Abstract:

This thesis has used the methodology of an ideological criticism on the long-running science-fiction television series, Doctor Who. Argued within, is that an ideological paradigm shift occurred during the fifty years of scripted storylines. To discern evidence supporting the shift, multiple episodes were viewed from each of the first eleven Doctors. During the viewing process all aspects presented within the show, such as dialogue, movements, tactics, and traits, were explored for ideological agency. Once found, the discourse was further analyzed to understand how these ideologies were enf

Abstract:

<p>Television is a widespread, easily accessible component of popular culture that we invite into the most intimate of environments: our homes. Like other forms of popular culture, it is not only influenced by religious belief, but also has the power to transmit both traditional and subversive religious ideas to viewers. This thesis draws upon methods used in the study of religion and popular culture to argue for the potential of television to influence religious belief. Television can transform contemporary thought and renegotiate ideas of identity as well as reposition social debate and conf

Abstract:

Drawing upon a significant weight of empirical data, collected in the field, this thesis proposes a set of four spectrums of investment engaged in by cult media fans: the spectrum of financial investment; the spectrum of what is here termed 'participatory investment'; the spectrum of investment in the idea of textual authenticity; and the spectrum of multiple investments. The spectrum model allows the individual members of the research sample to be located within specific regions of each spectrum and correlations to be drawn between the distinct spectrums, in order for any patterns which emerg

Abstract:

Gamebooks represent a strange phenomenon in the literary world. Many people believe them to be a long-dead genre which could not survive the extremely rapid evolution of roleplaying games, and thus fell victim to the advent of computers and videogames. Translating a gamebook not only means to walk in its writer’s shoes, but also forces the translator to face a completely different type of roleplaying experience, given that adventure gamebooks had a very restricted fanbase during their brief history. A successful translation of this type of literature requires a remarkable deal of attention, p

Abstract:

The democratisation of science - shifting science governance, work opportunities and ideologies away from the exclusive domains of elite minorities and into the hands of the people - is an important aim of science communication. If communication products such as television series can influence peopleï¿½s relationships with science in terms of their career choices, belief systems and feelings of ownership over science, then it is important for science communicators to understand what television series are saying about science. In this thesis I examine representations of science in the long-ru

Abstract:

The aim of this essay is to analyze the seasons of the science-fiction series Doctor Who that have been produced since 2005, comparing the work of the two showrunners Russell T. Davies and Steven Moffat, and focusing in particular on their portrayal of women, LGBT people, and race. The first chapter gives a definition of science fiction as a literary genre, and presents a brief history of the connection between women and science fiction, and of the representation of race within the genre. The second chapter introduces the TV series and its basic elements, characters, and villains. The third

Abstract:

This thesis explores the intersection of folkloric ritual theory and popular culture, expressed in science fiction television. The three-part rite of passage model established by folklorist Arnold van Gennep and later expounded upon by anthropologist Victor Turner is used as an analytical tool to establish the themes and structures of two popular television programs, Battlestar Galactica and Doctor Who. Both contain structures that resemble a rite of passage and exhibit a particular feature of the liminal stage of a rite of passage: ludic recombination. In the discussion of Battlestar Galactic
