ASPECTOS COMUNICATIVOS E CULTURAIS NOS H��BITOS CULIN��RIOS CAI��ARA DA COMUNIDADE QUILOMBOLA DA FAZENDA PICINGUABA, DE UBATUBA SP

Estudo sobre os processos comunicativos envoltos na transforma����o dos h��bitos culin��rios da comunidade quilombola da Fazenda Picinguaba de Ubatuba, SP. O objetivo �� entender as origens e as causas que provocaram altera����es nos h��bitos culin��rios da comunidade do Quilombo da Fazenda, a partir de uma an��lise comparativa entre os fazeres primitivos e os praticados hoje. Foi analisado tamb��m o processo comunicacional desenvolvido para a transmiss��o da cultura alimentar entre as gera����es, identificando as linguagens utilizadas. Como instrumento para o entendimento desses fen��menos, esta pesquisa foi realizada �� luz das teorias e conceitos dos estudos culturais; dos conceitos sobre comunidades e identidades, al��m da teoria da folkcomunica����o desenvolvida por Luiz Beltr��o. Para tanto, foi realizada pesquisa bibliogr��fica e estudo de documentos, al��m de entrevistas utilizando-se a modalidade hist��ria oral com os membros da comunidade. Os resultados obtidos apontam uma mudan��a nos h��bitos alimentares da comunidade do Quilombo da Fazenda, devido �� facilidade de acesso ao com��rcio de g��neros aliment��cios, decorrente da constru����o da rodovia Rio-Santos, e a influ��ncia trazida pela televis��o, a partir da implanta����o da rede de energia el��trica em 2008. No entanto, observamos que apesar dessa mudan��a, a base da cultura alimentar quilombola vem mantendo muito dos seus aspectos originais. A comunica����o dentro da comunidade quilombola e a transmiss��o dos saberes e fazeres tradicionais da comunidade ocorrem predominante pela oralidade. Identificamos a presen��a de dan��a, m��sica, roda de conversa, culin��ria, artesanato que correspondem aos g��neros da folkcomunica����o.

EX-VOTOS MIDI��TICOS E A RECONSTRU����O DA IDENTIDADE DA REVISTA AVE MARIA A supress��o dos ex-votos no in��cio da d��cada de 1970

No catolicismo popular, o devoto encontra formas pr��prias de manifestar a sua f��, distante muitas vezes da ortodoxia da Igreja. Os ex-votos s��o um exemplo claro dessa apropria����o de alguns elementos da tradi����o cat��lica e a sua aplica����o no cotidiano religioso do fiel. A revista Ave Maria desde a sua origem no ano de 1898 incentivou os leitores a testemunharem os favores recebidos de Deus por interm��dio de algum santo. Nasceu assim na revista o g��nero gra��as alcan��adas, que s��o cartas de fi��is manifestando milagres recebidos. Ap��s o Conc��lio Vaticano II, final da d��cada de 1960, a Igreja Cat��lica, sobretudo da Am��rica Latina, tentou purificar a f��. As pr��ticas devocionais, como a f�� nos santos, as promessas e os ex-votos foram claramente combatidos. Neste per��odo a revista Ave Maria suprime os ex-votos midi��ticos impressos. A compreens��o do processo comunicacional relacionado a este fato �� o objetivo dessa pesquisa. A metodologia ser�� composta de pesquisa bibliogr��fica e documental.

