KOC's Umm Gudair/Abduliyah Tayarat reservoir has large oil reserves but is a challenging target due to low formation permeability and high oil viscosity. This study is focused on feasibility assessment of hybrid thermal and chemical methods incorporating both laboratory and simulation results.

A recent updated static geological model for West Kuwait fields was used as the basis to generate a full-field dynamic reservoir model with representative reservoir geometry, heterogeneity, and complexity. Carter-Tracy aquifers were added to model lateral and bottom aquifers. Laboratory data were incorporated to model physiochemical properties. Gridblocks were globally refined to gain better resolution for heavy oil and EOR simulations. The full-field reservoir model was used to systematically study the potentials of hybrid thermal and chemical EOR methods in comparison with conventional waterflood and chemical EOR methods.

Our studies show that in order to produce oil at an economic rate, long horizontal wells on the order of kilometers or horizontal wells stimulated by acidizing, multistage fracturing, or multiple laterals should be deployed. Vertical wells yield low oil production rates due to limited contact areas and severe water coning. Aquifer water intrusion from the west side of reservoir overshadows the bottom aquifer and the edge east side aquifer due to the heterogeneity of reservoir permeability. A sector model was extracted from the full-field Eclipse model and further refined to avoid grid effects in simulation of EOR processes. Simulation results show that hybrid thermal and chemical methods (hot polymer/Surfactant-Polymer/Alkaline-Surfactant-Polymer flood) can effectively increase oil recovery from high-permeability, high-saturation sweet spots of the Tayarat reservoir. With the help of horizontal wells, hot polymer flood shows the best performance after 20 years of oil production and yields more than 30% of incremental oil recovery. Hot Surfactant-Polymer flood shows slightly lower cumulative oil recovery but sustained oil production rates and less production decline in the late stage of the flood. Phase 2 coreflood experiments confirmed that hot polymer flood can effectively enhance oil recovery.

In summary, this research study identified sweet spots for oil recovery and EOR applications in the challenging Tayarat reservoir and demonstrated the potential of producing significant amount of oil with appropriate IOR (e.g., extended reach horizontal wells, multistage fractures, stimulation, etc.) and EOR (e.g., hybrid thermal and chemical methods) techniques.
Solar Energy Enhanced Oil Recovery: A Case Study for Kuwait
Authors: Avaritsiotis John
Published: December 2018

This paper investigates the performance of a pilot linear Fresnel steam generator, for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), under the climatic conditions of Kuwait. Simulation results are compared to previously published results from a similar pilot installation in Miraah of Oman which delivers 50 tonnes of steam per day.

A desired 7 MWth peak power pilot plant is assumed in this work which will produce 80% quality steam at 110 bar and 300 ° C, matching typical EOR specifications. Simulation performed using System Advisor Model (SAM), developed by NRL, based on historical data of Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) of Kuwait. Given that the heating and pressurization of the subterranean reservoir typically transpires over a period of many months, EOR process is not sensitive to the timing of steam injection, and thus we can assume no steam injection during the periods with no sun. Linear Fresnel collectors have been assumed, which are like parabolic mirrors. Two more assumptions are worthy of comment. First, the SAM model baseline assumptions included 5% soiling on mirrors and 2% average soiling on the receiver envelope.

In a typical EOR application, to maintain steam injection around the clock, solar steam is injected during the day and steam produced by natural gas is injected at night. If the rate of steam injection is held constant, gas consumption is reduced by up to 25%. By injecting more steam during the day and less at night, gas consumption can be reduced up to 80% without the need for costly thermal storage; the reservoir itself acts as a primary thermal storage medium. The simulation shows that a peak power of 7 MWth can be achieved with an average output of more than 50 tons of steam per month from May to August and 10 tons/month for the rest of the year; a total of 517 ton/year. The simulated system requires a total land area of 5.2 acres and can eliminate 44,698 ton of CO2 emission per year.

