Preta e mulher

2024-12-19T00:33:13-03:00

No livro Preta e Mulher (2023), Tsitsi Dangarembga entrelaça a sua história de vida com o contexto histórico do Zimbábue, seu país de natal, e com as estratégias usadas pelo colonizador para construir o caminho que a faz se auto titular escritora, cineasta, feminista e ativista. Primeira mulher negra daquele país a publicar um livro em inglês. A autora relata como as estratégias de dominação colonizadora influenciaram a maneira como ela se enxergava no mundo, como a escrita a salvou, ao entender que saber usar as palavras é poder, e fala também sobre a necessidade da descolonização do pensamento.

A vitória da oralidade nas histórias de Mãe Beata de Yemonjá

2024-12-19T00:40:59-03:00

Esta resenha aborda os contos escritos pela Ialorixá Mãe Beata de Yemonjá reunidos na obra Caroço de Dendê: a sabedoria dos terreiros, em sua terceira edição pela editora Pallas. O livro resgata a tradição oral dos povos africanos por meio de histórias contadas e recontadas no cotidiano mítico dos terreiros de candomblé. Nos 43 contos reunidos na obra, a autora recupera histórias ouvidas na infância, passada entre ex-escravizados e seus descendentes nos engenhos do Recôncavo Baiano. Em contos breves, numa linguagem que lembra fábulas infantis, Mãe Beata liberta dos limites físicos dessas comunidades um mundo de saberes, memórias, mitos e valores que dialogam diretamente com a cultura dos afro-brasileiros e das religiões de matriz africana.

“A beautiful woman is a woman who fights”

2024-03-25T21:36:16-03:00

Feminist movements are a recurring subject in the construction of GNT as a television network focused on the feminine universe. This paper discusses how GNT engage with feminist struggles over the years and how this trajectory reveals changes in perceptions about feminisms in Brazil. The analysis is based on a cultural approach of brand identity as a result of an interaction between discourses and practices in the field of production and reception that happen in specific contexts. The corpus includes programs, vignettes and newspaper articles with reviews about the channel and statements of managers and TV hosts. Three moments are highlighted: the debut of Saia Justa (2002), the partnership with UN Women (2015), and the proposal of a diversity channel (2017). Positions permeated by ruptures and continuities are identified, as GNT oscillates between an individualistic and a collective approach to women's protagonism.

Keywords: GNT; feminism; television; cable television.

“Who are you?”

2024-03-08T11:39:13-03:00

This article discusses the characterization of the identities of characters linked to mediumship in TV Globo's spiritist telenovelas. Using narrative events from A Viagem, Alma Gêmea and Além do Tempo as a corpus, I discuss the Latin context in which the Brazilian telenovela emerges and the importance of paying attention to images in their completeness. I take televisuality combined with television style as a theoretical-methodological contribution and, in the analyses, I identify editing resources, actors' performances and soundtracks that figure the identity tensions addressed in the plots regarding mediumship: from the confrontations and destructive content seen in the initial works (A Viagem and Alma Gêmea) to the naturalization of mediumship (Além do Tempo). I conclude that there is a path from the didactic tone of the mediumistic theme, with an initially literal approach, to the figuration of mediumship as a fluid and everyday phenomenon.

Ascensão da China e outras perspectivas de mundo

2024-03-28T16:38:03-03:00

O artigo traz uma reflexão a respeito da hegemonia estadunidense em diálogo com a ascensão chinesa no século XXI. Utilizamos o caso do filme chinês Terra à Deriva (2019), que oferece uma visão alternativa de mundo, alinhada aos valores e interesses chineses, para explorar a interseção entre geopolítica e ficção. Buscamos compreender como a China vem afirmando a sua identidade e investindo na construção de um imaginário a respeito de sua influência global. Atentamos, portanto, ao valor das narrativas ficcionais para se discutir dinâmicas geopolíticas mais abrangentes.

Marcas culturais da Amazônia

2024-03-18T20:54:57-03:00

When we think of culture as the social fabric that identifies us, it brings us closer and makes us feel belonging to a group, place and space in society, we reflect: what is the Amazon? And what cultural marks are present in the voices of those who speak to it? Our purpose in proposing this reflection is to analyze the mobilizing elements that construct the cultural sense of the Amazon in the encounter between the television and literary languages. That is, taking the word as an ethical act, action on the world and the other. As a scope of analysis, we selected the literary novel Dois Irmãos, adapted by Rede Globo de Televisão, in a miniseries and screened in January, 2017. Milton Hatoum's work narrates the family plot of the Lebanese descendants in Manaus in the first half of the twentieth century. We reflect that the television language, when narratively adapting the literary text, potentiates a dialogism and a polyphony of social voices, in the necessary relation of any expression with other expressions, recreating the verbal text and visually materializing the cultural elements of possible interpretation of the Amazon. That is, in narrative analysis the river becomes the metaphor of human existence, as streams of life that indicate, at the same time, serenity and current, tension and restlessness. The river represents memory and cultural construction.

