No. of bitstreams: 1 Rafael Fonseca de Araújo.pdf: 9767748 bytes, checksum: 9ba35e483f432ff6315a1d92099ab469 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-03-30 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This thesis presents a Multi-­dimensional (MD) analysis (Biber, 1988 et seq.) of a Corpus of American Reality TV Shows (CARTS). Reality television can be described as unscripted television shows with non-­professional actors being observed by cameras in preconfigured environments (Kavka, 2012) and despite of being a relatively new TV genre is a cornerstone of contemporary US television programming, since according to some critics it has remade television culture (Murray and Quellette 2004). The major goal of the study was to provide a lexical-­grammatical description of the verbal language of Reality TV shows by investigating a corpus of 780 texts taken from 39 popular American Reality TV shows, totaling over 6 million tokens. The specific goals were to compare CARTS against the four dimensions of general English register variation as well as against the five dimensions of American television register variation (Berber Sardinha;; Veirano Pinto, in press). CARTS texts were classified into four main program types (Competition, Documentary, Talent and Professional, and Transformation) and into 13 sub-­program types, namely, celebrities, dating, gamedoc, docusoap, hidden cameras, reality sitcoms, business, cooking, fashion, performing, expert guidance, self-­improvement and social experimental. The corpus was balanced so that each major category had the same number of texts. CARTS was tagged for part of speech with the Biber Tagger and analyzed by the Bibber Tag Count which calculated the normalized frequencies of the 128 linguistics features considered in the research. The results present the additive MD analysis by showing how reality TV shows are similar or different from others spoken and written English registers (from Biber seminal 1988 study), as well as how the various manifestations of Reality TV compare to television registers on US. Since there is no precedent for studies within Corpus Linguistics dedicated to researching the lexical-­grammatical profile of Reality TV Shows in a multidimensional perspective, this research intends to fill this gap / O presente trabalho apresenta uma Análise Multidimensional (BIBER, 1988 et seq.) do Corpus of American Reality TV Shows (CARTS). Reality TV shows podem ser descritos como programas de televisão sem roteiro, com atores não profissionais sendo observados por câmeras em ambiente pré-­configurados (KAVKA, 2012) e apesar de ser um gênero de televisão relativamente novo é considerado um marco na programação da televisão nos EUA, uma vez que reinventou a cultura da televisão (MURRAY e QUELLETTE, 2004). O principal objetivo do estudo é fornecer uma descrição dos padrões léxico-­gramaticais da linguagem verbal dos Reality TV shows. Os objetivos específicos foram comparar o CARTS com as cinco principais dimensões de variação da Língua Inglesa (BIBER, 1988 et seq.), bem como em contraste com as quatro dimensões de variação de registro da televisão norte-­americana (BERBER SARDINHA e VEIRANO PINTO, no prelo). O CARTS é formado por 780 textos extraídos de 39 reality TV shows norte-­americanos populares, totalizando cerca de 6 milhões de palavras. Os textos do corpus foram classificados em quatro principais categorias Competição, Documentário, Talento e Profissão, e Transformação que, por sua vez, foram subdivididas em 13 subcategorias nomeadas: celebridades, namoro, jogo-­documentário, novela-­documentário, câmeras escondidas e portáteis, reality sitcom, business, culinária, moda, artistas de palco, orientação de especialistas, melhoria pessoal e experimento social. O corpus foi balanceado para que cada categoria tivesse a mesma quantidade de textos, etiquetado gramaticalmente com o Biber Tagger e processado pelo Biber Tag Count que calcula a frequência normalizada das 128 variáveis linguísticas consideradas no estudo. Os resultados da Análise Multidimensional demonstram como os reality TV shows se assemelham ou se diferenciam dos demais registros da Língua Inglesa propostos por Biber (1988) em seu estudo seminal, tal como as várias manifestações de Reality TV se comparam aos registros da televisão norte-­americana. Uma vez que não há precedentes de estudos, dentro da Linguística de Corpus, dedicados à investigação do perfil léxico-­ gramatical dos reality TV shows em uma perspectiva multidimensional, a presente pesquisa pretende preencher esta lacuna

