▼ This project explores the anxieties authors of the early twentieth century experienced in relation to mass media, particularly newspapers and the movies, focusing on the selected works of four modernist authors: Sherwood Anderson, James Joyce, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Ernest Hemingway. The works I examine span a twenty-year period, from the late 1910s to 1940, when both the newspaper and movie industries were firmly established as ???mass??? media. I submit that these authors sustained very complicated relationships with the media they were in contact with. While all four of these authors worked for a time in one of these media, they maintained a negative attitude toward these same media when writing about them in their fiction. All four of these authors depicted perceived flaws in the very media they participated in. Anderson and Joyce, critiquing the newspaper world, suggest that newspapers fail to fulfill expectations regarding ???real??? and accurate representations of the world. Anderson???s portrayal offers different reasons for the medium???s inabilities than Joyce???s, but both authors??? fiction comes to comparable conclusions of the newspaper business??? inadequacy to compete with the representations that could be found in literary fiction. Fitzgerald and Hemingway, writing about the movie business, highlight what they see as that medium???s shortcomings, and though both Fitzgerald and Hemingway personally held great optimism in the potential of movies they ultimately suggest otherwise in the fiction I examine. For these authors, the anxieties they felt were quite real. Some of the worries that these four authors held existed long before their time and continue to persist in the media saturated world of the early twenty-first century. Whatever reservations these authors had, though, they did not preclude them from envisioning the possibilities of different media, participating in those media, and utilizing their experiences (both real and imagined) in their own literary fiction. The connections between media and authorship in the early twentieth century were extremely complex, and the blurred lines between different modes of communication???as well as the definitions of ???art??????created concerns that these four authors expressed in the best way they knew how: in their literary works.

▼ This study was aimed at determining the effectiveness of the media in Lusaka, Zambia as a tool for the dissemination of Economic information for poverty reduction using ZNBC Radio II and the main television channel as a reference point. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative research methods such as use of quantitative questionnaires, In-depth interviews and focus group discussions. The research took lessons from other sources with the hope of making a difference in the lives of Zambians, especially the poor and vulnerable, by availing them Economic information and education that would improve their knowledge, skills and attitudes. This would enable them to develop behaviour which is critical in making selective engagement with financial products, thereby assisting them to get the required knowledge to better their living standards. The majority of people on the African continent, and Zambia in particular, do not use formal financial services. At the time of this study, available statistics showed that only 37 Percent of the Zambian population has access to financial products, formal or informal. This lack of access to financial products is both a symptom and a major cause of poverty since the low income populations are not able to benefit from the savings vehicles, transaction functionality, risk management tools, and various wealth-building options offered by supervised financial institutions, thereby perpetuating financial problems. The study found that ZNBC was a major source of Economic information in Zambia. In response to a question on their source for Economic or financial information, 35 people representing 28.2 percent of respondents indicated that ZNBC radio and television channels provided them the most Economic information. This was the biggest source of financial information followed by The Post newspaper at 13.7 percent of respondents. However, the study further indicated that poor programming and lack of economic or financial reporting qualifications among journalists at ZNBC were hindrances to effective economic or financial communication. The study concluded that improved programming, like introduction of edutainment also known as financial education through drama by ZNBC could interest its audience in economic or financial education programmes, which would ultimately assist them access financial products to improve their livelihood. Recruitment of communicators who were trained economists was also recommended as a way to improve economic or financial coverage by the national broadcaster.

▼ Social media sources such as Twitter represent a massively distributed social sensor over diverse topics ranging from social and political events to entertainment and sports news. However, due to the overwhelming volume of content, it can be difﬁcult to identify novel and signiﬁcant content within a broad topic in a timely fashion. To this end, this thesis proposes a scalable and practical method to automatically construct social sensors for generic topics. The concept of using social media as a sensor for detection of events and news has been proposed in the literature. However, we argue that most of these works do not focus on targeted content detection or they use very basic methods for collecting the topical data for further analysis. This demonstrates a gap in the use of social media as a sensor for high-quality topical content detection that we aim to address via machine learning. In this thesis, given minimal supervised training content from a user, we learn to identify topical tweets from millions of features capturing content, user and social interactions on Twitter. On a corpus of over 800 million English Tweets collected from the Twitter streaming API during 2013 and 2014 and learning for 10 diverse topics, we empirically show that our learned social sensor automatically generalizes to unseen future content with high ranking and precision scores. Furthermore, we provide an extensive analysis of features and feature types across different topics that reveals, for example, that (1) largely independent of topic, simple terms are the most informative feature followed by location features and that (2) the number of unique hashtags and tweets by a user correlates more with their informativeness than their follower or friend count. In summary, this work provides a novel, effective, and efﬁcient way to learn topical social sensors requiring minimal user curation effort and offering strong generalization performance for identifying future topical content.

