  • Issue 91 May 2018 David Steven’S Memorial Lecture Dr Johnston Mcmaster—Adjunct Assistant Professor, Irish School of Ecumentics
    Community Relations Council CRC e-News Public Theology: A New Model of Engagement Issue 91 May 2018 David Steven’s Memorial Lecture Dr Johnston McMaster—Adjunct Assistant Professor, Irish School of Ecumentics CRC held the David Steven’s Memorial Lecture on the 27th March in the Duncairn Centre, Dr McMaster was invited to give the address. I am grateful to Jacqueline Irwin and the Community Relations Council for the invitation to give this year's David Stevens Memorial Lecture. It was an invitation I could not refuse. I count it an immense privilege to be able to honour David in this way. We knew each other well, worked from the same building in Elmwood Avenue for some years and our paths crossed in a variety of ways over a long time. We shared some exciting adventures together. On one occasion we even slept together! Let me quickly explain. We set off to a conference in the Romanian city of Sibiu, arrived first in Bucharest airport expecting to be met, taken to a hotel and then travel on by train the next morning. There was no one at the airport and we had no contact numbers and it was late at night. We thought perhaps the railway station was the meeting point, so we went outside and took a taxi. We were ripped off because we ought to have used the official airport taxi booked from the airport desk. Now we were at Bucharest Central, almost penniless, and no meet and greet Romanians. There were just guys offering to drive us to Sibiu, which would have probably meant re-mortgaging our houses in Belfast.

  • Rock Artists' Politically Persuasive Messages
    ‘NEVER FALL INTO SILENCE’ Rock Artists’ Politically Persuasive Messages Ari Häkkinen Master’s Thesis in Speech Communication Fall 2008 Department of Communication University of Jyväskylä JYVÄSKYLÄN YLIOPISTO Tiedekunta Laitos HUMANISTINEN TIEDEKUNTA VIESTINTÄTIETEIDEN LAITOS Tekijä Ari Häkkinen Työn nimi ‘NEVER FALL INTO SILENCE’ – Rock Artists’ Politically Persuasive Messages Oppiaine Työn laji Puheviestintä Pro gradu -tutkielma Aika Sivumäärä Syksy 2008 92 Tiivistelmä Tutkielmassa selvitettiin, millaisia ovat rock-artistien yhteiskunnallisen vaikuttamisen viestit. Tarkastelun keskiössä olivat artistien verbaaliset viestit, ja aihetta lähestyttiin peilaamalla vaikuttamisen teoreettista tietoa rockmusiikin kontekstiin. Tutkielman viestinnällinen lähtökohta avaa uusia näkökulmia tarkastella rockin poliittisuutta, jota on usein lähestytty sosiologisemmista lähtökohdista. Tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miten vaikuttamisen teoreettinen tieto voisi auttaa ymmärtämään rock- artistien yhteiskunnallista vaikuttamista, sekä toisaalta myös, millaisia uusia näkökulmia rockmusiikin konteksti voisi tuoda vaikuttamisen tarkasteluun. Teoreettisen tiedon rinnalle annettiin esimerkkejä rockmusiikista löytyvistä artistien yhteiskunnallisen vaikuttamisen viesteistä. Tutkielmassa nostettiin myös esiin kontekstin erityispiirteet yhteiskunnallisen vaikuttamisen moninaisena mahdollistajana. Vaikuttamisen tutkimuksessa on usein eroteltu interaktiivinen ja ei-interaktiivinen vaikuttaminen sekä joukkoviestinnällinen ja interpersonaalinen vaikuttaminen toisistaan.
