Effective communication is one of the most important tools and skills in promoting patient safety. Through it we can perceive and confirm what the patient wants to tell us, their feelings, acceptance, denial and their needs, and from it we can resolve them or not. Especially in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where the majority of patients are under sedation, intubated or drowsy. The study aimed to problematize and reflect on the barriers and facilities to make care in the Intensive Care Unit safer and more humanized. It was possible to understand that ICU health professionals recognize the value of communication as key to the humanization of care; however, it is necessary to recognize the barriers that exist in the process. This highly complex and technologically advanced environment requires the healthcare team to develop cognitive skills, practical skills and responsibilities that sometimes lead professionals to leave communication with the patient in the background and address needs in a technical way, widespread and insensitive, putting at risk the humanization of patient care. Therefore, communication is a right and something crucial and indispensable during the health process. Communication in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) plays a fundamental role in providing safe, individualized and humanized care to patients. However, it faces several barriers and finds facilitators that directly impact the quality of care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The media ecosystem has been significantly transformed due to the COVID-19 pandemic between 2020 and 2022. Within these transformations, an important economic segment stands out: tourism. This transformation has been triggered by the limited mobility experienced throughout the planet. Consequently, society has begun to live new "tourist" experiences in virtual environments, which motivated us to carry out this project. Its methodological proposal involved the Agile Scrum procedure, commonly adopted by engineering companies, participant observation, and bibliographic research. The result was the completion of an applied research project that involves theoretical and practical procedures and gives new meaning to travel photography in the new media ecology.

The informational paradigm of communication stipulates that agents talk to convey non-redundant information to other agents. If we turn to self-directed talk and, in particular, to private speech, however, we find a clear counterexample. After all, in self-directed speech, the roles of speaker and hearer coincide in the same agent. My goal here is to search for an alternative paradigm that explains private speech in its various intrapersonal and intersubjective uses. To that end, I consider two alternatives, the dispositional and the deontic paradigms, which assume respectively that we talk to generate dispositions and to negotiate commitments in coordinated actions. In comparing their merits, I show that the second one is preferable because it explains private uses of language with phatic function better than the first one. Such uses show that communication can turn to aspects of its own infrastructure; regrettably, they have been systematically neglected in the philosophical literature, even though they seem to be a crucial part of a complete answer to the question “Why do we talk?”.