▼ Under the impact of quickly changing social structure and emergence of new technology, the old way of storing data tapes in the vault is no longer efficient in the eyes of most people. Instead, organizations have started sourcing different ways to manage their media assets that are more efficient and less expensive. While literature and theories can fully explain the concept and process of Digital Media Asset Management (DMAM) from various perspectives, there are few case studies examining academic concepts from a practical perspective. In addition, as many of the concepts and theories are developed by Western companies, the management literature is already replete with cases of how Western companies manage their teams in implementing DMAM, yet there is a smattering of literature discussing DMAM from an Asian context. Thus, the study will first look at the structure of DMAM from a Chinese perspective, and then explore the role culture contributes in the implementation of new systems. While this research is a case study, it adopted ethnography’s principal for data collection. The researcher believed by adopting ethnography’s principle for data collection, it would gear the research to be more relevant to research aims. Nine participants holding different job positions at Beijing Television Station (BTV) were selected to participate in an unstructured interview. During the interview, each participant talked about media asset management from the perspective of the job position they held at that time. This method enhanced the quality of the research as the problems and strategies that BTV had encountered is from various viewpoints. However, as employees directly involved in the planning of DMAM failed to participate in the research, it might place some limitations on the research simply because the management team’s opinions were not taken into account. After analysing the results obtained from the participants, the researcher found that there were several motives for BTV to acquire DMAM, including; to ensure BTV has the copyright of the material created by its staff (e.g. director, editor); to decrease the cost of storage material; to increase efficiency in production workflow; and to enable BTV to re-purpose its media assets in order to maximize profit. Since the implementation of DMAM at BTV, many staff have had difficulty using the new system. Their troubles include lack of training and technical support team personnel available for trouble shooting, lack of a consolidated format for its media assets, time-consuming systems impairing productivity, and high maintenance costs. Despite these problems ensuing from BTV’s implementation of DMAM, they seemed to have resulted from such factors as lack of communication within BTV, Chinese national cultural characteristic, and BTV’s organisational structure. Finally, it is hoped that in this research could provide insights of the management of digital assets in a communist state-owned TV station. However, as the selected research participants took no part in the planning and… Advisors/Committee Members: Wellington, Robert (advisor).

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and oil spill remediation (OSR) in porous media both share a common theme in that they can both be modeled as a system comprising of two immiscible liquid phases and a solid porous phase. EOR seeks to improve the recovery of crude oil from existing oil reserves, while OSR improves ecological sustainability. In this thesis two novel techniques with the potential of improving the recovery of non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) that is trapped in a water filled random porous media. In the first project, an oil-soluble surfactant was studied to enhance crude oil mobilization in a cryolite-packed miniature bed. The cryolite packed bed provided a transparent, random porous medium for observation at the microscopic level. In the first part of the project, oil-soluble surfactants; Span 80 and Eni-surfactant (ES) were dissolved directly into the crude oil. The porous medium was imbued with the crude oil (containing the surfactants), and deionized water was the flooding phase, in this experiment, the system containing ES had the best performance. Subsequently, Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS), a hydrosoluble surfactant was used to solubilize the ES, with the SDS acting as a carrier for the ES to the contaminated porous media. Finally, the SDS/Eni-Surfactant micellar solutions were used in oil-removal tests on the packed bed. Grayscale image analysis was used to quantify the oil recovery effectiveness for the flooding experiments by measuring the white pixel percentage in the packed bed images. The SDS/ES flooding mixture had a better performance than the SDS alone. Furthermore, a model liquid hydrocarbon (n-hexadecane) was used to gain insight on the mobilization of non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) trapped in porous formations, important for both EOR and oil spill remediation in porous media. Food-grade surfactants lecithin from soy and tween 80 were compared to commercial dispersant Corexit 9500A, for their ability to mobilize the hydrocarbon originally trapped in a water-filled cryolite porous medium. Red dye was added to the n-Hexadecane to improve visualization, and the aqueous phase incorporated different ratios of the surfactants Lecithin and Tween 80 to seek synergistic benefits when the two surfactants are combined. Visual-microscopic flooding experiments carried on a miniature packed bed produced images which were then analyzed using grayscale image analysis. It was determined that a ratio 40:60 by weight of Lecithin to Tween 80 has the best performance in the mobilization of n-hexadecane from the porous media. Furthermore, any (non-optimal) mixture of lecithin and tween 80 exhibited a better (synergistic) performance in n-Hexadecane recovery from the porous media than when applying either surfactant separately. Finally, applying the video-microcapillary technique utilized in the first two projects, but with a slight modification, the effect of temperature change on a highly viscous oil phase flowing through a water-filled porous media was studied. The glass microcapillary…

