The purpose of this study is ultimately to analyze the influence of cultural attitudes on the treatment of the Scottish estate in the first half of the 18th century (c.1715 – c.1776), making particular reference to the ideology of improvement, through the use of Sir Archibald Grant of Monymusk as a case study. Grant’s improvement of his estate is not understood as literally agricultural or economic development alone, but as a complex ideological commitment to the transformation of land, landscape and society. Whilst Grant of Monymusk has been discussed with reference to economic improvement, the relationship between his role as a publically acknowledged improver and his patronage of art and architecture, as well as his attempts at publication, has not been subject to similar interest. This thesis uses an innovative interdisciplinary approach which draws on archaeological as well as art historical methodologies. It discusses a wider range of estate commissions, in particular Grant’s patronage of the portrait artists John Smibert and William Robertson, the poet John Ogilvie, his commission of the architectural surveyors Alexander Jaffray and Robert Robinson, as well as his work to construct planned villages at Kirktown of Monymusk and Archiestown. The thesis attempts to place these commissions within the context of recent studies of improvement which emphasize its role as an ideology with cultural implications. The use of an individual case study allows for a more in depth discussion of specific reactions to historical and ideological change, providing a narrative of a specific site and thus creating an individual response towards broader cultural and scientific developments.

Tal objetivo foi estabelecido, porque percebemos que o discurso filmico tomou como fonte de informação o discurso jornalístico e constituiu outra versão do factual, que ora se aproxima e ora se afasta desse discurso. Tal versão foi adaptada às suas linguagens como meio audiovisual. Por meio da investigação das ocorrências das similaridades e das disparidades entre os discursos midiáticos e da produção de sentido no público-alvo de cada um desses meios, analisamos as estratégias discursivas que foram utilizadas pelos meios midiáticos para recriar um contexto verossímil com o fato real. Como acreditamos que o discurso jornalístico serviu como fonte de informação para a elaboração do discurso filmico, escolhemos um método que nos possibilitasse definir as semelhanças e diferenças entre esses discursos, portanto, optamos pelo método de análise comparativa. Concluímos, com essa análise, que cada meio utiliza a melhor estratégia discursiva na produção do conteúdo de seus produtos midiáticos, visando conquistar o interesse do seu público-alvo / The aim of this work was to examine the implementation of a report about a fact critically: the robbery to a great payer train, which occurred in Rio de Janeiro (BR) in 1960 and whole news was published by O Globo, a Brazilian newspaper. We research how the factual was narrated buy audiovisual media, through the reproduction of that fact itself into a film discourse. We have found out that O assalto ao Trem Pagador presents a new reading of the facts in order to reach the expectator's audiovisual medium. Our goal was set as soon as it has been realized that the film discourse took the media discourse as a source of information to change the real facts into another version of the events, which now approaches and departs from media discourse. Such version had its newspaper language adapted to the audivisual media. Through the investigation of occurrences, similarities and differences between both media discourse and the meaning generation to the target audience of each means, newspaper and cinema, we have analyzed the discursive strategies that were used by the media means to recreate a believable context with the resemblance to the real fact. As we believe the journalistic discourse has served as a source of information for elaborating the film discourse, we chose a method allow us to define the similarities and differences between these discourses, thus we have opted for a comparative analytical methodology. We have concluded from this analysis that each medium tries to use the best communicative strategy, or strategies, in the production of a discursive content for their media products so that the product can capture the interest of their target audience

This work is inserted in the effort to understand these interfaces, focusing on the practice of scientific communication, analyzed on the basis of theoretical inputs from the area of Science Education especially those identified with the approaches based on the interrelationships between Science, Technology and Society and understood as a space of complementarity between formal and nonformal education. To achieve its goals, the research analyzes the process of recontextualization and interpretation between the reports published in a weekly magazine of updates named CartaCapital and the resulting texts published in Carta na Escola, a monthly magazine that, from these reports, intends to offer high school teachers subsidies to approach the updates in the classroom. The purpose of this analysis conducted from the perspective of discursive textual analysis was, in general, to enrich the