This qualitative frame analysis examines how print media handles the concept of Fundamentalist Christianity. The researcher examined news reports in four prominent national newspapers over the ten-year period between 2000 and 2009 for references made to Fundamentalist Christianity. The sample is examined on the basis of Mark Silk's "topoi," a term taken from classical rhetoric meaning commonplaces or themes (1995). Silk outlines seven common topoi on which stories about religion are written, and these are utilized as a framework for this present study. While much has been written and researched on how religious groups, Fundamentalist Christians, and Evangelicals use mass media to promote their message to a secular audience, few studies have examined how the secular press frames Fundamentalist Christianity. This study, therefore, fills an existing literature gap by dissecting the portrayal of a demographic that has had a historical and cultural media presence for more than a century.

Firstly, the social functions of mass media are analysed, with critical assessment of some significant sociological and psychological literature on mass communication and related topics. It is concluded they operate principally to maintain definitional social categories in the context of change and to sustain a given level of public discussion. Secondly, leading theories of race relations and industrial relations are analysed critically; it is concluded that different theoretical approaches, typically applying to different levels of analysis, tend to be mutually contributive, not exclusive. Both sets of relationships are then briefly compared and contrasted. The nature of racial and industrial conflict in contemporary Britain is then surveyed, with reference to dominant perceptions of the situation and the objective character of these conflicts. Next, content analysis as a research technique is discussed, and the precise methods employed in this study axe described. Selected television and press coverage of the 1970 docks strike is then analysed, with a particular focus on levels of explanation, the degree of public participation in discussion, and the definitions provided of the situation. Certain related data are appended. The same task is subsequently performed in relation to immigration, domestic race relations, the sale of arms to South Africa, and some other topics. Certain related data are appended. Finally, these data are placed in their sociological context in Britain, by integrating them with an analysis of the social construction of consensus in that society. After discussion of certain theories interrelating culture and social divisions, together with analysis of certain institutions bearing on the construction of consensus, the particular role of the British news media, and the special functions of British ideologies of nationalism and objectivity, are surveyed. Conclusions for the relation between consensus and conflict in modern Britain are then stated.

Basing on the Discourse Analysis by Pêcheux, this study aimed to unveil directions of journalistic speeches of Magazines Veja and CartaCapital about the June 2013 protests. In order to do it, I resorted to some studies in the field of Pêcheux Works (1990, 1999 2009, 2011, 2013), Courtine (2003, 2006, 2009), Eni Orlandi (1983, 1993, 1996, 2005, 2011), Zandwais (2009), Zoppi-Fontana (2003), among many others. Our corpus were the reports of these two magazines about the protests from June to December 2013. According to the analysis, the research revealed that the designations given to the protests and protesters by the RV diverge according to their interests, however in general, they pointed to the negative appreciation of the terms when it came to protests and protesters who rebelled against capitalism in the streets of big cities. The Carta Capital magazine, on the other hand, presented a heterogeneous discourse in relation to the RV discourse, as it revealed a position in favor of the protests and protesters. / Fundamentando-se na Análise de Discurso pecheuxtiana, este trabalho teve como objetivo desvelar os sentidos dos discursos jornalísticos das revistas Veja e CartaCapital sobre os protestos de junho de 2013. Para isso, recorremos a alguns estudos da área nas obras de Pêcheux (1990, 1999, 2009, 2011, 2013), Courtine (2003, 2006, 2009), Eni Orlandi (1983, 1993, 1996, 2005, 2011), Zandwais (2009), Zoppi-Fontana (2003), entre muitos outros. Nosso corpus foram as reportagens destas duas revistas sobre os protestos no período de junho a dezembro de 2013. De acordo com a análise realizada, a pesquisa revelou que as designações dadas a protestos e manifestantes por parte da RV variaram, de acordo com os seus interesses, mas de maneira geral, elas apontaram para a valorização negativa dos termos, quando se tratava de protestos e manifestantes que se insurgiam contra o capitalismo nas ruas das grandes cidades. Já a revista CartaCapital apresentou um discurso heterogêneo com relação ao discurso da RV, pois revelou uma posição sujeito a favor dos protestos e dos manifestantes.