▼ The most interesting and technologically important problems in the study of flow through porous media involve very high pressures and pressure gradients in the flow do- main such as enhanced oil recovery and carbon dioxide sequestration. The popular Darcy or Brinkman models do not take into account the changes in the fluid properties (like viscosity) due to high pressures and temperatures, or the deformation of the solid itself as the fluid flows through it. We focus on the pressure dependence of viscosity and show that its significance in these problems cannot be neglected. Mixture theory is employed as the tool to develop models for this task. The popular models due to Darcy and Brinkman (and their generalizations) are derived using a general thermodynamic framework which appeals to the criterion of maximal rate of entropy production. Such a thermodynamic approach has been used with great success to describe various classes of material response and here we demonstrate its use within the context of mixture theory. One such generalization of the Brinkman model takes into account the variation of the viscosity and the drag coefficient with the pressure and is used in the problems studied subsequently. We then consider the steady flow of a fluid through a porous slab, driven by a large pressure gradient, and show that the traditional approach that ignores the variation of the viscosity and drag with the pressure greatly over-predicts the mass flux taking place through the porous structure. While incorporating the pressure dependence of viscosity and drag leads to a ceiling flux, the traditional approaches lead to a continued increase in the flux with the pressure difference. The effect of inhomogeneities and anisotropy of the porous medium is investigated by modifying the previous problem to prescribe the drag coefficient as a piecewise constant, positive definite second order tensor. Finally, we allow for the possibility that the flow is unsteady, the viscosity and drag are dependent on the pressure and consider the flow of a fluid due to a pulsatile forcing pressure at one end of a rigid, homogenoues, isotropic solid while the other end is open to the atmosphere. In contrast to certain non-Newtonian fluids where the volumetric flux is enhanced by pulsating the pressure gradient about a non-zero mean value, we find that pulsations in the pressure diminish the volumetric flux in case of the flow through a porous medium when the fluid viscosity is considered to be pressure dependent.

▼ The work developed here was initially made to provide a comprehensive model for the modified Loschmidt cell, but the project evolved to derive a more robust transient composite domain diffusion (TCDD) model. The original work created a symmetrical TCDD model in cartesian coordinates. But the project grew to create a TCDD model for: any geometry, symmetric / non-symmetric and for any homogenous exterior boundary condition. The expansion of the work allows for this TCDD model to apply to more applications. Since, many complex experiments resort to quasi-steady state models to perform their analysis, when a more accurate TCDD model would be better suited. For instance, the need for a more accurate model for the modified Loschmidt cell was shown in [1], where the quasi-steady state model currently used to extract the effective diffusion coefficient had errors potentially as high as 100%. Whereas, the model developed here does not employ any assumptions regarding their experiment, and thus would yield better results. The model developed utilized Vodicka’s Orthogonality to resolve the inhomogeneous boundary conditions applied to the interior boundaries of the composite domain. The model was validated experimentally, by adapting a known radial diffusion experiment to become a composite domain diffusion experiment. The experiment, created by Kim [2], was adapted by performing it on an annulus disk and retrieving the effective diffusivity using the TCDD model and comparing those results to the solid disk’s. From this experiment it was statistically shown that the two models retrieved the same values, thus validating the TCDD model. Also, this thesis analyzed which solver was best to conduct parameter estimation on the model, by creating artificial data of a modified Loschmidt cell and fitting the known effective diffusivity that produced the concentration profile. It was discovered that in simple geometries, derivative based solvers work best. However, as the modified Loschmidt cell reached 8 different domains of diffusion, a brute force tactic was considerably more accurate. Therefore, since this model developed is equipped to replace the erroneous quasi-steady state model of the modified Loschmidt cell, it should be employed to perform its parameter estimation.

