This work offers a series of reflections derived from a completed doctoral thesis, in which the practices and meanings that a group of Mexican LGBTIQ+ young people give to their cell phone and the digital space are analyzed. The scarcity of research on sex-gender differences from a communication perspective highlights a powerful line of research that is beginning to emerge in the region. Therefore, offering coordinates on how to problematize this youth sector, what theoretical perspective adapts to its analytical framework and which young people identify with it, allows us to contribute to the legitimacy of this subfield within youth and communication studies.

Subjects integrate their daily experiences with countless digital platforms, making it increasingly difficult to separate algorithms from the activities that constitute culture and politics. This article presents the Map of Algorithmic Mediations, a theoretical-methodological framework inspired by the nocturnal maps of Jesús Martín-Barbero. The aim is to propose a flexible cartography that allows for an understanding of the particularities of technological and algorithmic artifacts, as well as the processes of mediation, use, and appropriation that involve them.

Reflective essay whose proposition addresses the contemporary report entitled "Black Mirror" of real life: Brazilian founds Startup to recreate dead people, written for Forbes Brasil magazine and published on September 20, 2020. What interests us to problematize in this essay concerns the government of the other, the discipline and the possible biopolitical changes resulting from this enternization of oneself. From the Cultural Studies, specificly using concepts of Foucault and Byung-Chul Han, we analyze how the discourses about death are presented in this report, understanding the government of bodies and ways of life, in a perspective in which a human identity would be mapped, processed and monetized in an artificial intelligence. Expanding the Foucaultian meaning, we would be moving from disciplinary society and biopolitics to income society and from "psychopolitics", from panopticon to virtual or digital pan-optical. It is seductive to stay alive and produce positive emotions in the people we love, even after our death. For health professionals, these reflections are valid in the conduction of care practices and in understanding finitude. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The reflective article examines the nature of contemporary humanities in the context of the digital and globalized era. Emphasis is placed on their ability to integrate diverse cultural and technological perspectives, reflecting their significance in constructing a critical and contextualized understanding of reality. Despite facing challenges such as utilitarian pressure and the prioritization of disciplines, contemporary humanities can leverage these pressures as opportunities to address ethical and social issues. Additionally, the shift towards a transdisciplinary approach in contemporary humanities is highlighted, breaking traditional barriers to address complex problems that transcend conventional academic boundaries. Furthermore, the crucial role of the humanities today is underscored by providing a profound understanding of the human condition and its complexities, fostering empathy and cross-cultural understanding. Finally, the transgressive and undisciplined nature of the humanities is emphasized as a driving force to maintain their dynamism and relevance by challenging existing norms and expanding the boundaries of knowledge.

The article proposes a review of the perspective of mediations of Latin American Cultural Studies for research on audiovisual reception via streaming carried out in the context of platformization and modulation by algorithms. First, it contextualizes the subscription VoD market and its implications for the audience. It then summarizes some criticisms, in the field of reception, of the use of the idea of mediations in Martín-Barbero, suggesting a closer approach to EPC as a contribution to the questions raised. Finally, in a general critique of public policies for the segment, it defends the importance of subjects/users in the elaboration of regulation for the sector, concluding with reception studies as a tool in this sense.

The article presents research results on eight latin-american digital experiences, understood as belonging to independent journalism. The objective was to understand the emergence of a new cultural form, resulting from the region's territorial processes. The research bases itself on the Culture Studies and considers central the concept of cultural form, from Raymond Williams (1979). It goes through the productive process of the eight sites through the methodological protocol of the culture circuit, from Richard Johnson (2010). The results point towards the emergence of a cultural form, whose matrices are in both alternative and traditional journalism, a result of historical processes that generate a practice and product with particular characteristics.

We established analyses about the identity construction of young people and some implications related to the function of the school as a trainer of these subjects. The research was carried out using a semi-structured questionnaire through an electronic form, taking a qualitative approach. The process of listening to the young subject is interpreted in this research as an instrument to capture the meaning between what is experienced and what is stated, as a possibility of interpreting their experiences, making it possible to understand the function of the school in relation to the development of their practices. We present the challenges of the social insertion of young people in the job market, as well as the transition of young people to the adult world and their expectations in relation to school and what was developed in that space. We consider the school as an educational institution linked to processes of social and historical construction of these subjects who are presented in a globalized world in constant adaptation and transformation.

