This thesis had determined the “radical” nature of Ramparts magazine.This was accomplished through the use of thematic and/or assertive analysis. This procedure entailed the use of three “content” categories which included Ramparts’ treatment of the American involvement in the Viet Nam war, its treatment of American politicians and/or political figures and its treatment of black (Negro) Americans. Each theme or assertion was assigned a “directional” category of “favorable (+),” “unfavorable (-)” or “neutral (0).”Among the major results derived from this study were the overall “favorable” reportage which pertained to the Ramparts coverage of the Viet Nam issue, the proximate balance achieved in relation to the coverage of American politicians and the overall “unfavorable” coverage which related to black Americans.The conclusions which emanated from such were that the reporting found in Ramparts almost never contained complete “objectivity” in that similar material was treated differently within and among each content and directional category. Therefore, the proof that Ramparts was a periodical on the “left” was confirmed.

Apart from the introduction in the first chapter and the conclusion in the last chapter, this thesis consists of two parts. The first part comprises of Chapters Two and Three which deal with the history of the LiangYou Printing & Publishing Company and its pictorial magazine The Young Companion, putting mainly the progress of the Company and its magazine in the order of their establishment, development and extinction, and analyzing the Company's publications in order to show a full view of the magazine to the readers. The second part mainly explores the age and milieu as depicted in The Young Companion. This part is primarily a textual study, discussing the magazines views of China and the world through its news reports, special columns and serial features. / The Young Companion, after its virgin publication in 1926 in Shanghai, China, rapidly became an influential and authoritative large-scale pictorial in the 1930s and 1940s on account of its correctness in widening knowledge, enriching common sense and exploring field of vision. The long period of its existence and the numerous issues published earned its uniqueness in China. As a large-scale pictorial magazine, The Young Companion created a new idea for magazine publication. The research done on the magazine will help us understand how a new cultural trend is formed in society. / This thesis focuses on the uniqueness of the coming and going of The Young Companion as a cultural pipeline facing the public in Shanghai which is a place of cosmopolitan population and a meeting point of China and the West; it also focuses on how the magazine regulated its position in the socio-cultural context of China as a new medium and cultural product. / 王若梅. / 論文(哲學博士)--香港中文大學, 2007. / 參考文獻(p. 274-287). / Adviser: Yuen Sang Leung. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 69-01, Section: A, page: 0339. / Electronic reproduction.

Over the course of the 1830s and 1840s, a professional scientific and medical community was coming into being. Exclusive membership, limits to the definition of science, and separation of the professional from the popular sphere became important elements in the consolidation of scientific authority. Studies exploring Victorian scientific authority have tended to focus on professional journals and organs of middle-class culture; this thesis takes a new approach in exploring how this authority is reflected and negotiated across the content of the popular mass-market periodicals which provided leisure reading for working- and lower-class men and women. It uses as examples Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, Reynolds's Miscellany and the Family Herald. The readers of these publications were consumers of scientific information, participants in popularised science and beneficiaries and subjects of new research, but were increasingly excluded from the formal processes of developing scientific theory and practice. Examining representations of anatomy and of mesmerism, health advice and theories of class and gender, the thesis argues for an expanded understanding of mass-market periodicals as communicators of scientific ideas, showing how such material widely informs the content of these publications from fiction to jokes to full-length factual articles. However, the role of the periodicals is much wider than simply the transmission of received ideas, and the thesis reveals a plurality of positions with regard to science and medicine within the popular press. The periodicals engage with modern science in complex and varied ways, accepting, modifying and challenging scientific theories and methods from different positions. The form of the periodical is key, presenting multiple sources of knowledge and ways in which readers may be invited to respond. Chambers's broad support for scientific progress is informed by its useful knowledge identity but tempered by its founding editor's own ambivalent relationship to the scientific establishment. The Herald, influenced by both the periodical's commercial character and its editor's adherence to a spiritual, anti-materialist view of existence, is strongly resistant to modern science, while Reynolds's incorporates it alongside other forms of knowledge in its aim to educate, entertain and empower readers from a socialist perspective.

