Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'SOCIETY AND TV'

In many respects, the popular 1960's television series, The Fugitive perfectly captured the swelling disillusionment with authority, alienation, and discontent that soon encompassed American society. This historical/critical study provides a broad overview of the economic, social, and political climate that surrounded the creation of The Fugitive. The primary focus of this study is the analysis of five discursive topics (individualism, marriage, justice & authority, professionalism, science and technology) within selected episodes and to show how they relate to broader cultural debates which occurred at that time. Finally, this study argues that The Fugitive is a part of a television adventure subgenre which we may classify as the contemporary "wanderer-hero" narrative and traces its evolution through selected television series from the last three decades.

Resumo: Em um mundo cada vez mais conectado, o uso de aplicativos e redes sociais na televisão e, em especial no telejornalismo, vem se tornando uma prática muito comum entre as emissoras brasileiras. Por isso, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo entender o fenômeno da sociedade atual em que os telespectadores têm utilizado o aplicativo WhatsApp como forma de participação no telejornal Balanço Geral da Record TV Paulista. O estudo de caso nos norteou para que tentássemos compreender por meio de um repertório teórico como a comunicação dentro do telejornalismo tem sido alterada com a utilização do quadro Flagrou tá na Record, em que os telespectadores enviam suas contribuições à emissora. Esta pesquisa teve como metodologia a pesquisa exploratória, que se utilizou dos procedimentos de levantamento bibliográfico, estudo de caso, aplicação de um questionário, entrevista e, por fim, a análise de dados coletados nos espelhos do telejornal Balanço Geral, entre os dias 1 de junho até 31 de agosto de 2018. O que se pode constatar é que o quadro é na maioria das vezes utilizado pela população para fazer reclamações de suas cidades e bairros. Contudo, para que o telejornalismo continue tendo papel relevante para a sociedade é preciso aprofundar o debate para que o uso destas ferramentas de participação contribua significativamente na construção de um jornalismo transformador.
Abstract: In an increasingly connected world, the use of applications and social networks on television and especially on television news has become a very common practice among Brazilian broadcasters. Therefore, this research aims to understand the phenomenon of the current society in which viewers have been using the Whatsapp application as a way to participate in the TV news of free-to-air broadcasters, in special "Balanço Geral" of Record TV Paulista broadcaster. The case study has guided us to try to understand through a theoretical repertoire how communication within television journalism has been altered with the use of the attraction Flagrou Tá na Record (Freely translated as: “Caught red-handed by Record”), in which viewers send their contributions to the broadcaster. This research had as methodology a bibliographic survey, case study, application of a questionnaire, interview, and finally a data analysis. The present study analyzed the videos of the newsletter "Balanço Geral" between June 1st and August 31st, 2018 and what can be seen is that the picture is most often used by the population to make complaints about their cities and neighborhoods. However, for television journalism to continue to play a relevant role in our society, it is necessary to deepen the debate so that the use of these participation tools contributes significantly to the construction of a journalism that will be relevant and transformative for our society.

Reklama savo ištakas skaičiuoja jau penkis amžius. Per šį laiką jos funkcija ir išvaizda smarkiai pasikeitė. Šiandieninėje visuomenėje reklama žmogų seka visur ir visada, maža to, mokslininkai kuria modernias išmaniasias reklamas, galinčias atpažinti žmogų ir taikytis prie jo. Pastebint, kad pagrindiniu marketingo specialistų tikslu tampa ne informatyvi, o poveikį daranti reklama, verta sunerimti. Paskutiniais dešimtmečiais reklamos kūrėjai Vakarų šalyse ir Lietuvoje pradėjo skatinti vartotojišką meterialiąją visuomenę, lengvai pasiduodančią reklamos įtakai. Kai kurie specialistai reklamą apibūdina kaip suaugusiųjų sukurtą kalbą. Suaugę žmonės dažnai sugeba kritiškai pažiūrėti į reklamą, jiems lengviau nesusigundyti jos agitacijomis. Tuo tarpu vaikai prieš reklamą tampa bejėgiais. Tam tikrame amžiuje jie nesugeba atskirti realaus pasaulio nuo reklamoje kuriamos pasakos ir taip patenka į reklamos spąstus. Vartotojiškos visuomenės paplitimas tarp vaikų labai pavojingas jų raidai ir nuostatų formavimuisi. Nors Lietuvoje ir sukurta įstatyminė bazė, turinti prižiūrėti reklamos kokybę bei kriterijus, atlikti tyrimai rodo, kad reklama vaikams dažnai kuriama nesilaikant įstatymų. Kyla poreikis ugdyti jaunųjų vartotojų kritinį požiūrį į reklamą ir mokyti juos atskirti reklamoje vaizduojamas metaforas bei suprasti reklamos kalbą. Specialistai teigia, jog dažniausiai žmonės klysta ten, kur nežino. Vaikus supažindinus su reklamos pasauliu ir juose ugdant kritinį požiūrį į reklamą... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]
The origin of advertising counts for five centuries. During this time the function and appearance of advertising has changed a lot. In today’s society everywhere and always advertising follows person, even more, scientists create modern smart advertisings, which can recognize person and adapt to him. Noting that the main purpose of marketing professionals become not informative, but effective advertising, it is worth to concern. In recent decades, in Western countries and Lithuania advertisers began promote consumer-oriented and material society, which easily submits to advertising. Some experts describe advertising as speech generated by adults. Often adult manage to look at advertising critically, it is easier not to tempt adults with agitations of advertising. Meanwhile children become powerless. At a certain age they are not able to distinguish real world from a fairy tale so they fall into the trap of advertising. Popularity of consumer-oriented society among children is very dangerous for their development and the formation of the provisions. Although in Lithuania there is legitimate framework, which has to look after quality and criterion of advertising, studies show that advertising for children is often built outside the law. There is a need to educate young consumers critical approach to advertising and to teach them to distinguish between metaphors portrayed in advertising and understand the language of advertising. Specialists state that people usually make... [to full text]

