Urban Planning, Built Environment, and the Structure of Cities
Authors: Fraser Benjamin
Published: May 2020

This chapter analyzes a group of comics in which the large-scale machinations of urban planning culture have negatively impacted the life of city dwellers. Norwegian artist Hariton Pushwagner’s Soft City indulges in the social alienation that results from the linear monotony of the metropolis. The tyranny of urban planning is dramatized in Samaris by Belgian creators Benoît Peeters and François Schuiten. Dead Memory by French creator Marc-Antoine Mathieu takes the spontaneous appearance of walls in the city as an impetus to play with themes of spatial form, memory, and language loss. Two final comics juxtapose the top-down method of urban planning with the experience of the city’s built environment at the scale of the individual: Robert Moses: The Master Builder of New York City by French author and illustrator Pierre Christin and Olivier Balez and American Ben Katchor’s collection Cheap Novelties: The Pleasures of Urban Decay.
Netizens, Revolutionaries, and the Inalienable Right to the Internet
Authors: Thompson Tok
Published: May 2020

This chapter examines the political implications of communal vernacular online art such as memes, mashups, and more. The tensions between these communal processes, and the various claims to authority, ownership, and censorship by institutions such as nation-states and media corporations, have erupted in epic cultural clashes regarding the very nature of art, freedom of speech, and politics. Such new moves challenge dominant regimes and dominant modes of thought, and are reconfiguring people’s relationship to the nation-state, traditional media, and corporate ownership of culture.
Ghost Stories from the Uncanny Valley
Authors: Thompson Tok
Published: May 2020

This chapter proposes that we will soon find ourselves haunted by the ghosts of androids. Although ghost stories have been centrally studied throughout the history of the discipline of Folklore (perhaps most notably during the time of Andrew Lang in the British Folklore society), it appears we are quickly approaching a new era in ghosts: the ghosts of artificial intelligence. This chapter takes as its starting point the proposition of android ghosts, exploring the implications and possibilities emanating from this discussion. What sorts of ghosts will androids make?
New Myths for Modern Times
Authors: Thompson Tok
Published: May 2020

This chapter examines the contemporary cultural roles of non-human humanoids in establishing and negotiating a sense of “human” identity, with a particular focus on the marker of green skin. Internet trolls are currently a major problem in our social relations online in the world today, and the belief of Extra-Terrestrial Aliens is growing strongly, along with the growth of globalizing discourses. The green skinned troublemakers are linked to the cyber world both in terms of globalizing culture and also as a result of that very globalizing process itself. If “humanity” is fast becoming a real identity, then what is its shadow? What is not us? This presentation explores the roles that green-skinned Others play in helping us to get to know, define, and discuss, our own ontology.
Conclusion
Authors: Thompson Tok
Published: May 2020

At first blush, posthumanism’s main branches of animals and cyborgs may seem widely disconnected, but, as this work has attempted to detail, both of these aspects are being creatively reinterpreted in contemporary culture, and both depend on each other in terms of the very basis of the most fundamental ontological questions....
The California Ramblers Taking Off
Authors: van Delden Ate
Published: May 2020

Arthur Hand had an orchestra of his own which was incorporated into Kirkeby's California Ramblers and which he would co-lead with Ed Kirkeby. In April 1922, Kirkeby arranged for the first of countless record dates for almost any label. The band did not have a bass player and Adrian Rollini decided to fill the gap and quickly learned to play the bass saxophone. In just a few months, he developed a new style of playing, both for the bass line and for solo work. His sound would identify the California Ramblers for years to come. The band was fully employed from its start and one of their engagements was as a replacement for Paul Whiteman's band at the Palais Royal. However, Kirkeby and Hand preferred to have their own place where their band would perform regularly. They found it North of the City of New York and called it the California Ramblers Inn.
A Band of His Own
Authors: van Delden Ate
Published: May 2020

In the fall of 1927, Rollini was in a position to set up a top band and he selected an all-star team. From Jean Goldkette's band he had a.o. Bix Beiderbecke, Frank Trumbauer, and Don Murray. Others include Sylvester Ahola, Frank Signorelli, and Bobby Davis. He called his band the New Yorkers after the Club where they worked. Their music was quite advanced and not suited for the general public.Publicity was good, colleagues came to listen, but the public stayed away, so it ended after a few weeks. During those weeks several recordings were made under various names, including Rollini's and Trumbauer's and Red Nichols'. When it ended, his band members went their various ways and Rollini accepted an offer to go abroad.
Out of Europe and into the Depression: Bert Lown
Authors: van Delden Ate
Published: May 2020