Avec la montée en puissance de la Chine sur la scène internationale depuis une dizaine d’années, l’image du pays dans les médias français oscille constamment d’un pôle à l’autre, entre tradition et modernité, menace et opportunité, partenariat et rivalité. Les représentations médiatiques de la Chine en France résultent d’une combinaison de facteurs d’ordre politique, économique, culturel et communicationnel. Dans le travail de recherche que nous proposons, ces représentations sont envisagées comme processus de co-construction impliquant de multiples acteurs sociaux, français comme chinois, et soumis à des contraintes avant tout socio-économiques des médias en tant qu’industries culturelles. La recherche tente ainsi de saisir les logiques présidant au fonctionnement des industries du contenu, sur fond de profondes mutations, et de comprendre dans quelle mesure la structuration des entreprises médiatiques est de nature à peser sur la production de l’information internationale ayant trait à la Chine. Cette étude s’appuie sur l’analyse des mécanismes de construction de l’image de la Chine dans trois titres de presse d’information générale et politique française, chacun représentatif d’un type de journal, distinctif par sa fréquence, sa zone de diffusion et ses modalités organisationnelles. Il s’agit d’examiner les transformations économiques, technologiques, gestionnaires et éditoriales de ces médias ainsi que leurs conséquences sur les conditions et leur mode de production et de faire ressortir les convergences et les divergences de modalités de traitement de la Chine entre les différentes familles de presse. Par ailleurs, comme les représentations médiatiques de la Chine en France dépassent largement les enjeux internes liés au seul champ des médias et embrassent des intérêts géopolitiques et, de plus en plus, économiques, nous prenons également en considération l’ensemble de ces paramètres afin d’appréhender l’image de la Chine dans toute sa complexité. / With the rise of China on the global stage over the past decade, the image of the country in the French media is constantly oscillating between tradition and modernity, threat and opportunity, partnership and rivalry. Media representations of China in France result from a combination of political, economic, cultural and communication factors. In this research, these representations are considered as a process of co-construction that involves multiple social actors, French as well as Chinese, and subject to socioeconomic constraints of the media as cultural industries. This study attempts to understand the operational logics of the content industries, against a backdrop of profound changes, and to apprehend how the functioning of media organizations is likely to affect the production of international news related to China. This research is based on the analysis of the construction of China's image in three French newspapers of the general and political information press, each representative of a type of newspaper, distinctive in terms of frequency, dissemination area and organization. The goal is to examine the economic, technological, managerial and editorial transformations of these media and their consequences on the conditions and their mode of production and to point out the convergences and divergences of media coverage of China between the different categories of press. Furthermore, as media representations of China in France extend far beyond the stakes related to the only media field and embrace geopolitical and, increasingly, economic interests, we also take into consideration all these parameters in order to understand the image of China in all its complexity.