CONSTRU����ES IMAGIN��RIAS NO CONTEXTO DE UM FEN��MENO MUSICAL DE MASSA: O CASO DO CANTOR MICHEL TEL��

Estudo sobre o processo de constru����o imagin��ria do p��blico de g��nero feminino ao consumir os produtos dos fen��menos musicais de massa, no Brasil. Tendo como base o caso do sucesso do cantor Michel Tel��, representante do g��nero musical sertanejo universit��rio, o objetivo �� compreender o processo de constru����o imagin��ria que permeia a rela����o do p��blico feminino (f��s) e consumo do g��nero musical sertanejo universit��rio, a partir do discurso do cantor Michel Tel��. Para tal, ser�� tomado referencial te��rico do campo dos Estudos Culturais em di��logo com estudos sobre imagin��rio e m��sica de massa. A an��lise do discurso, de linha francesa, �� a metodologia empregada em duas inst��ncias para se testar as reflex��es constru��das com a base te��rica: a priori, a partir de um processo de observa����o participante, durante um espet��culo do artista, em que ser�� observada a intera����o entre fen��meno e p��blico, no momento de execu����o da sua m��sica Ai, se eu te pego! ; e, doravante, o discurso do m��sico �� analisado, por meio de entrevistas realizadas em programas televisivos. Um question��rio aplicado a uma amostra entre o p��blico feminino apreciador do cantor e de suas m��sicas contribui ainda no aprofundamento da reflex��o. Resulta desta pesquisa a compreens��o da proemin��ncia do discurso ao conte��do. Desta maneira, a import��ncia maior se encontra na forma com que o cantor dialoga com seu p��blico, por meio da imagem que ele constr��i em torno de si.

UMA NARRATIVA MIDIATIZADA DO COTIDIANO: As charges de Pol��tica Internacional de Angeli (2001-2012)

Esta pesquisa se insere nas discuss��es sobre comunica����o midi��tica nas intera����es sociais. Traz como tema a charge enquanto narrativa midiatizada do cotidiano, a partir de um estudo de natureza bibliogr��fica e de um exerc��cio de aplica����o no qual foram estudadas as charges de Angeli reunidas na colet��nea O lixo da hist��ria, publicada pela editora Companhia das Letras. Dentre os autores e teorias trabalhadas destacam-se: a conceitua����o de narrativa, proposta por Luiz Gonzaga Motta; a ideia da midiatiza����o da sociedade, a partir da discuss��o de Jos�� Luiz Braga; a teoria de media����es culturais de Jes��s Martin-Barbero; os estudos de cotidiano de Michel de Certeau; e o entendimento de cultura, fundamentado nos Estudos Culturais. A partir das leituras e an��lise realizadas, a pesquisa trouxe a tona as percep����es de que a charge �� uma narrativa do absurdo e narrativa absurda de um momento hist��rico, de maneira a inseri-la enquanto monumento historiogr��fico do cotidiano. Assim como �� feito com as narrativas jornal��sticas, a charge demanda uma vis��o cr��tica, observando n��o apenas a sua forma, mas sim o seu contexto.

MIDIA IMPRESSA NA TR��PLICE FRONTEIRA : estudo do jornal local A Gazeta do Igua��u

Este estudo analisa a m��dia impressa local produzida no lado brasileiro da Tr��plice Fronteira, regi��o lim��trofe entre Brasil, Paraguai e Argentina e toma como exemplar o jornal brasileiro A Gazeta do Igua��u, editado na cidade de Foz do Igua��u, PR, que comp��e a ��rea trinacional. Os principais objetivos s��o analisar as caracter��sticas desta m��dia local, a incid��ncia de not��cias sobre a fronteira, o relacionamento daquele ve��culo com as comunidades e com os grupos humanos que vivem na regi��o, bem como o grau de influ��ncia e o n��vel de comprometimento do jornal com a pol��tica de Foz do Igua��u. A base te��ricometodol��gica constituiu-se de bibliografia sobre a quest��o global- local, dos estudos sobre multiculturalismo e diversidade cultural (estudos culturais), e dos questionamentos acerca de comunica����o local e regional. As t��cnicas utilizadas foram, al��m da revis��o bibliogr��fica, a an��lise de conte��do do jornal A Gazeta do Igua��u e entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Dentre as conclus��es encontradas, verificou-se que a cobertura da fronteira �� uma pauta priorit��ria, mas que ao mesmo tempo, perde espa��o para o jornalismo de opini��o, atrav��s das diversas colunas de opini��o e sociais, que ocupam a maior parte do notici��rio cotidiano local.(AU)

