Seminario para optar al título de Ingeniero Comercial, Mención Administración / La industria de Courier tradicional, Sólo en despachos, mueve alrededor de 170 mil millones de pesos al año a nivel país, donde los principales competidores abarcan el 90% del mercado utilizan la misma jornada de distribución que corresponde al horario de oficina, entre 9 a 18 horas, en adelante horario tradicional. Bajo este contexto y siendo una industria tan atractiva surge la duda de por qué no existen empresas que realicen despacho fuera de dichos horarios, es decir, de Lunes a Viernes de 18 a 00 horas, con posibilidad de extenderse a fines de semana, en adelante vespertino. Esto sería similar a lo que realiza la industria de comida rápida y la que ha tenido excelentes resultados. Si bien este nuevo horario propuesto es menor en cuanto a extensión, a priori, pareciera ser mayor la probabilidad de encontrar al cliente en su domicilio, reduciendo los costos de transportar un producto que no es entregado por ausencia del destinatario y, además aumentando la confianza del cliente al disminuir la incertidumbre sobre el horario de entrega

The major conclusion of this thesis is that Henry Watterson, while representative of the Redeemer element, was the product of a Jacksonian, rather than a Whig, heritage which had an ideology quite similar to the Redeemer appeal. In determining his exact philosophy the study shows that the editor was quite different from his contemporaries in the New South in both the substance and integrity of his beliefs.

The purpose of this dissertation was to analyze perceptions of terrorism through the analysis of two newspapers’ news coverage of terrorism after the September 11 attacks, a popular Kentucky newspaper, the Courier-Journal and the New York Times (NYT). The social construction of terrorism was reflected as a problem through moral panics or something that a society believed as wrong that needed to be eradicated. Previous research had found that newspapers have contributed to moral panics by exaggerating the scope of social problems such as school shootings. I used the theoretical framework of moral panics; Goode and Ben-Yehuda’s (2009) two criteria of moral panics, which were (1) concern and (2) volatility; portrayals of heroes, folk devils, and victims in moral panics; and war on terror as sensitizing concepts to find themes. I analyzed 500 the CJ newspaper articles and 500 the NYT articles from September 11, 2001 to August 30, 2018 to find the differences between both newspapers, identify portrayals, and determine how terrorism was socially constructed. Overall, I found differences between the two newspapers on how they depicted terrorism and themes on how both newspapers reported and described terrorism. The reporting on terrorism has implications to the overall handling of terrorism such as the Muslim Travel Ban.

This study was conducted to analyze the differences in the news coverage of public education by a state and local newspaper, to ascertain if trends exist in the coverage of topics, and if the coverage is negative, positive, or neutral. All issues of The Dallas Morning News and The Piano Star Courier from the years 1988 and 1993 were evaluated. All articles about public education (with the exception of athletics, obituaries, and advertisements) were evaluated using a content analysis form. The content analysis form provided information for classifying all articles. Information was tallied for the number of articles and column inches by newspaper and category. Findings indicated a number of differences between the two newspapers in 1988 and 1993. The Dallas Morning News increased the number of articles and column inches of space it committed to the coverage of public education from 1988 to 1993. During the same period The Piano Star Courier reduced both the number of articles and column inches of space which it used for the topic of education. The Piano Star Courier began publishing editions on only five of the seven days per week in February, 1993. The Dallas Morning News reduced its local coverage and increased its coverage of state and national education topics during the same period. The change in coverage was shown through the increased number of articles and space allocated to state and national topics. Changes also occurred in the number of negative articles published by the newspapers. The Dallas Morning News increased the number of negative articles as it focused on state and national news. The Piano Star Courier reduced the number of negative articles as it focused on local topics. The findings also indicate that certain categories of articles are more likely to present education in a positive manner. Local education news stories are more likely to be positive than state or national stories. Personal stories about students and/or teachers tend to represent schools in a positive light. The topics of discipline, vandalism, finance, and administration usually have a more negative effect. Findings reveal that differing trends exist in major state and local newspaper coverage of public education. Knowledge of these trends can help educators promote a positive image of public education.

