  • Arxiv:2006.07283V3 [Cs.SI] 21 Dec 2020 Public Support Is Essential for the Success of Policy Measures
    Dutch General Public Reaction on Governmental COVID-19 Measures and Announcements in Twitter Data Shihan Wang1, Marijn Schraagen1, Erik Tjong Kim Sang2, and Mehdi Dastani1 1 Intelligent Systems, Utrecht University, The Netherlands s.wang2, m.p.schraagen, [email protected] 2 Netherlands eScience Center [email protected] Abstract. Public sentiment (the opinions, attitudes or feelings expressed by the public) is a factor of interest for government, as it directly influ- ences the implementation of policies. Given the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 crisis, having an up-to-date representation of public senti- ment on governmental measures and announcements is crucial. While the `staying-at-home' policy makes face-to-face interactions and interviews challenging, analysing real-time Twitter data that reflects public opinion toward policy measures is a cost-effective way to access public sentiment. In this context, we collect streaming data using the Twitter API start- ing from the COVID-19 outbreak in the Netherlands in February 2020, and track Dutch general public reactions on governmental measures and announcements. We provide temporal analysis of tweet frequency and public sentiment over the past nice months. We also identify public at- titudes towards two Dutch policies in case studies: one regarding social distancing and one regarding wearing face masks. By presenting those preliminary results, we aim to provide visibility into the social media dis- cussions around COVID-19 to the general public, scientists and policy makers. The data collection and analysis will be updated and expanded over time. Keywords: COVID-19 · sentiment analysis · Twitter data analysis · Dutch policy measures · natural language processing 1 Introduction arXiv:2006.07283v3 [cs.SI] 21 Dec 2020 Public support is essential for the success of policy measures.

  • Stand-Up Comedy in Je Eentje Een Zaal Vermaken
    Stand-up comedy In je eentje een zaal vermaken Stand-up comedy is een uit Amerika overgewaaide vorm van theater, die inmiddels niet meer uit Nederland weg te denken is. Stand-up comedy is een kunstvorm die oorspronkelijk uit de Verenigde Staten komt. Tijdens de voorstelling houdt de comedian een monoloog tegen het publiek. Maar toch wordt het zo gebracht dat het net een dialoog lijkt. Dit 'gesprek' is in principe voorbereid en wordt meestal op een spontane manier gebracht, alsof de artiest tegen zijn vrienden praat. Timing, accenten, gelaatsuitdrukkingen, gebaren, imitaties en geluidseffecten vormen de ingrediënten waarmee de comedian speelt. Ontstaan Deze kunstvorm is ontstaan aan het begin van de jaren 50 als reactie op het bestaande amusement in Amerika. Vanaf het eind van de 19de eeuw is 'vaudeville' een belangrijke Amerikaanse theatervorm. Goochelaars, dansers, buiksprekers en comedians traden op in deze shows, die meer geïmproviseerd verliepen dan de Broadwayshows. Bezuiniging Toen het in de jaren dertig heel slecht ging met de economie (de depressie) werd het Vaudevilletheater te duur. Veel clubs sloten hun deuren, andere clubs gingen over op een theatervorm waar minder personeel voor ingehuurd hoefde te worden. Comedians moesten in hun eentje een zaal kunnen vermaken. Bovendien moest deze show een losser karakter hebben, zodat mensen zich niet geremd zouden voelen veel drank te bestellen. De inhoud van deze shows kwam meestal neer op het vertellen van moppen, die vaak niet door de comedian bedacht waren. Verandering Mort Sahl was de eerste comedian die het helemaal anders aanpakte. Hij droeg gewone kleren en sprak vrijuit over wat hem bezig hield.