To the best of our knowledge, a few studies have been published for Kuwait, which is pursuing a national objective to produce 4 million b/d of oil by the year 2020. This target may be achieved sustainably with heavy oil development using various techniques like unheated-water flooding, hot water flooding, steam flooding, and cyclic steam stimulation. The objective of this study is to investigate the later technique under the local climatic conditions.
The Application of Chemistry to Manage Wellbore Instability While Drilling the Mechanically Weak Burgan Shale Formation and the Vugular Shuaiba Limestone Formation

Wellbore instability while drilling mechanically weak, unstable or vugular formations has been a problem for decades. The cost of wellbore instability is a major challenge in achieving safe and economical drilling operations. As drilling operations moved into challenging formations in Kuwait, the operator sought to drill the Burgan shale and Shuaiba limestone formations in one section as opposed to the traditional two sections required to isolate each formation separately. This paper focuses on a class of technology additives used to mitigate the challenges of drilling weak and unstable formations.

One approach for drilling micro-fractured shale and weak sands with vugular limestone is to mitigate the invasion of drilling fluids into the formation. Other approaches include: stabilizing the reactive shale by preventing hydration and swelling, improving the filtercake texture and strength, and sealing natural micro-fractures. Drilling fluid invasion can change the pore pressure, which may trigger wellbore instability problems. Thus, using ultra-low invasion drilling fluids, sealing micro-fractures and maximizing shale inhibition are key components for mitigating wellbore instability. Field data for the wells using the ultra-low invasion additives and shale stabilizers is presented and compared with previous wells drilled across Burgan and Shuaiba formations in Kuwait.

The field data demonstrates the successful application of these additives to meet challenging key performance indicators (KPI) when drilling the Burgan shale and the vugular Shuaiba limestone in the same hole section. Using the ultra-low invasion additives along with shale inhibitors and borehole stabilizers, resulted in successful drilling operations with no differential sticking, torque-and-drag issues, sloughing, or tight hole problems as compared with usual incidences of differential sticking, pack-offs, and tight hole in other wells within the area. Using those additives also eliminated the need for a higher density fluid to control micro-fractured and tectonically stressed shales. The addition of the additive combination did not affect the rheological profile of the drilling fluid. Meeting these goals through the use of chemical additives in the drilling fluid reduced both non-productive time and formation damage in a cost-effective manner.

Data from this paper specifically addresses a chemical solution for drilling the Burgan shale formation together with vugular Shuaiba limestone in a major Middle East producing field. However, the technique of mitigating wellbore instability by using this combination of chemical additives is fundamental to safe and economical drilling operations for any depleted, weak or micro-fractured formations globally.
Solving 12-1/4-in. Directional Drilling Challenges by Minimizing Stick/Slip Vibrations in North Kuwait

Published: December 2018

The 12-1/4-in. directional application is one of the most challenging applications in North Kuwait. The section requires drilling from the Mutriba (Santonian) to Burgan (Albina) formations through highly interbedded, high-compressive-strength carbonates (limestone and dolomite), sandstones, and shales. In recent years, Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) has tested many different bit designs in an attempt to minimize stick/slip vibrations and maximize the rate of penetration (ROP). This paper presents the technology used to nearly eliminate stick/slip vibrations, leading to a field record (and a consistent performance) for this application, as well as the process used to develop the technology.

The interval was drilled using a rotary steerable system (RSS) to maximize wellbore quality and to provide consistent build-up rates (BUR) required. Parameters run in this application are often limited because stick/slip becomes uncontrollable when transitioning through the many formation types. In addition, reactive and stressed caving shales are regularly observed in the Ahmadi and Wara formations drilled during the interval. Special care is needed to mitigate these drilling challenges and to successfully drill the interval with low stick/slip vibrations and high ROP.

Using proprietary state-of-the-art design and analysis technologies, a new polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bit was designed for use specifically with RSS tools to minimize the vibrations. The solution required a thorough offset analysis before the interval that was presented using the design process. The design process enabled the presentation of a driller's roadmap to be used in conjunction with the new bit to enable a benchmark ROP to be achieved.