The body is socially constructed and falls over itself marks that identify and particularize the individual. Transform the surface of the body is a practice that provokes fascination, considering that it goes beyond just seeking a healthy look and perfect body, making embodied idea on the surface of the body. In this context, the body becomes a living record that are registered affections, emotions, representations of history and the subject of his time. While half the body is an instrument of communication and inscribes itself on a textual composition and culture of the social group, which appears resigned to their attitudes and their characterization. However, in the media there is almost no space for description of the actions of called outsiders, the name given by Norbert Elias and John Scotson, to people who, somehow, escape to normal standards, thus thematising processes of social stigmatization, common in many countries. The emergence of numerous bodily techniques and practices (re)physical modeling is anchored in the idea of autonomy and self-regulation of the subject in relation to his/her body, thereby reinforcing a behavior of aversion to bodies that deviate from the dominant aesthetic standard. Thus, the primary goal is to study the position and function of the body as text, and the ways in which the bodies are discursed - accepted standards, as well as outsiders bodies in the programs that comprise the corpus - Extreme Makerover and Tabu Latino America -, thus proposing a study of the maps of values and their communicative contracts. The passionate paths are examined from the semiotics of passions of Greimas and Fontanille, and discursive analyzes are carried out with contributions from Diana Barros, David Le Breton, Beatriz Pires, Bill Nichols and Joseph Campbell, prioritizing interactional issues that affect the body as communication tool. The passions, whether external or figurativizadas the programs, motivate attitudes that lead the individual to transform his own body, and media exposure enhances behavioral and aesthetic concepts and values that are positivized or negative results by common sense of the viewer who consumes this spectacular corporeality aportada on TV / A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo investigar as alterações extremas realizadas nos corpos nos programas que representam a chamada reality TV, como os reality shows e os documentários televisivos. O corpo é socialmente construído e inscreve sobre si marcas que identificam e particularizam o indivíduo. Transformar a superfície do corpo é prática que provoca fascínio, haja vista que se vai além de apenas buscar uma aparência saudável e de corpo perfeito, fazendo encarnar o ideal na superfície do corpo. Neste contexto, o corpo passa a ser registro vivo em que são inscritos afetos, emoções, representações da história do sujeito e de seu tempo. Enquanto meio, o corpo é um instrumento de comunicação e inscreve sobre si uma composição textual e a cultura do grupo social, que aparece conformada em suas atitudes e sua caracterização. Entretanto, nas mídias quase não há espaço para inscrição das ações dos chamados outsiders, denominação dada, por Norbert Elias e John Scotson, a pessoas que, de alguma forma, fogem aos padrões considerados normais, tematizando, assim, os processos de estigmatização social, comuns em vários países. O surgimento das inúmeras práticas corporais e técnicas de (re)modelagem física se ancora na ideia de autonomia e autorregulação do sujeito com relação ao seu corpo, reforçando, com isso, um comportamento de aversão com relação aos corpos que desviam do padrão estético dominante. Desta forma, o objetivo fundamental da pesquisa é estudar a posição e a função do corpo enquanto texto, e os modos pelos quais são discursivizados os corpos-padrões aceitos, bem como os corpos outsiders nos programas que compõem o corpus Extreme Makerover e Tabu América Latina -, propondo, assim, um estudo sobre os mapas de valores e os respectivos contratos comunicativos. Os percursos passionais são examinados a partir da semiótica das paixões, de Greimas e Fontanille, e as análises discursivas são realizadas com aportes de Diana Barros, David Le Breton, Beatriz Pires, Bill Nichols e Joseph Campbell, priorizando questões interacionais que concernem ao corpo enquanto instrumento de comunicação. As paixões, sejam externas ou figurativizadas pelos programas, motivam atitudes que levam o sujeito a transformar o próprio corpo, e a exposição midiática realça conceitos e valores estéticos e comportamentais que são positivados ou negativados pelo senso comum do espectador que consome esta corporeidade espetacular aportada na televisão

