Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the role of television drama series on a global scale, analyzing these dramas across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. Contributors consider the role of television dramas as economically valuable cultural products and with their depictions of gender roles, sexualities, race, cultural values, political systems, and religious beliefs as they analyze how these programs allow us to indulge our innate desire to share human narratives in a way that binds us together and encourages audiences to persevere as a community on a global scale. Contributors also go on to explore the role of television dramas as a medium that indulges fantasies and escapism and reckons with reality as it allows audiences to experience emotions of happiness, sorrow, fear, and outrage in both realistic and fantastical scenarios.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do drama serials communicate development goals and achieve dramatic impact? What is involved in translating storylines, such as those from the BBC's longest running radio soap opera, The Archers, for diverse local cultural contexts? Can drama serials bring about positive social change? This book offers unprecedented insights into the production and consumption of a range of popular radio and television drama serials, broadcast in places as diverse as Afghanistan, Burma, Cambodia, Nepal, Pakistan, India, Nigeria and Rwanda. It brings into dialogue the perspectives of the creative teams who make 'dramas for development', the donors who pay for them, and the audiences who consume them. It also highlights the crucial role of audience research as a tool for making drama and as a resource for translating cultures.This book emerges from a unique research collaboration over a three year period between The Open University, the University of Adelaide, and the BBC World Service Trust. This path-breaking initiative opens windows on the intertwined worlds of media and development for academics and audiences alike.Cultural translation means different things for dramatists, development practitioners, donors, audiences, and scholars. Their interests may collude or collide. What accommodations and adjustments are entailed in transnational circuits of serial drama production? What imaginative investments are required on the part of dramatists unfamiliar with local cultures? What cultural assumptions need to be exploded to reach audiences? This book offers an innovative framework for analysing drama for development that will appeal to practitioners and academics alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the advent of the modern means of mass communication, the human societies evolved and developed in almost exclusive environment with limited interaction with the other societies. However, with the rapid development of the means of mass communication, especially the electronic media, a new kind of interaction has started taking place amongst the societies passing through different phases of evolutionary process. Recently, the technological advancement has ushered into an era of satellite television beaming all over the world. The setting and the message content of most of the programs are considerably different from the present state of socio-cultural conditions of a traditional society like that of Pakistan. But, despite of these facts, the satellite television has been greeted with greatest enthusiasm in the country including its rural areas. The present study discusses the role of satellite television in bringing social change in Pakistan through a case study of rural Sindh. It gives an introduction to Sindh's rich historical and cultural background; the evolution of satellite television in Pakistan; an overview of theories relating to television and social change; qualitative and quantitative methodology adopted for the present study; and attempts to evaluate the changes taking place in the society.

Download or read book Sexuality Education written by Elizabeth Schroeder and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-04-30 with total page 1560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exemplary team of professionals provides a comprehensive look at sex education, the heated debate over federal controls, current research and practice, programs, politics, legislation, and cultural and religious issues related to sex and sexuality education. In the groundbreaking Sexuality Education: Past, Present, and Future, the history, practices, and politics of sexuality education are explained. Respected educators, counselors, and therapists marshal both research and educated opinion to offer insights into exactly what is meant by "sex education," what the various approaches are, what "age appropriate" lessons are supported by most professionals, and the impact of government policies. Noting that the need for sexuality education has expanded to adults, from new parents to senior citizens, this unique work also takes readers into classrooms and makes them privy to conversations representing everyone from elementary school students to nursing home residents. These comments reveal the range of unanswered questions about sex—questions that are important for psychological, as well as physical health. In addition, the contributors explore ongoing issues in sexuality education, such as how to present "culturally competent" lessons that include consideration of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, and sexual orientation. The experts also examine sexuality education in other countries, the challenges those countries face, and their victories over unplanned pregnancy and STDs in the global effort to preserve sexual health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph explores and investigates key issues facing Middle Eastern societies, including religion and sectarianism, history and collective memory, urban space and socioeconomic difference, policing and securitization, and gender relations. In the Middle East, television drama creators serve as public intellectuals who, with uncanny prescience, tell the world something. As this volume demonstrates, fictional television provides a crucial space for social and political debate in much of the region. Writing from a range disciplines—anthropology, communication, folklore, gender studies, history, and law— contributors include seasoned academics who have dedicated their careers to researching Middle Eastern media and emerging scholars who build on earlier work and introduce fresh perspectives. Together, they provide an invaluable overview of Middle Eastern serial television and their political impact, drawing examples from Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Syria, and Turkey. Bringing together a diverse range of academic perspectives, this book will be of key interest to students and scholars in media and communication studies, Middle Eastern Studies, and popular culture studies.

Book excerpt: This project explores Entertainment-Education based strategic interventions in Pakistan, specifically focusing on commercial television serials drawing from the Entertainment-Education model. It considers these serials in terms of production, text, and their reception in the media to ask (i) how Entertainment-Education based television serials in Pakistan are being made, (ii) how messaging in specific texts plays out within the broader media environment, and (iii) what potential impact these serials may be having on conversations about sensitive social issues in the country, especially with regard to women? Using two female centered television serials, Udaari (2016) and Sammi (2017), as central case studies, the project analyzes their role and social significance within the local media industry, and in public discourse. A triangulated methodology of research includes extensive interviews with the people making these serials and close text analysis of the serials themselves, along with content analysis of articles in the local press discussing (often taboo) issues highlighted by these serials. Themes addressed include issues of child sexual abuse, women's financial independence, the illegal cultural custom of Vani, maternal health, and gender discrimination at birth. Long-term questions behind this project think through (i) potential policy implications of Entertainment-Education projects, (ii) long-term impacts of opening up of spaces of discourse for controversial issues, and (iii) implications for the Pakistani television drama industry in terms of how stories about women are told. Exploring these interventions is crucial for mapping out future possibilities and interventions that can have a major impact on the socio-political-legal conversations surrounding women's rights in Pakistan as well as helping shape women's own conceptions and understanding of their own rights and the resources available to them

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Television for Women brings together emerging and established scholars to reconsider the question of ‘television for women’. In the context of the 2000s, when the potential meanings of both terms have expanded and changed so significantly, in what ways might the concept of programming, addressed explicitly to a group identified by gender still matter? The essays in this collection take the existing scholarship in this field in significant new directions. They expand its reach in terms of territory (looking beyond, for example, the paradigmatic Anglo-American axis) and also historical span. Additionally, whilst the influential methodological formation of production, text and audience is still visible here, the new research in Television for Women frequently reconfigures that relationship. The topics included here are far-reaching; from television as material culture at the British exhibition in the first half of the twentieth century, women’s roles in television production past and present, to popular 1960s television such as The Liver Birds and, in the twenty-first century, highly successful programmes including Orange is the New Black, Call the Midwife, One Born Every Minute and Wanted Down Under. This book presents ground-breaking research on historical and contemporary relationships between women and television around the world and is an ideal resource for students of television, media and gender studies.