This doctoral dissertation explores the benefits of an extensive exposure to L2 television for content comprehension and vocabulary learning with beginner, adolescent EFL learners, through a longitudinal classroom-based intervention. The study also aims at investigating the role of frequency and imagery in word learning, and evaluating the long-term effects this type of intervention may have on learners’ attitudes towards the use of L2 television for language learning purposes. In order to do so, several aspects were examined, including factors related to the intervention, the learner, and the input itself. Four classes of Grade 8 students viewed 24 consecutive episodes of a TV series – spaced over an academic year – under four experimental conditions, with each class being assigned to a different treatment. Two classes viewed the episodes with English [L2] captions, and two with Spanish [L1] subtitles. One class in each language condition received, additionally, explicit instruction on target lexical items. The first study in this thesis looked at the differential effect of captions and subtitles on viewing comprehension, alongside several mediating factors. Results confirmed the higher efficiency of subtitles over captions for content comprehension at this level of proficiency, and the importance of prior vocabulary knowledge when viewing with captions. It was also found that the episodes’ lexical coverage was a strong predictor of comprehension, although no pattern of improvement could be observed over time – even though learners’ perceived comprehension increased by the end of the intervention. In the second study, word-form and word-meaning gains were examined, following a pre- / post-test design. Results revealed that having explicit instruction on vocabulary (i.e. being pre-taught the words through short pre-viewing activities) yielded significantly higher vocabulary gains, and that proficiency played a key role in how learners made use of this type of input. Language of the on-screen text, however, did not emerge as a predictor of gains, although when captions were displayed this tended to lead to higher learning, especially when combined with instruction. Results also indicated that there was a positive correlation between vocabulary gains and comprehension, and that a high percentage of the vocabulary learnt was retained in the long term. The third study focused on the effects of word repetition, spacing, and imagery support. Analysis showed that words with a higher number of encounters or that appeared in a massed condition (i.e. in the same episode) were better learnt. It was also found that words that were image-supported had also higher learning gains. The last study looked into learners’ perceptions and feeling of learning from viewing audio-visual input in English through questionnaires and interviews. Students reported being highly motivated to learn through L2 videos, finding them useful for a number of language aspects, including vocabulary learning, listening comprehension, and matching aural and written forms of the words. Data also showed a shift in viewing habits in the long term, indicating the appropriateness of this type of classroom intervention to foster autonomous viewing at home. Taken as a whole, the results from this dissertation provide evidence that extensive viewing of captioned and subtitled TV series supports comprehension and L2 vocabulary learning. The characteristics of this type of input (i.e. repeated encounters with words, imagery) have been shown to contribute to facilitate language learning. Additionally, EFL learners, at this age and proficiency level, are motivated to learn through this media – in and outside the formal setting.
Aquesta tesi doctoral explora els beneficis d’una exposició prolongada a programes de televisió en llengua estrangera a través d’una intervenció longitudinal a l’aula amb estudiants d’anglès novells. La tesi, dividida en quatre estudis, se centra en la comprensió del contingut, l’adquisició de vocabulari, els efectes de la freqüència d’aparició de les paraules i la imatge, i les actituds dels estudiants envers aquest tipus d’input com a eina d’aprenentatge. Per tal d’investigar aquests aspectes, quatre classes de 2n d’ESO van veure 24 episodis consecutius d’una sèrie de televisió en quatre condicions experimentals, definides per la combinació de la llengua dels subtítols (anglès (L2) o castellà (L1)) i l’ensenyament del vocabulari (amb formació explícita o sense). Pel que fa a la comprensió, els resultats han confirmat que els subtítols en llengua nadiua són més eficaços, que el nivell de vocabulari en anglès juga un paper significatiu quan la sèrie es mira amb subtítols en anglès, i que el nivell de complexitat lèxica dels episodis (lexical coverage) també prediu el nivell de comprensió. En relació a l’adquisició de vocabulari, els resultats indiquen que ensenyar les paraules abans de veure l’episodi (a través d’activitats breus) comporta guanys significativament majors, i que el nivell de competència en anglès és clau a l’hora de beneficiar- se d’aquest tipus d’input. També s’ha trobat que els guanys en vocabulari estan relacionats amb el nivell general de comprensió, i que gran part de les paraules apreses es retenen a llarg termini. L’anàlisi de freqüència, la distribució i el suport visual de les paraules a demostrat que les paraules que més es repeteixen, i les que apareixen concentrades en el mateix episodi, així com les paraules acompanyades de la seva imatge, són més fàcils d’aprendre. Finalment, quant a les actituds dels alumnes, s’ha trobat que els estudiants estan motivats per a aprendre anglès a través d’aquest tipus d’input, i s’ha observat un canvi d’hàbits de consum de material audiovisual com a conseqüència de la intervenció. En conjunt, aquesta tesi doctoral demostra que una exposició prolongada a sèries de televisió en anglès pot potenciar l’aprenentatge de la llengua estrangera, gràcies a les seves característiques inherents (p. e. la repetició del vocabulari i la presència de les imatges) i el suport addicional del subtítols i les activitats de vocabulari.

