Many recent books and articles have aimed to account for the recent financial crisis. They have exposed the facts, identified the causes, and assigned responsibility. They have proposed solutions to prevent a similar crisis to happen in the future. The debate is still ongoing, revealing a process of History in the making. My dissertation builds on this debate, but it does not contribute to it. I do not try to understand who is responsible for this crisis. I instead try to grasp how responsibility for this crisis was constructed. I explore the production of - and response to - a discourse of accusation. To study accusation discourses, I conducted a media analysis of three main national newspapers: The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and USA Today. I show how a blame game dominated by Democrats participated in the crystallization on Wall Street’s responsibility. To study responses to accusation discourses, I conducted thirty-three interviews in three Wall Street banks from Fall 2008 to Summer 2010. I show that bankers became increasingly defensive over time, while never accepting any personal responsibility for the crisis. Similarly, they reject the label of the “greedy banker.” Overall I argue that the complexity of modern social arrangement loosens the intrinsic connection between responsibility and accountability.

The diploma thesis Media picture of building the Berlin wall - Rudé právo, The New York Times, The Times addresses the events associated with the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 and primarily presents the analysis of newspaper articles connected to the Berlin Wall topic. The issue of the Berlin Wall is portrayed before its construction, during the construction and immediately after it. In the "Teoretická východiska" chapter, the concepts used as a basis of the subsequent analysis of selected newspapers are explained. The first part of the thesis presents the historical and political circumstances of the Berlin Wall construction, especially the development of the Cold War between the representatives of East and West. The analysis of the three selected newspaper titles is preceded by a narrative interview with a foreign correspondent from Rudé právo. His statements serve as an illustration of the former Berlin atmosphere. In the analysis of the newspapers Rudé právo, The New York Times and The Times, emphasis is placed on the article contents, presentation style, theme diversity, trends and information value of the presented news. The output of the analysis is a comparison of all three selected titles and is based on the given theoretical grounds. This thesis is meant to serve as an example...

No. of bitstreams: 1 Marcel de Freitas Santos.pdf: 1326474 bytes, checksum: 71ae88950f3ebc0272cf82f2fbfbaecb (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-11-27 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / The objective of this master’s degree thesis is the examination of the persuasive process that runs through an editorial published in the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo and another one in The New York Times concerning the impeachment process which removed Brazil’s president Dilma Rousseff from office in 2016. The research focuses on the issue of the representation of the event as well as their social actors in both newspapers, analyzing the correspondence between the choices of certain linguistic forms and the ideologies and relations of power that underlie these forms. Guided by proposals for Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and with the support of the analytical context offered by Systemic-Functional Linguistics (SFL), the project examines, in particular, two dimensions of the grammar of the clause: transitivity and modality/appraisal, respectively associated to the ideational and interpersonal metafunctions of language, according to SFL. Through this this theoretical-methodological support, it is attempted to unravel both explicit and implicit persuasive processes on which newspapers count to persuade their readers. For this purpose, the research should answer the following questions: (a) how does a transitivity and modality/ appraisal contribute to the persuasive process in editorials? (b) how can the underlying ideology of the two newspapers be revealed? The research shows that the Brazilian editorial "Muitos anos em um" blames government institutions for the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff, whereas the American editorial "Brazil’s ousted president" attributes responsibility to former president Dilma Roussef. The support of SFL through its ideational and interpersonal metafunctions, as well as complementary theories, were paramount to characterize the persuasion that pervades the editorials to achieve the alignment of the reader with the newspapers’ positions / O objetivo desta dissertação de mestrado é o exame do processo persuasivo que percorre um editorial publicado na Folha de S. Paulo e outro no The New York Times referentes ao impeachment – que destituiu a presidente do Brasil, Dilma Rousseff, em 2016. A pesquisa focaliza a questão da representação do evento e de seus atores sociais nos dois jornais, analisando a correspondência entre as escolhas de certas formas linguísticas e as ideologias e relações de poder que subjazem a essas formas. Guiada por propostas de Análise do Discurso Crítica (ADC) e com o apoio básico do contexto analítico oferecido pela Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (LSF), esta dissertação examina, em especial, duas dimensões da gramática da oração: a transitividade e a modalidade/avaliatividade, que são associadas respectivamente às metafunções ideacional e interpessoal da linguagem, nos termos da LSF. Por meio desse apoio teórico-metodológico, além de teorias complementares, tenta-se desvendar a persuasão tanto explícita quanto implícita de que se valem os jornais para persuadir seus leitores. Para tanto, a pesquisa deve responder à seguintes perguntas: (a) de que modo a transitividade e a modalidade/avaliatividade contribuem no processo persuasivo dos editoriais? (b) como a ideologia subjacente aos dois jornais pode ser revelada? A pesquisa mostra que o editorial brasileiro “Muitos anos em um” responsabiliza as instituições governamentais pelo impeachment de Dilma Rousseff, enquanto que o americano “Brazil’s ousted president”, concentra a responsabilidade na pessoa da ex-presidente. O apoio das metafunções ideacional e interpessoal da LSF, além de teorias complementares, foram fundamentais para caracterizar a persuasão que perpassa os editoriais para conseguir o alinhamento do leitor na linha de raciocínio dos jornais

Volunteer tourism is a globally, popular and well-known field in which anyone may participate. During recent years the industry has increasingly received some criticism, in contrast to the otherwise quite commonly positive view of it. Hence, this thesis is taking a closer look at the industry and the discourse surrounding it and how the public opinion has changed during the last years. It will bring into light the impact volunteer tourism has both on the local communities and the volunteer tourists themselves. This will be done with respect to the following cases; positive, critical and seeing both sides of the discourse. The data derives from secondary and tertiary sources, the majority from articles from four of the world’s biggest newspapers. Post-Development theory will be used to identify the ideas regarding the discourse, which will be done with an approach of structured, focused comparison and critical discourse analysis. Additionally it will aim to identify the pros and cons with volunteer tourism and discuss why one of the perspectives might require more attention than it has had up until now. Significantly though, it will aim to provide the reader with an overall and objective view of the field.

This study is an examination of the ideologies present in celebrity substance abuse news stories in The New York Times online from December 2012 to December 2013. I analyzed news stories by employing a critical discourse analysis to determine the dominant discourses in celebrity substance abuse news articles. Drawing from cultivation and framing theories, celebrity substance abuse stories in The New York Times are presented in a limited, individual fashion with relatively little effort when it comes to recovery. Rather than treating substance abuse as a serious social issue and a medical condition, it is presented as an individual, moral problem. Moreover, recovery from substance abuse is presented as a personal choice which involves very little to no assistance and is easy to acquire.

Hos andra två tidningar har det varit svårt att bekräfta en sådan status, då Oslobodjenjes rapportering visade följa en bosnisk politisk linje, medan det hos Dagens Nyheter uppenbarades ett NATO-perspektiv.</p>