understanding of possible and productive relationships between the fields of Media and Education. In addition, we sought to contribute specifically to the understanding of the limits and potencial of using scientific communication products in science teaching and of the roles that the use of media materials aimed at carrying information on science and technology can play in overcoming challenges related to science teaching approaches guided by the interrelationships between Science, Technology, Society and Environment. The results of this analysis showed the dominant presence of recontextualization processes that aim to offer, within Carta na Escola, coordinated, contextualized and historical approaches to updates reported in CartaCapital in a fragmentary way, using a variety of strategies related to the different roles assigned to updates within the teaching proposals presented for the different knowledge areas in Carta na Escola. Specifically in relation to texts identified with the curriculum area of Natural Sciences, Mathematics and its technologies, the research showed different combinations, in Carta na Escola, of scientific, technological and social dimensions concerning the production of science and technology and also of internalist and externalist approaches of science, indicating the potential use of analysis of these dimensions and approaches in the evaluation and critical reading of science dissemination texts. / As interfaces entre os campos da Educação e da Comunicação vêm ganhando destaque e relevância nos últimos anos, seja nas práticas cotidianas relacionadas à atuação profissional em ambas as áreas, seja na produção acadêmica. O presente trabalho está inserido no esforço de compreensão dessas interfaces, com foco na prática da divulgação científica, analisada a partir de aportes teóricos da área de Ensino de Ciências especialmente aqueles identificados com as abordagens fundadas nas inter-relações entre Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade e entendida como um espaço de complementaridade entre processos formais e não formais de educação. Para tanto, o trabalho analisa como se dão os processos de recontextualização e interpretação entre as reportagens publicadas em uma revista semanal de atualidades a revista CartaCapital e os textos delas decorrentes publicados em Carta na Escola, revista mensal que, a partir dessas reportagens, propõe-se a oferecer a professores do Ensino Médio subsídios para abordagem das atualidades em sala de aula. O objetivo dessa análise realizada na perspectiva da análise textual discursiva foi, de modo geral, enriquecer a compreensão das relações possíveis e produtivas entre os campos da Comunicação Social e da Educação. Além disso, buscou-se especificamente contribuir para a compreensão dos limites e potencialidades do uso de materiais de divulgação científica no ensino das ciências e dos papéis que o uso de materiais midiáticos voltados à veiculação de informações sobre Ciência e Tecnologia pode exercer na superação de desafios relacionados a abordagens do ensino das ciências pautadas nas inter-relações entre Ciência, Tecnologia, Sociedade e Ambiente. Os resultados da análise empreendida evidenciaram a presença preponderante de processos de recontextualização que visam oferecer, em Carta na Escola, abordagem articulada, contextualizada e histórica às atualidades noticiadas em CartaCapital de forma fragmentada, utilizando para isso uma diversidade de estratégias, relacionadas a diferentes papéis atribuídos às atualidades nas propostas didáticas apresentadas para as diferentes áreas curriculares em Carta na Escola. Em relação especificamente aos textos identificados com a área curricular das Ciências Naturais, Matemática e suas Tecnologias, a pesquisa evidenciou diferentes combinações, nos textos de Carta na Escola, das dimensões científica, tecnológica e social da produção de Ciência e Tecnologia e, também, de abordagens internalistas e externalistas da Ciência, indicando o potencial da utilização da análise dessas dimensões e abordagens na avaliação e leitura crítica de textos de divulgação científica.

So we ask: how is the discourse on science appropriated by the newspapers Estado de Minas and Folha de S. Paulo in the concrete and ideological space of these journals? The meeting of the scientific field in the daily social experience requires an exchange of records and a new discursive relationship between enunciation, enunciatee, and enunciating. From these considerations, the research questions guiding this study are: i) What communication strategies are used in the process of recontextualization of the information published in the section Ciência of Estado de Minas and Folha de S. Paulo? ii) What social meanings are represented in the section Ciência of these two newspapers of national circulation, considering both verbal and non-verbal aspects? iii) How visual representations disseminated in the section Ciência of the studied newspapers can contribute to enlarge the meanings of news stories, whether playing challenging or changing values? Our analysis in relation to the verbal text, from the discursive procedure of expansion, sought to demonstrate how the strategies used to present the scientific knowledge in the print media have contributed or not, to the effective