Book Diverse mediawerelden

Download or read book Diverse mediawerelden written by Sofie van Bauwel and published by Academia Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diversiteit stond centraal in het onderzoek en onderwijs van wijlen Prof. dr. Frieda Saeys (hoogleraar Communicatiewetenschappen Universiteit Gent 1948-2007) en is het kernconcept waarrond het boek Diverse mediawerelden. Het boek neemt je mee langs vier thema's, behandelt de wereld van media vanuit diverse invalshoeken en methoden, zowel op macro- als microniveau, en biedt bovendien een overzicht van hedendaags onderzoek rond deze thematiek. De eerste twee delen spitsen zich toe op de studie van de audiovisuele mediastructuren en de mediabeleidsproblemen die daaraan verbonden zijn. In 'Diversiteit en minderheden', het derde deel van het boek, worden een aantal bijdragen gebundeld die zich focussen op de problematiek rond media en etnische minderheden. Saeys betrad ook als eerste het onderzoeksdomein dat zich toespitst op gender en media, en de laatste drie bijdragen focussen zich dan daarop.

Book Mapping Movie Magazines

Download or read book Mapping Movie Magazines written by Daniel Biltereyst and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-30 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Movie magazines are crucial but widely underused sources for writing the history of films and cinema. This volume brings together for the first time a wide variety of historic research of movie magazines and film trade journals, reflecting on the issue of using these sources for film/cinema historiography and on the impact of digitization processes. Mapping Movie Magazines explores this debate from different disciplinary perspectives, enlightened by case studies from the use of early film trade press to pedagogical uses of digitized periodicals. The volume explores Hollywood’s grip on movie magazines, gender in film journalism, typologies of unknown trade press and movie magazine markets, and subversive Tijuana bibles.

Book The Challenge of Slums

Download or read book The Challenge of Slums written by United Nations Human Settlements Programme and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Challenge of Slums presents the first global assessment of slums, emphasizing their problems and prospects. Using a newly formulated operational definition of slums, it presents estimates of the number of urban slum dwellers and examines the factors at all level, from local to global, that underlie the formation of slums as well as their social, spatial and economic characteristics and dynamics. It goes on to evaluate the principal policy responses to the slum challenge of the last few decades. From this assessment, the immensity of the challenges that slums pose is clear. Almost 1 billion people live in slums, the majority in the developing world where over 40 per cent of the urban population are slum dwellers. The number is growing and will continue to increase unless there is serious and concerted action by municipal authorities, governments, civil society and the international community. This report points the way forward and identifies the most promising approaches to achieving the United Nations Millennium Declaration targets for improving the lives of slum dwellers by scaling up participatory slum upgrading and poverty reduction programmes. The Global Report on Human Settlements is the most authoritative and up-to-date assessment of conditions and trends in the world's cities. Written in clear language and supported by informative graphics, case studies and extensive statistical data, it will be an essential tool and reference for researchers, academics, planners, public authorities and civil society organizations around the world.

This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coming of age of audiovisual translation studies has brought about a much-needed surge of studies focusing on the audience, their comprehension, appreciation or rejection of what reaches them through the medium of translation. Although complex to perform, studies on the reception of translated audiovisual texts offer a uniquely thorough picture of the life and afterlife of these texts. This volume provides a detailed and comprehensive overview of reception studies related to audiovisual translation and accessibility, from a diachronic and synchronic perspective. Focusing on all audiovisual translation techniques and encompassing theoretical and methodological approaches from translation, media and film studies, it aims to become a reference for students and scholars across these fields.
