THE “CORDIAL MAN”: A LATIN AMERICAN CONCEPT IN THE BRAZILIAN ESSAY

Yet elites have often paid too little heed to the domestic distributive impact of high immigration and globalized trade. Immigration and globalization are also spurring fo...
Satira kot »sodobna parrhesia«
Namen magistrske naloge bo preučiti in odrediti mesto satiri v današnjih prevladujočih vrstah govora, zato nas ne bo toliko zanimala satira kot »ona sama«, temveč v širšem kontekstu načinov govorov in izražanj, ki se uporabljajo v javnem in političnem prostoru.
