Populist Party

The issue of the relationship between pirate parties and populism has not yet been adequately resolved. This article aims to answer this question: Regarding its communication, is it possible to classify the Czech Pirate Party as a populist party? For that purpose, the Pirates’ communication has been contextualized in a comparative perspective with the Czech parties ANO and SPD, which are commonly considered populist. The study uses qualitative and quantitative content analysis and the principle of triplets to measure populism. Among other things, the analysis indicates that the level of populism in the communication of the Pirates is negligible and the party cannot be identified as populist. Moreover, the anti-establishment appeal does not prevail in the communication either. In this respect, however, the communication of the Pirates has significantly changed after entering the Parliament.

The Subject

Although content analysis has traditionally been considered a quantitative method, it has been advocated in the methodological literature for its use in qualitative form as early as the middle of the 20th century. Nevertheless, much less methodological knowledge is available on the characteristics of qualitative content analysis and its application than on quantitative content analysis. The subject of this paper is a presentation of performing qualitative content analysis. First, different views of the qualitative form of the method are given, since there is no unique definition. Then, the basic steps of qualitative content analysis are presented, that is, the stages of application of the procedure, on which there is also no agreement, but no essential differences. Particular attention has been paid to the deductive and inductive approach of determining the categories of classification. The application of qualitative content analysis is illustrated by a survey of nostalgia of Serbian immigrants living in the Nordic countries. Finally, concluding considerations on performing a qualitative content analysis are summarized and the challenges ahead.

The Relationship

For years those who have looked for the contribution of religion to the “spirit of capitalism” have concentrated on the English Puritans and their Calvinist counterparts elsewhere. Those scholars have relied on literary evidence to make their points, and to establish the relationship between Calvinist doctrines or assumptions and an ascetic and compulsive devotion to work. It came as a surprise, therefore, when a rigorously quantitative content analysis of the most popular religious books of Restoration England showed just the opposite—that the most self-consciously “Anglican” authors were those who placed the most emphasis upon work and worldly enterprise as a religious duty. They were also able to integrate this duty with the rest of their theology in a more straightforward, logical manner than the Puritans, for whom the connection is thought to have been psychological, mediated by religious anxiety. Work was, for the most popular Anglican authors, part of a moralistic religion of works. We can even say that such an emphasis was adopted at just the time when Anglicans were facing up to a change in the status of their church and adopting attitudes more characteristic of members of a movement or denomination, which helps to explain why work and effort were coming to seem more important to them.There have been numerous lines of criticism of Max Weber's thesis connecting the doctrine of evangelical conversion and the spirit of economic enterprise. But since the following approach and alternative suggestions do not build on them, we must go back again to Weber's own classic formulation.

Abstract The second presentation will cover integrating qualitative and quantitative content analysis for addressing 'why' and 'how' as well as 'what' questions relating to monitoring and assessing interim and instrumental outcomes achieved or not achieved in public health initiatives and programs. Steps for developing meaningful scoring systems for synthesizing the review of multiple types of documents will be described. Examples will be given from global health engagement projects with the development or strengthening of partnerships as a key objective. Using document review as a management tool in integrating strategic planning, monitoring, and evaluation will be discussed, as a way of assessing the gaps between planning and evaluation and strengthening their relationship.

This chapter discusses the principles of textual analysis as a means of gathering information and evidence in political research. Textual analysis has generated strong interest as a research method not only in Politics and International Relations, but also throughout the social sciences. In political research, two forms of textual analysis have become particularly prominent: discourse analysis and content analysis. The chapter examines discourse analysis and content analysis and explains the use of documents, archival sources, and historical writing as data. It considers the distinction between discourse analysis and content analysis, as well as the differences between qualitative and quantitative content analysis. It also describes the procedures that are involved in both quantitative and qualitative content analysis.

The purpose of this study was to investigate: (a) the characteristics of online students’ cognitive presence in a peer-facilitated discussion environment, and (b) the peer facilitation techniques that enhance cognitive presence development. In this study, we examined 738 discussion messages. Analytic methods included both qualitative and quantitative content analysis. The findings revealed that although cognitive presence was detected in most discussion messages, they aggregated at a lower level. The involvement of peer facilitators was found to correlate with students’ higher-level cognitive presence. In addition, we found that types of initiating questions asked by peer facilitators positively affected the level of cognitive presence. We also explored the facilitation techniques used by peer facilitators that aim to promote students’ cognitive presence.

With changes in the media environment, theatre critics are not only responsible for communicating with theatre visitors, but also any individual who decides to publish in the media, whether it is a professional media or a self-created platform – blog. The aim of the research of the article “Theatre blogs in Latvia: content features” is to find out what are the most characteristic features of the content and the most frequently used functions of theatre criticism in the most active theatre blogs in Latvia. Qualitative and quantitative content analysis was used to analyse the content of the five most active theatre blogs in Latvia in the period from 2018 to 2019. The study found that the content of all five blogs correspond to descriptive material about the content of the performance, actors, and scenography and are supplemented by the author’s personal assessment, which is mainly highly emotional. Among the most frequently used functions of theatre criticism in blogs are documentation, evaluation, interpretation, sharing experiences, commenting, and motivating readers to attend the show. It was concluded that the theatre criticism appearance into the contentof blogs provides a new form of reviews, providing both benefits and risks to the criticism. More attention should be paid to the arrangement and development of blog culture in Latvia and the use of the advantages of digital platforms for both professionals and bloggers to improve their material and attract an audience.
