The article aims to present the specific documents of the Holy See related to behavior and evangelization in digital media; identify the Culture of Encounter as a central proposition of Pope Francis' Magisterium for Communication, based on the deepening of the most recent publication Towards Full Presence A Pastoral Reflection on Engagement with Social Media; and we approach the theological reflections of the communicational ones. The proposition supports the hypothesis that pastoral reflection brings together in a single document what Jorge Mario Bergoglio thinks about Communication for the whole Church. By identifying the Ignatian bases of discernment, the documents that influenced the writing of the text and the centrality of the culture of the encounter, the article summarizes Bergoglian thought as a priest, Jesuit and Pope Francis.

This article aims to understand the interrelation between Theology, Communication and Education, starting from a comparative analysis between Liberation Theology and Prosperity Theology. The foundations of each theological current that respond to the needs of different Latin American and Brazilian contexts are presented. The analysis carried out also highlights educational and communicational movements and practices that emerge from these two epistemological cores, demonstrating in a practical way the importance of theological reflection in today's society.

The article addresses the influence of digital culture on the evangelization of the Catholic Church. This is a bibliographical reflection that aims to explain part of the cultural changes that have emerged in recent years and that lead to changes in religious behavior. The popularizations of the internet, social networks, digital means of communication are a phenomenon that encompasses religiosity, the transmission of its message of conversion and profession of faith. It is understood that the new ways of communication, languages, technologies and interactivity affect the human relationship with God and the perceptions about the sacred. We evaluate this dimension of evangelization and digital culture from the Second Vatican Council, which proposes a dialogue with society and with the advancement of other sciences. From Inter Mirifica, the Church opened up to immerse itself in social communication (and consequently digital). Cyberculture presents itself as a means of evangelization that must be deepened by the Church. There are channels and networks that are the result of studies and follow the doctrine of faith, but numerous digital influencers, speakers, among others, who deserve and need attention so that there are no discrepancies in the announcement of the Good News message. The article aims to reflect on religious communication and interactive culture that respects Catholic ethics and principles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Theme developed in a lecture at the Seminar "Women in Christianity" that presents the intuition and charismatic realization of Blessed James Alberione, founder of the Pauline Sisters in the Church, at the beginning of the 20th century, with the mission of proclamation, communication of the Gospel through the means of social communication, equating oral preaching with written preaching. Project carried out by consecrated women, a novelty for the time, assumed as an apostolate for the whole Church, at the Second Vatican Council. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to discuss the datafication of life in the current phase of the development of digital culture based on three axes: social relations, knowledge and nature. Datafication takes place in the tracking of social relations mediated by digital platforms, and as "requisition" of the world in the form of data that can be operated in two main domains: nature and knowledge. The first form of requisition is produced by the harvesting of mineral and energy to produce machines and devices and to feed the capture, treatment, and circulation of data. The second is a world translation into data, generating an epistocratic algocracy that can decide on the knowledge and management of public affairs. Relating datafication of life as the four Aristotelian bios and communication based on their mode of existence, we can conclude that it cannot be reduced to the whole sphere of communication, nor to be identified to a bios of mediatization. Datafication of life is at the base of contemporary communication and is transversal to the four bios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The changes in communication mark humanity in such a way that it gives birth to a new generation with its own way of thinking, expressing and living. In view of this, this article proposes a dialogue between current youth and communicative theology, with the guiding question: what would be the best way for young people to think about their faith? We have as premise the digital youth as a fundamental theological place to understand the dynamics of faith in the network society. Communicative theology is presented as an alternative to this journey of youth theological reflection, as it is in tune with aspects of digital culture, such as interactivity and the collaborative spirit. This work follows the methodology of exploratory and bibliographic research. In the study of digital generations and their contexts, we have Michel Serres, Sidnei Oliveira, Don Tapscott and Lucia Santaella as their theoretical framework. Communicative theology will be based on the works of its creators, Bernd Jochen Hilberath and Matthias Scharer, and from its inspiring source, Ruth Cohn's "Theme Centered Interaction" method. Contemporary youth will only find faith in experiences that provide opportunities for sharing, reflection and dialogue, where they can express themselves and be protagonists of social and ecclesial transformation.

We understand as the first act of consciousness the act of giving meaning, think man as being that gives meaning to our own experiences means to inscribe him as a being of language, this paper inserts the problem of language as a privileged debate of phenomenological discussion. We are aware of the impossibility to study the theme of language throughout the whole phenomenological tradition, so we are guided by the conceptual and historical frameworks. This article aims to analyse the status of language in phenomenology circumscribing the problem on the notions of expressiveness, truth and communication since the Husserl and Heidegger's phenomenology to focusing the study on the debate between Jean- Paul Sartre and Maurice Merleau- Ponty.

In this research, we intend to analyze the narrative structure of contemporary serials, with the narrative structure of the story, to verify if these two forms of expression present common characteristics, and if there is an influence of the narrative format of the literary tale, in the contemporary television serials. It starts from the hypothesis that the former influences the latter. In order to carry out this comparison, the analyzes and concepts of the narrative structures of TV and the series by Arlindo Machado and Marshall Mcluhan, studies on the story by Ricardo Píglia and Nádia Gotlib, the concept of intertextuality by Roland Barthes and Leda Tenório da Motta.

In this article, we intend to make a historical parallel between issues of the late 18th century and of early years of the 21st century, through the analysis of the narrative of the movie Que Horas ela Volta?. The production portrays the complicated relationship, professional and emotional, involving domestic work in Brazil, and the current socio-economic transformations that the country is experiencing. The goal is to demonstrate that, as in the past, when the bourgeoisie rose and affected aristocracy, today the new middle class begins to occupy different spaces in society, generating conflicts that are reflected also in the representations of contemporary cinema. Based on authors like Hobsbawm, Elias, Berman, Moretti and Veblen, we propose a parallel between two historical moments, that becomes evident by examining the construction of the film's characters.

This article deals with the information society as a set of ethical and aesthetic values, characteristic of a changing social context that calls for interpretation. In the information society a great number of devices and tools are present in the spaces of private and public lives. Methodologically, we adopt a descriptive, bibliographical form of research and a qualitative approach. As a result of this research, we came to consider informational society as a social system in which information has an essential statute, working as a fundamental structure for the existence of the Individuals.

This paper aims to outline linkages between discursive practices and contemporary media languages. To accomplish this, we take as theoretical framework the studies of the Circle of Bakhtin and the French Discourse Analysis School (AD), especially Mikhail Bakhtin's and Michel Foucault's perspectives. Dissonances and conceptual recurrences will be highlighted, based on: dialogism, discursive formation and enunciation, applied in the analysis of two collaborative segments broadcasted on Brazilian TV news: Parceiro do.

The era of digital information enables social changes in a way that, for the philosopher Vilém Flusser, becomes necessary to think about a new sociology, the sociology of the technical images. In this context, the present article proposes to identify, through the analysis of a publicity image by David Lachapelle, a communicational system which he makes use to better reach great audiences. That system meets the Information Theory, once evidenced that his works operate with a determined structured set of signs. Analysing the visual strategies in the photographic image, it becomes possible to identify the forces exercised by the means of communication and how new media are appropriating these resources to effectively spread the advertising message.
