The purpose of this study was to make a qualitative study of how social services work is produced in local and national Swedish newspapers in connection with five child welfare cases. The starting point of the study was qualitative and based on five selected childcare cases with a total of 136 articles. To analyze these articles discourse analysis was used with inspiration from Foucault. The material was analyzed from the theory of framing and the concepts of power and scapegoat. The results and analysis section are divided into three main themes with subheadings. The first theme is about how it is written about the work of social services based on child welfare cases. The second theme is about scapegoats and the third theme deals with the similarities and differences we have found between the national and local newspaper articles. The results of the study have shown that the social services work with children and young people is presented as responsible for the events that are written and as an organization with deficiency. The result has also shown that the media has the power to choose who will be heard, what to publish and how to write about events. We have also analyzed how the newspapers choose to frame and highlight certain perspectives of an event through the theory of framing. We have found differences and similarities between how national and local newspapers write about social services work with children and young people.

This research investigated the psychoanalytic idea of containment in the context of NHS staff responses to a person diagnosed with personality disorder. The aim was to identify what, if any, containment was provided by staff for someone diagnosed with personality disorder by recording staff responses to an assessment and analysing the discourse. The research was undertaken with participants selected to represent a cross section of staff in the organisation and included senior and junior, clinical, administrative and managerial staff. The discourse analysis of the interviews examined defences against containment such as splitting, projective identification and idealisation and the positions people occupied in relation to the material and the researcher, as well as looking for examples of containment. Reflexivity was a key part of the methodology, forms a significant part of the thesis and is used to contribute to the discussion. Reflexivity, findings from the review of the literature and the analysis of the interviews form the basis of the discussion and conclusions. The research showed that containment, in its psychoanalytic sense, is often avoided and defended against. Key difficulties with developing the capacity for containment were found to be: conflict between the personal and professional in staff and anxiety in relation to the power of others in the organisation. Suggestions are made for how changes could be made within the organisation and how this could benefit both staff and people who use services. Changing the approach to containment could save costs as some repeat admissions could be avoided and staff satisfaction enhanced. The conclusions from the research make a contribution to clinical practice in NHS settings, to the psychoanalytic theory of containment and to the methodology of psychoanalytic discourse analysis. Recommendations for further research include more psychoanalytic discourse analysis to identify defences in text and research evaluating reflective staff groups.

Esta tese tem como objetivo geral traçar um diagrama da relação de forças entre esses diferentes suportes midiáticos. Isto decorre em três objetivos específicos, a saber: positivar as regularidades de surgimento de um regime de enunciados que forma sistematicamente o fascínio por assassinos em série no elemento de um arquivo; evidenciar as regras que incidem na configuração do discurso do fascínio partindo da análise do modo como a mídia jornalística nacional constrói o criminoso célebre e de como as mídias sociais o enunciam como ídolo; evidenciar as regras de emergência do assassino em série como objeto de consumo materializado em produtos de entretenimento como séries de televisão. Pautada na Análise de discurso francesa com a perspectiva arqueogenealógica de Michel Foucault, esta tese visa evidenciar uma ordem discursiva do olhar sobre o assassino em série, ordem esta que remete a uma subjetividade consumidora dessas visualidades/dizibilidades. O corpus é composto por séries enunciativas cuja materialidade é imagética e verbal, formuladas em sistemas de distribuição que vão desde a materialidade dos diferentes suportes como a magazine impressa Ve...

Cette thèse vise à dessiner un diagramme de la relation de forces entre ces différents médias. Cela fait suite à trois objectifs spécifiques, à savoir: faire positif les régularités de l'émergence d'un régime établi comment systématiquement la fascination pour les tueurs en série dans un élément de archive; montrer les règles qui affectent la configuration de le discours de fascination basée sur une analyse de la façon dont les médias de nouvelles nationales construit le célèbre criminel et comment les médias sociaux annoncent l'idole; mettre en évidence les règles d'urgence du tueur en série en tant qu'objet de consommation incarné dans les produits de divertissement tels que les séries télévisées. Basée sur l'analyse du discours français avec la perspective archéo-généalogie foucaldienne, cette thèse vise à mettre en évidence un ordre discursif du regard sur le tueur en série, un ordre qui renvoie à une subjectivité consommatrice de ces visibilités/énoncés. Le corpus est composé de séries énonciatives dont la matérialité a image et verbale, formulée dans des systèmes de distribution allant de la mat...

