Using Dayan and Kat's theory of "media events" - those historic and powerful live broadcasts that mesmerise mass audiences - this thesis assesses the socio-political effect of live broadcasting on South Africa's transition to democracy and the effects of such broadcasts on post-apartheid nationhood. The thesis follows events chronologically and employs a three-part approach: firstly, it looks at the planning behind some of the mass televised events, secondly, it analyses the televisual content of some of the events; and thirdly it assesses public responses to events, as articulated in newspapers at the time. 2014-12-29T04:59:57Z 2014-12-29T04:59:57Z 2012 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10475 eng application/pdf Centre for Film and Media Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