▼ Abstract of Defamiliarizing the Cart: Art as Interventionist Practice in the Age of Cyberdelic Consumerism, by Martim S. Galvão, Degree A.M., Brown University, May 2017. This paper is a collection of research and practice related to artistic interventions in capitalist society, with a focus on current modes of digital consumerism their relationship to altered states of mind. The project traces the history of the advertising industry and its ties to the production and distribution of cultural media. The development of new mediums such as radio, TV, and the internet throughout the 20th century guides a conversation about the restructuring of time through technology, specifically how it has become compartmentalized into ever finer slices. The paper then delves into the 1990s, during which time the introduction of the internet created an attention economy by disrupting the time-based scheduling of mass media advertising. Faced with an ever-present now, advertisers developed new tools for reaching temporally destabilized consumers. The rise of social media made it easier to track and model consumer behavior, with platforms like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter further disturbing the notion of privacy by creating walled-off web environments where data collection is mandatory. Algorithms are then used to convert this data into a multitude of virtual selves, each modeling our behavior for some specific purpose. In the second part of the paper, a parallel history of artistic resistance to the commodification of culture weaves its way through the photomontages of John Heartfield in the 1930s, to Guy Debord and the Situationist International movement in the 1950s and 1960, to the culture jamming movement of the 1980s and 1990s, and finally to the current landscape of interventionist artists engaging with virtual spaces, hidden structures of power, and the pervasive digital consumerism of the 21st century. The complex relationship between critique and financial survival in capitalist society is also addressed. Finally, the paper closes with an overview of my own work as it relates to this lineage of experimental artmaking and cultural critique. Three recent pieces, including my thesis project AD2CART (2017), are discussed in terms of compositional process, theatrical and performative considerations, critical discourse, and the role of technology in my work. A short conclusion calls for new methods for artistic intervention and the defamiliarization of our interactions with giant corporate platforms.

▼ Motivated by questions posed to the new media artist, concerning the difficulties with coming up with an innovative artistic style in interactive media performance, this dissertation takes as a departure point a self-created multimedia work for a dancer, 5.1 surround sound, and 3-channel HD interactive projection. The work uses a custom-built wireless gestural interface to translate kinetic energy from the performer, into real-time multichannel synthetic sound and real- time OpenGL graphics. Throughout my preliminary research I became very much aware of the importance of influence on not only creative endeavors in general, but also the influential nature of the ever-evolving technologies available. This paper attempts, firstly, to place the new work in the context of these available technologies, within a sociological context for the contemporary artist, and secondly, to analyze how personal artistic style and voice can be transposed through so many different converging elements, all the while, encompassing design, technological enhancements & spontaneous performance. The over-arching thesis was to observe the journey of self-discovery of creating the piece, to discover how it fits in with the history of interactive media and new media art today. In its entirety, the paper follows a dual purpose. Firstly, it attempts to formalize a perception of the self in this century, via the convergence of mind and body, through its relationship to software and hardware. Any deduced conclusions are then pitted against an analysis of the work itself. In conclusion, it is useful to re-evaluate the juxtaposition of disparate media paradigms, as reconciled by the human body, to create a new way of thinking about the marriage between the moving digital image and digital sound in the context of time - as instigated by the translation of kinetic movement.

