Ariss, Michelle. "The rise and demise of a book-review magazine interpreting the cultural work of Books in Canada (1971-2008)." Thèse, Université de Sherbrooke, 2011. http://savoirs.usherbrooke.ca/handle/11143/2841.
Full textAbstract:
This interdisciplinary study examines the contribution that a book-review magazine makes to the cultural identity of its readers. It is the result of reflections on the cultural work of Books in Canada , on whether or not this periodical was a cultural worksite and if that is the case how it performed that cultural work. In addition, it interrogates factors that may have contributed to the magazine's demise. The study affirms that Books in Canada, a cultural enterprise from 1971 to 2008, mirrored and helped to shape book and literary culture in Canada through its circulation, through the personalities of its editors, through its front covers and through its reviewers and their reviews. Furthermore, it proposes that the demise of the enterprise was due to a combination of factors. The study begins with an introduction to book reviewing and special-interest magazines. Chapter I examines the interplay between selected visual and textual contents published in Books in Canada in its founding years. These components reflected and helped to fuel the cultural nationalism that was sweeping Canada subsequent to the 1967 World's Fair in Montreal. There were also persistent rumours and comments about the magazine that caused certain"cracks in the foundation" to appear. Chapter II compares the aims and editorial challenges of Val Clery, founder of Books in Canada , with those of Adrien Thério, founder of Lettres québécoises, and of the editors of the magazines' twentieth-anniversary issues, Paul Stuewe in the case of the former and André Vanasse in the case of the latter. Evidence in the content of the magazine, editorial and otherwise, indicated that the"contracts" that the editors made with their readers over the years were similar, to reflect and shape a cultural identity, but the result of their"projects," that is, the nature of those identities, was distinctly different. Evidently then, personal aims, preferences and political leanings of editors can have a major impact on the content of a book-review magazine and thus on the cultural work that it does. Therefore, in Chapter III, I focus on selected contents published during the tenures of two of Books in Canada 's key editors, Paul Stuewe and Olga Stein, in order to understand ways that their choices constituted a form of cultural work. The second part of this chapter moves from an analysis of the cultural work of editors to an examination of the cultural work of reviewers. Here, through a close-reading of a selection of reviews published in Books in Canada, and in other periodicals, I argue that reviewers do cultural work in the way that they negotiate their presence in a review, and in how they signal that presence through lexical choices and through the degree of intellectual interaction that they invite. Intellectual interaction is at the core of Chapter IV.This chapter consists of close readings of some of the"billboards" of the enterprise, that is, the front covers of Books in Canada , in order to show how these important components do cultural work by requiring readers to make an intellectual leap from image to text. Chapter V suggests that book reviews, the company's"bills of goods," do cultural work in much the same way as the paratexts of a book. One of my own reviews is offered as a case-study along with a number of other reviews of how central components of a book-review magazine do cultural work through the illocutionary force of their sentences. The first part of Chapter VI, the final chapter, measures the legacy of the magazine, in particular, the annual Books in Canada First Novel Award. Created in 1976, this prize is awarded to the author of the novel judged by a Books in Canada prize committee to be the best first novel in English of the year. The second part of Chapter VI sheds light on factors that may have contributed to the closure of the enterprise, including the copyright uproar that accompanied the agreement that Adrian Stein, publisher of Books in Canada and Olga Stein's husband, made in 2001 with the online book merchant, Amazon.com. Furthermore, this penultimate section of the study suggests that one of the most important factors in the magazine's demise was the decision by the Steins to exploit their position as owners, publisher, and editor of a book-review periodical, a government-subsidized one at that, to publish their own lengthy pre-trial defense of Conrad Black. The chapter then zooms back from the particular to the general with a broader consideration of the impact of technology and globalization on the book industry and on the ability of Books in Canada to survive in any form, print or digital.