Esta dissertação se propõe a problematizar as representações de tabu da sociedade brasileira, apresentadas na série de documentários Tabu Brasil, produzidos sob o viés do olhar da National Geographic Society. A hipótese que norteia este estudo é de que as representações de tabu na série focal, para além da mera exposição de casos, acabam marginalizando outros saberes e culturas, a partir de uma perspectiva situada e defendida por grupos hegemônicos no ocidente. A fundamentação teórica para esta análise apresenta como suporte principal os estudos discursivos de teóricos como Pechêux (1975, 1988, 1999), Foucault (1971, 1984, 1977) e Deleuze (1992), cujos conceitos de formação discursiva, sociedade disciplinar, relações entre poder, saber e verdade e de sociedade de controle serviram de base para a discussão. A análise versa sobre o imaginário construído em torno da questão de tabu, relativo à sociedade brasileira, a partir do ponto de vista dos produtores dos documentários, vislumbrando uma possível estereotipização e/ou um silenciamento para questões mais fundamentais na sociedade ocidental. O trabalho está organizado em três capítulos que investigam a construção dos documentários feitos para a TV, sua importância e condições de produção. Por meio das imagens, dos dizeres do narrador em off, e dos sujeitos representados, cujas identidades supostamente constituem um tabu, observa-se que as representações oferecem ao público uma visão parcial de um outro subalterno, sob o ponto de vista do grupo hegemônico. Ao mesmo tempo, imagens e texto fortalecem a representação de tabu, sugerindo a existência de uma sociedade ideal, diferente da retratada, revelando, a partir de nossa discussão, uma preocupação com possíveis abalos à gestão da sociedade de controle.
This dissertation aims to discuss the representations of taboo in the Brazilian society. Originally presented in the documentary TV series Tabu Brasil, it was produced by the National Geographic Society. The hypothesis postulates that representations of taboo in the target series, apart from mere case exposures, end up marginalizing other knowledges and cultures, from a perspective situated and advocated by Western hegemonic groups. The theoretical basis for this analysis is mainly grounded in discursive studies of theoreticians such as Pechêux (1975, 1988, 1999), Foucault (1971, 1984, 1977) and Deleuze (1992), whose concepts of discursive formation, disciplinary society, relations of knowledge, power and truth, and of society of control were the basis of the discussion. The analysis problematizes the constructed imaginary of taboo, as it relates to Brazilian social issues, based on the documentary producers point of view. The perception is of the stereotyping and/or silencing of more fundamental matters in Western society. The work is divided into three chapters that examine the production of TV documentaries, their relevance and conditions of production. Through the images, the speech of the narrator and the subjects whose identities are supposedly considered as a taboo, we can observe that the representations offer the public a partial view of a subaltern other, through the point of view of the hegemonic group. At the same time, images and text reinforce the representations of taboo, suggesting the existence of an ideal society, different from the depicted one, revealing, from our discussion, a concern with possible disruptions to the management of the society of control.

Prosocial behavior typically emerges during an infant's second year. Because it is posited to be continuous from infancy to adulthood, and past research has identified numerous positive outcomes associated with prosocial behavior, it is important to understand the mechanisms involved in early prosocial behavior, such as prosocial media. Past research has examined the relation between prosocial media and prosocial behavior in preschool children, but no studies have explored this association with infants. The current study includes 60 infants and their primary caregivers. Data about media use, parent-infant media interactions, and infant prosocial helping was collected through survey and observational measures. Results showed that prosocial media exposure and parent joint media engagement were not associated with infant instrumental prosocial behavior. Additionally, parent joint media engagement did not act as a moderator between prosocial media exposure and infant instrumental prosocial behavior. Discussion focuses on the implications of infant age, infant attention level, and age appropriateness of media on infant instrumental prosocial behavior, as well as potential problems within the measurement and cross-sectional study design.

Considerando a web como um espaço de televisão digital ainda pouco debatido e difundido, esta dissertação dedica-se a discutir a relação audiovisual e internet, perante a Economia Política da Comunicação. Entende-se que a internet reúne um conjunto de condições que a distingue, tornando-se um lócus alternativo para a conformação televisiva, a ser avançado a partir de políticas públicas para sua universalização, medidas na área de educação, soluções tecnológicas e estratégias operacionais de organizações midiáticas. A partir da Economia Política da Comunicação, são analisados os tipos de disponibilização de conteúdos audiovisual na internet, observando diversos sites que provêm produtos audiovisuais, desde aqueles que somente colocam links para outras empresas realizadoras de conteúdos, até os que possuem programação própria, em fluxo e exclusiva. Constata-se que existem seis grandes modelos de disposição de audiovisual na internet, considerando os seguintes fatores: origem dos conteúdos disponibilizados (próprios, terceirizados, exclusivos), estilo de programação (em fluxo, arquivos), acesso a download e possibilidade de interação do receptor com o emissor (interatividade).
Considering the web as a space for digital TV yet little discussed and disseminated, this dissertation is devoted to discussing the relationship between audiovisual and internet before the political economy of communication. Means that the Internet represents a set of conditions that distinguishes it, becoming an alternative locus for conformation TV, to be advanced from its public policies for universal measures in education, technological solutions and operational strategies of media organizations. From the Political Economy of Communication, we analyze the types of audiovisual content available on the Internet, watching several sites that provide audio-visual products, from those who only put links to other companies fulfilling the content, even those with their own programs, flow and exclusive. It appears that there are six major models of provision of audiovisual on the internet, considering the following factors: the origin of the content available (in-house, outsourced, exclusive) way of programming (in flux, files), access to download and possibility of interaction receiver and transmitter (interactivity).

