Traditionally, there have been two contradictory views on the nature of power in the body politic: that of the centralized and top-down power structure within the state apparatus and that of dispersive power, based on knowledge, exemplified by the work of Max Weber and Michel Foucault respectively. This PhD thesis will demonstrate that a better path to the understanding of power, at least in relation to the localization of television formats in China, is that explained by the theory of negotiated power. Based on these theoretical foundations on the nature of power and continuing discussions on globalization and production studies, this thesis introduces a new approach to understand power via dynamic value exchanges among resources, capital and interest. The findings are positioned in relation to the literature on power theories, globalization, television format research and Chinese media studies. Based on six months' of ethnographic study on Hurry Up, Brother, which is a Korean format show localized by a Chinese network, this research examines the power relations in the decision-making process concerned with the format localization among several different parties - internal and external - involved in the operation, namely Chinese Zhejiang Satellite TV and its production team, Korean Seoul Broadcasting System and its travelling producers, the Chinese government, sponsors, celebrities, Chinese independent companies and their editors, and audiences. It integrates the theories of negotiated order, cultural proximity and the mechanism of production into its theoretical framework to demonstrate how negotiated power is exercised in a project network via exchanges of resources, capital and interests among different parties. This theoretical framework helps to challenge the hierarchical power approach by the Chinese media; and to provide detailed empirical evidence to show how political, economic, cultural and social factors impinge upon decision-making. In conclusion, it is noted that initially power is neither centralized nor dispersive in China, but rather, power is negotiated; later it suggests an innovative approach that power is the result of competition of capital based on changes of primary interests among different parties, indicating that localization is part of the process of power negotiations. This doctoral thesis provides first-hand and detailed data as well as a dynamic picture of how power is exercised in the contemporary Chinese television industry where entertainment production increasingly breaks free of governmental centralized control by replacing it with power negotiations. This approach overcomes the geographic dichotomy between global and local, and expands the boundaries of cultural, economic, political, professional and social fields. This thesis is an experimental study which the author can motivate a new direction in the discussion on power theories as well as help in the understanding of the globalization of cultural products and of Chinese television in general.

Estes modelos são operacionalizados a partir de lógicas colaborativas e participativas que surgem com a inserção de novas ferramentas caracterizadoras de diálogos e interações entre a audiência e os produtores de conteúdos. Neste cenário há um intercâmbio entre os papéis desempenhados pela audiência e produtos, desconstruindo um antigo esquema comunicacional em que os define como "receptor e emissor". A reconfiguração de diálogos e papéis da comunicação televisiva é possibilidade no contexto de implementação da TV digital interativa no Brasil. As novas possibilidades discursivas no campo jornalístico ganharam uma dimensão a partir da Internet com o desenvolvimento da Web 2.0, que permitiu a realização de projetos colaborativos. Na Web 2.0 o jornalismo foi estruturado através dos aspectos de personalização, cooperação e colaboração que são modelados pelas bases comunitárias de produção. Esta prática comunitária permitiu diferentes vertentes da prática jornalística, que foram denominadas de jornalismo open source, user-generated content e prosumersm, citizen journalism e participatory journalism. Nestes modelos de jornalismo a audiência é a principal produtora e consumidora da notícia. As próprias pessoas refletem, elaboraram e divulgam informações que vivenciaram cotidianamente. Entretanto, a apropriação e manutenção da produção jornalística colaborativa recebem uma força essencial com estruturação desta prática a partir de redes sociais. A formação destas redes possibilita a organização comunitária de grupos que compartilham os mesmos interesses e anseios. Dentro deste contexto, a presente pesquisa propõe a modelagem de ...

These models are operationalized from collaborative and participatory logic that arise with the introduction of new tools for characterizing dialogue and interaction between audience and content producers. In this scenario there is an interchange between the roles played by the audience and producers, desconstructing and old communication scheme that defines them as "receiver" abd "sender". The reconfiguration of dialogues and roles of television communication is possible in the context of implementation of interactive digital TV in Brazil. The new discursive possibilities in the journalistic field have gained a dimension from the Internet with the development of Web 2.0, which allowed the realization of collaborative projects. Web 2.0 journaslism has been structured through the aspects of personalization, cooperation and collaboration that are shaped by community-based production. This community practice allowed different aspects of journalistic practice, which were called open source journalism, user-generated content and prosumersm, citizen journalism and participatory journalism. In these models of journalism, audience is a major producer and consumer of news. The people themselves reflect and disseminate information producing a daily experience. However, ownership and maintenance of collaborative news production receives an essential force in the structuring of this practice from social networks. The formation of these networks allows the community organizing groups to share the same interests and desires. Within this context, this research proposes the modeling of a collaborative process of news production for interactive digital TV from Web 2.0 / Mestre

Entende-se que o jornalismo cumpre um importante papel na ampliação da noção de cidadania. Como objeto de pesquisa, foram escolhidos dois telejornais: o Repórter Brasil, da TV Brasil, emissora pública de televisão, e o Jornal Nacional, da Rede Globo. Para tanto, são trabalhados os conceitos de cidadania e saúde dentro do telejornalismo, bem como a noção de enquadramentos interpretativos, segundo proposta de Mauro Porto / The purpose of this is to identify which types of framework, analysis are built by two brazilian tv newscasts about public health in Brazil.
