    Examensarbete 15 hp – Journalistik Nyheter på 10 sekunder En socialsemiotisk analys av CNNs stories på Snapchat Författare: Emma Öst Författare: Esmeralda Johansson Handledare: Mikael Rinaldo Examinator: Anette Forsberg Termin: HT15 Ämne: Journalistik Nivå: Kandidat Abstract Author: Emma Öst Author: Esmeralda Johansson Title: News in ten seconds. A social semiotic analysis of CNN’s stories on Snapchat. Location: Linnaeus University Language: Swedish Number of pages: 35 Journalism as we know it today is facing massive change. Technological advances have enabled new ways of delivering news which differ from traditional means in both practical and content-related matters. This bachelors thesis intended to obtain greater understanding of how journalistic content manifested itself on the new media platform Snapchat. We chose to conduct a socialsemiotic analysis of six of CNNs “stories” on the platform and their corresponding content on CNNs website. By doing this we could distinguish a signifigant change in both magnitude and form. Compared to the corresponding content the stories contained less information and indicated a higher level of sensation and dramatics. In addition we found that information not conveyed in the stories text could appear in other modalities such as image or music. This suggests a different way of storytelling in news media when distributed on this new platform.

    Cultural Studies and the Un/Popular How the Ass-Kicking Work of Steven Seagal May Wrist- Break Our Paradigms of Culture Dietmar Meinel ‘Steven Seagal. Action Film. USA 2008.’ —German TV Guide The first foreigner to run an aikido dojo in Japan, declared the reincarna- tion of a Buddhist lama, blackmailed by the mob, environmental activist, small-town sheriff, owner of a brand of energy drinks, film producer, writer, musician, and lead in his first film (cf. Vern vii), 1980s martial arts action film star Steven Segal is a fascinating but often contradictory figure. Yet, Seagal is strikingly absent from the contemporary revival of seasoned action-film heroes such as Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren, and Chuck Norris in The Expendables (2010), The Expendables 2 (2012), and The Expendables 3 (2014). In contrast, ‘starring’ in up to four direct-to-video releases each year over the last decade, Seagal has become a successful entrepreneur of B movies. The (very) low production values of these films, however, highlight rather than conceal his physical demise as incongruent, confusing, and Godard-style editing replaces the fast-paced martial arts action of earlier movies. While his bulky body has become a disheartening memento of his glorious past, his uncompromising commitment to spiritual enlighten- ment and environmental protection arguably elevates him above the mere ridiculousness of his films. In this essay, I will explore Seagal and his oeuvre as he moved from ac- claimed martial arts action star to bizarre media figure in order to devise a framework for un/popular culture.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. EDDIE MURPHY IN THE CUT: RACE, CLASS, CULTURE, AND 1980S FILM COMEDY by GAIL A. MCFARLAND Under the Direction of Lia T. Bascomb, PhD ABSTRACT Race, class, and politics in film comedy have been debated in the field of African American culture and aesthetics, with scholars and filmmakers arguing the merits of narrative space without adequately addressing the issue of subversive agency of aesthetic expression by black film comedians. With special attention to the 1980-1989 work of comedian Eddie Murphy, this study will look at the film and television work found in this moment as an incisive cut in traditional Hollywood industry and narrative practices in order to show black comedic agency through aesthetic and cinematic narrative subversion. Through close examination of the film, Beverly Hills Cop (Brest, 1984), this project works to shed new light on the cinematic and standup trickster influences of comedy, and the little recognized existence of the 1980s as a decade that defines a base period for chronicling and inspecting the black aesthetic narrative subversion of American film comedy.