In the era of mobile communication, television is adapting. Viewers watch TV in transit on portable devices. New technologies diversify communication, providing more free and democratic practices. However, the most influential opinion makers still focus on the same platforms of yore. Some datas shows that 75% of Brazilians have on open TV their main source of information about politics (BAVA, 2010). Increasingly, TV acts body-to-body, inserting itself in daily life, promoting a dance of habits. The hypothesis of this project is that we are being choreographed by our daily contact with television, which also teaches us what an artist is and how art should be. We use the concept of social choreography (HEWITT, 2005) to argue that the values prevailing in society and choreography alter our bodily habits, inside and out television. This hypothesis is based on two themes: the understanding that there is a co-dependency between body and environment, explained by the Corpomídia s Theory (KATZ and GREINER, 2004), and that the mediations involved there go towards BARBERO s proposal (1997). In contemporary society, the profession of an artist has lost the ability to have a concrete social status (AGAMBEN, 1974/2012), making it an abstract adjective that can be applied to anyone. The object of the research is the program schedule of TV Globo, SBT and Record, and his goal, to investigate the social choreography they promote regarding the understanding of what an artist is. The second chapter makes a poetic exercise that proposes a form of relationship between art and communication. The third chapter is a pilot project for TV, a possibility of intervention and development of academic s issues inside society
Na era da comunicação móvel, a televisão está se adaptando. Telespectadores assistem tevê no trânsito, em aparelhos portáteis. As novas tecnologias diversificam a comunicação, propiciando práticas mais livres e democráticas. No entanto, os mais influentes formadores de opinião ainda se concentram nas mesmas plataformas de outrora. Dados revelam que 75% dos brasileiros têm na TV aberta sua principal fonte de informação sobre política (BAVA, 2010). Cada dia mais, a tevê atua corpo-a-corpo, inserindo-se no cotidiano, promovendo uma dança dos hábitos. A hipótese desta dissertação é a de que estamos sendo coreografados pelo nosso contato diário com a televisão, que também nos ensina o que é um artista e como a arte deveria ser. Usamos o conceito de coreografia social (HEWITT, 2005) para sustentar que os valores praticados em sociedade coreografam e alteram nossos hábitos corporais, dentro e fora da televisão. Esta hipótese fundamenta-se em dois eixos teóricos: no entendimento de que há uma co-dependência entre corpo e ambiente, conforme explica a Teoria Corpomídia (KATZ e GREINER, 2004), e de que as mediações aí implicadas vão na direção do que propõe BARBERO (1997). Na sociedade contemporânea, a profissão de artista perdeu a possibilidade de ter um estatuto social concreto (AGAMBEN, 1974/2012), tornando-se um adjetivo abstrato, que pode ser aplicado a qualquer um. O objeto da pesquisa é a grade de programação das TVs Globo, SBT e Record, e seu objetivo, o de investigar a coreografia social que elas promovem no que diz respeito ao entendimento do que é um artista. O segundo capítulo realiza um exercício poético que propõe uma forma de relacionamento entre arte e comunicação. Já o terceiro capítulo é um projeto piloto para Tv, uma possibilidade de elaboração e intervenção das questões da academia na sociedade

Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo de corte transversal desenvolvido com escolares de uma escola pública da periferia urbana da cidade de Garanhuns- PE. Teve como objetivo compreender relações entre comportamento alimentar em crianças e a exposição a propagandas de alimentos veiculadas pela televisão. Participaram 27 crianças entre 7 e 9 anos de idade, das 29 matriculadas no início do ano (duas abandonaram a escola), tendo os cuidadores principais (mãe, pai ou avós) como informantes-chave. Cada criança teve oportunidade de responder a um questionário individual, pré-testado e adaptado para a cultura local; fazer um desenho e participar de uma conversa com a pesquisadora. Os familiares narraram práticas e preferências alimentares em diálogo semi-estruturado em horário sugerido e negociado com a direção da escola. A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da FSP/USP. Pode-se, como resultado, aprofundar a compreensão de como a publicidade diretamente veiculada e indiretamente transmitida- como parte do cenário- de alimentos interfere na culinária familiar e nas opções alimentares das crianças. Neste sentido, o cardápio familiar, com muitas variações, incorpora alimentos veiculados pela televisão com predominância de alimentos processados de baixo valor nutricional sob o aspecto qualitativo (nutrientes). O estudo corrobora os dados da Pesquisa de Orçamento Familiar (2008-2009) que aponta a transição nutricional em crianças como desafio das políticas públicas contemporâneas
This is a qualitative study of the cross-sectional design with students and their families in a suburban public school of the town of Garanhuns-PE. Aimed to study relationships between eating childrens behavior and exposure to food advertisements broadcast on television. Actively participated in 27 children between 7 and 9 years old and their primary caregivers (mother, father or grandparent) of 29 enrolled at the beginning of the year (two dropped out of school). Each child had chance to answer to a questionnaire individual, daily pre-tested and adapted for the local culture; to make a drawing and to participate of a colloquy with the researcher. The familiar ones had told practices and food preferences in dialogue halfstructuralized in schedule suggested and negotiated with the board of the school. The research was approved by the Committee of Ethics in Research of the FSP/USP. It can, as resulted, to deepen the understanding of how advertising directly or indirectly conveyed, transmitted as part of the scenario-food intervenes with the family cooking and food choices of children. In this sense, the familiar menu, with some variations, incorporates advertised foods on television with a predominance of processed foods with low nutritional value. The study corroborates data from the Brazilian Household Budget Surveys POF (2008-2009) that contemporaries point the nutritional transition in children as challenge of the public politics