REVISTA SENHOR: MODERNIDADE E CULTURA NA IMPRENSA BRASILEIRA

Revista Senhor: modernidade e cultura na imprensa brasileira tem como objetivo resgatar a hist��ria de uma publica����o que marcou ��poca. Produzida no per��odo de 1959 a 1964, a revista demonstrou seu papel como um espa��o central de discuss��o de temas culturais. Fruto de uma conjuntura espec��fica, SENHOR portou-se como uma enciclop��dia dos anos 50 e in��cio dos anos 60, divulgando, no conjunto de reportagens que produziu, cr��nicas, ensaios, cr��ticas e artigos, os valores e os movimentos culturais vigentes, muitas vezes expressando novas formas de comportamento, consideradas avan��adas ent��o. A metodologia usada na pesquisa �� a da an��lise descritiva e qualitativa do conte��do das mat��rias publicadas e o enfoque te��rico est�� baseado nos pressupostos da interdisciplinaridade da corrente dos Estudos Culturais. As conclus��es apontaram a caracteriza����o da revista como uma publica����o que traduz o Jornalismo Cultural formativo, voltada a pessoas intelectualizadas ou chamadas multiplicadoras de opini��o, revelando-se como uma das mais importantes revistas consideradas "cultas" do mercado brasileiro. Foi uma revista dirigida redominantemente para um p��blico masculino elitizado culturalmente e/ou economicamente. Concebe-se ainda a id��ia de que SENHOR, por seu projeto gr��fico e editorial, esteve na vanguarda das publica����es brasileiras de todos os tempos.(AU)

O MOVIMENTO DIRETAS J�� PELA ��TICA DE JANIO DE FREITAS NA FOLHA DE S.PAULO

O presente trabalho verificou como o jornalismo pode ser parceiro e fonte para a hist��ria por meio da reprodu����o e an��lise dos fatos pol��tico-econ��micos brasileiros nas p��ginas dos jornais impressos di��rios. Nessa perspectiva, as colunas escritas nos ��ltimos 25 anos (1983-2009) por Janio de Freitas, no jornal Folha de S.Paulo, significam interpreta����o e an��lise dessa hist��ria. Trata-se, portanto, de uma pesquisa qualitativa e est�� ancorada nos Estudos Culturais. O corpus desta pesquisa �� composto de um recorte de 47 coment��rios sobre as Diretas J�� , de janeiro at�� abril de 1984, per��odo em que ocorreram as principais mobiliza����es da sociedade civil pela elei����o direta para a Presid��ncia da Rep��blica e culminou com a vota����o e a rejei����o da emenda Dante de Oliveira pelo Congresso Nacional. No desenvolvimento do trabalho foram utilizadas as ferramentas da An��lise de Conte��do a partir das categorias anal��ticas criadas Personagens, Vota����o da Emenda Dante de Oliveira e Movimento Diretas J�� nas ruas , para descrever o conte��do textual das colunas. Para que se pudesse efetuar uma an��lise aprofundada do corpus da pesquisa foi utilizado o referencial te��rico da ACD An��lise Cr��tica do Discurso em nove das 47 colunas selecionadas. O crit��rio de escolha para essas colunas foi a identifica����o daquelas que no t��tulo j�� traziam uma refer��ncia expl��cita �� Campanha pelas Diretas J�� , ��s mobiliza����es nas ruas , A vota����o da emenda Dante de Oliveira , Ao processo de sucess��o presidencial ou as que tinham o seu conte��do integral sobre um dos temas. Este estudo constata a hip��tese de que o jornalista �� um historiador do cotidiano e que �� poss��vel fazer uma leitura da hist��ria da Campanha das Diretas J�� por meio das colunas de Janio de Freitas. Ao tecer em suas colunas o cen��rio da ��poca, desnuda para a hist��ria e para os historiadores o xadrez pol��tico personagens, acordos pol��ticos, vota����o da emenda e a campanha nas ruas que envolveu o processo. Dessa forma, a partir de suas lentes, oferece elementos para a constru����o da mem��ria coletiva sobre esse per��odo da hist��ria brasileira.(AU)

Imagined relationships: political leadership in contemporary democracies

The image and style of political leaders are important elements of leadership, and of politics generally. They are related to both political culture and institutions, and are framed in ritual and ceremony. In democratic policies, where there is choice rather than coercion, the mediation of leadership/people relations creates imagined relationships between imagined leaders and their equally imagined interlocutors, the people or the electorate (who also, of course, actually exist). These relationships form part of the political process. By identifying, and adapting, classical Aristotelian distinctions in rhetorical studies, we can better understand this element or moment of the process, in particular the creation of an imagined intimacy in contemporary politics between leaders and followers. Political science should draw upon other disciplines and subdisciplines such as political psychology, cultural studies, rhetorical analysis, and social anthropology in order to understand how mediated relationships are inscribed into political institutions and exchange.

