Citizen participation in news
No full textThe process of producing news has changed significantly due to the advent of the Web, which has enabled the increasing involvement of citizens in news production. This trend has been given many names, including participatory journalism, produsage, and crowd-sourced journalism, but these terms are ambiguous and have been applied inconsistently, making comparison of news systems difficult. In particular, it is problematic to distinguish the levels of citizen involvement, and therefore the extent to which news production has genuinely been opened up. In this paper we perform an analysis of 32 online news systems, comparing them in terms of how much power they give to citizens at each stage of the news production process. Our analysis reveals a diverse landscape of news systems and shows that they defy simplistic categorisation, but it also provides the means to compare different approaches in a systematic and meaningful way. We combine this with four case studies of individual stories to explore the ways that news stories can move and evolve across this landscape. Our conclusions are that online news systems are complex and interdependent, and that most do not involve citizens to the extent that the terms used to describe them imply

Belonging and not belonging : understanding India in novels by Paul Scott, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and V.S. Naipaul.
No full textPhDThis thesis is essentially about the "how" and "why" of the Indian
experience as documented in novels by Paul Scott, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
and V S Naipaul. The study points to the difficulty of arriving at any
conclusive definition of the country and its people. I show that
differences in attitudes, responses or behaviour are both overt and
subtle, and depend upon whether the writer or the character identifies
with the situation or community with which he or she interacts. It is
the individual's sense of belonging or not belonging to his or her own
group - be this along racial, cultural or gender lines - that accounts
for the differing perspectives evident in these novels. The points-of-
view of the outsider and the insider can therefore be seen as
mutual comments upon the other.
Since the struggle between belonging and not belonging becomes acute
when the old meets the new, focus is centred on communities
experiencing change. These include the British in India, West-Indian
Indians and westernised Indians. Despite their differences, all three
communities share similar reasons for either an acceptance or
rejection of the 'Other'. The thesis argues that the need for
emotional stability compels allegiance to the traditional group, while
the desire for individuality encourages surrender to the new. The
former nurtures a sense of belonging while, it is argued, that the
latter is perceived as the hallmark of those who do not belong.
Tensions arise when both these needs demand to be met. What I show to
be ironic in this struggle between belonging and not belonging is that
those things which individuals overtly reject are often unexpressed
parts of their personal pysche. The barrier between "them" and "us" is
therefore very fragile

This Place is Not a Place: The Constructed Scene in the Works of Sir Walter Scott
No full textThis work examines Sir Walter Scott\u27s use of perspective and landscape, focusing mostly on two of his works, The Bride of Lammermoor and Redgauntlet. It is concerned with the influence of societal factors of production on both author, and through author, text, and the interaction of both as they exist within and without a dominant hegemony. There are, in Scott\u27s works, emergent voices coming from the borders of dominant society, as well as once-dominants struggling against the inevitability of their own dissolution. For a variety of reasons, much of the conflict between these voices occurs in the novel\u27s setting. This study discusses the way in which Scott\u27s constructed scene and perspective make past dignities, present actions, and future dooms a predetermined fact of the constructed scene. It addresses formulations of landscape that point to specific ideological implications, sometimes condemning, sometimes privileging segments of a culture as they are connected to and disconnected from specific locales on the textual stage. Scott\u27s use of the scene has several predecessors: it arises from the selective processes involved in picturesque painting, from the landed ontology prevalent in European cultures at this time in social history, from the novelist\u27s growing consciousness of the way in which the world-constructed-in-text influences the way a reading audience sees the world-outside-text. Scott\u27s refraction of the world, his attempts to adjust the conveyed reality against the ambiguating receiver and against the demands of those exterior (and interior) forces that place restrictions on the limits and forms of ideological meaning, leads to a potent fission of meaning within the novel\u27s landscape as an increasingly larger exterior reality is desperately pressed into an increasingly restrictive textual reality. The potency of the medium and its tendency to extend beyond the control of the author lead to more violent attempts to maintain cohesiveness, which in turn powers a novelistic creation that strays further from his control. This study is constructed to identify the gravitational pressures exerted both within the author and without that bend creative intentions and vastly complicate the impact of the created text
