An investigation into the popularity of Zimbabwe's first health communication soap opera, Studio 263 : a qualitative reception study of Bulawayo students aged between 15 and 20 yearsBhebhe-Mpofu, Adilaid 18 August 2014 (has links)
Within the context of debates concerning the reception and interpretation of media texts by television audiences, this qualitative reception study explores how a sample of Bulawayo students negotiate meanings from Zimbabwe's first health communication soap opera, Studio 263. The study thus examines the reasons behind the popularity of this programme with this target audience. The findings of the study reveal that meaning making is a complex process that is dependent on a variety of factors which include, among others, the socio-cultural context of media consumption, gender, economic disposition and age. It particularly maintains that gender and lived realities influence the interpretation and negotiation of meanings in this particular study. / Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.0 Paper Capture Plug-in

Negotiating the global : how young women in Nairobi shape their local identities in response to aspects of the mexican telenovela, Cuando seas miaJiwaji, Aamera Hamzaali 15 September 2010 (has links)
Latin American telenovelas have been exported to more than a hundred countries across the globe. While they are popular in their country of production because their messages resonate with their audience’s everyday experiences, their popularity amongst global audiences with whom they share neither a social nor a cultural history is unexplained. Kenya has been importing and airing Latin American telenovelas since the early 1990s, and telenovelas have permeated many aspects of Kenyan daily life, when compared to other foreign globally-distributed media products that are aired on Kenyan television. As global media products, telenovelas remain open to criticisms from the media imperialism thesis. This research adopts an ethnographic approach to the study of audiences, and looks at the reception of a Mexican telenovela, Cuando Seas Mia, by a group of young Kenyan women in Nairobi. It reflects upon the media imperialism thesis from an African perspective by investigating the meanings that these women make from Cuando Seas Mia, and how these shape their changing local identities and cultures. The young women in this study, most of whom have moved to the city from the rural areas, are influenced by traditional, patriarchal Kenyan society and by the modern, Western influences of an urban environment. They experience a tension between their evolving rural and urban roles and identities and are drawn to telenovelas because their exploration of rural-urban themes holds a relevance to their own lives. They negotiate their contemporary African youth identities, gender roles and heterosexual relationships in relation to representations in the telenovela, questioning and destabilising African and Western definitions. These women select aspects from their traditional, African cultures and from their modern, Western experiences (and consumption of global media) and reconstruct them into a transitional youth identity which suits their day to day lives as young women living in an urban African environment.

Previous issue date: 2009-02-27 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The present study aimed to construct a diagnostic of the adolescent understanding of home sexuality issues; adolescents from the eighth grade of one Public School. In
order to answer this central question, data were drawn from oral and written reports regarding three themes: the kiss on the relationships, the homosexual relationships and the adolescent pregnancy. The strategy to motivate debate was the practice of workshops with audiovisual material made of scenes from four Rede Globo Television soap operas related to the research s subject. This study describes which situations have led the researcher to elect the theme, drawing the course to be taken. Supported by theory accomplices, it was made a study about adolescence life period where the participants of this research are, analyzing the sexual education elements in Brazil, organized by Brazilian researchers, and it has showed the television and soap operas importance in the sexual education process. The above has resulted into a diagnostic construction regarding the way of perception and thinking of adolescents about this chosen theme, checking which aspects of the sexual education are preponderant to their way of thinking. It suggests a work guided to an Emancipating Sexual Education , in an intentional way, committed to promote the educator autonomy, as a way to get over pattern behaviors, hierarchized and stereotype, prejudices and taboos, which is possible only by the understanding of social-historicpolitical
