The aim of this paper is to analyse Twitter activity of Prime Ministers of Poland and of the Czech Republic, Mateusz Morawiecki and Andrej Babiš respectively, during the 2019 European Parliament election campaign with the special focus on their ways of creating, imposing and reproducing the campaign discourse. It examines especially the person-alization of the election campaign, namely using the election-related activities to promote their image. Also, the im-portance of hashtags as a strategy for building discursive styles is explored and ways of using political pretexts e.g. the Europe Day to introduce election themes are compared. In this context the answer to the following question pre-sents itself as a research challenge: to what extent PMs’ tweets impact the course and the dynamics of the campaign and to what extent it is just dry information, a press commentary?
The aim of this study is to present the story behind the media image recounting the final months in the life of the former primate of the Czech Republic, cardinal Miloslav Vlk. The analyses presented in this study are grounded in a corpus of texts consisting of 63 press articles published by Czech national dailies between 23 January and 26 March 2017. The image recreated on their basis has become extraordinary not only due to the fact of its very existence within the perception of the world promoted by Czech media, but also because of the way it was constructed and presented to the audience. One must not underestimate the role of the main protagonist of the analyzed image, who became one of its authors himself.
The current state of research regarding the history of the Polish studies at Czech universities is mainly reflected in collective monographs, published to celebrate the 90th anniversary of their founding. The conducted analyses revealed the current state of the Czech Polish studies, traditionally developing in academic centres in Prague, Brno, Olomouc and Ostrava, and of specific determinants that the entire foreign Polish studies are subject to. Debate on further development of Czech interdisciplinary studies of Poland was held also within the framework of the 1st Congress of the Czech Polish Studies. The authors believe that further research should pay more attention to the genesis of Czech institutionalized Polish studies, especially on the period when their precursors were active. It is also necessary to put the research in the context of the interest in the language, literature, history and culture of the Slavs, which started to emerge in the period of the Czech National Revival.
W artykule porównane zostały formaty finałowych debat prezydenckich z ostatnich wyborów w Polsce, między Andrzejem Dudą a Bronisławem Komorowskim (2015) i w Czechach między Jiřím Drahošem and Milošem Zemanem (2018). Celem tego porównania opartego na retorycznej krytyce gatunkowej było sprawdzenie, czy i jak badane wydarzenia medialne wpisują się we wzorzec gatunkowy debaty. Porównano reguły interakcji, elementy czasu i przestrzeni, a także sposób moderowania i zadawanie pytań we wszystkich analizowanych debatach. Efektem tego porównania było wskazanie kierunku hybrydyzacji gatunkowej debat przedwyborczych z ostatnich wyborów w Polsce i w Czechach.
