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.

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]

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.

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.

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.

This text proposes a discussion about the imagetic record and its ability of being a constitutive mediation for human experience. Based on debates about the technical image and its narrative possibilities, we propose to analyze the signification of urban contemporaneity in the photography of cities. Among the theoretical contributions which will be used we concentrate on the concepts of narrative embryo (Buitoni) and complex image (Català), as well as on debates about nature and language of the photographic device and the relationship between media, mediation and cities (Ferrara). Finally, we suggest the creation of a category, called evenemential image, that refers to a certain type of record which is able to conduct and, in fact, order symbolically the experience of urban space.

In the digital age, the social sciences of religion have begun to face the problem of studying a new complex phenomenon: religious communication mediated by the computer. Sociology needs to find instruments, categories and methodologies to analyze it. In this essay we focus on the state of the art of the phenomenon, discussing the terminology, and suggesting a classification methodology and a few reading guidelines. Indeed the cyberspace it is not a matter of bringing order into the "meaningless infinity of the real", but of bearing in mind that the realities are at least two and that, from many points of view, they not always belong to the same "world". The notion of religion offers rigid socio-linguistic evidences to the researcher, perhaps ill-suited to study virtual communities of belief, with ephemeral and changing boundaries, groups of people meeting only in the Net, without any real connection with each other.

In the ecclesiastical history concerning the theme of communication, the Catholic Church hás always considered it as na important element to be included in its specificity. And the church documents reveal the evolution of the thought in teaching in the área of communication, which passed through several stages of "mistrust", "acceptance", in short the understanding of the need for dialogue between faith and culture. Currently, it is a great effort to adapt the language, but above all, the change in mentality, as we enter a new process of communication in our society, which requires the passage of the simple transmission of faith to na interactive-participatory model. A challenge for evangelization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