Inscribed in the theoretical perspective of Cultural Studies in Education, the article presents a discussion about the possibilities of a pedagogical dimension of urbanism based on research whose object of study was the proposal for the revitalization of Cais Mauá in Porto Alegre/RS/BR. In this direction, it is exposed and debated the concept of cultural pedagogies, adopted for the analysis of topics on the proposal website, with approaches to the notion of revitalization in urbanism. It argues about the productivity of the articulation between different fields of knowledge - urbanism and education - for the investigation of cities and the practices that constitute them. Strategies used in the website to guide public perceptions are pointed out, as they teach what would be desirable to improve life in the city. As a corollary, the concept of pedagogies of urbanism is understood as productive to envision a certain way of conducting life in cities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper analyzes the representations of the impacts of Rio 2016 Olympic Games built in the series "Rio Voices: our Olympic odyssey", published on the news portal of The Guardian from August 5, 2015 to August 19, 2017. The series is composed by 21 reports written by community journalists from three favelas of Rio about the repercussions of Rio 2016 Olympic Games on their daily lives. As a theoretical-methodological basis, we use the cultural analysis, conceived from the perspective of the Cultural Studies, to discuss the mediations between lived culture in Rio's favelas and its representations in journalistic discourse. As a result, we concluded that the sports mega-event was represented as a period of silencing of the margins, leading to an intensification of the peripheralization process of social minorities in the country. Finally, we point out the contributions of activating marginalized voices in the series for the approximation between culture and journalistic discourse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Transmedia narrative entails a new configuration of cultural projects mediated by communication channels, combining traditional (television, radio, print media) and contemporary (online media, social media) ones. In them, the single management of messages is transcended and planned so that it makes sense through the media, and the timing of message delivery is diversified. As an heir to the conceptual rock album, the visual album establishes an extended music video format, whose prominent features are unity and coherence of the visual discourses. The article examines the visual motifs as recognizable symbols of the Spanish tradition and cultural appropriation by Rosalía's visual album El Mal Querer (2018). The analysis is part of a reflection on the current music video and other well-known visual albums. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Covid-19 pandemic emerges as a challenge to old forms of relationships based on physical contact, thus driving new forms that break social isolation. In this way, the dating application, Tinder, becomes one of the propitious spaces for the development of contacts, whether they are more durable and / or disposable. Based on a cultural analysis of the experiences of seven gay and bisexual men who use the application, which was supported by Gender and Sexuality Studies and Cultural Studies in Education, I perceive two movements: first, the strengthening of the idealization of romantic love, and second, the non-permanent detachment of disposable relationships, which are now more contained than before because of fear and loneliness. These considerations point to the effects of a consumer society fed by capitalism and a producer of mercantilist subjectivities. Both the myth of romantic love, the foundation of bourgeois society and the basis for hegemonic social and cultural structures, and the perishability of affective relationships are marks of liquid modernity, with a fluid form of relationships, without rigid commitments.

The academic approach between comparative literature and cultural studies, a relevant aspect of post-colonial research, has produced challenging scientific hypotheses. In this article, we discuss the academic-scientific implications of using the sociological concept of "place of speech" for the analysis of literary enunciation. For this purpose, we refer to theories of fictional discourse and narrative, postcolonial theories, and sociological concepts about the representativeness of minority social groups. As an illustration of the proposed ideas, in the end, we mention African literary writers, representatives of the post-colonial world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present manuscript refers to the translation of the introductory text of the Routledge Handbook of Physical Cultural Studies, edited by Michael Silk (University of Bournemouth, England), David Andrews (University of Maryland, United States) and Holly Thorpe (University of Waikato, New Zealand). The book is composed of 58 chapters, organized in nine sections, with a total of 610 pages in English, bringing together 89 researchers from different countries, with the aim of presenting the state of the art of Physical Cultural Studies/PCS. As an outcome of British Cultural Studies and as a complement to the Sociology of Sport, the PCS is concerned with identifying, understanding and intervening in the power relations materialized in the complex expressions of physical culture (such as sport, fitness, dance, leisure, among others), from contextual analysis of physicality crossed by social lines of difference. It is from the introduction of the book that historical, epistemological and methodological aspects of the PCS are provided, showing efforts for a definition of this field, as well as initial systematizations that concern the act of 'doing PCS', through eight dimensions that compose it (empirical, contextual, transdisciplinary, theoretical, political, qualitative, self-reflective and pedagogical). Finally, with this translation, it is expected to expand the access of the Brazilian academic community to the introduction to the PCS, in its fundamental aspects, through themes notably focused to the body and on the relations and effects of social power that cross physical culture.

