| Abstract (english) | Happenstance ’20s hopes to reflect the times and artefacts of the 2020s, when different chance meetings happened online due to COVID-19, when dialogues between hosts and guests have taken some new directions during lockdowns, cultural attitudes have changed due to Brexit, and media constructs demand new types of literacy regarding a cultural identity deconstruction.In order to emphasize the role of cultural artefacts, such as art, film, language and images, this textbook draws from a rich array of disciplines and theoretical frameworks in the study of the 2020s phenomena in the global contexts. The binary functions of a wide spectrum are grounded in a communicative approach, with a fair share of linguistic education in the language classroom. The authors wish to intrigue, perhaps even beyond their intention, with the attempt to document a moment in time, often pointing towards the detrimental planning of stereotypes. The expertise tries to span the globe and reflect the role of binary opposition in bridging the gaps and reconnecting cultures. In Chapter 1, film narratives and characters bring together the ways of understanding the interrelations between binary oppositions of multiculturalism and American Creed. Chapter 2 analyses synonymous lexical relations of newspaper headlines about COVID-19, which refer to binary oppositions of stereotypes about the superpowers: the USA and Japan. In Chapter 3, the host-guest social encounters are presented according to a binary concept of face-to-face communication vs. the counters we have frequented in Zoom meetings. Chapter 4 depicts globalization in language in Croatian online news and social media, as well as tackles the post-Brexit situation, with special regards to a binary concept of cultural appropriation and appreciation. At the end of each chapterthere are activities and appendixes. The linguistic and multimodal tool of the trade should empower and inspire readers to realise the versatile and diverse nature of possible happenstances as collateral events in the 2020s participatory practice. |
| Abstract (croatian) | Happenstance '20s nastoji odraziti vrijeme i artefakte 2020-ih, kada su se različiti slučajni susreti dogodili online zbog COVID-19, dijalozi između domaćina i stranca krenuli nekim novim smjerovima tijekom lockdowna, kulturni su se sustavi promijenili zbog Brexita, a medijski konstrukti iziskuju nove vrste pismenosti u pogledu dekonstrukcije kulturnog identiteta. Koristeći umjetničke artefakte poput filma i svijeta slika te vizualnosti, udžbenik crpi iz bogatog niza disciplina i teorijskih okvira koristeći fenomene našeg vremena u globalnom kontekstu. Binarne funkcije širokog spektra utemeljene su stoga na komunikacijskom pristupu proučavanja medija i kulture dok je značajan udio jezičnog prostora okrenut prema praktičnom nastavnom radu. Autori nastoje zaintrigirati čitatelje te dokumentirati određena zbivanja, pritom često ukazujući na štetno djelovanje stereotipnih obrazaca. Stručni dio udžbenika osvrće se na ulogu binarnih opozicija u premošćivanju jaza i povezivanju kultura. U 1. poglavlju filmske pripovijesti i likovi donose različite načine razumijevanja međuodnosa u sferi multikulturalizma i američkog Creeda. Poglavlje br. 2 analizira sinonimne leksičke odnose povezujući korpus novinskih naslova vezanim uz COVID-19 te uspoređujući odnose medijskih stereotipa o dvjema supersilama: SAD-u i Japanu. U 3. poglavlju prikazani su društveni susreti na relaciji domaćin-gost prema binarnom konceptu izravne komunikacije (licem u lice) nasuprot susretima koji se događaju isključivo online uslijed naše česte posjećenosti Zoom- u tijekom lockdowna. Poglavlje br. 4 opisuje globalizaciju u jeziku na korpusu hrvatskih informativnih emisija na društvenim mrežama nakon Brexita te uz osobit naglasak na binarni koncept kulturološkog prisvajanja i uvažavanja. Na kraju svakog poglavlja nalaze se nastavne aktivnosti i dodaci. Udžbenik pruža jezične i multimodalne alate koji mogu osnažiti i potaknuti čitatelje da spoznaju svestranu i raznoliku prirodu kolateralnih događaja u participativnoj praksi 2020-ih. |
