Simon Fraser University Library Simon Fraser University Burnaby, BC, Canada Last update: Spring 2010 ABSTRACT The dynamic landscape of global communications continues to present new challenges for the design and analysis of media and communication within international development projects. This Masters project uses video and web technology to document, explore and extend the role of communication in a Canadian International Development Agency funded HIV and AIDS stigma reduction project in Ghana, West Africa. The project includes a documentary video entitled: The Challenge of Stigma: Reflections on community education as a pathway to change. The video looks at the situation of AIDS related stigma in Ghana and draws from 50 interviews to highlight the University teacher-training program delivering HIV/AIDS education through distance learning. A collaborative production process is detailed in this project report in efforts to discuss project challenges as well as propose experimental online architecture for open collaborative media production and communication for development strategies.

(Akan Proverb) “The Challenge of Stigma: Reflections on community education as a pathway to change” is a 22-minute documentary video (Appendix 1). It is the cornerstone of this Communication Masters Project and brings together research and contributions from many different people and organisations. My research and documentary video work is situated within the context of a University partnership project between; Simon Fraser University (SFU) in Vancouver, Canada, the University of Ghana, Legon (UG), the University of Cape Coast (UCC), and the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), all in Ghana. The project administration occurs primarily within the Distance and Continuing Education Departments in all of the partner schools. Since 2003, all four Universities have collectively worked towards HIV prevention and AIDS stigma reduction in Ghana. The project Directors have set out to achieve this through: (1) building Ghanaian universities’ institutional capacity to design and deliver an HIV distance education course; (2) developing materials and instruction methods for HIV education; and (3) training schoolteachers and community youth facilitators to deliver HIV education to school children and out of school youth. The education project is funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and financially administered by the Association of Universities and Colleges of 1 Canada (AUCC) (SFU,2008).

  • In Defense of Genre Blending
    In Defense of Genre Blending. Author Affiliation Sarah E. Worth and Furman University, U.S. Sean McBratnie Abstract: Readers often only care about one distinction when it comes to things they read. Is it fiction or nonfiction? Did it happen or didn’t it? Presumably, we make sense of events we believe happened in a different way than we make sense of the ones that we don’t believe. Deconstructionists often warn us about the hazards that occur with the strict binary thinking we tend to orient ourselves with. When this binary is blurred, which it often is in many contemporary works of literature, readers become unsettled. It is our position that genre, and even the more broad categories of fiction and nonfiction, should not be found exclusively as properties internal to the text itself, but rather, the way we make sense of genre is an active process of narrative comprehension. We will question how the particular binary concerning fiction and nonfiction has sold us short concerning the ways in which we make sense of literary texts, and how much more fluid our notions of genre really could and should be. We also want to argue that the reduction of the binary of genre merely into fiction and nonfiction is a gross oversimplification of the ways in which we understand both genres themselves, as well as the ways in which we understand both truth and reference. Readers seem to care an awful lot about the apparent truth content of the books they choose. Is it fiction or non-fiction? Did it happen or did it not? Presumably, readers make sense of events they believe happened in a differ- ent way than they make sense of the ones that they don’t believe happened.

  • A Socio-Economic Study of the Camorra Through Journalism
    A SOCIO-ECONOMIC STUDY OF THE CAMORRA THROUGH JOURNALISM, RELIGION AND FILM by ROBERT SHELTON BELLEW (under the direction of Thomas E. Peterson) ABSTRACT This dissertation is a socio-economic study of the Camorra as portrayed through Roberto Saviano‘s book Gomorra: Viaggio nell'impero economico e nel sogno di dominio della Camorra and Matteo Garrone‘s film, Gomorra. It is difficult to classify Saviano‘s book. Some scholars have labeled Gomorra a ―docufiction‖, suggesting that Saviano took poetic freedoms with his first-person triune accounts. He employs a prose and news reporting style to narrate the story of the Camorra exposing its territory and business connections. The crime organization is studied through Italian journalism, globalized economics, eschatology and neorealistic film. In addition to igniting a cultural debate, Saviano‘s book has fomented a scholarly consideration on the innovativeness of his narrative style. Wu Ming 1 and Alessandro Dal Lago epitomize the two opposing literary camps. Saviano was not yet a licensed reporter when he wrote the book. Unlike the tradition of news reporting in the United States, Italy does not have an established school for professional journalism instruction. In fact, the majority of Italy‘s leading journalists are writers or politicians by trade who have gravitated into the realm of news reporting. There is a heavy literary influence in Italian journalism that would be viewed as too biased for Anglo- American journalists. Yet, this style of writing has produced excellent material for a rich literary production that can be called engagé or political literature. A study of Gomorra will provide information about the impact of the book on current Italian journalism.
