title: The sentimental life of commodities: the aesthetics of cuteness and its play of power in the art of Jeff Koons

description: Abstract The present paper analyzes a few works by artist Jeff Koons using the vernacular aesthetic category cute. In his sculptures representing critters and toys, Koons gives formal expression to the contradictions and ambiguities of cuteness, making explicit the ambivalent feelings and longings that underpin the relationship between the consumerspectators of late capitalism and the commodities that surround them. Reflecting on commodities and consumption – cultural consumption included – in light of the aesthetics of cuteness helps us, or so we argue, to better understand the very place of art in a globalized circuit increasingly dominated by neoliberal market logic. The work of Koons, one of the most popular and financially successful contemporary artists, is a privileged vantage point from which to observe power shifts in the field of visual arts.

title: E a corrupção coube em 20 centavos

description: Abstract We returned to the “Jornadas de Junho de 2013”[Days of June 2013] to study how the anti-corruption discourse became part of the agenda of demonstrations that, initially, aimed only at repealing an increase in bus fares. We show the relevance of police violence in the generalization of the claim to victim status . This generalization allowed a subsequent generalization: that of citizens who are victims of an immoral and corrupt state. We point out the interval between the 13th and 17th as the moment in which there were intense movements of the hegemonic media and of groups backed by the social networks to introduce the corruption in the agenda of the manifestations.

title: The image in the Maxakali verbal art: aspects of a shamanic poetics

description: Abstract An investigation on image in the verbal art of the Maxakali or Tikmû’ûn indigenous people, who live in four territories in the state of Minas Gerais, speak the Maxakali language, from the macro-Gê linguistic stem. Based on one of the central aspects of Maxakali spirituality - the post-mortem transformation of koxuk (“word”, “soul”) into yamîy (“song”, “spirit”) - and artistic and media manifestations typical of its rituals, connected to the mythological background, we recognize the image as one of the potentialities responsible for the creation and preservation of its poetic forms.

title: #YoSoy132: video trails

description: Abstract This paper aims at analyzing video trails of two networks formed from two Youtube videos, related to the #YoSoy132 movement, occurred in 2012, in Mexico. These networks were analyzed using methods from Social Network Analysis (SNA), with the graphs visualized through the Gephi program. The networks showed very different connection patterns, one with more clusters less linked to each other, and another, an egocentric network example.

title: The staging in the photography – assembling scenes and telling stories

description: Abstract This paper aims to understand historically what would be and how it has been constructed the staging in the photographic language. Based on the thoughts of Fontcuberta, Soulages and Rouillé, we reflect on categories such as performance, manipulation, fiction and truth. This is to show that, in spite of what common sense advocates and certain ontological theories of photography defend (especially Barthes, but also Kracauer, Krauss, among others), staging has always been part of the photographic process and today, at a time in which it is practiced more openly and consciously, a new field of experimentation opens to photography, new ways of seeing and show permeated by a desire to fable, a willingness to invent worlds and tell stories.

title: Review, the newspaper critique

description: Abstract This article argues that the review is the cultural critique in newspapers, founded on the journalistic field, which came into being along with the principles and values of modern journalism. We operate the proposal of criteria of definition of gender: enunciative logic, argumentative force, discursive identity and potentialities of the medium (SEIXAS, 2009). We observe that the regularities of the criteria help to understand the genre, but a relatively stable action must be confronted with the properties of the institution of which it is a part. Currency , periodicity, objectivity (GROTH, 2011, SCHUDSON, 2008, 2011, FRANCISCATO, 2003) act in the constitution of the review, oriented to the current and the new and predominantly argumentative (ADAM, 1992).

title: Surges of Political “Fake News”: A case study on Twitter.

description: Abstract In this paper we propose an analysis of the so-called political “fake news” on Twitter, based on a case study. We examined fake news that circulated during the trial and imprisonment of the Brazilian ex-president Lula da Silva. Through social network and qualitative analyses, we found that this fake news circulated mostly among highly partisan clusters and that their spread is influenced by a certain type of user.

title: Experience-value in the context of experiential journalism

description: Abstract A rapid overview on contemporary journalism strategies points to a reinforcement of ideas of “experience” and “experimentation.” The recurrence with which these concepts have been employed in various scientific and professional domains attests to its importance in relation to cyberjournalistic contents, especially using Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. This article discusses the experience in this panorama, taking into account two spheres: one, which concerns the experimentation of journalism as the scope of production, and the second, as far as the reader/user experience is concerned. The analysis was carried out in reference journals such as Folha de S. Paulo, The New York Times and The Guardian. The conclusion points out that an instance is manifested in the production and enjoyment of journalistic contents that we can define as experience-value.

title: Under Siege: The Rise of Right-Wing Populism or has the Demos Become Crazy?