These young people, born between 1980 and mid-90s, in the twentieth century, developed together with the new communication technologies have grown up with a computer connected to the Internet world with your mobile phone and interactive games, but still being harassed by magazines. In order to better understand this connection, how Gen Y behaves in the face of advertising and see if there is a pattern of use among these young people were conducted exploratory research in primary and secondary sources supplemented by a descriptive study conclusive. After a review of the literature dealing with the concepts of generation to the profile of Generation Y, and a historical analysis of the media magazine, conducting applied research in the form of focus groups and a descriptive study allowed us to conclude that there is a survival for the print magazine, and for a long time. Aspects such as tangibility, portability and tradition are the pillars that ensure solid reliability at a magazine for young people of Generation Y, overlapping with the electronic media, volatile and unreliable for them. / A conexão que se estabelece entre a publicidade veiculada na mídia impressa revista e os jovens da chamada Geração Y é o principal foco deste trabalho. Estes jovens, nascidos entre 1980 e meados da década de 90, no século XX, se desenvolveram juntamente com as novas tecnologias da comunicação, cresceram com um computador ligado ao mundo pela internet, com o telefone celular e jogos interativos, mas continuam sendo assediados pelas revistas. Com o objetivo de conhecer melhor esta conexão, saber como a Geração Y se comporta diante das mensagens publicitárias e verificar se existe um padrão de consumo entre estes jovens foram realizadas investigações exploratórias em fontes primárias e secundárias complementada por um estudo conclusivo descritivo. Depois de uma revisão da literatura que trata dos conceitos de geração até o perfil da Geração Y, e de uma análise histórica da mídia revista, a realização de pesquisas aplicadas em forma de grupos focais e de um estudo descritivo, nos permitiu concluir que existe uma sobrevida para a mídia impressa revista, e ainda por muito tempo. Aspectos como a tangibilidade, portabilidade e a tradição são os pilares que garantem às revistas uma sólida confiabilidade por parte dos jovens da Geração Y, sobrepondo-se à mídia eletrônica, volátil e pouco confiável para eles.

This study aims to analyze the profile of the printed newspapers of the two major border cities in Mato Grosso do Sul, through the diagnosis of journalistic genres present in this type of frontier media. This choice is due to the fact that these places are not constant targets of research, there are few studies in the area of communication related to boundary issues, as far as we know, none of those connects that location with the production of journalistic genres. Through morphological analysis, we analyzed the sample (obtained by the technique constructed week) of major newspapers on this border area, in order to identify what are the journalistic genres present in the newspapers in question and how they constitute an area of intense cultural exchange. In the Paraguayan border, the studied newspapers were Jornal Regional and ABC Color and in the Bolivian border, the newspapers Gazeta Corumbaense and La Estrella del Oriente. Interviews with journalists from those newspapers were also conducted to understand the production of genres, as well as, by way of illustration, we interviewed some readers of the aforementioned way of communication to understand their vision and find out what are their preferences concerning journalistic genres. Among the results, we have that the boundary matter is not news at the border and that the backwoods characteristic of the media interferes more in news production than the unusual cultural setting of the border. / É em Mato Grosso do Sul que está a maior cidade com fronteira seca do país, Ponta Porã, assim como a principal ligação com a Bolívia, o município de Corumbá. Este estudo objetiva analisar o perfil dos jornais impressos das duas principais fronteiras de Mato Grosso do Sul, por meio do diagnóstico dos gêneros jornalísticos presentes nesse tipo de mídia fronteiriça. Tal escolha deve-se ao fato de que esses locais não são constantes alvos de pesquisa, há poucos estudos na área de comunicação sobre a fronteira e, até onde se buscou conhecer, nenhum que relacione essa localidade com a produção dos gêneros jornalísticos. Por meio da análise morfológica, analisamos a amostra (obtida pela técnica da semana construída) dos jornais de maior circulação dessa área fronteiriça, na busca de identificar quais são os gêneros jornalísticos presentes nos jornais em análise e como eles se constituem em uma área de intensa troca cultural. Na fronteira paraguaia, foram estudados os jornais Jornal Regional e ABC Color e na fronteira boliviana, os jornais Diário Corumbaense e La Estrella del Oriente. Também foram realizadas entrevistas com os jornalistas desses veículos para entendermos a produção dos gêneros, bem como, a título de ilustração, entrevistamos alguns leitores dos veículos acima mencionados para compreendermos a visão que possuem dos veículos analisados e descobrir quais são os gêneros jornalísticos de sua preferência. Entre os resultados encontrados, temos que a fronteira não é notícia na fronteira e que o caráter interiorano da mídia interfere mais na produção jornalística do que o diferenciado cenário cultural da fronteira.

