The role of the Harry Potter franchise in the development of film tourism in Great Britain
Get PDFZaključno delo preučuje vlogo franšize filmov o Harryju Potterju pri razvoju filmskega turizma v Veliki Britaniji. Predstavili smo različne definicije pojma filmski turizem, kot ga opisujejo avtorji različnih člankov, njegov razvoj in ga umestili med uspešna komunikacijska ter marketinška orodja destinacije. Uspešen film lahko namreč doseže večje število ljudi kot turistična kampanja in pri gledalcih vzbuja čustva. Nato smo preučili vlogo filmskega turizma v Veliki Britaniji ter ugotovili, da je Velika Britanija že dobro uveljavljena destinacija filmskega turizma. Predstavili smo Veliko Britanijo, njene osnovne demografske in turistične značilnosti ter izpostavili najbolj priljubljene vrste turizma, ki se tam odvijajo, v ospredju pa je še vedno mestni turizem, zaradi destinacij, kot so London in druga večja mesta. Ker v zaključnem delu obravnavamo franšizo filmov Harry Potter, smo vseh osem filmov, igralsko zasedbo in najpomembnejše člene ustvarjanja filma predstavili, povedali pa tudi nekaj o pisateljici knjižnih uspešnic, J. K. Rowling. Prav tako smo znotraj Velike Britanije poiskali najbolj priljubljene lokacije snemanja in turistične atrakcije, povezane s Harryjem Potterjem, ki jih je, kot smo ugotovili, res veliko, delijo pa se na »on-location« in »off-location« filmske destinacije. Franšizo filmov Harry Potter smo umestili tudi v filmski turizem v Veliki Britaniji in ugotovili, da je s svojimi lokacijami snemanja in Warner Bros. studijsko turo dejansko pripomogla k razvoju filmskega turizma v Veliki Britaniji oziroma mu dvignila vrednost in prepoznavnost destinacije. V empiričnem delu zaključnega dela smo pri raziskovanju spletnih strani, povezanih s filmskim turizmom na temo franšize filmov Harry Potter, ugotovili, da obstaja na to temo veliko turističnih proizvodov, vendar se v glavnem atrakcije ponavljajo, v večini primerov pa se trži »off-location« atrakcije: Warner Bros. Studio Tour – The Making of Harry Potter. Izvedli smo ekspertni intervju s profesorjem, ki je eden izmed vodilnih strokovnjakov in raziskovalcev s področja filmskega turizma v Veliki Britaniji. Ta nam je podal svoje poglede na vlogo filmskega turizma v Veliki Britaniji, mnenje o povezavi filmskega turizma in franšize filmov Harry Potter ter o tem, da je film lahko zelo uspešno orodje za komunikacijo in marketing destinacije, kot je Velika Britanija, vendar se lahko pojavi nezadovoljstvo s strani lokalnih prebivalcev in slabosti filmskega turizma na manjših destinacijah. S pomočjo naše raziskave in analize smo lahko odgovorili na zastavljena raziskovalna vprašanja ter dobili boljši vpogled v vlogo filmskega turizma oziroma vlogo posameznikov in skupin, ki se s tem ukvarjajo, in franšize filmov Harry Potter pri razvoju filmskega turizma v Veliki Britaniji, kjer so zabeležili veliko, tudi do 200 % povečanje obiskovalcev na filmskih lokacijah.The thesis studies the role of the Harry Potter film franchise in the development of film tourism in Great Britain. First, we presented the different concepts and definitions of the term film tourism, as defined by different article authors, its development through time and placed film between succesful communication and marketing tools of a destination, since it has a larger audience reach, than a tourism campain and evokes viewers pleasant emotions. Then, we have studied the role of film tourism in Great Britain and came to a conclusion, that Great Britain already is a well renowned film tourism destination. We have presented Great Britain, its demographic and tourism information and pointed out the most popular types of tourism that occur in Great Britain, though city tourism is still in the foreground, from visiting larger cities, such as London etc. Because, in our thesis, are considering the Harry Potter film franchise, we have created a chapter especially for that. We have presented all of the eight movies, the cast of the films and the most important creators of the film franchise. We also provided some information about the author of the popular books, J. K. Rowling. We have searched for the most popular filming locations and tourist attractions regarding the film franchise Harry Potter in Great Britain and we found quite a number of them. However, they are divided into »on-location« and »off-location« film locations. We have placed the Harry Potter film franchise in Great Britain\u27s film tourism and established, that it has significantly contributed to its development and risen the value and recognisability of Great Britain with the film franchise\u27s filming locations and the Warner Bros. Studio Tour. For the empirical part of the thesis, we researched the websites, specializing in film tourism and visiting Harry Potter locations and discovered, that there are a lot of tourist products regarding the phenomenon, but the attractions are repeating iself. The strongest marketing has in most cases the »off-location« attraction, Warner