BACKGROUND: The practice of physical exercises has become more and more frequent, as well as external motivational strategies during their performance, such as music or other auditory resources. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the influence of musical and verbal stimuli when compared to silence, without interference of sound or speech on performance during the abdominal crunch. METHODS: Third young volunteers participated in the study, 15 males and 15 females, trained for at least 6 months in bodybuilding, mean age 23.7±3.0 without intercurrence of injuries in the region abdominal. The volunteers were submitted to the execution of sit-ups "crunch", these being on the random influence of three situations in the test: 1) Musical Stimulus; 2) Verbal Stimulation; 3) Silence. At the end of the application of each test, the volunteers responded to the Adapted Scale of Perceived Exertion. RESULTS: Without specifying one of the variables, comparing between genders, men performed better than women (p<0.05), however, between groups, the stimuli "silence", "music" and "verbal command" did not showed significant effect (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: Music and verbal commands do not influence performance while performing abdominal exercises. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Prenatal nursing appointments underwent changes during the COVID-19 pandemic, namely in the restriction of companions. For this reason, it is important to assess pregnant women's satisfaction with nursing care during this period. Objective: To assess pregnant women's satisfaction with nurse midwife-led prenatal appointments during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: A qualitative descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 196 pregnant women. The Portuguese version of the General Practice Nurse Satisfaction Scale (Escala de Satisfação dos Pacientes com a Assistência de Enfermagem) was administered to the sample. The tool consists of the following dimensions: interpersonal relationship and communication, confidence, credibility, and dedication. Results: Pregnant women are, on average, more satisfied in the interpersonal relationship and communication dimension and less satisfied in the dedication dimension. Conclusion: Pregnant women are satisfied with nursing care and acknowledge its importance. This finding reinforces the importance of nurse midwife-led consultations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Interruptions have been reported to contribute to clinical errors and procedural failures. Objective: To analyze the interruptions experienced by nurses during the preparation and administration of high-risk medications. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted in an intensive care and inpatient unit. The interruptions experienced by nurses during the medication process were observed through two checklists. The sample was selected by convenience in April-May 2019. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze quantitative data in IBM SPSS Statistics software, version 24.0, while content analysis was used to analyze qualitative data. Results: In 193 medication processes, there were 137 interruptions. Other members of the healthcare team initiated most interruptions through conversations. These interruptions were mostly negative and occurred during the preparation phase. The multitasking strategy was used to manage them. Conclusion: Interruptions during the medication process were primarily associated with professional and social communications. The impact of these interruptions varied depending on the phase of the process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A mapping of Brazilian research on digital ecosystems and journalism is presented, based on groups registered in the CNPq directory since 1990. Both the Postgraduate Programs in Communication and their lines of research focused on Journalism, as well as the three stricto sensu postgraduate programs in Journalism, include groups concerned with the scientific and practical development of journalism via studies on the reconfiguration of journalistic processes, based on technological and communication transformations. The objective of the article is through a bibliometric survey to expose the cartography of the groups and their characteristics. An increase in the creation of groups was observed from the 2000s onwards, 36 groups, and only two groups until the end of the 20th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research carried out as part of the postdoctoral internship at PPGMPE-UFES objectively mapped the possibilities for expanding education in networks of know-how mediated by communication technologies. It uses the everyday method in the perspectives of Certeau, Ferraço and Alves in consonance with Morin's complexity hermeneutics, in order to experiment with technologies in networks, as ways to promote education in networks, as well as to bring back the learning created in this texture to a classroom. We conclude that mediation spaces such as the podcast, Tiktok, Youtube, Instagram, Linkedin, Pinterest infographics, Whatsapp, as well as the printed book and academic events are some, among many, technologies capable of attracting attention and people's hearts for education, while re-signifying everyday practices, providing differences over repetitions, often (un) learned in pedagogical routines.

The CTM3 Method is a proposal for structuring educational products in the health area, with the aim of facilitating its construction and also making the emitted message more easily absorbed by most people. It is interesting to know the acceptability of the CTM3 Method in the development of educational products by judges with expertise in the subject. Teachers of the Professional Masters in Health Education, from all regions of Brazil, were deliberately chosen to participate as judges. To evaluate the opinions/suggestions issued by the judges, the Thematic Content Analysis was chosen. Among the 13 research participants, 11 (85%) positively analyzed the CTM3 Method. The most evident qualities in the experts' speeches were: 'easy insertion', 'interesting' and 'relevant'. This evaluation strengthens the hope that the CTM3 Method can facilitate the construction and favor the absorption and application of inferred knowledge in educational products.

The Urihi Yanomami Association used photographic records to bring attention to the malnourished condition of the yanomami indigenous people in the Surucucu region of western Roraima. In January 2023, a photograph of a deceased indigenous woman, severely malnourished, was featured on the G1 news portal. During the same period, the yanomami association requested that the photograph be removed from the media. The paper’s central question is whether reporting the death of the indigenous woman, G1, in a mediatized context distances itself from the way the yanomami think about death in order to make the event intelligible in our culture. The guiding question is what frames of meaning the newspaper uses to translate the indigenous woman’s death into our culture. As a basis, this text draws on the concepts of happening (Quéré, 2005, 2012), framing (Goffman, 2012), culture with Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (2014), and the perspective of pragmatist philosophy. The framing given to the death of the indigenous woman was identified as being focused on the ‘public health’ frame. This was evident from the external links that the newspaper produced around the death. The article establishes a temporal framework that is not part of yanomami culture, making death a concept that does not align with indigenous cosmology. The conclusion drawn from the findings is that the framing of the indigenous woman’s death serves the purpose of making it understandable to non-indigenous readers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on the importance that digital information environments currently represent in accessing and retrieving information, we seek to assess the findability of information on the website of the Archivo General de la Nación de Colombia. For this purpose, a checklist was used to analyze the attributes of information findability in informational environments. The mentioned website satisfied some of the attributes, and it is still necessary to implement improvements that suit both these attributes and the current technological requirements. Based on a less technical view, the importance of the participation of Information Science professionals in the design and development process of digital information environments is emphasized.