Upon his return to New York, Rollini got a job with Bert Lown at the Biltmore hotel,one of several Bert Lown bands. It also meant back to Prohibition and into the Depression. Daily performances, including broadcasting, started again as well as making records and incidental gigs, everything at a higher pitch than in London. Rollini also recorded with another of Lown's bands,which was directed by Tom Clines. But Rollini did not lead one of Bert Lown's bands and compensated that by free-lancing.
In and out of the Deepest Depression
Authors: van Delden Ate
Published: May 2020

Rollini joins Richard Himber' Ritz-Carlton hotel band and does some recording work under his own name, but he wants more stability and decides to start a club of his own. This became Adrian's Tap Room where Fats Waller was the piano player/entertainer. Musicians would gather there and often jam together and with the regular band. Also Rollini crossed paths again with Ed Kirkeby who, as an agent for Victor, got him several record dates for that label.With some dates with ARC a.o. with Dick McDonough, Rollini's dark Depression years ended.
Trio Years: Before and during the War
Authors: van Delden Ate
Published: May 2020

In 1938 Rollini made his final recording on bass saxophone. He definitely chose for the vibraphone and his Trio. Some of his compositions for vibraphone were published by Robbins. The Trio had plenty of work and the next year Rollini got a broadcast contract for Chiclets chewing gum. There were engagements in Hollywood as well as many short gigs in New York in such places as the Belmont Plaza and the Piccadilly. The Trio's personnel changed rapidly and leader Rollini had to find replacements. He settled for Allen Hanlon, guitar, (later Fred Sharp) and George Hnida, bass.They record for a small label, WOR Feature.
The Boogie in the Bush
Authors: Taylor Christin Marie
Published: May 2020

This essay considers Welty’s engagement with race through the lenses of nature and space. Through seemingly insignificant references to manmade outdoor space, Welty points to nature as an essential aspect of race making. Natural boundaries come to symbolize the separations of Jim Crow as well as associated iterations of the “black beast rapist” myth that include tropes of “oriental” and Native American masculine others. But, Welty’s African American characters overturn these dominant myths, signifying on white masculine violence and feminine desire.
Demonstration of Life
Authors: Lumumba Ebony O.
Published: May 2020

This chapter engages racial discourse by linking the concept of signifying to the men and women in “The Demonstrators” who represent the African American community. The interaction between the black characters in “The Demonstrators,” especially when individuals who do not bare a cultural kinship to them are present, possesses an ancestral link to the African heritage in which the community is inherently steeped. In a textual moment that appears anticlimactic, members of the African American community of Holden demonstrate resistance to the intrusion of dominant culture through use of the age-old concept of signifying.
Welty’s Moonlighting Detective
Authors: Agner Jacob
Published: May 2020

This essay argues that Eudora Welty’s 1966 civil rights story, “The Demonstrators,” casts a spotlight on the “crime” of systemic racism in the U.S. South through the popular crime genre of American noir fiction and film. Although a mid-twentieth-century category mainly recognized for its depictions of dark cities and shadowy “mean streets,” noir’s stylized world collides with the Closed Society in Welty’s late story and throws into stark relief the subtler effects of white supremacy. Turning noir’s key traits on their head (e.g., black-and-white chiaroscuro lighting, the femme fatale, and the tropes of hard-boiled detective fiction), Welty throughout “The Demonstrators” brilliantly illuminates the subtle tactics of, and clues left behind by, criminalized acts of whiteness. In so doing, Welty’s masterful crime story pays homage to classic noir artists such as Dashiell Hammett, Chester Himes, and Alfred Hitchcock.
Ideology, Ethnicity, and Performativity in Eudora Welty’s Losing Battles
Authors: Fuller Stephen M.
Published: May 2020