Os títulos selecionados compreendem cinco segmentos temáticos ligados ao universo do livro digital e são as publicações mensais com maior circulação no país em 2013. Os pro-cedimentos metodológicos adotados abrangeram as pesquisas bibliográfica e documental, bem com a análise de conteúdo. Através da leitura das 58 revistas que compuseram o corpus da pesquisa (a totalidade das publicações dos títulos em 2013), encontramos 34 textos que forneciam informações sobre os livros digitais. Após a análise quantitativa e qualitativa dos textos, apontamos os principais resultados: 1) É restrita a participação das revistas segmentadas na divulgação de informações a respeito dos livros digitais. 2) As revistas não estão preocupadas em educar/formar o leitor para a apropriação do livro digital. 3) O assunto livro digital não é merecedor de destaque nas revistas onde aparece. 4) Os textos apontam a reconfiguração dos papéis dos atores da cadeia do livro.The research has as a main purpose to verify how Brazilian magazines as Superinter-essante, piauí, Nova Escola, Info Exame e Você S/A describe e-books, considering its char-acteristic features and its values on the journalistic field. The methodological procedures used were bibliographic and documentary research as well as content analysis. We re-viewed 58 magazines that constitute the research corpus (the entire publications of 2013) and found 34 texts that contained information about e-books. After a quantitative and qual-itative analysis of these texts we point out five main results: 1) The targeted magazines influence on the release of information about e-books is restricted; 2) The magazines have no interest in educating/encouraging the reader on how to acquire an e-book; 3) The sub-ject “e-book” is not worthy of a highlighted piece in the journal where it’s exposed; 4) The texts underline a reconfiguration of the actor’s role in the book chain.

Full textAbstract:
This study analyzes The Horn Book Magazine editorials, published between 1924 and 2009, to ascertain the editors’ promotion of the library canon of children’s literature. The editorials concerned with Horn Book’s communities of readers are considered using Benedict Anderson’s critical lens of imagined communities; the review- and critically-themed editorials are examined using the theories of K. T. Horning, Deborah Stevenson, and Lillian H. Smith; the editorials related to the image of childhood are investigated utilizing the frameworks of childhood outlined by Andrew Stables; and the editorials involving social and political themes are explored using the critical assumptions of Gail Schmunk Murray. The analysis concludes, overall, that the Horn Book editors celebrate creators and promoters of canonical children’s literature; esteem high literary quality over popularity or pedagogical utility; view the image of childhood from a mostly Romantic perspective; and have shifted perspectives over time regarding comments about social and political events from a mostly neutral, non-committal stance to one of increasingly open views, especially with regard to censorship, multiculturalism, and current events.

De la configuration d’un territoire spécialisé à la médiation reconfigurante de la « revue-livre » vendue en librairie." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2022. http://www.theses.fr/2022SORUL143.
Full textAbstract:
À partir de l’analyse d’une appropriation médiatique, la thèse interroge les (re)configurations symboliques de la presse professionnelle en communication. Il s’agit de voir dans quelle mesure un format médiatique (la « revue-livre ») peut contribuer aux redéfinitions d’un monde professionnel, par le travail de ses frontières. Pour ce faire, la thèse avance que la revue, média disciplinaire, institue les pratiques d’un monde socio-professionnel donné, ce qui ouvre la discussion sur le statut et la fonction de ce territoire spécialisé. Instance de lisibilité et de visibilité, cet espace informationnel doit pourtant se légitimer en continu, à l’instar de l’interprofession qu’il représente. L’emprunt au format actuel de la revue, source de désirabilités médiatiques, constitue alors une tentative de dépassement de cet amas tensif. Il permet de miser sur un flou autant fonctionnel que professionnel. Il permet aussi, dans la perspective d’une analyse concurrentielle au cœur de l’étude, d’occuper ou de maintenir une place. Le support et le format deviennent des outils de valorisation, des compensateurs de reconnaissance, des moteurs de distinction. En cela, la thèse étudie un lieu de fixation, parmi d’autres, d’une prétention communicationnelle. Le couple savoir-pouvoir sera transversal à cet écrit, car l’échappée observée est une opération tactique de prise de pouvoir symbolique, tant en direction des marges de la profession qu’en son sein. La thèse s’intéresse en définitive à la construction de dispositifs intellectuels qui tentent de se constituer en représentants légitimes et dominants ; et qui à cette fin, redéfinissent en continu le professionnel et le communicationnelBased on the analysis of the appropriation of a media, this thesis questions the symbolic (re)configurations of professional magazines in communication. The objective is to analyze to what extent a media format (the “magazine-book”) contributes to the redefinition of a professional field by questioning its boundaries. To demonstrate that, the thesis asserts that the professional review institutes the practices of its socio-professional group, which opens the discussion on the status and function of this specialized territory. Agent of visibility, this informational space needs nonetheless to continuously legitimize itself. Using this current format of the review constitutes an attempt to overcome those tensions. It allows to leverage the vagueness of both this format function and communication professions. It also allows to establish and defend one’s positioning, as it is observed in the light of a competitive landscape analysis at the heart of the study. The support and the format become valorization tools, recognition substitutes and distinction drivers. From this perspective, this research studies an illustration, among others, of a communicational claim. The duet of knowledge and power will be transversal in this demonstration, because the observed escape is a tactical move to seize symbolic power, both in direction of the margins of the profession and its core. Ultimately, the focus of this thesis is to analyze the construction of intellectual devices, aiming at being legitimate and dominant representatives, by continuously redefining the professional and the communicational