This work aims to present the act of writing, present in the work Becos da Memória, by Conceição Evaristo (2017), as a form of resistance to a subalternizing social order within the context in which there is a scarcity of literacy. In this way, we intend to present arguments that bring together the theories of Spinoza, Lotman, Rancière and Derrida - among other important authors in the field of Communication - with excerpts from Becos da Memória, in order to illustrate propositions for a new way of thinking about modes of dissensual politics, considering that they transpose socially established contexts.

Introduction: The digital platforms have become a place for sharing intimate issues, for instance, to talk about one's own illness, what characterize an extimacy movement, boosted by the mediatization process. This dynamic is commonly used by patients with rare diseases -- as Turner Syndrome -- due to its low frequency, the stigmas and the unfamiliarity of doctors and people in general. Objectives: Comprehend and analyze how, in the ambience of mediatization, occurs the process of extimacy in patients with Turner Syndrome on the Instagram profile Turner & Eu and on the Butterfly TV YouTube channel. Methodology: Using the Analysis of Discursive Circulation, the meanings contained in two posts of the Instagram profile and in one video of the YouTube channel were studied through an intertextual analysis of the discursive operations. Results: The extimacy process aims no just to expose intimate issues, but it is also a way of self-affirmation, validation, self-organization, inspiration and it enables the end of stigmas, providing a reconfiguration of the illness. Conclusion: The extimacy involves two dimensions: the temporality of each patient and the digital platform where this movement happens. Besides that, it is also a process collaboratively built.

In this study, we aim to understand the quality of podcasting as a reinventor of audio narratives and its potential as part of an independent and social radio. In this conception, radio is seen more as a language than as a medium, and the resulting productions aim to disseminate educationalcultural content with an authorial and counter-hegemonic bias. To exemplify these arguments, two Brazilian podcasts are described: Redes da Maré, a community communication initiative in the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, and Cirandeiras, a project in Northeast Brazil that gives voice to various feminist causes.

The media influence in the reflective and critically formation citizen process gives rise to this study. The aim was to develop a game to address violence in affective-sexual relationships among adolescents from a gender perspective. The methodology was developed in stages (since the conception to evaluation) and several theories and procedures were used according to the stage. The results were the basis for the design and development of a game to address the violence in a playful way, without the social constraints of daily life and the right and wrong concepts, in order to mobilize critical thinking and enabling discursive practices for reframe the meanings that involve affective-sexual relationships.

The present work is the result of a thesis that focused on the study of the production of documentary films that address peripheral social issues. It is an excerpt that presents concepts that bring to the debate the possible relationships established between documentarians and social actors, using the Buberian philosophy to name them and analyze their impacts on the results of documentary films. To do so, it relies on a bibliographic survey and a descriptive methodology of an analytical nature. Based on the concepts and considerations of documentary film theorists such as Nichols, Gauthier, Freire and Ramos, the work argues that the revelation of the relationship between documentarians and social actors can serve as an artifice for a narrative closer to the reality that occurred during production filmic.

The purpose of this text is both to reflect on how hegemonic communication, especially in television journalism, relates to the indigenous issue, and to imagine possibilities of decolonizing media representations of indigenous population by overcoming the Eurocentric view. Notably, we consider it relevant to discuss the journalistic approach on the topic and the necessary surpassing of the paradigm that indigenous people are not autonomous individuals in order for them to become communicational citizens. The decolonial shift caused by self-representation of indigenous peoples is highlighted as fundamental for the transformation of these relations and for greater indigenous protagonism in telejournalism.

