TECHOLOGICAL PROGRESS AND OBSOLESCENCE
/in Visual Art as a Mass Communication Medium /by Kcs21blAAThe text refers to specific forms of representation of visuality and visual works of art in new social media, or more precisely on Facebook, currently the most popular net of the type. Refering to characteristic examples from the actual media practice, the author demonstrates two types of conditionality connected to “transfer” of visual information from the classic media and institutional environment of museum and gallery exhibitions to the domains of syber space and social net communications.The first conditionality is defined by the technology as such, i.e. the structure and specific forms of communication or the expected users behaviour on the Facebook; the other is marked by digital and multimedia approach to aesthetics and, more often than not, by the aesthetic dilettantism of users’ expression on the net. In this sense, the technology eases and democratizes the aesthetic expression of the Facebook users, but in the same time threats to impoverish the aesthetic dimension of transfer and exchange of visual messages in this media, and reduce it to “obsolescence” of expression, kitsch and trash aesthetics, with final result in general degradation of aesthetic taste visible on the Facebook social network.

QUOTES PHENOMENON AS A SYMPTOM OF THE LACK OF (CRITICAL) REFLECTION ON THE FACEBOOK SOCIAL NETWORK
/in (Lack Of) Culture /by Kcs21blAAThe paper critically reviews current understanding of certain cultural phenomena (quotes), considered in the light of complex global communication and media progress, based on the rapid development of new technologies and social networking and through the use of the Internet and the so-called “social networks” such as Facebook. The focus of research has highlighted the appearance of over-quoting, which has almost overwhelmed all social networks substituting the opinions, ritualizing forms of communication in the virtual space and invoking memories of the old cultural phenomena. In this way, users either simulate the traditional patterns of cultural behavior on the network or they quote/adapt suitable experiences leading to deconstruction of their own identity.

PUBLIC DISCOURSE AND TODAYS JOURNALISM
/in Contemporary Journalism - Trends, Dilemmas and Challenges /by Kcs21blAAHaving a vibrant media scene is a necessary prerequisite of human development and good governance. Media, as main promotors of economic, but also cultural and thereby overall humanistic values, have to involve permanently in the proces of cooperation. How much the contemporary journalism, orientated rather towards the commercialization of life in general, sensationalism and creating wrong criteria of social, accepts or refuses such a role? In media communication, however, the old patterns of misuse of the media and their freedom have not been exterminated. The paper deals with a substantial analysis of moral relativism and media socialization. The solution is not to complain and criticize. We have to admit that the audience of the media users is changing nowadays. The journalism is changing, too. The solution is not to look for the social responsibility of journalism, but of the owners as well. The solution can be found only if they look for it together, following democracracy and the developement of new media profile, wich finds the profit in truth, prosperity and social responsibility.

RHETORIC AND THE SCREEN
/in Screen Culture /by Kcs21blAAУ раду су проблематизовани нови аспекти реторике и екранске културе. Реч је о честој и посебној трговини речима. Духовност и истинска духовитост постају све удаљенији од екрана. Постепено настаје нарочити реторички нарцизам. Гледаоци су збуњени еристичким лукавствима и реторичким маниризмом. Ипак, стварају се и нови облици непосредности којим се условљава појава хибридних жанрова.
