The theme of this thesis is the competitive strategy of The Prague Loreto. Introductory part gives an overview of the development of Loreto and shows its cultural and spiritual values. This section also raises the fundamental question of this thesis -- the falling attendance of The Prague Loreto. Then the product structure, which consists of the cultural and spiritual products, is analyzed for understanding this problem. In the next chapter there are all visitors segmented into the specifics groups, it is analyzed its attendance and the SWOT analysis is created. Consequently the new competitive strategy is proposed. Last part of the thesis consists of the financial analysis, the progress chart and the costing of the new strategy.

This project started with the Taiwanese�s Cultural & Creative Industries Policy, which demands that all new products include local cultural content. However, little is known about Taiwanese cultures. This research looked specifically at one of the cultures, the Paiwanese Tribe. This thesis reports on the research journey; identifying what the Paiwanese knew about their culture and why they were unable to produce traditional products. It argues that the displacement of the tribe has made it materially impossible to continue traditional practices. This research then identified ways of capturing spirit of traditional culture using modern technology. A successful model of working with crafts people workshops in discussed. A case is made for the use of narrative enquiry and oral history to record Paiwanese understanding. These understandings were translated into a design outcome using a design method called narrative design. The success of this research suggests that such an approach is one model that can be used in design using new technologies and materials from the re-establishment method of traditional products. The understanding generated for regaining traditional craft knowledge is extended with the design of a tea set that draws on this traditional knowledge, narrative and culture. The tea set represents this knowledge for a global market. It is argued that the design process used can guide design that transforms the culture message and delivers it for a wide audience. This design concept process is a model that can be used to develop cultural products.

With the onset of the independence of the Pacific Island States, the role of the mass media and their developmental processes began to be examined. This was of particular interest due to the obvious lack of a sufficient native media infrastructure to meet the demands of an indigenous population who were being introduced to a new world sphere and system. The main problem of mass media development in the Pacific lies in the fact that the nations in this area are still relatively behind in the basic structures of media participation. They lack technological knowledge of the various forms of media, the basic training and skills, and, moreover, the monetary means to address such deficiencies in the media. The outcome of this circumstance has been that Pacific media have become increasingly dependent upon the Western, industrialized nations such as the USA, Australia and New Zealand. Such dependence on these foreign nations has given rise to the question of 'cultural imperialism'. The aforementioned countries have a large influence in the Pacific through the unequal relaying of communication and cultural products and in the ownership of mass media agencies. This history of foreign based, imported culture has manifested itself in increased urbanization, social disruption, and greater commodity dependence and consumerism in the Pacific. This study will therefore be an attempt to analyse the media development processes of the Pacific by using Fiji as a case study. The critical analysis will come from Wallerstein's World System perspective. Further, it will be shown how Fiji's historical, involvement in the 'capitalist world economy', and her history of racism in the political and communication aspects of her society have helped shape her present media system. The underlying premise of the argument, will be that these factors have not been beneficial to achieving mass media development based on self-sufficiency, nor on harmony between the ethnic groups of Fiji.

