The development of British menswear during the first phase of the Peacock Revolution from 1960 to 1965 demonstrated a significant visual change in the representation of masculinity. Examining the elements that helped shape this moment in style indicates a deep rooted relationship between a group of upper class dandies and rock music icons. This practice-based study addresses gaps in existing research, qualitatively exploring the collaborative role of fashion and music that supported the progression of menswear. The methodological framework investigates the process of sociocultural evolution through the study of memetics, accompanied by a semiotic analysis of oppositional dress. Bricolage was applied as a method of shaping and applying new meaning to the themes investigated in this research, expressing the potential of music to serve as a vehicle for change. An interactive audio-visual installation piece has been created to stimulate audience participation, encouraging the public to question more generally how fashion and music collaborate to facilitate shifts in identity.

The journalistic profession has long since entered an age where technology and audience participation are two of its most defining factors. Changes that were brought about by the advent of WEB 2.0 transformed journalism – among other professions – fundamentally, and opened the gates to a more connected future, one in which the lines between content producer and content consumer are far less defined than they used to be. One of the more promising technologies of this new era is that of chatbots and conversational agents. These multifaceted programs have proven to be extremely useful in many aspects of modern journalism, with some of them getting used in scenarios that go as far as trying to replace the traditional role of the journalist as we know it. As such, the influence of these programs has also spread to the field of audience interaction and participatory journalism. This article aims to underline the integral role that chatbots play within the confines of the journalistic profession, while at the same time explore the significant effects they have in the field of audience participation and communication between the journalist and the public in general. To achieve this goal a model chatbot was created in order to demonstrate the benefits of automating the process of filing and transferring a report on account of the public to the news organization.

Chapter 2 studies how the flapper, the archetypical modern girl, was construed by popular culture in the 1920s and 1930s. Mass media was engaged in a debate about the defining traits of the American flapper and her Argentine counterpart. While the flapper inhabited a distant land, the joven moderna combined popular fashions and mannerisms both foreign and domestic. Portrayed as an upper-class character, she went beyond the traditional female role of the devoted daughter. An oversimplified media construction, the Argentine flapper alerted the public of the dangerous effects of international consumer capitalism and Americanization on gender and national identity.

Paraguayan War

Abstract This essay examines the role of upper-class Brazilian women (patrícias) in the public sphere during and after the Paraguayan War (1864–70). Barred from formal citizenship by the Constitution of 1824, upper-class women developed a form of “delicate citizenship” through which they projected themselves onto the national stage. In support of the war effort, they organized fund drives and sent uniforms and other supplies to the front. Following Brazil’s victory, they sponsored parades and other public festivities in honor of the returning troops. While hailing the army’s achievements in Paraguay, the victory celebrations also stressed the theme of peacetime demobilization and the return of the troops to their civilian roles and identities. Such demobilization would reduce or eliminate the potential political role of the veterans, drawn overwhelmingly from the country’s working-class and slave populations, and reaffirm the principles of monarchical rule and social inequality. Particularly important in the symbolism of the victory celebrations was Ana Néri, an upper-class widow and mother from Bahia who served as a nurse in Paraguay. Publicly embraced as the “mãe dos brasileiros” (mother of Brazilians), her embodiment of the female virtues of tenderness, caring, and self-sacrifice made her the perfect exemplar of the patricias’ movement and of delicate citizenship.

This paper analyses the interactions between journalists and the public in Brazilian and French online newsrooms. The study discusses the new modalities of audience participation in journalism. Thus, it aims to understand the possible changes in this relation. The role of national contexts on structuring the practices of journalism and the public is also considered. This comparative and qualitative research is focused on in-depth interviews with 10 journalists from each country and used a common guide. The results reveal resemblances on how journalists enunciate their interactions with public from both countries: their representations are stereotyped and audiences are perceived through a quantitative bias. These findings reinforce other studies that minimize the ability of online newsrooms to integrate the public. From the viewpoint of comparative studies, our hypothesis of a transnational identity of online journalists is strengthened. This hypothesis is mainly based on the circulation of structured discourses related to this practice.

Badan Kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana Nasional (BKKBN) which informs the welfare of the community in reducing the amount of population density in Indonesia. However, the majority of BKKBN advertisements illustrate how women's roles are always responsible for household needs, activities and problems. This is an important concern to know about how BKKBN advertisements convey the message described through these public service advertisements. This study uses qualitative methods and semiotic analysis from Charles Sanders Pierce as an focus analysis. The object of the research is advertisements from BKKBN, namely the advertisement version of “GenRe (Generasi berencana)”, “KB Mandiri”, “2 Anak Lebih Baik”, “4 terlalu dekat 3 terlalu terlambat” dan “Pernikahan Dini”. The results showed that the advertisements from the BKKBN illustrate gender bias. Where the responsibility of the household and the negative risks in marriage are more borne by women. In addition, in these advertisements, it is illustrated that violence against women still occurs a lot. Therefore BKKBN advertisements must pay attention to the formation of messages and impressions on their advertisements. Instead of prospering the people in terms of population density, these ads represent a biased role of women.Keywords: BKKBN, public service advertisements, gender, semiotics.ABSTRAKTujuan dari iklan layanan masyarakat adalah untuk menginformasikan dan mengedukasi masyarakat agar hidup masyarakat semakin sejahtera. Serupa halnya dengan Badan Kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana Nasional (BKKBN) yang menginformasikan kesejahteraan masyarakat dalam mengurangi jumlah kepadatan penduduk di Indonesia. Akan tetapi mayoritas iklan BKKBN menggambarkan bagaimana peran perempuan selalu yang menjadi penanggung jawab penuh atas kebutuhan, kegiatan dan permasalahan rumah tangga. Hal ini menjadi perhatian penting untuk diketahui tentang bagaimana iklan BKKBN menyampaikan pesan yang digambarkan melalui iklan yang bersifat layanan masyarakat ini. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dan analisis semiotika dari Charles Sanders Pierce sebagai pisau analisis. Objek penelitiannya adalah iklan-iklan dari BKKBN yaitu yaitu iklan versi “GenRe (Generasi berencana)”, “KB Mandiri”, “2 Anak Lebih Baik”, “4 terlalu dekat 3 terlalu terlambat” dan “Pernikahan Dini”. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa iklan-iklan dari BKKBN tersebut menggambarkan adanya bias jender. Dimana tanggungjawab rumah tangga dan resiko negatif dalam berumah tangga lebih banyak tanggung oleh perempuan. Selain itu, dalam iklan-iklan tersebut digambarkan bahwa kekerasan pada perempuan masih banyak terjadi. Oleh sebab itu iklan BKKBN harus memperhatikan pembentukan pesan dan kesan pada iklannya. Alih-alih mensejahterakan rakyat dalam hal kepadatan penduduk, iklan tersebut justru merepresentasikan peran perempuan yang bias.Kata Kunci: BKKBN, iklan layanan masyarakat, gender, semiotika.

E-governance is a paradigm shift over the traditional approaches in Public Administration which means rendering of government services and information to the public by using electronic means. In the past decades, service quality and responsiveness of the government towards the citizens were least important but with the approach of E-Government the government activities are now well dealt. This paper withdraws experiences from various studies from different countries and projects facing similar challenges which need to be consigned for the successful implementation of e-governance projects. Developing countries like India face poverty and illiteracy as a major obstacle in any form of development which makes it difficult for its government to provide e-services to its people conveniently and fast. It also suggests few suggestions to cope up with the challenges faced while implementing e-projects in India.
