Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'Progress entertainment'

The purpose of this thesis is to research the relation between spatial structures and social relations including the cultural ones. This study specifically researches the relation between the construction and the representation of urban space and urban culture in Sakarya Caddesi as an instance of society-space interaction. This research focuses on Sakarya Caddesi where various urban cultural practices such as entertainment, has intensified. It deals with the constitution and representation of this entertainment space and researches how a particular place is constructed materially and imaginarily, how different social actors perceive, interpret and constitute a particular place in different ways. Accordingly, the contestation over the representation and use of place is discussed in this study. In order to comprehend a local place and culture, the issues should be thought in a wider context. Therefore, Sakarya Caddesi which is a part of urban space and the urban practices which occur in this area, are evaluated in global context. This study, discusses the influences of global changes on urban space, urban cultural practices and lifestyles.

Many people turn to television to relax. The easiest way is to sit in front of the TV and immerse yourself in a two-dimensional world. Television, unlike other media, is the easiest to perceive. Reading newspapers and magazines or listening to the radio requires more concentration. When watching TV programs, a person makes less mental effort, which negatively affects the development of society. Therefore, it is extremely necessary to saturate the media space with cultural, educational and artistic programs. The aim of this research is to analyze and investigate the existence of cultural, educational and entertainment programs in the Ukrainian media space.
Багато людей звертаються до телебачення, щоб відпочити. Найпростіший спосіб - сісти перед телевізором і зануритись у двовимірний світ. Телебачення, на відміну від інших ЗМІ, сприймається найлегше. Читання газет і журналів або прослуховування радіо вимагає більшої концентрації уваги. Під час перегляду телевізійних програм людина докладає менше розумових зусиль, що негативно позначається на розвитку суспільства. Тому надзвичайно необхідно наситити медіапростір культурними, освітніми та мистецькими програмами. Метою цього дослідження є аналіз та дослідження існування культурних, освітніх та розважальних програм в українському медіапросторі.

Three late Elizabethan progress entertainments are being discussed: Cowdray (August 1591), Elvetham (September 1591), and Harefield (July 1602). The Elvetham entertainment has received some critical attention and is comparatively well known due to the extraordinary preparations undertaken for the royal visit, and the fact that a woodcut of an artificial crescent-shaped lake, especially dug for the occasion, has survived. The other two entertainments have been somewhat neglected, and Harefield survives only in fragmentary form. To my knowledge, its text has never been printed in toto, and the thesis will include a transcript of the original manuscript housed in Warwickshire County Record Office. The traditional view that progress entertainments were pastoral tales whose main purpose was to consolidate and confirm existing class structures is challenged. Entertainments are rather complex fictions that serve not merely to establish and preserve the `beautiful relation' between Queen and her subjects, highborn as well as lowly. These occasions were also very much sites for the exercise of power, by monarch and hosts alike. When examining these festivities in their historical and political contexts and illuminating their hosts' backgrounds, significant new interpretations, or at least possible alternative readings, may be found. Most importantly, the entertainments have to be viewed holistically, as events rather than as the texts that have come down to us. The hosts of the first two entertainments were powerful peers who were politically suspect from the regime's point of view. Both these lords, on the other hand, had little reason to love the regime because they had been harassed. Despite this state of affairs, traditional interpretations still maintain that both entertainments were submissive in tenor; that their hosts regarded the royal visit as an honour, and tried to (re)gain the Queen's favour through the spectacles that they were putting on. I would claim that these pageants are far more complex affairs and have to be read on different levels of signification. Far from being submissive, these fetes can be interpreted as challenging the existing order, if not indeed actively trying to subvert it. Having said that, there are country welcomes that seem to conform to the more traditional view of progress entertainments. The third pageant at Harefield was offered by a top-ranking Elizabethan official whose relationship with the Queen was presumably more amicable. Her visit to him was probably intended as a sign of favour, and his motivation in hosting the entertainment may well have been the consolidation of his own position within her close circle of councillors. He would have aimed at maintaining the existing order rather than challenge it; at establishing a `beautiful relation' between all classes. These conclusions can only be drawn, however, once the event as a whole has been studied as well as the surviving fragments of text.