This study investigated whether journalists from educational television stations apprehend contextualized knowledge about the semi-arid territories and their societies, from the stories and programs produced by TV Caatinga, webtv of the Federal University of São Francisco Valley. Questionnaires were applied and interviews were conducted with professionals from partner broadcasters of the university TV based in the Northeast and Southeast. The material was evaluated and compared with the study of the exhibition of TV Caatinga's content in the referred TVs, from the contrastive ethno-research. As main results, it was observed that content contextualized with the Semi-Arid, which enables other ways of representing these territories, closer to reality and without distortions, promoted access and transformation of knowledge for journalists from three stations participating in all stages of the research.

Considering the growing need for greater efficiency in public projects and the essential role of communication in the success of project management, this study sought, based on the mapping of the literature, to identify how national studies on public project management addresses communication. To this end, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted, with a survey of papers published in national journals in the last ten years. The data were collected in two databases, Portal Periódicos Capes and Google Scholar. The results show little occurrence of studies related to the theme during the entire period (2011 to 2021). It was found that, although not recent, the subject is still incipient and represents a small portion when compared to the total of works produced in the field of communication management in projects, with a vast scope for exploration. The research also identified, in the studies found, emphasis on communication management as an essential tool for the success of various government actions in the form of public projects, especially to identify and manage stakeholder expectations, plan communications and ensure that the information is passed on in a clear and objective manner, including to the citizen.

The article analyzes the proposal of Professor Scott Galloway, from New York University, at SXSW, in Austin, Texas, in April 2022. He criticized what Mark Zuckerberg, creator of Facebook, now Meta, presented as the future of Internet, saying that a metaverse based on virtual reality would not be viable. This idea has its reasons. One of them is the difficulty of implementing a visual structure to maintain the metaverse, in addition to the costs of the equipment needed to access it. There are other reasons to think that Zuckerberg's ideals are not the easiest and simplest to fulfill, which will be analyzed in the course of this exposition. Speeches by Zuckerberg himself, and people connected to him, and articles about the metaverse will serve as a basis for reflection, in addition to other relevant points to demonstrate how the idea can be considered plural and inclusive.

The article proposes a reflection on a certain normalization of moral harassment in the work environment based on the television program MasterChef Brasil, in which a process of encouraging this harmful practice is delivered to the symbolic consumption of spectators. Through a methodology based on a theoretical framework of analysis, the present investigation has as its central concern an understanding of certain consumption logics that would be founding the aforementioned media product. We were interested in probing why a show with significant ratings would encourage a harmful attitude towards people in the workplace. Although in a comical and mediatized way, it was seen that a way of thinking and acting resulting from the neoliberal logic spread in our social web serves as an engine that encourages and presents as justifiable this way of managing people in the competitive labor market.

Objective: To identify how care is provided to people living with ostomy in the health care network from the perspective of nurses. Methods: Qualitative, descriptive study, developed with 29 nurses who worked in the Health Care Network who provide care to patients with ostomy. The methodological theoretical framework used was Minayo's social research, which is based on historical and dialectical materialism.Data collection carried out in March and April 2018, through a semi-structured interview. Thematic analysis of the data was carried out. Results: Weaknesses were identified in communication in the health care network, as well as in the care actions carried out by nurses to people living with stomas, demonstrating a centralized care and failure in care due to the lack of continuing education. Conclusion: The care of ostomy patients has points to be improved, such as defining an itinerary for this patient, centralization of care, ensuring continuity of care and completeness, referral and counter-referral, need for effective communication between the health teams that care for these patients as well as lack of continuing education.