Denna studie undersöker hur unga transpersoner representeras i media, närmare bestämt inom genren reality tv. De två program som valts för ändamålet är amerikanska I am Jazz och ryska TransReality, där den första fokuserar på 15-åriga Jazz Jennings liv medan den andra följer ett antal unga transpersoners vardag. Valet av program bygger på att de båda släpptes under det gångna året, att samtliga huvudpersoner är ungdomar och att de har sitt ursprung i två vitt skilda kulturella kontext. Syftet är att granska hur serierna representerar transpersoner utifrån frågor som biologiskt kön, genus och könsidentitet. Frågeställningarna rör ungdomarnas sociala relationer och samhället, vad det är som serierna problematiserar och hur programmets utformning bidrar till att berätta deras historier. Inledningsvis förklaras olika definitioner av kön, samt genus och könsidentitet. För att närma mig materialet har jag valt teorier utifrån programmens utformning såväl som innehåll. Teorierna omfattar reality tv, stereotypier, Judith Butlers idéer om genus i kombination med transgender studier och transfeminism. De senare två är relativt nya akademiska ämnen/teorier i Sverige, men välbehövliga sådana då de tar transpersoners liv och erfarenheter på allvar. Studierna jag tagit del av inom tidigare forskning visar på att transpersoner ofta förbises även i queerteoretiska sammanhang. Feminismen har även inkorporerats i metodologin, för att bättre belysa det som studien avser att undersöka. Norman Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys med sin politiska betoning utgör stommen för det analytiska arbetet. Detta har applicerats på tre avsnitt av varje program: det första, mittersta och sista. Genom att analysera dessa framkommer att bakom den överlag positiva framställningen av de unga transpersonerna i TransReality ligger konservativa värderingar om kön, genus och könsidentitet. I am Jazz är mer progressiv, men även den visar ibland på liknande tendenser som TransReality. De sociala relationerna är det som problematiseras, istället för de unga transpersonerna själva. Reality tv ger prov på att den vuxit till sig som genre i att den med dokumentär ambition berättar de unga transpersonernas historier. Denna autenticitet kan vara av vikt för samhällets förståelse av transpersoner.

I vår uppsats har vi undersökt hur medierapporteringen av dokusåpan Paradise Hotel har förändrats under tidsperioden 2005 till 2014. Vi har gjort detta genom att undersöka medierapporteringen över tid och jämfört Aftonbladets och Expressens pappersartiklar från de valda åren med varandra. De konkreta frågor som ställts till artiklarna är "hur har rubrikerna förändrats?", "vilken vinkling har artiklarna?", "hur beskrivs deltagarna?" samt "vilken sorts personer rapporteras det om mest?". Eftersom vår studie handlar om en förändrad medierapportering av en dokusåpa så kan den ses som ett fall av kvällspressens nöjesrapportering. Det vi har kommit fram till genom att studera de valda artiklarna är att de artiklar som publiceras i Aftonbladets och Expressens pappersupplagor som uppmärksammar Paradise Hotel i dag inte vinklas hårdare nu. Samtidigt har vi sett en förändring där media har gått från att beskriva programmet som något skandalomsusat till en mjukare beskrivning där negativa epitet som "sexsåpa" i lika hög grad som tidigare inte används i tidningsartiklar om programmet . Rapporteringens fokus har också flyttat från konflikter och bråk deltagarna emellan till sex, relationer och deltagarnas privatliv. Således gestaltas såväl programmet som dess deltagare på ett annorlunda sätt idag än vad de gjordes år 2005, dock nödvändigtvis inte hårdare

It's looking for the credibility of the program and asking whether the audience would become program participants. Further, the work captures the audience ratings and popularity in each year of its broadcast. Finally, describes the creation of the show and behind the scenes. The diploma thesis is divided into 4 chapters: Theoretical introduction thesis (clarifying the concepts that are crucial for the work related), Ratings (analyzing rating charts of the first channel of Czech Television and the demographic composition of the audience), Behind the Scenes program (described shooting of, the role of interested participants, technical background of the show), Audience (defines who is the audience and...

