Homeless people are subjected to disadvantageous representations in the media, also lacking opportunities for self-representation. This article reports on the findings of two preparatory stages of a project that involves homeless people in the publication of their own newspaper. The findings show that homeless people want to represent themselves through self-created news and to address homelessness as a social issue through people’s life stories, which has the potential to challenge mainstream media practices related to portraying homelessness. At the same time, the analysis reveals several issues that need to be considered while implementing such projects. For example, self-empowerment may sometimes come at the price of disempowerment of others. This emphasizes the importance of carefully structuring the facilitating processes to promote homeless people’s genuine media participation, and to support individual and community empowerment.

The current study attempts to reconstruct the coronation of Joseph I as King of Hungary in Pressburg (Bratislava) on 9th December 1687 on the basis of a context analysis of written and iconographic primary sources. Yet, the author is not merely interested in outlining the political background of the coronation and the description of its progress. Using the methodological concept of symbolic communication he strives to decipher individual symbolic stages and gestures, which the very persons involved in the performance put into action. He does not overlook either the forms of personal representation of Joseph I, his parents – Leopold I and Eleonore Magdalene of Neuburg, the Hungarian Estates and the ways of visualising their social standing.

Problem nieadekwatnych reprezentacji medialnych osób z niepełnosprawnościami zmieniają w ostatnich latach media społecznościowe. Dzięki nim osoby te mają szansę na uzyskanie – przynajmniej częściowej – kontroli nad swoim wizerunkiem w przestrzeni publicznej, a tym samym na wpływanie na zmianę postrzegania przez osoby pełnosprawne. Celem artykułu jest omówienie wniosków z badania na temat wykorzystania mediów społecznościowych do kształtowania swojego wizerunku przez osoby z niepełnosprawnościami oraz wskazanie, czym różni się on od tego obecnego w mediach tradycyjnych. W badaniu zastosowano jakościową analizę zawartości najpopularniejszych profili prowadzonych przez osoby z niepełnosprawnościami w serwisie Instagram, jednocześnie poruszających kwestie związane z tematyką niepełnosprawności. Przeprowadzona analiza pokazuje, że osoby z niepełnosprawnościami prowadzące profile na Instagramie skutecznie i aktywnie kreują swój wizerunek, a obraz, który wyłania się z ich narracji, różni się znacznie od dominujących sposobów przedstawiania osób z niepełnosprawnościami w masowych mediach, tj. „ofiary” i „superkaleki”.

The problem of inadequate media representation of disabled people has been changed in recent years by social media, owing to which disabled people can gain at least partial control over their image in public space and thus influence how non-disabled people see them. The article aims to discuss the results of the research on how disabled people use social media to create their image and how this image is different from the one present in traditional media. The study used a qualitative content analysis of the most popular Instagram profiles created by disabled people and addressing disability-related issues. The analysis shows that disabled Instagram users create their image effectively and actively, and the portrayal that emerges from their narratives differs significantly from the dominant ways of presenting disabled people in the mass media, i.e. as “victims” and “supercrips”.

This paper will discuss aspects concerning authorship, memory, and war representation, as well as trauma and healing. In order to do so, I will explore the writing of war memoirs and/or the re-enactment of war experiences on the stage as two ways of expressing and coping with war trauma. In both cases, the concept of the author, a war veteran as first-person narrator or self-performer, is central to the representation of the traumatic memories of war. It is precisely through this interaction between the author, as a legitimate witness, and source of authentic and reliable information, that the readership/audience connects emotionally with the experience of the combatants and can empathise with their situation. A theoretical conceptualisation of war memoir writing, and testimonial theatre will be illustrated with specific examples of texts connected with the Falklands War (UK-Argentina, 1982). The dominant perspective of the reflection are veterans’ stories.

This study provides an assessment of the opportunities afforded by the wars against the Turks for the nobles in the Czech lands to provide a representation of themselves. The author deals with the issue of the utilization of wartime events with regard to the creation, bolstering and retention of the image of the aristocratic Christian knight based on Baron Melchior von Redern, in an active and passive, intentional and functional, public and private form.

Czesław Miłosz accompanied his poetry with an extensive body of self-reflective writings, developed over many years. It is characterised by, on the one hand, a relative constancy of recurring motifs, and on the other, an equally constant tendency to juxtapose the motifs in variously defined binary systems. The analysis of connections that occur not so much between the elements of specific antinomies, but, on a higher level, between separate antinomies (especially between values ascribed to poles of the oppositions), makes it possible to notice that many of the antinomies cannot be subjected to easy reconciliations, but rather exclude each other. This makes it possible to understand why Miłosz’s thought seems to be systematic. Above all, however, it allows us to look, in a new way, at the feats of Miłosz’s constant struggle against poetic form – immanent contradictions and inconsistencies of Miłosz’s reflection become interesting only when they are referred to the order of creation and its disturbing metamorphoses.