This chapter evaluates Losing Battles as a response to Civil Rights ferment, regarding the novel broadly through the prisms of Eagletonian Marxism and speech act theory. The analysis argues that the text’s primary formal characteristic, its epic blending of scores of vocal performances, typically spoken by senior members of the Beecham-Renfro family, disseminates and enforces a range of ideological conformities, including but not limited to those policing ethnicity. Through the delivery of these speeches, characters engage inadvertently or otherwise in speech acts that traumatize and dominate and reproduce chauvinistic and belligerent cultural narratives. Namely, Losing Battles reveals the mechanism of Althusserian interpellation as it operates in southern culture; however, outsiders and even a few insiders escape the authority of received ideas and, therefore, reveal emancipatory potential.
Resinas compostas nos últimos 10 anos – revisão da literatura. Parte 5: pigmentação e envelhecimento
Authors: Soares Paulo Vinícius , Piqui Daniel Oliveira , Ribeiro Wobido Amanda , Fávaro Zeola Livia
Published: May 2020

Introdução: Este é o quinto de seis artigos que farão uma análise geral da literatura sobre resinas compostas nos últimos 10 anos. As resinas com- postas surgiram com o objetivo de restaurar estruturas dentais danificadas, reestabelecendo a função e a estética do sorriso. Apesar de suas excelentes propriedades mecânicas, quando em meio bucal, as resinas compostas estão sujeitas a diferentes processos que podem levar à redução da longevidade das restaurações. Assim, essa revi- são tem como objetivo sintetizar e descrever os principais fatores que favorecem a pigmentação e o envelhecimento das resinas com- postas e como influenciam em sua longevidade. Métodos: Após realização de ampla busca na base de dados Medline/PubMed, utilizando termos específicos referentes a cada um dos fatores a serem ava- liados, 32 artigos foram incluídos nessa revisão. Em seguida, foi realizada extração dos dados e avaliação dos resultados. Resultados: Todas as resinas compostas avaliadas sofreram alteração de cor, sendo o vinho tinto e o café as substâncias que demonstraram maior potencial pigmentador. Por outro lado, independentemente do método utilizado (imersão ou fotoenvelhecimento), todas as resinas compostas sofreram envelhecimento devido ao tempo. Conclusão: A alteração de cor devida à presença de pigmentos e o envelhecimento do material com o tempo são fatores que influenciam na longevidade das restaurações em resina composta. Esses fatores devem ser considera- dos e manejados adequadamente pelo cirurgião-dentista, com o intuito de evitar o insucesso das restaurações em resina composta a longo prazo.

Authors: Soares Paulo Vinícius , Fernandes Luísa de Oliveira , Wobido Amanda Ribeiro , Zeola Livia Fávaro
Published: May 2020

Introdução: Essa é a última parte da sequência de seis artigos abordando uma avaliação da literatura a respeito das resinas compostas nos últimos 10 anos. A resina composta é um material amplamente utilizado na prática clínica odontológica e, por esse motivo, o conhecimento de seu comportamento em longo prazo torna-se necessário. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar, por meio de revisão de literatura, a longevidade clínica e as taxas de falha de restaurações em resina com- posta. Métodos: Uma busca ampla na literatura foi realizada, utilizando a base de dados Medline/PubMed entre os anos 2007-2018. Após avaliação dos títulos e resumos, 65 artigos foram selecionados para leitura de seus textos completos, sendo 30 incluídos nessa revisão. Em seguida, foi realizada extração dos dados e interpretação dos resultados. Resultados: O tempo de avaliação clínica utilizado nos estudos variou de 1 a 22 anos e a taxa de falha das restaurações em resina composta oscilou de 0 a 54,8%. As principais causas de falha associadas foram cárie secundária, descoloração marginal e fratura da restauração/dente. Conclusões: A resina composta apresenta boa longevidade independentemente do tipo de material utilizado. Porém, os estudos que analisaram com menos de 5 anos são considerados inconclusivos.

Published: May 2020

Immunotherapy has arisen in use in the field of oncology with seven immune checkpoint inhibitors approved for the treatment of a variety of cancer histologies. Depending on the cancer type, the success rate might be different, but in average it is about 20%, with some cases showing a durable response, lasting also after the interruption of the treatment, with a clear benefit on OS. The development of an efficacious cure for advanced thyroid carcinomas is still an unmet need and immunotherapy represents an interesting alternative option also for this cancer. However, very few clinical trials have been accomplished and very few studies exploring a way to overcome resistance have been performed. In this review, we will summarize the mechanisms of immune escape, with a special reference to follicular-derived thyroid carcinoma. Furthermore, we will try to speculate on the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of follicular-derived advanced thyroid carcinoma. Finally, we will summarize the ongoing clinical trials and the future directions of the field.