Gli sviluppi tecnologici vissuti nell'ultimo quarto di secolo hanno determinato forti mutamenti non solo nella materialità dell'esistere, ma anche nella dimensione spirituale della persona. L'avvento della cittadinanza digitale ha obbligato ad un ripensamento del catalogo dei diritti e delle forme di esercizio degli stessi. La libertà religiosa, tanto nella sua dimensione individuale quanto in quella associata non solo ha subito l'influenza di tali cambiamenti, ma si è dimostrata in molti casi settore privilegiato per verificare la validità delle nuove forme di governo derivanti dallo sviluppo sempre più massiccio delle tecnologie informatiche. A partire, dunque, da un ripensamento dei rapporti tra diritto e religione sono stati individuati alcuni settori specifici di analisi al cui interno saggiare le nuove forme di governo elettronico, per comprendere le nuove declinazioni del diritto di libertà religiosa nella società digitale. Tali settori sono: la presenza delle confessioni nel sistema della stampa nazionale; il nuovo mondo di Internet e le problematiche connesse alla tutela dei marchi e del sentimento religioso; la presenza delle confessioni religiose nel sistema radio televisivo; la tutela dei dati sensibili religiosi nel nuovo Codice sulla privacy.
Last 25 years, technological developments have determined very important changes both on the material side and on the spiritual one of the people. The introduction of digital citizenship has obliged to rethink the bunch of rights and the way to apply them. The religious freedom, both individually and in association, has suffered the effects of these changes, but moreover has been a preferred sector where testing new governance rules needed to manage the innovations due to constantly increasing presence of information technologies in day by day life. Therefore, starting from a deep rethinking of the relationships between law and religion, some sectors of analysis, where testing new electronic governance rules, has been identified, in order to understand new evolutions of religious freedom rights in the digital society. These sectors are: presence of religious denominations in the national press; Internet world and issues related both to the trademark management and to religious sentiments; presence of religious denominations in radio-TV system; protection of religious sensitive personal data in agreement with the new privacy Code.

This analysis examined the effects of reality television on its audiences. The purpose of the research was twofold: to uncover the effects that reality television has upon its audiences, and to determine whether or not these effects indicate that reality TV acts as an agent of societal change. The genre was divided into two distinct programming types: documentary as diversion and lifestyle programs. The findings suggested that reality TV has many audience effects. Discussion centered around the investigation of the second research question. It was concluded that lifestyle programs are agents of societal change, while documentary as diversion programs are not. Limitations and suggestions for further research were put forth

This thesis analyzes the contents of the Turkish magazine programs to explore as if the contents feed anti- establishment feelings or reinforce the existing hegemony in the society. The theses also traces the audience attitudes and beliefs towards the magazine programs in Turkey. The results suggested that programs do not represent any threat to the existing hegemony. On the contrary, it is more plausible to suggest that they represent a serious support to the existing order. The audience reactions revealed an oppositional attitude towards such programs in general which shows differences in terms of gender, education, political views, father'
s education level and hours of TV watching.

Depuis la fin des années 90, la plupart des animes n'arrivent en Europe qu'en DVD, alors qu'ils ont occupé largement les programmes pour enfants, il y a 30 ans. Rompant avec le circuit marketing habituel qui impose un passage à la télévision avant d'être distribués sur le marché de la vidéo, les animes édités en DVD illustrent une forme de " démédiation " des séries TV. De rendez-vous télévisuels, ils sont "re-conditionnés" en œuvres vendues directement au public pour qu'il les collectionne. Cette thèse étudie la manière dont les amateurs d'animes acceptent d'entrer dans cette logique de collection. L'hypothèse suivie a été celle de la ciné-vidéophilie qui postule une convergence entre des pratiques autrefois distinctes de cinéphiles et de vidéophiles. Cette recherche combine les études de réception et la sociologie des usages, permettant d'éclairer sous cet angle spécifique le développement des stratégies transmédia à l'œuvre dans les industries du divertissement audiovisuel.

L’essor des chaînes satellitaires arabes à l’échelle régionale et mondiale a métamorphosé l’espace médiatique arabe. Le début des années 1990 annonce la mondialisation, et l’acquisition de la technologie satellitaire dans les pays arabes semble être le début d’une nouvelle ère dans une région où se conjuguent la rentabilité financière et l’influence politique et idéologique des acteurs. Les chaînes de télévisions d’information en continu sont le modèle approprié qui traduit ce schéma dans une région politiquement, économiquement et culturellement complexe. C’est l’avènement d’Al Jazeera et sa couverture de la guerre en Afghanistan en 2001 et par la suite la guerre en Irak en 2003 qui a bien façonné une large proportion de l’opinion publique arabe. D’autres chaînes arabes du même genre en quête d’influence se sont multipliées en un temps record dans cet espace médiatique, telles qu’Al Arabiya, Al Manar, ONTV, Al Mayadeen et d’autres, le transformant ainsi de façon radicale. L’audience arabe est également convoitée par des chaînes occidentales arabophones financées par les gouvernements respectifs de leurs pays comme la chaîne américaine Al Hurra, française France 24, britannique la BBC Arabic ou allemande DW . L’étude porte sur le rôle de ces chaînes d’information dans les changements qu’a connus et connait à l’heure actuelle la région du Moyen Orient, et leur degré d’engagement pour la diffusion et l’ancrage des valeurs et pratiques démocratiques. Dans quelle mesure les métamorphoses propres de ces chaînes sont susceptibles de révéler les transformations les plus profondes des sociétés arabes? L’objet de cette recherche est de saisir les modalités de l’avènement des chaînes de télévisions d’information en continu, de définir les objectifs de leur création et d’identifier les acteurs de toute sorte afin d’en discerner les conséquences sur le plan médiatique et géopolitique
The Arab TV satellite channels’ growth at the regional and global scale metamorphosed Arabic media space. The early 90s impulse globalization and satellite technologies’ acquisition by Arab countries seems to be the beginning of a new era in this region where combined financial profitability, political influence and ideological actors. TV Channels rolling news and continuously broadcast information are the appropriate model that reflects this scheme in a region politically, economically and culturally so complex and mostly complicated. It is the advent of the Arab TV channel Al Jazeera and its Afghanistan war coverage in 2001 and thereafter the Iraq war in 2003 that have shaped a huge proportion of Arab public opinion. Other TV channels of the same kind are multiplied and diversified in a record time, such as Al Arabiya, Al Manar, ONTV, Al Mayadeen, etc. Arabic audience is also coveted by Western Arabic TV channels financed by western countries and their governments, such as the U.S. channel Al Hurra, French once 24 French, British one BBC Arabic or the German one DW. The study focuses on the role of the TV channels specialized on news in r evolutions known and continuously know at present the Middle East region.What is the degree of their commitment to broadcasting and anchoring universal values and democratic practices? What is the degree of influence may reveal changes in the Arab societies? The purpose of this research is to understand how the advent of TV Channels rolling news, set goals, and identify actors in order to recognize the consequences over the media plans and geopolitical perspectives