Este trabajo de investigación muestra cómo afectan los distintos criterios aplicados en los programas de carácter híbrido, que son una mezcla de los programas periodísticos y de entretenimiento, en la televisión peruana de señal abierta para incluir dentro de sus temas aquellos de carácter policial. Los elementos estudiados para el análisis son la estructura de estos, el rol de los conductores y panelistas, los recursos periodísticos, el lenguaje utilizado y los recursos televisivos. Los casos a estudiar fueron “Camilita” en el programa Válgame emitido en Latina en marzo de 2020, “Angie Jibaja” en Magaly Tv La Firme en ATV en marzo de 2020 y “Thomas Restobar” en La Banda del Chino en América TV en agosto de 2020. A través de la observación y la aplicación de los conceptos se logró concluir que aquellos elementos, en algunos casos, sí afectan al desarrollo de los programas al tocar temas de carácter policial.
This research work shows how the different criteria applied in hybrid programs, which are a mixture of journalistic and entertainment programs, affect Peruvian open signal television to include those of a police nature within its topics. The elements studied for the analysis are their structure, the role of the hosts and panelists, the journalistic resources, the language used and the television resources. The cases to be studied were “Camilita” on the Válgame program broadcast in Latin America in March 2020, “Angie Jibaja” on Magaly Tv La Firme on ATV in March 2020 and “Thomas Restobar” on La Banda del Chino on América TV in August 2020. Through the observation and application of the concepts, it was possible to conclude that those elements, in some cases, do affect the development of programs by touching on police issues.
Trabajo de investigación

La tesi prende in esame gli intrattenimenti regali offerti a Elisabetta I, a Giacomo I Stuart e sua moglie Anna, in un periodo tra 1559 e il 1613. A quel tempo, varie forme di spettacolo venivano impiegate per celebrare ed intrattenere il sovrano, sia all’interno della corte che fuori. Considerando la diffusione di questi ‘spettacoli regali’ come un fenomeno che ha fortemente caratterizzato entrambi i periodi, scopo precipuo di questo studio sarà quello di indagarne lo sviluppo dall’epoca Elisabettiana a quella Giacomiana concentrandosi soprattutto sull’analisi del complesso rapporto fra ‘script’ e ‘testo spettacolare’. Fulcro dell’indagine saranno gli intrattenimenti organizzati in occasione della cerimonia d’entrata nella capitale del sovrano, come pure quelli allestiti durante i soggiorni estivi in provincia, ossia presso alcune città, le Università e le dimore della nobiltà. Attraverso la disamina congiunta di differenti tipologie di testo, fra le quali, ‘scripts’, lettere, dispacci e estratti da resoconti storici coevi, ciascun capitolo si propone di analizzare vari intrattenimenti, singolarmente o in gruppo, ponendo particolare attenzione al loro contesto ‘spettacolare’, al fine di tracciarne le modalità performative che li caratterizzano e individuare le diversità o corrispondenze nel passaggio da un’epoca all’altra. Partendo dal presupposto che questi intrattenimenti espongono il sovrano come ‘oggetto visibile’ e fulcro della performance ideando una ‘messa in scena’ intimamente legata a questioni ideologiche e politiche, l’indagine si offre inoltre di esaminare la complessa trama di riferimenti e allegorie che hanno contribuito a creare una sofisticata simbologia del potere regale attraverso la rappresentazione su vari scaffolds urbani e regionali di questa particolare categoria di spettacoli rinascimentali.
This thesis focuses on the outdoor entertainments staged before Queen Elizabeth, King James Stuart and his wife, Queen Anne, over a period of fifty years. This was a time when different pageant shows were mounted to celebrate and entertain the monarchs, both inside and outside the court. The aim of this study is to trace the development of royal pageantry in Elizabethan and Jacobean England by investigating the complex text/stage relationship pertaining to such multifaceted forms of spectacle. Special attention will be paid to civic ceremonies, entertainments on progress, at the Universities and at aristocratic country houses. Although these performances took place within a broader entertainment culture and were organized for diverse occasions, they were set up as ‘shows in progress’ which had at their centre a royal guest who often figured as both spectator and performer. The focus is on a variety of ceremonial events, whose analysis first aims at shedding light on the structure of their textual accounts in order to understand how these ‘shows’ were staged and identify their performative features. By gathering together different textual accounts, such as printed publications of urban processions, outdoor shows and court masques, as well as dispatches, letters, and historical records, each chapter undertakes a close reading of one particular royal spectacle with the aim to reconstruct its staging by drawing attention to its performative context. Since these ‘royal triumphals’ are especially concerned with the notion of sovereign power, special emphasis will be laid on the type of iconography which is textually inscribed in the entertainment script and visually displayed through its performance by concentrating on the relationship between of verbal text and visual display. A focus on these issues allows to build up a picture of the staging of these outdoor performances in the transition from Elizabethan to Jacobean entertaining culture, by highlighting their different or equivalent stage practices.