Esse vale é destinado, inicialmente, às classes populares, assumindo-se que esses indivíduos não participam ativamente do mercado de produtos culturais. Assim, tendo a teoria de Bourdieu (1979) como alicerce e a lei como o motivador das indagações, este trabalho buscou compreender como as classes populares se relacionam com o gosto legítimo, ou seja, compreender como esses indivíduos se apropriam daquilo que é imposto como cultura válida pela elite. A partir de uma abordagem interpretativista e da combinação de múltiplas técnicas qualitativas de coleta de dados através de entrevistas em profundidade, observação participante, entrevista com imagens e design thinking, buscou-se a resposta ao objetivo do trabalho. Pode-se verificar que os jovens das classes populares são bastante heterogêneos em relação aos seus gostos. Assim, a partir da heterogeneidade e das semelhanças, eles estabelecem pontes ou muros com os demais. No campo foi possível perceber que os adolescentes se subdividem em três grupos de práticas de consumo: os locais, os globais e os outliers. Cada um desses grupos possui produtos culturais que os caracterizam. Além disso, a cultura consumida pelas classes populares é aquela que está de fácil acesso, ou seja, a cultura de massa. Devido à heterogeneidade dos indivíduos das classes populares e singularidades em relação ao consumo de produtos culturais, o governo deve levar em conta as características dos cidadãos das classes populares para que a promoção de políticas públicas associada ao consumo cultural tenha o efeito desejado de diminuição das desigualdades. / At the end of the year 2013 goes into effect in Brazil the “culture voucher” law, which guarantees a monthly benefit for workers earning less than five minimum wages. This voucher is initially destined to people in popular classes, assuming that they do not actively participate in cultural events. Thus, taking the theory of Bourdieu (1979) as the basis and the law as the motivator of questions, this study sought to understand how the popular classes relate to the legitimate taste, i.e. to comprehend how these people accept what is imposed as genuine culture by the elite. From an interpretive approach and a combination of multiple qualitative techniques to collect data through in-depth interviews, as well as a participant observation and interviews with images and design thinking, we sought to answer the study's objective. It is possible to observe that young people from lower classes are quite heterogeneous in their tastes. Thus, from the heterogeneity and the similarities they establish bridges or walls with others. In the field it was revealed that teenagers are subdivided into three groups of consumption practices: local, global and outliers. Each of these groups has cultural products which characterize them. Moreover, the culture consumed by the popular classes is one that is easily accessible, i.e. mass culture. Due to the heterogeneity of individuals in this class and the singularities of cultural products consumption, the government should take into account the characteristics of the popular classes’ citizens so the promotion of public policies associated to the cultural consumption has the intended effect in the decrease of inequalities.

Central to my project is the process of reexportation, whereby Caribbean artists attain success at home by first achieving renown abroad. I argue that the primary implication of reexportation is that British and American conceptualizations of the Anglophone Caribbean have had a determining effect upon attempts by Anglophone Caribbean fiction writers and filmmakers to represent the region. Chapter I introduces the dissertation. Chapter II, "The 'Double Audience' of Samuel Selvon and The Lonely Londoners ," concerns Trinidadian author Samuel Selvon, who--along with George Lamming, Derek Walcott, and V. S. Naipaul--is cited as being among the most important and influential of the West Indian authors who began publishing in the 1950s. Although I consider all of Selvon's ten novels in that chapter, my main concern is The Lonely Londoners (1956), Selvon's best known and perhaps most pivotal and misread novel. Chapter III, "Contrapuntally Re-reading Perry Henzell's The Harder They Come, " features a reevaluation of the Jamaican filmmaker's 1972 motion picture, which in many complex ways remains the Caribbean film. Chapter IV, " Pressure and the Caribbean," focuses on Trinidadian filmmaker Horace Ove's Pressure (1975), which I deliberately treat as a Caribbean film although it is still best known as Britain's first feature-length dramatic movie with a "black" director. Vital secondary texts include selected works by Edward Said, Mikhail Bahktin, and Richard Dyer, as well as Kenneth Ramchand, Keith Warner, and D. Elliott Parris. The three existing book-length analyses of Selvon's fiction are the main voices with which the Selvon chapter is in discourse. David Bordwell's work in cinematic narrative theory and Marcia Landy's contribution to the study of British genres are essential to the frameworks through which I read the cinematic primary texts. / Adviser: Gordon Sayre

Thirty-three young Black men of the Post-Hip Hop Generation (ages 18-25) in Austin, TX, participated in a qualitative study centering on questions investigating Black manhood, media use, and the consumption of popular cultural products. Further, the researcher examined representations of Black men throughout music videos, films, and MySpace profiles. The purpose of this study was to enhance our knowledge about how Black manhood is being defined, conceptualized, and expressed by young Black men, and how significant media and cultural consumption plays a role in their lives. This study probes six questions: RQ1: How do young Black males interpret the images and messages about Black men from mainstream media? RQ2: What types of cultural products are being consumed by young Black men? Why do they consume them? RQ3: How do young Black males define Black manhood? RQ4: Do these cultural products influence the ways that young Black men define/express Black manhood? If so, how? Focus group sessions were conducted throughout the study, which were video recorded and transcribed. Transcriptions were then imported into a qualitative software program known as Atlas.ti, where statements related to the purpose of the study were coded and analyzed. These coded statements were then compared to observations made by the researcher from the examined media representations. / text