"Strategies of sensation and the transformation of the Press, 1860-1880 : Mary Braddon, Florence Marryat and Ellen Wood, female author-editors, and the sensation phenomenon in mid-Victorian magazine publishing." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2008. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:30a509c7-2ba3-4477-9d3e-801f61e1b8c1.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the processes of writerly and editorial literary production undertaken by women sensation authors in the 1860s and 1870s. This focus represents a shift from the prevailing critical emphasis on the consumption of sensation fiction to the realm of production and therein allows the thesis to analyse the ways in which sensation operates as a set of rhetorical and linguistic strategies for women writers in the changing publishing conditions of mid-to-late Victorian society. I consider the ways in which sensation is an idiom that permeates all aspects of magazine publishing in this period and demonstrate how it could be adapted and become an empowering discourse for women writers and editors. Furthermore, this thesis sees sensation as an important component in the transformation of the press in the 1860s and 1870s. By analysing the specific ways in which sensational strategies were appropriated and transformed, this thesis reassesses the role of sensation in the creation of women’s writing in the second half of the nineteenth century, and consider its legacies in later ‘New Woman’ writers. I achieve this by examining three women editors, who were part of the transformation of magazine publishing in the period. Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835-1915), Ellen (Mrs. Henry) Wood (1814-1887), and Florence Marryat (1837-1899) all operated as writers and editors in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. They produced varying types of sensational fiction that they serialised in their own monthly magazines, Belgravia, Argosy, and London Society respectively. Sensation provided a dynamic and flexible means for these women author-editors to assert their status in the context of the expansion of the press in the 1860s and 1870s. I argue that their work invites a more fluid and generous critical definition of sensation.

Wheeler, Belinda. "EXPANSIVE MODERNISM: FEMALE EDITORS, LITTLE MAGAZINES, AND NEW BOOK HISTORIES." OpenSIUC, 2011. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/dissertations/411.
Full textAbstract:
The resurgence of modern periodical studies has expanded our understanding of “littleqrdquo; magazines and the editors behind them, but many studies continue to be restricted to the 1920s, examine male editors, and focus on well–established literary journals, rather than the subversive magazines that expanded the reign of modernism in the years from 1910 to 1950. These studies, though fascinating, privilege a select few and leave many lost to the archive. The new theory of book history and those who evaluate the book as a material object that is designed to circulate among a range of publics provide powerful and useful frameworks for recognizing the significance of what had previously been considered mere data. This study focuses on several neglected female little magazine editors who, despite various obstacles, powerfully intervened in the modernism debates throughout the 1910s through to the late 1940s by shaping successful publications to invite public appreciation of values they espoused. Unlike canonical modernist figures such as Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot who championed an elite style of modernism that was usually inaccessible to most, Lola Ridge, Gwendolyn Bennett, Caresse Crosby, and Kay Boyle encouraged diversity and fostered heterogeneity by selecting and juxtaposing material by new writers and artists who moved easily around and over the borders separating high art and mass culture, who recovered marginalized voices from history, and who appealed for social justice. Further, their traditional and non–traditional roles while they served as editors show that in many cases being an editor meant more than just choosing works and arranging them. One chapter is devoted to Lola Ridge, the American literary editor of Broom (1922-1923). Ridge was a cosmopolitan modernist who welcomed a broad audience to Broom and invited readers to champion styles of writing and artwork that contained strong social commentary with American subjects, instead of copying European models that many argued were created for art's sake. Another chapter focuses on African American poet, graphic artist and literary columnist, Gwendolyn Bennett, who held several editorial roles at Opportunity, Fire!!, and Black Opals, from the mid–1920s until the early 1930s. A heterodox modernist, Bennett skillfully discussed and placed artistic work by members of the New Negro movement next to the work by their forefathers, subsequently fostering congeniality between the two conflicting literary groups and promoting a united front during the development of the Harlem Renaissance. She also promoted co–operation between black and white artists and writers with her universally themed poetry, graphic art, and literary