Gianni Vattimo
Společenské vědy a komunikační společnost
5-16

Abstract

In “Human Sciences and Society of Communication” (a chapter taken from The Transparent Society) Gianni Vattimo argues that our contemporary condition is linked to the evolution of mass media and the diffusion of communication systems. He analyzes the role social sciences play in the “society of generalized communication” and concludes that both of these phenomena are fundamentally interrelated: social sciences are both the product and the producer of the modern public sphere. According to him, the intensification of communication and the still more elaborate research methods will not, however, produce a more enlightened, self-conscious, or “transparent” society.


Armand a Michèle Mattelart
Komunikace na křižovatce vědeckých diskursů
17-54

Abstract

The following is a translation of a chapter on “Varieties of Learned Discourse“ from Armand and Michèle Mattelart’s Rethinking Media Theory. They speak about the difficulty of reflecting on communication, describe the quest for transdisciplinarity in media theory, and its metaphoric temptations. The overview of the last twenty years of media theory’s methodology puts emphasis on the situation in France.


Henry Jenkins
Teoretické dílo ve věku digitální transformace
55-92

Abstract

In „The Work of Theory in the Age of Digital Transformation” Henry Jenkins offers an overview and critique of developments in digital theory suggesting the ways it resembles or differs from earlier forms of media theory. Specifically, he describes four important dimensions of the emerging digital theory – the shifting relationship between academic and vernacular theories of digital change, the concept of critical utopianism as a way of using future prediction to critique present conditions, and the use of digital media to revitalize the study of previous media and to examine points of intersection between media.



Jiří Bystřický
Média a kodifikace
93-116

Abstract

The conceptual framework of the following article is provided by Vilém Flusser’s concept of “codification;” his differentiation between the different historical ways people codified reality (traditional images, texts, technical images). It is the shift from linear texts to technical images that concerns the author here most; he confronts Flusser’s understanding of it with the concepts of other postmodern thinkers. The author also emphasizes the fact that our new ways of codifying the surrounding world bring a challenge to the social sciences: these have to transform their modes of description and explanation according to the new symbolic systems.
