L'émergence d'une école française du dessin animé sous l'Occupation (1940-1944) ? / The emergence of the French school of animation under occupation (1940-1944) ?Roffat, Sébastien 15 February 2012 (has links)
De 1940 à 1944, durant l’occupation allemande de la France, le Ministère de l’Information (Direction générale de la Cinématographie nationale) et le Ministère allemand de la propagande ont tenté de mettre en place une industrie française du dessin animé. Même si la finalité était différente pour les deux organismes d’Etat, le dessin animé a bénéficié durant quatre années d’un réel régime de faveur de la part des gouvernements tant français que allemand. Volontarisme politique et soutien financier inédit se sont conjugués afin de proposer une nouvelle esthétique française du dessin animé qui se tiendrait éloignée du traditionnel cartoon américain : il s’agit alors de désaméricaniser le dessin animé et de promouvoir un art français. Une étude de la réception de cette nouvelle esthétique auprès du grand public, des journalistes et du gouvernement est enfin menée. / During the German occupation of France from 1940-1944, the Ministry of Information (Direction générale de la Cinématographie nationale) and the German Ministry of Propaganda tried to establish a French cartoon industry. Though the motivation was different for the respective state agencies, the cartoon enjoyed four years of support from both French and German governments. Political will and unprecedented financial support combined to offer a new aesthetic for French cartoons, distanced from the American tradition; the desire to create a uniquely French aesthetic represented an important challenge to the American monopoly on animation. The present study examines the reception of this new aesthetic by the general public, journalists and the government.

Tommy Atkins, War Office reform and the social and cultural presence of the late-Victorian army in Britain, c.1868-1899Gosling, Edward Peter Joshua January 2016 (has links)
This thesis examines the development of the soldier in late-Victorian Britain in light of the movement to rehabilitate the public image of the ordinary ranks initiated by the Cardwell-Childers Reforms. Venerated in popular culture, Tommy Atkins became a symbol of British imperial strength and heroism. Socially, however, attitudes to the rank-and-file were defined by a pragmatic realism purged of such sentiments, the likes of which would characterise the British public’s relationship with their army for over thirty years. Scholars of both imperial culture and the Victorian military have identified this dual persona of Tommy Atkins, however, a dedicated study into the true nature of the soldier’s position has yet to be undertaken. The following research will seek to redress this omission. The soldier is approached through the perspective of three key influences which defined his development. The first influence, the politics of the War Office, exposes a progressive series of schemes which, cultivated for over a decade, sought to redefine the soldier through the popularisation of military service and the professionalisation of the military’s public relations strategy and apparatus. A forgotten component of the Cardwell-Childers Reforms, the schemes have not before been scrutinised. Despite the ingenuity of the schemes devised, the social rehabilitation of the soldier failed, primarily, it will be argued, because the government refused to improve his pay. The public’s response to the Cardwell-Childers Reforms and the British perception of the ordinary soldier in the decades following their introduction form the second perspective. Through surveys of the local and London press and mainstream literature, it is demonstrated the soldier, in part as a result of the reforms, underwent a social transition, precipitated by his entering the public consciousness and encouraged by a resulting fascination in the military life. The final perspective presented in this thesis is from within the rank-and-file itself. Through the examination of specialist newspaper, diary and memoir material the direct experiences of the soldiers themselves are explored. Amid the extensive public and political discussion of their nature and status, the soldier also engaged in the debate. The perspective of the rank-and-file provides direct context for the established perspectives of the British public and the War Office, but also highlights how the soldier both supported and opposed the reforms and was acutely aware of the social status he possessed. This thesis will examine the public and political treatment of the soldier in the late-nineteenth century and question how far the conflicting ideas of soldier-hero and soldier-beggar were reconciled.

Intercultural rhetoric of English newspaper editorials: An analysis of the Daily Graphic and the New York TimesWornyo, Albert Agbesi 21 September 2018 (has links)
PhD (English) / Department of English / This study sought to analyse the discourse strategies in the editorials of the Daily Graphic newspaper as texts constructed in an African English as a Second Language (ESL) setting and the editorials of the New York Times of America as texts constructed in an Anglo-American English environment. The objective of the study was to discover the differences and the similarities that exist between the discourse strategies of the editorials of the Daily Graphic newspaper and the editorials of the New York Times. This objective is achieved by analysing five features of text. First, the rhetorical structure of the two editorials were analysed to find out the rhetorical strategies used in composing the editorials. Second, the micro-genre variation between the two editorials was examined. In addition, the thematic development of the two editorials was carried out. Also, the study investigated the rhetorical appeals preferred by the editorials from the two different socio-cultural settings. Finally, as newspaper editorials, the use of attribution was studied to find out how the editorials disclose the sources of their information to make it clear to their readers where they get their information from. The findings of the study revealed some differences and some similarities in the discourse strategies employed by the two editorials. The Daily Graphic as a newspaper published in an ESL setting in Africa exhibited the unique use of some discourse features that reflect the socio-cultural setting different from that of the New York Times as a newspaper published in the socio-cultural environment of Anglo-American English. / NRF

