Abstract:

This research explores the portrayals of perpetrators in television broadcast coverage of truth commissions within politically transitioning societies, particularly how these discourses may influence the perceptions and experience of transition out of conflict. It focuses on the narratives constructed around apartheid-era perpetrators who participated in the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) as shown by the South African Broadcasting Corporation's (SABC) weekly broadcast, Truth Commission Special Report.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the representation of the American president in fictional films and television programmes, as well as documentary film and photography. It engages broadly with the subject’s entire history, but focuses particularly on the past two decades (1992-2012). Its primary method is close textual analysis, departing from pre-existing studies that are largely preoccupied with questions of verisimilitude and historical accuracy. The construction of the cinematic and televisual presidencies requires a simultaneous negotiation of the ‘real’ political/historical record, and the desire to

Abstract:

The past several decades have witnessed a steadily increasing output of documentaries which aim to explore the intimate lives of individual subjects. Although there has been no official scholarly study delineating these films as a documentary sub-genre, they have been variously termed portrait or biographical documentaries, and they are a persistent feature of both documentary film production and non-fiction television programming. This project aims to situate these films and television programs within broader cultural shifts that have occurred in the latter half of the twentieth century, incl

Abstract:

The thesis examines the effects of the cross-fertilisation between cinematic, musical and televisual texts on depictions of two emblematic Brazilian social space - the favela (shantytown) and the sertão (arid backlands) - in recently released independent and mainstream domestic productions. I argue that through processes of intertextuality recent Brazilian films have gradually transformed the favela into a widely exposed, lucrative but also productively challenging spectacle. Similarly, the iconicity of the sertão has been resignified allowing a new understanding of the region to emerge. My

Abstract:

Following the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, the government of the United States of America declared a ‘War on Terror’. This was targeted not only at the ostensible culprits – al-Qaeda - but at ‘terror’ itself. The ‘War on Terror’ acted as a rhetorical ‘metaframe’, which was sufficiently flexible to incorporate a broad array of nominally-related policies, events, phenomena and declarations, from the Iraq war to issues of immigration. The War on Terror is strategically limitless, and therefore incorporates not only actual wars, but potential wars. For example, the bellicose rhetoric

Specifically, it traces the evolution of this myth through the period 1960-2012, a post-Imperialist era characterised by broad social, economic and political changes and internal divisions within the historic Union of Great Britain, demonstrating how British culture continually uses the past to comment on the present.

Abstract:

Since the origins of Australian cinema, filmmakers have told stories about convicts: those men, women and children transported from their homelands whose role as founding settlers was often viewed as a stain on the country’s reputation. This thesis argues that with the rise of screen culture, convicts emerged as key historical figures who shaped and defined ideas and attitudes about Australia’s colonial past. It navigates a way through the popular representation of the convict experience in an unprecedented collection of convict-related film and television programs, from silent epics to musica

A very few of the latter, such as Target for Tonight (1941) or Fires Were Started (1943) have become iconic representations of both the bomber offensive and the Blitz during the Second World War.

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of key broadcasting magazines published in the United Kingdom prior to the Second World War. At its centre is the premise that the relationship between broadcasting and the magazine industry evolving around it was symbiotic in nature. The relationship was complex because the broadcasters provided much of the material for the magazines to publish and therefore could potentially use this as a tool for influence and publicity, as they sought to stimulate the demand for their output in the British public. However, the magazines were the mediators of the flow of communication

Abstract:

When the topic of ‘adaptation’ is brought up, more often than not the coupling of a novel and its most recent Hollywood hit come to mind. Although it may not be at the forefront of the general population’s mind, adaptation is something that we encounter often, and consciously or not, we all have our own theory on the subject. While it may seem that the evolution of book series, to film adaptation, to booming franchise may be recently trending with the acceleration of blockbusters such as Harry Potter, adaptation has been a fundamental part of the advancement of media.

The historical moment of the late 1990s was determined by the successes of the American animated sitcom The Simpsons, which profoundly affected the way British practitioners conceived of the medium’s capabilities within a mainstream television e

This thesis focuses on the 1920s Parisian avant-garde films and their artistic potential as revealed in the contemporary art of video installations. Starting with an overview of the moving image arts in the early 20th century Paris,the project deals with both the theoretical and the practical aspects of the artistic experiment. Tracing the formation of the cinematic language from contemporary static visual arts, on the one hand, and the verbal art of literature on the other, the first chapter reviews the aesthetical content of the early 20th century Parisian avant-garde (cubism, Dada and surre

Abstract:

The first use of recorded sound in a feature film was in Don Juan (Crosland 1926). From 1933 onwards, rich film scoring and Foley effects were common in many films. In this context, Dracula (Browning 1931)1 belongs to the transitional period between silent and sound films. Dracula’s original soundtrack consists of only a few sonic elements: dialogue and incidental sound effects. Music is used only at the beginning and in the middle (one diegetic scene) of the film; there is no underscoring. The reasons for the ‘emptiness’ of the soundtrack are partly technological, partly cultural. Browning’s

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references.<br>This thesis develops an understanding of animation as transgression based on the work of Christopher Jenks. The research focuses on adult animation, specifically North American primetime television series, as manifestations of a social need to violate and thereby interrogate aspects of contemporary hetero-normative conformity in terms of identity and representation. A thematic analysis of four animated television series, namely Family Guy, Queer Duck, Drawn Together, and Rick & Steve, focuses on the texts themselves and various metatexts that surround th

How can people and issues be represented appropriately? How can one make a documentary about somebody or something with a totally different cultural background to one's own without being unethical?

Abstract:

Tiny is a film about a young woman who loses her imagination. Her creative energy is doused. She becomes what most artists are terrified of: uninspired. She is depressed, apathetic and stagnant. She does not move from her bed. Her toes sprout weeds. In order to regain control of herself and reignite her creativity she needs to plunge deeply into her multilayered psyche - an adventure that not only provides material for new creative insights but also guides Tiny to understanding herself better. She accepts the gods and demons that dwell within, recognising these complexes as the spirits of her

Abstract:

Title on accompanying disc: Zindzi<br>Television drama demands a strong sense of story to sustain a viewer’s engagement, and fictional characters are key dramatic vehicles in story construction, yet it remains an area that is severely neglected in terms of both theory and practice at this time in South Africa. I have discovered that the ‘death’ of the South African television character can be attributed (at least in part) to a unique set of challenges facing practitioners. My aim is to discover if the moribund television character can perhaps be resuscitated through the application of a concep
