Pomiędzy geografią a mediami : upowszechnianie kultury na "prowincji"

Abstract

In article author studies the transformation of culture distribution. The main field of analysis is the influence of mass media communication to the changes in the sense of locality (as the foundation of building the sense of identity). The development of new communication technologies, universal access to tools, information distribution, disturbs the traditional centre-periphery relations, and set new challenges for the dissemination of culture. The article includes an attempt to identify what the provincialism and peripheral means today as perspectives to identify commitment in creation and dissemination of culture. The most important challenge for cultural activities is to balance the purpose of its activities, taking into account both local and global values.
