Politisk kommunikation genom film : En studie kring hur den realpolitiska agendan speglas i den moderna spelfilmen / Political communication through film : A study of how the polical agenda is reflected in the modern feature film

Enting, Staffan January 2017 (has links)
The aim of this study is to explore the correlation between contemporary political agenda and film themes, how and if the antagonists’ behavior is depicted in relation to whom the political opponent was at the time of the making of the film. The literature is concurrent: movies are used to spread norms and political messages. There are several examples; during the Cold War people and antagonist behavior could clearly be linked to the Soviet Union. During the Gulf War the antagonists was often depicted as Arabic terrorists, but after the war the villain character became unclear and was often represented by natural disasters, organized crime, corruption etc. Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Arabic terrorists once again became the new antagonists. The film selection is made out of the five most profitable movies (adjusted for inflation) that take place in our world that was produced during the Cold War, and five films that fill the same criteria that was produced after the Cold War. My goal was to see if I could see a correlation between the political agenda at the time of the making of the movie, how the antagonists are portrayed and what political themes were addressed. Unexpectedly, I found no such correlation in my film selection. However, I could see similarities in certain genres, such as action, thrillers and adventure movies, that support the theories in the literature. / Jag studerar huruvida man kan dra en parallell mellan den rådande politiska agendan och filmens politiska teman samt hur skurkgestaltningen ter sig i relation till vem den politiska motståndaren var då filmen gjordes. Litteraturen är tydlig kring att film används för att sprida normer och politiska budskap. Det finns flera exempel kring hur man under kalla kriget främst hade Sovjet eller personer och beteenden som tydligt kunde kopplas till Sovjet som skurkar. Efter kalla kriget, i samband med Gulfkriget, blev det under en tid araber för att därefter vara en mer oklar skurkroll (ofta naturkatastrofer, organiserad brottslighet, korruption, etc.). Efter terrorangreppen mot USA den 11:e september 2001 fick man återigen en tydlig motståndare och den arabiske terroristen blev den nya antagonisten. I min studie utgår jag från de fem filmer som drog in mest pengar (justerat för inflation), som utspelar sig i vår värld och som kom under kalla kriget, samt de fem filmer inom samma kategorier som kom därefter. Detta för att se om jag kan se en tydlig parallell mellan den rådande politiska agendan och hur skurkarna gestaltas samt vilka politiska teman som tas upp. Oväntat nog finner jag att ingen sådan tydlig koppling finns i de exemplen. Jag finner liknande paralleller inom vissa genres, såsom actionfilm, thrillers och äventyrsfilm, men ingen direkt koppling till filmen generellt kan göras.

A atividade de ensino de história: processo de formação de professores e alunos / The story of teaching activity: training process of teachers and students

