Reading figurative images in the political discourse of the British Press
2017
The present work aims to study visual metaphors and multimodal metaphors in the political cartoons published in the British press during the Brexit campaign. The theoretical approach adopted draws upon the theories elaborated by Halliday (), Forceville (; ), Ruiz de Mendoza and Diez (), and Hart (), with the objective of identifying the three analytical steps that lead to the conceptual frames structuring the political event under investigation. Results show the extent to which the visual representation of the Brexit campaign proposes novel and original perspectives of interpretation, and further evidence of the relevance of metaphors and metonymies in the narration of e…
Brexit : Public Relations Campaign with Integrated Social Media Changed Political World
2023
Both the 2016 US election of President Trump and the outcome of the 2016 United Kingdom European Union Membership Referendum, in favour of the Vote Leave campaign, are frequently given as examples to illustrate the power of micro-targeting in PR campaigns. Harvesting data to profile audiences has made it possible to identify people who are likely to be especially receptive to particular ways of framing issues. It is allowing political campaigns with sufficient funding to buy access to many discrete audiences through Social Media (SM), and it is making it possible to develop psychological profiles to send tailored messages, designed as powerful triggers, to people who are judged to be potent…
Lielbritānijas un Eiropas Savienības savstarpēji atkarīgo attiecību pārvaldīšana Brexit kontekstā
2022
Darba tēma ir Lielbritānijas un Eiropas Savienības savstarpēji atkarīgo attiecību pārvaldīšana Brexit kontekstā, jo Lielbritānija pirmo reizi ES vēsturē izstājas no tās. Tāpēc pētījuma mērķis ir, pamatojoties uz savstarpējās atkarības un globalizācijas teorētiskajām atziņām, noskaidrot, kā ir mainījušās Lielbritānijas un ES savstarpēji atkarīgās attiecības, pievēršot uzmanību pirms un pēc Brexit izmaiņām, un kādas intereses, pozīcijas u.c. faktori ietekmē attiecību pārvaldīšanu. Gadījuma jeb notikuma izpēti palīdz skaidrot tādi savstarpējās atkarības jēdzieni kā jūtīgums, neaizsargātība, jo neaizsargātība ir atbildīga par jaunām izmaiņām politikā un to pozitīvo vai negatīvo ietekmi, lai sam…

The author based on the analysis of existing materials and a focus group interview presents how the stereotypical perception of reality can affect the development of mutual prejudices
Brexit and war rhetoric, an electoral stategy?
2021
International audience; The English language is replete with bellicose expressions and references to different battles and wars involving British armed forces, in particular World War Two. This point was highlighted recently by the current occupant of 10 Downing Street, Boris Johnson, who remarked that "military metaphors are old parliamentary standard practice." 1 Many such terms have entered the everyday lexicon of most Eurosceptics and Brexiteers alike. They had already become common currency in anti-European rhetoric since the 1990s, but have reached a greater level of intensity in the last four years since the Brexit referendum, when these groups or individuals discuss or denounce the …
Of Walls and Fences: Brexit and the History of Cross-Border Migration
2019
Champions of Brexit have employed a large arsenal of arguments to boost their case for a Britain better off on its own, freed from its current European entanglements. All kinds of supposed ills have been linked to the country’s EU membership in British public debates over the years, ranging from petty bureaucratic absurdities, such as directives regarding crooked bananas, to heavy-handed rulings on higher matters of domestic and foreign policy. Lamentations about continental meddling have been accompanied by grand, nostalgic visions of an unfettered future Great Britain, ready to return to its proper, independent role on the global stage once it manages to cast off the shackles imposed by B…
Building and Testing a Comparative Interface on Northwest European Historical Parliamentary Debates : Relative Term Frequency Analysis of British Rep…
2022
Tensions between the people and parliament over representation are a normal feature of representative democracies. In this paper, we demonstrate how digital humanities analysis tools help in answering questions about the timing of debates on popular representation, tensions over its realization, and representatives’ changing perceptions on their parliamentary role. Our long-term approach to the conceptual history of political representation is based on the analysis of digitized parliamentary debates as nexuses of multi-sited political discourse. We combine computer-assisted distant and context-sensitive close reading to consider diachronic trends and synchronic political struggles surroundi…

Brexit w świetle wybranych teorii (dez)integracji europejskiej
2019
Ujawniające się w ramach Unii Europejskiej (UE) procesy dezintegracyjne wywołują potrzebę i postulaty stworzenia teorii dezintegracji europejskiej. Obecnie możemy mówić co najwyżej o istnieniu zaczątków takich teorii. W niniejszym opracowaniu podjęto próbę wykazania, że istniejące teorie integracji europejskiej mogą być z powodzeniem wykorzystane do analizy procesów dezintegracyjnych. Można tego dokonać relatywnie prostym zabiegiem, poprzez potraktowanie ich w sposób „odwrócony”. Innymi słowy, teorie te – tak jak można stosować przy eksplanacji procesów integracji, tak też można zastosować dla wyjaśnienia, dlaczego niektóre państwa nie chcą lub nie mogą uczestniczyć w procesach zbyt daleko …
Metaforu lietojums rakstos par ''Brexit''
2018
Pētījumā aplūkots metaforu lietojums saistībā ar Apvienotās Karalistes izstāšanos no Eiropas Savienības – mūsdienās tas ir vēl nebijis politisks lēmums. Pētījuma mērķis bija noteikt, cik bieži metaforas tiek lietotas dažādos ziņu rakstos par “Brexit” un kādas ir galvenās metaforu funkcijas. Kā empīriskā izpētes metode darbā izmantota diskursa analīze. Tās rezultāti atklāja, ka rakstos bieži tiek lietotas no fiziskām parādībām aizgūtas metaforas, lai izskaidrotu sarežģītos “Brexit” procesus. Turklāt metaforas tiek izmantotas, lai paustu kritiku, norādot, ka Apvienotajai Karalistei nevajadzētu izstāties no Eiropas Savienības. Jāsecina, ka metaforām ziņu diskursā ir dažādas funkcijas un tās īp…