▼ This thesis presents an examination of the use of anonymous news sources by The Ethiopian Herald (a government daily) and Fortune (a private weekly) newspapers that are in current circulation nationwide. A triangulation of quantitative and qualitative research methods was used to gather the extent and reasons for the application of such sources in their news dispatches. Via quantitative content analysis, the study has procured the frequencies and kinds of anonymous sourcing incorporated by the newspapers. Via the qualitative (individual in-depth discussions with the concerned media practitioners), the study has collected detailed elaborations upon their stands of why, where, and how the news organs operate during the course of news gathering, writing, and printing. The news editions were systematically sampled; and the interviewees purposively. The data from both newspapers and the interviewees were then thematically analyzed. Moreover, although not with a thoroughly critical scrutiny of the agenda setting theory, the media’s role in setting public agenda whilst quoting anonymous tippers is an interspersed framework featured in this research. As well the working legal-cum-ethic grounds under which the aforementioned media organs function is due attended and reflected through the source protection paradigm. The findings in general indicate that there is a significant difference between the uses of news sources by the two media houses in question. Fortune has made a much greater use of anonymous news sourcing exhibiting plentiful and frequent anonymous sourcing than its counterpart in this research. Fortune’s basic rationales turned out to be that relatively the Ethiopian society has an inexplicable reluctance to go on-record at large, apart from fear of retribution. The Ethiopian Herald staff maintains that in-depth and analytical investigative reporting not only takes much more time and researching than what this daily broadsheet is basically designed for, but also would be at odds with the main concern of the newspaper. The Federal Constitution, the press proclamations, and the editorial policies of the two newspapers (i.e., the press statutes and policies regulating news sourcing means) are largely braced by provisions for press freedom; nonetheless they are not sufficiently elaborated. Further, the news and all other media are decreed to enjoy the state press provisions which are, however, followed by intricate verbose of contending enactments that put indirect restrictions on them.

▼ The study has attempted to unearth the challenges and prospects of institutionalizing a media self-regulatory body in Ethiopia. media in-house code of conduct is also a subset of this study. In addition, the study discusses how media self-regulation is strongly attached to freedom of expression. As outlined in chapter two of the study various literatures and the experiences of some countries were taken as a bench mark and nucleus of discussion. The study employed both qualitative, individual in-depth interview and document analysis, and quantitative, structured questionnaires, research methods. Data were thematically analyzed based on related literature reviews, in-depth interviews and findings from questionnaires. Journalism is a profession that highly demands freedom of expression. Freedom to seek, receive and impart information are the backbones or the cornerstones for every single activities of the profession. Freedom of expression is clearly stipulated in the constitution of FDRE and subsequent press proclamations. The outcome of the study illustrates that, there are inhibiting factors which strangled the establishment of an independent and inclusive media self-regulatory body in Ethiopia. The polarization of the government and the private press, the existence of weak and fragile journalists’ associations, the disagreement among the private press, financial deficiency and little awareness about media self-regulation has made the establishment of a media self- regulatory body in Ethiopia very remote. The findings of the study also indicate that in-house codes of conduct do exist in many media organizations, but they are not put into practice and neither there is an enforcing mechanism. As individual in-depth interviews revealed in-house regulation of media houses is very poor and the codes do remain only on paper. Still codes of conducts are violated and even do not referred while producing any form of journalistic outputs. Advisors/Committee Members: SOLOMON TABOR (advisor).

▼ The principal aim of this study was to investigate how the Arab uprising was covered by the selected newspapers. With the aim of examining the coverage, framing theory and political economy of the mass media were employed as the theoretical frameworks of the study. By taking a three month data, the study was conducted on three newspapers namely, Addis Zemen, the Amharic Reporter and Fetehe. Quantitative content analysis, Qualitative content (textual analysis) analysis and in-depth interview were the techniques used. While the quantitative content analysis and the qualitative content analysis were applied to identify the frames and provide supporting excerpts for the frames respectively, in-depth interview was employed to back the results found from the two methods. The study revealed that the conflict frame was predominantly used by the papers, Addis Zemen and Amharic Reporter. The next frame was the contingency frame which stands as the dominant frame of Fetehe. The use of the contingency frame varied between the private and government owned papers. While the two private papers claimed that there were causes that could have made Arab like uprising possible in Ethiopia, Addis Zemen argued that Ethiopia is free from the problems of the Arab uprising. Following contingency frame, the turn was for human interest frame where the newspapers largely entertained the personal behaviour of Muammar Gaddafi. In their Prognostic frame, Addis Zemen and Fetehe expressed pessimistic and optimistic view about the consequences of the Arab uprising respectively while Amharic Reporter presented both. Attribution of responsibility was found in Fetehe and Amharic Reporter but not in Addis Zemen. Finally, the least used frame happened to be diagnostic frame where differences and similarities were observed among the papers in conceptualizing the causes of the Arab uprising. What is more, it was found out that the coverage of Addis Zemen and Fetehe was tilted towards owner interest than the real depiction of the issue. Amharic Reporter tried to give a fair coverage. Based on the finding, some recommendations were forwarded to mitigate the limitations. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Abdissa Zerai (advisor).