Olavo Pereira Soares 24 June 2005 (has links)
Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar e propor uma metodologia para o ensino de história. Tal metodologia considera duas características específicas das sociedades tecnológicas na inter-relação com as práticas escolares: a cultura midiática que o aluno e o professor carregam em seu interior para o interior da escola, e os processos de formação continuada do professor. Visa-se com tal metodologia colaborar com um ensino de história significativo para alunos e professores, e que a história seja instrumento de compreensão da vida cotidiana e processo contínuo de formação. A pesquisa possibilitou a elaboração de uma proposta teórico-metodológica denominada como atividade de ensino de história. Os referenciais teóricos que sustentam esta proposta são: a teoria da atividade de Aléxis Leontiev que se insere no conjunto da corrente histórico-cultural em psicologia; os pressupostos da pedagogia da comunicação que traz em seu interior o princípio didático do agir comunicacional; as pesquisas que analisam os conceitos de professor reflexivo-investigativo e o professor pesquisador; a historiografia que se identifica com a análise da cultura em diferentes temporalidades. Os referenciais teórico-metodológicos foram utilizados para analisar um conjunto de quatro atividades de ensino de história realizadas entre os anos de 1997-2000 em escolas da rede pública e particular de ensino da cidade de São Paulo. Os dados deste conjunto de aulas foram coletados pelo pesquisador que se serviu dos princípios metodológicos da pesquisa-ação. A análise dos dados à luz da fundamentação teórico-metodológica assumida possibilitou a explicitação de princípios orientadores da construção de atividades de ensino de história. Concluiu-se pela viabilidade de tal proposta e de sua inclusão nos debates sobre ensino de história. / The main goal of this research is to analyze and to propose a methodology for history teaching. Such methodology takes into account two specific characteristics of technological societies in the interrelationship with school practices: the media culture that both student and teacher bring along to school, and teachers continuing education process. Such methodology is intended to contribute towards a more meaningful teaching of History for both parties involved teachers and students in such a way that History becomes a more comprehensive tool in interpreting day-to-day events as well as a continuing education process. The research made it possible to elaborate a theoretical-methodological approach we called History teaching activity. The theoretical milestones upon which such approach is based are: Aléxis Leontiev´s theory of activity, which is part of the historic-cultural approach in psychology; the fundamentals of communication pedagogy and its didactic principle of a communication-oriented attitude; the research which analyzes the concepts of the investigative teacher and the researcher teacher; historiography which identifies itself with culture analysis in different periods in time. The theoretical-methodological references were used to analyze a set of four History teaching activities that took place along the years 1997 to 2000, in public and private schools in the city of São Paulo. The data of these classes were gathered by the researcher who then used the research-action methodological principles. The analysis of the data in the light of such theoretical-methodological principles made it possible for the researcher to show the principles that oriented the construction of History teaching activities. Such proposal was believed to be valid as well as its inclusion in the debate about history teaching.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Viviane Sales Martins.pdf: 1168350 bytes, checksum: 1d952de58daf0256dd7f05f07a0069f5 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-04-29 / Starting from the contextualization of a society influenced by media and consumption culture, it's made a qualitative research with the intention of studying how Brazilian soap opera plays an important role in a context in that the media, with prominence of television, rules the discussed themes and influence the behaviors adopted by the public. The methodological basement is on the speech analysis and in images semiotics analysis. When applying this technique in media study, the relevance is pointed out of linking linguistic constructions with the communicational process loaded of ideological constructions. With semiotics analysis, it is considered the symbolic narrative present in analyzed elements of some chapters of Viver a Vida , exhibited by TV Globo, from September 2009 to May 2010. It's got a contemporary cutting of the sample, prioritizing the research concerning an thematic that involves defining subjects of present as: post modernity; the tripod of century XXI society - of consumption, spectacular and media's; the presence of television in context of mass culture's production and the Brazilian soap opera's influence. / A partir da contextualização de uma sociedade influenciada pela cultura da mídia e do consumo, realiza-se uma pesquisa qualitativa com o intuito de estudar como a telenovela brasileira exerce papel importante em um contexto em que os meios de comunicação, com destaque para a televisão, pautam os temas discutidos e influenciam os comportamentos adotados pelo público. O embasamento metodológico encontra-se na análise do discurso (AD) e na análise semiótica de imagens. Ao se aplicar a técnica de AD no estudo da mídia, ressalta-se a relevância de se relacionar construções linguísticas com o processo comunicacional carregado de construções ideológicas. Com a análise semiótica, considera-se a narrativa simbólica presente nos elementos analisados de alguns capítulos da telenovela Viver a Vida, exibida pela Rede Globo, de setembro de 2009 a maio de 2010. Tem-se, assim, um recorte contemporâneo da amostra, priorizando a pesquisa acerca de uma temática que envolve questões definidoras da atualidade como: pós-modernidade; o tripé da sociedade do século XXI de consumo, espetacular e midiática; a presença da televisão no contexto de produção da cultura de massa e a influência da telenovela brasileira.

La pratique des séries télévisées : une sociologie de l’activité spectatorielle / The practice of TV series : a sociology of the activity of spectating

Combes, Clément 12 September 2013 (has links)
Que signifie aimer une « série télé » aujourd’hui ? Ou, selon une formulation plus pragmatiste, que font faire les séries à leurs spectateurs ? Pour répondre à ces questions, cette thèse invite à se démarquer du paradigme de la réception – lequel fournit la majorité des études sur le sujet – et explorer les ressorts et contours de la pratique des séries. Il s’agit d’étudier les activités concrètes dans lesquelles s’engagent les amateurs, la façon dont se tissent leur attachement aux séries, les ingrédients de ce tissage, les appuis et prises matériels, techniques et relationnels de cet attachement. Ce travail montre que la pratique spectatorielle ne s’arrête pas au seul moment du visionnage, lorsque l’individu est devant son poste, mais s’étend à l’ensemble des activités, des temps et des espaces au cours desquels celui-ci entre en relation avec une série. À partir d’une quarantaine d’entretiens approfondis et de l’examen des principaux relais sociotechniques et médiatiques des séries, la thèse se propose de suivre les amateurs dans leurs pratiques quotidiennes, du visionnage et de la conservation des séries à leurs échanges conversationnels, en passant par les procédures d’information et de découverte, d’approvisionnement et de partage de contenus. Autant d’activités, non pas seulement « réceptives », mais réflexives, corporées, instrumentées et collectives, qui permettent d’apprécier la diversité des formes d’attachement des « sériphiles » à ces objets singuliers. / What does it means to love a "TV series" nowadays? Or, to use a more pragmatic formulation, what do television series make their viewers do? To answer these questions, this thesis invites the reader to move beyond the paradigm of reception – on which the majority of studies in the field build upon - and explore the remits and contours of the practice of series. The aim is to study the practical activities undertaken by amateurs, how their attachments to the series are built, the ingredients of this attachment, and the material, technical and relational means of this attachment. This work shows that spectators' practices do not stop at the moment of viewing, when the individual is in front of his post, but extends to all activities, times and spaces through which an individual connects to a series. Drawing upon forty in-depth interviews and an examination of the ways in which series are socio-technically mediated, the thesis proposes to follow amateurs in their daily practices, from the viewing and storage of series, to their conversational exchanges, as well as through the procedures of information and discovery, procurement and sharing of content. All these activities are not only "receptive". As the thesis shows, they are at once reflexive, embodied, instrumented and collective, and they reveal the diversity of attachments of the "seriephiles" to these singular objects.

