  • Politics in Fictional Entertainment: an Empirical Classification of Movies and TV Series
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OPUS Augsburg International Journal of Communication 9(2015), 1563–1587 1932–8036/20150005 Politics in Fictional Entertainment: An Empirical Classification of Movies and TV Series CHRISTIANE EILDERS CORDULA NITSCH University of Duesseldorf, Germany This article presents conceptual considerations on the classification of TV series and movies according to their political references and introduces an empirical approach for measuring the constituent features. We argue that political representations in fiction vary along two dimensions: political intensity and degree of realism. These dimensions encompass four indicators relating to characters, places, themes, and time. The indicators were coded for a sample of 98 TV series and 114 movies. Cluster analyses showed four clusters of TV series and six clusters of movies. Nonpolitical fiction, thrillers, and fantasy were central types in both TV series and movies. Movies, however, stand out through a greater diversity and a focus on the past that is reflected in three additional types. Based on the identification of different types of movies and TV series, three directions for theory building are suggested. Keywords: fictional entertainment, TV series, movies, classification, political intensity, degree of realism As the lines between information and entertainment become increasingly blurred, scholarly attention is not only directed to entertainment features in information programs but extends to information in entertainment programs. The latter especially regards the pictures of reality that are constructed in the respective programs. Attention is directed to both the identification of such pictures and the assessment of their possible effects.

  • Joseph Conrad
    Joseph Conrad Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, Joseph Conrad Polish: [ˈjuzɛf tɛˈɔdɔr ˈkɔnrat kɔʐɛˈɲɔfskʲi] ( listen); 3 December 1857 – 3 August 1924) was a Polish-British writer[1][note 1] regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language.[2] Though he did not speak English fluently until his twenties, he was a master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature.[note 2] Conrad wrote stories and novels, many with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of what he saw as an impassive, inscrutable universe.[note 3] Conrad is considered an early modernist,[note 4] though his works contain elements of 19th-century realism.[3] His narrative style and anti-heroic characters[4] have influenced numerous authors, and many films have been adapted from, or inspired by, his works. Numerous writers and critics have commented that Conrad's fictional works, written largely in the first two decades of the 20th century, seem to have anticipated later world events.[5][6] Conrad in 1904 Writing near the peak of the British Empire, Conrad drew, among by George Charles Beresford other things, on his native Poland's national Born Józef Teodor Konrad [7]:290, 352[note 5] experiences and on his own experiences in the Korzeniowski French and British merchant navies, to create short stories and 3 December 1857 novels that reflect aspects of a European-dominated world— Berdychiv, Russian including imperialism and colonialism—and that profoundly Empire explore

Here is the 2017 summer newsletter, containing information on events in the department, political humor, bios of alumni, and notes on the activities and accomplishments of our students. The department is thriving, there are now more than 500 Political Science and International Relations.

We continue to send students all over the world for study-abroad experiences (and we bring most of them back), and students are engaged in a large number of academic and co- curricular activities. Based on what I have seen thus far I anticipate we will welcome a very large class of Political Science and International Relations majors in September 2017. 43 Alumni Newsletter June 2017 Senior Dinner Alumni at the Senior Dinner Alumni at the Senior Dinner The Department held its annual Senior/Honors award for outstanding internship.