▼ This study examined the representation of China’s human rights and sustainability record in the mainstream South African media. It also explored the factors that influence both South African and Chinese journalists and its potential effects on their coverage of China’s sustainable development and human rights impact. Through its “Going Out” policy, China has re-established a close affiliation with African countries.. South Africa is significant to this growing China-Africa relationship, as a fellow member of the BRICS group of emerging nations. Through its soft power strategy, whether as a “charm offensive” (Kurlantzick, 2008), or “charm defensive” (Shi, 2013), China has expanded its media reach in Africa through platforms such as Xinhua, China Central Television (CCTV) and People’s Daily to provide counter stereotypical images of being “a mysterious, exotic and unknowable force” (Wasserman, 2012). Dominant media discourses have represented China as lacking concern for good governance, transparency, freedom of the press, worker’s rights, human rights, and environmental protection in its relationship with Africa (Sautman & Hairong, 2009; French, 2014). China has been criticised for exporting its environmental destruction and human rights violations to the African continent. These negative perceptions among global media and key roleplayers could harm China’s strategies to harness its soft power on the African continent. This study explored to what extent these perceptions are manifested in media coverage, and what factors influenced this coverage. Through a qualitative framing analysis, this study examined how China’s sustainable development and human rights record is depicted in South African media. The framing analysis explored three individually-owned South African media publications: the weekly investigative paper Mail & Guardian, the Cape Times daily and the online news site News 24, to determine South African media representation of China. The study found five dominant frames in South African media’s coverage of China’s sustainable development record. China as key perpetrator in poaching; China vs the USA as a superpower; China’s role in the struggle against climate change; China as a source of green technologies, renewable energy and green investment; and China as a polluted country itself. Regarding South African media’s coverage of China’s human rights record, three dominant themes have emerged: Cheap Chinese products replacing job opportunities in Africa, China’s general poor record of human rights and cheap Chinese labour in African countries. Additionally five dominant frames were found in Chinese media coverage of China’s sustainable development: China’s climate leadership, China-US collaboration, repercussion for environmental violations, China’s green technology and innovation, pollution in China, and Chinese environmental aid. Regarding human rights, only three dominant frames were found: Chinese jobs empower African communities, improved labour conditions and official human rights engagements.… Advisors/Committee Members: Wasserman, Hermanus (advisor).

▼ This work analyses the depiction of coloured women on trial for murder in South Africa’s Western Cape tabloids, the Daily Voice and Son. It argues that these depictions preserve conservative race, class, and gender norms. The coverage of the murder trials of Najwa Petersen, Ellen Pakkies, Zulfa Jacobs, and Chantel Booysen constructs a notion of illegitimate femininity that is rooted in apartheid and colonial discourse on coloured femininity. The ideologies present in this coverage indicate how themes of sexuality; motherhood; victimhood and trauma; class and community; and religion expel the threat female offenders pose to traditional performances of identity. This work is motivated by the shortage of local research on the depiction of female offenders. While international research have developed useful typologies for how female offenders are represented, and have shown how these depictions are sites for the communication of gender expectations, an acknowledgement of the diversity of women’s experiences necessitates a focus on how local discourses of race, class, and gender further inﬂuence these representations. Moreover, this work is motivated by the opportunity to offer an indication of how tabloid content works ideologically. By focusing on the depiction of women on trial for murder, this work offers a snapshot of the discourses on race, gender, and class that circulate in the publics created by these titles. The construction of deviant femininity, and its intersection with 'colouredness’ and a working-class identity, is the means through which the status quo is communicated. This work relies on a Foucauldian frame to privilege the power of discourse to construct identity, and the work of Judith Butler to consider how identity is produced and performed under constraint. In line with this focus on language, and due to a specific consideration of the Cape Flats vernacular, this work employs critical discourse analysis to analyse a purposive sample of the coverage of Petersen, Pakkies, Jacobs, and Booysen’s murder trials. Interviews conducted with journalists who have authored these tabloid accounts, and focus groups with tabloid readers who hail from the Cape Flats supplement this analysis. The results of this triangulation indicate the complex interaction between discourses in subduing the threat female offenders pose to normative identities. It also indicates the potential for tabloid newspapers to cement hegemonic and essentialised notions of racialised gender identities, despite South Africa’s post-apartheid context. Tabloids’ recognition of marginalised subjects does not automatically signify democratic transformation, partly because such subjects are represented by corporate monopolies who rely on cultural translators to communicate fixed ways of being. If media are to transform, they need to break from the apartheid era's subjugating and pathologising discourses. This work demonstrates that an interrogation of race, class, and gender politics is crucial for analysing South African tabloids’… Advisors/Committee Members: Haupt, Adam (advisor), Bosch, Tanja E (advisor).

