| Sisältö |
Developed for the era of globalization, when economic, political,
financial and social challenges acquire global character, the
concept of ‘new humanism', in which UNESCO intends to play
its role to the full, aims at building a human community, where all
are equally empowered to enjoy dignity and respect. Recent
onrushing advent of digital media resulted in the appearance of new
media and communication codes. In this new intellectual, semiotic
and communicative context, media literacy, which integrates all
other kinds of literacy and concerns all media, including
television, film, radio and recorded music, the press, the Internet
and any other digital communication technology, becomes one of the
key prerequisites for the exercise of full, active citizenship.
In these lectures, media literacy - the capacity to access,
analyse and evaluate the power of the images, sounds and messages
and to communicate using the media competently - is regarded in
terms of its potential for humanisation and fostering the new
humanism in order to foster understanding and respect for cultural
diversity, encourage intercultural dialogue, and overcome the
depersonalising effects of mass technology. Adequate implementation
of the proposed media literacy strategy should contribute to the
education of new citizens and consolidation of the new culture of
peace.
