  • The Production of Religious Broadcasting: the Case of The
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenGrey Repository The Production of Religious Broadcasting: The Case of the BBC Caitriona Noonan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Centre for Cultural Policy Research Department of Theatre, Film and Television University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8QQ December 2008 © Caitriona Noonan, 2008 Abstract This thesis examines the way in which media professionals negotiate the occupational challenges related to television and radio production. It has used the subject of religion and its treatment within the BBC as a microcosm to unpack some of the dilemmas of contemporary broadcasting. In recent years religious programmes have evolved in both form and content leading to what some observers claim is a “renaissance” in religious broadcasting. However, any claims of a renaissance have to be balanced against the complex institutional and commercial constraints that challenge its long-term viability. This research finds that despite the BBC’s public commitment to covering a religious brief, producers in this style of programming are subject to many of the same competitive forces as those in other areas of production. Furthermore those producers who work in-house within the BBC’s Department of Religion and Ethics believe that in practice they are being increasingly undermined through the internal culture of the Corporation and the strategic decisions it has adopted. This is not an intentional snub by the BBC but a product of the pressure the Corporation finds itself under in an increasingly competitive broadcasting ecology, hence the removal of the protection once afforded to both the department and the output.

  • Thinking Allowed
    L HIL RD A H C R O THINKING ALLOWED S N IR CA Programme of Lectures and Events 2013 – 2014 Cairns Church, 11 Buchanan Street, Milngavie Orchardhill Parish Church, 12 Church Road, Giffnock THINKING ALLOWED INTRODUCTION Scottish religion, down through the centuries, has generally been seen as overly orthodox and dogmatic. The strong influences of Calvinism touched most aspects of life, resulting in a general ease with all matters traditional, and an intuitive fear of ideas and convictions created “outside the box”. Given such a historical background, it is somewhat surprising that as a nation we have managed to produce quite a number of distinguished thinkers; radical theologians who in their own way had the courage to think aloud and, more than that, were prepared to accept the consequences that followed. Folk like Thomas Aikenhead, hanged at Leith in 1696 for sharing ideas gleaned from his University reading list, or John Mcleod Campbell, condemned by the General Assembly of 1831 for suggesting that Christ died for all, not just the elect. And as late as 1880, William Robertson Smith was sacked by his University for daring to raise critical questions about the Bible in an Encyclopaedia Britannica article! All of these people shared an honest desire to express the truth as they saw it. None claimed to be without error. None of them believed that their ideas represented the last word. In the spirit of “Thinking Allowed”, they simply held to the view that new angles and fresh perspectives were the essential currency of Christianity. What was true then, is still true today.

  • How to Switch Programs on the XDS Pro Using Serial Commands Every
    How to switch programs on the XDS Pro using Serial Commands Every Program transmitted via the XDS satellite system is associated with a Program ID that identifies the program to the receiver. Individual programs may be selected to the receiver’s output ports by issuing serial ID commands via the M&C (Console) Port on the back of the receiver, thereby changing the program that the receiver is decoding. If a program is selected for decoding using this method that is NOT part of the station’s list of authorized programming, it will NOT be decoded. Only programs authorized for the station that the receiver is assigned to can be decoded. Whenever possible, always use the XDS Port Scheduler as your main method of taking a program to ensure you receive the proper content. You can command the receiver as follows: 1) Start a terminal session (using HyperTerminal or equivalent) by connecting to the receiver’s M&C (Console) Port. The default settings for this Port are 115200, 8, None, 1. 2) Hit Enter. You should see a “Hudson” prompt. 3) Log in by by typing LOGIN(space)TECH(space)(PASSWORD) (Use your Affiliate NMS (myxdsreceiver.westwoodone.com) password OR you can use the receiver’s daily password (Setup > Serial # > PWD). 4) Login confirmation will be displayed (‘You are logged in as TECH’) Once you are logged in, the command to steer a Port on the receiver to a specific program PID is: PORT(space)LIVE,(Port),ID Examples: PORT LIVE,A,99 – This command will set Port A to Program ID 99 (Mark Levin) PORT LIVE,B,1196 – This command will set Port B to Program ID 1196 (CBS Sports - Tiki and Tierney) Please refer to the PID table listed below for the Program ID assignments for each program available on the Westwood One XDS receiver.