We propose a cultural analysis of the serie Sense8, based on the culture circuit model (JOHNSON, 2010), considering more emphatically the articulation between production, text and lived cultures. Combining literature review, documentary research and theoretical-conceptual contributions from recent studies on media image, we focus on the connections between contemporary processes of audiovisual production and circulation, technical and narrative dimensions of the serie and the crossings between private lives and public representations.

The article provides a critical commentary of the evolution of Carlos Rincón's work between 1978 and 1999, a period in which the author passes from a literary reading mode to a culturalist one. It argues that, despite this shift, the Colombian cultural critic always remained loyal to the following principles: 1) the interpretation of any cultural object depends on the historical and social circumstances in which it is inscribed and read; 2) cultural objects operate on real life; therefore, the relation between text and world is one of continuity and interpenetration, rather than of exclusion; 3) every literary text is a palimpsest, for which reason it bears the traces of a tradition that is recoded. The review is carried out on the basis of a reflection on Carlos Rincón's position in some of the most important epistemological debates of the last decades of the 20th century.

This work seeks to identify current trends in Communication Research in Brazil in the Cultural Studies field. Therefore, it carries out a survey based on the conference proceedings of the Brazilian Society of Interdisciplinary Communication Studies (Intercom), in the past ten years. The results show that the Brazilian research in Cultural Studies and Communication is mainly structured through the audience studies and identity issues. Another inference is that Cultural Studies redirected the focus of Communication research to subjects and their relationships. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article we reflect on the way journalism mediates the existence of blockbuster visual arts exhibitions while elaborates a map of perceptions on them. We explore evidences and approaches of the qualitative analysis of the coverage of six exhibitions that happened in Brazil between 2010 and 2016. In dialogue with cultural studies, and based on the event studies, we propose the reading of 20 stories, punctuating the cognitive map that journalism builds on the event. By systematically demarcating its salience, journalism participates in the creation of the aura effect of these events, promotes the cult of biography and silences the public. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study reflects about the value of the articulation between Political Economy of Communication and Latin American Cultural Studies in the composition of a totalizing perspective on the phenomena and communicational processes proper to the relationship between Media and Daily life. It starts from the exposition of what is the research in Media and Daily Life, and then discusses why such theoretical articulation is so expensive and can be conducted in methodological terms. For that, the concepts of everyday life, media and cultural mediations are fundamental - especially in the relations that they have and establish with the critical Latin American thinking of Communication.

This paper's objective is to present the debate between James Curran and David Morley about the supposed "revisionist" aspect of the Reception Studies from the begging of the 1990s. The context of this discussion is framed at the British and north-American context of the Political Economy of Communication and "non-radical" version of Cultural Studies. The confrontation between these two perspectives raise conflicts, but also common points, such as the political interest by the relation between power and micro process at the audience's practices; and the critique to the overly celebratory characteristic of some reception studies.

The article focuses on the relations between Cultural Studies and Marxism, pointing to both convergences (Curran and Grossberg) and divergences (Hall). We approach the space of the category of social class in the development of empirical researches of audience sheltered by Cultural Studies. The text also reflects on possible contributions of Bourdieu to this discussion, through the concepts of habitus, capitals and taste. In the end, we rely on fundamental authors for Cultural Studies to defend the resumption of a Marxist view on culture and communication, with a centrality to the study of social class.

This article proposes a dialogue with cultural studies, from the political economy of communication and culture (EPC). Are presented theoretical categories and analysis that while open common issues, between the two critics subfields of the communication, point to the inevitable tensions. The approach of reading fund proposal is Marx himself, in accordance to your method, present in some of his works featured here. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes five interviews displayed by Jornal Nacional (TV Globo) with the presidential candidates in the first round of the 2018 elections. Methodologically, the research is based on the discussion of interview and performance of subjects. The analysis shows that the presenters occupy a protagonist role close to the interviewees, using figures of languages and answering questions. It also questions the proximity of the format with the debate rather than interview, as the Jornal Nacional Journal calls it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