aspects that conducted the building of sexual education of Occidental World. The qualitative research, of dialectic character, was made by action-research considering it the ideal direction, as the researcher already works at classrooms with adolescents. The evaluation of oral and written reports was done according to the analysis of contents, emphasizing three categories named as following: a) the usual still give the rules of how adolescents are still the same as our parents b) soap operas as a rich pedagogical way for a rich work about sexuality c) the hope expressed by contradiction. Those categories evidence the importance of the pedagogical use of the media of communication in the youths sexual education; education that has been revealed too conservative, but with lines of hope to a new look at the sexuality / O presente trabalho buscou construir um diagnóstico da compreensão dos adolescentes, matriculados em duas oitavas séries do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola da rede pública, sobre questões relativas à sexualidade. Para responder a
esta questão central, buscaram-se depoimentos orais e escritos a respeito de três temáticas: o beijo nas relações, as relações homossexuais e a gravidez na adolescência. A estratégia para promover o debate foi a realização de oficinas com uso de material audiovisual, com recortes de cenas de quatro telenovelas da Rede Globo de Televisão referentes ao assunto da pesquisa. O trabalho descreve que circunstâncias levaram a pesquisadora à escolha do tema, delineando então os caminhos a percorrer. Subsidiado por bases teóricas, foi realizado um estudo sobre adolescência, período da vida em que se encontram os sujeitos da pesquisa, analisadas as vertentes da educação sexual no Brasil, sistematizadas por teóricos brasileiros e se mostrou a importância da televisão e da telenovela no processo de educação sexual. Como resultado, conseguiu-se elaborar um diagnóstico a respeito
da forma de perceber e pensar de adolescentes sobre os temas escolhidos, verificando quais vertentes da educação sexual são preponderantes em seu modo de pensar. A conclusão, que na verdade funciona como sugestão, é que empreenda um trabalho voltado a uma Educação Sexual Emancipatória, de forma intencional, comprometida em promover a autonomia do educando para que ele próprio possa
superar padrões de comportamentos hierarquizados e estereotipados, vencer preconceitos e tabus, o que só é possível por meio do entendimento dos aspectos sócio-histórico-políticos que influíram na construção da educação sexual do mundo ocidental. A pesquisa qualitativa, de cunho dialético, foi feita por meio da pesquisaação, considerado o caminho ideal pelo motivo de a pesquisadora já atuar em sala
de aula com os adolescentes. A análise dos depoimentos orais e escritos foi feita conforme o método de análise de conteúdo. A análise pôde ser enucleada em três categorias, assim denominadas: a) telenovelas como um rico caminho pedagógico para um rico trabalho sobre sexualidade b) o normal ainda dita regras de como os adolescentes ainda são os mesmos como nossos pais , c) a esperança expressa
pela contradição. Tais categorias evidenciam a importância do uso pedagógico dos meios de comunicação no processo de educação sexual dos jovens, educação essa que se tem revelado bastante conservadora, mas com vestígios de esperança de um novo olhar sobre a sexualidade

A prostituição televisionada em "Gabriela" : tempo presente, história e política no audiovisual brasileiro de 1975Martins, Débora Souza Cruz 30 June 2014 (has links)
The present study describes and analyze how the |prostitution´s world| was presented to TV viewers through de first version of the soap opera |Gabriela|, displayed by RedeGlobo in the year of 1975. Beyond the audio-visual as the primary source, we used magazines and newspapers of that time ( magazine Amiga, magazine Contigo, magazine Veja and newspaper Folha de São Paulo) to comprehend a little of the repercussion of the teledramaturgy. We also aimed, through the speech and actions of the characters, understand and contextualize the time that |Gabriela| was produced and televised. To seize this, we analyze the intern language and the mechanisms presents in the soap opera, trying to understand the reasons of the adaptations and omissions occurred. We think that like any other type of historic documents, the audio-visual sources reveal a kind of reality, porting tensions and representations and are produced with internationalities. Therefore, the simple fact that |Gabriela| being inserted in a spectacle of entertainment, doesn t make it invalid as a historical discourse. / O presente estudo descreve e analisa como o mundo da prostituição foi apresentado ao telespectador através da primeira versão da telenovela Gabriela , exibida pela Rede Globo no ano de 1975. Além do audiovisual como principal fonte, utilizamos revistas e jornais de época (revista Amiga, revista Contigo, revista Veja e jornal Folha de São Paulo) para compreendermos um pouco sobre a repercussão da teledramaturgia. Buscamos também, por meio das falas e ações dos personagens, entender e contextualizar a época em que Gabriela foi produzida e televisionada. Para isso, analisamos a linguagem interna e os mecanismos presentes na telenovela, procurando compreender os motivos das adaptações e omissões recorrentes. Entendemos que assim como qualquer outro tipo de documento histórico, as fontes audiovisuais revelam uma dada realidade, são portadoras de tensões e representações e são produzidas com intencionalidades. Sendo assim, o simples fato de Gabriela ser inserida em um espetáculo de entretenimento, não faz com que a mesma seja invalidada como discurso histórico.