This study traces the history of the Plano Star-Courier. Information was obtained from newspaper files, interviews, and directories. The thesis is divided into six chapters: Chapter I introduces the study; Chapter II chronicles the founding of Plano and the first newspaper publications; Chapter III concerns consolidation of the newspapers in Plano; Chapter IV traces the changes in ownership; Chapter V describes the newspaper under family ownership and corporation ownership; Chapter VI summarizes the history, influence, and future of the Star-Courier. This thesis combines the history of the Plano Star- Courier and the previously unwritten history of the town. For 100 years, the Star-Courier reflected the attitudes, values, and needs of people in the community.

O principal objetivo desta pesquisa é fazer um estudo e uma discussão comparativa sobre o modo como dois importantes personagens sociais são retratados pela cinematografia brasileira em um conjunto delimitado de filmes: o Metalúrgico e o Motoboy. Por meio de uma análise estética e narrativa, investiga-se como cineastas lançaram o olhar sobre a realidade contemporânea e construíram um imaginário audiovisual dessas categorias profissionais. Com base em autores como Bernardet (2003), Tomizaki (2007), Eisenstein (1990), Pudovkin (1961), Silva (2011), Nichols (1991) entre outros que discutem o tema, analisam-se seis documentários brasileiros que retratam a vida e saga dos protagonistas deste estudo. Recorre-se também, para cotejar a produção nacional em relação ao que cineastas estrangeiros têm produzido sobre o tema, a filmes correlatos, como A Classe operária vai ao paraíso (1971), Sem destino (1969) e outros. A análise inclui a discussão de aspectos técnicos que vão do posicionamento de câmeras, tomadas de cena até a montagem e trilha sonora. Entre as conclusões, pode-se observar que, enquanto os metalúrgicos construíram uma identidade ante a sociedade, os motoboys continuam a ser uma incógnita perturbadora, personagens que vêm sabe-se lá de onde, vivendo um eterno e cruel presente, sem perspectivas de futuro, trabalhando numa profissão perigosa e de certa forma desprestigiados pela população. O processo de pesquisa da tese são o fundamento e a orientação para um novo documentário a ser finalizado e que vem sendo pensado como uma reflexão cinematográfica sobre os avanços e reveses, expectativas e desilusões do projeto de modernização industrial e urbana da sociedade brasileira. / The main objective of this research is to make a study and a comparative discussion on how two important social characters are portrayed by the Brazilian cinema in a set, delimited, of movies: the Metallurgical and the Motoboy. Through an aesthetic and narrative analysis, investigating as filmmakers cast their eyes on contemporary reality and built a visual imagery of these professional categories. Based on authors like Bernardet (2003), Tomizaki (2007), Eisenstein (1990), Pudovkin (1961), Silva (2011), Nichols (1991) among others discussing the issue, we analyze six Brazilian documentaries depicting the life and saga of the protagonists of this study. It also refers to collate domestic production in relation to foreign filmmakers that have produced on the subject, about related films such as The Working class goes to paradise (1971), Easy rider (1969) and other examples. The analysis includes a discussion of technical issues ranging from cameras placement, taken to the assembly and soundtrack. Among findings, it can be observed that, while the metallurgical built an identity to society, couriers remain a disturbing unknown, characters who come who knows where, living in an eternal and cruel fate, without future prospects, working in a dangerous profession and somewhat discredited by the population. The research process of the thesis are the basis and the guidance for a new documentary to be finalized and intended as a cine reflection on the progress and setbacks on the expectations and disappointments of industrial and urban modernization project of Brazilian society.