Objective: To develop and validate an educational folder for use in people with Heart Failure. Methods: Study with a methodological approach for the elaboration of an educational folder and validation by experts. Technical specialists were nurses, cardiology specialists, who validated content and appearance; Specialist designers validated appearance, aesthetics and visual communication. The content validity index (IVC) was calculated; responses were consistent when Cronbach's alpha > 0.60 and the inter-rater agreement index (IRA) was calculated. Results: High agreement among nurses (ARI = 1), almost perfect internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.84), total and isolated CVI above 0.8. The booklet was considered valid. For graphic designers, the overall IVC achieved a value that guaranteed appearance validity. Conclusion: The educational booklet was validated by the judges and is presented as an instrument to assist in the preparation for discharge and long-term follow-up of patients with HF.

Given the distrust faced by politicians, in recent years, individuals with consolidated careers in areas such as entertainment, education and entrepreneurship have entered politics and assumed office in key positions around the world. In this scenario, the article aims to investigate the phenomenon of the rise of outsiders in politics. The investigation starts from an analysis of the causes that propitiated the phenomenon, moves on to a theoretical articulation about the concept of outsider and presents a mapping of individuals who stepped outside of their original professions to become heads of government in the last two decades. Among the findings discovered by the research, 38 Presidents and 10 Prime Ministers were identified, and the number of outsiders who took office in these positions between 2011 and 2019 almost doubled compared to the period from 2001 to 2010.

Sport, football in particular, and the media have developed a complex, mutually advantageous relationship over several decades. However, to date, studies on this symbiotic relationship are still limited, noting an apparent lack of scientific support, especially concerning the effects that the media can have on professional football players. Thus, this narrative review aimed to contribute to a better understanding of this phenomenon. The literature on this matter focuses mainly on audiences, considered here as recipients of messages. However, essentially, studies indicate some difficulty in defining a specific communication model for sport, namely regarding the hypothetical cause/effect relationship (message/effect on the receiver). Furthermore, it should be considered that this media/sport symbiosis evolves over time in a self-feeding circuit, boosted by technology and the social and cultural context that surrounds sports. Although the consulted literature suggests the existence of an effect of the media in professional football, there does not seem to be solid evidence of this influence, for example, in the sports readiness of players and/or teams. In the opinion of the consulted authors, the subject requires a bio-behavioural approach in the sense of providing explanations for behavioural events but also of a psychophysiological nature associated with competitive stress. There will be a long way to go in understanding this issue, where the perspective of professional football players and coaches will appear as an immediate and fundamental contribution to leverage research in this area.

The article intends to demonstrate the existing differences and similarities in the internal communication of the black social movements of Santa Catarina comparing the generations previous to the advent and popularization of the Internet with the contemporary generations to this tool. We interviewed three people from different generations so that, based on their reports and memories, we could observe whether there were indeed changes. Our object of study was the Núcleo de Estudos Negros (NEN), an organization of the black movement, located in the city of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. In addition to communication, we briefly address the memory of black militancy and its access to technological devices. With this study, we were able to verify the speed and the feeling of proximity allowed with Internet access, at the same time that the tool also generates concern in contemporary militancy with the problems of losing identification and belonging to the community and the notion of territoriality.

This research aims to discuss students' communication in inclusive education during remote teaching. It also aims to seek information about the possibilities and difficulties regarding remote education for students of inclusive education, to analyze the specificities of some deficiencies, and think possibilities for a remote education as an accessible communication in this teaching format. Therefore, it has made, in the first moment, a literary review and applied a questionary for teachers of regular teaching and of Specialized Educational Care (SEC) and to the management team of public and private schools. The questionary has four questions about the moment of social withdrawal that we are living. In the sequence, it has analyzed the answers and discussed based on the constructed theoretical framework, trying to understand the school's reality about the remote teaching to inclusive education. In front of this panorama, it concludes that the teaching methodologies have remodeled, resignifying the actions from a new concept that the pandemic brought. It has been found inside the term Education for All, in a general way, the students are being attended, considering their specificities. However, communication difficulties and access from referred to the depositions, that can influence the student's learnings. Actions as the family partnership and linked strategies are expected to reach the student. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The mapping and analysis of emotions and feelings in content published on online social networks has been one of the most modern tools in use today to promote engaging and effective communication with diverse audiences on the internet. With the advancement of algorithmic and artificial intelligence technologies, the resource has proven useful for identifying and responding to pre-programmed emotions. In this article, after an extensive literature review on the state of the art of studies that refer to the emotional turn in the field of communication, two interactive tools based on emotional responses are presented: the chatbot Fabi Grossi and the emotion monitoring system Code of Hope. It is concluded that both, despite diverging in the way they work, have similar premises in understanding the importance of the emotional dimension of communication to prevent cases of suicide among young people and represent good examples of how the emotional turn can be useful and effective in the context of automated communication systems.