▼ Digital and electronic learning portfolios (e-portfolios) are playing a growing role in supporting admission to tertiary study and employment by visual creatives. Despite the growing importance of digital portfolios, we know very little about how professionals or students use theirs. This thesis contributes to knowledge by describing how South African high school students curated varied e-portfolio styles while developing disciplinary personas as visual artists. The study documents the technological and material inequalities between these students at two schools in Cape Town. By contrast to many celebratory accounts of contemporary new media literacies, it provides cautionary case studies of how young people’s privileged or marginalized circumstances shape their digital portfolios as well. A four-year longitudinal action research project (2009-2013) enabled the recording and analysis of students’ development as visual artists via e-portfolios at an independent (2009-2012) and a government school (2012-2013). Each school represented one of the two types of secondary schooling recognised by the South African government. All student e-portfolios were analysed along with producers’ dissimilar contexts. Teachers often promoted highbrow cultural norms entrenched by white, English medium schooling. The predominance of such norms could disadvantage socially marginalized youths and those developing repertoires in creative industry, crafts or fan art. Furthermore, major technological inequalities caused further exclusion. Differences in connectivity and infrastructure between the two research sites and individuals’ home environments were apparent. While the project supported the development of new literacies, the intervention nonetheless inadvertently reproduced the symbolic advantages of privileged youths. Important distinctions existed between participants’ use of media technologies. Resourceintensive communications proved gatekeepers to under-resourced students and stopped them fully articulating their abilities in their e-portfolios. Non-connected students had the most limited exposure to developing a digital hexis while remediating artworks, presenting personas and benefiting from online affinity spaces. By contrast, well-connected students created comprehensive showcases curating links to their productions in varied affinity groups. Male teens from affluent homes were better positioned to negotiate their classroom identities, as well as their entrepreneurial and other personas. Cultural capital acquired in their homes, such as media production skills, needed to resonate with the broader ethos of the school in its class and cultural dimensions. By contrast, certain creative industry, fan art and craft productions seemed precluded by assimilationist assumptions. At the same time, young women grappled with the risks and benefits of online visibility. An important side effect of validating media produced outside school is that privileged teens may amplify their symbolic advantages by easily adding distinctive personas.… Advisors/Committee Members: Walton, Marion (advisor), Cronje, Johannes (advisor).

Extant research has demonstrated that the media are rarely able to tell audience members what to think, but are remarkably successful in telling audiences what to think about; this is known as an agenda-setting effect (McCombs & Shaw, 1972). However, little research has examined whether such effects occur when audiences are exposed to news within daily email newsletters- emailed news bulletins sent by aggregator news media featuring important stories of the day. A 2 (topic) x 2 (placement) x 3 (message) mixed online experiment was conducted to examine whether topic and placement of articles within daily email newsletters produced agenda-setting effects over a period of three days. News topic was manipulated as being either health or education content, and placement of articles was manipulated as being the first or last article presented in the newsletter. News topic and placement served as between subjects factors. Participants (N = 108) were randomly assigned to one of four conditions. Participants read one newsletter everyday over the course of three days; thus message repetition was a within subjects factor. Results showed that participants in the health condition exhibited stronger agenda-setting effects relative to participants in the education condition. This difference was stronger when placement of the news story was presented first, indicating prominence as a cue of salience within the newsletters. However, placement of topic was non-significant across both topics, as the cue of placement specifically produced conflicting results within the education condition. The results from this study contribute to the growing body of agenda setting research within the digital news era.