Na relação dos sujeitos com a atualidade, vemos entrecruzar-se acontecimentos heterogêneos, que criam condições de possibilidade para a produção de verdades para esta época, tais como: a sociedade está tendo um "despertar feminista"; o feminismo tem novos sujeitos e o feminismo de hoje é novo. Nesse sentido, esta tese se volta para os discursos sobre feminismo produzidos nas e pelas mídias digitais para problematizar como se produzem os sentidos de novidade e "desmontar" verdades que circulam como naturais e evidentes. Assim, problematizamos o acontecimento da volta do feminismo: por que o feminismo hoje é enunciado como novo? Em que consiste sua novidade? Para compreender a emergência deste objeto e a proveniência das "novas" subjetividades feministas, atentamos para as seguintes questões: i) Quais transformações históricas possibilitam mudanças no modo de colocar o feminismo em discurso hoje? ii) Quais relações de força no presente configuram lutas entre os sujeitos pela condição de verdade do feminismo? iii) Como os sujeitos se relacionam com a atualidade e os saberes que proliferam nas mídias digitais para a constituição de si e para estratégias de resistência? Situados em uma Análise do Discurso que pensa com Michel Foucault, assumimos uma abordagem arquegenealógica, que interroga sobre as condições históricas de formação e mutação ...

Dans le rapport entre les sujets et l'actualité, on voit s'entrecroiser des événements hétérogènes, qui créent des conditions de possibilité pour la production des vérités à cette époque, comme par exemple : la société a un « réveil féministe »; le féminisme a de nouveaux sujets et le féminisme d'aujourd'hui est nouveau. En ce sens, cette thèse analyse des discours portant sur le féminisme, qui sont produits par les médias digitaux et qui s'inscrivent dans ces derniers, afin de problématiser comment de nouveaux sens émergent et afin d'exposer des vérités qui circulent, considérées comme étant naturelles et évidentes. De cette façon, on problématise le retour du féminisme à partir des questionnements suivants : pourquoi le féminisme d'aujourd'hui est-il énoncé comme étant « nouveau »? En quoi consiste sa nouveauté? Pour comprendre l'émergence de cet objet et la provenance de « nouvelles » subjectivités féministes, on s'interroge : i) Quelles sont les transformations historiques qui permettent, aujourd'hui, des changements dans la manière de mettre le féminisme en discours? ii) Quels présents rapports de forces configurent des luttes entre les sujets pour la condition de vérité du féminisme? iii) Comment les sujets, en dialoguant avec les savoirs qui prolifèrent dans les médias digitaux, se définissent et développent des stratégi...

Canada is currently the world leader in the number of per capita prosecutions of HIV nondisclosure (Hastings, 2017). Many of these cases garner the attention of media and receive sensational and dramatic coverage. This thesis provides a feminist critical discourse analysis of the juridical and mediated content on Trevis Smith who was a former Canadian Football League linebacker convicted of aggravated sexual assault for not disclosing to his sexual partners that he was living with HIV. Mobilizing an intersectional (Crenshaw, 1989, 1991) and masculinities (Connell, 2005/1995; Messerschmidt, 2012; 2016) theoretical framework, I specifically explored the ways in which the media and juridical content constituted Smith by considering how the different discourses were shaped by race, gender, class, criminality, sexual orientation, and seropositivity. The analysis revealed three main discourses: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The “Sodom and Ghomorrah of Shared Sexual Partners” and Playing a Dangerous Game. These discourses demonstrate that Smith was initially shown sympathy by way of his construction as a philanthropist, and sports hero. However, as the case progressed his masculinity was discursively linked to racialized tropes of hypersexuality, dangerousness, and criminality due to his failure to disclose that he was HIV positive. I conclude that these discursive connections are part of a broader historical narrative that subjugates and controls Black men while also working to symbolically and literally segregate the Canadian HIV-negative social body from the hypersexual Black ‘AIDS fiend’.

