Mediální konstrukce reality na příkladu MS v hokeji - Bratislava 2011 / The medial construction of reality: example 2011 IIHF World ChampioshipStaňová, Petra January 2012 (has links)
This thesis deals with designing of reality during the Ice Hockey World Championship 2011 in Bratislava, for which Robert Zaruba devised a unique project built on the myth of friendship and cohesion of the Czechs and the Slovaks.The theoretical basis of this work is the social construction of reality, according to which the reality in our minds is shaped by society. In the analysis of the structure of the broadcast channel CT 4, I am trying to find out how much does ice hockey push on viewer's mind and what is the amount of the Czech Republic and Slovakia national teams involvement. As a means of construction and reconstruction of the fictional world, the world created by its author, narrative is applied. The narratives typical for the structure of the CT4 are descibed in the next part in order to find a narrative that could serve as a template for the narrative of the championship. The final form of the narrative is shaped both by the narrator (presenter,commentator), who verbally describes what is happening and also the director whois responsible for the visual composition of the story. Features used in brodcasting, whose final analysis leads to the ability of distinction of the characters creating on the basis of similarity and context of highlighted object or those having arisen from anagreement among...

An investigation to explore the impact of construction of reality on motivation in the industry : a narrative investigation / Irene SteynbergSteynberg, Johanna Dorothea Irene January 2001 (has links)
The objective of this research study is to attempt to determine whether the realities or life-stories
that successful' employees construct with input from both their cultures of origin (external culture) and the
organisational (internal) culture impact on their state of motivation in the workplace.
This mini-dissertation is approached from both a theoretical and practical point of view. Related
theories and perspectives are explored in an attempt to arrive at an understanding of the philosophy
pertaining to construction of reality and motivation in the workplace. Individual narrative discussions were
conducted with successful employees, also referred to as respondents, in the research and development
division of a South African target industry in an effort to determine whether internal and/or external locus
of control impacted on construction of reality and subsequently on work-related motivation. The results
from a motivation questionnaire were also incorporated in the research study in order to try to determine
whether it supported the findings from the narrative discussions.
It can be concluded from this study that successful employees are mostly also motivated
employees and that both their cultures of origin and the organisational culture impact on their construction
of reality regarding motivation in the workplace. Furthermore, this explanation revealed that an employee's
construction of reality definitely impacts on his3 motivation. It is also evident from this research study that
these employees have an internal and/or external locus of control. It seemed insignificant whether the
respondents were motivated by internal or external factors, but what distinguished them from the other
employees were the finding that they were in fact motivated by some or other factor.
This study confirmed that different motivational factors impact on different employees as a result of
their uniquely constructed realities regarding work-related motivation and success. The challenge for
organisations therefore lies in determining which specific, culturally determined internal and/or external
factors motivate individual employees. This will enable them to instigate, sustain or increase the
motivation of their employees. / Thesis (M.A. (Sociology))--Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, 2002.

