Abstract

The intersection of media and performance has undergone a profound transformation in the digital age, giving rise to new paradigms of creation, dissemination, and audience engagement. This paper explores the methodologies and techniques used to research media within the context of digital performance, a field that merges traditional performance practices with digital technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, live streaming, and interactive media. Through a critical examination of qualitative and practice-based research methods including ethnography, digital ethnography, performance analysis, and creative practice as research this study maps the evolving landscape of media in digital performance. It also addresses key challenges such as ephemerality, interactivity, and technological mediation. The aim is to provide a comprehensive framework for scholars and practitioners to navigate and interrogate this rapidly evolving field, contributing to the broader discourse on digital humanities, media studies, and performance theory.

Abstract

The case study method remains one of the most debated yet widely employed qualitative research strategies across disciplines. Its strength lies in its capacity to explore complex phenomena within real-life contexts, yet it is often critiqued for lacking generalizability and methodological rigor. This paper interrogates the paradoxical nature of the case study method, examining how it simultaneously embodies research specificity through in-depth focus on a single or bounded case and multiplicity by offering rich, transferable insights applicable across contexts. Drawing on key theoretical perspectives and methodological debates, the study explores the dual identity of the case study as both a unit of analysis and a research design. Through illustrative examples from social sciences and humanities, the paper reveals how the method’s flexibility challenges rigid research classifications while enabling profound contextual understanding. The conclusion advocates for a more nuanced appreciation of the case study method’s potential, calling for clearer methodological frameworks that embrace its paradoxes rather than obscure them.

Abstract

The subjugation of women within certain aspects of Nigerian culture is a significant concern that necessitates comprehensive efforts across multiple levels, including individual, relational, community, and societal interventions. Recently, both organizations and filmmakers have sought to highlight various societal issues that persistently traumatize women and children in the country. This research, therefore, offers an in-depth comparative analysis of trauma and gender dynamics as portrayed in the films Damage and Mr. and Mrs. Utilizing a qualitative methodology that combines content analysis of the selected films with Johan Galtung’s theory of structural violence, the research posits that the intricate depictions of violence in both films can be understood through their societal and cultural contexts. By examining the characters’ responses to challenges and conflicts, the study evaluates how effectively these films confront and dismantle traditional gender norms, fostering essential discourse on trauma, resilience, and societal transformation. A crucial aspect of the research involves examining audience attitudes and behaviors related to gender-based violence (GBV), assessed before, during, and after the viewing experience. This component provides significant insights into viewers’ perceptions, emotional reactions, and their understanding of GBV and its implications. Moreover, the study engages with crucial questions about establishing a more equitable community, where the dynamics between men and women move beyond the oppressive ‘master and slave’ paradigm. By delving into these themes, this research aims to enhance the growing body of literature that investigates the media’s critical role in shaping public perceptions and narratives surrounding gender-based violence