The use of the newly designed PDC bit produced minimal torsional vibrations, enabling a 62% increase in ROP over the field average. This increased ROP resulted in a savings of USD 90,000, reducing the cost per foot by 33%, as compared to the field average. The bit also came out in excellent condition, enabling future use in similar applications for KOC.

Published: December 2018

Addressing the imbalance between the existing demand for graduates of higher education institutions is aimed at strengthening the processes of integrating the education system with the business. At the same time, issues related to the system of forming and determining the appropriate forms and types of partnership between universities and business in Ukraine are becoming more urgent. That’s why the purpose of this study is to develop a methodical approach to the formation and adaptive use of forms of such interaction. A comparative marketing analysis of the national and world experience of the forms and methods of interaction between educational institutions and business is carried out. A methodical approach to the formation of interaction between higher education institutions and the business has been proposed. The directions and types of public private тpartnership in education are formed, the basis of which is the distribution of rights, responsibilities and risks between the partners of the relations. Depending on the changes in the external conditions of marketing functioning, there is a list of standard (universal) forms of interaction between universities and the business environment that make up the invariant core of such interaction and innovation-active (specific) forms that arise in connection with the expansion of university autonomy. The three-component model of the choice of the form of interaction between higher educational institutions and the business structures in Ukraine is proposed, which allows choosing the form that will be optimal considering the existing conditions.

Authors: Meng Fanke , Li Guoping , Zhang Binbin , Guo Jinbin
Published: December 2018

Activated carbon is an economic material to grab free chlorine in drinking water to reduce potential health risks. In this research, chemical kinetic reaction of the activated carbon for free chlorine removal was studied, which exhibited the first order kinetic reaction performance. A relationship between the rate of chlorinated water flowing through the activated carbon, and the free chlorine (ClO−) concentrations before and after the reduction by activated carbon was obtained. The logarithm of the free chlorine concentration (lnC) was linearly related to the reciprocal of the volume flow rate (1/v). The slope was dependant on the kinetic constant of the activated carbon dechlorination reaction. This research is beneficial for the scientists and engineers to study the mechanism of the chemical kinetic reaction of the free chlorine removal by activated carbon and design activated carbon-loaded water purification reactors.

Published: December 2018

The objective of this study was to determine the applicability of the laboratory flocculation test (Jar Test) for a solid contact clarifier. Cohesivity, a parameter characterizing the sludge blanket can be established by determining the Sludge Cohesion Coefficient (SCC) by conducting a Sludge Cohesion Test (SCT). A series of laboratory tests were performed using the Jar Test and SCT. Considering the large number of variable parameters involved with natural raw water, sludge samples were prepared using synthetic raw water with varying turbidity and coagulant dose combinations. A comparison was made between the optimum coagulant dose obtained using the two tests. Highest SCC observed at the optimum coagulant dose was within the range of 0.6–3.3 m/hr. Low SCC values indicate a light and fragile sludge blanket whereas high SCC values indicate a quick settling consistent blanket. With increasing raw water turbidity, the optimum coagulant dose given by SCT is lower than that of the Jar Test. Hence, at higher raw water turbidity occurrences, it may be possible to operate the upward flow solid contact clarifiers with lower coagulant dose. A significant quadratic relationship is observed between the optimum coagulation doses with R2 = 0.9 and α < 0.05.
Alumina as environmentally stable adsorbent for the removal of diresul black dye from waste water

Published: December 2018

Various adsorbents for the removal of dyes from waste water may or may not be stable, resulting in the desorption of adsorbed dyes with slight changes in physical conditions. To avoid this problem, environmentally stable adsorbent such as activated aluminum oxide or alumina has been used for the removal of Diresul Black, which is a dye used in the textile processing industry. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirms the non-tetrahedral framework of alumina. The efficiency of alumina via adsorption implies that 1 g alumina having the Brunauer–Emmett–Telle surface area of 2.65 ± 0.25 m2/g is enough to achieve up to 85% removal of concentrated dye solution in just 20 minutes. Adsorption energy as well as adsorption capacity is calculated by different adsorption isotherms. The sorption energy E turns out to be 19.3 KJ/mol. The thermodynamic studies show that the value of ΔH for the adsorption process is −976.5 J/mol while that of ΔS is −4.748 J/mol/K. Desorption studies show that the dye remains in its adsorbed form over aluminum oxide up to a pH of 2. Various ions present in the matrix interfere with the adsorption process, however none can decrease the adsorption below 65%.