comprehension of the reading audience in relation to the topic publicized. The analysis of the non-verbal aspect performed in our corpus of research revealed that the role of science in these texts is quite focused on an attempt to realize the abstraction that the issues addressed are seen by the reader, through the use of graphics and other images that showed no functions others than illustrative. This way, the newspapers Estado de Minas e Folha de S. Paulo, within a time window selected to this study, are characterized as important media to the study of scientific divulgation in the printed media, emphasizing their value to civil society as well as limitations that still impede effective citizen participation in relation to decisions regarding the dissemination of scientific knowledge in Brazil. / Partimos do pressuposto de que o discurso de Divulgação Científica – entendido como o conjunto de informações midiáticas que são produzidas em situações comunicativas distintas das estabelecidas entre os cientistas e seus pares, sendo, pois, um texto reformulado por um jornalista, ou mesmo por um cientista, para um leitor não especializado no assunto que está sendo tratado – deve ser caracterizado como multimodal e, por isso, objetivamos estudá-lo considerando a conjugação entre os modos semióticos utilizados, sejam verbais ou não-verbais. Assim, questionamos: como o discurso sobre ciência é apropriado pelos jornais Estado de Minas e Folha de S. Paulo no espaço concreto e ideológico desses periódicos? O encontro do âmbito científico com a experiência social cotidiana obriga uma troca de registros e uma nova relação discursiva entre enunciado, enunciatário e enunciador. A partir dessas considerações, as perguntas de pesquisa que norteiam este estudo são: i) Que estratégias divulgativas são utilizadas no processo de recontextualização das informações publicadas na seção Ciência dos jornais Estado de Minas e Folha de S. Paulo?; ii) Que significados sociais são representados na estrutura da seção Ciência desses dois jornais de grande circulação nacional, considerando-se tanto os aspectos verbais como os não-verbais?; iii) De que forma as representações visuais veiculadas na seção Ciência dos jornais analisados podem contribuir para ampliar os significados das notícias divulgadas, seja reproduzindo, contestando ou transformando valores? Nossa análise em relação ao texto verbal, a partir do procedimento discursivo de expansão, procurou demonstrar como as estratégias divulgativas utilizadas para apresentar o conhecimento científico na mídia impressa contribuíram, ou não, para a efetiva compreensão do público leitor em relação ao assunto divulgado. A análise do aspecto não verbal realizada em nosso corpus de pesquisa revelou que a representação da ciência nesses textos está bastante voltada para uma tentativa de se concretizar a abstração com que as temáticas tratadas são vistas pelo leitor, por meio da utilização de infográficos e outras imagens que não apresentaram funções apenas ilustrativas. Assim, os jornais Estado de Minas e Folha de S. Paulo, dentro do recorte temporal selecionado para esta pesquisa, caracterizam-se como veículos de comunicação importantes para o estudo da divulgação científica na mídia impressa, revelando seu valor para a sociedade civil, bem como suas limitações que ainda impedem uma efetiva participação cidadã no que concerne às decisões tomadas em relação à divulgação do conhecimento científico no Brasil.

Articles published in the newspapers Di?rio de Natal/O Poti and Tribuna do Norte from 1992 to 2002 have been analyzed. Beginning with the very same questions that moved Moscovici (1978) in his classic study La Psychalyse son image et son public , according to which the media play a predominant role in the formation and propagation of social representations as well as in the construction of human behaviors, we have chosen this mass media as our investigation field. Understanding the importance of the communication theory, we intend to associate it to the social representation theory, since communication, as an aspiration, relates to the fundamentals of all humanity (WOLTON, 2004, p. 56). Moreover, means of communication represent an important space for symbolic production and representational process, allowing the analysis of the circulating discourses on social inclusion and disability. Based on these questions, we have determined social representations present in print media on the subject to be our study object. This objective was elected due to the fact that the thematic of disability and inclusion is scarcely and sporadically found in journalistic speech. The research questions have been: which is the representation of disabled people s condition in print media? What changes have occurred during the analyzed period and which was the role played by print media in this process? The research corpus was composed of newspaper articles about various aspects concerning disability and of free word association by reporters. We have analysed: 1) graphical language promoted by the picture of the substances propagated in the period from 1992 a 2002; 2) free word association experiments carried out with reporters of both newspapers; and 3) texts published from 1996 to 1997 using the high-tech program ALCESTE (Contextual Lexical Analysis