myšlení nikdy nestal dominantním, ale je v něm – spolu s příbuznými pojmy jako komunikace, přenos, proces ad. – trvale přítomný a nabízí i možnost odlišných interpretací, než které předkládá sám Williams. V první části jsou stručně představeny mediální aspekty Williamsových knih Culture and Society, 1780–1950 (1958), The Long Revolution (1961) a Communications (1962): klíčovým konceptem v nich je komunikace, jejímiž specifickými případy jsou i literatura a umění. Komunikaci je podle Williamse třeba chápat v širokém smyslu jakožto tvorbu společnosti a komunit a není možné ji redukovat na technickou stránku komunikačních aparátů. Média jsou zde pojata jako historicky vzniklé ustálené komunikační prostředky a naznačeno je už i pojetí, podle nějž jsou klíčová pro chápání kultury jakožto aktuálně žité, jako „roztoku“ (solution) oproti „usazenině“ (precipitate). Pro druhou fázi Williamsova myšlení o médiu je příznačné explicitní soustředění na tento pojem a komplexní zkoumání konkrétních „nových“ médií, zejm. v knize Television: Technology and Cultural Form (1974). Současně se ovšem Williams vyrovnává s dobově nejvlivnější teorií médií Marshalla McLuhana a jeho pojetí, které považuje za ústřední případ „technologického determinismu“, odmítá. Od tohoto momentu tak bude médium ztotožňovat právě s úzce chápaným technologickým aspektem, a namísto něj bude užívat zejm. pojem „komunikační prostředky“ (means of communication), které dělí na prostředky amplifikační, durativní a alternativní (amplificatory, durative and alternative). Ve třetí části studie je na základě podrobnější argumentace navrženo čtení, které navzdory Williamsovu explicitnímu odmítnutí pojmu média chápe jeho myšlení i nadále jako výsostně mediální. Touto optikou jsou pak interpretovány dvě nejvýznamnější Williamsovy teoretické knihy, Marxism and Literature (1977) a Culture (1981). Jako podnětné se jeví zejména dále rozvíjené Williamsovo chápání kultury jakožto „roztoku“, přičemž právě média lze považovat za prostředky „rozpouštění“ (dissolution), umožňující prolnutí jednotlivých „signifikačních systémů“ (signifying systems), resp. různých (uměleckých i mimouměleckých) oblastí lidské činnosti a zkušenosti. Tento pohled lze vztáhnout také na Williamsovo chápání literatury v knize Marxism and Literature. Studie tak poskytuje hlubší vhled do problematiky média ve Williamsově díle a ukazuje, že tvoří inspirativní osu Williamsova uvažování o literatuře a kultuře.

O mowie, piśmie i innych mediach: peregrynacje po genealogii pojęć z Peterem Sloterdijkiem

Celem artykułu jest próba przedstawienia krótkiej genealogicznej historii medium mowy i pis­ma, która wykorzystuje, rozwija i rekonstruuje zarazem, poglądy i punkt widzenia Sloterdijka na ten temat. Przedmiotem analiz jest formacja dyskursywna o mowie i piśmie ukształtowana w kulturze zachodniej, składająca się z argumentacji i wyobrażeń zawartych w Biblii, tekstach filozoficznych, głównie Platona i Hegla, i literackich, tu tylko sygnalnie odnotowanych. Chodzi wreszcie także o historię społeczną, spojrzenie na rewolucje i kolonializm przez pryzmat medium druku/pisma — opartych na nim relacji władzy i panowania. Dla Sloterdijka wszystkie te zdarze­nia dyskursywne i społeczne mają wspólne podłoże resentymentalne — zakłada on bowiem za Nietzschem, że u źródeł kultury czai się okrucieństwo i perwersja. Pytanie: po co to robi, co nowego ta zużyta historycznie rama interpretacyjne pozwala mu powiedzieć o mediach dawniej i dziś?

This article concerns the short genealogical history of speech and writing media, which simultaneously takes an advantage of, develops as well as reconstructs, the appropriate points of view and attitudes by Peter Sloterdijk. The object of analysis is a discursive formation on speech and writing shaped in western culture, a formation consisting of arguments and imaginations contained in the Bible, philosophical writings, by Plato and Hegel mainly, and literature, indicat­ed here only very slightly. Social history is eventually discused here, that is the view of revolutions and colonialism through the prism of print/writing medium — through the relationships of power and domination based on this medium. All the discursive and social events have their common resentment background according to Sloterdijk — following Nietzsche he assumes that there are cruelty and perversion that lurk at the roots of culture. The question is: why does he do that, what new does the historically worn-out interpretational frame let him tell about the media in the past and today?