How do members of the media represent intersex people? Do the voices of intersex activists find their way into mainstream media representations, or are they ignored? What types of discourses are produced by the presence (or lack thereof) of activist voices in news articles? The goal of this thesis is to interrogate the discourse surrounding intersex, or individuals who fall outside of the typical male/female binary for sex classification, and intersex activism in the media. The legal case M.C. vs. Aaronson, settled in 2017, was one of the first legal cases in the United States involving an intersex person. This thesis analyzes the media coverage of this case. As much of the public is still unaware of the issues facing intersex people today, media representations of intersex have the ability to make great strides in promoting awareness about the goals of intersex activism. Therefore, it is vital to investigate the way that media representations construct ideas about intersex and intersex activism. Utilizing feminist critical discourse analysis in conjunction with a “Media Guide” produced by a leading intersex organization called InterACT, I dissect seven articles written about the M.C. vs Aaronson case to study the way that their authors reproduce harmful ideas about intersex people. I focus on four specific aspects of these articles: the way they utilize photos of babies and children, the erasure of M.C.’s race, the way the articles discuss sex and gender, and who is quoted in each article. I also make the case that the InterACT “Media Guide”, while a step in the right direction, continues the perpetuation of dangerous intersex tropes.

In June 2010 an urban fox (Vulpes vulpes) attacked twin baby girls in their bedroom in Hackney, East London. The story made national newspaper headlines for weeks to follow and elicited commentary from concerned city-dwellers, pest controllers, foxhunters, politicians, scientists and animal protectionists. Many considered urban foxes a growing menace, branding them overabundant, out of place and more aggressive than their rural counterparts. Hunters pointed to the ban on hunting with dogs as a possible cause of a supposed explosion in the urban fox population and as a manifestation of urban ignorance regarding wildlife management. Others defended the foxes' place in the city and warned against knee-jerk reactions to one-off incidents. However, the response from many public and political figures to media reports of fox attacks was to call for urgent action on what is ostensibly a problem of animal behaviour. This thesis examines the urban fox attack phenomenon as a form of moral panic. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of a large sample of tabloid and broadsheet national newspaper articles, as well as a selection of television documentaries, pest control industry publications and lobby group materials spanning five years (2009–2014), is used to track the emergence and development of this moral panic and to examine how it is tied to anxieties surrounding not only human/animal relations in urban space, but also human social conflict more widely. In so doing, the thesis contributes a new perspective to the study of moral panics by reflecting on the implications for moral panic theory of ‘bringing animals in’.