▼ Political narratives have entertained human beings since times immemorial. The political narratives in the form of drama, novel, ballads, and contemporary televisual and filmic stories revolved around various characters that served as role models. Citizens tended to identify with good, morally ambiguous, and sometimes bad characters depending on the context and a host of personal motives, which subsequently determined the enjoyment of the entertainment narratives and absorption into the storyline. Storylines and characters in political entertainment has also been a great source of enjoyable entertainment for the audience. However, female lead characters in political roles were marginalized and frequently represented in conventional roles that were uninspiring and cultivated negative sentiments about females in various leadership roles. In the past few decades, the representation of female lead characters has considerably changed due to the entry of several notable female politicians in the corridors of power across the globe. Since females are visible in different leadership roles, they are attracting attention of the news and entertainment media and their increased visibility is positively influencing attitudes of female and male citizens toward feminine role models. This dissertation focused on the portrayal of female politicians in semifictional and fictional political narratives and explored if enjoyment, character identification, and narrative transportation influenced the attitudes of the audiences toward female protagonists in political entertainment. As political entertainment became a dominant pattern to involve uninterested voters in democratic processes, entertainment psychology research paid attention to the dual process model of entertainment, and several scholars investigated the "serious" nature of enjoyment experience associated with the consumption of political narratives. Several other studies reported that audiences identified with positive political role models featured as the protagonists in "meaningful" semifictional or fictional narratives. Audience were likely to enjoy such narratives by transporting them into the storyline that reduced critical evaluation of the narratives and subsequently influenced their attitudes and beliefs. By designing and conducting two studies to explore the serious nature of political entertainment, this dissertation empirically tested the relationship between exposure to semifictional and fictional narrative and audiences' attitudes toward female protagonists playing the role of a politician, which was not adequately addressed in extant research. Study one served as a pilot study that tested the causal associations between exposure to semifictional biographical political movies and attitude of the audiences toward female politicians, followed by an exploration of the mediating role of a few variables such as enjoyment and narrative transportation. Study two, on the other hand, scrutinized similar relationships between exposure to fictional political drama and… Advisors/Committee Members: Arthur A.

There has been growing discussion that distinguishes meaningful media entertainment, eudaimonic media experiences, and self-transcendent positive emotions from pleasurable media entertainment, hedonic media experiences, and non-transcendent positively-valenced emotions. The mood management theory and selective exposure perspective explain how individuals tend to select media to consume when they are in a particular mood state in order to achieve a better mood or maintain their existing desirable mood state. These perspectives do not specifically capture the self-transcendent emotional states or meaningful media entertainment. However, they provided imperative theoretical foundation to examine these phenomena. This dissertation project examines and compares the entertainment media selection between meaningful and funny video content when a positive affective state, hedonic joyful mood or elevation is experienced. It also examines these two positive affects experienced after consuming chosen media content, and how they may affect prosociality. Specifically, it explores if individuals in the affective state of elevation will be more likely to choose elevation-inducing videos to view comparing to individuals in the affective state of hedonic joy, in order to maintain their existing self-transcendent good mood. Further, it investigates whether elevation-inducing meaningful video exposure, comparing to joy-inducing funny video exposure, would lead to greater likelihood of helping a stranger despite a controllable cause of the help-seeker’s plight. The results showed that the affective experience of elevation led to continued exposure to the meaningful media after initial exposure to elevation-inducing content and more meaningful media exposure in general (than the mood state of hedonic joy). This congruency in mood state and selective exposure behavior mirrors the good mood maintenance proposition of the mood management theory. Moreover, more meaningful video exposure led to higher levels of elevation, which in turn led to higher likelihood of agreeing to help a stranger in need. As speculated, elevation had a stronger and more stable relationship with prosociality than hedonic joy did. The findings also supported the positive relationship between need for affect and elevation elicited by meaningful media content. The role of content types, entertainment preferences, individual differences in predispositional altruistic personality, and need for affect in the production of selective exposure behavior and helping are also discussed.