Introduction

Werner Sombart (1863-1941) was a famous and controversial social scientist in Germany during the early 20th century. Highly influential, his work and reputation have been indelibly tainted by his embrace of National Socialism in the last decade of his life. Although Sombart left an enormous opus spanning disciplinary boundaries, the scholarly assessment of and intellectual reaction to his work inside and outside of Germany is divided, and ambivalent. Best known for his analyses of capitalism - his essay "Why is There No Socialism in the United States?" remains a classic - Sombart consistently responded to the social and political developments that have shaped the 20th century. This collection provides a representative sampling of those portions of Sombart's work that have stood the test of time. The volume opens with a substantial introduction by the editors reviewing Sombart's life and career, the evolution of his major intellectual concerns, his relation to Marx and Weber, and his political affiliation with the Nazis. Their selection of texts emphasizes areas of his economic and cultural thought that remain relevant to intellectual trends in the social sciences, particularly those trends that seek a more broadly based, cross-disciplinary approach to the relationship of culture and economics. Sombart's writings on capitalism are represented by essays on the nature and origin of the market system and the diversity of its actors and motives among the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. Also included is an excerpt from Sombart's controversial volume "The Jews and Modern Capitalism" exploring the widely perceived relation between economic life and Judaism as a religion. In essays on the economics of cultural processes, Sombart's comprehensive and expansive idea of cultural science yields remarkable and prophetic insights into the nature of urbanism, luxury consumption, fashion and the cultural secularization of love. The volume's final section consists of Sombart's reflections on the social influences of technology, the economic life of the future, and on socialism, including the influential essay "Why is There No Socialism in the United States?". Encapsulating the most valuable aspects of his work, this study provides clear demonstration of Sombart's sense for fine cultural distinctions and broad cultural developments and the predictive power of his analyses. It should be of interest to sociologists, economists, political scientists and specialists in cultural studies.

South Africa and the global game:football, apartheid and beyond

Firmly situating South African teams, players, and associations in the international framework in which they have to compete, South Africa and the Global Game: Football, Apartheid, and Beyond presents an interdisciplinary analysis of how and why South Africa underwent a remarkable transformation from a pariah in world sport to the first African host of a World Cup in 2010. Written by an eminent team of scholars, this special issue and book aims to examine the importance of football in South African society, revealing how the black oppression transformed a colonial game into a force for political, cultural and social liberation. It explores how the hosting of the 2010 World Cup aims to enhance the prestige of the post-apartheid nation, to generate economic growth and stimulate Pan-African pride. Among the themes dealt with are race and racism, class and gender dynamics, social identities, mass media and culture, and globalization. This collection of original and insightful essays will appeal to specialists in African Studies, Cultural Studies, and Sport Studies, as well as to non-specialist readers seeking to inform themselves ahead of the 2010 World Cup.

Economic life in the modern age

Werner Sombart (1863-1941) may well have been the most famous and controversial social scientist in Germany during the early twentieth century. Highly influential, his work and reputation have been indelibly tainted by his embrace of National Socialism in the last decade of his life. Although Sombart left an enormous opus spanning disciplinary boundaries, intellectual reaction to his work inside and outside of Germany is divided and ambivalent. Sombart consistently responded to the social and political developments that have shaped the twentieth century. Economic Life in the Modern Age provides a representative sampling of those portions of Sombart's work that have stood the test of time. The volume opens with a substantial introduction reviewing Sombart's life and career, the evolution of his major intellectual concerns, his relation to Marx and Weber, and his political affiliation with the Nazis. The editors' selection of texts emphasizes areas of Sombart's economic and cultural thought that remain relevant, particularly to those intellectual trends that seek a more broadly based, cross-disciplinary approach to culture and economics.

