Denna uppsats intresserar sig fÃr professional wrestling och dÃ¥ specifikt bolaget World Wrestling Entertainment, WWE. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersÃka hur nationalitet representeras i World Wrestling Entertainments produkt. Uppsatsens teoretiska ramverk bestÃ¥r utav tre olika fÃrfattare. Dessa tre är Michael Billig, Stuart Hall och Roland Barthes. FrÃ¥n Michael Billig används begreppen 'hot and banal nationalism' fÃr att definiera nationalism. FrÃ¥n Stuart Hall hämtas teorier om 'representation', vad det är och hur det fungerar samt olika perspektiv pÃ¥ varfÃr det är intressant att studera 'olikhet'. Slutligen använder sig uppsatsen utav Roland Barthes artikel Le monde où l'on catche, the World of Wrestling i den engelska Ãversättningen, som analyserar wrestling pÃ¥ ett semiotiskt vis. MÃ¥nga av de teorier som Barthes presenterar i denna artikel är relevanta än idag trots att han skrev artikeln pÃ¥ 1950-talet. Uppsatsens frÃ¥geställning kommer att undersÃkas genom en multimodal analys. En multimodal analys lämpar sig väl fÃr ett sÃ¥ visuellt fenomen som wrestling. Det mÃjliggÃr även fÃr studier av de rent textuella elementen i programmen och inte bara det visuella. Materialet bestÃ¥r utav de inledande videomontagen frÃ¥n tvÃ¥ olika wrestlingmatcher. BÃ¥da matcherna är hämtade frÃ¥n WWEs stÃrsta Ã¥rliga pay-per-view Wrestlemania som gÃ¥tt av stapeln varje Ã¥r sedan Ã¥r 1985. Den ena matchen är hämtad frÃ¥n Wrestlemania 29 Ã¥r 2013 och den andra är hämtad frÃ¥n Wrestlemania 31 Ã¥r 2015. BÃ¥da matcherna inkluderar icke-amerikanska karaktärer. Den fÃrsta matchen ser amerikanen Jack Swagger mÃta mexikanen Alberto Del Rio och den andra matchen ser amerikanen John Cena mÃta den ryske Rusev. Efter analysen kunde slutsatsen dras att vad gällde de matcher som analyserats framställdes de ickeamerikanska karaktärerna varken positivt eller negativt. Vad analysen lyckades komma fram till var att de icke-amerikanska karaktärerna var där fÃr att reproducera en bild av den amerikanska nationella identiteten och att de icke-amerikanska karaktärernas nationaliteter egentligen inte var relevanta. Det relevanta var det faktum att de var just icke-amerikaner. Deras faktiska nationaliteter behandlades inte i nÃ¥gon stÃrre utsträckning i materialet. Materialet verkade mest kretsa kring USA och dess nationella identitet.

Given the popularity of Korean television dramas among various age groups in other countries, one would expect to see a similar pattern of consumption across different ages in China. Instead, we see high levels of consumption of Korean dramas by a very specific demographic. Why do young Chinese females consume Korean dramas at such high levels? I argue that young Chinese womenâs heavy consumption of Korean dramas that portray a particular aesthetic of self and familial resolution may be explained by a need to redress contemporary psychological issues related to gendered self-identity. I posit that the identity formation processes of this particular demographic has been shaped by changes in family dynamics that stem from social and political restructuring in the 1980s, particularly the one-child policy. Thus, this thesis explores how the consumption of Korean dramas by young females in China may be understood as an implicit interrogation of gendered identity.

In this study, the portrayal of tanned skin and sun protection in magazines, television programs, and movies popular with Australian adolescents were analyzed. Images of models in magazines (n = 1,791), regular/supporting characters in television programs (it = 867), and regular/supporting characters in cinema movies (n = 2,836) for the 12-month period August 1999 to July 2000 were coded and analyzed. Alight tan was the most predominant tan level, and protective clothing was the most common sun protection measure displayed across all forms of media. There were significant associations between gender and tan levels in the television and movie samples. Although it is important to monitor the portrayal of tan levels and sun protection measures in media targeting adolescents, overall, the authors' findings revealed a media environment generally supportive of sun protection objectives.

This paper examines the contributions of John Clarke to the field of political satire through his interviews with straight-man Bryan Dawe on ABC TVâs The 7.30 Report. Clarkeâs work represents one of the last vestiges of what was once a vigorous satiric tradition in TV comedy, specifically the practice of political caricature. There was The Mavis Bramston Show in the 1960s and The Naked Vicar Show in the 1970s, while The Gillies Report in the 1980s was probably the best example of sustained political caricature in television comedy. Even in later sketch-based shows such as Fast Forward and The Late Show in the early 1990s, political caricature was a significant component of the material, whereas it seems to have all but disappeared from current television comedy. The paper investigates the disappearance of this type of comedy from Australian television screens and also discusses why the longevity, consistency, not to mention accuracy, of Clarkeâs satire is so important in the current political climate. Clarkeâs political caricature is almost entirely language-based, expertly parodying the spin-doctored rhetoric of our elected representatives and business leaders. This leads to a secondary focus of the paper, which is a discussion of Clarkeâs unique form of satire in the context of what an historian (and former satirist) identifies as â˜the decay of public languageâ.
