Media and the Sacralization of Leaders and Events
This study aims to demonstrate that media can achieve a religious construction of an event or issue and set the public sphere in a religious frame through the sacralization of events and persons. This perspective can be supported empirically by the studies showing the way in which mass media framed different events in a religious imaginary and language and proposed this image as a frame for public sphere debates and theoretically by the concepts …
Religious Experience
Media anthropology for the digital age
Will Robots Take Your Job? is very well researched, yet short and succinct. It presents a wide range of arguments and provides a grand view of problems of technological unemployment. I strongly recommend the book to anyone who wants to learn more about the topic quickly, and to read about the main theories in the field without looking at (too many) primary sources. When it comes to solutions, however, Cameron is much more cautious. While some peo…
Myth
Myth is an “exotic” presence in media and communication studies. The belief that online, modern societies hold nonmodern aspects and interpret the world through myths has led to studies devoted to its presence. Moreover, such studies have mainly justified themselves by identifying some cultural mediating forms that would explain the “un‐normality” of the presence of myth in modernity. These mythical constructs have been identified in popular cult…
Structuralism
Structuralism is a paradigm (although many of its exponents have declared that it is just a research method) that argues that the objective of scientific investigation is to identify the abstract structures that determine any social and cultural manifestation of the human being. Structuralists stress: (1) that in any system the units have no value and sense through substantial attributes, but through positional attributes; in other words relation…
Commentary Three Accounts of the Founding Heroes of Communication Research
Michael Jackson's 1992 concert in Bucharest
This study is based on the conceptual framework created by Dayan and Katz (1992 Dayan, D. and Katz, E. 1992. Media events, Cambridge: Harvard University Press. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) focusing on what they called media events, and it proposes a step forward by applying an anthropological framework to such media phenomena. My analysis is focused on the symbolic mechanism through which the Romanian media produced a media event out of an ‘ord…
Journalistic Elites in Post-Communist Romania
In the 20 years since the fall of communism, the professional field of journalism has been increasingly carved up by press barons, on the one hand, and the majority of ordinary journalists, on the other. The euphoric attitude and the solidarity that marked the very beginnings of a free press slowly faded away. They were replaced by the fight to achieve and maintain control over the resources offered by mass media: economic status, political power…
Mapping Journalism Cultures Across Nations
This article reports key findings from a comparative survey of the role perceptions, epistemological orientations and ethical views of 1800 journalists from 18 countries. The results show that detachment, non-involvement, providing political information and monitoring the government are considered essential journalistic functions around the globe. Impartiality, the reliability and factualness of information, as well as adherence to universal ethi…
Modeling Perceived Influences on Journalism
Surveying 1,700 journalists from seventeen countries, this study investigates perceived influences on news work. Analysis reveals a dimensional structure of six distinct domains—political, economic, organizational, professional, and procedural influences, as well as reference groups. Across countries, these six dimensions build up a hierarchical structure where organizational, professional, and procedural influences are perceived as more powerful…
News Stories and Myth—The Impossible Reunion?
Cultural Anthropology and Mass Media
The Promise of Media Anthropology
Media anthropology grows out of the anthropology of modern societies, on one hand, and the cultural turn in media studies, on the other. It turns its attention from “exotic” to mundane and from “indigenous” to manufactured culture but preserves the methodological and conceptual assets of earlier anthropological tradition. It prepares media studies for more complete engagement with the symbolic construction of reality and the fundamental importanc…
Media Anthropology
Media bourgeoisie and media proletariat in post‐communist Romania
The fall of communism and the appearance of a free press have led to the birth of a new professional body of journalists in Romania. This situation offers a unique laboratory in which researchers can study a living, growing organism, the way a profession creates its legitimizing ideology, internal systems to control the professional body, and new power relations. On the basis of data derived from a shortened version of the Weaver–Wilhoit question…
Developments in Journalism Theory About Media "Transition" in Central and Eastern Europe 1990-99
This article explores developments in theorizing about media transition in Central and Eastern Europe between 1990 and 1999. Although the systematic findings of scholarly research are limited, the discussion below provides an overview of existing analyses and critiques of developments in journalism and media in their legal, economic, political and professional settings in post-communist countries. It is argued that the study of media transitions …
L'événement rituel
Adeptes de la « théorie du miroir », bien de journalistes sont persuadés que ni leur présence, ni la médiation qui s'en suit ne changent en quoi que ce soit les faits et le déroulement des événements. Partant des théories de la «construction sociale de la réalité », nous sommes convaincus, au contraire, que les événements sont le produit du discours journalistique qui découpe la réalité, l'ordonne et lui attribue une signification (souvent symbol…

La victime et le vainqueur - La construction mythologique de la visite du roi Mihai en Roumanie dans le discours de la presse nationale
Faisant partie de l'ensemble des discours que notre culture engendre, le discours des médias ne doit pas être soumis à un traitement spécial - en dépit de la prétention des journalistes concernant le caractère à part de leur travail. Un regard « éloigné », c'est à dire anthropologique nous montre que la construction discoursive des journalistes subit les mêmes contraintes que celle des bricoleurs des mythes - elle essai de définir la réalité à l'…
The 1992 presidential/parliamentary elections in Romania's largest circulation dailies and weeklies
The article examines press coverage of the 1992 presidential and parliamentary elections in Romania, the second free national elections after the December 1989 revolution that toppled the Ceausescu dictatorship. Coverage was quantitatively tilted toward three of the nine political parties that won seats in Romania's parliament. The journalistic discourse found in the news and feature stories lacked journalistic detachment and neutrality, emphasiz…
Naissance d'un contre-mythe. Les mythologies du discours médiatique. La Roumanie, décembre 1989, dans la presse française
La surchauffe médiatique qui s'est produite il y a trois ans et demie à l'occasion de la chute du communisme en Roumanie est restée comme symptime d'un dérapage et comme signe des limites du direct. Les articles de presse, bénéficiant du léger recul sur l'événement par rapport aux médias audiovisuels servent ici de réfèrent à une analyse anthropologique des phénomènes de cognition et de sacralisation médiatique de la réalité