Aiming to understand the communicational and affective potentialities of music, it is observed the role of timbre in the formation of blocks of sensation that provoke perception to cross thresholds of ecstasy and trance, also responsible for potentializing meanings and the creation of percepts during musical performances. We interviewed members of Brazilian indie rock bands active between 2015 and 2020 and analyzed both their phonographic records and live shows published on Youtube. We then describe the processes of singularization hat have been developed. The results suggest that the analyzed blocks of sensation, arising from the interaction of human and non-human elements, expand the virtuality of timbre and potentiate aesthetics and politics within the scope of Brazilian indie rock.

The intention of the article is to highlight the institutional role of communication in combating factors that can threaten the integrity of democracy. The empirical object in question is the episode of the press conference organized by the then communications minister, Fabio Faria, on 24/10/2022, when he declared that there was evidence of fraud in the election, on the eve of the elections for the Presidency of the Republic of Brazil. The aim is to analyze how these statements can shake the pillars of democracy: Exactly: classify by content; check for signs of fake news; and identify threats to democracy. To this end, the study relies mainly on Bourdieu, Gomes and Proctor. In the end, the analysis also allowed us to infer that disinformation fosters very important anti-democratic actions.

An experience report with the purpose of describing an empirical experience of a nurse during the attention to an elderly patient under hospital palliative care, with emphasis to communication. A descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, characterized as an experience report of a nurse in a private hospital located in the state of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. The report describes the experience of a nurse using communication as a strategy in the care of an elderly patient under palliative care. The study demonstrated that communication is indispensable for attaining comprehensive care, as envisaged for palliative care, as well as an improved end-of-life care during the final stages of patients without perspective of cure. Adequate communication by the nurse creates trust and safety to the patient and family members, substituting feelings of fear, uncertainty and pain, commonly reported by patients under palliative care.

Marital violence is a serious public health problem. Initiatives aimed at understanding the elements involved in domestic violence are relevant to better understand it and to develop intervention tools. This is a qualitative study and it aims to analyze and understand the conceptions of love relationships in the reports of men accused of conjugal violence and framed under Law 11.340, Maria da Penha, in a Brazilian capital. A Sociodemographic questionnaire and Focus Group were applied to data collection. Thematic Analysis was used to highlight the results concerning the concept of love relationships, couple's communication, and conflict resolution strategies and their subcategories. It was verified how much the traditional male figure faces a process of ambiguity in his social role, affecting the marital relationship. In addition, the use of violence as an ineffective strategy for conflict resolution and the love idealization occupy a prominent place. The importance of research and interventions in this population is emphasized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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]

From an interdisciplinary perspective, this article addresses the case of the archive repository of the indigenous women’s collective ARETEDE and the community radio station La Voz Indígena (northern Argentina). Specifically, we carry out an analysis that accounts for the ethnographic process we implemented, detailing the dimensions of inquiry, the operations that allowed us to study the different sides of the archive and the thematic shifts we found. To this end, the text is organized as follows: first, it shows the tensions between the marks of statehood and the practices of resistance that unfold within the framework of a process of subjectivation; second, it analyzes how oral memories and communication converge in the production of a form of indigenous history that seeks to evidence the processes of territorial dispossession; and finally, it shows how the archive ends up constituting a technology of struggle that seeks to challenge and twist the dominant regimes of historicity and coloniality.

