Yes / Drawing upon concepts of expressive equipment and body image, the aim of this study is to explore how men diagnosed and treated for penile cancer construct their penis and its surgical disfigurement (penectomy). Using maximum variation sampling with the intention to acquire the broadest range of experiences of stage of disease and treatment, 27 cisgender men (aged 48-83, x=63) who had surgical treatment consented for their data to be archived for analysis. From a dramaturgical perspective, the constructionist thematic analysis explored direct and indirect talk about the penis after surgery. The analysis showed that through graphic and sequential narratives of dismemberment revealed, participants constructed a post-surgery period in which they both wanted and did-not-want to see their penis. Additionally, participants constructed themselves managing difficult emotions through others and seeing themselves being rejected by a potentially desiring (female) Other. The findings extend research on male genitals by showing how the post-surgery penis can function as something hidden but visceral and traumatic when revealed. Importantly, this paper illustrates body image as expressive equipment where body and identity are formed in the image of manhood, which is an intersubjective (sexual) object between self and other. / This paper presents independent research commissioned by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) under its Research for Patient Benefit (RfPB) Programme (Grant Reference Number PB-PG-0808-17158). / Research Development Fund Publication Prize Award winner, October 2019.

Social movement scholars have contended that considerable research on protest policing has been done, but research testing multiple theories in recent decades is lacking. To resolve this gap in the literature, this study integrates major paradigms in repression research and theories of policing styles around a dramaturgical approach to collective action, identifying factors influencing violence at social protests in the United States from 2006-2009. Conceiving of social protest as a form of political and symbolic action, I maintain that social actors and the qualities of their actions and immediate environment importantly influence a protest event's characteristics and outcomes. Specifically, I code for three violent outcomes—arrests, police violence, and any violence—and one measure of threat—police presence. I identify four components of the protest event which influence these outcomes—actors (e.g., authorities, protesters, and counterprotesters), enemies (e.g., the target of protesters' claims), the stage (e.g., qualities of place and space where a protest occurs), and protest performance (e.g., protest size and specific tactics employed by actors). Thus, this research focuses on how qualities of police, protester, and counterprotester performances intersect to influence violence at protest events. Data for this project were collected from multiple sources from 2006-2009. Information on protest events was collected by content coding of newspaper articles in the Los Angeles Times and New York Times. Information on community policing styles was derived from lists of funding for agencies participating in the U.S. Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program. In some instances the results of this study show that certain characteristics leading to police presence and violence at social protests in the U.S. persist from research conducted on earlier decades—presence of African Americans or counterprotesters, protester use of "more confrontational" tactics and/or multiple tactics, and the damaging of property by protesters or counterprotesters. However, my findings also contradict previous studies, because I find that: (1) larger protests are less likely to be policed or result in violence; (2) social and cultural targets are more likely predictors of policing and violence rather than government or economic ones; and, (3) specific social movement families and tactical types influence protest event outcomes differently. I also found that community policing styles had no effect on protest event policing. These findings are important because they show how a protest event's symbolic nature influences policing and violent outcomes. / Ph. D.

In this project I explored composing wordless music within the jazz genre inspired by a Norwegian folklore: the story of Trollveggen. Influenced by composers like Meredith Monk and Maurice Ravel I wrote six programmatic compositions. Each piece was thoroughly crafted using specific keywords and rules derived from Patrik N. Juslin’s research on the emotional impact of musical elements. Additionally, I incorporated insights from Alf Gabrielsson and Erik Lindström’s study The Role of Structure in the Musical Expression of Emotions, and used Kate Hevner’s research to further deepen my compositional approach. I discuss jazz vocal performance as a non-verbal storytelling method, incorporating vocal extended techniques. I also explore how I navigated between creative constraints and artistic freedom, within the compositional framework, to bring each composition to life. Reflecting on this process, I examine its profound impact on my musical and personal growth. Through these compositions, I aim to evoke a meaningful emotional connection with the audience, inviting them to interpret the narrative in their own unique way. / <p><strong>Framförda kompositioner:</strong><strong></strong></p><p><em>Møre og Romsdal</em> - S.