Published: May 2020

Purpose. At the present stage, for the normal functioning of the economy, it is necessary to maintain a balance of economic interests for consumers of transport services and transport itself. Therefore, the aim of this work is a detailed study and analysis of the current development level of transport and logistics systems, as well as the prospects for their further development. Methodology For analyze the work of modern transport and logistics systems, a set of methods of economic and mathematical modeling was used, including an element-by-element examination of the transport and logistics system, determining the demand for each of its elements among consumers, the level of corresponding costs, differentiating transport services, etc. Based on the obtained analytical data, the behavior of the transport and logistics system is modeled depending on the specific conditions of its functioning and possible features that accompany it. This allows you to consider various options for using modern technologies in the operation of the transport and logistics system and evaluate the potential benefits. Findings. The application of the logistics principles is aimed at improving the transport services based on the latest transport technologies, which allows using different types of transport, improving information interaction between participants in the transportation process, etc. The development of transport and logistics systems in the Republic of Belarus is also determined based on the Republican expeditionary unitary enterprise BELINTERTRANS – Transport and Logistics Center of the Belarusian Railway. The concept of transport and logistics systems is disclosed. Based on a study of the Belintertrans enterprise, the effectiveness of introducing such technologies as FLEXE technology and the GLONASS fuel consumption control system for the development of transport and logistics systems is examined. Originality. Based on the study of methodological sources and scientific developments in the field of development of transport and logistics systems, several options are proposed for introducing new and more advanced information technologies into the activities of transport and logistics centers. Practical value. The result of applying these technologies is, first of all, cost reduction in the logistics system, as well as increasing the competitiveness of the enterprise, increasing its profits and maximizing customer satisfaction. Since in the transport and logistics system, to satisfy the needs of the client (providing services to consumers and producers of goods), the functions of transportation, storage, distribution, etc. are implemented, the use of information technologies in any of them will increase the stability and efficiency of the system.
ESTUDIANTES BRASILEÑOS EN LA FACULTAD DE CIENCIAS MÉDICAS DE ROSARIO (ARGENTINA): IMPLICANCIAS INTERLINGÜÍSTICAS
Authors: Angelucci Thalita Camargo , Pozzo María Isabel
Published: May 2020

RESUMEN Globalmente, la migración estudiantil universitaria aumenta. En Latinoamérica, Argentina se destaca como epicentro de los intereses de extranjeros, especialmente en las carreras de Medicina. Brasil restringe el acceso a la universidad vía examen de ingreso. En los últimos años, el número de inscritos brasileños en la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario (Santa Fe/Argentina) ha aumentado significativamente. Este fenómeno se presenta en la agenda de los medios de comunicación; sin embargo, los estudios académicos al respecto son escasos. Por esto, el objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las implicancias lingüísticas del fenómeno en relación a: a) la reciente política lingüística universitaria (exigencia de certificación en idioma español a ingresantes no hispanohablantes); b) la formación de comunidades lingüísticas cerradas; y c) el posicionamiento en un paradigma médico, que usa jerga propia. Partimos del marco teórico de la Sociolingüística (ROTAETXE AMUSATEGI, 1990), específicamente de las Políticas Lingüísticas (CALVET, 2007; ARNOUX, 2000), y adoptamos conceptos teórico-metodológicos del Análisis de Discurso (ORLANDI, 2015, 2011; PÊCHEUX, 1975/2016) para construir y analizar el siguiente corpus: documentos institucionales, noticias periodísticas y entrevistas semiestructuradas. De acuerdo a los tres objetivos propuestos, el análisis señala que: a) la aprobación en el examen de lengua española no garantiza el desarrollo expresivo en el contexto áulico, b) el fortalecimiento de la comunidad de brasileños interfiere en su apropiación del idioma español y c) no se constata dificultades lingüísticas sustanciales respecto a la apropiación de la jerga médica. A modo de conclusión, consideramos apremiante fortalecer las políticas lingüísticas e interculturales universitarias volcadas al acogimiento de estudiantes extranjeros, sobre todo en el campo de la formación en Medicina.