  • Cabaret Moet Tegen De Haren Instrijken”
    “Cabaret moet tegen de haren instrijken” Een studie naar het veld van het Nederlandse cabaret aan de hand van de veldtheorie van Pierre Bourdieu Theodorus Johannes Hoebink Faculteit der Historische en Kunstwetenschappen Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam Master Sociologie van Kunst en Cultuur Begeleider: Prof.dr. A.M. Bevers Tweede lezer: Prof.dr. M.E. Halbertsma April 2008 Abstract: In het veld van het Nederlandse cabaret is er een levendige discussie gaande over wat goed of slecht cabaret is. In deze discussie nemen cabaretiers verschillende posities in en zij doen uitspraken in de media over cabaret in het algemeen en over de programma’s van hun collega’s. Het doel van deze master these is om te onderzoeken wat de verschillende posities binnen in het Nederlandse cabaret zijn en door wie deze posities worden bekleed. Hierbij wordt er gebruik gemaakt van de veldtheorie van Pierre Bourdieu die stelt dat er in ieder veld van culturele productie sprake is van enkele algemene regels die de houding en gedrag van de positiebekleders kunnen verklaren. Belangrijk hierbij is dat de structuur van ieder cultureel veld wordt bepaald door de strijd tussen culturele producenten uit de autonome hoek van het veld en producenten uit de heteronome hoek van het veld. Autonoom houdt in dat de producent zich puur richt op de kunst om de kunst en commercieel succes bij een groot publiek verdacht is. Heteronoom houdt in dat inmenging van de commercie en de aandacht van een groot publiek niet verdacht is, maar juist een graadmeter voor succes. Een andere tegenstelling die de structuur van een veld bepaald is de tegenstelling tussen een hoge mate van aanzien en een lage mate van aanzien, door Bourdieu consecratie genoemd.

  • Here Is Some Exciting News About a Phenomenal Group of Comics From
    Here is some exciting news about a phenomenal group of comics from The Netherlands who are coming to Bath Fringe Festival on Thursday 31st May AMSTERDAM UNDERGROUND COMEDY COLLECTIVE For the last 15 years, comedian collective Comedytrain has been responsible for every major talent in Holland. The collective has its own comedy club Toomler in Amsterdam – world famous in Holland and a favourite place of top class comedians the world over. The best of the Comedytrain comedians will be performing at this year’s Edinburgh and Bath Fringe Festivals. (Don’t worry, it’s in English!) Hans Teeuwen (www.hansteeuwen.net) Arguably the most influential comedian Holland has ever seen, Hans has single-handedly changed the whole comedy scene in Holland, destroying the last remaining taboos in the process. Absurdist, very fast and not for the easily offended. Theo Maassen (www.theomaassen.nl, www.theomaassen.net) Theo manages to hit important themes through a bombardment of jokes and is also famous in Holland for his acting. A massive talent that is looking for new challenges. Hans Sibbel (www.comedytrain.nl, www.harrykies.nl) Highly energetic comedian who has had his own New Years Eve television show for the last 4 years. Ronald Goedemondt Ronald is stand-up comedy. Childishly naïve, shockingly honest and most of all hilarious. His impersonations spot on, his English impeccable. Micha Wertheim Highly intelligent, humblingly intelligent, maybe even too intelligent, but so funny! From his pedestal of knowledge and IQ he overlooks the world and gives you insights you would never have dreamed to think of yourself.

In January 2011, the scheduling plans of Britain’s biggest TV station, BBC 1, were leaked to the press. After the recent success of BBC comedies such as Outnumbered and My Family, BBC1 Controller Danny Cohen apparently told his team of producers that BBC Comedy was becoming ‘too middle class’, and failing in its responsibility to appeal to working class viewers (Gammell, 2011; Revoir, 2011; Leith, 2011).

  • Television and Taste Hierarchy: the Case of Dutch Television Comedy
    Television and taste hierarchy: The case of Dutch television comedy When applied to television, the classical distinction between highbrow and lowbrow culture does not seem to make much sense. Such hierarchical ranking of taste, drawing a clear boundary between difficult and sophisticated highbrow taste and accessible, entertaining popular taste, seems to lose much of its validity when confronted with television’s fragmented and eclectic mixture of information and entertainment; art, play and commerce. In fact, most of television’s fare consists of what is generally subsumed under the heading of popular or lowbrow culture: the large majority of television programming consists of popular entertainment genres such as comedy, soap, popular drama, pop music, or sports. There is a tendency, both in common sense and in academic thought, to simply write off the whole medium as lowbrow and popular (Seiter 1999, esp. 1-6). A very striking example, both of the low status of TV, and the (academic) prejudice against the medium, can be found in Pierre Bourdieu’s Distinction (1984). Distinction, probably the most influential work on hierarchies of taste, describes taste differences between upper, middle and working classes in France. In what is probably the central figure of the book, showing the relationship between taste, economic capital (money) and cultural capital (education), newspapers, music and movie actors are mentioned individually, and occupy very different positions (Bourdieu 1984: 128-129). However, there are no television programs in this figure. Instead, only the medium itself is in the figure, and it is somewhere down in the middle, close to potatoes, sports fishing, ordinary red wine, foremen, and an income of 21,000 franks, which is well below average.
