Abstract. The paper is devoted to the question whether the contemporary communications can be described within the framework of the concept of the New Middle Ages, which has been elaborated by the modern cultural studies with the aim of exploring everyday life and mentality of the global society on the 21st century. It is shown in the article that certain typical medieval socio-cultural communications are reproduced on the new stage. The author of the paper dwells upon the generic resemblance between the two epochs, singling out more significant factors and traits. As a result of the analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that convincing interpretations of the communicative phenomena of today is possible and can be productive, particularly so when considering the concept of mediacracy, determined by the normative function of contemporary mass media.
