Understanding Finnish education: science popularization and scholarly work as intertwined activities
2015
Moving to Finland two years ago had given new push to my work in many ways. I have been studying Hungarian educationfor about thirteen years and I have been addressing the general public with popularizing materials for nearly five years now. However, in Finland these activities become more complex than in my native country. Here, I wish to discuss how my research found larger and larger contexts in two steps: First, by starting to make my research available to wider audiences in Hungary, and second, by turning my focus to an international environment. I claim that these two types of recontextualization are not only beneficial for me as a researcher personally but also serve the researched c…
White Paper on Governance: EU Attempt to Popularize Legal Discourse?
2015
Since the 1990s the discourse on the relationship between the EU institutions and member states in the field of European action has changed significantly and it has been increasingly supplemented by framework agreements between the actors involved in the Community dialogue. In this regard, the White Paper on Governance (Brussels, 25.7.2001 - COM(2001) 428final) contains a series of recommendations on how to enhance democracy in Europe and boost the legitimacy of the institutions. The aim is to modernize European public action in order to increase the accountability of European executive bodies to the elected assemblies and open up the Union's decision-making procedures to allow citizens to …
Anwendungsbezogene Transformationen antiker Literatur im Neuhumanismus und in unmittelbarer Zeitgegenwart. Ausstellungspraktische und jugenddidaktisc…
2017
Właśnie w czasach oszczędności finansowych oraz postępującego procesu ekonomizacji kultury jest ważnym fakt, aby filolodzy angażowali się również kulturowo i politycznie dla swoich autorów, nad którymi sprawują opiekę naukową, oraz w zakresie tematyki dzieł. Artykuł opisuje przygotowywaną wystawę w Domu Literatury im. Johann-Heinrich-Voß'a w Penzlin, w miejscowości, w której Voß otrzymał pierwsze impulsy rozwoju. Voß wyjaśnia propozycje szkolno-pedagogiczne, w pewnym sensie skromne warsztaty literackie, które zostaną zrealizowane w ramach wystawy stałej zatytułowanej "Johann Heinrich Voß. Grek z Mecklenburii".
The Web Participatory Environment: a New Genre in Health Exchange
2014
The Internet has provided new and expanded means of communication, incorporating all forms of discourse and registers, including that of medical discussion. Certain sites, in fact, specialise in healthcare and provide information, offering direct access to counsellors (medical professionals qualified to provide advice) and forums in which the role of participants is that of potential nonspecialists who share opinions, gather information on healthrelated issues and ambiguous medical meanings. The benefits of a healthrelated online forum lie in its ability to quickly and conveniently connect people to both important information and to other people with knowledge regarding a specific health…

Constructing a “breakthrough”: News values in Science Magazine's 2017 ranking of most important discoveries
2018
The objective of this study is to conduct a stylistic analysis of the synopses publicized in the end-of-the-year ranking list of 2017 scientific “breakthroughs” from Science Magazine. The article provides a review of literature on science popularization (also known as science accommodation) and presents the typology of news values and rationalization cues that are used by editors to make science-related coverage both newsworthy and credible at the same time. The article lists the possible ways in which scientific findings can be stylistically constructed as “breakthroughs”. The analysis consists in quantifying and illustrating the typical stylistic maneuvers for framing selected science-rel…
