O evento de 11 de setembro nos EUA e o discurso da internet / The attack of September 11th in the USA and the Internet\' s discourse

Sidney de Campos 11 September 2006 (has links)
Este trabalho é uma análise do hipertexto veiculado pela Internet sob a ótica da Análise do Discurso e da Semântica Histórica da Enunciação. Temos como ponto de partida uma discussão sobre os aspectos do suporte digital de textos e as mudanças que podem causar no processo de construção do significado. O objetivo é estudar os movimentos efetuados durante a navegação pela Internet e verificar se o processo de abertura e fechamento de páginas pode afetar a construção de sentidos. O corpus foi coletado de um Website jornalístico (CNN.com), o qual cobriu as primeiras horas posteriores ao ataque de 11 de Setembro nos EUA. Esse ato inédito contra o território americano inspirou um grande volume de produção de textos, além de a Internet ter sua primeira chance de cobrir um evento dessa proporção. Assim, tanto o ataque quanto a cobertura dessa mídia podem ter gerado elementos novos que contribuíram para a formação de outros métodos de se escrever e ler a notícia. Em nossa análise, observamos elementos verbais e não-verbais, bem como a importância desses componentes que não apenas dão forma à identidade do hipertexto, mas também contribuem para o processo de apreensão de sentidos. A ativação desses elementos proporciona à Internet um sistema de operação intertextual que pode demonstrar algumas mudanças na maneira em que as informações são processadas por aqueles que as produzem e pelos outros que as lêem. / This is an analysis of the hypertext in the Internet using principles of Discourse Analysis and Historic Semantics which starts from a discussion about some features of the digital text support and the changes it may be causing in the process of signification. The objective is to study the movements made during the navigation of the Internet and verify if the process of opening and closing pages may affect the meaning formation. The corpus has been collected from a journalistic Website (CNN.com) that covered the first hours after the attack of September 11th in the USA. This unprecedented act against the American territory inspired an enormous amount of text production and the Internet had the first chance of covering an event of such a magnitude. Therefore both the attack and this media coverage may have provided firsthand elements that may have helped to found different methods of writing and reading the news. In the analysis we have observed verbal and non-verbal elements and the importance of these components that not only format the identity of the hypertext but also contribute to the process of meaning apprehension. The activation of these elements gives the Internet a system to operate inter-textual relations that may show some changes in the way information is processed by ones who produce it and the ones who read it.

Exploring Family Heritage and Personal Space to Find Meaning and Content in Student Art

Wilhelm, Rebecca Link 01 March 2016 (has links)
As an art educator, I found student art lacking in meaning and students lacking personal engagement. I sought a way to engage students in more meaningful art-making in the classroom by exploring family heritage and personal spaces. This case study searched the family heritage and personal spaces of students in a junior high art class to engage students and find deeper meaning and context for student art-making. The research was informed through an arts-based inquiry with a/r/tographic influence. It was a qualitative inquiry, mining the familiar for development of a curriculum rich in context and personal significance for students. This inquiry examined the influences of family through art-making and research into the visual culture of student homes and heritage. We curated our personal spaces and made art that reflected our findings, keeping reflexive journals of our experiences, and exhibiting our art in a culmination of our research. The results were meaningful content in student art as well as more enthusiastic engagement in the art making process. This experience gleaned more than just student art rich in meaning, but in a deeper understanding of one another in our classroom.

BACKPEDALING NUGGET SMUGGLERS: A FACEBOOK AND NEWS ARTICLE THEMATIC ANALYSIS OF CHICK-FIL-A VS. GAY MARRIAGE

Wiedmaier, Stacy M 01 June 2017 (has links)
This study utilizes William Benoit’s Image Repair Theory to frame the dominant crisis communication strategies that fast food chain Chick-fil-A (CFA) employed before, during and after their CEO mixed his personal opinion on social issues with corporate policy in June 2012. The thematic analysis draws from three distinct data sets that include 3,900 Facebook comments posted by the general public on CFA’s social media page, 32 individual Atlanta Journal-Constitution news articles that address the debate and CFA’s public response to the crisis titled “Who We Are.” This thesis aims to identify both the dominant themes in Facebook posts and the news articles, as well as how these themes are situated within Benoit’s Image Repair Theory. Research shows that CFA representatives utilized eight of Benoit’s 14 strategies to address their CEO’s comments on gay marriage in an attempt to salvage their reputation. The transcendence strategy was used more than any other throughout the crisis. The thematic analysis of Facebook comments showed that religion and loyalty were the most addressed theme within social media users’ posts on the company’s page. Research also shows that a national boycott initiated against CFA by the LGBTQ community did not hurt the company, but may have helped to spur brand recognition and overall sales. Another pertinent question arose during this research; did company representatives purposely forgo sharing their 2011 and 2012 tax documents that prove they had already stopped contributing to supposed anti-gay organizations more than a year before the controversy arose? Was CFA benefiting from the crisis to such an extent that they strategically remained silent and allowed the misconception to take place when they could have ended the crisis and shown proof?