Televisie en resepsiestudie : 'n analise van kykersinterpretasie van die seep-opera Egoli - Plek van GoudPitout, Magriet 04 1900 (has links)
Hierdie proefskrif is 'n verkennende ondersoek na kykers se interpretasie van die seep-opera Egoli - Piek
van Goud. Die basiese vertrekpunt van die studie is die teks-leserontmoeting waar gelyke status aan die boodskap ('n teks) en die ontvanger ('n kyker) gegee word. Uit so 'n ontmoeting ontstaan kykers se interpretasies. Die tweeledige ondersoek plaas die proefskrif binne die teoretiese en metodologiese raamwerk van resepsiestudie om die komplekse interaksie tussen 'n teks en die ontvanger te ondersoek.
Die twee komponente word binne spesifieke historiese en kulturele kontekste geplaas, te wete die veranderende politieke en ideologiese klimaat in Suid-Afrika asook die sosio-kulturele en politieke kontekste van die deelnemers.
Die deelnemers van hierdie studie is groepe bruin-, swart- en witvroue. Groeponderhoude (fokusgroepe) is met ses groepe vroue tydens hul etensuur by die werkplek gevoer. Die onderhoude is rondom die volgende temas gestruktureer: romanse, identifikasie, parasosiale interaksie, sosiale interaksie, intertekstualiteit en Egoli as 'n forum vir die uitbeelding van Suid-Afrikaanse werklikhede.
Kykers se interpretasie van die temas is ontleed aan die hand van referensiele, onderhandelde en kritiese interpretasierame. Daar is gevind dat die verskillende kultuurgroepe in 'n groat mate dieselfde
interpretasierame gebruik in hul interpretasie van die verskillende temas. Die opvallendste verskil tussen die groepe is die wyse waarop die deelnemers die tema Egoli as 'n forum vir die uitbeelding van die SuidAfrikaanse werklikhede vertolk: as gevolg van verskillende sosio-kulturele en politieke omstandighede in Suid-Afrika het die deelnemers waarskynlik interpretasierame ontwikkel wat aan daardie omstandighede gekoppel kan word.
In die studie is aangetoon dat die hermeneutiek en resepsieteorie nuttige verklarings gee van die elemente in die seep-operateks wat kykersbetrokkenheid stimuleer en die proses van interpretasie. Die proses verloop soos volg: deelnemers het bepaalde verwagtings oor 'n program; hulle moet die uitgebeelde werklikheid(e) herken en die boodskappe dan toe-eien. Hierna word boodskappe 'n kultuur binnegedra deur middel van sosiale diskoers. Die teoretiese onderbou het voorts aan die lig gebring dat deelnemers se interaksie met
en interpretasie van Egoli 'n vorm van spel is. Empiriese bewyse is gevind dat die deelnemers op speelse wyse
• oor karakters 'skinder';
• spekuleer oor romantiese assosiasie;
• met karakters identifiseer; en
• parasosiale verhoudings met karakters aanknoop. / Text in Afrikaans / This thesis is an exploratory study of viewers' interpretation of the soap opera Egoli - Place of Gold. The basic point of departure is the text-viewer encounter where equal status is given to the message (text) and the recipient (viewer). Viewers' interpretations develop from this encounter. This dichotomous investigation places the thesis within the theoretical and methodological framework of reception study
where the complex interaction between a text and the recipient is examined. The two components are placed within specific historical and cultural contexts, namely the changing political and ideological climate in South Africa, as well as the socio-cultural and political contexts of the participants.
The groups participating in this study consisted of coloured, black and white women. Six group interviews (focus groups) were held with these women during their lunch-hour at the workplace. The interviews were structured around the following themes: romance, identification, parasocial interaction, social interaction,intertextuality and Egoli as a forum for the portrayal of South African realities.
Viewers' interpretations of these themes were analysed according to referential, negotiated and critical interpretative frames. It was largely found that the various cultural groups use the same interpretative
frames to interpret the various themes. The exception was the way participants interpreted Egoli as a forum for the portrayal of South African realities: because of different socio-cultural and political
circumstances in South Africa the participants may have developed interpretation frames that could be linked to these circumstances.
