Abstract:
In international crises, the media’s information and orientation function is particularly important in the public sphere. While the news media’s crisis coverage has been well researched and often criticized, very little is known about the depiction of crises in political satire. This study examines how German satirical shows (n = 154 episodes, 2014–2016) covered the Ukraine, Greek debt, and migration crises and whether or not these depictions corresponded to news media logic. In its attention to the crises, satire follows news media’s conflict orientation. Parallels with news media logic also relate to the information function because the predominant frame elements in satirical shows mirror governmental positions. This is different regarding the orientation function. In their evaluation of the frame elements, satirical shows’ criticism of governmental positions and their support for minority positions create a counter-narrative for the crises. Thus, satirical shows provide added value for public discourse.

Abstract:
This paper examines the financial crisis of 2007–9 in the UK and US in terms of the financial instability hypothesis (FIH), a theory of boom, bust and financial crises. It is shown that in a similar way to the crises of 1866 and 1987 (Barnes, 2007) the FIH provides an important depiction of the 2007–9 crisis and how it came about. However, it does not recognize: (1) the role of accounting information and how it may contribute to boom and bust and be used to change perceptions and mislead; and (2) the likelihood of fraud and financial swindles, all features of the 2007–9 crisis.

Abstract:
This paper explores Graham Lang’s depiction of the Zimbabwean crisis, migration and identity in Place of Birth (2006). The text, by foregrounding the experiences of a white Zimbabwean family’s attempts to survive the crisis, offers a hitherto marginalised discourse/narrative in Zimbabwean literature, which largely focuses on the experiences of black Zimbabweans. Lang’s understanding of the nexus between the Zimbabwean crisis, migration and identity is chiefly centred on the Zimbabwean government’s land reform programme. However, Lang’s depiction of the Zimbabwean crisis in general and the land reform programme in particular largely resonate with colonial perceptions of the African, which project him/her as inherently atavistic in nature.

Abstract:
AbstractThis project examines the framing of the Syrian refugee crisis in Canadian print media from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2016, in eight English-language major dailies. Using automated coding to uncover central themes in the coverage, this analysis explores the changes in news frames over the course of the conflict and the concomitant federal election in Canada, as well as across regional and national news sources. The results indicate that the conflict frame dominates the coverage of Syrian refugees in the pre-election period but shifts markedly following the release of the iconic Alan Kurdi photo toward a more humanizing depiction of refugee families and their resettlement. This analysis speaks to the importance of news media in reflecting and reproducing depictions of refugees among the Canadian public, highlighting the value of examining changes in the portrayals of refugees over time and across news outlets.

Abstract:
Considering traditional research on social-ecological crises, new social media analysis, particularly Twitter data, contributes with supplementary exploration techniques. In this article, we argue that a social media approach to social-ecological crises can offer an actor-centered meaningful perspective on social facts, a depiction of the general dynamics of meaning making that takes place among actors, and a systemic view of actors’ communication before, during and after the crisis. On the basis of a multi-technique approach to Twitter data (TF-IDF, hierarchical clustering, egocentric networks and principal component analysis) applied to a red tide crisis on Chiloé Island, Chile, in 2016, the most significant red tide in South America ever, we offer a view on the boundaries and dynamics of meaning making in a social-ecological crisis. We conclude that this dynamics shows a permanent reflexive work on elucidating the causes and effects of the crisis that develops according to actors’ commitments, the sequence of events, and political conveniences. In this vein, social media analysis does not replace good qualitative research, it rather opens up supplementary possibilities for capturing meanings from the past that cannot be retrieved otherwise. This is particularly relevant for studying social-ecological crises and supporting collective learning processes that point towards increased resilience capacities and more sustainable trajectories in affected communities.

Abstract:
Matsombo’s stories: Jef Geeraerts’s representation of the 'Congo crisis' in Het verhaal van Matsombo The so-called Congo crisis (1960-1965) received a great deal of attention internationally. A literary response in Dutch to what happened in the former Belgian colony is Het verhaal van Matsombo (Matsombo’s story) by Flemish writer and former colonial civil servant, Jef Geeraerts. Until now, little critical attention has been given to Het verhaal van Matsombo, despite regular reprints of the text. This article researches how the Congo crisis is represented in Geeraerts’s novel. Although Geeraerts’s depiction of colonial conflict is, in certain respects, close to that of Franz Fanon, Geeraerts’s is ultimately a Western view.

