Two studies were conducted: the first consists of the analysis of moral values conveyed by the soap opera Avenida Brasil (2012) and the second consists of a comparison of the results obtained in this analysis with those obtained in the analysis of the 1980s soap operas. The sample was composed of 90 chapters of the soap opera Avenida Brasil (2012) and the results of Camino e Cavalcanti (1998). For the analysis, three classifications were made: 1) according to Kohlberg's moral stages, 2) according to the intentions (Purpose) which issued the characters and the actions planned or undertaken to achieve this porpose (tactics) and 3) in accordance with the agreement, which is the appreciation, protection, acceptance and issuance of a certain moral reasoning, and the unconformity, which are transgressed behaviors and utterances that demonstrate a criticism, disagreement or rejection use of certain type of morality. The data were subjected to content analysis of Bardin (2010). The results of the first study showed that the most conveyed moral values by Avenida Brasil (2012) were those corresponding to stages 1 and 2; disagreements were related to higher stages - 4:05; purposes values were categorized in stages 1 and 2 and means values focused on actions that are committed against the other. The results of the second study showed that both the Avenida Brasil as soap operas of the 1980s, had higher frequencies related to lower stages - 1 , 2 - while the lower frequencies corresponded to higher stages - 3a, 3c , 4 5 [3] , 5 and 6. The soap opera Avenida Brasil (2012) showed a higher percentage values for stage 1 and stage 2, while the soap operas of the 1980s had a higher percentage of the values for stage 3a, 3c, 4, 5 and 5[3]. The agreement with stages 1, 2 and 3a was very high as soap opera Avenida Brasil as in the soap operas of 1980s. As for disagreements, the soap opera Avenida Brasil stands out in relation to the stages 3a and 4 and the soap operas of the 1980s in relation to stages 2, 3c, 5 [3] and 5. The soap opera Avenida Brasil had a higher percentage for purposes connected with the stage 1 and 3 conventional, while the soap operas of the 1980s have higher percentages of purposes related to stages 2, 3 affective, 4 and 5; Results showed that in the soap opera Avenida Brasil actions against others got higher percentage compared to soap operas of the 1980s. These, however, had more shares to the other and also more actions in defense of conventions or laws. It is believed that the social context in which the soap operas of the 1980s were created may have influenced the placement of more advanced moral content, since this was a period of social, political and economic openness. In the soap opera Avenida Brasil (2012), we find the author's intention in highlighting the theme of revenge, emphasizing the law into their own hands and this may be related to a public outcry for legality with emphasis on punishment and that this may have contributed to the propagation of lower moral values. / O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar uma telenovela da década de 2010, a partir da tipologia Kohlberguiana, e comparar os resultados com os de uma análise semelhante feita em três telenovelas consecutivas da década de 1980. Foram realizados dois estudos: o primeiro consta da análise dos valores morais veiculados pela telenovela Avenida Brasil (2012), e o segundo consta de uma comparação dos resultados obtidos nesta análise com aqueles obtidos na análise das telenovelas da década de 1980. A amostra foi composta por 90 capítulos da telenovela Avenida Brasil (2012) e pelos resultados da pesquisa de Camino e Cavalcanti (1998). Para a análise, foram feitas três classificações: 1) de acordo com os estágios morais propostos por Kohlberg; 2) de acordo com as intenções (Fins) das personagens que as emitiram e com as ações planejadas ou realizadas para alcançar esses fins (Meios), e 3) de acordo com a Concordância, que é a valorização, a defesa, a aceitação e emissão de um certo raciocínio moral; e na Discordância, que são os comportamentos ou verbalizações de crítica, desacordo ou rejeição ao uso de determinado tipo de moral. Os dados referentes às verbalizações e comportamentos dos personagens foram submetidos à Análise de conteúdo de Bardin (2010). Os resultados do primeiro estudo mostraram que os valores morais mais veiculados pela telenovela Avenida Brasil foram aqueles correspondentes aos estágios 1 e 2; as discordâncias relacionaram-se aos estágios mais elevados 4 e 5; os valores fins foram categorizados nos estágios 1 e 2 e os valores meios se concentraram em ações que são cometidas contra o outro. Os resultados do segundo estudo mostraram que tanto a telenovela Avenida Brasil quanto as telenovelas da década de 1980, apresentaram frequências mais elevadas referentes aos estágios inferiores 1, 2 enquanto que as frequências mais baixas corresponderam aos estágios mais elevados 3a, 3c, 4, 5[3], 5 e 6. A telenovela Avenida Brasil (2012) apresentou uma maior porcentagem para os valores do estágio 1 e do estágio 2, enquanto as novelas da década de 1980 apresentaram uma maior porcentagem para os valores dos estágio 3a, 3c, 4, 5 e 5[3]. A concordância com os estágios 1, 2 e 3a foi muito elevada na novela Avenida Brasil e nas da década de 1980. Quanto às discordâncias, a telenovela Avenida Brasil se destaca em relação aos estágios 3a e 4 e as telenovelas da década de 1980 em relação aos estágios 2, 3c, 5[3] e 5. A telenovela Avenida Brasil apresentou maior porcentagem para os fins ligados ao estágio 1, e 3 convencional, enquanto as telenovelas de 1980 apresentam maiores porcentagens de fins ligados aos estágios 2, 3 afetivo, 4 e 5; Os resultados mostraram que na telenovela Avenida Brasil as ações contra o outro obtiveram maior porcentagem em comparação com as telenovelas da década de 1980. Estas, em contrapartida, apresentaram mais ações a favor do outro e também mais ações em defesa de convenções ou leis. Acredita-se que o contexto social no qual as telenovelas da década de 1980 foram criadas pode ter influenciado a veiculação de conteúdo moral mais avançado, uma vez que tratava-se de um período de abertura sociopolítica e econômica. Na telenovela Avenida Brasil (2012), percebe-se a intenção do autor em destacar o tema da vingança, dando ênfase à justiça com as próprias mãos e isso pode estar relacionado a um clamor social por legalidade com ênfase na punição e que isso pode ter contribuído para a veiculação de valores morais mais baixos.