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Luís Augusto De Mola Guisard.pdf: 1274895 bytes, checksum: 97cdf8920a0e607f2f715c83c60d4c3a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-04-14 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The thesis aimed at understanding how hurriedness originated as a symbol of contemporary city life, and seeking possibilities of resisting such hegemony. The research was driven by an individual feeling of uneasiness about hurriedness as a universal value: hurriedness deviated from its natural role in order to meet life-specific urgencies, such as the urgency of an escaping animal, a child going for a moment of fun, or a bodyguard to the rescue. Hurriedness is constant in city life, which does not seem consistent with man’s vital impulses. It is an outer element that arose at some point in history. Taking as hypothesis that the hurriedness we currently experience, disconnected from our nature, denies life values, this paper consisted in a genealogical study of hurriedness. Such genealogical analysis was permeated by the idea that an extemporary posture, of non-compliance to the current values is required, as a way of enabling criticism to the hurriedness value. In order to serve this purpose, two main authors were used as reference: Nietzsche and Foucault. The first provided the cornerstone to face the task of attempting to understand hurriedness in its actual dimensions, while the latter enabled outlining the elements of the historical construction of hurriedness, including in the most recent period: throughout the twentieth century. As a resource of analysis, the figure used was that of a motorcycle courier, which a hasty professional in the São Paulo metropolis, representing the metaphor of a superfluous life, a hostage of productive hurriedness that serves the urgency of capital, not of life. Indeed, the motorcycle courier is the metaphor of the hastiness that is often true to all of us. The analysis enabled reaching the idea that hurriedness was a historical construction. It meets the contemporary rationality, since its early origins when the intelligible world was valued over the sensitive world of the Socratic and Platonic traditions, making its way to the neoliberal order of the twentieth century, by formatting the self-made man-machine, wrapped in a spirit of gravity. The conclusion is all the more exciting: there has been a form of society when constant hurriedness was not prevalent, during the tragic period, and currently, there are signs of resistance to hurriedness, such as those represented by the movements asserting the logic of slow. After all, according to Nietzsche’s Zarathustra, “Not by wrath does one kill, but by with laughter. Come, let us kill the spirit of gravity!” / O objetivo da tese foi compreender como se originou a pressa como marca da vida urbana contemporânea e procurar por possibilidades de resistências a essa hegemonia. A motivação para a pesquisa foi um sentimento particular de incômodo com a pressa como valor universal: a pressa deslocada de sua função natural para atender urgências próprias da vida, como é a urgência de um animal em fuga, de uma criança para ir ao encontro da diversão ou a de um salva-vidas. A pressa na vida urbana é constante, o que não parece corresponder aos impulsos vitais do homem. É algo que vem de fora, surgido em algum momento da história. Tendo como hipótese que essa pressa que vivenciamos, alheia à nossa natureza, nega os valores da vida, o trabalho consistiu em um estudo genealógico da pressa. Para essa análise genealógica foi sempre presente a ideia de que é necessária uma postura extemporânea, de não adesão aos valores vigentes, como forma de tornar possível uma crítica ao valor pressa. Para atingir essa finalidade, dois principais autores foram consultados: Nietzsche e Foucault. O primeiro deu toda a base para enfrentar a tarefa de tentar compreender a pressa em sua devida dimensão e o segundo permitiu esquadrinhar os elementos da construção histórica da pressa, inclusive no período mais recente: ao longo do século XX. Como recurso de análise foi usada a figura do motoboy, profissional acelerado de nossa metrópole paulistana, como metáfora de uma vida supérflua, refém de uma pressa produtiva que atende a uma urgência que é do capital e não da vida. O motoboy é a metáfora da aceleração que, não obstante, atinge todos nós. Com a análise, foi possível chegar à ideia de que a pressa foi uma construção história. Ela atende à racionalidade contemporânea, a qual já se insinua na valorização do mundo inteligível em detrimento do mundo sensível da tradição socrático-platônica e chega à ordem neoliberal do século XX, com a formatação do homem-máquina, empresário de si, envolto em um espírito de gravidade. Mais animadora e menos sisuda é a conclusão de que já houve uma forma de sociedade em que a pressa constante não dominava, a do período trágico, e, no presente, há indícios de resistência à pressa, como a representada pelos movimentos que afirmam a lógica do devagar. O Zaratustra de Nietzsche já dizia: “Não é com a ira que se mata, mas com o riso. Eia, pois, vamos matar o espírito de gravidade!”