Abstract:
The literature on the relationship between parents and adult children reveals an embedded tension. While the law typically characterizes parents and their adult children as legal strangers, several legal rules assume intergenerational altruism. This Essay argues that Someday All This Will Be Yours by Hendrik Hartog unpacks this dichotomy and offers a much richer depiction of intergenerational relations in an age of market economy. The book portrays an intermediate space where autonomous individuals engage in private ordering but the same parties also maintain a dynastic understanding of their commitments. This depiction provides a useful lens for the analysis of occurrences of informal care between parents and adult children. The Essay discusses intergenerational cohabitation in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis as an example of such an analysis.

Full text
Abstract:
This study aims to provide an Anglo-Swedish perspective on displacement and humanitarian crisisin post-war Europe through an analysis of photographs and supporting text published by Swedishand British pictorial magazines Se and Picture Post during the period 1945 – 1946. The researchexplores photographs concerning the themes of fallen destiny and fate, humanitarian relief,organisation of displaced persons and civilians rising from ruin. The study questions how Sweden’swartime position of neutrality and Britain’s wartime anti-axis, anti-fascist position affected the wayin which Se and Picture Post, two media organisations loyal to their states and part of a bigger medialandscape, presented their outlook, role and actions on the humanitarian and displacement crisis inpost-war Europe. The study seeks to highlight the importance of the photograph as a usefulhistorical source for historians in understanding mentalities and ideologies of Swedish and Britishmedia organisations in post-war Europe, a source that has often been overlooked. The findings ofthe study show that Se remained mostly positive throughout the post-war period by displayingimages of camp survivors and heroic Swedish humanitarian workers. The reason for this was thatthe editors of Se wanted to continually promote and support Swedish national prestige by depictingSweden as a moral superpower. Se aimed to show support for the national government’s decisionto stand politically neutral during the war, a decision which made it possible to perform rescuemissions in wartime and offer humanitarian support in post-war Europe. In contrast, Picture Postconsciously chose to repeatedly present images of disillusioned Germans, famine and suffering,civic resilience, re-education of Germans and hopeful Jewish survivors in order to blame Germany for the misery that war had created and thus present Britain as the victorious power.

Title: Difficulties in drawing development in preschool age Author: Pavlína Vyšínová Department: Department of Psychology Supervizor: PhDr. Miroslav Klusák, CSc. Abstract The submitted dissertation is focused on the observation of difficulties in the drawing development of preschool children. Drawing is a typical means of expression of a child, it is often considered as a spontaneous and natural activity. Nevertheless in the population of preschool children we may find some kids who do not draw at all, or they start to draw at a much later stage than it is common amongst the ordinary population, or they may also react negatively to drawing. Within this work a phenomenon in which the child's drawing distinctively does not correspond to his cognitive abilities due to the risk of a specific disability of drawing adoption (dyspinxia) or due to another crisis of imaging in the preschool age. The focus of the research lies in the processing of quantitative methods (intellectual abilities test, drawing tests), however additional information is also derived from the qualitative methods (anamnesis, interview, observation, essay). In the methodology a new evaluation system for the scoring of children's drawings regardless of the depicted theme is introduced. A part of the work also suggests an intervention for the...

Abstract:
This diploma thesis focuses on the topic of women as victims of home violence in crisis intervention. The aim of the theoretical part is to point out basic characteristics typical for an abused woman, with the support of professional literature and further on to be used as the basis for empirical investigations. The theoretical part further aims to show the specifics of social pedagogical work with the victims of home violence by presenting an example from good practice. The empirical part is elaborated in the form of a collective case study, individual cases are described in a casuistic form. The practical part follows three main lines. First aim is to find out whether an image of a woman as a victim of home violence presented in professional literature corresponds with the knowledge from the practice of The Crisis Center in Chrudim. The second examines to what extent it is possible to implement the recommendation from experts in providing crisis intervention to women at risk. The third aim is to answer the question whether it is possible to use the education of victims as an effective tool in social pedagogical work. These aims of the practical part relate to the answering of one main and three partial research questions. The main research question: Does the typical image of an abused woman...

"American Drug Story How Racialized Media Depictions of Drug Crises Shape Policy Agendas." Master's thesis, 2020. http://hdl.handle.net/2286/R.I.57402.

Abstract:
abstract: I explore the relationship between social constructions of target audiences and the impact of these constructions on policy outcomes in the context of two drug crises: the crack epidemic in the 1980s and 1990s and the opioid crisis that began in the first decade of the 2000s. Using a content analysis of media depictions of the drug users during each crisis, I find that racialized depictions of drug users are used to reinforce stereotypes of either deviant or dependent classifications of the target audience. These social constructions are combined in the media coverage with suggested policy frames appealing to the necessity criminal justice and/or public health approaches to policy agenda used to address the drug crisis. These frames and social constructions help explain the disparate policy approaches employed in both eras.