Music in the Year 8 Classroom: An Action Research Project

Hartwig, Kay, n/a January 2004 (has links)
The number of students electing to study music at the Senior Level in Queensland State High Schools has declined over recent years. Year 8 is the last time that students experience music lessons before being faced with subject choices. This study investigates the year 8 music program - its content and delivery. What can be done to improve music teaching in year 8? How can we present experiences at this level that will stimulate students' interest; improve their knowledge and skills; and develop students' aesthetic sensitivity to the art of music? This study involved conducting an action research project in a year 8 music class. This was done in collaboration with the classroom music teacher and her class of 25 students. The cyclical process as described by Zuber-Skerritt - acting, observing, reflecting, planning - was adopted. The study aimed: (a) to document positive experiences that could be used in the year 8 music classroom; (b) to stimulate new interest in the studying of senior music; (c) to discover ways to encourage music teachers to become reflective practitioners with a view to improving their practice; (d) to offer an action research model that other music teachers could implement in their classroom. The data collection involved the keeping of journals by the teacher and researcher; recorded interviews with the teacher and students; videos and photographs of the class; as well as interviews with other year 8 music teachers. The study identified a negative attitude by music teachers to the teaching of year 8 music. The dominant theme being taught at this level is Pop Music with a foundation unit being the starting point. Year 8 students also revealed a negative attitude to music lessons. This research project has demonstrated that it is possible to set up a program which engages year 8 students in music making and provides them with worthwhile learning experiences. However, at the end of the project, there was not a significant increase in the number of students electing to study music at the senior level. The study also set up a model for action research that could be adopted by other music teachers in their classrooms. The results of reflective practice employed by the researcher and the music teacher provided positive attitudes for other music teachers and encouragement for others to implement this practice in their classroom. Further studies are needed to involve other music teachers in reflective practice; collaboration in action research (especially in the year 8 classroom); and also the implementation of the new syllabus that will have a positive effect on the future of the subject of music and a positive effect on students' attitudes to the music subject.

Design, testing and analysis of journal bearings for construction equipment

Strand, Henrik January 2005 (has links)
Grease-lubricated journal bearings present a common challenge for construction equipment manufacturers in the world. The common design methodology is based on empirical data and has worked very well historically because the market and governments have accepted that bearings in construction equipment need frequent lubrication and exchange of worn parts. Legal and market requirements will soon demand lower environmental impact and increased machine efficiency. These requirements call for better methods of designing grease lubricated journal bearings. The goal of the outlined work was to develop better design methods for grease lubricated journal-bearing design used in heavy-duty construction equipment machines, in order to prolong life and lubrication intervals. The research approach of the project can roughly be divided into three phases: 1. Development of test apparatus and test methods for journal bearing studies. 2. Bench tests of grease lubricated journal bearing design. 3. Verification between bench tests and computer simulations. In the thesis the current state of the art in bearing design for construction equipment is discussed and summarized in the form of design guidelines. The suggested design steps are just a mean to get to the starting point of design. The simple guidelines do however serve a purpose when collected since most published bearing design guidelines are aimed at the bushing material or at continuously rotating bearings. The influence of housing, environment and load cases can not be ignored when designing a bearing. Long term field-testing and experience can not be replaced until better design criteria have been established. Paper A deals with the design of the bearing test apparatus that was built and evaluated. Comparisons between theoretical contact and contact elements in Finite Element program have been made and discussed in paper B. In paper C a replica technique for measuring wear of large field specimens was evaluated. A case study of bearing housing design was performed in paper D utilizing Finite Element program and then validated in paper E in the bearing test apparatus. The influence of grease groove design on bushing life was tested and evaluated in paper F. Wear simulation of a plain bushing has been performed with a Finite Element program and presented in paper G. / QC 20100930

Jean-Charles Harvey, défenseur des libertés et promoteur de la modernité : le jour (1937-1946)