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the theatrical landscape, prompting theatre artists to reinvent how they connect with audiences and each other in physical spaces. While research has delved into post-pandemic theatre making, much of this area remains unexplored, particularly concerning young people, how the loss of community has impacted them, and what society can do to help. This thesis investigates how professional directors and dramaturgs can effectively engage young people in theatre making post-pandemic by drawing on three specific productions — Camelot and Camelittle, WROL (Without Rule of Law), and Alice and the Wonderland Parties. Utilizing theories drawn from The Art of Active Dramaturgy by Lenora Inez Brown and Directing Young People in Theatre by Samantha Lane — this thesis examines how dramaturgical collaboration can be implemented to foster community and positive relationships among young participants in the theatre-making process. The research in this thesis argues that by employing dramaturgical collaboration in the production process, young people can form meaningful connections with their peers, combating the isolation experienced during the pandemic. Beyond the pandemic context, this type of collaboration offers young people avenues for deeper engagement with the theatrical text itself. This thesis contributes to the discourse on post-pandemic theatre-making by providing practical insights into cultivating connection and community among young participants. It highlights the importance of dramaturgical collaboration as an enrichment tool in theatre making and fostering meaningful relationships in a post-pandemic world.

L’écriture dramatique contemporaine est souvent tournée vers le mythe grec tragique comme source d’inspiration. Or, le concept de tragique est loin d’être évident, tantôt compris dans un sens existentiel, étroitement lié à la pensée philosophique allemande du XIXe siècle qui lui adonné naissance, tantôt dans un sens esthétique, produit de son rapport étroit au genre dramatique de la tragédie. La présente étude interroge la question du tragique dans des écritures dramatiques contemporaines d’origine différente : plus précisément, nous abordons douze oeuvres dramatiques, françaises et grecques, qui couvrent la seconde moitié du XXe siècle au sens large, et que caractérise l’usage du mythe tragique ou des motifs tragiques. Notre approche est structurée sur deux axes : d’une part est examinée la notion de personnage, élément principal de l’oeuvre dramatique, dans son devenir tragique. Ainsi, dans les deux phases de ce que nous appelons le« mouvement tragique », le personnage passe de l’identité à l’altérité de soi, pour se choisir ensuite en tant qu’être fini, ou autrement, en tant qu’être « inscrit dans la mort », pour arriver finalement à la transcendance de sa propre finitude. D’autre part est examinée la notion de personne tragique, à savoir la conception de l’homme « réel », telle qu’elle est configurée par le lecteur/spectateur à partir du personnage tragique. Le sens de la personne tragique consiste en le passage de celle-ci du monde quotidien à un « nouveau réel », où dominent le devenir et l’ouverture à l’Autre. Dans ce cadre, la catharsis qu’éprouve le spectateur est identifiée à la « joie tragique ». / Contemporary playwriting turns often towards the tragic Greek myth as source of inspiration.However, the concept of “the tragic” is far from being evident, sometimes understood in anexistential meaning, tightly attached to the German philosophical thought who has given it birth,sometimes in an esthetic meaning, as a result of its close relation to the genre of tragedy. Thepresent study examines the concept of tragic in contemporary plays of different origin: moreprecisely, we study twelve plays, French and Greek, that cover the second half of the twentiethcentury in the broadest sense, characterized by the use of the tragic myth or of tragic motifs. Ourapproach is based on two axes: on one hand we examine the notion of character, a fundamentalelement of a dramatic work, in his becoming tragic. In this way and according to the two phasesof what we call “the tragic movement”, the character, after passing from the identity to the alterityof self, he then “chooses” himself as a finite being, or, in other words, as a being “inscribed indeath”; finally, he arrives at the point of transcendence of his own finitude. On the other hand, weexamine the notion of the tragic person, namely the conception of the “real” human, as it isformulated on the basis of the tragic hero, by the reader/spectator. The meaning of the tragicperson lies in a passage from the ordinary world to a “new reality”, where the becoming of thehuman being and the openness to the Other dominates. In this context, the spectator experiencesthe catharsis that can be identified with the “tragic joy”.

