Women's Representation in the Moroccan Media

This lecture will start by presenting the notions of media representation and identity construction by referring in particular to the work of cultural studies theorist Stuart Hall (1987). Representation here will be introduced as the language and images created to provide conceptual maps of the world and shape culture. The lecture will focus on the representation of women in Moroccan media, and also address women's participation in media production. It will contextualize these representations within their socio-political and cultural settings, to then shed light on the implications of these media representations in mainstream media, such as television and cinema. The last part of the lecture will shed light on digital media productions and alternative portrayals to offer a view of the dynamic flow of cultural texts and products in the current Moroccan mediascape.

Multidisciplinary Approaches in Intercultural Communication

Intercultural communication enriches the world and provides rational and emotional benefits by enabling cooperation in many areas. Many processes in the universe are geared towards achieving more efficient results by cooperating with each other. Especially in the era of globalization, intercultural communication is one of the most important issues. The aim of this lecture is to analyse intercultural communication in the context of reputation management with the example of 2024 Hungarian-Turkish Cultural Year. Communication studies conducted during the Hungarian-Turkish cultural year will be explained from the perspective of communication theories. This lecture will also explain the function of cultural years as a reputation management tool and will also illustrate how intercultural communication can be handled from a multidisciplinary perspective in literature, history and art with current examples.

Social media: A Match Inside the Match Between Football Clubs

Social media is a very useful tool for companies to increase revenue, engage with customers, and develop a brand voice. Football clubs, as they are not only sports entities but also companies, are aware about the opportunities that social media may provide them, developing very interesting strategies every season to compete not only on the pitch, but also online. It is a match inside the match between football clubs. The intersection of sports and social media in the digital age has opportunities, igniting a revolution in the way football clubs connect with their fan base. This lecture analyses how social media has emerged as an indispensable yardstick for gauging a club's influence and impact, focusing on football clubs' social media performance in followers and engagement. These results will quantify a club's resonance in the global football community.

Understanding your Target Audiences: An Empathy Map, Needs, and Creative Strategies

An in-depth understanding of the target audience is at the heart of corporate and brand communication. An empathy map is a useful tool that helps to understand people, how they think, how they feel, and what they need. From audience insights creative strategies are born. The lecture provides students with knowledge on empathy maps. A special emphasis will be placed on the analysis of successful campaigns that were based on insights into people, and also on crisis situations that escalated due to lack of empathy for the target audience.

Intercultural Transitions in Business Culture

The challenges of intercultural transitions in business culture across Europe and obstacles in developing business cooperation within the European market limit entrepreneurial potential due to substantially different business models and intercultural communication codes (based on experience from Finland to Spain). This lecture explains how intercultural transitions can be challenging, and individuals may experience language and cultural confusion as they adapt to a new culture within the business environment. Culture shock is a common experience for cross-countries teams integrating different cultures that we can observe in business practice. Theories of cross-cultural adaptation can help us understand the barriers to intercultural communication facing ethnocentrism and confirmation bias heuristics in the business environment. Communication styles and the role of power are also important factors to consider when working across cultures. Assessment and development models at the company level can help individuals and organizations improve their intercultural communication skills.