This thesis focuses on the manner how a phenomenon often called "media construction of reality" occurs in the Reality TV. This popular television genre is known for mixing reality captured on an omnipresent camera together with fiction elements in order to amuse the audience. In the theoretical part, I will focus on the concepts that are crucial for this phenomenon such as Berger's and Luckmann's social construction of reality, gatekeeping or agenda setting. Also, I will describe the history of Reality TV as a genre and also will focus on main subgenres that can be seen on television these days. In the practical part, I will use narrative analysis to identify how the media are constructing reality in television programmes. The sample for the analysis will consist of 80 episodes from 11 different TV shows of American and British production. These have already spread out of their country of origin and are familiar to Czech audience from local TV channels. My main thesis is that media construction of reality can happen from the very beginning - i.e. from rules establishing to shooting and postproduction. All these phases will be analyzed in this paper.

The aim of this qualitative study is to investigate the criticism female and male Idol participants receive from the Idol jury in the program Swedish Idol 2018, from a gender perspective. The study also investigates possible differences in the type criticism, depending on the Idol participants' sex. Using critical discourse analysis (CDA) as both theory and method, underlying messages in the Idol jury's criticism are revealed. The selection consisted of eight Idol participants: four female, two from Stockholm and two from Gothenburg and four male, two from Stockholm and two from Gothenburg. The jury´s criticism that the Idol participants received was analyzed based on the concepts stereotypes, sexualisation and naming.   The result shows that both male and female Idol participants are being sexualised and stereotyped in the Idol jury's criticism. However, the female Idol participants are expected to maintain a stereotypical feminine role, while the male Idol participants do not have to maintain a stereotypical masculine role. The Idol jury's namings show that female Idol participants are being categorised more than the male Idol participants. The Idol jury's criticism to the female participants has a great focus on the body as an object and sexual satisfaction, while the criticism to the male participants focuses more on detailed bodily characteristics.

The Office, Parks and Recreation and Modern Family, productions in the corpus of this research, are representatives of a recent trend in the United States television programming. This trend, which was intensified since the mid 2000s, features the fictional comic text in documentary language, building a particular relationship with the discourse of factuality. This format breaks with an established practice of the traditional sitcom. According to researchers, the way in which sitcoms were presented was stagnant, with the same characteristics since I Love Lucy, televised in the 1950s. This research seeks to investigate the peculiarities of the construction of comedy in the text and decoupage of the products mentioned, as well as the possible relationship between the current popularity of this format and the television context: a programming full of reality shows and the massive amateur audio-visual production on the internet. The hypothesis presented is that there is a new viewer's relationship with the discourse of factuality. Methodologically, the research will be bibliographic and documentary, involving interviews with TV authors in specialized publications and bibliography. The fundamental theoretical and methodological basis of the research is in the works Jon Dovey and Mark Andrejevic on reality TV and Brett Mills and Anthony Savorelli on sitcom / Este trabalho propõe analisar as comédias seriadas da televisão norte-americana que parodiam o formato documental. The Office, Parks and Recreation e Modern Family, produções que constituem o corpus da presente pesquisa, são representantes de uma recente tendência na programação televisiva dos Estados Unidos. Esta tendência, intensificada a partir da metade dos anos 2000, consiste em apresentar o texto cômico ficcional em linguagem de documentário. Este formato, por sua vez, rompe com a consolidada práxis do sitcom tradicional que, segundo pesquisadores, apresentava-se estagnado, com as mesmas características desde I Love Lucy, televisionado na década de 1950. Os objetivos são examinar a relação entre a popularidade atual do formato e a conjuntura de seu surgimento: uma programação televisiva repleta de reality shows e a massiva produção audiovisual amadora voltada para a internet. Trabalhamos com a hipótese de um novo relacionamento do espectador com o discurso da factualidade. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa será bibliográfica e documental, envolvendo o entrevistas com os respectivos autores em publicações diversas e levantamento bibliográfico. A base teórico-metodológica fundamental da pesquisa consiste nas obras de Jon Dovey e Mark Andrejevic sobre reality TV e de Brett Mills e Antônio Savorelli sobre o sitcom