Simard, David Éric January 2007 (has links) (PDF)
Notre essai critique se penche sur la contribution de Jean-Charles Harvey à la lutte pour les libertés et la modernisation du Canada français, et cela tout au long de l'existence de son journal de combat, Le Jour, qu'il dirigea de 1937 à 1946. Libre penseur aux idées empreintes de l'esprit des Lumières, Harvey fut le principal porte-voix du libéralisme moderne du Canada français durant une époque marquée par l'influence de l'idéologie traditionaliste et cléricale. Nous soulignons notamment le contexte et la nature des combats d'Harvey contre les tenants du traditionalisme, parmi lesquels nous avons pu identifier Lionel Groulx en tant que l'un des principaux adversaires idéologiques d'Harvey. Notre recherche nous a permis de constater que l'idéologie traditionaliste constituait un frein à l'avènement de la modernité au Canada français, devant quoi nous avons voulu cerner le rôle d'aiguillon que jouait Jean-Charles Harvey en tant que précurseur important de la modernisation que le Québec a fini par embrasser lors de l'avènement de la Révolution tranquille. Nous entendons également mesurer la contribution de Jean-Charles Harvey vis-à-vis les principaux enjeux et causes dont il fit du Jour un véhicule privilégié: l'éducation laïque, gratuite et obligatoire, le suffrage féminin, la laïcité, la lutte contre le traditionalisme -y compris le type de nationalisme instillé par ce dernier, la participation canadienne à la Deuxième guerre mondiale et l'unité canadienne. Nous abordons donc globalement l'héritage de Harvey en tant que précurseur de la modernisation de la société québécoise, de même que les interprétations émises par certains auteurs quant à l'oeuvre d'Harvey durant l'époque du Jour. Enfin, nous livrons l'évaluation que l'ensemble de notre recherche nous a permis de tirer quant à son bilan et à son impact sur la société québécoise telle qu'elle aura évolué après l'époque du Jour.

L'eau prise aux mots : res communes ou marchandises? La participation de La Presse et du Devoir dans la construction d'une culture environnementale lors du débat sur la privatisation de l'eau au Québec de 1995 à 2005

Vézina, Catherine January 2008 (has links) (PDF)
En l'espace de deux décennies, la société québécoise est passée du grand silence sur les enjeux environnementaux à une profusion de la parole « verte ». Mais en parler plus, est-ce forcément en parler mieux? Dans une logique de compréhension des problématiques environnementales, les citoyens sont-ils aujourd'hui mieux outillés maintenant que l'environnement se trouve sous toutes les tribunes? Ce mémoire est le résultat d'une volonté de saisir le lien entre les communications médiatiques, l'environnement et l'action. L'apparition et le maintien de rapports compatibles avec l'environnement sont freinés ou favorisés par des facteurs individuels, environnementaux et culturels. Cette recherche s'intéresse à un type d'acteur ayant une influence indirecte sur l'action en environnement en ce qu'il constitue un instrument d'éducation, un médiateur, et un créateur de représentations: les médias de masse. L'eau est au coeur des activités sociales, économiques et politiques du Québec. De plus, l'un des principaux enjeux internationaux du XXIe siècle sera, sans contredit, la gestion de l'eau. Lorsque prise aux mots des médias, quelle représentation de l'eau y retrouve-t-on? Afin de répondre à cette question, cette étude repose sur une analyse de contenu des articles de presse entourant le débat sur la privatisation de l'eau au Québec dans La Presse et le Devoir, pour la décennie 1995 à 2005. Les résultats indiquent que la dimension environnementale de la problématique a été diluée au profit d'une couverture axée sur la controverse politique et économique entourant le litige. En ce qui concerne la valeur éducative de la couverture, celle-ci se caractérise par une teneur événementielle, des articles pauvres en explications, pessimistes, ainsi qu'une représentation des citoyens comme peu utiles. Ainsi, si la Presse et Le Devoir ont été très efficaces afin d'alerter la population face aux dangers d'une privatisation, ceux-ci ne se sont pas présentés comme des outils d'éducation à l'environnement permettant de comprendre le litige. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Analyse de contenu, Culture, Eau, Éducation relative à l'environnement, Facteurs de motivation en action environnementale, Québec, Médias, Privatisation, Représentation.