The investigation about multimodal literacies (KALANTIZS; COPE, 2012) focuses on the production of resistance/reexistance transmedia pedagogical materials. In a first moment, bilingual (Portuguese/Spanish) comic strips are produced, aiming at the problematization of ethnical and racial issues. In a subsequent moment, secondary narrations about the theme are produced: raps and animations. The investigation results are expected to enlighten pedagogical practices with the material in high school classes, aiming at developing students’ critical literacy.
NARRATING THE SELF AND THE OTHER(S): BRAZILIAN UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS’ RESPONSIVENESS TO ENGLISH, ELT AND LITERACY PRACTICES IN LEARNING AUTOBIOGRAPHIES
Authors: Szundy Paula Tatianne Carréra
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT This article draws on constructs of the discursive dialogic analysis designed by the Circle of Bakhtin, on the notion of language ideologies and on a transgressive view of Applied Linguistics to interpret how undergraduate students majoring in English and Portuguese from a public university in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, position themselves in relation to English, English Language Teaching and literacies in written learning autobiographical narratives. The learning autobiographies were produced by students in the beginning of their college education as future English and Portuguese teachers in an academic writing course. Parting from the assumption that what we come to identify as our thoughts, beliefs and “truths” is constructed in the interpersonal level before becoming “ours” (Voloshinov 1929 [1986]) and aligning myself with an ideological view of literacies (Street 1984, 1995 [2014], 2009), I analyze the ideologies about languages and literacies taking into consideration both the micro-context in which the autobiographies were produced and the macro societal levels that influenced how the selves and the others are positioned in the narratives.
TRACING THE DEVELOPMENT OF LITERACY PRACTICES FOR INTEGRATING INTERDISCIPLINARY CURRICULUM IN HIGHER EDUCATION: INTERACTIONAL ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY
Authors: Chian Monaliza Maximo
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT In this paper, I present an ethnographic approach that guided multiple cycles of analysis undertaken to trace the developing history of the decisions and actions taken by the lead professor and his design team as they engaged in iterative and recursive phases of development of an interdisciplinary course of study. This study was undertaken in an undergraduate Organizational Communication Program in a public regional university in the United States over a two-year period. The goal of this study was to identify factors that were critical in developing the interdisciplinary curriculum that met the university’s and department’s learning objectives. The microethnographic discourse analysis undertaken provided warranted evidence of how the interdisciplinary curriculum afforded students opportunities to develop conceptual understandings of practices of long-term and futures thinking critical for studying societies from an organizational communication perspective.
TODA ESTÓRIA É UMA NARRATIVA? GÊNEROS DE TEXTO EXEMPLUM E EPISÓDIO EM LIVRO DIDÁTICO DE LÍNGUA PORTUGUESA
Authors: Gerhardt Carla Carine , Fuzer Cristiane
Published: May 2020

RESUMO Ao ler ou ouvir uma história ou uma estória, é natural a associação de sua organização textual à narrativa no contexto brasileiro. Entretanto, se levadas em conta determinadas características linguísticas que evidenciam o propósito sociocomunicativo e as etapas de gênero dos textos, nem sempre histórias ou estórias são contadas fazendo uso da narrativa. Para evidenciar isso, neste estudo, objetivamos apresentar características linguísticas que instanciam outros gêneros de texto usados para envolver ouvintes ou leitores, encontrados em livros didáticos de língua portuguesa. Tendo em vista a abordagem de gênero da Escola de Sydney (MARTIN e ROSE, 2008), utilizamos princípios da Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (LSF), com foco no sistema léxico-gramatical de transitividade (HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2004, 2014) e no subsistema de Atitude do sistema semântico-discursivo de Avaliatividade, (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005). Para análise, foram selecionados, nos livros didáticos “Português Linguagens” (CEREJA; MAGALHÃES, 2012) e “Projeto Teláris - Português” (BERTIN; BORGATO; MARCHEZI, 2012), 21 textos com potencial para instanciar os gêneros exemplum e episódio, tendo em vista propósitos sociocomunicativos específicos, a estrutura esquemática e características linguísticas típicas de cada gênero de texto. A análise dos componentes oracionais da transitividade e das ocorrências de avaliações de Atitude em cada texto evidenciou 8 instanciações de exemplum e 13 de episódio. Nas instanciações de ambos os gêneros, foram identificadas orações materiais e relacionais para introduzir personagens nas fases cenário e descrição, as quais constituem a etapa Orientação. As diferenças situam-se no modo como o problema é respondido nas etapas: com Reação no episódio e Interpretação no exemplum. Além disso, para cumprir o propósito de cada gênero, as instanciações de exemplum apresentam mais avaliações de julgamento, enquanto as de episódio apresentam avaliações de afeto.