The purpose of this study was to build theory about parasocial relationships and to examine what affect, if any, religion had on parasocial relationships. Using qualitative methods, the researcher watched the show three times with five women followed by an in-depth interview. The women chosen were LDS stay-at-home moms who had watched a soap opera for at least a year. From this data came several surprising findings about religion and soap opera viewing. The women said they did not feel guilty about the content of the shows, rather the time required to watch. This guilt was alleviated by structuring their daily tasks around watching the shows. Also, since the women viewed the show as entertainment, they were less likely to judge the actions of the characters as harshly as if it were real-life. Current life situation was also the biggest factor in whether or not a parasocial relationship existed and how strong that relationship is. This thesis illustrates the need for a comprehensive theory about parasocial relationships. As the media becomes more prominent in our lives, parasocial relationships will need to become understood in greater detail in order to understand what possible effect, if any, they could have.

This research is about the spectatorship of Brazilian and Portuguese soap operas in Portugal. The Grounded Theory approach was employed to derive a “SOAP OPERAS SPECTATORSHIP MODEL” firmly rooted in the perspectives of 49 soap operas viewers. The resulting model reveals three groups of motives for viewing soap operas: a) mood management, b) habit, and c) social integration/ learning. Within the model, each motivation group is associated with a particular strategy and level of exposure to soap operas, as well as predominant choices about the soap opera’s national or foreign origin. With regard to Portuguese soap operas, particular attention is paid to the receptor´s social integration and learning, the latter allowing him/her to use the contents in his/her personal context: The receptor is being counseled in the taking of decisions, given the opportunity to evaluate feelings and behaviors, and to confirm or adjust attitudes, styles and behaviors. With regard to Brazilian soap operas, the motive of mood management is highlighted, though not excluding the other above mentioned groups of motives. Establishing the relationships between the concepts identified in the research, the study presents the viewers´ experiences with soap operas in Portugal. / Assistir às telenovelas brasileiras/portuguesas em Portugal é o tema investigado neste trabalho. A abordagem da “teoria fundamentada em dados” foi empregada na investigação para prover um “MODELO DA AUDIÊNCIA DAS TELENOVELAS” firmemente enraizado na perspectiva de quarenta e nove receptores entrevistados. O modelo resultante revela três grupos de motivos para a audiência: a) Gerenciamento do humor, b) hábito e c) Aprendizagem/Integração social. Cada grupo de motivos no modelo se associa a particular estratégia e intensidade de exposição às telenovelas, como também se associa as escolhas preponderantes das telenovelas por sua origem, se nacional e/ou estrangeira. Em destaque para a seleção das telenovelas portuguesas é identificado o uso dos seus conteúdos para integração social e aprendizagem/aconselhamento, este último permitindo ao receptor verificar a validade de sentimentos e comportamentos, aconselhamento para tomada de decisões, reforço/ajuste de atitudes, estilos e condutas para incremento da credibilidade e posição pessoal. Em destaque para a seleção das telenovelas brasileiras é identificado os motivos de Gerenciamento de Humor, muito embora de forma não excludente às outras categorias de motivos mencionadas. Com o estabelecimento das relações entre os conceitos surgidos na pesquisa indutiva, o estudo representa as experiências dos receptores das telenovelas em Portugal. / Lisboa