Cette recherche se déroule en six parties en référence au modèle de l'espace public télévisuel dans les différents contextes historiques chinoise. Dans la première partie, nous analysons le contexte et les conditions essentielles qui ont donné naissance à l'espace public, et qui ont tenté d'interpréter le concept de l'espace public dans le domaine télévisuel. Dans la deuxième partie, nous présentons les télévisions publiques occidentales qui sont des sources d'inspiration pour la réforme chinoise. Et puis, la troisième partie, nous présentons un panorama de la télévision chinoise. Dans la quatrième partie, nous analysons la chaîne CCTV à partir de 1978, année où la Chine a commencé son évolution économique et son ouverture au monde. Puis, nous présentons Phénix TV, la télévision commerciale unique chinoise, ce qui sans doute influencé profondément la télévision en Chine continentale. En fin, nous mettrons en évidence les limites et les faiblesse de l'espace public, par rapporte rend la vision d'un système démocratique encore plus lointaine.

Cette étude montre comment les usages de la Mobile TV viennent compléter ou remplacer les usages des autres supports médiatiques. Elle défend la thèse selon laquelle les utilisateurs s'approprient ce service par le travail de leurs préférences médiatiques, et plus précisément par leur attachement opportuniste au genre journalistique. Le transfert des préférences, des supports fixes à ces services mobiles, est parasité par diverses contraintes d'usage incitant les usagers à sélectionner celles qui sont ajustées à la taille de ces écrans de poche, aux problèmes de réception du réseau téléphonique, à la brièveté des créneaux d'utilisation, etc. Ce transfert forme dès lors une épreuve pragmatique à travers laquelle les préférences sont renouvelées. En ciblant les usages développés durant les déplacements, nous montrons comment les utilisateurs traversent cette épreuve en opportunistes. Ils mobilisent les médias, dont les téléphones multimédia, et les contenus rendus opportuns par les ressources et les contraintes rencontrées durant la conduite des déplacements. Ils développent alors un rapport réflexif vis-à-vis des médiations techniques qui équipent leurs pratiques, des situations qui accueillent leurs usages, des co-présents qui cautionnent tacitement leurs réceptions médiatiques. A l'heure où la sociologie de la fréquentation des biens culturels patine sur le terrain mouvant de la diversification des pratiques médiatiques, il peut être bénéfique de décrire comment cette propension opportuniste converge, à toute fin pratique, avec la captation des médiations techniques tissant ainsi, à la voie passive, des entrelacements d'usage et des attachements culturels.

Les mouvements d'émancipation et de libération de la femme au XX° siècle ont contribué à une redéfinition des statuts sociaux et politiques des hommes et des femmes. La scène médiatique participe du brouillage des frontières entre sphère privée et sphère publique et des nouvelles déterminations des rôles féminins et masculins. Cette recherche en Sciences de l'Information et de la Communication interroge les représentations télévisuelles des rapports hommes-femmes dans un corpus de télévision française.Entendu que le genre est un rapport social fondé sur un principe de bipartition qui génère une catégorisation hiérarchisée entre les sexes et les valeurs qui leur sont associées, l'analyse des contenus de la télévision permet de mettre à jour les assignations de genre qui traversent le champ des représentations. La télévision est à ce titre un poste d'observation privilégié, puisqu'elle est à la fois constituée et constitutive des représentations de genre.Quels sont les modèles relationnels représentés dans les contenus télévisuels du corpus ? Au moyen d'une double grille d'analyse qualitative, il s'agit d'identifier les régimes de monstration télévisuelle du couple homme-femme et les rôles qui leur sont respectivement attribués. La modélisation obtenue met en exergue les normes télévisuelles du rapport homme-femme dans une société post-patriarcale où les inégalités perdurent. Les apories de la différence des sexes, les dystopies amoureuses et les réassignations de genre sous conditions véhiculées par les contenus de la télévision soulignent la précarité du couple contemporain. Des normes relationnelles aux figures-sanctions, les couples du corpus nous amènent ainsi à une réflexion sur les liens entre normes et vulnérabilité. L'analyse des représentations télévisuelles au prisme du genre confirme donc la productivité de cette approche pour le champ des Sciences de l'Information et de la Communication.

