Abstract

This master dissertation examines the representations of Greta Thunberg in the British Press. Using Jeffries' Critical Stylistics tools, this study aims at revealing the sexist discourses prevalent in the left- and right-wing media. The research focuses on articles published around the time of Greta Thunberg's speech at the UN, on the 23rd September 2019, as it corresponds to a period during which Thunberg received considerable attention. The dissetrtation will strive to find answers to the following question: 
•What are some of the main representations of Greta Thunberg in the British right-wing and left-wing newspapers? 
•How are these discourses inflected by gender?
•Can sexist instances be found, and how do they intertwine with the representations of Greta Thunberg?
•Do the representations of Greta Thunberg differ between the right-wing and the left-wing newspapers?

Abstract

In answer to the economic crisis, to the scandals and to the frauds, the risk of reputation has emerged (Trotta, Iannuzzi, & Pacelli, 2016). Moreover, the increased power given to regulators (Van Erp, 2013) to disclose penalties including the names of offenders amplified the risk. The media representation of these penalties can seriously damage the reputation of financial institutions concerned.
In this context, we study the quantitative impact of the publication of sanctions by UK and French regulators and the qualitative impact of the first media representation of penalties on the reputational risk of UK financial institutions. 
The sample for the publication of sanctions by the UK regulator is formed on the basis of the year 2013 whereas the sample for the publication of sanctions by the French regulator is formed on the basis of the period from December 2006 to July 2017. The results show an insignificant impact of the publication of sanctions on the abnormal returns. Therefore, the risk of reputation is low. However, we note that the coefficient of determination was diverging. This calls into question the use of good market indexes in the literature. 
Regarding the first media representation, we analyse in-depth three press articles appeared before the settlement date of sanctions and we find that the press has chosen to cover financial scandals. The content of these articles reflected an opposition to the regulation (“anti-regulation”). The choice and the content of the press limit the impact on the reputation because it tells the facts like structural problems.

Abstract

In the past few years, U.S. politics have been at the forefront of many international newspapers. With the election of Donald Trump as president in 2016 to the one of Joe Biden in 2020, American politics have remained a widely discussed topic, even in other countries. However, when looking at the list of people who have been representing the country politically, it is noticeable that the great majority of them have been men. Although, over the past few decades, more women have been elected to political offices, most of these positions, especially the major ones, remain occupied by male politicians. As the media play such a big role in elections by informing the public on political candidates and their campaigns, it is important to look at the news coverage that female candidates receive, in comparison to one received by their male counterparts.

Abstract

The British royal family has experienced a resurgence in public interest at the same time as global inequalities have expanded between 'the elites' and 'the rest'. Yet, the monarchy is absent from conversations about inequality. This is the only book arguing that we cannot talk about inequalities in Britain today without talking about the monarchy.

Abstract

Migration ist eine der zentralen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit. Sie ist allgegenwärtig in medialen Repräsentationen, mithilfe derer gesellschaftliche Diskussion emotionalisiert, plausibilisiert oder moderiert wird - sei es in Kinofilmen, Romanen, Talkshows, Kunstaktionen oder Tageszeitungen. Der Band stellt mediale Potenziale auf den Prüfstand: Welche Deutungsangebote werden lanciert, welche Narrationen, politischen Maßnahmen und Emotionspolitiken werden hergestellt, unterstützt oder entkräftet? Über die Analyse der Rückkopplungen zwischen realen Problemlagen und medialen Deutungen helfen die Beiträge, aktuelle kulturelle Aushandlungsprozesse besser zu verstehen.

Abstract

The relationship between economy, finance, and society has become opaque. Quantum leaps in complexity and scale have turned this deeply interdependent web of relations into an area of incomprehensible abstraction. And while the economization of life has come under widespread critique, inquiry into the political potential of representational praxis is more crucial than ever. This volume explores ethical, aesthetic, and ideological dimensions of economic representation, addressing essential questions: What are the roles of mass and new media? How do the arts contribute to critical discourse on the global techno-economic complex? Collectively, the contributions bring theoretical debate and artistic intervention into a rich exchange that includes but also exceeds the conventions of academic scholarship.

Abstract

Baseball has long been viewed as the Great American Pastime, so it is no surprise that the sport has inspired many Hollywood films and television series. But how do these works depict the game, its players, fans, and place in American society? This study offers an extensive look at nearly one hundred years of baseball-themed movies, documentaries, and TV shows. Film and sports scholar Aaron Baker examines works like A League of their Own (1992) and Sugar (2008), which dramatize the underrepresented contributions of female and immigrant players, alongside classic baseball movies like The Natural that are full of nostalgia for a time when native-born white men could use the game to achieve the American dream. He further explores how biopics have both mythologized and demystified such legendary figures as Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jackie Robinson and Fernando Valenzuela. The Baseball Film charts the variety of ways that Hollywood presents the game as integral to American life, whether showing little league as a site of parent-child bonding or depicting fans’ lifelong love affairs with their home teams. Covering everything from Bull Durham (1988) to The Bad News Bears (1976), this book offers an essential look at one of the most cinematic of all sports.

Abstract

As modern science and critical scholarship are beginning to recognize nonhuman animals as fellow subjects and conscious, sentient beings with interests and deserving of respect, moral dilemmas abound as humanity acknowledges the threats our activities pose to human and nonhuman animal life, including the sixth mass extinction, anthropogenic climate change, and widespread exploitation. In this 2022 Special Issue of the Journalism and Media journal, communication professors Carrie Freeman and Núria Almiron curated scholarship assessing the impact this environmental havoc is having on nonhuman animals living in nature (including those free-roaming animals who coexist in our urban spaces) and the vital role that media and communication play in contributing to and remedying these crises. Seven scholars across the USA and Spain contributed chapters exploring how issues affecting “wildlife” (such as octopuses, sharks, coyotes, parakeets, and fishes) are constructed in media and political discourses or are perceived and acted upon by public media, and the authors provide prescriptions to problems facing animals in nature, offering constructive guidance to communicators (from activists to journalists to film-makers).