Martin Buber's invitation to the meeting with the I-Thou principle, is an ethical horizon in Vilém Flusser's thinking. Based on concepts defended by the Czech-Brazilian essayist, such as conversation, discourse and dialogue, this paper aims to interpret the author's own textual production - here, specifically in the autobiography Bodenlos. As a methodological contribution, by the very nature of the research, it uses bibliographic research and, consistent with the theoretical framework, privileges interpretation in place of analytical instruments. As results, it indicates the manifestation of the definition of communication proposed by Flusser - the relationship between dialogues and discourses - in the narratives produced by the author himself.

The aim of this paper is to analyze reader's place of speech in the Globo Rural magazine. To do that, the communication theories that focus the active role of the reception in the circularity of the communicative process are used. The corpus consists of 1170 texts published in the opinion section of 30 editions of the magazine between 1985 and 2015. The study uses a qualitative approach to investigate the place of speech that is demarked in the interaction between the public and the magazine and aims to connect it to the decoding positions, when assumed by the readers. The results show that the textual genre and the editorial format establish an inter-relation with the media consumers and, although the mediation through dialogue with an imagined rural subject is evident, it is not exclusive.

We seek to understand health conditions and experiences of xenophobia among refugee Venezuelan immigrants in digital journalistic reporting in Brazil from June to September 2018. We evaluated the description of perceptions of xenophobia and health services access, as well as attributions of responsibility to Venezuelans for the return of measles to Brazil. Through a qualitative and bibliographic investigation, we interpret selected narratives in the media vehicles: O Estado de S. Paulo, Folha de S. Paulo, O Globo, and G1. The intersection of narratives with theoretical verification and opinions of readers indicated xenophobic practices that impact on the quality of life of these people, as well as social diffusion of Venezuelan migration as a problem that affected well-being of these individuals. We conclude that xenophobia interfered in the healthcare of immigrants in Brazil and journalism reinforced this condition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The project produced 106 posts, 3 quizzes, 2 video lives, 14 videos, and 16 podcasts. The first phase began with the fight against COVID-19, the second with the appreciation of the "Sistema Único de Saúde" (Brazilian's public health system), and the third with various health issues. The main result is disseminating quality content in accessible language, promoting community empowerment. The project enrolled researchers and health professionals from several Brazilian regions enriching academic training, eliciting health content creation skills in knowledge translation and interprofessional competencies for future health professionals.

This article is a theoretical review that aims to demonstrate the potential of the social technology of memory, developed by Museu da Pessoa (2009), in convergence with life history interviews as a methodological procedure aimed at research in communication area. The intention is to highlight how the social technology of memory and life history interviews can help in the search for answers in research in the sciences communication. For the development of this article, a bibliographic survey was used as a method. Since the method has its origins in social psychology and is used in several areas of knowledge, turns it self to the epistemology of communication and the notion of communication as a bond, conceptualized by Muniz Sodré (2014), to describe how the social technology of memory and life history interviews can be thought of from the point of view of communication and for research in communication. It is important to visualize aspects of the epistemology of communication, in order to understand the potential of life history and to trace paths that allow normalizing in which possibilities and for what purposes the method can be used. The results demonstrate that the use of life history associated with the social technology of memory brings possibilities to answering problems in the communication sciences and to act in the strengthening of the field, from the understanding of communication as a constitutive action of social phenomena. In addition, the life story interview was revealed as a tool for social transformation considering the direct association between individual and collective memory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Football clubs' communication offices are increasingly important for what echoes in the media about their teams. This article has, therefore, two central objectives. Firstly, a literature review aims to understand the importance of communication in sports. Then, it is also the purpose of the text to understand if the media influence the communication strategies of Futebol Clube do Porto (FCP) from the perception of their supporters. The analysis uses qualitative and quantitative techniques, such as exploratory interviews with journalists and FCP communication elements and applying a questionnaire survey to a non-probabilistic convenience sample to accomplish these objectives.

