Znajdą w nim Państwo efekty różnorodnych prac badawczych, które obejmują spektrum od styku medioznawstwa i kulturo- znawstwa, po komunikacyjnie zorientowane studia językoznawcze. Środo- wisko nasze skupia specjalistów z różnych dziedzin, prezentowane pismo odzwierciedla tę różnorodność, zaś konkretne prace mają niejednokrotnie charakter komparatystyczny. Zawsze jednak wiążą się z obecnością me- diów we współczesnym świecie oraz z rozmaitymi uwarunkowaniami zwią- zanymi z ich funkcjonowaniem, jak również z powiązanymi z problematyką medialną zagadnieniami międzyludzkiej i społecznej komunikacji. W I części bieżącego numeru „Mediów” („Media w kulturze”) znaj- dą Państwo teksty prezentujące kulturotwórczą rolę mediów od najstar- szych (jak prasa czy kino), po najnowsze, jak Internet. Bara Ndiaye w kla- sycznym tekście prasoznawczym opisuje historię francuskiego dziennika „Le Monde”, zarówno dokumentując jego dzieje, jak i dociekając przyczyn jego silnej pozycji rynkowej oraz opiniotwórczej. Lech Krajewski analizuje ścieżki dźwiękowe filmów animowanych, traktując je jako swoisty doku- ment kulturowy, odzwierciedlający językowe zachowania dzieci i młodzie- ży. Szczegółowa analiza językowa pozwala dostrzec nie tylko ekspansję wulgaryzmów, ale przede wszystkim prowadzi do stwierdzenia, że „Filmy animowane utrwalają kulturę bądź subkultury młodzieżowe, jednocześnie kształtują językowy sposób bycia ludzi młodych, bardzo podatnych na ma- nipulacje i wpływy wirtualnej rzeczywistości filmu” (s. 56). Lech Krajewski dostrzega w tym niebezpieczeństwo utrwalania werbalnych i niewerbal- nych zachowań agresywnych. Jolanta Piwowar, podobnie jak Krajewski, traktuje przekazy audiowizualne „jako nośniki tekstów kultury” (s. 58). Z tej perspektywy charakteryzuje wypowiedzi jednej z bohaterek serialu te- lewizyjnego BrzydUla – Violetty Kubasińskiej. Autorka dekomponuje środki lingwistyczne, wskazując w ten sposób na źródła komizmu językowego. Jednocześnie dynamiczne podejście bohaterki serialu do zasobów mowy staje się dla Jolanty Piwowar okazją do zaprezentowania cech języka mło- dzieżowego, który jest „potoczny, dynamiczny, szybko poddaje się zmia- nom i rozmaitym aktualizacjom, a przede wszystkim nawiązuje do spraw, które dotyczą ludzi młodych i są częścią ich świata” (s. 63). O jednym z kulturowych aspektów obecności nowych mediów w życiu codziennym pi- sze Szymon Żyliński, analizując działanie portalu Couchsurfing. Nawiązy- wanie międzynarodowych znajomości przez Internet, po to, by wyruszając w podróż, zatrzymać się u internetowych znajomych i dzięki temu od środ- ka poznawać nieznane kraje, Szymon Żyliński opisuje jako współczesną 6 Mariola Marczak, Miłosz Babecki formę turyzmu, nawiązującą do średniowiecznych tradycji. Wtedy również podróże pełniły funkcje poznawcze oraz integracyjne wobec odległych kul- tur. Służyły nawiązywaniu kontaktów, poznawaniu, a w dalszej konse- kwencji oswajaniu nieznanego, stając się zaczątkiem akulturacji. Część II prezentowanego Czytelnikom tomu została ukształtowana przez autorów, których teksty funkcjonują w środowisku determinowanym przez specyficzny dyskurs metakulturowy. Specyficzny, gdyż konkurują w nim różne wizje systemu kultury masowej, ustępujące stopniowo tej odmianie, którą Greg Urban określił mianem metakultury nowości1, a Wojciech Józef Burszta dookreślił, posługując się pojęciem metakultury symultaniczno- ści2. Z lektury zaproponowanych opracowań wyłania się wyjątkowy obraz otaczającej nas rzeczywistości. Bez względu na to, czy będziemy odnosić się do pierwszego, czy do drugiego stanowiska, nie możemy pomijać faktu, że konstytutywną ich właściwością jest postępująca dyspersyjność. Przejawia

Pinning the Daffodil and Singing Proudly: An American's Search for Modern Meaning in Ancestral Ties Abstract This paper is a collection of my personal experiences with the Welsh culture, both as a celebration of heritage in America and as a way of life in Wales. Using my family’s ancestral link to Wales as a narrative base, I trace the connections between Wales and America over the past century and look closely at how those ties have changed over time. The piece focuses on five location-based experiences—two in America and three in Wales—that each changed the way I interpret Welsh culture as a fifth-generation Welsh-American.

    REPRESSION AND VIOLENCE IN KOSOVO AND KOSOVO: THE HUMANITARIAN PERSPECTIVE TWO HEARINGS BEFORE THE COMMISSION ON SECURITY AND COOPERATION IN EUROPE ONE HUNDRED FIFTH CONGRESS SECOND SESSION MARCH 18, 1998 AND JUNE 25, 1998 Printed for the use of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe [CSCE 105-2-1 AND 106-2-2] Available via the World Wide Web: http://www.csce.gov REPRESSION AND VIOLENCE IN KOSOVO WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1998 COMMISSION ON SECURITY AND COOPERATION IN EUROPE WASHINGTON, DC. The Commission met, in Room 430, the Dirksen Senate Office Build- ing, Washington, DC., at 10:08 a.m., Hon. Alfonse D'Amato, Chair- man, presiding. Commissioners present: Hon. Christopher H. Smith; Hon. Benjamin Cardin; and Hon. Steny H. Hoyer. OPENING STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN ALPHONSE D'AMATO Chairman D'Amato. Today's hearing of the Commission on Secu- rity and Cooperation in Europe is called to examine the current, criti- cal situation in Kosovo. In recent days, continuing Serbian repres- sion of the Kosovar Albanian Majority Population has triggered an escalating spiral of violence that demands U.S. leadership now to stop another outbreak of ethnic cleansing and to achieve a peaceful reso- lution to the crisis.