Le premier chapitre résume et anticipe une grande partie des thèmes de la recherche. Le §.1 et le 2 montrent la surprise et l'égarement de certains autorisés intellectuels libéraux démocratiques face à la victoire de Berlusconi en 1994, qui, avec les transformations de la loi électorale en 1993, marquerait, selon l'opinion courante, le passage à la " deuxième République ". Ma recherche suggère plutôt que 1994 a été le retour à une culture antipolitique longtemps refoulée, que Berlusconi a bien su interpréter et représenter, tant dans ses télévisions que dans sa propagande politique directe. En revanche à mon avis c'est la défaite des référendums de 1995 pour l'abrogation du duopole télévisuel et pour la limitation de la publicité (§.3) qui montre des indices bien plus forts de son hégémonie en tant que personnage public et " commanager " (" communication manager " - P. Musso), mais les politiciens traditionnels ont de graves responsabilités en ce qui concerne les origines du duopole et le développement de son hégémonie télévisuelle (§.4). Dans le §.5,6 et 8 j'expose les deux clefs d'interprétation de l'histoire de la néo-télévision qui guideront ma recherche surtout dans les ch. 5, 6 et 7 : l' " effet Meyrowitz " et l' " l'effet Chomsky " (les guillemets sont nécessaires car je ne prétends pas qu'il s'agisse de théories pouvant être universalisées et formalisées, mais seulement de critères pour l'organisation et l'interprétation des données historiques). La première suggère la possibilité que la néo-télévision en Italie ait stimulé la perte progressive de l'aura, du prestige et de l'autorité des parents, des politiciens et en général des adultes. La théorie de Meyrowitz, inspirée à la sociologie dramaturgique de Goffman, visait à expliquer l'époque des mouvements de la contestation en Amérique par le biais de la diffusion de la télévision parmi les familles américaines (50% environ d'entre elles avaient un poste en 1954). Mais le recours à la paléotélévision ne peut pas donner de contributions importantes à la compréhension de ces mêmes mouvements en Italie : elle y était moins répandue, avait beaucoup moins d'heures d'émission, avait une seule chaîne au début et au maximum deux, etc ; et de toute façon beaucoup d'autres stimulations (la contagion étrangère, p.ex) se sont manifestées. La néotélévision en revanche a constitué un changement rapide qui a concerné tous les aspects (heures d'émission, nombre de chaînes,etc), donc ont peut s'attendre à une ultérieure perte de prestige des adultes, mais dans une forme différente par rapport à la contestation. L' " effet Chomsky " peut intégrer l' " effet Meyrowitz ". Selon Chomsky, les médias qui vivent de publicité doivent " produire " (je dirais : attirer, sélectionner, former) leur public, qu'ils devront " vendre aux annonceurs ". Les grilles de la néo-télévision seront donc au service des exigences des ces derniers. Il ne s'agit certes pas d'une idée nouvelle, ni d'une idée de Chomsky seulement, qui l'emploie de façon apodictique dans sa polémique contre les media mainstream : elle est partagée entre autres par A. Pilati avec une intention décidemment apologétique (cf. §.8). Naturellement cet " effet " est encore moins déterminable de manière scientifique, car la formation concerne notamment en tant que telle la longue période, est le résultat de trop de facteurs croisés et ses conséquences sont difficilement prévisibles, sinon carrément imprévisibles. Néanmoins les attitudes des italiens envers la publicité et les marques ont changé depuis de façon si radicale (cf sondages Eurisko) que l'on ne peut que les mettre en relation avec le développement contemporain de la néotélévision. En outre la publicité adressée aux enfants vise à en faire des consommateurs autonomes par rapport à leurs parents.

TV Love is a study of the emotional and imaginative possibilities summoned and sustained by television programmes, possibilities that are here gathered under the rubric of love. By taking seriously a vernacular claim to love particular television programmes, this thesis intervenes in conventional practices of academic television criticism. It does so in order to develop an approach that would allow a focus on what television programmes make possible for the viewers who love them. I argue that the transactions between viewers and television texts constitute forms of emotional training that not only reproduce social subjectification, but also enable diverse forms of intimate experience. This is especially important for those subjects who struggle to find forms of psychic sustenance in an off-screen context. The critical approach taken in this thesis is termed reparative, following the work of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, in so far as it describes a process of restoring value to much maligned cultural objects. As a rationale for critical practice, reparation recognises the inadequacy of the social context in which diverse subjects must make a possible world for themselves. In particular, reparation describes the processes by which queer subjects have been able to mark out the terms of their own possibility in the face of difficult social or psychic conditions. The value of reparative criticism is not limited to queer readers or viewers, although queerness frequently demonstrates what is at issue between the conventions of academic television criticism and the alternate mode developed in this thesis. While academic criticism most often focuses on the ideological lessons presumed to be delivered by television programmes, this frequently overlooks the smaller scale emotional work that subjects carry out every day. Television programmes can both enable this emotional work and be the subject of its labours. In order to develop a fuller and more useful practice of television criticism than currently exists, TV Love contends that it is necessary to attend to the affectively enlivening potential of television for its viewers. The first chapter considers television as a technology of intimacy in terms of its domestic location and critically analyses television scholarship that has sought to address the specificity of that context. The second chapter further develops this theoretical overview by examining approaches that more explicitly deal with the affective engagements television allows. It then moves on to outline the particular reparative approach taken in this thesis. Chapter Three considers the series of documentaries that began with Seven Up in 1964 and, in a departure from the conventional discussion of class associated with the documentaries, this chapter focuses on the affective training the series carries out over its four decade history. The situation comedy Bewitched is the focus of the fourth chapter, which explores the way in which sitcoms can be profoundly imbricated in the very experience of childhood and family life. The repetition of a favourite programme from childhood, even years later, can generate emotional returns that demonstrate this intimate connection. Chapter Five continues the discussion of situation comedy with an analysis of the seventies hit The Mary Tyler Moore Show. In particular this chapter attends to the reiterations of the Mary Richards character across other textual contexts in order to identify the emotional competencies the Mary character makes possible beyond her seventies context. Chapter Six takes on the heritage criticism that has framed academic thinking about the serial drama Brideshead Revisited and presents an alternate reading in which high-cultural forms serve to connote homosexuality. The final chapter examines a series of programmes about the late Diana, Princess of Wales in order to identify the affective politics those programmes might be seen to enable.

