This study compares several cartoon serials -from middle 60's to middle 70's- with actual cartoon programs, and has the main objective of analyzing if the social concern about the violence representation in children TV programs has provoked substantial changes during the last years. To proceed to that comparison we used the content analysis methodology. Results suggest that there was a bigger presence of violence in the «old» serials when compared to the «actual» ones, despite the language used seems to be more aggressive in the current cartoons. Persecuciones con armas, choques estruendosos, disparos, explosiones, caídas por precipicios, agresiones de lo más diverso, amenazas, imprecaciones e insultos. Estos eran algunos de los ejes recurrentes que guiaban el desarrollo de los espacios televisivos favoritos de los que éramos niños hace unas tres décadas: los dibujos animados. Se trataba de producciones mayoritariamente norteamericanas (las factorías Warner y Hanna-Barbera eran las principales realizadoras) dobladas a una variante del español con modismos y vocabulario algo «diferente» (pero que les otorgaba un sello de identidad) y, hasta mediados de los setenta, obligatoriamente en blanco y negro. En la actualidad se ha visto incrementado notablemente el tiempo que los niños dedican diariamente a ver la televisión. Y (al margen del cumplimiento o no del famoso pacto entre las cadenas televisivas con mayor audiencia), lo cierto es que, probablemente, los dibujos animados, programa infantil por antonomasia, siguen poseyendo un grado de violencia a considerar. Mucho se ha debatido e investigado acerca de la relación entre consumo televisivo y conducta agresiva, sin que se haya llegado a conclusiones definitivas. Pero no es un debate en el que consideremos preciso entrar ahora. En el trabajo que planteamos se pretende comparar las series de dibujos animados de los años 70 con las actuales, con la finalidad de comprobar si la preocupación social en torno a la representación de la violencia presente en los programas infantiles ha propiciado cambios al respecto en los últimos años. Para realizar la selección de las series antiguas, se procederá a hacer un sencillo cuestionario a personas con una edad aproximada de 40 años, preguntándoles qué series de dibujos animados recuerdan de su infancia; como información adicional, además, se les pedirá que indiquen qué recuerdan de cada serie. Con respecto a las series actuales se recogerán los índices de audiencia más recientes y se seleccionarán las más vistas. A continuación, conceptualizaremos el alcance del objeto de estudio –la representación de la violencia– para, posteriormente, realizar un análisis de contenido en diferentes episodios de varias series emitidas durante los 70 (para ello contamos con la reemisión de muchas de ellas en algunos canales de televisión por satélite) y en las series más vistas por los niños actualmente.

<p>This qualitative content analysis research study examines how Margaret Mahy used emotion in the School Journal to form insights into reader appeal, reader response and the social construction of childhood. This research study examines Mahy’s contribution to the School Journal. The study explores this body of work in terms of how its author uses emotion to captivate readers by evoking the feelings associated with childhood. The underlying objective of the study was to provide insights into why Mahy’s work is so treasured and memorable; to explain how she uses emotion to captivate readers, and how this contributes to the social construction of childhood. The prose and poetry Mahy contributed to the School Journal prove to be a significant, rich and uncharted resource for the purposes of this research investigation. Analysis of this body of work has allowed for greater insights and understanding into Mahy’s contribution to children’s literature. It has also allowed for a greater appreciation of how Mahy’s use of emotion contributes to the social construction of childhood. This type of content analysis research study proves to be invaluable in the development of reader’s advisory services to young people. The employment of a content analysis methodology, underpinned by a discourse analysis approach, enabled the emotional narratives of Mahy’s text to be explained and understood. The study’s findings, that lightness and aliveness are the most prevalent and persuasive emotions operating within Mahy’s text, was substantiated through analysis of actual reader responses. This investigation is most applicable to school librarians, children’s librarians and educators. The study has broader implications for the improvement of client interaction and collection development in youth library services</p>

This paper focuses on how fashion products have the capacity of translating social, political and cultural happenings, influencing preferences in dress style and precipitating trends. Based on four case studies, this research explores how cultural and societal developments influence the consumption of dress styles. This includes understanding how garments and accessories associated with social causes are received by consumers. Such knowledge is useful in accurately predicting the likelihood of a trend’s adoption. The data collected from the case studies was sifted via a content analysis methodology. Study findings support that consumers’ identification with the social cause linked to a fashion product significantly increases their adoption as a trend. Furthermore, the study also demonstrates that the presence of a number of actors is needed in order for trends to achieve inception and their subsequent dissemination.

This research delves into the television programs of political info- tainment (politainment) broadcast in 2018 in Spain and analyzes in a particular way the behavior of the infoshow ‘El Intermedio’, as well as the engagement of its social audience on the social network Twitter. For this, a content analysis methodology has been used on the tweets published by the program, the com- ments received and the reactions made by its social audience. The results of the investigation indicate that, as a whole, politainment programs, or those that include spectacular politics, and that are broadcast in the night time slot, have a greater number of followers on their Twitter profiles than those that are broad- cast in the morning, they also concentrate a higher accumulated monthly linear audience. Regarding the analysis of the tweets and comments of ‘El Intermedio’, the colloquial language and the critical and humorous intentionality are pre- dominant while the engagement obtained is scarce as it does not include only viralizing elements that reinforce its messages.

This paper summarizes part of the research developed under the Doctoral Thesis in Museology. It focuses on the 'case study' of a local root museum process: Museu – Biblioteca Condes de Castro Guimarães, the sole institution museum in Cascais for half a century. Based on the epistemological field on Socio-museology research, upon primary sources, secondary and complementary bibliography, we tried to comprehend how the main founders of this institution thought, perceived and established the museological function at its origins. The research was developed in two complementary orientations: on one hand we studied the thoughts and actions of the museum curator João Couto through the content analysis methodology of their scholarly previously published texts. In parallel, we studied the history of the museum starting from the 1930s until the 1940s. This allowed us to perceive that, very early, the social and educational functions were present and continued to be developed over the decades that followed. We demonstrate the relevance of the curator’s work in the the construction of a cultural institution, engaging in social, cultural, and educational pioneering practices to benefit the community, and that we believe influenced the work of Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, in Lisbon. Key-words: Museology; Socio-museology; Education; Local Museums; Community.

This study investigates the preachers and their Friday sermons in Lebanon, raising the following questions: What are the profiles of preachers in Lebanon and their academic qualifications? What are the topics evoked in their sermons? In instances where they diagnosis and analyze the political and the social, what kind of arguments are used to persuade their audiences? What kind of contact do they have with the social sciences? It draws on forty-two semi-structured interviews with preachers and content analysis of 210 preachers’ Friday sermons, all conducted between 2012 and 2015 among Sunni and Shia mosques. Drawing from Max Weber’s typology, the analysis of Friday sermons shows that most of the preachers represent both the saint and the traditional, but rarely the scholar. While they are dealing extensively with political and social phenomena, rarely do they have knowledge of social science
