კრიზისული კომუნიკაცია და სოციალური მედიის გამოწვევები / Crisis communication and social media challenges

MOAMBE, 2023

The article discusses issues of crisis communication, a still developing direction among social sciences. Its thorough study began in the 80s of the 20th century and, therefore, it is accompanied by certain difficulties, including different opinions about the definition, the lack of empirical studies and the undefined possibilities of social media, because of which a crisis can be planned and instigated in the virtual space by a single social network user. It should be noted that crisis communication, as a discipline, is mostly based on the case study method, and the existing theories of crisis communication are being improved along with technological progress. Virtual space itself creates new crises and dictates new, unusual standards of crisis communications, with which there is virtually no precedent for dealing with. However, social media has a great opportunity to influence not only the course of crisis communication, but also the future perspective of companies and the formation of public opinion.

David Agmashenebeli. Numismatic Heritage. (Typology, iconography, foreign policy)

Artanuji, 2022

Numismatic heritage of David IV and his activities as an issuing authority has long become a subject of interest for both Georgian and foreign scholars. In 2021, within a span of one year, two coins discovered on the territory of Georgia bearing the image of king David found their place at the Georgian National Museum. The present work attempts to study newly discovered coins and to introduce them to scientific community. The present coin type issued by great king is important for at least two reasons. Firstly, a coin stored at the British Museum was supposed to be the unique specimen up to date. Besides, their iconography is as exclusive within a milieu of Georgian numismatic monuments as the reign of David IV in the history of Georgia. It is well known that aforementioned coin was acquired by the British Museum in 1857 and remained the unique one until the 21st century. Today, 164 years later, two new copper coins bearing portrayal of David appeared in the Georgian National Museum. New specimens give us the opportunity to shed light on a few iconographic and historical issues. Along with the study of newly discovered coins, we present numismatic-metrological analysis of the well-known British sample, revisit its iconographic peculiarities that have enabled us to revise some assumptions about the historical context. The appearance of new specimens has enriched our knowledge about this specific coin type. It has revealed peculiar emphasis on David IV’s foreign policy – his relationship with the Crusaders in particular, which has been a matter of debates for the long time.