column. Chapter four centers on Black Sun Press book publisher, novelist, and poet, Caresse Crosby, owner and editor of Portfolio (1945-1948), who challenged artistic reception on both sides of the Atlantic by bringing glamorous modernism to her unbound journal of eclectic work. Crosby promoted co–operation between artists and writers from conflicting World War II countries through the placement and types of materials she published on the pages of her magazine. The epilogue calls for scholars to expand their view of the modernist project and recover the often “hidden” work by overlooked female little magazine editors. Like Ridge, Bennett, and Crosby before her, Kay Boyle (This Quarter 1927-1929), who can be linked to each editor (directly or indirectly), relied on her trusted network of friends as she edited This Quarter. Her editorial support for young and experienced artists who used innovative styles and her commitment to social justice parallels her colleagues' dedication to the modernist project. These women's labor, the significant literary time periods they worked in, the different genres, critical content, and styles of modernism they championed, and the social formations their journals produced expanded the base of modernism and reinvigorated American art and literature between the Wars, leaving a legacy for future artists and writers.

Nesta tese de doutorado, examino algumas produções culturais que me permitiram acompanhar processos ligados à produção dos conhecimentos escolares em Ciências/Química. Para tanto, examinei documentos oficiais de ensino brasileiros – os PCNs, alguns livros didáticos de Química e uma revista de divulgação científica – a Revista Superinteressante. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida sob inspiração dos Estudos Culturais, utilizando aportes teóricos de Stuart Hall, que busquei conectar ao pensamento de Michel Foucault e Thomas Popkewitz para realizar as análises discursivas procedidas. Tais análises permitiram indicar entrelaçamentos entre os enunciados que compõem os diferentes discursos colocados em circulação por tais produções e indicar que temas como saúde, meio ambiente, desenvolvimento tecnológico e consumo passaram a constituir a “pauta” tanto da revista examinada, quanto dos livros didáticos e dos PCNs, o que, de certo modo, legitima e escolariza esses temas, no caso estudado na área de Ciências/Química, na Educação Básica. A inserção de novos temas/conteúdos indica haver uma ruptura em relação ao que anteriormente era considerado como conteúdos escolares pertinentes ao ensino de Ciências/Química. No tratamento do tema saúde, por exemplo,os textos passaram a ocupar-se com a indicação de formas para viver mais e com mais saúde, com melhor aparência, com cuidados para a manutenção da agilidade e juventude, o que implica viver uma “democrática” ditadura de fazer escolhas responsáveis para os cuidados com o corpo, ou seja, nessas produções culturais o discurso do cuidado com a saúde encontra-se associado à vontade de mudanças de atitude dos sujeitos frente aos seus hábitos de vida. Em relação ao modo de focalizar o tema meio ambiente, os enunciados ressaltam a importância da incorporação de práticas cotidianas aos conteúdos escolares, sendo isso considerado requisito para o desenvolvimento da cidadania que, por sua vez, seria promovida na relação dos sujeitos com o meio ambiente.In this PHD thesis, I examined some cultural production which allowed me to follow activities linked to Science/Chemistry school knowledge production. For that, I examined Brazilian teaching official documents, the National Curricular Parameters, some Chemistry didactic books and a scientific publication magazine (Superinteressante Magazine). The research was developed under inspiration of Cultural Studies, using theoretical support by Stuart Hall, which I tried to connect to Michel Foucault’s and Thomas Popkewitz’s thoughts to carry out discursive analysis. The analysis show the interconnections between the enunciates that are part of different speeches published in these production and indicate that themes such as health, environment, technological development and consume started to constitute the agenda, in the referred magazine, in the didactic books and in the National Curricular Parameters. This subjects legitimate and submit these themes to school teaching in the Science/Chemistry area in Basic Education. The insertion of new themes/contents indicates that there is a rupture regarding what was formally considered pertinent school contents to the teaching of Science/Chemistry. Regarding health, for example, the texts started to worry about living longer, healthier, having a better look, carrying about being agile and young, which implies living in a “democratic” dictatorship of making responsible choices regarding body care, in other words, in these cultural aspects the speech related to health care is associated to will changes of attitude in the people’s ways of living. About the environment theme, the texts highlight the importance of adding daily practices to the school contents, which is considered a prerequisite for the citizenship development to promote the relationship between the people and the environment.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the popularity of comic magazines among Japanese adult readers--primarily it looks at the male audience, but it also considers female response. It analyses texts of specific men's comics to illustrate the discourse of "masculinity-through-occupation" which these magazines offer to readers. In addition it explores the phenomenon of "readership response" by examining a selection of "reader letters." The role-adaptation-through-enjoyment possibilities these comic magazines provide to male readers is compared to parallel possibilities for female readers by examining both women's responses to male comics, and the nature of narrative in women's comics.