Previous issue date: 2014-03 / O texto, objetiva analisar, como as identidades transgêneras foram produzidas,
significadas e ressignificadas pela cartunista Laerte Coutinho na primeira década do
século XXI, mais especificamente no período entre os anos de 2009 e 2013. Para tanto,
a pesquisa foi desenvolvida através das tirinhas que tal cartunista produz e publica em
seu site chamado Muriel Total. Se lançará mão, ainda, de entrevistas que a mesma
cedeu a programas de televisão, cruzando as falas de suas experiências com as tramas
desenvolvidas por seus personagens. Nesse sentido, se pensou analisar como as
categorias de gênero, corpo, sexualidades e identificações sofrem mutações ao longo do
tempo e em determinados espaços, transformando assim as subjetivações dos sujeitos
trabalhados, os transgêneros. Desta maneira, problematizo como Laerte Coutinho
subjetiva as transformações identitárias e corporais as quais os sujeitos trans são
submetidos e se submetem, assim como, quê condições foram necessárias, além de quê
barreiras foram encontradas, para que tais processos acontecessem. Assim, realizou-se
um diálogo com o arcabouço teórico da Teoria Queer, com destaque para Judith
Butler, para pensar as questões de gênero e a abjeção de tais sujeitos. Ainda se trabalhou com Stuart Hall para a análise do que se refere aos processos de identificação, Guacira Lopes Louro, dentre outros. Me apropriei ainda do entendimento do conceito de
fronteira utilizado por Deleuze e o de armário da epistemologia produzida por Eve
Kosofsky Sedgwick. / The paper aims to analyze , how transgender identities were produced , expressed and
re-signified by cartoonist Laertes Coutinho in the first decade of this century , more
specifically in the period between the years 2009 and 2013 . Therefore, the research was
developed through such strips cartoonist produces and publishes on its website called
Total Muriel . It will attack also interviews that yielded the same television programs ,
crossing the lines of his experiences with the plots developed by its characters .
Accordingly, it was thought to analyze the categories of gender, body , sexuality and
IDs mutate over time and in certain areas, thereby transforming subjectifications the
subjects worked , transgender . Thus , as Laertes Coutinho problematized the subjective
identity and bodily transformations which trans subjects are submitted and submit , as
well as what conditions were necessary , and what barriers were found to make these
processes happen . Thus , there was a dialogue with the theoretical framework of Queer
Theory , especially Judith Butler , to think gender issues and abjection of such subjects .
Still worked with Stuart Hall for the analysis of the relation to the processes of
identification, Guacira Lopes Blonde , among others . Yet appropriated the understanding of the concept of the frontier used by Deleuze and the epistemology of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick produced by cabinet.

'More than America': some New Zealand responses to American culture in the mid-twentieth century.Whitcher, Gary Frederick January 2011 (has links)
This thesis focuses on a transformational but disregarded period in New Zealand’s twentieth century history, the era from the arrival of the Marines in 1942 to the arrival of Rock Around the Clock in 1956. It examines one of the chief agents in this metamorphosis: the impact of American culture. During this era the crucial conduits of that culture were movies, music and comics. The aims of my thesis are threefold: to explore how New Zealanders responded to this cultural trinity, determine the key features of their reactions and assess their significance.
The perceived modernity and alterity of Hollywood movies, musical genres such as swing, and the content and presentation of American comics and ‘pulps’, became the sources of heated debate during the midcentury. Many New Zealanders admired what they perceived as the exuberance, variety and style of such American media. They also applauded the willingness of the cultural triptych to appropriate visual, textual and musical forms and styles without respect for the traditional classifications of cultural merit. Such perceived standards were based on the privileged judgements of cultural arbiters drawn from members of New Zealand’s educational and civic elites. Key figures within these elites insisted that American culture was ‘low’, inferior and commodified, threatening the dominance of a sacrosanct, traditional ‘high’culture. Many of them also maintained that these American cultural imports endangered both the traditionally British nature of our cultural heritage, and New Zealand’s distinctively ‘British’ identity.
Many of these complaints enfolded deeper objections to American movies, music and literary forms exemplified by comics and pulps. Significant intellectual and civic figures portrayed these cultural modes as pernicious and malignant, because they were allegedly the product of malignant African-American, Jewish and capitalist sources, which threatened to poison the cultural and social values of New Zealanders, especially the young. In order to justify such attitudes, these influential cultural guardians portrayed the general public as an essentially immature, susceptible, unthinking and puritanical mass. Accordingly, this public, supposedly ignorant of the dangers posed by American culture, required the intervention and protection of members of this elite.
Responses to these potent expressions of American culture provide focal points which both illuminate and reflect wider social, political and ideological controversies within midcentury New Zealand. Not only were these reactions part of a process of comprehension and negotiation of new aesthetic styles and media modes. They also represent an arena of public and intellectual contention whose significance has been neglected or under-valued. New Zealanders’ attitudes towards the new cinematic, literary and musical elements of American culture occurred within a rich and revealing socio-political and ideological context. When we comment on that culture we reveal significant features of our own national and cultural selves.

Embracing LOLitics: Popular Culture, Online Political Humor, and PlayTay, Geniesa January 2012 (has links)
The Internet, and Web 2.0 tools can empower audiences to actively participate in media creation. This allows the production of large quantities of content, both amateur and professional. Online memes, which are extensions of usually citizen-created viral content, are a recent and popular example of this. This thesis examines the participation of ordinary individuals in political culture online through humor creation. It focuses on citizen-made political humor memes as an example of engaged citizen discourse. The memes comprise of photographs of political figures altered either by captions or image editing software, and can be compared to more traditional mediums such as political cartoons, and 'green screens' used in filmmaking. Popular culture is often used as a 'common language' to communicate meanings in these texts. This thesis thus examines the relationship between political and popular culture. It also discusses the value of 'affinity spaces', which actively encourage users to participate in creating and sharing the humorous political texts. Some examples of the political humor memes include: the subversion of Vladimir Putin's power by poking fun at his masculine characteristics through acts similar to fanfiction, celebrating Barack Obama’s love of Star Wars, comparing a candid photograph of John McCain to fictional nonhuman creatures such as zombies using photomanipulation, and the wide variety of immediate responses to Osama bin Laden's death. This thesis argues that much of the idiosyncratic nature of the political humor memes comes from a motivation that lies in non-serious play, though they can potentially offer legitimate political criticism through the myths 'poached' from popular culture.