Previous issue date: 2015-02-25 / Considering that journalism assists the construction of reality rather than reflect it, this thesis
seeks to show how Newspapers from the state of Paraiba build the notion of politics. For this
purpose, we analyze the Paraiba political journalism in an essentially vital context for politics:
elections. Specifically the race for state governor in 2010. With the help of the
phenomenological approach of Alfred Schutz, we observed that newspapers understand very
well the subjects of their political coverage. But, also, these same papers present state politics
as a broader object than it appears to be. The political journalism dedicated to the State's
actions and the interaction of its main characters is therefore only a part of what the papers
understand as politics. The other part, more complex and less apparent, is related to
sociocultural constructions that permeate the journalistic production context. Therefore, to get
to the proposed analyses, we were dedicated to examine the components of these sociocultural
constructions: the notion of politics as interpreted by three authors - Aristotle, Max Weber and
Hannah Arendt - how the political imaginary of a place is permeated by sociocultural aspects,
the characteristics of political journalism and the theoretical perspectives that include
journalism in a constructivist sense. The disposition of these subjects is justified by
understanding that journalism is driven from technical and news production rules, but is also
in a constant interaction with the environment in which it is produced as well as reframes and
reproduces the results of these interactions on their content. In this sense, we use the
methodological framework supported by Discourse Analysis to grasp and understand how
these results are explained in the news and how they make their own notions of policy. To
develop this study were collected in total, 23 stories, 15 from the “Jornal da Paraíba” and 8
from “Correio da Paraíba”. The gathering of these materials took place from July to
November of 2010 and took into account factors such as incidence of speeches of leading
candidates of the elections we analyze here and the relevance of these speeches for the
proposed analysis. With the aforementioned information, we present an analysis of the
meanings of politics built by the newspapers of Paraíba during this period: the common good
of Aristotle, the power of Weber and the freedom of Arendt, each occupying a specific
function in these senses. / Considerando o jornalismo um exercício que, longe de refletir o “real”, auxilia na construção
da realidade, esta dissertação procura apresentar como jornais paraibanos constroem a noção
de política. Para isso, analisamos o jornalismo político paraibano em um contexto
essencialmente vital para a área política: as eleições, especificamente as estaduais de 2010, na
Paraíba. Com a ajuda da abordagem fenomenológica de Alfred Schutz, observamos que a
cobertura política, por um lado, compreende bem a política que lhe serve de objeto de relato,
mas também apresenta essa política como um objeto mais amplo do que aparenta ser. O
jornalismo político voltado para as ações do Estado e para a interação de seus principais
personagens é, então, apenas uma parte do que os jornais compreendem do que é a política. A
outra parte, mais complexa e menos aparente, está relacionada com construções socioculturais
que permeiam o contexto de produção jornalística. Por isso, para chegarmos à análise
proposta, nos dedicamos a examinar os componentes dessas construções: a noção de política
como foi interpretada por três autores – Aristóteles, Max Weber e Hannah Arendt –, a forma
como o imaginário político de um local é permeado pelos aspectos socioculturais, as
características do jornalismo político e as perspectivas teóricas que englobam o jornalismo em
um sentido construtivista. A disposição desses assuntos se justifica por compreendermos que
o jornalismo é conduzido a partir de técnicas e regras de produção de notícias, mas também
está em constante interação com o meio em que é produzido. E ressignifica e reproduz os
resultados dessas interações em seu conteúdo. Nesse sentido, utilizamos o arcabouço
metodológico sustentado pela Análise do Discurso para captar e compreender como esses
resultados se explicitam nas notícias e constroem noções próprias de política. Para o
desenvolvimento deste trabalho foram coletadas, ao todo, 23 notícias, sendo 15 do Jornal da
Paraíba e 8 do Correio da Paraíba. A coleta dessas matérias aconteceu no período de julho a
novembro de 2010 e levou em consideração fatores como incidência de falas dos principais
candidatos das eleições aqui analisadas e a pertinência dessas falas para a análise proposta. De
posse de todas essas informações, apresentamos uma análise de quais os sentidos de política
que os jornais paraibanos construíram ao longo desse período: o bem comum de Aristóteles, o
poder de Weber e a liberdade de Arendt, cada um ocupando uma função específica nesses
sentidos.

Analýza diskurzu o koronavirové krizi v názorových rubrikách českých online médií / Analysis of the coronavirus crisis discourse in the opinion sections of Czech online mediaKarel, Kryštof January 2021 (has links)
This diploma thesis examines how the first, spring wave of the coronavirus pandemic and its associated aspects were presented by Czech media, specifically by the opinion sections of reputable mainstream online media in three three-days intervals in different phases of this period. Its main premise is that the way media refer to a social reality can significantly influence this reality, its theoretical part is therefore focused on the reciprocal relationship between media and society, mainly the social construction of reality and discourse, besides also describing the pandemic itself and the trends in the usage of media during the analysed period. The research itself was made using the discourse analysis method. The central chapter of the thesis presents key findings in ten subchapters focused on the main discursive tendencies, common language elements and social phenomena being referred to. The interference of the COVID-19 discourse with the ones about the government restrictions, economic development and the assumed Chinese origin of the virus was salient, the parallels with other diseases or historic events or eras were also common. Metaphors, neologisms, fallacies or metadiscourse reflections appeared in the analysed texts as well. The dynamics of the discourse that was varying depending on the...

Reprezentace anarchokapitalismu v českých médiích / Representation of anarchocapitalism in Czech mediaMika, Jindřich January 2021 (has links)
The goal of this diploma thesis is to conduct a thorough research of the Czech public debate on anarcho-capitalism and anarcho-capitalists through media communication, to analyze the media representation of anarcho-capitalism using quantitative content analysis and to provide a momentary capture of speakers, actors, topics and contexts. The study first focuses on the theoretical basis of anarcho-capitalism, its practice in the Czech Republic and the theory of portraying reality in the media from a social constructivist point of view. Then it focuses on research of media reports on anarcho-capitalism or anarcho-capitalists published in the Czech print and online media from the beginning of 2010 to the end of 2020. The results show how the representation of anarcho-capitalism in the media has changed over time and present the main topics and contexts with which anarcho-capitalism was mentioned in the Czech media.