Thesis, KTH, Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik, 2018. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-235724.
Full textAbstract:
Digitalization has been reshaping the media landscape in recent years, often conveying an implicit promise of becoming less dependent on physical resources. At the same time, the current understanding of digital reading goes beyond dedicated e-readers or definable digital media products such as magazines or newspapers. In fact, it must be perceived as a function or service obtained from existing and ever-expanding “digital ecosystems”. There is furthermore a clear and unambiguous trend that relatively small and mobile devices are on the rise for consuming all kinds of media. Next to potentially enabling environmental gains compared to traditional paper-based media consumption, there are agreeing indications of a shift from overall electricity consumption dominated by end-user devices towards an increasing importance of less tangible data transmission networks and data centers. Therefore, a bottom-up analysis is deemed to compliment more general top-down observations and assessments. To this end, an elaborated reference scenario is proposed as to bridge the mere analytical method of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) with behavioral aspects based on German market observations and surveys. The prevailing aim of this study is to detect environmental hot-spots and absolute impacts linked to the service of accessing text-based content via connected electronic devices. In doing so, this study takes the position that both types of media consumption – digital and paper-based - are incommensurable due to the very evident differences in provided functions, markets, and industries. Therefore, an attributional and stand-alone LCA is considered appropriate. The perceived current situation (reference scenario) evolves around substantiated estimates and assumptions concerning production of devices, use of devices as well as operation of essential data transmission network components. Looking at potential hot-spots, electricity consumption linked to data transmission could be a decisive factor for the environmental performance of digital reading. However, the actual importance of data transmission infrastructures depends on both methodological choices and a range of parameters or trends. For instance, the relative importance is shifted when more recent estimates of electricity intensities are incorporated. Depending on actual and localized electricity intensity of data transmission, the amount of data required to provide an expected function may inhibit environmental potentials of digital media consumption. Postulating average annual consumption of digital contents and assuming actual substitution of equivalent printed media products, about 50 kg CO2-equivalents. could potentially be avoided. This theoretical potential is based on the calculated global warming potential (GWP) associated with digital reading according to the reference scenario which amounts to about 29 kg CO2-equivalents. Therefore, this study supports findings from previous studies that indicated environmental benefits of digital reading. Compared to other functions or services (e.g. video/music streaming, podcasts, audio books) embedded in the same “digital ecosystems”, reading requires little amount of data. If allocation of upstream effects is based on time, the relative importance of data transmission networks could be gauged and compared by adopting a “data-to-service time” ratio. Taking the reference scenario as a starting point, a perceivable ratio for digital reading is 0.015 GB/h, including systemic inefficiencies. In contrast, streaming of high-definition video contents can easily consume 3 GB/h, a 200-fold increase. The audience of this study comprises providers of digital reading services and/or other media services as well as end-users as integral element in “digital ecosystems”. Besides, the report proposes a conceptual assessment framework which can be applied to other contemporary digital services or functions.De senaste åren har digitalisering omformat medielandskapet, med ett implicit löfte om att minska beroendet av fysiska resurser. Dessutom finns det tydliga trender som pekar mot en ökad användning av små, mobila enheter för att konsumera alla sorters media. En uppdaterad bottom-up analys bedöms komplettera mer generella observationer och bedömningar. Om man antar årliga genomsnittliga konsumtionsmönster i Tyskland, så är tillverkningen av elektroniska slutanvändarenheter – oavsett om de är till för enskilda ändamål (e-läsare) eller om de är multifunktionella (smartphone, surfplatta) – onekligen en miljömässigt kritisk punkt för digitalt läsande. Elförbrukningen, som sker i samband med dataöverföringen, kan också vara en avgörande faktor för den övergripande miljöpåverkan av digital läsning. Dock beror den faktiska påverkan av dataöverförningsinfrastrukturer dels på metodologiska val men även på ett antal andra parametrar och trender. Genom att undersöka indikatorn för global uppvärmning kan denna studie konstatera att resultaten stödjer tidigare forskning, som redan pekar på de miljömässiga vinsterna av digitalt läsande. Målgruppen för denna studie innefattar både distributörer av digitala läs-tjänster och/eller andra media tjänster såväl som slutanvändare som ett integrerat element i ”digitala ekosystem”.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, I explore and critique the content of the fashion teen magazine CosmoGirl. Through a bricolage of methods, I examine the magazine's representation of teen femininity and compare it to the editor's "pro-feminist" initial goal and intended social role for the publication.Drawing upon previous studies, and linking my findings to established theories, I analyze the possible relationship between the publication's content and the influence this media genre has on the social development of young women.
