Media as the Intersphere of Human Life: Another View on the Mediatization of Communication Theory
Streszczenie
In the present article, the author attempts to illustrate phenomena occurring in
the sphere of human communication and integrate them into the speci!ic model.
It would not be an overall description of the complex ecosystem of interpersonal
communication, but rather the next brick added to the continuously expanding
edi!ice of scienti!ic re!lection on communicating and the media. Thus, for
the purposes of this study the author suggests the use of a term ‘intersphere’,
derived from geometry. The author is convinced that the situation, in which the
media are prevalent in every area of human life, is properly described. As for
the linguistic analysis of the word ‘intersphere’, the author examines its possible
references to the mediasphere theory, formulated by the Polish media researcher,
Bp. Adam Lepa, and divided into logosphere, iconosphere, galenosphere and
sonosphere. In the further study, he endeavors to investigate the extent, to which
the perception of the media as the intersphere of human existence cooperates
with – recently extremely popular and gaining more supporters – the theory of
mediatization of various areas of life. It seems that (despite lexical similarities
between the concepts of ‘mediosphere’ and ‘intersphere’) the comprehension of
the media in terms of the intersphere of human life is much closer to the theory
of mediatization; it constitutes as if the other side of this theory and hence, can
perfectly complement it.
