Tuning out the troubles in southern Ireland : revisionist history, censorship and problematic Protestants

Meehan, Niall January 2015 (has links)
This thesis is an examination of the influence and impact of the ‘Troubles’ in Northern Ireland, post 1968, on the practice of Irish history, on southern Irish broadcast media and on the southern Irish modernisation process. I will examine the uneasy and contested transition in systems of hegemony in a society where the state is not coterminous with perceptions of nationhood, where society is anxiously suspended between conservation of its existence and popular nationalist aspirations, where southern economic dependency interacted uneasily with northern political instability and sectarianism. The thesis examines the ‘Ulsterisation’ of the War of Independence by some historians and its aftermath as an ideological project. It pays particular attention, using the case-study method, to the imposition of a sectarian character on republican forces during the war of independence by the highly influential Newfoundland historian Peter Hart, and will explain why this research is ideologically problematic within Irish historiography. I will link this to (in a second case-study) the project undertaken in the early 1970s by Irish government minister (also an academic historian and political scientist) Conor Cruise O’Brien to undermine and eradicate from popular awareness secular anti-imperialist aspects of Irish nationalist consciousness, primarily through, in case-study three, the imposition of broadcasting censorship and support for repression. I question O’Brien’s positing of a ‘Catholic nationalism’ as an overarching basis for Irish statehood by, in case-study four, an examination the largely unexplored socio-economic position of Protestants in southern Ireland and the forms of social control imposed on and within that community. The thesis examines how official reaction to the conflict combined repression and broadcasting censorship during the 1970s to revise popular perceptions of Irish history and Irish society. Control of understanding of the present was combined with attempts to take control of perceptions of the past, in order to circumscribe the parameters of what is feasible in the present, so as to preserve the socio-economic status quo. It specifically explores the impact of the post 1968 Northern Ireland conflict on: • The attempt by proponents of Irish revisionist historiography to portray Irish resistance to British rule as ‘Catholic nationalism’ and as a mirror image generally of Ulster unionist sectarianism; in the context of • The simultaneous transformational change of economic direction in the southern Irish economy and society, which imparted to this project increased impetus, opportunity and political scope.

Vliv digitalizace na české mediální právo a právní prostředí / The influence of digitization on the Czech media law and legal environment

Zápotocký, Jan January 2011 (has links)
The diploma thesis The influence of digitization on the Czech media law and legal environment deals with the transformation of media law and legal environment during the transition from analogue to digital broadcasting in the Czech Republic. The text describes and evaluates change of the broadcasting legislation, and emphasizes not only the actual changes in legal regulations, but also the legislative process and influences that have affected the final text of the laws. In the introduction thesis describes the development of existing legislation, both domestic and the acquis communautaire. In further parts it answers the question how relevant, understandable and conceptual the change in the media legislation was, how these changes correspond to the current technical and organizational requirements of the media market and how the process have been influenced by jurisdictional dispute between Council for Radio and Television Broadcasting and Czech Telecommunication Office. In the second half space is devoted to the licensing procedure of new digital television and following litigation as well as a comparison with Slovak regulatory framework. Regarding the major changes of the legislation the author recommends adjustments de lege ferenda.

Multiculturalism and the De-politicization of Blackness in Canada: the case of FLOW 93.5 FM

McKenzie, Kisrene 11 December 2009 (has links)
This thesis presents a case study of Canada’s first Black owned radio station, FLOW 93.5 FM, to demonstrate how official multiculturalism, in its formulation and implementation, negates Canada’s history of slavery and racial inequality. As a response to diversity, multiculturalism shifts the focus away from racial inequality to cultural difference. Consequently, Black self-determination is unauthorized. By investigating FLOW’s radio license applications, programming and advertisements, this thesis reveals just how the vision of a Black focus radio station dissolved in order to fit the practical and ideological framework of multiculturalism so that Blackness could be easily commodified. This thesis concludes that FLOW is not a Black radio station but instead is a multicultural radio station – one that specifically markets a de-politicized Blackness. As a result, multiculturalism poses serious consequences for imagining and engaging with Blackness as a politics that may address the needs of Black communities in Canada.
