CONTEMPORARY MEDIA: DEVELOPMENT OF CRITICAL THINKING OR PRODUCTION OF NECCESARY ILLUSIONS AND WEAPONS (CONSPECT)
Journal Title: Megatrendy a médiá - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper is a brief empirical and discursive conspect-analysis of modern media in the liberal and democratic Western societies, including the Macedonian one. It generally starts from the critical analyses of the reknowned American linguist, psychologist, philosopher, and political activist, Noam Chomsky, made at the end of the 20th and begining of the 21st century, as well as the critical analyses of the French post-structuralist and postmodernist/hypermodernist Paul Virilio, made in the same period. At the same time, these analyses confront and oppose the analyses of the famous American/Arab orientalist Edward Saïd, as well as those of the renowned Soviet/Russian philosopher and sociologist Alexander Zinoviev. At the very end of the paper, in the form of a brief excurse, a critical analysis of the media in the Republic of Macedonia has been conducted, for the time period since the independence until today.
