Online users can also act as petitioners, appealing to the authorities, other citizens, opinion leaders, experts, etc. Government representatives are interpreters and administrators of political decisions. Digital communication gives them an opportunity to demonstrate their social positions, citizenship, solidarity, and attitudes. And this is where the following contradiction arrives. On the one hand, the authorities need to mobilize real and virtual communication. On the other hand, they perceive mobilized population as a threat: to be controlled, organized social communities require resources, as well as complex and expensive measures. The authors reviewed publications that featured socio-political interaction. The review revealed that the mobilization of civic participation remains understudied. Digitalization increases the importance and relevance of network practices of social activism. Traditional forms of interaction between community members and authorities are gradually being replaced by networked, flexible, and participatory ones. Constructive and destructive forms of mobilization transform socio-political relations. The review provided a diversification of constructive and destructive practices of public participation in decision-making at federal, regional, local, and company levels. Digital forms and methods of socio-political interaction increase in number, and theri measurement indicators keep changing.","PeriodicalId":359429,"journal":{"name":"Virtual Communication and Social Networks","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129664377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its impressive practical significance, the sentiment analysis still lacks reliable theoretical foundation. Although information technologies develop very fast, their fundamental foundations correlate with the linguistic system of knowledge. In fact, the methodological priority of the applied linguistics has no alternative with regard to the interdisciplinary specificity of the modern communication. The complex nature of this research made the authors appeal to the computer linguistics in order to provide a meta-description on the algorithmization and modeling of sentiment evaluation. The effectiveness of the relevant practice was conditioned by the optimal configuration of the procedure and an appropriate material evaluation. The preprocessing included identifying the meta-structure, defining its referentiality and level orientation, and choosing the analysis model. The authors described these main steps of the preprocessing algorithm, as well as the relevant practice. The study contributes to productive theoretical optimization of text sentiment analysis. In a broad context, the expedient disclosure of linguistic potential is relevant to the whole sphere of automated natural language processing.","PeriodicalId":359429,"journal":{"name":"Virtual Communication and Social Networks","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129496601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Digital technologies have a great impact on their reading habits. The research featured the phenomenon of neterature, or network literature, and the role of Chinese centennials in it. The authors defined the concept of generation Z and compared traditional literature with online literature. They used such sites as Yi En Consulting and Qidian to give a brief history of Chinese neterature, which they divided into three main periods. Centennials rely on random choice and prefer contemporary literature, mainly fantasy, chronofantasy, and romance. Centennial online authors and readers are of approximately the same age and share the same values, upbringing, literary preferences, and interests, which makes it easier for the writers to meet the market needs. Online literature is not an alternative to traditional literature, but rather its next evolution stage. Currently, it is the most dynamic part of literature, and its influence on the young generation can hardly be overestimated.","PeriodicalId":359429,"journal":{"name":"Virtual Communication and Social Networks","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116609311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cinematography triggers virtual communication between film viewers of all ages. This phenomenon finds expression in the distribution and transformation of information in social networks. This research featured the film Cheburashka (2023) and its virtual environment as a critical success factor. The authors used the information-communication method in its rhizome paradigm to study the virtual communication created by cinematographic means. In Postmodernism, the rhizome is a network of film episodes, quotes, and allusions. This network of interconnected references forms the virtual reality of the film. The empirical study involved a content analysis of internet comments and reviews made by middle age adults (45+) and a qualitative focus group study of young people aged 18–24. Different generations perceived the film differently. The so-called digital generation could perceive the virtual reality of the film, while the senior generation saw the movie as nothing but a full-length version of the animated film of their childhood. The middle age adults were responsible for more than a third of all the critical comments. The appeal to nostalgia failed as a cinematographic device while the ability to perceive the virtual reality turned out to be an important factor of virtual communication with the mass viewer. The research results develop the theory target audience.","PeriodicalId":359429,"journal":{"name":"Virtual Communication and Social Networks","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115570176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The medialinguistic method made it possible to reveal the peculiarities of interaction between verbal and non-verbal sequences while the pragmalinguistic analysis helped to establish the communicative intention of the media text. The messages were multimodal and combined different types of information. The greatest pragmatic impact belonged to the publications that combined visual, textual, and auditory information.

The research also covered the manifestations of triadic network thinking in the Western philosophy of the XX century, including the Russian philosophy of the new and modern history. It featured the Taoist and Confucian categories of trace, void, and dynamic stability, which were rediscovered by Postmodernism.
