Como as novas mídias constroem o corpo contemporâneo

O presente trabalho buscou relacionar as novas mídias e o corpo contemporâneo juntamente com a tecnologia, isso foi desenvolvido através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e descritiva. Foram usados buscadores eletrônicos para a consulta dos produtos científicos e acadêmicos, além dos itens convencionais de pesquisa, tais como, dissertações, teses e afins. Depois de feita toda a revisão com o material adequado e apoiada na literatura atual, consegui-se concluir que o corpo contemporâneo quando relacionado com as novas mídias atravessa não só o processo de transformação usual, mas o que vale ser destacado é a velocidade das mutações corporais que estes novos meios de comunicação exercem sobre os corpos atuais. Quando o foco passa para o corpo tecnológico, temos que este corpo é representado por uma espécie de maquina humana, que através de seus implantes e principalmente da biocompatibilidade da medicina se torna realidade na vida cotidiana e passa a despertar cada vez mais a atenção dos estudiosos do tema, outro ponto de destaque foi as duvidas e inquietações que as temáticas trouxeram ao mesmo tempo em que estas podem servir como desafio e impulsionar novos trabalhos nessa área

Inclusão e exclusão na velhice: a (des) construção de identidades sociais

A pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar as representações sociais sobre a terceira idade que circulam nos variados meios de comunicação; analisar as representações sociais sobre o idoso, os estereótipos, tanto os antigos (onde o idoso era considerado apenas um peso para as famílias) como os novos (o idoso atleta e descolado que busca a eterna juventude); compreender o significado do conceito de 'terceira idade' e o significado que essa expressão tenta ocultar; compreender os mecanismos de inclusão e exclusão do idoso nas ações da sociedade cível e pública; entender o quanto a convivência entre diferentes origens e diferentes gerações pode ser benéfico pra ambos os lados usando como base minha experiência no PEJA, assim como a busca do ideal do ser idoso, o idoso real, humano, referência de experiência, que ensina e também aprende, respeitado como pessoa sem mais ser considerado como apenas um número de estatística.

Políticas públicas e direitos de crianças e adolescentes: o papel da mídia na expansão da cidadania

This paper presents results of an evaluation of the quality of the coverage of issues associated to the preservation of rights of children and adolescents in the eight main newspapers of major cities of Bauru (Sao Paulo State) administrative region, from August 2008 to March 2009. In a total of 389 assessed stories, 66% portrayed acts of legal infraction and violence with children and adolescents as victims or perpetrators, with a fragmented and superficial perspective; 34% are greater approaches about public policies aimed at the preservation of social rights. The results show the existence of a smaller number, yet significant, of stories which presented extended and more contextualized approaches. From a general view, we can point out that the contribution given by the media as a form of vigilance over the execution of public policies has been limited, which justifies the concern of demanding, from the mass media, measures to fulfill the role attributed to them by contemporaneous democracies to the strengthening of citizenship.

This increase has recently been linked to the required and exposed standards of beauty by the consumer's culture. The media reinforce this ideology by exhibiting non-fat, Strong bodies. This huge appreciation of beauty in our time has generated numerous disorders related to body image. The vigorexia is one of these disorders and it is predominantly characterized in men, and it has defined in the literature as muscle dysmorphic disorder.