ABSTRACT Autoethnography is the study of culture through the study of self (ELLIS, 2004; ELLIS et al, 2011). In this paper, we explore the value of autoethnography in the study of academic literacies. We draw on our own experiences as ethnographers and autoethnographers of literacy to provide illustrative examples. We show how autoethnography has provided a fresh understanding of the role of place and space in developing academic writing across countries and between English and Spanish (OLMOS-LÓPEZ, 2019). We discuss the value of team autoethnography in researching academic writing (TUSTING et al., 2019). And we reflect together on our own journey of development as academic writers, showing how a mentoring relationship has been part of both of our trajectories. The paper aims to argue for the value of autoethnography as an approach to studying academic literacy practices, particularly in providing insight into identity and personal experience.
WRITING ABSTRACTS IN THE UNIVERSITY CONTEXT: COMBINING GENRE-BASED AND PROCESS-ORIENTED APPROACHES
Authors: Dias Reinildes
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT Abstracts play an essential role in the academic field since they are the first section of a research article readers have at their disposal to determine its relevancy. Their main goal is to give a concise view of the articles that accompany them. Grounded on recent theoretical studies, this paper discusses the principles of a pedagogical learning cycle that can assist students in the development of their academic writing literacies in English. This cycle combines two methodologies traditionally used to develop writing literacies, the process-oriented approach and the genre-based one. Additionally, it presents classroom practices developed for the university context regarding the teaching of the academic genre “abstract” to undergraduates taking English at a Faculty of Letters in a public university of Minas Gerais. The participants were freshmen who were taking English One, in their first term in the context of higher education. The classes took place in September of 2017 and ran for one third of a sixty-hour mandatory course. They were aimed at discussing the stages of the learning cycle to help students’ understanding of how to write abstracts in English. The learning activities are thoroughly explained to demonstrate how the stages can be pedagogically applied to teaching practices. A brief analysis of one of the abstracts written by a participating group is given to show that the learning cycle can work well in assisting university students to adequately write abstracts. In a world where English is the major means of sharing scientific knowledge among members of academia, this writing pedagogy may be useful to learners in the process of composing abstracts in English as well as to professors teaching writing in the university context.
TRUMP TWEETS THE TRUTH: METRIC POPULISM AND MEDIA CONSPIRACY
Authors: Varis Piia
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT Since its inception, studies on ‘digital populism’ have focused mainly on the savviness of populist movements and politicians in their use of social media. The focus in this paper is different: we know quite a bit already about what populistsdoon and through social media, but very little has been written about what populists sayaboutsocial media - how they frame them as environments for political communication, and with what kinds of implications. Social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter have not only become central players in present-day debates regarding free speech, political correctness and truth/fake, but also become part of (populist) political discourse in terms of their content moderation policies and intervention, or lack thereof. I will explore these issues through an examination of Donald Trump’s discourse on social media as an environment for political communication, and their moderation policies.
POLITICAL DISCOURSE IN POST-DIGITAL SOCIETIES
Authors: Blommaert Jan
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT In his contribution to the Special Issue “Digital and semiotic mechanisms of contemporary populisms”, Jan Blommaert offers a communicability model which accounts for political discourse (and others) in the post-digital era we live. He starts by arguing that the idea of the public (a homogeneous entity) that was very popular in the 20th century sociological imagination of how propaganda worked in “manufacturing consent” can no longer be used to explain the fragmented audiences of our post-digital era. The author illuminates his argument by resorting to the circulation of political tweets/retweets as texts in our algorithmic-oriented world. Such a circulation aims at niched audiences. In the last section, the author argues that discourse analysts need to operate from this communicability model if they are to understand the cruciality of political discourse in our contemporary social lives.
ALGORITHMIC POPULISM AND THE DATAFICATION AND GAMIFICATION OF THE PEOPLE BY FLEMISH INTEREST IN BELGIUM
Authors: Maly Ico
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT Populism studies tend to understand populism as a purely political phenomenon (MUDDE; KALTWASSER, 2017; MÜLLER, 2016). To categorize someone as a populist or not, is in many cases solely based on an evaluation of discourse, style or even ideology. It is much rarer to see approaches to populism that focus on the relation between politics and media and digital media in particular (welcome exceptions are CESARINO 2019 e SILVA, 2019). Throughout this contribution, I will argue that we cannot understand populism in full without focusing in detail on how populists and others actually construct the populist voice, how they communicate themselves on different platforms as the ‘true representatives of the people’. This inevitably means taking the changing media landscape into account as a key-context that shapes contemporary populism. The hybrid media system, its media logics, affordances and its culture of connectivity need to be considered when trying to make sense of populism and politics in general in the 21st century.
HOW SOCIAL MEDIA AFFORDS POPULIST POLITICS: REMARKS ON LIMINALITY BASED ON THE BRAZILIAN CASE
Authors: Cesarino Leticia
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT In the past decade or so, populism and social media have been outstanding issues both in academia and the public sphere. At this point, evidence from multiple countries suggest that perceived parallels between the dynamics of social media and the mechanics of populist discourse may be more than just incidental, relating to a shared structural field. This article suggests one possible path towards making sense of how the dynamics of social media and the mechanics of populist mobilization have co-produced each other in the last decade or so. Navigating the interface between anthropology and linguistics, it takes key aspects of Victor Turner’s notion of liminality to suggest some of the ways in which social media’s anti-structural affordances may help lay a foundation for the contemporary flourishing of populist discourse: markers of social structure are suspended; communitas is formed; the culture core is addressed; mimesis and anti-structural inversions are performed; subjects become influenceable. I elaborate on this claim based on Brazilian materials, drawn from online ethnography on pro-Bolsonaro WhatsApp groups and other platforms such as Twitter and Facebook since 2018.
COMPUTATIONAL AFFORDANCES, CONTEXT COLLAPSES AND OTHER CHALLENGES TO LINGUISTIC STUDIES
Authors: Santos Vinícius Vargas Vieira dos
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT With the increasing incorporation of digital media in 21st century societies, a paradigmatic phenomenon is occurring on the language issue: communicative practices have started being widely mediated by technology. Besides incorporating earlier technologies, such as radio and television, computers have enabled users, who were mere passive recipients, to become information emitters as well. Starting from the principle pointed out by Marshall McLuhan (1964) that the medium controls the scales and actions configured in language, this paper seeks to understand the scalar levels of new technologies contexts and how they reverberate on meditated linguistic practices. Digital media are considered here as their own computational designs, communication channels that, far from being neutral, are previously set by large computational companies and, therefore, present ideologies and already configured forms of interaction, stimulating semiotic and pragmatic dimensions of language, reflecting on aspects of culture and, consequently, on political life.