My research findings show that CosmoGirl's portrayal of femininity is stereotypical, patriarchal and unrealistic and that such representation perpetuates negative and destructive feelings in young women.
In my discussion, I explore possible reasons for the lack of representation of the editor's goal for the magazine within the magazine's overall discourse. I also discuss the importance of media literacy in education as a means to alter today's media, so its representation of women becomes truthful.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis’ purpose is to demonstrate, via the examination of popular youth literature (primarily pulp magazines and comic books) from the 1920s through to the 1950s, that the stories found therein drew their definitions of heroism and villainy from an overarching, nativist fear of outsiders that had existed before the Great War, but intensified afterwards. These depictions were transferred to America’s “new” enemies following both the United States’ entry into the Second World War, as well as the early stages of the Cold War. This transference of nativist imagery left behind the ethnically-based origins of such depictions, showing that racism was not the sole and simple reason for such exaggerated visages. A process of change, in regards to America’s nativist sentiment, so virulent after the First World War, will be explained by way of the popular, inexpensive escapism of the time, the pulp magazines and comic books of the early to mid-twentieth century.

Com base nos inúmeros estudos que vêm sendo realizados, os pesquisadores estão estabelecendo relação direta entre o consumo de gorduras-trans e os altos índices de doenças cardiovasculares, com isso percebemos a importância da repercussão desse tema nos diversos artefatos culturais. Assim, esta dissertação tem como objetivo investigar as revistas de divulgação, os livros didáticos e os rótulos de produtos alimentícios a fim de verificar os significados que tais artefatos vêm produzindo no que diz respeito às gordurastrans e o quanto eles produzem discursos com relação à alimentação e a saúde dos sujeitos. Este estudo fundamenta-se a partir do campo teórico dos Estudos culturais sob um viés pós- estruturalista, entendendo que as pedagogias que permeiam tais artefatos produzem os modos de ser e viver dos sujeitos, mostrando o quanto essas pedagogias modificam e instituem as identidades e as subjetividades. Percebemos que os conhecimentos apresentados pelos artefatos são produzidos em instituições autorizadas como universidades, institutos e agências, mas nem todos os conhecimentos são considerados válidos para compor os currículos desses artefatos estabelecendo algumas relações de poder na escolha dos temas que emergem dependendo da demanda econômica sóciocultural. Assim vamos entender que os enunciados que são apresentados pelas revistas, livros didáticos e rótulos de produtos alimentícios atrelados ao discurso da ciência regula, dita e prescreve os cuidados que os sujeitos devem ter com relação á alimentação e a saúde.
Based on numerous studies which have been conducted establishing a direct relationship between trans-fat consumption and high rates of cardiovascular disease, we realize the importance of this topic and its repercussion in various cultural artifacts. Therefore, the aim of this work is to investigate advertisement magazines, didactic books and labels of food products, to verify the meanings produced by these artifacts regard to trans-fat and how they produce speech in relation to food and health of the individuals. This study is based on the theoretical field of the cultural studies under a post-structuralist view, understanding that pedagogies permeating those artifacts produce ways of live and be of the individuals, demonstrating how these pedagogies modify and determine identities and subjectivities. We realize that the knowledge presented by the artifacts are produced in authorized institutions such as universities, institutes and agencies, but not all knowledge is considered valid to compose the curriculum of these artifacts, establishing some power relations in the choice of themes that emerge depending on the economic socio-cultural demand. Therefore we will understand that statements presented in advertisement magazines, didactic books and labels of food products linked to the speeches of science regulates, determines and prescribes the care that individuals should have regarding to food consumption and health.