  • The Rebirth of Slick: Clinton, Travolta, and Recuperations of Hard-Body Nationhood in the 1990S
    THE REBIRTH OF SLICK: CLINTON, TRAVOLTA, AND RECUPERATIONS OF HARD-BODY NATIONHOOD IN THE 1990S Nathan Titman A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Dr. Simon Morgan-Russell, Advisor Dr. Philip Terrie ii ABSTRACT Simon Morgan-Russell, Advisor This thesis analyzes the characters and performances of John Travolta throughout the 1990s and examines how the actor's celebrity persona comments on the shifting meanings of masculinity that emerged in a post-Reagan cultural landscape. A critical analysis of President Clinton's multiple identities⎯in terms of gender, class, and race⎯demonstrates that his popularity in the 1990s resulted from his ability to continue Reagan's "hard-body" masculine national identity while seemingly responding to its more radical aspects. The paper examines how Travolta's own complex identity contributes to the emergent "sensitive patriarch" model for American masculinity that allows contradictory attitudes and identities to coexist. Starting with his iconic turn in 1977's Saturday Night Fever, a diachronic analysis of Travolta's film career shows that his ability to convey femininity, blackness, and working-class experience alongside more normative signifiers of white middle-class masculinity explains why he failed to satisfy the "hard-body" aesthetic of the 1980s, yet reemerged as a valued Hollywood commodity after neoconservative social concerns began emphasizing family values and white male responsibility in the 1990s. A study of the roles that Travolta played in the 1990s demonstrates that he, like Clinton, represented the white male body's potential to act as the benevolent patriarchal figure in a culture increasingly cognizant of its diversity, while justifying the continued cultural dominance of white middle-class males.

  • Hollywood Heavyweight Sylvester Stallone Stars in This Riveting Crime Thriller!
    Hollywood heavyweight Sylvester Stallone stars in this riveting crime thriller! Defiant Screen Entertainment is proud to present BACKTRACE, starring action legend and three-time Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone alongside Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket, TVs Stranger Things) and Ryan Guzman (TVs Pretty Little Liars, TVs 9-1-1, Notorious). The film tells the story of a small-town heist that goes horribly wrong leaving only one survivor, MacDonald. But his injuries have left him with amnesia, and he can’t remember the crime or where he stashed the money. When a mysterious trio break him out of hospital, they inject him with an experimental serum to try to solve the million-dollar mystery…but a determined local Detective and a long-forgotten enemy are on their trail and MacDonald’s fractured mind may not survive the drug’s dangerous side effects. Describing his excitement on receiving the script, Director Brian A. Miller says, “The second I got the script, I was immediately attracted to it – the story has a huge action hook. For me it’s extremely exciting because it’s a whodunit, and as you pull that string, it takes you into different places where the audience has no idea where you’re going. But the big finale will blow them away!” When asked about the strength of the cast he put together Miller said, “I’m a huge Stallone fan. When I was a kid I was there for the Rocky films, the Rambo movies, Cobra, anything he did, I was always there catching it. And my dad was a huge Rocky fan.

  • From Betty White to Sandra Bullock, the 10 Stars America Puts the Most Faith In
    The Star Economy Hollywood's Most Trustworthy Celebrities Forbes Staff, 02.08.11, 06:00 AM EST From Betty White to Sandra Bullock, the 10 stars America puts the most faith in. Los Angeles -- Audiences can't seem to get enough of Betty White, whether she's standing at an awards show podium, starring in a sitcom or hosting Saturday Night Live. Turns out they have a tremendous amount of faith in her too, according to E-Poll Market Research, which has named the 89-year-old star among the most trusted celebrities in America. To determine which other stars the public has come to count on, we reached out to the California-based polling company, which ranks more than 6,000 celebrities on 46 different personality attributes, including trustworthiness and likability. "People are hardwired to 'worship' something, and celebrities are akin to modern-day religious icons," says James Houran, a clinical psychologist who researches the topic. "We trust them because we feel we know them--they are familiar and successful, and people want to copy them in an effort to feel successful too." The trouble with this: What we know is simply an on-screen persona, which we subconsciously confuse, or even substitute, for an off-screen one. Very often, that's by design. In a TMZ-fueled culture with a seemingly insatiable appetite for all things celebrity, these stars and the pricey publicity teams that they employ go to great lengths to ensure that details of their private lives remain precisely that. To be sure, some are more successful at it than others (think Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen).