Published: December 2018

The use of low cost materials in zeolite synthesis becomes an area of important interest in water softening. This research is aimed to utilize kaolin for zeolite synthesis with hydrothermal method. Mechanical, thermal chemical treatments of raw kaolin were used for zeolite synthesis. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR), AAS, XRD, surface area (BET), differential scanning calorimetry and TGA were used to characterize kaolin and zeolite and UV–VIS/spectrometer were used for adsorption capacity of ion exchange. Effect of contact time, pH solution and temperature of the solution were studied for batch experiments. XRD values indicated that the prepared material is showed as fully crystalline and primarily amorphous. Before and after hardness removal sample transmittance percentage intensity showed a wide range of difference. From this study, it can be deduced that Zeolite can be used as a low cost water softening agent. At room temperature, the residue is well with calcium and badly with magnesium, whereas affinity toward Mg ions increases to acceptable levels at 60 °C. The cation exchange capacity of zeolite was found to be dependent on contact time. The batch experiments of removing Ca2+ and Mg2+ show that the adsorption capacity of zeolite in calcium ion is higher affinity than magnesium ion.
Notas para una interpretación histórica de la marginación. El caso del municipio el chico
Authors: Noda Ramírez Eder Jesús , Carballo Alfredo Sánchez
Published: December 2018

El objetivo de este estudio es exponer algunas notas historiográficas, teóricas y empíricas que contribuyen a la interpretación actual de la marginación. La metodología utilizada es cualitativa, de tipo historiográfico, así como la revisión documental de archivo de un caso en particular. Se determina que el proceso conflictivo de clase y territorio en El Chico desde 1920 puede explicar la posición de un espacio marginado en la conurbación de Xalapa. Se trata de un trabajo de recopilación de notas historiográficas, y no de un análisis interpretativo de sociología histórica. Una de las aportaciones del estudio es la interpretación de la marginación desde un espacio social dominado y sin acceso al poder del capital en la historia de los territorios urbanos. Se concluye que la marginación en el municipio El Chico responde a la posición histórico-estructural de las clases subalternas en el espacio social urbano.

Thomas Mann: el beso mortal de la belleza
Authors: Junco de Calabrese Ethel Beatriz
Published: December 2018

El objetivo de este artículo es ofrecer una interpretación del cuento “Tristán”, de Thomas Mann, en clave órfica y en la frontera mito-historia, descenso-reconocimiento y ascensoautoposesión, a fin de valorar la experiencia del pathos humano supremo, el amor, y de su objeto constante, la belleza. Entre los resultados, se determina que las condiciones de tal experiencia se juegan en la frontera mito-historia, entendiendo que el mito —espacio de unión dioses-hombres— la promueve y la historia —territorio antimetafísico— la limita y condena. De ahí la necesaria culminación en muerte, transmutada en vida absoluta. Entre las aportaciones, se postula una lectura en tiempo presente del arte musical y su transferencia en sentido catártico; se proponen dos preguntas partiendo del cuento: qué relación nutricia está pendiente en el binomio vida-arte y qué posibilidad tenemos de transfigurar la experiencia estética en religiosa.

