A similar measure has been introduced in the Ontario leg- islature, the provincial parliament, in December, which, if passed, would be implemented province-wide. On the local level, the Toronto City Council voted in No- vember to have June as Filipino Heritage Month in Toron- to, Ontario's capital, coinciding with the celebration of Philippine independence day on June 12. Salma Zahid, MP for Scarborough Centre, said on Thurs- day, Jan. 18, that she filed a motion in Parliament which "recognizes the contributions of the Filipino community have made to the socio-economic fabric" of Canada.

  • Ideology and Myth in South African Television: a Critical Analysis of Sabc Channel Brand Identities
    IDEOLOGY AND MYTH IN SOUTH AFRICAN TELEVISION: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF SABC CHANNEL BRAND IDENTITIES by WOUDRI BOTHA Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Magister Artium (Visual Studies) in the FACULTY OF HUMANITIES UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA May 2010 Supervisor: Prof Jeanne van Eeden © University of Pretoria DECLARATION Student number: 21284254 I declare that Ideology and myth in South African television: a critical analysis of SABC television channel brand identities is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. ___________________________ ________________________ Ms W Botha Date ii “There are many different kinds of metaphors in which our thinking about cultural change takes place. These metaphors themselves change. Those which grip our imagination, and, for a time, govern our thinking about scenarios and possibilities of cultural transformation, give way to new metaphors, which make us think about these difficult questions in new terms” (Stuart Hall 1996f:287). iii SUMMARY Title: Ideology and myth in South African television: a critical analysis of SABC channel brand identities Name: Woudri Botha Supervisor: Prof Jeanne van Eeden Department: Department of Visual Arts Degree: Magister Artium (Visual Studies) Summary: This dissertation investigates the brand identities of the South African Broadcasting Corporation television channels SABC1, SABC2 and SABC3 during the first decade of the 2000s (from 2000 to 2009). The study explores the manifestation and dissemination of dominant political ideologies and myths by the SABC television channels and their respective brand identities. It is argued that SABC television channels are structured and organised according to specific brand ideologies that match dominant political ideologies prevalent in South Africa.