The purpose of this thesis is to identify the structural features of the reviews elaborated by the teams of the Bravo!, Rolling Stone Brazil and Cult magazines in order to broaden the theories about the subject. The three are among the main publications aimed at covering the Brazilian cultural segment. At first, the genre took the marks of the academic segment to mass media, but acquired its own nuances over the years. There are 52 texts published by the magazines as a corpus. They presented diversified compositions, thematic contents and styles. Each publication was followed through 13 editions, which corresponds to the period of one year and one month. Concepts of authors who have worked on academic and journalistic reviews have served as the starting point for this survey. On the communication side, we consulted Coelho (2007), Marques de Melo (2003) and Piza (2013), among others. On the scientific side, we consulted Severino (2000), Maia (2007), Abreu-Tardelli, Lousada and Machado (2009), Medeiros (2009) and Didio (2013). The material was examined base on Bakhtin (2000). His theories about discourse genres were the main category of analysis used in this research, whose methodology is interpretative based on quantitative information for qualitative evaluations of the material and the results obtained. The main result is the observation that journalistic review, unlike what occurs in the university field, breaks with pre- established structures, although it is possible to say that its global order is roughly divided into introduction, development and conclusion. But the chain of ideas will depend much more on the knowledge about the focused object, on the professional experience and on the textual abilities of the reviewer than on the editorial rule. The exception occurs with one of two models used by Bravo! magazine that divided the text with explicit topics. The division presented variations according to the thematic content. In general, the compositional format brought this model closer to what is seen in the academic world, especially in the appreciation of books
O objetivo desta tese é identificar os traços estruturais das resenhas elaboradas pelas equipes das revistas Bravo!, Rolling Stone Brasil e Cult a fim de ampliar as teorias acerca do assunto. As três estão entre as principais publicações voltadas à cobertura do segmento cultural do País. Em um primeiro momento, o gênero carregou as marcas do segmento acadêmico para os veículos de comunicação, mas adquiriu matizes próprios através dos tempos. Como corpus, foram selecionados 52 textos difundidos pelas revistas. Eles apresentaram composições, conteúdos temáticos e estilos diversificados. Cada publicação foi acompanhada ao longo de 13 edições, número que corresponde ao período de um ano e um mês. Conceitos de autores que se debruçaram sobre as resenhas jornalística e acadêmica funcionaram como ponto de partida para este levantamento. Da comunicação, foram consultados Coelho (2007), Marques de Melo (2003) e Piza (2013), entre outros; do gênero científico, Severino (2000), Maia (2007), Abreu-Tardelli, Lousada e Machado (2009), Medeiros (2009) e Didio (2013). O material foi examinado à luz de Bakhtin (2000). As teorias dele em torno dos gêneros do discurso foram a categoria de análise condutora desta pesquisa, cuja metodologia é interpretativista com base em dados quantitativos para avaliações qualitativas do material e dos resultados obtidos. O principal deles é a constatação de que a resenha jornalística, diferentemente do que ocorre no campo universitário, rompe com estruturas pré-estabelecidas, embora seja possível afirmar que a sua ordem global seja dividida, grosso modo, em introdução, desenvolvimento e conclusão. O encadeamento de ideias, no entanto, vai depender muito mais do conhecimento acerca do objeto retratado, da experiência profissional e das habilidades textuais do resenhista do que propriamente de cânones editoriais. A exceção ocorre com um dos dois modelos utilizados pela revista Bravo! que fatiava o texto, de forma didática, com tópicos explícitos. A divisão apresentava variações de acordo com o conteúdo temático. De maneira geral, o formato composicional aproximava mais esse modelo daquilo que é visto no mundo acadêmico, sobretudo na apreciação de livros

With the development of mobile and cloud technologies, coupled with the rise of environmental awareness,the eBook and related industries have begun to flourish.Especially when iPad launched in 2010, it has brought more interactive eBook technologies and applications into diverse play. The interactive feature has become an important indicator of eBook reading software and services. Different from the traditional one-dimensional model of quality measurement,Professor Noriaki Kano of Japan classifies customer preferences into five categories: attractive quality, one-dimensional quality, must-be quality, indifferent quality and reverse quality. In this study, we use the Kano model to review the relationship between the interactive quality of eBook reading software and the readers’ actual needs. We comprehend the quality attribute of Kano model that eBook interactive features such as “Display Vertically”, “Display Horizontally”, and “Language Shift” are classified as. There are 25 quality attributes in the “iPad version of Master60 Magazine”. We learn from the questionnaire survey,among the 25 attributes, there are 11 classified as attractive quality, 7 as one-dimensional quality and 7 as indifferent quality. There is no reverse and must-be quality. Based on the “Quality Improvement Index” of Kano model, we use the statistical data as the reference to improve service quality. We also analyze whether the demographic variables have obviously different views on reading service quality. According to the statistical data, there are 3 reading service quality featuring obviously different views because of gender; there are 7 reading service quality featuring obviously different views because of education level.