Abstract:
With warmer weather returning in the spring of 1855, fighting renewed and spread to the southern and eastern parts of the peninsula. In May and June, the Allies struck at Yalta, Feodosia. They entered the strait of Kerch, bringing widespread destruction to towns along the Azov Sea. The Allies waged economic warfare. Invading soldiers razed homes, and decimated industry. The Russian military, meanwhile, enacted scorched earth policies and destroyed the food it could not relocate. The intensification of violence prompted a new refugee crisis. This chapter gives a depiction of the mercenary aspect of Allied campaigns and offers a rare glimpse into Russian efforts to alleviate the strain of war upon the civilian population. The chapter concludes with an assessment of war damages in the region.

Abstract:
A united Europe needs new visions to take it forward. This is even more relevant in times of acute crises, such as the financial and banking crisis, the eurozone crisis or the refugee crisis, and in times of other events which threaten solidarity in Europe, such as Brexit. In his book ‘Europas vergessene Visionäre’ (Europe’s forgotten Visionaries), Winfried Böttcher reveals how visions once arose. This outstanding work brings together important European thinkers with great visions for Europe who have been unfairly forgotten. In doing so, it builds on Böttcher’s successful standard reference work ‘Klassiker des europäischen Denkens’ (Quintessential Figures in European Thinking). Just like quintessential thinkers, visionaries also contribute to validating the past and the present and to shaping the future. In this book, 25 eminent authors from 18 universities and academic institutions focus on these ‘forgotten’ visionaries for Europe from 13 countries. They reveal to us how different visions can be in depicting the future.

This chapter places the debates over voluntary integration within the context of the Boston busing crisis and the national recession. Explorations of the dramatic events that surrounded the Boston busing crisis have often focused on the ways in which “suburban liberals” passively stood by as working-class whites and blacks in the city endured the burden of school integration. However, the residents along Boston's Route 128 belt were not as removed from the events and issues as those depictions might suggest. The discussion about METCO during this period of turmoil illuminates how the various forces of suburban politics influenced the remedies to school desegregation and racial and economic inequality.

This chapter reviews the importance of sacred subjectivity to various black sexual cultures. In its proposal of nonmonogamy as an alternative practice for funk's genealogy of affection, relationality, and sexuality between human and nonhuman beings, the chapter addresses M. Jacqui Alexander's question about sacred subjectivity. Using queer legal theory, debates about the marriage crisis in black communities, and cultural depictions of nonmonogamy in the science fiction of Octavia Butler and the erotica of Fiona Zedde, the chapter reveals how funk attends to alternative models of family and community to challenge the heteropatriarchal recolonization that happens with capitalism and the Western model of family.

Abstract:
Widely acknowledged as a highly innovative film, Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch was released in 1969. From the outset, the movie was considered controversial because of its powerful, graphic, and direct depiction of violence, but it was also praised for its lush photography, intricate camera work, and cutting-edge editing. Peckinpah’s tale of an ill-fated, aging outlaw gang bound by a code of honor is often regarded as one of the most complex and influential Westerns in American cinematic history. The issues dealt with in this groundbreaking film—violence, morality, friendship, and the legacy of American ambition and compromise—are just as relevant today as when the film first debuted. To honor the significance of The Wild Bunch, this collection brings together leading Peckinpah scholars and critics to examine what many consider to be the director’s greatest work. The book’s nine essays explore the function of violence in the film and how its depiction is radically different from what is seen in other movies; the background of the film’s production; the European response to the film’s view of human nature; and the role of Texas/Mexico milieu in the narrative.

Abstract:
This chapter examines how entertainment television addressed color-blind equality through an analysis of NBC's Julia, considered the most significant entertainment show of the civil rights years. Created by writer-director Hal Kanter and starring Diahann Carroll, Julia presented viewers with whites only as supporting characters. However, the image Julia provided could only clash uncomfortably with dominant news imagery of exploding ghettos, Black Panthers and other non-nonviolent militants, as well as the generalized chaos and upheaval characterizing the period. This chapter argues that Julia was a fictional vision of the “black and white together” utopia promised in the networks' March on Washington coverage. It also considers how black and white audiences as well as mainstream press critics all made sense of the show in notably different and, at times, contradictory ways. Finally, it discusses the concerns of black viewers and some white critics about Julia, including its depiction of the black family.

