Jakość życia młodego pokolenia w kulturze imagologicznej : refleksja pedagoga

Abstract

The article conveys a theoretical reflection on the functioning of the young generation in the visual, imagological culture based on the media with a dominant visual code. The author presents issues pertaining to the specificity of the new media (using mainly iconic code), characterizes the image culture and introduces its new recipients. Then, she indicates the main sources and mechanisms of the image culture, and its consequences for the new generation’s development. The article closes with an attempt at describing a theoretical model of how to support the young generations’s development, which would be adequate for the qualities (features) of the image culture. It refers to Henry A. Giroux’s thesis about the abandoned geneartion, Kazimierz Obuchowski’s concept of the author’s personality, Józef Kozielecki’s idea of transgression and M.E.P. Seligman’s conception of positive psychology.