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2015. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this study I analyse the 1994 episodes of the popular soap opera Egoli: Place of Gold that coincide with the so-called ‘birth’ of the New South Africa. This moment in media history is characterised by a heightened sense of anticipation surrounding Egoli as the first local soap opera created by Franz Marx at the pinnacle of his career for the relatively new – and only – independent broadcaster in the country, M-Net. Because of the reliance of this genre on perceived realism, Egoli offers a historically significant televisual mediation of the widespread social and political changes that mark this particular period. I argue that the soap opera elicits a non-critical passive spectatorship and should therefore be regarded as a ‘readerly’ medium that transmits a form of pre-negotiated textual hegemony directly into the intimacy of the domestic viewing space. While acknowledging an awareness of the pivotal role played by white Afrikaans men in the safeguarding of cultural hegemony up until this historical juncture, my study diverges from the wealth of research on soap opera as a women’s medium and approaches Egoli with an interest in the programme’s construction of masculinities. An analysis of three contrasting male characters investigates Egoli’s formulation of a social matrix that reflects not only the programme’s attitude towards gender, but also to social power, class and race. I conclude that this specific soap opera lacks the ability to produce or reflect radical change. Egoli merely serves to reiterate the affirmation of the hegemony of an established order of Afrikaner patriarchy on a superficial level. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie studie analiseer ek die 1994 episodes van die populêre sepie Egoli: Plek van Goud wat afspeel tydens die sogenaamde ‘geboorte’ van die Nuwe Suid-Afrika. Hierdie oomblik in media-geskiedenis is gekarakteriseer deur ‘n verhoogde gevoel van antisipasie rondom Egoli as die eerste plaaslike sepie, vervaardig deur Franz Marx tydens die toppunt van sy loopbaansukses vir die relatief nuwe, en enigste onafhanklike uitsaaidiens in die land, M-Net. Vanweë hierdie medium se afhanklikheid op skynbare realisme, bied Egoli ‘n waardevolle historiese televisuele vertolking van die verrykende sosiale en politiese veranderinge van hierdie tydperk. Ek argumenteer dat die sepie ‘n passiewe kritiekloosheid in kykers uitlok en daarom as ‘n ‘leeslike’ teks benader moet word, wat ‘n reeds-onderhandelde hegemonie direk in die intimiteit van die huishouding oordra. As gevolg van die bewustheid van die kritieke rol wat deur blanke Afrikaanse mans vervul is in die beveiliging van kulturele hegemonie tot en met hierdie historiese moment, wyk my studie af van die veelvuldige navorsing oor die sepie as ‘n vroue-medium en benader ek Egoli met ‘n fokus op die konstruering van manlikheid. ‘n Analise van drie kontrasterende manlike karakters ondersoek Egoli se formulering van ‘n sosiale matriks wat nie alleenlik die program se benadering tot geslag blootlê nie, maar so ook tot sosiale mag, klas en ras. Ek sluit af met die bevinding dat dié sepie ontbreek in die vermoë om radikale verandering aan te spoor of te weerspieël. Egoli slaag slegs daarin om op ‘n oppervlakkige wyse die hegemonie van ‘n gevestigde Afrikaner patriargale orde te bevestig en te reproduseer.

