Abstract:

Book reviewing has a fraught history in the United States. Reviewers have long been accused of not being analytical enough. It should be no wonder then with the emergence of social media that online book reviewing has become increasingly popular. Online reviewers, especially book bloggers, are no literary gatekeepers in their own right, shaping the tastes of readers across the world. Book blogs in particular pay special attention to titles which have long been derided by institutions such as libraries, academia, publishers, and bookstores. These literary gatekeepers typically ignore roman

Abstract:

It has been shown that firms that perform benchmarking and are aware of the external environment are more likely to succeed. An approach to benchmarking is innovation benchmarking, which is a concept used to describe what factors that contribute to a benchmarking success. As for all types of benchmarking, the goal is to accomplish a better and more beneficial organization but it is not always easy to identify what other companies, industries or governments do well. Measuring innovation can be difficult, and it is therefore important to find the right variables and using the right performance m

Abstract:

This thesis aims to understand the emotions expressed by adults watching animated films with death topics through sentiment analysis. The research is a quantitative sentiment analysis from the perspective of distant reading. The previous studies on death scenes in animated films have only focused on child audiences. However, the age group of the audience of animated films is extensive; thus, it is necessary to analyse the sentiments of adult audiences. This thesis attempts to collect two movies produced by Pixar studio: Coco (2017) and Soul (2020), as well as their audience reviews on IMDb, a

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Treating the concept of culture as a heuristic allows us to analyze multiple contexts involving culture as continuously changing with or without exterior contact. The productions from such system have the potential to develop identities through ideological materials produced by specialized rhetoric. This paper then focuses on how figurative language and structure affect the ways in which rhetoric, ideology, and identity are formed within the context of film reviews. In particular, I analyze reviews from the films Birdman and The Revenant, both directed by Alejandro Gonzales Iñárritu,

Abstract:

The thesis examines how users of the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) negotiate feminism in their reviews of four superheroine films – Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, Birds of Prey: The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn, and Wonder Woman 1984. By combining critical discourse analysis with methods of corpus linguists, this corpus-based study of over 18,000 reviews analyses the frequency of the topic of feminism in the reviews, words and topics associated with it and the way the reviewers reflect broader mediated discourse over the four films, and the role of IMDb as a space for these rev

Abstract:

The thesis investigates a connection between the publishing industry and the film industry. It analyses whether films based on best-selling books have higher revenues and return on investment compared to films based on unsuccessful books or original scripts. Data for years 2009 -- 2015, focusing on the U.S. entertainment industry, show that film adaptations of best-selling books reach higher revenues during their opening weekend of the theatrical release. The Bestseller Effect weakens once the information about film's quality becomes available to the audience. The success of a book plays negli

Abstract:

Le film à épisodes est un format cinématographique différent des long et court métrages : il se compose de tranches projetées en salles chaque semaine et, contrairement à la série, l'ensemble des épisodes forme un récit continu et homogène. Il est également un genre en raison de la répétition de thèmes, situations et personnages. Ces motifs proviennent de la littérature de masse de la fin du XIXe siècle et sont, de la sorte, très facilement identifiables par le public. L'apparition de ce type de films au cours de la Grande Guerre provoque un fort engouement de la part des spectateurs. Une noto