La perception de la fête internationale des travailleurs dans les journaux canadiens entre 1906 et 1945

Zombecki, François January 2008 (has links) (PDF)
Le 1er mai 1906, les membres d'un éphémère parti socialiste canadien organisent à Montréal la première célébration de la fête internationale des travailleurs. Des centaines de personnes y défilent sous le drapeau rouge. L'événement se répète ensuite presque chaque année, et s'étend à la plupart des grandes villes du pays. L'histoire du mouvement socialiste / communiste au Canada et au Québec a certes été écrite, mais l'historiographie délaisse le sujet de sa fête annuelle. Pourtant, les journaux canadiens ont couvert l'événement, année après année, léguant aux générations suivantes une riche couverture. Celle-ci représente un outil utile, bien qu'imparfait, pour mieux saisir l'opinion de la population de l'époque à l'endroit des communistes. La présente recherche analyse plus de 400 articles de grands quotidiens pour sonder la perception des Canadiens, durant la première moitié du XXe siècle, quant au phénomène de la fête du 1er mai et au mouvement socialiste / communiste qui l'anime. Dans un premier temps, nos recherches présentent la couverture des journaux de plusieurs grandes villes canadiennes. Nous constatons alors d'importantes différences entre la perception des Canadiens français et celle des Canadiens anglais au Québec. Nous découvrons également une affinité particulière à Winnipeg -et même à Vancouver, dans une moindre mesure -pour le mouvement et sa fête. Le facteur ethnique explique en bonne partie tant les affinités de certaines communautés pour le mouvement, que la répulsion des Canadiens français. Dans un deuxième temps, à travers une approche chronologique plutôt que régionale, des facteurs conjoncturels et internationaux expliquent les fluctuations dans le ton des journaux entre 1906 et 1945. Ce travail de recherche jette la lumière sur une fête particulière, exclue du calendrier officiel nord américain et pourtant observée à travers la majeure partie du monde occidental. L'analyse de la couverture journalistique de l'événement permet de tirer d'intéressantes conclusions quant à la façon dont a été perçu le mouvement communiste canadien, au moment de son apogée. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : 1er mai, Communisme, Socialisme, Travail, Travailleurs, Canada.

Représentations de la minorité juive dans la presse écrite francophone québécoise

Tremblay, Marika January 2009 (has links) (PDF)
Prendre la mesure des frontières de la communauté politique québécoise est le but de ce mémoire. Pour ce faire, nous analysons le discours journalistique d'information sur les accommodements religieux. Nous identifions les représentations véhiculées au sujet de la minorité juive dans la presse écrite québécoise francophone (La Presse, Le Soleil, Le Devoir et le Journal de Montréal) entre mars 2006 et avril 2007, période durant laquelle on remarque une intensification du « débat sur les accommodements raisonnables » (Potvin et al., 2008; Potvin, 2008). Pour marquer la spécificité de cette période, nous considérons aussi les cas de l'érouv (2000-2001) et de la souccah (1998-2004). À l'aide d'une approche culturaliste, le concept de cadre médiatique (frame) est approfondi. Il est ensuite opérationnalisé en vue d'être utilisé pour identifier de façon inductive les représentations de la minorité juive.Nous avons dégagé quatre cadres mobilisés par les journalistes pour traiter de la minorité juive québécoise : les cadres dits de procédure, pluraliste, libéral et «majorité-minorité». Nous avons donc constaté la concurrence, voire les tensions entre différents discours à propos de situations d'accommodement avec des membres de la minorité juive. Pourtant, le cadre pluraliste a été observé seulement lors de la couverture médiatique des cas de l'érouv et de la souccah alors que le cadre «majorité-minorité» a prévalu dans les textes publiés suite à l'affaire des fenêtres givrées du YMCA de l'Avenue du Parc. Ce renversement va de pair avec le glissement du sens du mot «accommodement». «Accommoder» est devenu durant cette période synonyme de «plier». Parce qu'il se construit sur des modalités d'exclusion, le cadre «majorité-minorité» donne plusieurs indices sur les frontières de la communauté politique québécoise. Juger que les individus à l'origine d'une demande d'accommodement pratiquent leur religion de façon radicale suffisait pour rejeter toute demande faite par ce groupe. Il semble donc que le caractère religieux au coeur de l'identité juive ait collaboré ou même provoqué l'oscillation entre différents types de discours à propos de cette même identité juive. Le simple fait d'être Juif a été associé à une forme de radicalité religieuse, radicalité qui en retour serait constitutive d'une extériorité. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Presse, Accommodements religieux, Minorité Juive, Cadre médiatique, Communauté politique, Québec.