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the classification of CTS by the Phalen test with electromyography. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study. Patients at orthopedic outpatient clinic with carpal tunnel syndrome were evaluated by the Phalen test and compared with the result of the electroneuromyography. Results: Sample of 33 patients, mostly women (87.9%). Most patients were already diagnosed with severe CTS by ENMG. The results of the Phalen test and the electromyography were equal in 26 of the 33 patients (78.8%). Conclusion: The Phalen test showed its applicability, since it had results similar to those of ENMG in most cases, especially in the most severe ones. The exam studied is a possible tool for the classification and recommendation of surgical treatment. Level of evidence IV, Retrospective observational study.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the profile of femur fractures in older adults in Brazil between 2008 and 2018. Methods: Population-based time series study with data from the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (Datasus), including 480,652 hospitalizations, of adults from 60 years and over, with hip fracture (ICD10-S72). Results: There was an increase of 76.9% in the hospitalization register (mean 5.87%/year) and an average incidence rate of 19.46 fractures for every 10,000 older adults. In total, 68% of hospitalizations were female, 28% from São Paulo. The average length of stay was 8.9 days, being higher in the Northern Region (11.8) and in the Federal District (18.7). Average mortality rate was 5%, being higher in men (5.45%) and over 80 years old. Northeast Region had the lowest mortality rate (3.54%). Southeast Region had the highest rate (5.53%). Total cost of hospitalizations was R$ 1.1 billion, with an average of R$ 100 million/year. Average cost per hospitalization was higher in the Southern Region (R$ 2,491.00). Conclusion: Femoral fracture is an important cause of mortality among older adults, with a higher incidence in women but higher mortality in men, with high cost to the system and regional differences.