Hermeneutics and reception theory provide useful explanations of these elements in a soap opera text that stimulate viewers' involvement and the process of interpretation. This process proceeds as follows:
participants have specific expectations regarding a programme; they must recognise the realities depicted and then appropriate the messages. Thereafter messages are incorporated into a culture by means of social discourse. A further important theoretical finding was that the participants' interaction with and interpretation of Egoli takes the form of play. It was empirically determined in this study that participants playfully
• speculate about romantic association;
• engage in gossip about characters;
• identify with characters; and
• develop parasocial relationships with characters. / Summaries in English and Afrikaans / Communication Science / D. Litt. et Phil. (Communication Science)

Rejecting the Page, Inciting Visuality: Staging 'Woyzeck' in a Mediatized CultureConway, Elisha 14 January 2013 (has links)
The influence of new media on theatrical practice over the past fifty years has spurred a movement towards theatrical forms which are increasingly organized around the sensory elements of performance. This change is most noticeable in the visual approaches to theatre, and it has produced what I have labeled a theatre of visuality. This thesis argues that the tendencies for visualization found in visual media have extensively marked the performance strategies of contemporary theatre practice, resulting in a shift away from the logocentric dramatic text and towards theatre performance organized around the visual.
Looking at four contemporary productions of Georg Buchner’s Woyzeck –Thomas Ostermeier’s Woyzeck (2005), Vesturport’s Woyzeck (2005), Robert Wilson’s Woyzeck (2000), and Josef Nadj’s Woyzeck ou l’Ébauche du Vertige (1994)– this thesis produces a preliminary typology of four distinct visualities/theatrical forms which make up the theatre of visuality: hyperrealism, synesthesia, superficiality, and visual narration.
This thesis contributes to the conceptualization and understanding of postdramatic theatre by linking the theatre’s rejection of the text to the increased centrality of the visual in performance, and by tracing these shifts to the influence of visual media.

Formatting and Change in East Asian Television Industries: Media Globalization and Regional DynamicsLim, Wei Ling Tania Patricia January 2005 (has links)
Television is increasingly both global and local. Those television industries discussed in this thesis transact in an extensive neo-network of flows in talents, financing, and the latest forms of popular culture. These cities attempt to become media capitals but their status waxes and wanes, depending on their success in exporting their Asian media productions. What do marital arts dramas, interactive game-shows, children's animation and teenage idol soap operas from East Asian television industries have in common? Through the systematic use of TV formatting strategies, these television genres have become the focus for indigenous cultural entrepreneurs located in the East Asian cities of Hong Kong, Singapore and Taipei to turn their local TV programmes into tradable culture. This thesis is a re-consideration of the impact of media globalisation on Asian television that re-imagines a new global media order. It suggests that there is a growing shift in perception and trade among once-peripheral television industries that they may be slowly de-centring Hollywood's dominance by inserting East Asian popular entertainment into familiar formats or cultural spaces through embracing global yet local cultures of production. While TV formats like Survivor, Millionaire, Big Brother and American Idol have become profitable and powerful franchises globally, in East Asia, the size of TV format trade is actually eclipsed by the regional trade in East Asian popular cultural commodities from martial arts novels and films, manga and romantic fiction, to popular music. These commodities have become the source of remaking local television culture into tradable cultures as local TV programmes use formatting practices to circulate within their region. The many faces of formatting in television are explored through four case studies - from Hong Kong (TVB's Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre), Singapore (Robert Chua Productions' Everyone Wins, Peach Blossom Media's Tomato Twins) and Taipei (Comic Ritz Production's Meteor Garden). Conceptualised as Asian media productions, these TV programmes are sites for examining individual agency, the network flows of popular culture and structural changes of their respective broadcasting fields. This thesis argues that TV formatting practices can become a currency for neo-networked media producers to create a medium of cultural exchange that sets up the possibility for a common market for cultural trade in East Asia. However, the ease with which TV formatting practices and re-sale of TV programmes are copied lower barriers for competition and often this tends toward over production. Over-exposure kills many new genres of production and discourages investment in the research and development component of creating TV formats for trade. Change in East Asian television industries is also aided by media conglomeration, global access through satellite TV, the Internet and increasingly digital entertainment, media de-regulation and pro-development policies. A number of factors and conditions that accompany the rise of TV formatting in East Asia (such as the role of independents vis-a-vis big local players, the emergence of copyright issues and marketing celebrities) contribute to the innovations that result from adapting formatting practices to local contexts, and suggest how each city's television industry attempts to address the rise of tradable cultural commodities that are increasingly made for pan-Asian consumption.