The present study aimed to analyze the influence of the media in professional football by considering the perception of clubs' coaches and communication advisors. The sample consisted of a group of five communication advisors and seven coaches from Portuguese football clubs, to whom a semi-structured interview from the first and second leagues was applied. The responses obtained were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis methodology. The results obtained show that the media are positioned as an important influencing factor in the players' performance. The massification of information and sports content as well as the transformation process that sports communication goes through thus positioned them. Due to the unequivocal effect of the media, some coaches report an environment of tension around their players, which has led to the application of psychological and communicational strategies capable of motivating their athletes towards success. However, the interviewees' perception of the importance of being continuously informed is relevant, causing a need for closer monitoring. The solution offered was internal training for professional football players and coaches in order to obtain a better communication efficiency for the clubs. We found, in short, that the media advisors and coaches interviewed consider the media to be a relevant factor of influence over professional football, with the potential to provoke teams, namely, lack of confidence, cohesion and tension.

The paper presents the initial proposal for a communication model based on the ontological turn, taking the knowledge of the original peoples of Brazil not as a metaphor, but as analogues of concepts, based on three folds. The first one, the communication of things, deals with the contributions of actor-network theory to the field of communication, especially from the perspective that humans and nonhumans communicate, as a shortcut to access the second fold, communication between worlds, especially from the understanding of the hyperconnection of forest peoples as a communicational experience. The third fold concerns the Amerindian shamanic translation operation, which we intend to take as a reference to think about communication by equivocation. Finally, we systematized the proposal as a starting point for further research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

What do baby product’s advertisement tell about fathers’ and mothers’ place in parentality? This text, grounded on the work of Corrêa (2011), analyses 423 instagram posts of products from the Huggies and Neslac from January 2020 to December 2021, underlining the roles of fathers and mothers in baby care. The analysis suggests that (a) fathers are shown in 19 posts (4,49%); (b) its presence is mostly linked with fun, not care; (c) only one image shows a father taking care of a baby. Although the roles of women and men, especially as mothers and fathers, are changing in contemporary society, the adaptation of advertising to this context is still timid.These data are analyzed from the perspective of gender and identity studies.

This article, which is part of the debate on Communication and Environment, analyses reasons for the scarce coverage, with a predominantly economic bias, on wind energy produced by the main potiguar newspaper Tribuna do Norte, between January 2003 and January 2004. This period was a milestone for media planning on the topic due to social, economic, and environmental expectations related to the opening of the first wind farm in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, currently the largest producer of this type of energy in Brazil. The State was moving towards production of sustainable energy, which is why we sought to understand the context in which the theme gained visibility due to its environmental relevance for the country. The methodological path chosen was based on Critical Discourse Analysis (FAIRCLOUGH, 1989, 1995, 2001), represented by "Discursive Practice" and "Sociocultural Practice". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we want to show that the establishment in Gilles Deleuze, happens when communication is transcended, so that the creation presupposes communication. In order to get to the consistency of this argument, we present how the communication appears in Deleuze; present the concept of creation and how it implies a time of no communication; argue, especially with Friedrich Nietzsche, that communication is not an option for humans, but a necessity, and that therefore we need to understand that the creation occurs precisely in the leak of communication, in that it works to way of a sieve.

This investigation seeks to delineate the imbrications existing in the binomial communication and culture, with the objective of understanding the social inclusion dispositif from the analysis of the film "Colegas", released in 2013, and the socio-historical context of its production, based on notion of dispositif used by Foucault (2015) and operationalized by Deleuze (1996). As a procedure, the dispositif requires the method of discourse analysis used in this study, in line with film analysis, based on Vanoye and Goliot-Lété (2006), culminating in the hybrid called film discourse analysis. As a result, it made it possible to understand how the meanings manifested in "Colegas" dialogue with the discourses circulating in contemporary society about the inclusion of people with Down syndrome and the main conclusion is that the subject with Down was built in "Colegas" with based on the historical moment of production of the film, which has as its premise the dispositif of social inclusion.