EN : Pazyuchenko T. Directing skills on infotainment television. Zaporizhzha. 2019. 70 рр. The relevance of the research topic is due to the active development of modern technologies, changing the formats and methods of producing content on television. Such changes need to be tracked and analyzed as they may give some insight into current media trends. Regional television plays an important role in the formation of outlook, information awareness and emotional impact on the viewer in the context of the territorial concentration of the population. For viewers who live in places far removed from cultural and community centers and do not have the financial means to travel, TV channels remain the main source of up-to-date information about the world, as well as one of the available entertainment and cultural education opportunities. Particularly important in the context of media dissemination through television is a phenomenon of infotainment - the unity of information and entertainment. Therefore, in today's media space, most media, especially in the morning programs, strive to follow the infotainment formula and combine the recreational and cognitive functions of journalism in one media product. Entertainment programs are the basis for modern television, especially when considering regional channels. To create a quality information and entertainment product requires directorial skills, successful structural and compositional construction, involvement of various technical means. Considering such tendencies of development of the modern television space, we consider the research of the regional TV-channel from the point of view of journalistic skill and dissemination of information and entertaining content relevant.

Atualmente, existe uma grande variedade de marcas no mercado, criando-se assim um clima mais competitivo entre elas e é neste âmbito que a aposta na publicidade, por parte das mesmas, é cada vez maior. No entanto, embora ainda se invista muito na publicidade tradicional, cada vez mais surgem alternativas aliciantes para as marcas se promoverem. O product placement, é um exemplo disso e tem-se tornado num grande aliado das marcas, aumentando a sua notoriedade. A inserção desta técnica de comunicação é bastante visível na ficção televisiva, nomeadamente nas telenovelas e nesse sentido, o objetivo desta investigação é perceber o impacto que o product placement, inserido nas telenovelas, exerce nos consumidores, na forma como estes reagem a esta inserção e como percecionam as marcas que apostam nesta forma de comunicação. Para perceber este impacto no comportamento dos consumidores, foi selecionado um estudo de caso: Sumo Compal Amor Maior, conseguindo aferir de forma mais aprofundada em que dimensões ou aspetos é que a técnica de product placement, na telenovela Amor Maior, foi benéfica para a marca Compal. As conclusões obtidas demonstram que cada vez mais as marcas apostam nesta técnica de comunicação, sendo no geral do agrado da maioria dos telespectadores, embora algumas vezes seja considerada pouco natural e demasiado intrusiva. Neste caso específico, da marca Compal, o facto de ter sido inserida numa telenovela em prime-time permitiu chegar a uma grande quantidade de telespectadores, ajudando a marca em termos de notoriedade.

To understand this impact on consumer behavior, a case study was selected: Compal Amor Maior juice. The specific question to address was in which dimensions or aspects the product placement technique in the soap opera Amor Maior was beneficial to Compal brand. The conclusions reached show that an increasing number of brands are investing on this technique of communication, being generally appreciated by most viewers, although sometimes it is considered unnatural and too intrusive. In this specific case, Compal brand, the fact that it was inserted in a soap opera in prime time allowed the brand to reach a large number of viewers, helping the brand to increase of notoriety.

The study investigates the educational role of the public service broadcaster in post-apartheid South Africa. The aim was to investigate the educational role of the programme Shift as part of the content offering of the public broadcaster and the extent to which it satisfies the educational needs of its audiences. The main objective of the study is to investigate factors that influence the educational role of the SABC. The study focused on three different forms of educational television which are the formal, informal and no-formal education.