Published: December 2018

El objetivo de este análisis es identificar las principales variables sociodemográficas que incidieron en la decisión del voto en la elección de diputados en 2015 en México. Se emplean datos de 66 740 secciones electorales. Como metodología, se elabora un análisis exploratorio de datos y un análisis econométrico. Se encontró, en todos los partidos, efectos de dependencia espacial. Una de las limitaciones para este estudio fue la imposibilidad de conocer las otras variables existentes en el nivel de sección electoral. La originalidad de este análisis reside en el uso de técnicas de econometría espacial para aislar los efectos espaciales y ver con mayor claridad el impacto de los factores sociodemográficos. El estudio demuestra que la contigüidad entre las secciones electorales es un elemento importante al considerar los aspectos políticos de México.
Democracia y redistribución: Adam Przeworski y la desigualdad política
Authors: Millán Henio
Published: December 2018

El objetivo de este artículo es revisar críticamente las aportaciones recientes de Przeworski en torno a la desigualdad económica, la desigualdad política y la redistribución. Se siguió una metodología analítica de la tasa distributiva del votante mediano cuando la distribución de la influencia política está determinada por la desigualdad económica. Una de las limitantes del análisis consiste en que el modelo de Przeworski es una aproximación adecuada, pero necesita ser reforzada con una vigorización alterna del votante decisivo. Asimismo, no fue posible contrastar este modelo con evidencia empírica por falta de espacio para exponer y criticar las ideas básicas de Przeworski. El artículo es valioso porque representa un paso adelante en las aportaciones de Przworski acerca del problema de la relación entre desigualdad política y desigualdad social. Por lo tanto, se determina que es necesario ajustar el modelo en tres aspectos: el agente decisivo es innecesario, la tasa redistributiva es ambigua y el mecanismo de transmisión es débil.

Asimismo, la propuesta utilizada es replicable para dar continuidad analítica de los Comités Ejecutivos Nacionales actuales en los tres partidos y, al mismo tiempo, incluir otros.
Desarrollo institucional y conflicto magisterial en México, 1939-1948. El caso del Instituto Federal de Capacitación del Magisterio y los maestros federales de San Luis Potosí
Authors: Ovalle González Rodrigo
Published: December 2018

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar los factores que intervinieron en la creación del Instituto Federal de Capacitación del Magisterio con el fin de demostrar la influencia de este en el conflicto magisterial protagonizado por maestros federales de San Luis Potosí en 1948. La metodología consistió en la revisión de documentos oficiales, testimoniales y bibliográficos acerca de los maestros federales agremiados en la Sección XXVI del Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación en San Luis Potosí, así como de fuentes primarias del Archivo General de la Nación, de los fondos Secretaría de Educación Pública y Presidentes. Lo relativo a la reforma educativa y a los decretos se revisó en el Diario Oficial de la Federación. La información se sistematizó mediante el análisis de contenido en varias etapas. En la primera etapa, de análisis temático, se efectuó un preanálisis para conocer la estructura de los expedientes relativos al conflicto. Se hizo una primera revisión general y se generó, a partir de esta, la distribución de frecuencia simple para organizar el material. En la segunda etapa, de exploración minuciosa, se encontró el sentido de las agrupaciones iniciales, con base en expresiones y palabras muy significativas. En la etapa final, de tratamiento de resultados e interpretación, se formularon inferencias de mayor consistencia y se hizo un cruce con enunciaciones teóricas para integrar el cuerpo argumental del escrito. En cuanto a los resultados de la investigación, se establece que se crearon iniciativas de fortalecimiento institucional que, sin fundamentos suficientes, estuvieron lejos de garantizar una respuesta efectiva a la formación de maestros en servicio. Entre las limitaciones del estudio está la falta de información sobre la solución final de los conflictos aquí abordados y la manera en que se ajustó la operación del Instituto Federal de Capacitación del Magisterio (en diferentes etapas) ante el crecimiento del sistema educativo y la diversificación de perfiles de ingreso de los maestros. Este trabajo es meritorio porque prueba las implicaciones de factores políticos, económicos y sociales y el papel del Estado en la formación del magisterio en servicio; asimismo, porque ahonda en un tema escasamente tratado: el Instituto Federal de Capacitación del Magisterio, el devenir de este, los conflictos que su operación le generó al sistema educativo federal y sus maestros. Se concluye que los maestros federales agrupados en el Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación hicieron de una coyuntura la ocasión para manifestar su descontento por rezagos de vieja data, por lo que usaron renovadas tácticas de presión para reclamar beneficios que “por ley” les correspondían.

