Using qualitative content analysis the paper examines, how the "baby rape" phenomenon is described in South African media production and how it relates to the new democracy in the post-apartheid South Africa. Likewise, attention is paid to the issue of virginity testing, which is interpreted as a reaction to the "moral crisis" of the newly formed democratic nation. The examined issue is viewed in the wider context of social relations, therefore using an intersectional approach. The analytical aspect of the analysis includes the categories of race, gender, and sexuality. The intersectional concept analyzes the role of media representation in designing individual social categories and thus strengthening certain forms of oppression. The theoretical background of the work is based on black feminism and the Stanley Cohen's theory of moral panic. With analysing media representation it is examined the way the gender, sexuality, and race are studied and represented in order to answer the thesis question of how Western discourse intersects through these analytical categories. Keywords: media representation, qualitative content analysis, intersectionality, politization of...
72	Le discours sur la sexualité dans la web-série pédagogique On parle de sexe : une démonstration des normes sociales dans l’éducation sexuelle au Québec Côté, Fylicia 09 1900 (has links) En 2017, l’éducation à la sexualité au Québec est redevenue obligatoire dans la foulée des dénonciations de violences sexuelles sur les réseaux sociaux avec les #metoo et #moiaussi. Conjointement, plusieurs discours autour de l’hypersexualisation des jeunes filles, de l’accessibilité à la pornographie et de la multiplication de contenus à caractère sexuel dans les médias numériques inquiètent de plus en plus les adultes québécois.e.s (Mercier, 2016). Des initiatives pour répondre à ce que nous considérons, dans ce mémoire, comme une panique morale ont donc vu le jour. Ainsi, Télé-Québec a pour mandat de faire des capsules humoristiques et ludiques adressées aux jeunes de 12 à 15 ans pour faire leur éducation sexuelle avec On parle de sexe (2018-2019). Dans le cadre du mémoire, nous nous posons la question: est-ce que ces capsules reproduisent ou remettent en question des normes sociales véhiculées au Québec autour de la sexualité? Pour y répondre, nous mobilisons les théories critiques de la sexualité (Foucault, Rubin, Bozon) afin de développer l’analyse d’une capsule qui traite des pratiques sexuelles « moins conventionnelles ». À travers une analyse textuelle et visuelle, nous avons constaté une tension entre le désir de discuter de sexualité de manière décomplexée et de protéger la jeunesse contre les maux contemporains liées à la panique morale des adultes. Le dispositif de la sexualité (Foucault) nous permet d’inscrire l’étude de cet échantillon dans un contexte sociopolitique et historique particulier au Québec, en nous permettant de tirer des conclusions autour de l’humour comme vecteur d’oppression ou de libération des normes sociales autour de la sexualité. / Since 2017, sexual education in Quebec has once again become mandatory in the context of widespread accusations of sexual violence on social media (#metoo, #moiaussi). Following this wave, several initiatives have emerged to respond to what we describe in this study as a « moral panic » around youth sexuality associated with widespread access to sexually explicit material on the Internet. Quebec adults are increasingly concerned about the hypersexualisation of young girls, the accessibility of pornography and the proliferation of sexual content. In this context, the Québec public broadcasting company Télé-Québec produced a web series entitled “On parle de sexe” (2018-2019) that explores various questions around sexuality in humorous and playful episodes addressed to teenagers aged 12 to 15. This study explores the following question: does this web series reproduce or question the social norms used in Quebec around sexuality? In order to respond to this question, we draw on the field of critical sexuality studies (Foucault, Rubin, Bozon) to analyze one episode that deals with “less conventional” sexual practices. Through textual and visual analysis, we explore a tension between the desire to discuss sexuality in an uninhibited manner and to protect youth from the contemporary evils associated with moral panic. The dispositif of sexuality (Foucault) allows us to situate the study of this sample in a particular socio-political and historical context in Quebec, while allowing us to draw conclusions around humour as a vector of oppression or liberation from social norms.

