  • Prisotnost Zdravstvenih Tem V Stripu Alan Ford Diplomsko Delo
    UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŢBENE VEDE Pavle Terzič Prisotnost zdravstvenih tem v stripu Alan Ford Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2012 UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŢBENE VEDE Pavle Terzič Mentorica: doc. dr. Tanja Kamin Prisotnost zdravstvenih tem v stripu Alan Ford Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2012 »Torej, mladi moţ, najprej se moraš naučiti osnovni zakon oglasa: Vse mora biti jasno, tako rekoč enostavno, pravzaprav niti malo zapleteno, ampak natančno in izrazito, vsekakor izzivalno, vsiljivo in rahlo skrivnostno, da vsakdo razume vse na prvi pogled. Jasno?« (Secchi in Raviola 1971i, 56) Zahvala doc. dr. Tanji Kamin za mentorstvo in prijetno izkušnjo v času študija, Violeti, vsem otrokom, ki so se rodili v nekih lepših časih. Prisotnost zdravstvenih tem v stripu Alan Ford Diplomsko delo raziskuje narativne vidike mediatizacije zdravstvenih tveganj v stripu kot mediju. Izhaja iz razmišljanja, da imajo mediji pomembno vlogo pri oblikovanju in posredovanju pomenov o zdravju. Na zastavljeno ključno raziskovalno vprašanje, ki je, katera tveganja za zdravje se pojavljajo v stripu Alan Ford, kako pogosto in v kakšnem kontekstu, poskusim odgovoriti s kvalitativnim pristopom k analizi vsebine vseh prvih izdaj stripa Alan Ford, ki so izšli med leti 1970 in 1980. V kontekstu popularne kulture ţelim ugotoviti, ali strip medijske reprezentacije zdravstvenih tveganj utrjuje, dopolnjuje ali problematizira. Raziskava je potrdila, da mediatizirana zdravstvena tveganja v stripu kot mediju in ţanru popularne kulture obstajajo in sledijo nekaterim drugim znanim zvrstem popularnih tekstov, kot so filmi, oglaševalske vsebine, televizijski programi in časopisi. Izpostavljena tveganja za zdravje so: zloraba alkohola, prekomerna telesna teţa in debelost, kajenje, vpliv okoljskih bremen, uporaba prepovedanih drog, tveganja na delovnem mestu, podhranjenost otrok, zvišan krvni sladkor, telesna neaktivnost, povišan krvni tlak in nezadosten vnos sadja in zelenjave.

  • 2020 Commencement Program.Pdf
    Commencement MAY 2020 WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends: This is an occasion of profoundly mixed emotions for all of us. On one hand, there is the pride, excitement, and immeasurable hope that come with the culmination of years of effort and success at the University of Connecticut. But on the other hand, there is the recognition that this year is different. For the first time since 1914, the University of Connecticut is conferring its graduate and undergraduate degrees without our traditional ceremonies. It is my sincere hope that you see this moment as an opportunity rather than a misfortune. As the Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus observed, “Difficulties show us who we are.” This year our University, our state, our nation, and indeed our world have faced unprecedented difficulties. And now, as you go onward to the next stage of your journey, you have the opportunity to show what you have become in your time at UConn. Remember that the purpose of higher education is not confined to academic achievement; it is also intended to draw from within those essential qualities that make each of us an engaged, fully-formed individual – and a good citizen. There is no higher title that can be conferred in this world, and I know each of you will exemplify it, every day. This is truly a special class that will go on to achieve great things. Among your classmates are the University’s first Rhodes Scholar, the largest number of Goldwater scholars in our history, and outstanding student leaders on issues from climate action to racial justice to mental health.