of a Set of Segments of Texts). The results revealed that the print media in Natal/RN refer to the topic in a discontinuous way, and depend on specific events to highlight disabled people s fight for their rights. Social inclusion is still a great challenge for these people in all levels. We believe that this incapacity to overcome all kinds of obstacles is established in a dialectic relation between society and the media: society remains silent (the manifestation of interest for the cause only attracts some people s or groups attention) and the media, which selects which information is to be broadcasted, gives no evidence to the issue. This representation may be noticed in the infrequency in which articles about the subject are published, as well as in the emphasis to sports, a more important issue for the media. An implication of this study is that a new perspective is opened for analysis and reflection: the Paralympics games as both an inclusive and a segregating social phenomenon. It would be beautiful to have all of us together! / Esta tese ? o resultado de uma exaustiva pesquisa sobre o discurso circulante veiculado na m?dia impressa no per?odo de 1992 a 2002 nos jornais Di?rio de Natal/ O Poti e Tribuna do Norte, sobre a inclus?o das pessoas com defici?ncia. A partir dos questionamentos que moveram Moscovici (1978) na sua cl?ssica obra La Psychalyse son image et son public de que a m?dia tem papel preponderante na forma??o e veicula??o das representa??es sociais e na edifica??o de condutas humanas, elegemos esse meio midi?tico como campo investigativo. Compreendendo a import?ncia da teoria da comunica??o, buscamos fazer sua articula??o com as representa??es sociais, uma vez que a comunica??o, como aspira??o, remete ao fundamento de toda a humanidade (WOLTON, 2004, p. 56), e ainda a comunica??o representa um espa?o importante de produ??o simb?lica e de processo representacional para an?lise dos discursos circulantes sobre inclus?o e defici?ncia. Baseada nestas quest?es, determinamos nosso objetivo de conhecer as representa??es sociais compartilhadas na m?dia impressa sobre o assunto. Este objetivo foi constru?do em face da tem?tica da defici?ncia e inclus?o ser um discurso jornal?stico escasso e espor?dico. As quest?es de pesquisa foram: qual a representa??o sobre a situa??o das pessoas com defici?ncia, no meio de comunica??o m?dia impressa? Que altera??es ocorreram no per?odo analisado e qual o papel da m?dia impressa neste processo? O corpus da pesquisa foi constitu?do de mat?rias jornal?sticas sobre a quest?o da defici?ncia, em seus v?rios aspectos e de associa??o livre de palavras com jornalistas. As an?lises foram: 1) a linguagem gr?fica proporcionada pelo quadro das mat?rias veiculadas no per?odo; 2) a associa??o livre de palavras aplicada com os jornalistas dos dois jornais; e 3) os textos dos anos de 1996 e 1997 pelo programa informatizado ALCESTE (An?lise Lexical Contextual de um Conjunto de Segmentos de Textos). Os resultados revelaram que a m?dia impressa de Natal/RN apresenta a quest?o de forma descont?nua e que depende de eventos espec?ficos para dar visibilidade ? luta das pessoas com defici?ncia em rela??o aos seus direitos. A inclus?o ? ainda um grande desafio para essas pessoas em todos os n?veis. Consideramos que a incapacidade de romper obst?culos de toda ordem e natureza se estabelece numa rela??o dial?tica entre a sociedade e a m?dia: a sociedade silencia (a manifesta??o de interesse pela causa s? atrai aten??o de algumas pessoas ou grupos) e a m?dia que intermedia as informa??es geradas nas pr?ticas dos acontecimentos sociais, n?o d? visibilidade ? quest?o. Essa representa??o revela-se na aus?ncia de regularidade de mat?rias alusivas ao assunto, bem como na alus?o preferencial ao esporte, uma dimens?o valorizada pelas m?dias. Uma implica??o desse estudo ? a abertura de uma nova vis?o para an?lise e reflex?o, qual seja: as paraolimp?adas enquanto fen?meno social de segrega??o e inclus?o. Belo seria estarmos juntos!

Media are considered to be the public's primary source of information regarding mental illness. Evidence suggests that media representations of people with psychiatric disorders are frequently negative and contribute to their stigmatization. On the other hand, media can play an important role in reducing this stigmatisation by providing adequate information about this topic and engaging in antistigma campaigns. Up to now there was no standardised measurement of the stigma of mental illness in print media using clearly operationalized definitions. The objectives of this project were twofold; to develop a standardised and objective instrument to measure stigma of mental illness in print media; and to conduct an analysis of the current coverage on mental health/illness issues in Czech, Croatian, and Slovak print media. The development of the Picture of Mental Illness in Newspapers (PICMIN) instrument was based on the principles of content analysis, a research technique for making replicable and valid inferences from text to the kontext in their use. The instrument consists of eleven descriptive and five analytical categories. The most interesting findings based on the analysis of media representations of mental illness were; a similarly high level of stigmatizing articles across countries, clearly...