75	Les effets politiques des spectacles médiatiques d’immigration : une analyse critique des discours de la presse écrite canadienne sur l’arrivée du MV Sun Sea Blondin-Gravel, Raphaëlle 01 1900 (has links) Ce mémoire de maîtrise porte sur les effets politiques des discours médiatiques sur la gouvernance et la régulation des demandeurs d’asile au Canada. À travers une analyse critique des discours de la presse écrite canadienne au sujet de l’arrivée en août 2010 de 492 requérants du statut de réfugié à bord du bateau MV Sun Sea en Colombie-Britannique, l’auteure identifie les principales interprétations de cet évènement ainsi que leurs relations avec la mise en place subséquente de mesures visant à restreindre les possibilités d’accès non autorisés au Canada, notamment par la création d’une nouvelle catégorisation discriminatoire des demandeurs d’asile. L’analyse révèle l’articulation de ces discours autour de deux thématiques distinctes, mais interreliées. Tandis que les discours sécuritaires associent l’arrivée non autorisée des demandeurs d’asile à une menace à la sécurité de la nation, les discours humanitaires interprètent cet évènement comme une demande d’aide de la part d’un groupe de personnes menacées par leur propre pays. Ce mémoire propose une analyse multidimensionnelle de ces deux cadrages et de leurs effets politiques qui considère leurs dimensions discursives, contextuelles et affectives. L’analyse démontre comment ces deux discours en apparence conflictuels partagent en fait un même sous-texte racial qui fait de ce type de spectacle médiatique un dispositif clé de « gouvernementalité racialisée de l’immigration » (Bilge, 2012, 2013). / This master’s thesis addresses the political effects of media discourses on the governance and regulation of asylum seekers in Canada. Through a critical analysis of the Canadian press discourses around the arrival on august 2010 of 492 asylum seekers on the ship MV Sun Sea in British Columbia, the author identify the main interpretations of this event, along with their relations with the subsequent establishment of restrictive measures designed to prevent the possibilities of unauthorised arrivals to Canada, especially through the creation of a new discriminatory categorisation for asylum seekers. Analysis reveals the articulation of these discourses around two distinctive but interconnected themes. While security discourses associate the unauthorised arrival of the asylum seekers as a threat to national security, humanitarian discourses interpret this event as a request for help from a group of persons threatened by their own country. This thesis proposes a multidimensional analysis of these framings and of their political effects that considers their discursive, contextual and affective dimensions. The analysis reveals that these two apparently opposed discourses actually share the same racial subtext making this kind of media spectacle a key device of the “racialised governementality of immigration” (Bilge, 2012, 2013).

76	Mediální terorismus prostřednictvím bakterie E.coli / "Media terrorism" via bacteria E.coli Füleová, Veronika January 2013 (has links) The diploma thesis "Media terrorism via bacteria E.coli" puts the so-called cucumber affair from Summer 2011 into wider context and aims to discover the main attributes of contemporary risks and define the way they are presented in the media. Misguiding media releases and the inability to identify the source of the bloody diarrhea outbreak in Germany caused by E.coli bacteria have collectively had a significant impact on consumer behavior and economic stability on a global level. Most people are dependent on government and expert authorities due to the fact that they cannot recognize what represents a realistic threat and what serves as a basis for media sensation. This is why this thesis studies the social constructionist theory, basic media routines and practices as well as theoretical concepts that support the production of pseudo-events. A content analysis of selected Czech dailies and weeklies was executed in order to enable a comparison of the language that has been common for all "pandemics" in the 21st century.

78	From the "rising tide" to solidarity: disrupting dominant crisis discourses in dementia social policy in neoliberal times MacLeod, Suzanne 26 March 2014 (has links) As a social worker practising in long-term residential care for people living with dementia, I am alarmed by discourses in the media and health policy that construct persons living with dementia and their health care needs as a threatening “rising tide” or crisis. I am particularly concerned about the material effects such dominant discourses, and the values they uphold, might have on the collective provision of care and support for our elderly citizens in the present neoliberal economic and political context of health care. To better understand how dominant discourses about dementia work at this time when Canada’s population is aging and the number of persons living with dementia is anticipated to increase, I have rooted my thesis in poststructural methodology. My research method is a discourse analysis, which draws on Foucault’s archaeological and genealogical concepts, to examine two contemporary health policy documents related to dementia care – one national and one provincial. I also incorporate some poetic representation – or found poetry – to write up my findings. While deconstructing and disrupting taken for granted dominant crisis discourses on dementia in health policy, my research also makes space for alternative constructions to support discursive and health policy possibilities in solidarity with persons living with dementia so that they may thrive. / Graduate / 0452 / 0680 / 0351 / macsuz@shaw.ca social determinants of health social exclusion crisis discourse Alzheimer's Alzheimer Society of Canada Suzanne MacLeod Susan Strega Donna Jeffery poststructural poststructuralism admission to long-term care funding for long-term care acute care aging demographic BC Psychogeriatric Association biomedical British Columbia Canada Health Act collective social responsibility competition corporate profit corporatization deresponsibilization elder friendly elderly citizens family caregivers Foucault found poetry genealogy of power knowledge incompetent Ministry of Health moral economics pharmaceutical bed blocker stigmatized tsunami absent-person action plan aging population alternative discourse apocalyptic demography appropriate archaeology archaeology of knowledge archaeological British Columbia burden Canada caregiver charity charitable collective collective car community community care condition of possibility conditions of possibility corporate counter-discourse dementia dementia care dementia policy dementia social policy dependent depoliticize discourse discourse analysis disruptive discourse economic burden economics economy elder emergency epidemic exclusion fear-monger Foucauldian found poem genealogy genealogical health authority health care health care staff health care system health policy document healthy lifestyle home and community care homogenization homogenize hospital imaginaries imaginary incapable individual responsibility individualism knowledge long-term care material effect materiality of discourse media moral panic national strategy neoliberal neoliberalism neoliberal rationality not prepared object objectification other person-centered people living with dementia person living with dementia persons living with dementia person with dementia poem poetic representation poetry policy policies political politics power power knowledge power relations private privatize privatization productivity of dominant discourse public health care residential care resistance responsibility responsibilization rising tide safety net shift costs to caregivers responsibility social policy imaginary social well-being social work social worker solidarity specialized stakeholder state stigma subject matter expert taxpayer threat unprepared unproductive voluntary volunteer wait time wave social policy