  • Sidney, Shakespeare, and the Elizabethans in Caroline England
    Textual Ghosts: Sidney, Shakespeare, and the Elizabethans in Caroline England Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rachel Ellen Clark, M.A. English Graduate Program The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Richard Dutton, Advisor Christopher Highley Alan Farmer Copyright by Rachel Ellen Clark 2011 Abstract This dissertation argues that during the reign of Charles I (1625-42), a powerful and long-lasting nationalist discourse emerged that embodied a conflicted nostalgia and located a primary source of English national identity in the Elizabethan era, rooted in the works of William Shakespeare, Sir Philip Sidney, John Lyly, and Ben Jonson. This Elizabethanism attempted to reconcile increasingly hostile conflicts between Catholics and Protestants, court and country, and elite and commoners. Remarkably, as I show by examining several Caroline texts in which Elizabethan ghosts appear, Caroline authors often resurrect long-dead Elizabethan figures to articulate not only Puritan views but also Arminian and Catholic ones. This tendency to complicate associations between the Elizabethan era and militant Protestantism also appears in Caroline plays by Thomas Heywood, Philip Massinger, and William Sampson that figure Queen Elizabeth as both ideally Protestant and dangerously ambiguous. Furthermore, Caroline Elizabethanism included reprintings and adaptations of Elizabethan literature that reshape the ideological significance of the Elizabethan era. The 1630s quarto editions of Shakespeare’s Elizabethan comedies The Merry Wives of Windsor, The Taming of the Shrew, and Love’s Labour’s Lost represent the Elizabethan era as the source of a native English wit that bridges social divides and negotiates the ii roles of powerful women (a renewed concern as Queen Henrietta Maria became more conspicuous at court).

  • Reading George Herbert in the Light of His Contemporaries
    “AND IN ANOTHER MAKE ME UNDERSTOOD”: READING GEORGE HERBERT IN THE LIGHT OF HIS CONTEMPORARIES Anne Judith Menkens A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Reid Barbour Darryl Gless Megan Matchinske John Wall Jessica Wolfe © 2009 Anne Judith Menkens ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Anne J. Menkens: “And in another make me understood”: Reading George Herbert in the Light of his Contemporaries (Under the direction of Reid Barbour) This dissertation examines the ways critics have coupled George Herbert with different authors and thinkers of his era and analyzes the effects of these pairings on what Herbert has meant to readers. The specific fellow writers considered are Richard Hooker/John Calvin (in whose company Herbert looks like a religious partisan); Francis Bacon (as “modern” thinker, examining the physical world separated from a religious interpretation); and John Donne (as artist, creating dramatic speakers in conversation with God). To a great extent, critics have used such couplings to convey the values they wish to impart to readers and build the literary canon thereby. Herbert is a special case because of the sheer variety of appropriations made of his work since its first publication and the often contentious nature of these appropriations. Moreover, Herbert seems aware of his own work’s flexibility and describes the uses of this quality in social discourse. The review of the literature traces not only the roller coaster ride that has been Herbert’s critical reception but also the dozens of introductions to Herbert’s works.

  • St John's College Chapel Services
    St John’s College Chapel Services Michaelmas Term 2018 St John’s College Chapel Since the early thirteenth century the site of St John’s College has had a place of Christian worship. The original Chapel, whose ruins may still be viewed in First Court, belonged to a hospital for the poor and infirm and was retained when the College was founded in 1511. Our present Chapel, built in 1869 by Sir George Gilbert Scott, continues this faithful offering of prayer with regular services enriched by the College’s outstanding choral tradition. Members of the public are welcome at all Choral Services, printed in BOLD TYPE in this list. Surplices are provided in the Chapel, and are worn by members of the College on Sundays, at Evensong on Saturdays, and on other holy days as marked in this list with the letter S. Choral Evensong Our service of Evensong follows that set down in the Church of England’s Book of Common Prayer in 1662. The service can be followed on the cream cards in the stalls. On Tuesdays to Sundays Evensong is sung by the College Choir of men and boys, who study either at the College or at the College School. On Mondays Evensong is sung by the College’s mixed-voice choir, St John’s Voices. The words of the psalm appointed for the day and sung by the Choir may be found in the Book of Common Prayer (usually red). Please join in singing the hymns, usually found in the green New English Hymnal. In accordance with the spirit of the Book of Common Prayer a portion of the Morning Psalms are sung during the first half of term and a portion of the Evening Psalms during the second half.