Cette recherche porte sur la controverse construite autour des expulsions d’étrangers en situation irrégulière en France entre 2006 et 2010 et sur sa médiatisation dans cinq titres de la presse quotidienne nationale française : l’Humanité, Libération, Le Figaro, Le Monde et Le Parisien (édition nationale). L’objectif principal est de saisir les enjeux sociopolitiques structurant les discours des différents acteurs qui font exister cette controverse dans l’espace public : le gouvernement, les militants des droits des étrangers et, enfin, les médias. Il s’agit notamment de voir s’il existe une mise en débat de la gestion sécuritaire des flux migratoires dans les discours médiatiques. Notre propos s'organise en trois parties. La première partie est une mise en perspective historique de la place des étrangers dans l’État-nation français depuis la Révolution française jusqu'à la fin du 20ème siècle. Elle nous permet de comprendre les difficultés politiques spécifiques qui surgissent lorsqu’il s’agit de penser la question des droits et de la place des migrants dans un monde organisé en États-nations. La deuxième partie décrit et analyse les positionnements politiques et les discours des principaux acteurs du débat sur l'immigration irrégulière et les sans-papiers, soit l’État d'un côté et le champ militant de l'autre. Enfin, dans une troisième et dernière partie, nous analysons le rôle joué par les journaux français dans la construction de la controverse autour des expulsions. Le corpus comporte 2602 articles, que nous analysons d'abord de manière quantitative à l'aide du logiciel Modalisa, puis de manière plus qualitative (analyse narrative, iconique et argumentative). Nos conclusions insistent sur les cadrages privilégiés dans les discours de presse ainsi que sur leurs difficultés à élaborer une ligne éditoriale cohérente et ambitieuse sur la question des migrations et une autonomie vis-à-vis des discours politiques. Elles montrent d’abord que l’accroissement de la répression vis-à-vis des sans-papiers est loin de faire consensus et est, au contraire, très controversée dans la presse française. Mais, malgré ce discours dénonciateur, les journaux peinent à prendre politiquement position sur la situation des sans-papiers et à mobiliser des arguments contre la logique sécuritaire. Les registre mobilisés par les journaux pour sortir de l’approche sécuritaire de l’immigration se limitent donc généralement à l’invocation de principes humanitaires et de valeurs morales, et au recours à l’argument de l’intégration (sociale, scolaire, professionnelle) des sans-papiers dans la société française. / This research concerns the controversy over the deportation of foreign nationals in irregular or illegal situation in France between 2006 and 2010, as well as the mediatisation of this controversy in five national French newspapers: l'Humanité, Libération, Le Figaro, Le Monde and Le Parisien (national edition). The main goal is to understand the socio-political issues structuring the discourses offered by the various social actors that take part in this controversy in the public sphere : the government, activists and advocates for migrants' rights, and the media. This research focuses in particular on ascertaining whether the security-centred management of migratory flows is debated in media discourses.The argument is divided into three parts. The first part gives historical perspective to the position of foreign nationals in the French nation state from the French Revolution to the end of the twentieth century. It illuminates the political difficulties that appear when conceiving of the rights and the position of migrants in a world made of nation states. The second part describes and analyses the political positioning as well as the discourses of the main social actors taking part in the debates on irregular and illegal migration; looking at the state on the one hand, and activist movements on the other. Finally, the third part proposes an analysis of the role played by French newspapers in the construction of the controversy over deportations. The corpus consists of 2602 press articles, which are firstly quantitatively analysed with the help of software Modalisa, and then approached qualitatively (narrative, iconic and argumentative analyses).This research conclusions focus on the interpretative frames most used in newspapers' discourses. It discusses the way these discourses encounter difficulties not only in elaborating a coherent and ambitious editorial line regarding migration, but also in retaining a certain autonomy in relation to political discourses. The conclusions show firstly that there is a clear lack of consensus concerning the increasing repression of illegal migrants, amounting to a real controversy in French newspapers. However, despite this denunciation, newspapers find it difficult both to take a political stand on the situation of illegal migrants, and to mobilise arguments against security-based discourses. Indeed, in order to eschew these approaches focusing on security, newspapers are often limited to invoking humanitarian principles and moral values, and to focusing on the integration (whether it be social, educative, professional) of illegal migrants in French society.

This thesis called "Printed Media Photographs ahead the Elections (Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Parliament, 2006)" brings an analysis of politicians'picture in the five quality-press newspapers ahead of the elections to the lower chamber of the Czech Parliament. This analysis uses the quantitative content analysis, follows up emergence of issues and draws comparisons among the newspapers and political parties. This thesis sums up the main aspects of the photographs in the printed media ahead of the Elections. There are up to 90 graphs that simply show the outcomes even of the multilevel analysis. Analysed daily newspapers were the following: Hospodářské noviny, Mladá fronta Dnes, Lidové noviny, Právo and Haló noviny. The analysis was done by means of the SPSS statistical software.
