We are proud to announce that our researcher, Dr Karolina Ćwiek-Rogalska, has been nominated for AcademiaNet – European Database of Outstanding Women Academic (https://www.academia-net.org/).

Outstanding female researchers are nominated for the database by more than 40 prestigious partner organisations (it is not possible to apply directly – a nomination is required). The selection criteria are rigorous and include scientific excellence and outstanding achievements in the discipline represented by the researcher.
AcademiaNet aims to create a database containing profiles of female experts from all disciplines. The platform should make it easier to find outstanding female representatives from the respective fields and contribute to the increased selection of female scientists for scientific committees and their more frequent invitations by universities and other institutions.
We publish texts in the sections “Articles”, as well as “Sources and materials”, “Discussions, polemics, review articles”, “Reviews”, “Chronicle” and “Information about new items in the scientific literature”.
Texts for volume 48 can be submitted via the platform by December 1, 2023. The total volume of the article (text, bibliography, abstract in Polish and English) should not exceed 38 thousand characters with spaces. Instructions for authors and a description of formal requirements can be found on the journal’s website under Online Submissions: https://ispan.waw.pl/journals/index.php/abs/about/submissions#onlineSubmissions.

We present research conducted at ISS PAS as part of the POLONEZ BIS 2 programme of the National Science Centre (NCN):
Dr. Orest Semotiuk from Ukraine is implementing a project entitled „Laughter during the war: Russian aggression in Ukraine in political cartoons and memes”. The supervisor of the project on the part of the Institute is dr hab. Roman Roszko, prof. IS PAN.
Project description:
Modern wars differ from the classic ones in that they use not only military equipment and regular troops. Values, ideology, culture, symbols, media, humor are becoming weapons in the 21st century. Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, which began in 2014 with the annexation of Crimea and the occupation of Donbass, has been evaluated as a “hybrid war”. After the full-scale invasion of Russia on February 24, 2022, Ukraine not only became a theater of hostilities in Europe, but also a topic №1 in the world media. Political humor in Ukraine and worldwide became a weapon. The heroic resistance of Ukrainians and Russia’s war crimes against civilians have been reflected in political humor both in Ukraine and around the world. Accordingly, the project aims to analyze the implementation and evolution of the discursive dimension of the Ukrainian-Russian War in cartoons and memes. We are going to investigate similarities and differences in conflict depiction („self-image” and “external image” of the conflict course, conflict participants, conflict consequences) in Ukrainian and World political cartoons and memes. Special attention is paid to a) rapid growth of global interest in Ukraine, opposing the aggressor; b) gradual changes in the attitude of world leaders to the Russian-Ukrainian war, due to public pressure and diplomatic efforts of Ukraine; с) Putin’s transformation into a global pariah; d) the evolution of President Zelensky’s attitude to ways to resolve the conflict before and after 24.02. The project integrates national and international (global) levels of political humorous discourse and proposes a contrastive analysis of the discursive dimension of the Russian-Ukrainian war and its implementation in political humor. The project is based on significant correlation of the real and discursive dimension of the conflict (international military and political assistance to Ukraine and the reflection of this support in the national and international political humor).
