  • Emotional Culture? an Investigation Into the Emotional Coverage of Televised Leader Debates in Newspapers and Twitter
    London South Bank University School of Arts and Creative Industries Emotional Culture? An Investigation into the Emotional Coverage of Televised Leader Debates in Newspapers and Twitter by Morgane Dani`eleKimmich Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of London South Bank University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2016 Abstract This thesis studies how emotions are used in and around TV debates by politi- cians during debates, by newspaper journalists in their coverage of debates and by Twitter users following debates and reacting to their coverage. Although emotions have been the focus of many studies recently, the literature that combines emo- tions with politics, journalism and social media remains limited. To fill this gap in knowledge, my research involves two case studies: the 2010 British election, where TV debates were held for the first time, and the 2012 American election, where debates are a long-standing tradition. For this purpose, my research is guided by the following research question: how far did political candidates, print media and Twitter users use emotions and emotional references in the 2010 British and 2012 American televised leader debates and their coverage? To answer this research question, I carried out a content analysis of the three British and four American debate transcripts; a framing analysis of 104 articles from the New York Post and 223 articles from The New York Times as well as 93 articles from The Sun and 238 articles from The Guardian; and, finally, a content analysis of a sample of American (30 000 tweets) and British tweets (3 000 tweets) posted during the debates period.

  • Creative Writing on Place and Nature
    Creative Writing on Place and Nature Jean Sprackland A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Published Work (Route 2) Department of English Manchester Metropolitan University 2016 i Abstract This PhD by Publication (Route 2) brings together a series of three books of which I am the sole author, and which share common ground in terms of theme and preoccupation. I seek to demonstrate how these three publications have contributed to the existing body of work in creative writing about place and nature, and specifically how they might be seen to address three key research questions. The submission includes my two most recent poetry collections, Tilt (2007) and Sleeping Keys (2013), both of which are characterised by an awareness of place and an acute attention to the natural world. These two collections explore two very different kinds of location: the poems in Tilt are mostly situated in the wide open spaces of the coast, whereas those in Sleeping Keys are largely located indoors, in the rooms of houses, occupied or abandoned. The third item in the submission is Strands: A Year of Discoveries on the Beach (2012), a book of essays or meditations which collectively describe a year’s walking on the wild estuarial beaches between Formby and Southport, charting the changing character of place through different weathers and seasons. This text might be classified as ‘creative non-fiction’ or ‘narrative non-fiction’ (neither of these terms is entirely uncontroversial or clearly defined). These three books have achieved a large and international readership.