Thesis(MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: At the end of the previous century the magazine market has established itself as 'n highly specialised field with publications focussing on increasingly smaller and specialised niche groups. The South African market is a good reflection of this with a wide variety of magazines available, each with its own unique readers. However it appears as if architectural reporting fills a very small part of this market. Taking a look at the important role architecture - the built environment - plays in daily life, the question occurs why such an integral part of the human experience and field of reference is getting so little coverage. Across the world the history of architectural reporting goes back for more than a century and, especially in the Developed World it seems to be going from strength to strength. Research into architectural reporting in South Africa shows that the tradition also goes back for nearly one hundred years. Still it has never featured very highly on the content pages of magazines and newspapers. In a country faced with the kind of building and development problems such as those in South Africa, one would expect architecture to be discussed more openly and often. At this stage South Africa has only two magazines which exclusively focuses on architecture. These magazines are not to be found in stores, however. Do they have a responsibility in informing the general public regarding matters surrounding architecture? This study looks at the mentioned magazines and why they operate like they do. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die tydskrifmark het die vorige eeu afgesluit as 'n hoogs gespesialiseerde veld met publikasies wat op al hoe kleiner en meer gespesialiseerde nisgroepe fokus. Ook in Suid-Afrika is daar 'n wye verskeidenheid tydskrifte beskikbaar, elkeen met 'n unieke leserssamestelli ng. Tog blyk dit dat argitektuurverslaggewing 'n baie klein deel van hierdie mark uitmaak. Kyk 'n mens kyk die belangrike rol wat argitektuur - die beboude omgewing - in die daaglikse lewe speel, ontstaan die vraag waarom so 'n integrale deel van die mens se ervarings- en verwysingsveld so min aandag kry. Die geskiedenis van argitetkuurverslaggewing wereldwyd is al meer as 'n honderd jaar oud en in sommige oorsese - meesal ontwikkelde -Iande Iyk asof dit gedy. 'n Ondersoek na argitektuurverslaggewing in Suid-Afrika toon dat dit ook hier al byna honderd jaar beoefen word, maar dit het nog nooit enige hoe profiel in die inhoudsopgawes van tydskrifte ingeneem nie. Ook in koerante word dit seide indien ooit bespreek. Veral in 'n land 5005 Suid-Afrika, waar daar groot bouvraagstukke is wat opgelos moet word, sou 'n mens kon verwag dat argitektuur meer prominent bespreek sou word. Daar is op hierdie stadium slegs twee Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrifte wat eksklusief op argitektuur fokus. Tog is hierdie tydskrifte nie op die winkelrakke beskikbaar nie. Het hierdie tydskrifte 'n verantwoordelikheid teenoor die algemene publiek, om hulle meer bewus en ingelig te maak rondom kwessies betreffende argitektuur? Hierdie studie stel ondersoek in na die genoemde tydskrifte en waarom hulle bestuur word 5005 wat wei die geval is.

This study, the first comprehensive history of The Chronicle, melds a quarter-century of higher education and journalism milestones.

This paper is directed toward helping the new graduate student in mathematics to acquire a feeling for the literature of his field and thus carry out a more efficient literature search. As the field of mathematics developed, the number of journals carrying mathematical articles grew. Today there are over 120 journals devoted in whole or in part to mathematics. This vast amount of literature presents a problem common to beginning graduate students initiating a research project. As an introduction, a discussion is given of the development of mathematics from the time of the first learned academies to the time of Crelle's Journal, with emphasis being placed on some of the outstanding mathematicians of the period. The years covered constitute the pre-birth era of modern mathematical literature. The second section concerns the growth of the literature and contains a partial listing of the major mathematical research journals of the world. Also in this section, there is a discussion devoted to the use of the literature with hints for organizing a systematic literature search. The remainder of the thesis is devoted to some of the major mathematical societies and journals of the world. In these letter sections there is information concerning 23 societies from 11 different countries. Particular emphasis is placed on the American Mathematical Society and its publications as it is one of the foremost organizations of its type in the world today. Much of the information for the sections concerning the societies was obtained by personal correspondence, on the part of the author, with persons directly associated with the various societies. / Master of Science