description: Abstract The title of this paper is a play on words re-working the word democracy into demos-crazy. This re-working however is not a joke as the election of authoritarian illiberal candidates in the United States, the Philippines, Hungary, Turkey and Brazil (to name but a few) has called into question the future shape of politics. Electoral politics is under siege by new parties as well as spontaneous movements. There are fundamental questions which need to be addressed. What are the reasons for the rise of right-wing populism? Is populism undemocratic? What has been the role of social media and ICTs in helping to create a new political spectrum? Politically and socially what does it mean if we have entered a post-truth age? The demos has not become crazy but democracy is certainly in retreat. This paper argues that liberalism needs to construct an honest counter-narrative in contrast to the fear-mongering and false nostalgia of the right. The rhetoric of the right is opportunistic, but it would be a fatal mistaketo dismiss its appeals. After all, it has won elections. The demos is not crazy, but has been ignored and in many cases left behind. Positive populism is grounded in human dignity and fairness. This is the essence of democracy.

title: A SModelS interface for pyhf likelihoods

description: SModelS is an automatized tool enabling the fast interpretation of simplified model results from the LHC within any model of new physics respecting a Z_2 symmetry. We here present a new version of SModelS, which can use the full likelihoods now provided by ATLAS in the form of pyhf JSON files. This much improves the statistical evaluation and therefore also the limit setting on new physics scenarios.

title: The times in Paraguaçu: youth, cultural mediations and Youtube

description: Abstract This paper analyzes the audiovisual productions of Equipe Iskálifá, a group formed by young residents of São Félix-BA, from the standpoint of social mediations and cultural mutations, in the terms of Jesus Martin-Barbero. The analytical course identifies how the contradiction of cultural struggle operates in different temporalities in the configuration of products. The objective is to highlight the implied double effort of production of audiovisual material and subjects, and reveal time movements passed through values, meanings and alternative and oppositional hegemonic practices.

title: Media genre, performance and bodies in transit: an analysis of talk TV dissent on YouTube

description: Abstract This analytical paper proposes reflection on transformations of the television conversation operated on YouTube, with special interest in bodies that position themselves as dissidents. It takes as its empirical object three channels - Põe na Roda [Talk to All], Canal das Bee [Bee Channel] and Drag-se [Drag yourself] - that stress mediatic conventions of masculinities and femininities in relation to matrices of talk show and debate programs. The study points to places of reinforcement of the binary convention that marks the television bodies, despite the interest in identifying YouTube traffic places. It presents a historicized approach to the phenomenon, investing in the notion of television genre as a figure of historicities, in association with the sense of performance and self-reports.

title: Following the steps of Verón... an approach to the new conditions of circulation of meaning in the contemporary era

description: Abstract The paper reviews Verón’s work, in particular his theories of mediatization, of the circulation of meaning (communication) and of enunciators and enunciatees (institutions, media, collectives of individual actors and individuals). It maintains that Verón made an sharp characterization of the modern and postmodern situation at these levels and it proposes an analytical device to study the spatial and temporal dimension of contemporary circulation, in which content “travels” from social networks to the mass media and from the mass media to social networks. He also argues that it is the new conditions of circulation of meaning that should be focused to account for how our media culture is changing.

title: The construction of the political figure of Bolsonaro in El País: methodological exercise for analysis on meaning production in journalism

description: Abstract The activity, in digital networks, of several actors who disseminate false content and news through social networking sites and applications, has mobilized the studies on the interaction practices and meaning production in journalism. The 2018 presidential campaign in Brazil has generated a great amount of events that provide materials for this type of investigation. From the purpose of abstracting a scale on the meanings produced by the press around a political figure and, later, to cross the inferences obtained with the meanings produced by the consumers of these journalistic contents, a methodological exercise was undertaken in the site of the Brazilian version of the Spanish newspaper El País and on Facebook. Data collection and analysis observe and evaluate journalistic practice in relation to the production of meanings in the networks.

title: Semiotics through the test of writing: editorial regimes and intelligibility

description: Abstract The way in which the vocation of semiotics is understood necessarily translates into how research results are articulated and formulated. If the various conceptions of the discipline that discriminate the community of semioticians were clearly brought to light by Jean-Marie Floch in the eighties, his reflection only took into account the postures adopted by each researcher but was far too brief to tackle the issue of the texts produced by them. This question is what this article attempts to provide answers to by proposing a topography of the various types of writing that can be observed in contemporary semiotic literature, taking into account a central, not to say crucial, variable when it comes to research texts, that of their intelligibility. Largely inspired by the advances proposed by Eric Landowski in terms of interactions – here understood as those that texts build between their authors and their readers – the following paper allows to identify four major writing regimes.

title: Trends in the international news coverage on Latin America in Germany in the 21st century

description: Abstract This study aims at analysing the main developments in foreign reporting of Latin America by the German press. The paper provides a content analysis of 3.831 articles published in quality German publications (SZNenhum, FAZ, Der Spiegel, and tazNenhum) between 2000 and 2014. The most common news factors related to the continent are found to be “magnitude,” “power status,” “economic proximity”, and “personification.” Additionally, we identified a decrease in hard news over the years (6 pp within Politics and 8 pp amidst Economy). Despite depoliticisation, a tendency towards tabloidisation was not confirmed since factors such as personification and crisis remained constant.
