Homo Zapiens, le roman de Pelevine, se présente comme une anti-utopie dans la Russie postsoviétique. À travers un héros naïf qui tente de s’adapter au capitalisme, on découvre la nouvelle réalité sociale de la Russie en même temps que sa virtualisation par les médias. Le héros devenu rédacteur publicitaire invite à suivre un deuxième parcours, celui de la conception des slogans qu’il ne cesse d’inventer. La truculence et l’imbrication des signifiants se font de plus en plus vives dans le roman jusqu’à provoquer un emballement du signe. Le récit invite donc à deux lectures parallèles : une anti-quête de la réalité par un personnage naïf dans lequel on reconnaît la société russe prenant progressivement conscience de sa nouvelle situation dans les années 90; et un étiolement de la langue dans les différents slogans publicitaires. Le roman pose ainsi la question du réel de la Russie postsoviétique comme un vide sur lequel le pays doit reconstruire son identité.AbstractPelevin’s novel Homo Zapiens is a dystopia set in post-soviet Russia. Through the eyes of a credulous hero who tries to adapt to capitalism, the reader discovers the social reality of Russia and its virtualisation by the mass media at the same time. The story then follows the hero through his life as an advertising writer, in particular the creation process of the slogans which he constantly invents. The vividness and the interweaving of the signifiers are gradually increasing in the novel until reaching the point where the signs are almost spinning out of control. The narrative offers two parallel readings: an anti-quest of reality by a naive character which embodies the Russian society becoming gradually aware of its new situation in the 90’s; and the decline of language in the different advertising slogans. The novel thereby portrays the reality of postsoviet Russia as a void on which the country must re-build its identity.

Abstract During the last two decades of rising anti-migrant racism in Europe, Islamophobia has proven to be the highest, most acute, and widely spread form of racism. The article shows how anti-migrant Islamophobia is a structural phenomenon in European societies and how its internal structure has specific social roots and mechanisms of functioning. Such an articulate and interdependent set of key themes, policies, practices, discourses, and social actors it is intended to inferiorise and marginalise Muslim immigrants while legitimising and reproducing social inequalities affecting the majority of them. The article examines the social origins of anti-migrant Islamophobia and the modes and mechanisms through which it naturalises inequalities; it focuses on the main social actors involved in its production, specifically on the role of some collective subjects as anti-Muslim organizations and movements, far-right parties, best-selling authors, and the mass-media.

The focus of the paper is on the neologisms that have occurred in Bulgarian as a result of the pandemic. The corpus of analysis comprises linguistic exchanges collected during some personal conversations of the author with a number of informants as well as occurrences of the encountered neologisms in the social and mainstream media. The neologisms were also compared with the linguistic entries in some reference books and their frequency of use was checked through search engines. One of the main conclusions reached is that despite the fact that some of the analysed neologisms are not part of the official lexicon they are widely used in the social and the mass media, which means they are an active part of everyday life of Bulgarians.

The article is devoted to the issue of communication strategy in the mass media and PR-departments in organizations of various orientations. The authors draw attention to the existing practice of similar, repetitive messages that fill the information space. This complicates the perception of information by the public and makes this process boring and uninteresting. As one way of solving the problem, it is proposed to focus on unique information offers in communications. The authors believe that a wide potential audience is not aware of truly unique information offers of the mass media or PR departments of companies and organizations. A unique information offer is lost in the conditions of the growing tradition to consume news information from the social media feed, subscribing to a large number of public pages, unless these offers are made by popular and well-known companies. For instance, the authors of the article study unique information offers made by the media service of a football club in March-June 2020 in the context of the coronavirus crisis and the absence of matches. This is one of the most popular Russian clubs, well-known even to those Russians who are not football fans. Moreover, the authors also examine the unique information offers of a beauty company, with some of them not directly related to their products. As a result, theauthors suggest that it is worth advertising not only products on external resources, but also unique information offers directly.

This article aims to identify a “Thaw” in Soviet environmental history. Focusing on the attempts from some actors, above all writers and scholars of the Academy of Sciences to promote an ambitious law at the all-Union level in the second half of the 1950s, it uses new evidences from the central Russian archives to show the existence of an offensive by activists and experts in this field, but also their failure to obtain the creation of a unified state committee of ministerial rank. If the All-Russian Society for the Protection of Nature (VOOP) was sidelined in this battle, the 1960 Law on Nature Protection was significant for its members. It cited the VOOP as the main organ of control in the environmental field, and created an opportunity for new “social organizations” to emerge in the country: the Brigades for Nature Protection (DOP), the first of which was created at Moscow State University.