[ES] Esta tesis pone el foco sobre las prácticas artísticas en las que el sonido y/o la música es fuente de creación dramática. Como anteriormente hemos defendido (desde el 2017 a lo largo de distintas publicaciones y participaciones en congresos), la propuesta de teatro musical experimental se presenta como categoría en desarrollo para designar esta praxis. Por lo tanto, en este estudio, se analiza el funcionamiento de la escucha en el teatro y la concepción del lenguaje sonoro o diseño de sonido subordinado a las técnicas aprendidas de escucha más la inclusión y evolución de la tecnología electrónica. Proponemos a partir de ello un marco de análisis para el estudio de estas propuestas que aplicamos en dos estudios de caso (con enfoques distintos): Stifters Dinge (2007) de Heiner Goebbels como revisión de la bibliografía que se ha ocupado de esta pieza en profundidad con perspectiva analítico-crítica; y El rumor del ruido (2017) de Onírica Mecánica y Pedro Guirao que analizaremos a partir de la puesta en escena y la recepción directa del espectáculo. Nuestro enfoque evidencia que el uso acertado o no de los diferentes recursos teatrales (desde medios tecnológicos lineales a los interactivos) fomenta la interacción y en consecuencia la inmersión sonora gracias al efecto technosublime en el hecho escénico musical experimental. / [CA] Aquesta tesi posa el focus sobre les pràctiques artístiques en què el so i/o la música és font de creació dramàtica.

El nostre enfocament evidencia que l'ús encertat o no dels diferents recursos teatrals (des de mitjans tecnològics lineals als interactius) fomenta la interacció i, en conseqüència, la immersió sonora gràcies a l'efecte technosublime en el fet escènic musical experimental. / [EN] This thesis focuses on artistic practices in which sound and/or music is a source of dramatic creation. The proposal of experimental music theatre is presented as a developing category to designate this praxis as we have previously defended (since 2017 throughout different publications and participations in congresses). In this study we analyse the functioning of listening in theatre and the conception of sound language or sound design subordinated to the learned techniques of listening and the inclusion and evolution of electronic technology. From this we propose a framework of analysis for the study of these proposals, which we apply to two case studies with different approaches: Stifters Dinge (2007) by Heiner Goebbels as a critical review of the bibliography of this piece and from our perspective; and El rumor del ruido (2017) by Onírica Mecánica and Pedro Guirao that we will analyse from that of the staging and direct reception of the performance. Our approach shows that the successful or unsuccessful use of different theatrical resources (from linear to interactive technological media) encourages interaction and, consequently, sound immersion by the technosublime effect in the experimental musical performance. / Gracias a la Generalitat Valenciana por la beca para la contratación de personal investigador de carácter predoctoral en el año 2019 con referencia ACIF/2019/235 / Bernal Molina, A.

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur journalister rapporterar om barnmord. Dels handlar det om hur de tillämpar de pressetiska reglerna i rapporteringen samtidigt som de förhåller sig till nyhetsvärderingskriterierna. Dels handlar det om att studera om det finns en balans mellan dessa perspektiv. Tre fall där 10-åriga flickor var offer under olika år analyserades. Åren var 1992, 2000 och 2008. Metod och material: Metoderna som tillämpas för att analysera materialet är kvantitativ innehålls-analys och tematisk textanalys. Den kvantitativa innehållsanalysen tillämpas på totalt 467 analysenheter. Den tematiska textanalysen som är kvalitativ tillämpas på 18 av de totalt 467 analysenheterna. Materialet bestod av artiklar från lokaltidningarna Östersunds-Posten, Barometern och Södra Dalarnes tidning. Dagens Nyheter dagspress och Expressen kvällspress. Huvudresultatet: Resultatet från de båda analyserna, oavsett tidningstyp, visar att journalisterna i viss mån agerar oetiskt utifrån de pressetiska reglerna. Resultatet kunde tolkas som att de kommersiella faktorerna och nyhetskriterierna var viktigare för journalisterna att beakta istället för att värna om de pressetiska reglerna och därmed de anhöriga. Detta tolkas dels utifrån att tidningarna publicerade information som kunde identifiera gärningsmännen, dels att de rapporterade detaljrikt om hur flickorna hade blivit bragda om livet. / Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate how Swedish journalists covered murders in which children were victims. The main question of the study is whether in reporting there was a balance between following the professional ethical rules and the news values. The study follows the coverage of three cases where female children were murdered in small Swedish towns (in 1992, 2000 and 2008), and traces the dynamics of how the reporting has changed.   Method and material: The study applied quantitative content analysis and thematic text analysis to analyse the material. The material of the study was comprised of articles published in the morning newspaper Dagens Nyheter, evening newspaper Expressen and local newspapers Östersund-Posten, Barometern and Södra Dalarnes tidning. 467 units were analysed in the quantitative part, and 18 units – in the qualitative part.   The results: The analysis shows that regardless of the type of the newspaper, the journalists often do not follow the professional Code of Ethics when reporting on murders where children are victims. All the newspapers in all the three cases published information that could allow for identification of the perpetrator and provided the reader with (often unnecessary) details about the murders of the girls. The study shows that the frequency of reporting has increased from the beginning of the 1990s, however, in all the three cases, the media rather based their descriptions of the murders on the news values than on the professional ethical rules. This can potentially be explained by the newspapers’ orientation at commercial benefits rather than protection of the next of kin to the murdered.