Ethnicities and values in a changing world

Recent debates about national identity, belonging and community cohesion can appear to suggest that ethnicity is a static entity and that ethnic difference is a source of conflict in itself. "Ethnicities and Values in a Changing World" presents an alternative account of ethnicity and calls into question models of community cohesion that present ethnicity as the source of antagonisms and differences that must be overcome. It suggests instead that ethnicity is itself multiple and changing and is unlikely to be a basis for articulating shared values. This volume brings together an international team of leading scholars in the field of ethnic studies in order to examine innovative articulations of ethnicity and challenge the contention that ethnicity is static or that it necessarily represents traditional values and cultures. Asserting that ethnicity is deployed in part as an expression of values and a model of ethical practice, this book examines displays of ethnicity as assertions of identity and statements about way of life, sense of entitlement and manner of connection to others. "Ethnicities and Values in a Changing World" draws together debates about the articulation of ethnic identity, the nature of our relation to each other and discussions of everyday ethics, thus engaging with discussions of racism, multiculturalism and community cohesion. As such, it will appeal not only to sociologists, but to anyone working in the fields of cultural studies, race and ethnicity, globalization, migration and anthropology.

Charlemagne���s crusaders: French collaboration in arms, 1941���1945

Military collaboration is one of the least acknowledged aspects of France under the Occupation. Yet from summer 1941 France raised a number of fighting units for Hitler���s armies, each with its distinctive mission and each drawing the Vichy regime deeper into collaboration with Nazi Germany. This article discusses that process and its diverse implications. It shows how the Paris collaborationists used military engagement to pressure the Vichy government into more activist collaboration and explores the divergent perspectives in which this was viewed from Berlin, Paris and Vichy; it considers the mobilising myths, motivations and misapprehensions behind military collaboration; and it identifies some of the anomalies of that collaboration, with its reconceptualising of France and Other, friend and foe, belonging and alienation. Those French ���patriots��� who fought in German uniform would become effective exiles from a homeland they departed to ���defend��� only to see it ���liberated��� by their ���enemies���. Exposing the divisions and the delusions underlying military collaboration, the article sheds light on conflicting political calculations and shifting allegiances in occupied France.

From the medicalisation of dementia to the politics of memory and identity in three Spanish documentary films:Bicicleta, cullera, poma, Las voces de la memoria and Bucarest: la mem��ria perduda

This paper explores how the concept of Alzheimer���s disease (AD) is constructed through Spanish media and documentary films and how it is represented. The article analyses three documentary films and the cultural and social contexts in and from which they emerged: Sol����s Bucarest: la mem��ria perduda [Bucharest: Memory Lost] (2007), Bosch��s Bicicleta, cullera, poma [Bicycle, Spoon, Apple] (2010) , and Frabra���s Las voces de la memoria [Memory��s Voices] (2011). The three documentary films approach AD from different perspectives, creating well-structured discourses of what AD represents for contemporary Spanish society, from medicalisation of AD to issues of personhood and citizenship. These three films are studied from an interdisciplinary perspective, in an effort to strengthen the links between ageing and dementia studies and cultural studies. Examining documentary film representations of AD from these perspectives enables semiotic analyses beyond the aesthetic perspectives of film studies, and the exploration of the articulation of knowledge and power in discourses about AD in contemporary Spain

Soccer, South Africa and celebrity status:Mark Fish, popular culture and the post-apartheid state

The rise of celebrity culture is a theme that has attracted a significant amount of attention within both mainstream sociology and cultural studies in more recent times. Ensuing debate has identified contemporary sports figures as an important facet of the celebrity���media nexus and as possible signifiers of cultural change. In this paper we take one particular sports celebrity, South African soccer star Mark Fish, and evaluate his image in relation to debates surrounding sport, politics and the post���apartheid state. We argue that because Fish appears to enjoy all the benefits of celebrity status (within his home country at least), an analysis of his career and identity provide a useful means by which to think about the changing political and nationalistic values within South African society.