Bros. Studio Tour – The Making of Harry Potter. We also performed an expert interview, with a proffessor, who is one of the leading experts and researches that specializes in film tourism. He provided us with his views on the topic of the role of film tourism in Great Britain, his knowledge on the connection of film tourism and the Harry Potter film franchise, as well as, that films can be a very successful communication and marketing tool of a destination, in our case, Great Britain, however, dissatisfaction on the part of local residents and the disadvantages of film tourism in smaller destinations may arise. With the help of our research and analysis, we were able to answer our research questions and got a better view, what is the role of film tourism and the Harry Potter film franchise in the development of film tourism in Great Britain or more specifically, the role of individuals and groups who are involved in the development of film tourism in Great Britain, where there was a significant rise in the number of visitors at filming locations
The museum of folk-pop music as a media and a place of memory: a study of visitors
Get PDFV zaključni nalogi smo pristopili k raziskovanju presečišč med glasbo in turizmom skozi reprezentacije glasbenih muzejev, ki v zadnjih letih postajajo vse prepoznavnejši in s tem legitimno polje dediščinske prakse. Osredotočili smo se na glasbene muzeje kot medije in kreatorje kolektivnega spomina, ki skozi muzejske reprezentacije pomembno oblikujejo spomin družbe, pri čemer moramo obiskovalce muzejev vselej razumeti kot aktivne soustvarjalce pomenov muzejskih reprezentacij, saj skozi različna branja interpretirajo muzejske zbirke. V raziskavi se osredinimo na muzej narodnozabavne glasbe oziroma muzejsko zbirko Štirih kovačev v Slovenj Gradcu, kjer sprva skozi multimodalno analizo zbirke prepoznavamo glavne pomene, ki jih muzejske zbirka komunicira: tradicijo kovaštva, minevanje časa in nostalgijo po starih časih ter kulturno identiteto koroške regije. Nato smo izvedli študijo občinstva, da bi prepoznali, kako te muzejske reprezentacije berejo mlajši obiskovalci, ki niso primarno občinstvo tovrstnih muzejev. Skozi tematsko analizo empiričnega materiala, ki smo ga zbrali s fokusnimi skupinami, smo prepoznali prevladujoča razumevanja narodnozabavne glasbe med mladimi, vtise ogleda in posamična branja zbirke. Zaznavanje pogajalskega branja podkrepi teoretične okvire, da je občinstvo aktivno in bere reprezentacije glede na lastne življenjske izkušnje, hkrati pa prevladujoča dominantna branja obiskovalcev potrjujejo, da muzejska zbirka Štirih kovačev uspešno komunicira želene pomene občinstvu. Ugotovitve nakazujejo na pomembnost glasbe kot kulturnega produkta destinacije in njenega pomena pri povezovanju skupnosti, spominjanja in krepitve narodne ter kulturne identifikacije občinstva, ter priložnosti za razširitev raziskovalnih okvirjev znotraj študij popularne glasbe v Sloveniji na glasbene muzeje.In our final thesis, we approached the exploration of the intersections between music and tourism through the representations of music museums, which have become increasingly recognizable in recent years and thus a legitimate field of heritage practice. We focused on music museums as media and creators of collective memory, which significantly shape the memory of society through museum representations, whereby museum visitors must always be understood as active co-creators of the museum representation meanings, as they interpret museum collections through different readings. The research focuses on the folk music museum or the Štirje kovači ensemble museum collection in Slovenj Gradec, where we initially identify the main meanings communicated by the museum collection through a multimodal analysis of the collection: the tradition of blacksmithing, the passing of time and nostalgia for the old days, and the cultural identity of the Carinthian region. We then conducted an audience study to identify how these museum representations are read by younger visitors, who are not the primary audience of such museums. Through a thematic analysis of the empirical material collected through focus groups, we identified the dominant understandings of folk music among young people, impressions of the tour, and individual readings of the collection. The perception of negotiated reading supports the theoretical framework that audiences are active and read representations according to their own life experiences, while the prevailing dominant readings of visitors confirm that the Štirje kovači museum collection successfully communicates the desired meanings to the audience. The findings indicate the importance of music as a cultural product of the destination and its significance in connecting communities, remembering and strengthening the national and cultural identification of the audience, and the opportunity to expand research frameworks within popular music studies in Slovenia to music museums
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
