Abstract
Abstract The article addresses the issue of intracultural dialogue between two strong political mindsets, liberal and conservative. This polarization is typical of contemporary cultural divides and emerges in the public sphere through mass media, often finding its outlet through humour, which may be treated as a mediating factor. It will be discussed on the example of a popular Polish humorous talk show broadcast on the public TV channel as compared to one broadcast on commercial television. The central finding of the study, seemingly replicable for other languages and television cultures, is the discovery of the central item on the discursive agenda, i.e., a worldview hiding in the conservative epistemic stance that assumes the authority of the journalists running the show.
期刊介绍:
In our post-Cartesian times human abilities are regarded as integrated and interacting abilities. Speaking, thinking, perceiving, having emotions need to be studied in interaction. Integration and interaction take place in dialogue. Scholars are called upon to go beyond reductive methods of abstraction and division and to take up the challenge of coming to terms with the complex whole. The conclusions drawn from reasoning about human behaviour in the humanities and social sciences have finally been proven by experiments in the natural sciences, especially neurology and sociobiology. What happens in the black box, can now, at least in part, be made visible. The journal intends to be an explicitly interdisciplinary journal reaching out to any discipline dealing with human abilities on the basis of consilience or the unity of knowledge. It is the challenge of post-Cartesian science to tackle the issue of how body, mind and language are interconnected and dialogically put to action. The journal invites papers which deal with ‘language and dialogue’ as an integrated whole in different languages and cultures and in different areas: everyday, institutional and literary, in theory and in practice, in business, in court, in the media, in politics and academia. In particular the humanities and social sciences are addressed: linguistics, literary studies, pragmatics, dialogue analysis, communication and cultural studies, applied linguistics, business studies, media studies, studies of language and the law, philosophy, psychology, cognitive sciences, sociology, anthropology and others. The journal Language and Dialogue is a peer reviewed journal and associated with the book series Dialogue Studies, edited by Edda Weigand.
