The article describes changes in language, which regularly happen after the introduction of new communication technologies, identifying the pattern: repeated changes in ways of creation, replication and conceptualization of language. The article points out that the electronic stage, just like oral, written and printed stages, requires human effort to adjust language to its new environment. The author argues for human agency: language theory consciously formulated to lead the necessary changes. The author proposes a new discipline, language semiotics, which would study the processes of creation and replication in language in order to suggest successful solutions during the turning points, aka crisis situations in language history.

In recent years, commentators have characterized the disruptive social occurrences and technological changes as dystopic. As we attempt to address and deal with this melee of events with their associated emotions and reactions, this article mines media ecology literature, the work of renowned Brazilian educator, Paulo Freire, and other sources to propose some answers and choices for the path forward. More specifically, this article defines dystopia and describes Freire’s Gnostic cycle, which is comprised of active research, learning and teaching as a possible antidote. It highlights media ecology articles complementary to Freire that may be further leveraged. Finally, the article focuses on Freire’s Gnostic cycle in offering suggestions regarding future media ecology work to contribute in building a post pandemic world.

This article examines how a public relations writing class read and discussed a media ecology text, Orality and Literacy, during the spring 2020 semester as higher education classrooms shifted from a face-to-face to a remote or online instructional model due to the onset of COVID-19. The findings show that students in the class understood the effect of medium on learning in their own case through application of the text they were studying, and were able to distinguish between oral and written modes of learning, as well as their benefits and drawbacks. The article evaluates how technological change can impact communication and learning, and concludes that reading and discussing a media ecology text online can be incorporated deliberately into instructional design in order to teach the effect of a medium on ease of use and understanding.

The internet has allowed the expansion of media presence in the most varied sectors of society. Institutions and religious groups from the most diverse backgrounds take ownership and use the available technological communication resources to optimize their activities and objectives. Considering the approach to gender studies and media ecology from the perspective of tetradic theory, I intend to analyse the Godllywood programme, created by the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (IURD), which is defined as a movement that raises the banner of ‘Holiness to the Lord’ through the formation of a ‘virtuous woman’. Based on the continuous broadcasting of videos and other files through social networks such as Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, in addition to a blog hosted on the church’s website, we seek to understand how such religious groups, based on apparently outdated ideological discourses, propose the renewal of female minds and a change in behavior based on the precepts of the word of God. The women who make up the audience for the Godllywood channel are mentored by a principal mentor and the Big Sisters, all wives of church bishops. In addition to Brazil, the programme is now present in several countries in the Americas ‐ including the United States ‐ and other continents such as Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania. Based on the presentation of the programme and the challenges presented on the ‘Godllywood’ social networks, I intend to describe and analyse the discursive strategies used in these communication pieces.

Walter Ong emphasized two broad implications of literacy on mind, consciousness and interiority. I review some recent evidence for these conjectures by reference to my own research on children’s understanding of mind. I then go on to show how a theory of literate consciousness may help to explain the peculiar nature of Trump’s political rhetoric.

Planning and policy leaders often rely on technical expertise and technological advancement to manage urban crises, privileging smart city developments that iron out the complex and contradictory textures of urban experience. Smart cities, as post-human cities, often abstract risk and crisis phenomena from the everyday contexts of communication in which they emerge and inform the historically situated identities of urban stakeholders. Smart city environments are, therefore, biased against the complexities and contradictions of urban media ecologies that create mosaics of experience and more dynamic responses to risk and crisis phenomena. It is found herein that the mosaic identities of urban stakeholders emerge in networks of communication and commerce that contrast the efficiencies of smart city systems and cultivate dialogically complex relations among publics dwelling in urban contexts.
