Media Sociology in Pierre Bourdieu

هێمن شوانى, ammar najm aldin,

In contemporary society, media plays a decisive role in shaping our understanding of the world and our sense of social identity. It not only reflects cultural and political realities but also actively constructs them, influencing the way individuals and groups perceive themselves and others. This study focuses on the perspective of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu on media sociology and examines how symbolic hegemony operates through media institutions to influence the construction of social imagery, with particular attention to the power of television as a dominant medium.

The primary objective of this research is to analyze Bourdieu’s major concepts related to media, including celerity, symbolic violence, and media homogenization, manipulation of language and concepts, and concealment of information. Each of these concepts’ sheds light on the subtle yet powerful mechanisms through which media influences thought and behavior. Furthermore, the study aims to clarify Bourdieu’s critique of the media’s role, especially television, in creating illusions that mislead the public by presenting partial realities as complete truths.

Methodologically, the study adopts a theoretical analysis of Bourdieu’s seminal works, with particular emphasis on Television, and evaluates his broader arguments within the contemporary context of modern media practices.

Findings reveal that media functions as a field of power, imposing symbolic hegemony on audiences. Habitus and capital play central roles in shaping social imagery and reproducing social inequality. Television emerges as a particularly effective mechanism for manipulating opinions and distorting reality. Moreover, the speed and competitiveness of media production limit opportunities for critical scrutiny, resulting in the circulation of superficial, sensational, and sometimes inaccurate information.

Ultimately, Bourdieu’s insights remain highly relevant in the digital era, offering tools to understand online platforms, digital propaganda, and information warfare. This underscores the importance of media literacy and critical awareness as safeguards for independent thought and democratic engagement.

The Para text of Epigraphs in Ata Mohammad's Novels Abstract:

ناهیدە حوسێن, پ. د. فوئاد ڕەشید

Para text is a critical concept coined and developed by the French author and critic Gérard Genette. It encompasses all the elements surrounding a text that are presented to the reader within the framework of a book, such as: the author's name, main title, internal titles, epigraphs, forewords, dedications, and footnotes. Therefore, paratextual elements play a significant role in introducing and familiarizing the reader with the text, and no work can become a book and be presented to the reader without paratextual elements. This research, titled "The Para text of Epigraphs in Ata Mohammad's Novels," is an attempt to introduce and practically apply the concept of epigraphs according to Gérard Genette's view of Para text. The aim is to highlight the function and importance of the Para text of epigraphs, which, from the outset, provides the reader with an idea about the content and message of the text.

The Semiology of Words in the Poetry of Ahmed Mohammed (Color, Personality, Nature

زارا مەحموود, صافیە احمد,

   This study, titled "The Semiology of Words in the Poetry of Ahmed Mohammed (Color, Personality, Nature)," was conducted to explore the semiological dimension within the poet's work. It examines the symbols, emblems, and connotations that are reflected in the words of his poems. The poet frequently uses words that carry a secondary, hidden meaning, along with a collection of semantic connotations. These loaded meanings can be interpreted and uncovered by analyzing the context in which the words appear.

   This research utilizes a descriptive-analytical methodology, drawing on the semiological theories of Georges Mounin. The findings reveal the semiological dimensions of words that possess a secondary or loaded meaning, particularly those related to the fields of color, personality, and nature. These specific words are prominent and widely used throughout the poet's work. Ahmed Mohammed employs them purposefully, aiming to convey a desired meaning that is appropriate for creating poetic imagery, enhancing aesthetics, and aligning with the overall theme of the text.

الشخصيات والمتخيل الإيكولوجي السردي في راويتي )تشيبكو( و)طفوليا( لصلاح بن عياد

عبدالله أبراهیم, أ. د. سامی ناجی

 Character is one of the most important artistic components upon which narrative discourse is based. It is the primary factor that qualifies a novel for immortality, distinction, and success, as it touches upon and represents the realities of real characters. Character is a psychological essence that carries semantic depth through its portrayal of societal issues in a narrative work. It is a prominent and important tool in the hands of the writer, assisting them in constructing their text, weaving its plot, and creating and developing its events, thus enhancing the literary and artistic work. Because it is a common factor among narrative formation units, it has received study and analysis from scholars and critics, as it is one of the most influential and important narrative elements present in contemporary literary texts. Accordingly, this study divided characters into three categories: the conceptual character was discussed in the first section, the supporting character in the second section, and the fantastic character was discussed in the third section of the study.

Keywords: Characters, conceptual character, supporting character, fantastic character, ecology.

ئارین عەبدوڵلا, sipan hassan

This research presents Contemporary Crusader Sources: A source for the History and Siege of Antioch (490–491 AH/1097–1098 AD), a pivotal era that brought about profound transformations in medieval history. The study aims to provide a comprehensive biography of contemporary Crusader historians of the First Crusade and their works, highlighting their roles in the campaign, whether they accompanied it, arrived in the East afterward, or authored their works from the West based on the testimonies of accompanying historians and eyewitnesses.

The research particularly focuses on the pivotal role of the momentous events witnessed in Antioch, relying on the writings of historians who accompanied the First Crusade. This includes a description of the city's features, followed by its siege and fall—a critical juncture in the Crusaders' advance towards Jerusalem. It elucidates how chaos engulfed the city upon the Crusaders' entry, leading to the massacre of Muslims, with the exception of those who sought refuge in the citadel..

Furthermore, the study addresses the counter-siege imposed by Kerbogha on the Crusaders inside Antioch after its fall, and the ensuing suffering, leading to the discovery of the Holy Lance, which significantly boosted Crusader morale and contributed to their victory.

ڕۆلێ گیرەکێن ڕێزمانی د دیارکرنا پۆلێن ڤەکریێن ئاخڤتنێدا، د ئاخڤتنا خه لكێ دهۆكێدا

كوردستان كەمال, diman omar,

This study aims to analyze the role of grammatical affixes in identifying open classes in speech, based on a study conducted by Finch. It investigates the relationship between grammatical affixes and class identification in spoken language. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach and highlights the importance of these features in enhancing the influence of grammatical affix fields on the stem, root, and base of words within these fields, as well as their role in determining open classes. The study also examines whether specific grammatical features affect open classes compared to other classes. The findings reveal that grammatical affixes play a crucial role in defining open classes: each class of speech is associated with specific affixes, and when such affixes are identified, the corresponding class can be determined. The study is divided into two parts: the first part focuses on grammatical features (including the concept of affixes, grammatical properties, types of affixes, their relationship with open classes, structural and semantic characteristics, and morphological aspects), while the second part addresses the practical application of these features in identifying open classes (including nouns, adjectives, and adverbs).

ناسنامە لە فەلسەفەی باروخ دی سپینۆزادا

كارزان جەعفەر, پ. د. مسلم حسن

This research explores the foundations and perspectives of identity within the framework of the philosophy of Baruch de Spinoza. It sheds light on substance as identity in the universe, while also emphasizing the role of identity as a fundamental concept in overcoming all matters that are defined within the framework of dualism or separated duality. A descriptive–analytical and comparative method has been employed to examine Spinoza’s   rather than two divided entities. According to Spinoza, the human being or individual does not possess an independent identity in isolation; rather, one’s identity is determined within the framework of cause and effect created by God or nature. Thus, the identity of the human being is established within the unity of substance, through the qualities of thought and extension. In this sense, identity is not a fixed and isolated existence of the individual, but rather a metaphysical and functional understanding that transcends the dualism of God and the world. It offers a new comprehension of humanity as part of the total process of thought and extension, in which God and nature are unified.