The thesis "Contemporary Magazines for Preschool Children from Family Point of View" introduces the area of reading pre-literacy focused on the issue of children's magazines. The theoretical part of the thesis defines the notion of the pre-literacy and the importance of reading pre-literacy in relation to the child of pre-school age. It also focuses on the child's relationship to the book and the children's magazine. The empirical part aims to explore children's magazines through documentary analysis, focusing on the content of current magazines for pre- school children. Another goal is to find out, by means of a questionnaire survey, on what criteria the parents choose children's magazines and what role the children themselves have in choosing the magazine. The results of the analysis found that there are magazines of good quality and content suitable for preschool children (Báječná školka, Raketa) and lesser quality magazines (Barbie, Auta). The results of the questionnaire survey show that most parents choose a children's magazine according to the quality of the texts, however the children's wishes plays an important role in the selection.

Challenger magazine was founded in May 2004, which is a rare publication of Taiwanese comics, including comic-novels and movies. It features "Local" and "reader’s participation", and from 2004 to 2008, did not rely on governmental sponsor to maintain the operation of the magazine for four years and 2 months. Thus, this fact leads me to be interested in researching "Challenger magazine" and "Taiwanese Comics" and their relevancy. This article was written through the "Content analysis"："Challenger magazine" reflects not only "Taiwanese comic industry," the marketing path, readers, production, long-term accumulated disadvantages, but also the plight from 2004 to 2008 "Taiwan comic magazine" had faced.

Bombarded by various waves of consumer information,Taiwan has hit the road to the so-called “style society” with the trend towards aestheticization of daily lives and growing emphasis on tastes, and in the meantime the industries, while churning out products, do not forget to compete for the interpretive power and symbolic control over the media. In Taiwan, as far as cultural tastes and lifestyle modeling are concerned, the “Eslite phenomenon” shall not be ignored. With content analysis, this research probes into the editorial logic by which the Eslite Bookstore, as one of the important indicators on the map of Taiwan culture consumers’ tastes, has tried to design its style-based Eslite Book Review and Eslite Reader magazines. In the end, the researcher deliberates over some visages of bourgeois tastes shaped by Eslite and contextualizes the findings in the class struggles for culture distinction as well as the recent social-economic changes in Taiwan. As the research shows, the main editorial notion of Eslite Bookstore is to construct an orthodox and legitimized legitimate taste domain by the voices of those culturally powerful male experts. It aims to build up a consumer style that is different from the past bourgeois conspicuous consumption and offers certain symbolic repertoires for the pursuit of delicate culture and life.Proclaiming itself as with higher cultural capital, Eslite prefers to involve more cultural activities and discourses to demonstrate its superiority, and to balance practical functions with more style innovations to distinguish itself from peers. In general, Eslite Book Review and Eslite Reader maintain a consistent style that uniquely belongs to Eslite . During the period of Eslite Book Review, it stresses mainly on life attitude, aesthetic style the second; whereas, Eslite Reader puts aesthetic style on the top of life attitude. Neither in these two periods have conventional values been emphasized. Eslite skillfully takes advantage of the existing cultural capital from the academic and expert systems to polish its cultural taste, and then elegantly projects such a cultural taste onto its consumers.By doing so, it successfully attains the identification from the readership and achieves its purpose of accumulating cultural capital and transforming it into economic capital.