It takes both of them from the point of view of the representations on the Brazilian sociability, in a context marked by increase of the income of part of working class – which supposedly elevated their status to the “new middle class”. This was due through social policies of assistance to the poor, to creation of formal job vacancies in industry, commerce and services, and to the recognition of labor rights guaranteed by legislation for precarious jobs during the Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010) and Dilma Rousseff (2011-2016)’s governments. From the audiovisual narratives of the two “telenovelas”, we conclude that the main Brazilian cultural industry company (TV Globo), transformed into a show the contradictions of a reality in which the “social inclusion by consumption” were insufficient to guarantee the basic rights of citizenship for groups historically relegated to poverty. This has boosted the reaction of the elites as to the alleged “lose of their privileges” that distinguish them from the exploited groups / Esta tese tem por objetivo analisar as telenovelas Cheias de Charme e Avenida Brasil, transmitidas para todo o Brasil no decorrer do ano de 2012, sob o ponto de vista das representações da sociabilidade brasileira, em um contexto marcado pelo aumento da renda de parte da classe trabalhadora – que supostamente ascenderam à condição de “nova classe média” – por meio das políticas sociais de assistência às camadas paupérrimas da população, à criação de vagas de emprego formal na indústria, comércio e serviços e ao reconhecimento dos direitos trabalhistas previstos pela legislação para os ofícios precarizados, efetivadas durante os governos de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2011) e Dilma Rousseff (2011-2016). A partir da narrativa audiovisual das duas telenovelas, concluímos que a principal empresa da indústria cultural brasileira transformou em “espetáculo” as contradições de uma realidade na qual a inclusão social via consumo foi insuficiente para garantir os direitos básicos de cidadania para as classes historicamente relegadas à carência, mas impulsionou a reação das classes privilegiadas quanto à suposta ameaça de perderem os “privilégios” que a distinguem das classes exploradas

The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between media, language and gender stereotypes. It assumes that language usage in mass media creates and reproduces gender inequalities. Its main objectives are firstly, to randomly select terms for Zulu women from the chosen TV case study, Kwakhalanyonini. Secondly, selected terms will be analyzed, using the 'transvaluative analysis technique', in order to explain their meaning and hierarchy. This having been done, an attempt will be made to show how the usage of these terms reflect gender stereotypes, by locating women into subordinate positions. A question may well be asked; why Zulu language? I am a native Zulu speaker, with Zulu speaking parents. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1996.

Within the context of debates concerning the reception and interpretation of media texts by television audiences, this qualitative reception study explores how a sample of Bulawayo students negotiate meanings from Zimbabwe's first health communication soap opera, Studio 263. The study thus examines the reasons behind the popularity of this programme with this target audience. The findings of the study reveal that meaning making is a complex process that is dependent on a variety of factors which include, among others, the socio-cultural context of media consumption, gender, economic disposition and age. It particularly maintains that gender and lived realities influence the interpretation and negotiation of meanings in this particular study. / Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.0 Paper Capture Plug-in

Latin American telenovelas have been exported to more than a hundred countries across the globe. While they are popular in their country of production because their messages resonate with their audience’s everyday experiences, their popularity amongst global audiences with whom they share neither a social nor a cultural history is unexplained. Kenya has been importing and airing Latin American telenovelas since the early 1990s, and telenovelas have permeated many aspects of Kenyan daily life, when compared to other foreign globally-distributed media products that are aired on Kenyan television. As global media products, telenovelas remain open to criticisms from the media imperialism thesis. This research adopts an ethnographic approach to the study of audiences, and looks at the reception of a Mexican telenovela, Cuando Seas Mia, by a group of young Kenyan women in Nairobi. It reflects upon the media imperialism thesis from an African perspective by investigating the meanings that these women make from Cuando Seas Mia, and how these shape their changing local identities and cultures. The young women in this study, most of whom have moved to the city from the rural areas, are influenced by traditional, patriarchal Kenyan society and by the modern, Western influences of an urban environment. They experience a tension between their evolving rural and urban roles and identities and are drawn to telenovelas because their exploration of rural-urban themes holds a relevance to their own lives. They negotiate their contemporary African youth identities, gender roles and heterosexual relationships in relation to representations in the telenovela, questioning and destabilising African and Western definitions. These women select aspects from their traditional, African cultures and from their modern, Western experiences (and consumption of global media) and reconstruct them into a transitional youth identity which suits their day to day lives as young women living in an urban African environment.
