Em ano de eleição, as campanhas em favor de candidatos a diversos cargos políticos se intensificam, assim como a cobertura da mídia em razão dos eventos e das personalidades políticas vinculadas ao pleito eleitoral. Desta forma, esta dissertação propõe-se a investigar o discurso jornalístico, em especial o gênero reportagem de revistas semanais de informação de Brasil e Alemanha, no que diz respeito a duas importantes figuras políticas desses dois países em ano eleitoral, a saber, Dilma Rousseff e Angela Merkel. É nesse contexto que se inserem as publicações Época e Focus, cujos projetos gráficos, em princípio, possuem semelhanças. Foram selecionadas dez reportagens dessas revistas, sendo cinco para cada título. Partimos da hipótese de que, por meio de seu discurso, as publicações tentam projetar algum tipo de ethos, seja positivo ou negativo, dessas personalidades políticas a fim de persuadir seu leitor em um contexto eleitoral. A fim de verificarmos tal hipótese, foram adotados os suportes teóricos da análise do discurso e seus modos de organização, de Charaudeau (2010b), as formas de discurso relatado e modalização, de Maingueneau (1997, 2011), as concepções de ethos (Meyer, 2007; Amossy, 2008; Charaudeau, 2008), além das considerações sobre o jornalismo (Lage, 1985, 2001). Os resultados apontaram para o fato de que, por meio de procedimentos linguístico-discursivos, as imagens das candidatas projetadas pelas revistas são, de modo geral, negativas. Isso significa que ambas as revistas possuem um posicionamento a respeito das duas candidatas, e, com isso, moldam o seu discurso a fim de persuadir os seus leitores a respeito dessas figuras políticas / In election years, campaigns in favor of candidates to various public posts get more intense, as well as media coverage, due to the events and political personalities connected to the polls. This dissertation aims at investigating the journalistic discourse, specially the genre news report, in weekly magazines published in Brazil and Germany, as far as two important political figures of those two countries are regarded, viz., Dilma Rousseff and Angela Merkel. This is the context of Época and Focus, magazines that have points in common regarding their graphic projects. Ten news reports have been selected, five from each magazine. The hypothesis of this work is that, by means of their discourses, the magazines sought to create a type of ethos, either positive or negative, of those political personalities so as to persuade their reading public in the electoral period. In order to confirm the accuracy of that hypothesis, the theoretical supports of Discourse Analysis and its organization from Charaudeau (2010b); the forms of reported speech and modalization from Maingueneau (1997, 2011); the concepts of ethos (Meyer, 2007; Amossy, 2008; Charaudeau, 2008), as well as the considerations on journalism made by Lage (1985, 2001) were used. It was concluded that, by means of linguistic-discursive procedures, the images of the candidates built by the magazines are overall negative. This means that both of the magazines take stands regarding the candidates and therefore shape their discourse in order to persuade their readers so far as those public figures are considered

The thesis examines the reasons why the German National Assembly of 1919 chose proportional representation to elect officials to the German Reichstag. Sources include the series Quellen zur Geschichte des Parlamentarismus and die politische Parteien, the "Hajo Holborn Papers", and the Reich Ministry of Interior debates concerning the institutional draft. The thesis traces the arguments for proportional representation, its use throughout Europe before 1914, and voting reform in Germany during World War I. The thesis surveys the German provisional government's adoption of proportional representation, emphasizing the constitutional drafts of Hugo Preuss and the role of the provisional government. Finally, the thesis scrutinizes the National Assembly debates, concluding that most of its members had already decided to follow the provisional government's course and accept proportional representation.

This thesis explores the relationship between gender policy, gender culture, and political participation in unified Germany. It investigates the extent to which political regimes shape citizens' attitudes towards gender roles and examines the effect of such attitudes on women's participation in politics. The thesis is divided into three parts: The first part explores the differences in gender regime types between the former German Democratic Republic and Federal Republic of Germany during the Cold War period. Building on existing studies, the analysis considers how generations that were socialised in the divided Germany differ in their attitudes toward gender roles. It finds that citizens from West Germany are more socially conservative than citizens from the East. The second part of the thesis tests the effects of these traditional gender attitudes on citizens' participation, focusing on party membership. The analysis highlights that gender gaps in formal political participation in unified Germany still exist, but that these gaps are smaller in the new federal states. The investigation further shows that traditional gender attitudes exert a negative effect on women’s political engagement beyond the predictive power of socio-economic and demographic factors. The final part of this thesis casts a critical look at the political controversy in Germany over the introduction of a cash-for-care subsidy (the so-called Betreuungsgeld). It explores the normative assumptions and ideas about gender roles that have been promoted by Germany's main political parties throughout the policy negotiation process. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, the research presented in this thesis draws on, and contributes to, studies on gender, welfare states, political socialisation, and political participation.

This master thesis focuses on the development of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) between the years 1990 and 2005. At the beginning of this period, Germany was reunited. At the end, the coalition government of the SPD and the Greens came to its end and the SPD lost the office of the Chancellor. The first chapter of this thesis summarizes the post- war development of the SPD, which is crucial for better understanding of the events after the year 1990. The following chapters are, in accordance with the election period focused on the period of 1990 - 2005. The main focus of this thesis are the important phenomena which were linked to the SPD during the analysed period. Attention is paid to the debates within the party regarding economic, social and foreign policy or personnel issues. The main program documents of the SPD from the years 1990 - 2005 are analysed. All the mentioned information is summarised and interpreted.

The diploma thesis deals with the social movement Fridays for Future and its activity in the Federal Republic of Germany. The study describes frames which are used by the movement to communicate with public and to mobilize its supporters. In the analysis the thesis is based on the framing theory, which was in more detail elaborated by David A. Snow and Robert D. Benford. Specifically, the thesis deals with the analyses of the frames that occurred in the selected speeches delivered by the activists of the movement Fridays for Future. To be more precise, it is the diagnostic, prognostic, and motivational framing. At the beginning of the movement there was the Swedish activist Greta Thunberg who came up with the idea of school strikes for climate. The movement resonated strongly in the German society and it managed to mobilize an extraordinary amount of people in comparison to other states. The central aim of this thesis is to characterize the movement Fridays for Future in Germany. The thesis concentrates on the official goals that the movement tries to push through at the level of the German politics. Furthermore, it focuses on the collective identity and composition of the demonstration participants, primarily it dedicates to social and demographic features of the demonstrators. Besides, the thesis...
