The Return Of The Serbian Other: Interpretative Repertoires Of Nationalism And Identity Politics In Online News Discourses On Serbia's Integration In The European Union, Jelena Petrovic

Communication ETDs

After more than a decade of political investment in integration, Serbia is still awaiting full membership into the European Union and thus is kept on the periphery of an imagined European community. In this difficult and uncertain process, Serbs have faced fractured national discourses that are inscribed with new forms of liminality encapsulated in an externally ascribed position of "flawed Europeans."This dissertation explores the co-construction of national identities in the context of public debate about the country's integration into the EU on Serbian online news websites. Informed by the theoretical and methodological framework of discursive psychology, this research identified interpretative …

Farming And Fighting As Practice And Pedagogy: A Procedural Field Analysis Of Digital Games, Alexis Pulos

Video games are currently one of the leading entertainment mediums across the globe, with games like Call of Duty: Black Ops (Activision) selling 4.3 million dollars in the first week of sales and adding to the parent company Activision Blizzard's 2011 revenue of 4.9 billion dollars.

Tensions In (Agri)Culture: The Negotiation Of Environmental Dialectics At An Urban Farmers Market', Jason Boys

Communication ETDs

The following study shows how dialectal tensions in environmental discourse are negotiated and serve to create and sustain the culture of an urban farmers market. Using theories of cultural communication as both theoretical grounding and methodology, the author was able to identify and interpret the functions of tensions previously presented by scholars in the field of communication. The principal set of tensions used for data analysis is the three dialectics presented by Milstein (2009) — mastery/harmony, othering/connection, exploitation/idealism. Upon analysis of these dialectics, a reoccurring theme emerged — discursive tension between economic advancement and community advancement. Cultural discourse analysis points …

Contested Knowledges: A Rhetorical Analysis Of 'Eclipses For Austin' By Pablo Vargas Lugo At The Intersection Of Art And Science, Carlos Rodrigo Guzman

Communication ETDs

The debate on whether art has any cognitive value might be traced to the texts of early philosophers and theorists who have approached the matter. In general, art has been constrained to contemplation and aesthetic experience while its contribution to knowledge is often disregarded. Science, on the other hand, constitutes the main system of organized knowledge production and enunciation. Contemporary artistic practices that address scientific knowledge tend to reformulate the latter in order to either produce new experiences with it or expand its cognitive capabilities. The works produced by these practices serve as artifacts that expose science's biases, axiomatic tenets, …

Hashtag Politics: The Polyphonic Revolution Of #Twitter, Bud Davis

Pepperdine Journal of Communication Research

Social media has revolutionized how citizens communicate and interact with each other. President Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign notably demonstrated just how impactful online interconnectivity could be in reaching out to key demographics. More specifically, Twitter has become increasingly popular in achieving communication with constituents while enabling voters to become citizen journalists and active participants in the political process. This paper seeks to trace the evolution of Twitter as a political resource and determine what influence it has in enhancing and inhibiting political communication. By drawing on Kristeva’s concept of intertextuality, I argue that Twitter’s unique functionality contains the potential …