Psychotraumatology of Images in Gender Dysphoria
Authors: Settineri Salvatore , Frisone Fabio , Merlo Emanuele Maria
Published: December 2018

Background:

The study proposes a psychodynamic analysis of the traumatic role of mental images, that can be expressed by many conditions; in phenomenology, the psychic relationship is meant as the relationship between subject and object. The analysis is aimed at understanding how representations are relevant.

Objective:

Representations are distinguished as the possibility of intrinsic trauma and as inherently deferred in the conflict between sexual-biological identity and gender-psychological identity; our work aims to highlight how internal images affect adaptation processes.

Method:

The analysis involves the study of 10 Rorschach protocols of Gender Dysphoria subjects in Male to Female transition; the protocols are analyzed through the studies of N. Raush de Traubenberg, with reference to the Self and Body; a psycho-traumatological and phenomenological analysis of imaginal experiences will be proposed.

Results:

From the analysis emerges the presence of Self and Body representations affected by a partial and fragmentary prevalence of contents, the presence of psychotraumatic phenomena associated to the processes of introjection and identification of mental representations.

Conclusion:

The knowledge of the presence of affected representations and psycho-traumatological outcomes would be useful for a psychodiagnostic and psychotherapeutic purpose, intended for the implementation of the adaptation process.

Published: December 2018

Antecedentes y Objetivos: Los estudios florísticos enfocados en helechos y licopodios en los bosques tropicales de México son escasos. Los objetivos de la presente investigación fueron conocer la riqueza de ambos grupos en el bosque tropical subcaducifolio (BTS) del estado de Hidalgo y comparar su composición y riqueza a nivel de especie con la de otras regiones del país con el mismo tipo de vegetación.Métodos: La recolección de ejemplares se realizó en 26 localidades de seis municipios con BTS en la Huasteca Hidalguense. La determinación taxonómica fue hasta nivel de especie. La semejanza taxonómica entre municipios se estimó con análisis de agrupamiento (índice de Sørensen y UPGMA), y la riqueza de especies entre regiones con un índice de diversidad taxonómica.Resultados clave: En el BTS de Hidalgo se identificaron 12 familias, 32 géneros, 66 especies y un híbrido de helechos, así como una familia, un género y seis especies de licopodios. Las familias con mayor número de géneros fueron Pteridaceae (9) y Polypodiaceae (6). Los géneros con mayor riqueza de especies fueron Anemia y Selaginella, con seis especies cada uno. Las especies de amplia distribución fueron Adiantum tenerum y Tectaria heracleifolia (constancia de 85%). Se registraron seis especies por primera vez en la entidad. La semejanza florística entre municipios fue alta, excepto Huehuetla, situado en el extremo sur del área de estudio. El BTS de Hidalgo ocupa el tercer lugar en riqueza de especies por unidad de area (6.58/ha), dentro de los bosques tropicales del país.Conclusiones: La riqueza de especies del BTS de Hidalgo es alta con respecto a la de otras regiones con el mismo tipo de vegetación en México, relevante para implementar planes de manejo y conservación, considerando el elevado grado de deterioro de este ecosistema por las actividades humanas.

Authors: Mendonça Antônio Sérgio
Published: December 2018

Analisando as mais representativas concepções não-freudianas de memória, desde a concepção psicológica de Henri Bergson (1896), o estudo detém-se na concepção freudiana esboçada desde o fim do século XIX. Reflete sobretudo sobre as duas principais consequências dessa última abordagem, representada por Lacan e pelos autores que renovaram a questão da cientificidade histórica para além da Ciência Lógica de Hegel e do

materialismo histórico marxista.

O quadro de referências da vida contemporânea vem se

alterando bruscamente no compasso da hipervelocidade

propiciada pelo que Gabriel García Márquez recentemente

qualificou de "tecnologias disparadas". A transmissão imediata

de dados, imagens e vozes, por meio de avançados dispositivos

e sistemas tecnológicos, suplanta toda e qualquer fronteira,

todo e qualquer limite (...).