Como também conhecer que discursos são produzidos pelas mulheres nas trocas conversacionais no grupo, como o grupo confere sentido ao feminino, às relações de gênero e ao lugar da mulher na família, na sociedade e no contexto do grupo e no ambiente do CAPS. Procuramos compreender de que forma as mulheres descrevem, avaliam e legitimam o mundo feminino e que termos utilizam para afirmar ou recusar tal mundo e em que circunstâncias. Também procuramos identificar que ações estão sendo produzidas a partir desse conversar terapêutico e como as práticas do feminino no grupo estão atravessadas por relações de poder. Para essa pesquisa, lançamos mão principalmente de uma psicologia social discursivamente orientada, alinhada à epistemologia construcionista social, focalizando o modo como as mulheres participantes do nosso estudo dão sentido ao ser mulher. Neste enquadre epistemológico compreende-se o mundo social como uma construção coletiva e privilegiam-se as diferentes formas de interação e linguagem que histórica e culturalmente constroem o conhecimento do mundo. Os principais autores utilizados nesta pesquisa foram: Margaret Wetherell, Jonathan Potter, Benedito Medrado, Nigel Edley, Kenneth Gergen, Emerson Rasera, Carla Guanaes. Esta pesquisa analisou quatro sessões de terapia de grupo que aconteceram no contexto de um CAPS geral do tipo III, com a participação de 07 pacientes do sexo feminino. As sessões foram transcritas e submetidas a uma análise do discurso. Observou-se a forma como essas mulheres se posicionam diante de diferentes temas que surgem no grupo, a forma como lidam e resolvem dilemas ideológicos e também identificamos os repertórios interpretativos utilizados por elas ao falar do feminino. Nas trocas dialógicas percebemos um movimento constante ora de adesão, ora de afastamento de versões convencionais do que é ser mulher, de agir de modo feminino, contribuindo em alguns momentos para a manutenção do estado de assimetria de gênero, mas em outros, abrindo espaço para novas construções e versões mais igualitárias de gênero.

Identified these expressions still aimed at to present an analysis proposal for the evaluative content of these tends in view the influence of the writer positioning observation for the text sense construction. We considered the referential expressions object-of-speech just as the referring is conceived in the theory of the referenciation, as define it Apothéloz and Reichler-Beguelin (1995); Mondada and Dubois (2003); Marcuschi and Koch (1998). The second theory, regarding the metadiscourse, takes as principal theoretical presupposition the rhetorical notion elaborated by Hyland (1998). The elaboration of the methodology of the research felt by the classification of Cavalcante (2004 b and c) for the referential expressions; the classification of Hyland(1998, 2005) for the metadiscurso. As base for the analysis of the content axiológico of the referencial expressions with metadiscourse function, we used some categories of the Critical Discourse Analysis. / A proposta deste trabalho é identificar e descrever as funções metadiscursivas exercidas por expressões referenciais. Identificadas estas expressões objetivamos ainda apresentar uma proposta de análise para o conteúdo avaliativo destas tendo em vista a influência da observação do posicionamento do autor/co-enunciador para a construção de sentido do texto. Consideramos as expressões referenciais como objetos-de-discurso tal como os referente são concebidos na teoria da referenciação, conforme a definem Apothéloz e Reichler-Beguelin (1995); Mondada e Dubois (2003); Marcuschi e Koch (1998). O segundo constructo teórico, referente ao metadiscurso, toma como principal pressuposto teórico a noção retórica elaborada por Hyland (1998). A elaboração da metodologia da pesquisa se deu mediante a classificação de Cavalcante (2004 b e c) para as expressões referenciais; a classificação de Hyland(1998, 2005) para o metadiscurso. Como base para a análise do conteúdo axiológico das expressões referenciais com função metadiscursiva, utilizamos algumas categorias da Análise Crítica do Discurso.

Linguistics has developed elaborate accounts of the <u>social</u> aspects of language use - 'how to do things with words' - but the <u>emotional-dynamic</u> aspects have hitherto received less attention. Such discussions of emotive or affective meaning as there have been have tended to concentrate on the linguistic resources that are coded into the language system, rather than the dynamics of emotional interaction enacted through language use. The clinical discipline of Kleinian psychoanalysis, by contrast, has made emotional dynamics its central concern. Furthermore the main tool of the psychoanalyst's trade is the verbal interpretation of the patient's material, much of which is itself verbal. These factors have led to the development in Kleinian psychodynamic theory of a particularly rich vocabulary for understanding emotional-dynamic interaction, and specifically those aspects which are verbally enacted. The goal of this thesis is to outline a linguistic theory of emotional dynamics based on insights derived from Kleinian psychoanalysis. It aims to extrapolate from a clinical context Kleinian ideas that can be integrated with those of the school of Linguistic thought that has emphasised the dynamic aspects of locally-managed discourse meaning.