Full text
Abstract:
Talk to Her (2002) is a hugely rich and interesting, though ambiguous, film that met with both popular success and critical acclaim. The film won an Oscar for best original screenplay and has been hailed by some critics as Pedro Almodóvar's masterpiece. Yet like most of Almodóvar's films, little is clear-cut. The characters are complex and our affinity and empathy for them shifts throughout the film. This book provides an in-depth analysis of both the formal elements of the film (its narrative, genre, and auteur study) and the themes and issues it raises, discussing the social context of modern Spain and its old, traditional iconography; shifting attitudes towards gender; and, crucially, the film's uneasy, morally ambiguous depiction of rape and the spectator's reaction to it.

To many observers, the present resembles Antonio Gramsci’s depiction of crisis: a historical interregnum in which the old is dying and the new cannot be born.1 In the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis, some scholars invoked the image of “zombie neoliberalism” to explain how the reigning form of political-economic governance could persist, as if undead, through the wreckage of its own making. Despite the economic devastation, more of the same neoliberal measures were implemented: liberalization, privatization, marketization, securitization, and austerity....

Abstract:
This chapter calls for a truthful understanding of politics that admits the complex and sometimes very contradictory subject positions that people adhere to. There is always a temptation to disengage from contemporary political struggles and instead expend time postulating what a ‘postneoliberal’ future might entail. In examining neoliberalism, the politics of resistance, and prosocial forms of engagement, the chapter argues that a useful starting point is to interrogate the subject positions people adopt to understand the contemporary political era. Often these rely on a depiction of an economic and social crisis accentuated by neoliberalism, a sense of moral outrage, and the attribution of culpability on to those who are considered responsible.

Part III uses the hermeneutics and narrative theory established in the first half of the book to investigate a film genre that emerged at the end of the millennium: the suburban ensemble dramedy. The first chapter makes the case that suburban ensemble cinema comparatively amalgamates a number of conventions from a range of antecedent genres: infidelity dramas, family trauma dramas, the midlife crisis film and the coming-of-age film, along with works from other media, including socially conscious domestic TV sitcoms. It compares the history of suburban media depiction in American cinema with the lived realities of residentially dispersed contexts as they developed over the second half of the 20th century.

Abstract:
Chapter 2 examines the role of elite governmental actors in producing the narrative of the so-called 2015 ‘migration crisis’ and creating the conditions under which walling and deterrent border security policies flourished. The first part of the chapter draws on key press releases, speeches, and policy documents issued by the EU Commission and its agencies in order to map the emergence and trajectory of this elite ‘crisis’ narrative from the so-called ‘ghost ship’ arrivals to the height of ‘irregular’ arrivals that year. The second part shows how this ahistorical, Euro-centric, and (post)colonial governmental frame—with its reductionist depiction of mobile populations and sanitized one-sided view of border-related violence—has been problematized and disaggregated by research that documents the experiences of those seeking entry to the EU. The third part draws on theoretical literatures on the politics of crisis in order to argue that, irrespective of its empirical accuracy, the so-called ‘crisis’ narrative has enabled the intensification of deterrent border security measures on- and off-shore and the re-emergence of disciplinary walling techniques among EU Member States in ways that would be otherwise unpalatable in liberal democracies during ‘non-crisis’ times. But while extant work on crisis enables a critical analysis of the politics of ‘crisis bordering’ that is essential for any attempt to grapple with the book’s overarching puzzle, ultimately it falls short of explaining why populist calls to ‘take back control’ have been stoked rather than satiated by such bordering and therefore it is necessary to investigate those calls—and their reception—among diverse publics in closer detail.

Abstract:
Drawing on recent work in affect studies and on analyses of white masculinity in European American literature and other modes of cultural production, this essay explicates the depiction in Louis Begley’s novel About Schmidt (1996) of a contemporary white male psyche in crisis. Begley’s protagonist, 60-year old widower and recently retired lawyer Albert Schmidt, embodies and enacts the emotional atrophy and consequent “ugly feelings,” in Sianne Ngai’s terms, of a late-twentieth century, self-declared and self-sabotaging White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. In this satiric, traditionally literary novel, the central character demonstrates that in part because, in Thandeka’s psychoanalytic terms, he has “learned to be white” via identity-forming imaginings of racialized others, he has yet to achieve a mature degree of compassionate humanity

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the action of William Shakespeare's plays and explains in detail how various concerns, points of references, and sets of narrative expectation are brought together and resolved. It highlights the depiction of Hamlet's spiritual crisis and his obsession over the prospect of suicide. It puzzles over the extent and the spiritual and epistemological consequences of Hamlet's own madness or melancholy, analysing whether he is the subject of demonically induced delusions and lies. The chapter looks into the term “atheist” in its Elizabethan sense, which is someone who is acting, or trying to act, as though God, the soul and the afterlife do not exist. It also compares Hamlet's soliloquies to someone talking like an atheist but acting like a Christian.