A política na TV: o horário eleitoral da eleição presidencial de 1994
Authors: Porto Mauro Pereira , Guazina Liziane Soares
Published: December 2018

A propaganda política dos candidatos e partidos na televisão têm

sido objeto de diversos estudos, muitos dos quais a definem como um elemento importante do processo político. Desde o estudo "clássico" sobre a eleição presidencial de 1972 nos Estados Unidos (Patterson & McClure. 1976). tem predominado a noção de que a propaganda política contribui muito mais para a compreensão do processo político e eleitoral do que os telejornais.
Duas notas sobre formação do imaginário estético-cultural
Authors: Reis Ronaldo
Published: December 2018

No apagar das luzes do século XVIII, o solipsismo - esteio moral da Razão Iluminista e fonte inspiradora da liberdade que movia o

humanismo burguês - cede sob o impacto do Terror que sucede a vitoriosa Revolução Francesa. E para o horror dos filósofos humanistas, nenhum ideal Iluminista se mostraria suficiente para conter os excessos cometidos em nome da liberdade.
Os impérios de mídia no estágio da oligopolização
Authors: Moraes Dênis De
Published: December 2018

A formação de oligopólios constitui o eixo preponderante do atual modelo organizacional das corporações de mídia e entretenimento. As empresas com especializações únicas definham. Elas correspondiam a um outro espaço-tempo, em que as tecnologias não encurtavam mapas, calendários e fusos horários; os fluxos de informações eram infinitamente

menos convulsivos; e não vigorava o mandamento competitivo

de gerar demandas em mercados de abrangência ilimitada. O equilíbrio de forças alterou-se por completo. Esta é a era dos conglomerados multimídias, estruturados para exercer hegemonia em todas as pontas da revolução digital.

Discurso e Sociabilidade

«Naquilo que tem de universal, a identidade pessoal de um indivíduo ou de um povo é antes de mais urna identidade gramatical. Quem tiver o espírito formado para fazer as distinções de pessoas, de tempos, de modos, de vozes está por esse mesmo facto em condições de comunicar com outros num meio que ultrapassa em muito o contexto singular da sua cultura e da sua língua. Este meio gramatical é o solo de toda a identidade pessoal susceptível de se orientar num espaço ético de reconhecimento. É de tal modo essencial à nossa condição, está-nos a tal ponto enraizado, que se confunde com a arquitectura do próprio mundo em que vivemos.» - Jean-Marc Ferry, Les Puissances de l'Expérience, vol. 1. Le Sujei et le Verbe, Paris, ed. du Cerf, 199, P.9.
Metodologia da análise de imagens
Authors: Vicente Tania Aparecida de Souza
Published: December 2018

Presentes na variedade de produtos culturais expressivos de determinada sociedade, as imagens possuem dois espaços determinantes para a sua percepção: o olhar de quem a produz, ou do autor, e o outro de quem a recebe. Sabemos que as percepções aproximadas ou equivalentes podem ser provocadas pela contemporaneidade dos sujeitos, "aqueles que compartilham do seu programa de produção".

Identidades coletivas: negociando novos sentidos, politizando as diferenças
Authors: Maia Rousiley C. M.
Published: December 2018

O interesse central deste artigo é examinar o modo pelo qual a mídia, de uma forma generalizada de comunicação, se conecta com o projeto de identidade coletiva, seguindo a premissa pragmática básica de que as identidades são formadas de

processos comunicativos e de interação direta. Discuto que a

perspectiva encetada pelos teóricos da reflexividade confere uma renovada atenção ao papel que OS meios de comunicação desempenham na constituição e na renovação do repertório cultural de coletividade particulares. Esta abordagem recusa uma visão essencialista dos diferentes tipos de comunidades e contempla o modo pelo qual as especificidades culturais de grupos distintos se tornam instrumentos para a política de identidade.