The Aesthetics of News: Narrative Construction and Media Illiteracy in Contemporary IndiaNanjundaiah, Shashidhar 01 August 2023 (has links) (PDF)
Amidst the public’s declining trust in news, media prosumers—that is, media consumers who have also become producers of mediated texts—are not equipped with any credible alternative mechanism to better understand the world around them. Prior academic studies of news and its delivery have not adequately explored the ideological framework we need to confront this frightening situation. This dissertation does so. I problematize the narration of news as an aesthetic process. Such mass-mediated narration stitches together our world in ideological ways. A tidal flow of stories highlights and obscures selected truths in a frenzy of “new” news cycles, the frequency of which intensifies with each new delivery platform. Social media platforms, which peddle short videos, need to be understood using new analytical methods, given that the aesthetic and narrative dimensions of such audio-visual texts are so far removed from the pace, delivery, and meaning of 19th-century objects like newspapers. In the current moment, I theorize the process through which an incident is converted first into a media event, then a media spectacle, and finally into myth. My work breaks new ground in mass communication studies by understanding this aesthetic and narrative process as mystification, a formulation I borrow from contemporary philosophers, particularly Cornel West. As an aesthetic process, mediated narration presents what the power brokers of a society deem desirable, while evacuating that which contradicts their ideological position. In this dissertation, I theorize this process in terms of “absenting” as a narrative process and “invisibilization” as an aesthetic maneuver. Aesthetic value undergirds the narration of the news by falsely presenting certainty and consensus to media prosumers. To accomplish this, I employ Theodor Adorno’s aesthetic theory to explain how news narration routinizes values of visibility, forming a discursive field that envelops the media prosumer. Pierre Bourdieu’s habitus best explains this theoretical field. An important implication of my work concerns the current obsession with “media literacy.” I argue that media literacy has not adequately explained the ideological nature of mediated narration, shifting the blame for a disinformation society from the structural forces of textual production onto a purportedly “illiterate” public. I destabilize the current understanding of media literacy by revealing the ideological implications of the aesthetic and narrative construction of what both practitioners and scholars of the news reduce to a binary notion of truths and falsehoods. The domain to which I apply this theoretical apparatus is the narration of majoritarian nationalism. Postcolonial governments use nationalism as an emotional trigger to co-opt their citizens into participating in the modernization project. Current institutions use rationality to showcase their nation as modern. The general narratives I have just described are in fact gleaned from three disturbing media events in recent India. My nation’s shift in recent years from a pluralistic democracy to a majoritarian, authoritarian state makes it a timely location for inquiry. In my three case studies, news narration showcases the desirable and hiding undesirable elements; depicts farmers in a negative light, as obstacles to modernization; and discredits resistant voices and deems them illegitimate individuals with smartphones or unethical practitioners of journalism. First, I analyze a media spectacle created in the city of Ahmedabad in 2020 by Narendra Modi’s government for Donald Trump’s visit. The government showcased this Potemkin Village as an example of the modernization project, a false construction that illuminates presentable elements of the city while walling off the unpresentable. I evaluate eight visual moments of this event and draw attention to the aesthetic facets of visibilization and invisibilization. Second, I examine narrative performances in a news-based television show anchored by Arnab Goswami, who analyzes murders involving politicians and farmers in a small rural road on which farmers marched and a convoy of vehicles led by the son of a central minister ran over them from behind, inviting retaliation. The aesthetic practices of this coverage destabilize in a chilling way who are the perpetrators and victims in these stories. In the third event, I analyze moments of journalistic struggle in a story of the police forcibly burning the body of a victim of gang-rape. Four men of an upper caste allegedly gang-raped a lower-caste woman in a village, and her dead body was brought back from a hospital in New Delhi. The media followed, and their cameras serendipitously captured the alleged destruction of evidence by the police. My dissertation concludes with questions about what cultural capital would be required in a world in which a media prosumer would be able to read and interpret the aesthetic and narrative presentation of such mass media objects. I conclude by understanding how the visibilized and invisibilized maneuvers of our current news media lead to the construction, not of media literacy, but instead, of “media illiteracy.” It is my theoretical conclusion that demystification is the best process to undo the debilitating effects of this dire situation. My dissertation ends with recommendations for completely transformed media literacy programs that deliver to communities, and specifically not individuals in a classroom, pedagogical tools rooted in critical theory.

New Reality Resembles Old: An Examination of the American Public's Social Construction of Reality Following September 11, 2001 Terrorist AttacksStoutmeyer, Stacie L. 05 1900 (has links)
This thesis examines whether the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks caused a significant, lasting change in the American public's social construction of reality. A framework of everyday reality was created which focused on beliefs, behaviors, and cultural institutions in the United States. Data regarding specific beliefs and behaviors was collected from numerous survey sources, and content analysis was performed on media literature from September 11, 2001 to September 11, 2003. Findings from this study show that beliefs examined did change, while behaviors on similar topics did not. These finding represents an interesting paradox to be evaluated in future studies. Cultural institutions, as related to the public's knowledge of and relationship with each, also appeared little changed. Therefore, while some aspects displayed adjustment, this study cannot conclusively state that American public's social construction of reality experienced a "new reality" paradigm shift as proclaimed by the media immediately following the attacks.