M society is a golbal trend caused by the abatement of the traditional inverted U income curve of the middle bourgeoisie. Small part of them step into higher income range, and most of them come down to middle low class. This kind of the income subdivision takes shape of M character, two side high and middle low. Except the polaization of income, it also means the division into two opposing extremens of expenditure and a new socity appearance in wich the difference of wide poverty gap. Taiwan, Janpan and HongKong, Asia developed contries, have belonged to M Socity category. The consumers conscious raise gradually in the M society, and company with the help from different marketing methods which make NEW Luxury rise sharply combine with society change and different commernece ability. LCD TV is suitable for M Socity because of high price, abundant product function and high added-value. HANNSpree, the study case, established since 2002. The company launced three different series of LCD TV, Sporty Active, Fashion and Fantasy, and it produced over 100 product models. HANNSpree uses priority segmentation as marketing strategy plan, fine works brand image and product gategory as product design fuature, quality control as marketing strategy execute, markup on cost as pricing strategy, Internet AD and public relationship build up as marketing promotion, and retail store as main sales channel. HANNSpree'S M society marketing strategy plan and execution, after intervie, shows following characters. 1. Ignoring the market segments which can enhance the decision making of market segment. 2. Using maekt position method can remedy the non-consideration of user market position analysis or competitor market position analysis. 3. If the pricing strategy is not been executed thoroughly, it can be remedied by perceived pricing. 4. If the product quality could not satisfy customer's requirement, company should improve product quality control process. 5. Channel development should focus omnibearingly and also digital protocol. Once HANNSpree can improve all those weakness, this company maybe can back to global market and become a famous brand.

This study analyzes the representation of “White Collar” in TV advertisements by means of Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory to manifest the transformation of the ethic of work in the consumer’s society. According to Zygmunt Bauman, the contemporary society is undergoing a shift from the producer’s society to the consumer’s society. A major attribute that characterizes the new consumer’s society is that a work is no longer valued as a life-time career pursuit. This is due to the tendency of “flexibility” of employment, which does not guarantee permanent employment. 　 　　The thesis regards advertisement as “a privileged form of discourse.” Hence TV advertisements construct highly “symbolic” discourses through images, and have become a major “mediator” that manifests the values of the consumer society. This study finds that in advertisements featuring White Collar, the traditional Fordist ethic of work such as self-denial, hard working, and frugalness is no longer emphasized. The image of the White Collar begins to be formed by the logic of consumption, which emphasizes self-identity and choice. These correspond to the production logic of post-Fordism which is characterized by “individuality”, “flexibility”, and “fluidity.”

A tese aqui apresentada tem como questão inicial qual o significado das práticas quotidianas de informação e comunicação para a gestão individual da problemática da saúde, naquilo que se refere explicitamente à construção e desenvolvimento de processos de autonomia individual no campo da saúde. A saúde individual e a sua gestão quotidiana nunca envolveram tanta informação como actualmente. Grandes quantidades de informação sobre saúde e medicina são disponibilizadas a partir de diversas fontes. Este fluxo constante de informação incentiva o indivíduo a ser responsável pela sua saúde, e dos seus familiares, quotidianamente. A análise apresentada considera três dimensões de análise: 1) Internet e Televisão, enquanto meios de difusão de informação e promoção da comunicação na esfera da saúde; 2) Utentes, e a construção da sua autonomia no contexto da saúde, através do acesso a informação e comunicação; 3) Profissionais de Saúde, mais especificamente médicos, e a construção da sua autonomia em relação aos sistemas formais e tradicionais da saúde e, simultaneamente na promoção da autonomia do utente e nas mudanças na relação médico/paciente. É na interacção entre estas três dimensões, e no aprofundamento do conhecimento sobre elas, que se pode compreender a importância dos processos de autonomia, nas sociedades contemporâneas, autonomia que deve ser entendida como a afirmação por parte do indivíduo da sua capacidade de pensar e agir em função dos seus próprios critérios, valores e esforços. Concluímos, assim, que a mediação afecta as práticas e representações da saúde e que os media têm um papel central na construção de projectos de autonomia individual no campo da saúde.
This abstract main issue is the meaning of daily information and communication practices concerning the individual management of the health problematic, regarding what explicitly concerns building and developing individual autonomy processes in the health field. Individual health and its daily management never involved as much information as today. Great amounts of health and medical information are available from different sources. This constant information flow motivates individuals to be responsible for their own and their family’s health, daily. This analysis considers three dimensions: 1) Internet and Television, as means of spreading information and promoting communication in the health sphere; 2) Users, and the building of their autonomy in the health context, through information and communication access; 3) Health Professionals, namely doctors, and the construction of their autonomy regarding formal and traditional health systems and, simultaneously, the promotion of users autonomy and changes in doctor/patient relationship. In the interaction between these three dimensions, and by deepening the knowledge about them, we can understand the importance of autonomy processes, in contemporary societies, which must be understood as an individual’s statement of his ability to think and act according to his own criteria, values and efforts. We therefore conclude that mediation affects health practices and representations, and media have a central role in building individual autonomy projects in the health area.

The TV series represent a specific phenomenon in Egypt and other Arab countries. Albeit generally regarded as an uninteresting part of popular culture rather than a sort of art, the TV dramas should be seriously taken into consideration by all of social, history, and art scientists. Firstly, because of the extreme popularity among the large majority of the Egyptians, the series are often used by authorities for spreading certain ideological and political messages. The questions of national unity and the rise of militant Islam were chosen as examples to prove this in the thesis. Secondly, the Egyptian TV series reflect the social changes in Egyptian society and promote modernisation. This is shown in the thesis on the cases of marriage and the woman status. The production of TV series in Egypt is enormous and watching them is very widespread. Therefore, the TV dramas represent a powerful means to influence Egyptian society. Keywords: TV series, television, Egypt, popular culture, film, television drama, Egyptian society, social changes, satellite broadcasting, media.