[pt] A INCRÍVEL HISTÓRIA DE LENY EVERSONG OU A POTÊNCIA DA MEMÓRIA CONTRA PADRÕES ESTÉTICOS E PATRULHAS NACIONALISTA / [en] THE AMAZING STORY OF LENY EVERSONG OR THE POWER OF MEMORY AGAINST AESTHETIC STANDARDS AND NATIONALISTIC PATROLS

RODRIGO FAOUR TEIXEIRA 01 June 2020 (has links)
[pt] Este trabalho debate criticamente a obra da cantora paulista Leny Eversong (1920-1984), de grande sucesso nas décadas de 1950 e 60, sobre a qual se verificou um acentuado apagamento na memória cultural e artística brasileira. Traz seu legado e questões relativas à sua biografia para a contemporaneidade. Além do resgate de sua história, são discutidos neste trabalho a sobrevivência de artistas do sexo feminino fora do padrão normativo (de beleza, sensualidade, peso, repertório, voz) na cultura midiática brasileira, bem como o nacionalismo populista da imprensa e dos historiadores de seu tempo ao lidar com uma artista que se projetou defendendo um repertório essencialmente internacional que não se encaixava nos cânones tradicionais por eles valorizados. / [en] This dissertation critically analyzes the work of São Paulo-born singer Leny Eversong (1920-1984), who enjoyed great success back in the 1950s and 1960s, but vanished from the Brazilian cultural and artistic memory. It showcases her legacy and issues regarding her biography to the contemporaneity. Besides the redemption of her story, this work discusses the survival of female artists outside the normative beauty and artistic standards in Brazilian media culture. It also highlights the populist nationalism of the press and historians of her time when dealing with an artist who stepped out with an essentially international repertoire that did not fit the traditional criteria considered dear to them.

Konst i omlopp : mening, medier och marknad i Stockholm under 1700-talets senare hälft / Art in Circulation : Meaning, Media, and Market in Eighteenth-Century Stockholm

Petersson, Sonya January 2014 (has links)
The aim of this doctoral thesis is to explore how art was mediated and given meaning in the environment of an urban media culture in Stockholm during the second part of the 18th century. It comprises studies of how art was distributed on the market, how it was discussed in the press and how it was exhibited in public. It also includes an analytical orientation toward mixing of concepts and values, rather than purifying them into categories such as elite and popular. Art is approached as an open concept of investigation. The thesis presents three studies. The first discusses art as concepts and subject matter in papers, pamphlets and encyclopaedias, with a critical stand against the historiography emphasizing the establishment of the 'fine arts'.  The second situates art in two parallel practises of showing art in public, exhibitions arranged by the Academy of Arts and the Auction Chamber's public sales. The third deals with prints on the market, a medium equally recognized as one of the fine arts and as a visual mass medium. All studies also consider notions of interaction, public, and social class. Two overarching arguments are developed. The first concerns media cultural functions as mechanisms of cultural transgression. This argument points to the mixing of international and local, regarding both themes in the press and prints on the market. It also stresses the mixing of art, commerce, and entertainment, in the dual character of both the academy's exhibitions and the auction's sales. The second argument consists in pointing to alternative cuts, by which I suggest discursive relations between art, luxury, entertainment, and knowledge. These are areas that, since the 18th century, have often been kept apart, but were nonetheless deeply interwoven. One overarchig pattern studied throughout the thesis is the 18th-century linking of the fine arts as well as luxury, entertainment, and knowledge to a perceptually defined subject.

Black Food Trucks Matter: A Qualitative Study Examining The (Mis)Representation, Underestimation, and Contribution of Black Entrepreneurs In The Food Truck Industry

Ariel D Smith (14223191) 11 August 2023 (has links)
<p>Food trucks have become increasingly popular over the last decade following the Great Recession of 2008. Scholars have begun to study the food truck phenomenon, its future projected trajectory, and even positioning it within social justice discourse along cultural lines; however, scholarship has yet to address the participation of Black entrepreneurs in the food truck industry.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The objective of this dissertation is to expand the perception of Black food entrepreneurs within the food truck industry by interrogating how Black food truck owners are misrepresented, under analyzed, and underestimated. Using a series of interdisciplinary qualitative methods including introspective analysis, thematic coding analysis, and case studies, I approach this objective by addressing three questions. First, I analyze movies and television to understand where Black-owned food trucks are represented in popular culture and how they are depicted. In doing so, we come to understand that Black business representation, specifically Black food truck representation consistently falls victim to negative stereotypes. These stereotypes can influence the extent to which Black food truck owners are taken seriously and seen as legitimate business leaders in their community. Second, I interview 16 Black food truck entrepreneurs to understand why the mobile food industry appealed to them and how it has become a platform for them to explore other opportunities. Finally, I review eight cities that have launched Black food truck festivals and parks within the last 6 years to gain an understanding of the collective power wielded by Black food truck owners and its impact Black communities. Moreover, this dissertation challenges the myth that collectivism does not exist among Black entrepreneurs and the Black community broadly.</p>
