The Relationship

From year to year, the role of Social Media has become increasingly important. In this context, public institutions in Romania have started to use social networks more and more often, in order to increase the interest of citizens for interaction through social media. Usually, online communication channels do not replace other means of communication, but offer the advantage of the large number of users who are increasingly active in these social networks.

Through this communication channel, they build a favorable image and make the activity of public administration transparent, which leads to an improvement in the relationship with citizens. Therefore, the relations of public institutions with the media are materialized through the organization of press conferences, through press releases or interviews with public administration leaders.

The paper considers linguistic and discursive features of anthropocentric myth creation in the social and political media. Myth creation in the social and political context is viewed as creation of social and political myths correlating with real and fictional events, public persons or social and political phenomena. The author brings into light the role of the media audience as one of the leading factors ensuring successful creation of the media mythological image appealing predominantly to the emotional sphere in the mass recipient’s consciousness. Strange as it might seem, the anthropocentric mythological discourse demonstrates the minimal amount of explicit emotiveness, which creates conditions for independent evaluation of the information by the audience itself. Narrative is considered to be the basic myth creation format. It is represented as a series of stories about the myth creation object. Given the diachronic aspect of myth creation and its chronotope which can span quite a long period of time, it is suggested to speak of the narrative continuum focused on a media person who is in the centre of public attention. It is pointed out that media myth creation takes place on the basis of implications which appear in the process of reception of factual information by the media audience. The interaction of verbal and non-verbal means typical of the media fosters creation of a full-bodied anthroponymic mythological image, which calls for a special study.

Reform Needs

Explanations of the abolition of the slave trade have been the subject of intense historical debate. Earlier accounts tended to play up the role of individual, heroic abolitionists and their religious, particularly evangelical, motivation. Eric Williams argued that the decline in profitability of the ‘Triangular trade’ was important in persuading people that the slave trade hindered, rather than helped, economic progress. More recent work has rehabilitated the role of some abolitionists but has set this alongside the importance of campaigning and petitioning in shifting public opinion. The role that the slaves themselves played in bringing attention to their plight is also now recognized. Consequently, the importance of abolitionism for a sense of Dissenting self-identity and as part of broader attempts to influence social reform needs to be reconsidered.