The corpus of research on which we concentrate consisted of covers of the magazine VEJA selected from those published between 2001 and 2010 whose central theme and / or transverse contemplates the figure of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Our research is mainly qualitative. As a theoretical basis, we seek the postulates of Debord (1997) - for whom the show is through the media hype that operates on a particular news; Angelim (2003) for a discussion of polyphony and implicits as argumentative resources in media texts; Ribeiro (2003) with regard to the strategies of seduction in printed texts; Guareschi (1987) in search of the relationship between communication and power, and Foucault (2008) - who believes that one has no right to say anything, under any circumstances. When necessary, we will make several incursions in others supporters of the French line of Discourse Analysis. The analysis allows to confirm the important role of images and colors to stimulate emotions, attracting the eye, awakening the senses, and leading the reader to thinking. We observed that the constitutive process of meaning in the covers of magazines as well as explore the true facts, it seems important to print figurative, sometimes sensational, about some events often irrelevant to the context of the facts in an attempt to manipulate public opinion. / Investigamos o processo discursivo de construção de sentido na Mídia Impressa através do uso de recursos argumentativos do tipo: polifonia, metáfora/metonímia e implícitos como recursos de persuasão na construção de uma imagem do Ex-Presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. O corpus de investigação sobre a qual nos debruçamos foi constituído por capas da revista VEJA selecionadas dentre as publicadas entre os anos de 2001 e 2010, cujo tema central e/ou transverso contempla a figura de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Nossa pesquisa, portanto, foi de ordem documental, fundamentalmente qualitativa. Ancoramo-nos, teoricamente, nos postulados de Debord (1997) - para quem o espetáculo se dá pelo exagero que a mídia opera sobre determinada notícia; Angelim (2003) para uma abordagem da polifonia e dos implícitos enquanto recursos argumentativos em textos midiáticos; Ribeiro (2003) no que diz respeito às estratégias de sedução na mídia impressa; Guareschi (1987) na busca pela relação entre comunicação e poder; e Foucault (2008) - que acredita que não se tem o direito de dizer tudo, em qualquer circunstância. De igual modo, fizemos incursões diversas, quando necessário, em outros suportes da linha francesa de Análise de Discurso. As análises permitiram confirmar o papel importante das imagens e das cores no estímulo de emoções, atraindo o olhar, despertando os sentidos, e conduzindo o leitor ao pensamento. Observamos que o processo constitutivo de sentidos em capas de revistas, além de explorar fatos verdadeiros, parece imprimir importância figurativa, por vezes sensacionalista, sobre alguns acontecimentos muitas vezes irrelevantes ao contexto dos fatos, na tentativa de manipular a opinião pública.

Orientador: Nelyse Apparecida Melro Salzedas / Banca: Adenil Alfeu Domingos / Banca: Heloisa Helou Doca / Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar criticamente a transposição de um relato de um fato real - o assalto ao trem pagador, ocorrido em 1960, no Rio de Janeiro e publicado pelo jornal O Globo - para o meio audiovisual, por meio da reprodução desse mesmo fato no discurso filmico do filme "O assalto ao trem pagador", de 1962, obra cinematográfica que apresenta um releitura do factual com o objetivo de atingir o expectador do meio audiovisual. 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 / Abstract: 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 / Mestre

How to Be A Model Minority: Mastering the American Dream is a satirical instructional manual which teaches readers to be idealized Chinese Americans in order to integrate into American society. The booklet bases its standards off of the model minority myth, a conception of Asian Americans which assumes Asian Americans must repress their Asian heritage and embrace overachievement to attain the socioeconomic status of a middle class white American family. Through color illustrations, photos, and short expository texts, the booklet explains to readers how and why they should accept the standards of the model minority myth, and uses Asian American characters in popular television and movies as references. How to Be a Model Minority humorously deconstructs the model minority myth by exaggerating the expectations the myth places on Asian, particularly Chinese, Americans. This exaggeration allows the reader to question the validity of model minority expectations and the groups truly benefitting from these imposed standards. By examining media representations of Asian Americans, the booklet also suggests the role popular media has in disseminating cultural information.
