Although this relationship has been studied in the shorter works of Browning, little critical attention has been devoted to its role in his major work, despite the poet's extensive comments in Book I on his dramatic method of "resuscitating" dead voices [TRUNCATED]. / 2031-01-01

This study aims to gain greater knowledge about the phenomenon cheerleading journalism and its existence in the Swedish sports journalism. We did this by making an impact in the media debate, to thereby identify key aspects of cheerleading journalism. These elements are then used to reach a preliminary definition of the phenomenon. This was followed by qualitative interviews with six Swedish sports journalists from newspapers Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter, with the aim to find out how they behaved the phenomenon. The results of the earlier debate and the answers from the respondents show that cheerleading journalism is nationalistic, biased and seeks an inclusive effect on its audience. This phenomenon is considered to be an inferior form of journalism and progress especially in reporting on the Swedish national teams and / or individual representatives of Sweden. The results have also been related to selected theories, agenda-setting, gatekeeping and framing.

Media is used by audiences for more than its simple role as information provider. Audiences have been found to use news providers output in a multitude of ways. It has been found that some audience members have used such output as a way to gain social capital that aids in the generation of feelings of social cohesion with their community. This has been found to be especially true during the impact phase of a natural disaster, such as a hurricane (Perez-Lugo, 2004). Unfortunately what news providers specifically articulate that might have this latent use by audiences has not been studied as much as would be necessary for a concrete understanding of the topic that would aid other news providers in designing output during future disasters. As such, here this paper will explore what the content of the New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper articulated during the impact phase of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans that had the potential to serve this latent function for its readers.

With the autonomy gained by the composer, its function is separated from the figures performer and the listener, which established a new configuration under the musical season. However, despite the legacy of nineteenth-century tradition in the twentieth century, the Canadian pianist Glenn Gould pointed out new aspects in the unfolding of this relationship. His intense relationship with the studio recording, radio and television, has proposed a different positioning in respect to the figure of the interpreter in relation to his own art and the public. This research is focused on addressing these new designs proposed by Gould, in order to rethink the artistic practice of contemporary pianist. The work is divided into three parts. Chapter 1 is a plot of the historical tradition of concerts, from the end of the eighteenth century to its emergence during the nineteenth century. It also parallels Gould with public concerts and his preference for media (recording studio, radio and television). In chapter 2, is presented in depth about the prospect of Gould presentations in public and also the relationship of the spectator with his interpreter. The last chapter is reflecting about the interpretive process of Gould as an aid to a rethinking of the interpreter today. / Os concertos públicos consolidados durante o século XIX permaneceram com o mesmo formato, o que suscitou a cristalização da relação intérprete-público até a atualidade. Com a autonomia adquirida pelo compositor, sua função se separou das figuras do intérprete e do público, o que estabeleceu uma nova configuração no âmbito musical da época. Contudo, apesar da herança da tradição oitocentista, no século XX, o pianista canadense Glenn Gould apontou novos aspectos no desdobramento dessa relação. Seu vínculo intenso com o estúdio de gravação, o rádio e a televisão, propôs um posicionamento diferente em respeito à figura do intérprete na relação com sua própria arte e com o público. A presente pesquisa tem como foco a abordagem destes novos delineamentos propostos por Gould, com o intuito de repensar a prática artística do pianista contemporâneo. O trabalho está dividido em três partes. No capítulo 1 é um traçado histórico da tradição dos concertos, a contar do final do século XVIII até sua eclosão durante o século XIX. Também é feito um paralelo de Gould com os concertos públicos e sua preferência pelas mídias (estúdio de gravação, rádio e televisão). No capítulo 2, é apresentada de forma aprofundada a perspectiva de Gould acerca das apresentações em público e também da relação do intérprete com seu espectador. O último capítulo reflete acerca do processo interpretativo de Gould, como auxílio para um repensar da prática do intérprete na atualidade.

Esta pesquisa debruça-se no meu processo de criação atoral no espetáculo Os filhos da Dita, do Núcleo Arlequins da Cooperativa Paulista de Teatro, tendo como base teórico/prática principal o treinamento psicofísico proposto pelo encenador-pedagogo Vsévolod Meyerhold, buscando sublinhar as demandas e possibilidades de uma postura política consequente em cena. A partir das relações estabelecidas desde a escolha do tema, o desenvolvimento da dramaturgia e posterior criação cênica propriamente dita, busco descrever os estímulos e motivações que me conduziram na criação cênica em diálogo com a estética desenvolvida pela companhia há 25 anos, e o posterior contato estabelecido com o espectador. / This research lies on my acting creative process in the play called Os filhos da Dita, of Arlequins (Theatre group that belongs to the Cooperativa Paulista de Teatro), having as main theoretical/practical basis the psycho physical training proposed by pedagogue-director Vsévolod Meyerhold, aiming at underling the demands and possibilities of a consequent political posture on stage. Based on the relationships established with various artists involved in a creative process from choosing the play theme, dramaturgy development and following scenic creation, I describe the stimulus and motives that led me in the scenic creation. The procedures are developed in open dialogue with the esthetics held by the group in the last 25 years, and subsequent contact established with the audience.