Televizija perėmė dviejų menų – iš pradžių teatro, vėliau ir kino puoselėtas dramaturgijos raiškos priemones bei sukūrė savitą dramos pasaulį, kurio žiūrovas – prieš televizoriaus ekraną sėdintys žmonės. Televizijos dramaturgija žengia vos pirmuosius žingsnius, lyginant ją su dešimtmečių ar net šimtmečių patirtį turinčiais kinu bei teatru, todėl iki šiol nėra atliktos platesnės TV dramaturgijos studijos. Šio baigiamojo magistro darbo tyrimo objektas yra Lietuvos radijo ir televizijos projekto „Nacionalinė paieškų tarnyba“ analizė bei dramaturgijos raiškos televizijoje tyrimas. Tyrimui bei analizei laida „Nacionalinė paieškų tarnyba“ pasirinkta dėl savo unikalaus – Lietuvos televizijose – pobūdžio. Analogų lietuviškose televizijos programose neturinti laida, padedanti po pasaulį išblaškytiems giminaičiams ir artimiesiems surasti vienam kitą. Atlikto darbo tikslas buvo ištirti, kaip dramaturgija yra perteikta konkrečioje televizijos laidoje, kokius teatre bei kine pritaikytus dramos elementus perėmė TV projektai ir kokį poveikį žiūrovų auditorijai daro dramaturgijos elementų panaudojimas televizijoje. Baigiamojo magistro darbo uždaviniai buvo susiję su dramaturgijos elementų pritaikymo televizijoje analize, dramaturgijos raiškos lietuviškoje TV tendencijų aprašymų bei perspektyvų įvertinimu. Buvo siekiama nustatyti dramos kūrinių reikšmę televizijos programose bei apibendrinti TV auditorijos poreikius bei lūkesčius susijusius su dramaturgija. Šio darbo metodai – laidos...

The television dramaturgy takes barely its first steps, compared with theater and cinema which have the experience of decades or even centuries; therefore there are no wider TV drama study. An object of the master thesis is an analysis of Lithuanian radio and television project National search service and research of dramaturgy expression. The show National search service was chosen because of its uniqueness in Lithuanian television channels. The show which helps to find one‘s own flesh and blood dissipated in the world is the broadcast that has no analogues in the programmes of Lithuanian television channels. The goal was to examine how dramaturgy was conveyd in a particular television broadcast, what theatrical and cinematic dramaturgy elements were adopted in TV projects and what impact the dramaturgy elements make on an audience in the television. The objectives of the master thesis were coherent with the analysis of dramaturgy elements applied in television, the description of trends of dramaturgy expression in Lithuanian TV and the evaluation of prospects. The main focus was to determine the significance of drama pieces in television programmes and to summarize TV audience needs and expectations related to dramaturgy.

Cette thèse a pour objet l'adaptation théâtrale du roman 'Tirano Banderas' (1926) de l'écrivain espagnol Ramón María del Valle-Inclán. À cette fin, une recherche sur la dramaturgie centrée sur le processus de transduction a été réalisée, concrètement sur l'interprétation et sur la transformation du texte original de Valle-Inclán, qui a donné lieu à un relevé mise en scène, comprenant le script et les principaux éléments de la représentation de la pièce "Tirano Banderas". En annexe sont joints le DC de la musique, les esquisses du décor et du maquillage, les partitions ainsi qu'un document audiovisuel de plusieurs scènes pilotes. / The goal of this thesis is a stage adaptation of the novel 'Tirano Banderas' (1926) by Spanish writer Ramón María del Valle-Inclán. Dramaturgical research into the process of transduction, that is, the interpretation and transformation of the original text by Valle-Inclán, has led to the creation of a director's notebook, a document that unites the objectives of the "Tirano Banderas" performance, focusing on the primary elements of the representation. Sketches of the set, makeup, a CD with music, the musical score, and an audiovisual document of varios pilot scenes have been added to the Appendix. / El objeto de esta tesis es la adaptación escénica de la novela 'Tirano Banderas' (1926) del escritor español Ramón María del Valle-Inclán.
