: Following the contemporary trend of live-action remakes of classic children’s films, the study offers a cognitive approach to children’s adaptations at the intersection of adaptation studies and the cognitive branch of non-radical constructivism. After a brief theoretical-metho - dological introduction an interpretation of two film versions of Pinocchio from 2022 is presented. The article will demonstrate how the latest adaptations Pinocchio by Robert Zemeckis and Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio by Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson, offer children the opposite direction of experience in the theme of accepting their own identity. This will be evident despite their very similar departure from the traditional paradigm of Pinocchio stories.

: The digitization process alters the media landscapes in all developed European countries. This study presents the results of research that was conducted on the sample of active websites of all radio stations based in Croatia. All active websites (n=157) were mapped on the basis of a matrix that included news, communication, and advertising content as well as indicators of media convergence. The results show a marked unevenness in terms of individual websites’ offer, especially in the category of news content. What all sites have in common is a strong reliance on programmes pre - viously broadcast. Reasons for this neglect are lack of money and lack of staff trained to work in a digital environment. Websites are not under stood as a step towards a converged media environment, nor is there a clear awareness of their role in the strategic development of the medium of radio in the 21 st century.

: The study discusses the Japanese view of life and death as seen in Isekai reincarnation anime. Isekai anime can be divided into two further categories, Isekai anime and Isekai reincarnation anime. Both genres are set in the world of swords and magic. However, the difference between them is how the protagonists are reincarnated into another world. The author conducted research how they were reincarnated into another world. It can be divided into five categories depending on the cir - cumstances and means of reincarnation. Of these, the author focused on the means of reincarnation after the deaths of the protagonists in this world. The concept of reincarnation in Isekai anime may appear similar to that of Buddhism (karma and saṃsāra). However, Buddhism has a negative view about reincarnation because Buddha tried to transcend reincarnation which was a traditional do - minant thought in Indian society at that time. In Isekai reincarnation anime, the protagonists are reincarnated in another world in which they gain magical powers and talents and can realize the unfulfilled dreams of their previous lives. We can see that this depictions of reincarnation in positive.

: This research investigates the role of non-human actors in the context of digital performing arts. It employs an interdisciplinary approach, integrating philosophical, historical, and artistic perspectives to explore the unique potential of non-human actors. Starting with an in-depth analysis of the philosophical concepts laid out by Deleuze, Bergson, and Tyler, the stu-dy establishes a theoretical framework. It then investigates the historical and contemporary artistic movements that have begun to challenge the anthropocentric paradigm in performing arts. The practical application of these theoretical and historical perspectives is illustrated through an examination of three case studies: Leňochod má celkom vážny dôvod sa vykakať [Sloth Has a Pretty Good Reason to Poop], Foam , and Heterotopia [Heterotopy]. These projects leverage extended reality technologies to offer spectators an im - mersive glimpse into the lives and experiences of non-human entities. They employ philosophical concepts such as intensity and indices to test their potential for establishing communication betwe-en human and non-human entities. The research concludes by emphasizing the transformative potential of incorporating non-human actors in digital performing arts, suggesting that such a practice can redefine traditional theatre boundaries, challenge human-centric worldviews, and foster empathetic connections across species.

: This article explores the concept of public service and public interest. Drawing on the philosophies of Martha Nussbaum, Virginia Held, and Nancy Fraser, the presented text contests traditional political-economic and cultivation theories that emphasize efficiency, performance, and perfection. Instead, it posits an approach that integrates human vulnerability as a valuable aspect of the “good life,” thereby fostering a richer understanding of public interest. It criticises the exclusive and perfection-focused narratives, proposing inclusive “counterpublics” that recognize and value diverse community interests. The 2018 performance of Frljić’s “Our Violence, Your Violence” in Brno, CZ provides a tangible illustration of these concepts, showcasing how theatre can function as a democratic platform for dialogue or fail in this mission due to paternalism. The article concludes with a call to reimagine public service in theatre to encourage democratic decision-making, appreciate human vulnerabilities, and foster dialogue and inclusion.