“Another day in the schack...”

2024-02-23T20:31:27-03:00

The article aims to understand how the profile @thalllitaxavier discloses veganism, a lifestyle that emerged among the wealthiest groups, appropriating this way of life to her social universe of origin. The elements triggered for this "translation" and the identity constructions present in a flow of cultural mediation were observed. Through ethnographic research, content published by digital influencer Thallita Xavier on TikTok and Instagram were analyzed. Among the results, her role as a "translator" between two worlds, the use of food as a classifying element of "poverty" and the disputes about the "authenticity" of belonging to the low-income groups.

Reading scenes in São Paulo graffiti

2024-02-25T09:14:26-03:00

This text presents the results of a study aimed at identifying reading scenes in São Paulo graffiti in public spaces and trying to understand what kind of associations these images could make. The analytical issue in approach to these graffiti is the search for the possible connotations of these images in terms of making the receiver available for the act of reading. This work is divided into two parts: in Part I we give a brief chronology of some of the highlights of the history of graffiti in São Paulo; in Part II we analyse some São Paulo graffiti with reading scenes.

Concurso Nacional de Literatura Infantil “João de Barro”

2024-06-05T16:32:57-03:00

This article aims to document the creation and trajectory of the National Children's
Literature Contest "João de Barro" within the scope of cultural policies, particularly in the
area of books, reading, and literature, in the capital of Minas Gerais. To this end, it provides
a brief overview of children's books and literature in the country, discusses literary awards in
the context of public cultural policies, highlighting the lack of initiatives aimed at literary
creation for children and adolescents, and presents "João de Barro" at different stages, from
its inception to 2024, with emphasis on the revision it underwent in 2011.

‘Programmed by Testosterone’:

2024-04-15T15:19:12-03:00

The article discusses the representation of masculinity in three characters from The White Lotus series, focusing on specific scenes from episodes 1 and 3 of the second season, produced in 2022 and available through the HBO Plus streaming service. The hypothesis raised is that the symbolic conduction of contents referring to the aesthetic aspects of the male body legitimizes differentiated age values. As a theoretical contribution, the sociology of representation (HALL, 2000) and the context of symbolic power (BOURDIEU, 1999) that dictates society in a hierarchical social organization (FOUCAULT, 1987) are used. As the body has become the locus of investment today, it is legitimate to say that there is a certain epistemic difficulty with regard to narrative disputes around the elderly body. Among the possible conclusions, culturally legitimized as a socially subordinate place, the body of the elderly subject is understood in the dominant discourse that suggests their deteriorated body condition, in the case of men, linked to sexual values.

As várias dimensões de implicabilidade: Entrevista com Denise Ferreira da Silva

2024-12-18T13:56:51-03:00

Nesta entrevista, a professora do Departamento de Espanhol e Português da Universidade de Nova York, Denise Ferreira da Silva, oferece contribuições generativas para o deslocamento epistêmico a partir de reflexões sobre colonialidade e racialidade. Entre os temas abordados, a filósofa e artista discute como a figura da "corpo cativa ferida na cena da subjugação" desvela o capital global como uma arquitetura política e gramática ética, figura que a acompanha em sua crítica à interseccionalidade. Ela também analisa o cenário nacional, refletindo sobre a instrumentalização da mulher não-branca para o velado projeto eugenista brasileiro contido na ideia de “democracia racial”. Por fim, Ferreira da Silva propõe uma visão radical de comunalidade e reflete sobre os limites da imaginação na construção de um novo projeto político e filosófico.

“White out, black in"

2024-10-21T14:32:51-03:00

This article criticizes the idea of meritocracy and the modern cognitive hierarchies that sustain it through the concept of cosmopolitics of raciality, based on a discussion of the intense visibility of blackness and the invisibility of white privilege as identity politics. Situated in the coloniality of power (Quijano, 2005) debate, the issues in the field of education and knowledge aim to propose and/or recover programs of ontoepistemological intervention that, by identifying the agency of what Sueli Carneiro has called the dispositif of raciality (2005), trigger points of rupture of the racialized condition.

Forging listening through the enchantment of the gaze: Indigenous mobilizations, interworld images and invention of cosmopolitical forums

2024-10-16T22:25:27-03:00

Contemporary indigenous struggles in Brazil for the reconquest and defense of ancestral territories add efforts in the spectrum of a triple labor: the invention of culture or ways of life in continuous and long-term counter-colonization action; defense against the State-Capital harsh forms of modern-colonial violence (genocide-epistemicide-cosmicide) and its daily existential consequences; and interworld communication that involves a cosmopolitical dimension through conversations/negotiations with the spiritual world, and the needing to show the non-indigenous world, in a relational desire attitude, both the beauty of life creation and the hardness of continuous confrontation with the death machine. In this article, we argue how the third movement, magnetized by the other two, has operated in the field of images - we dedicate ourselves especially to photography - constituting, in its materiality and forms of circulation, cosmopolitical forums.

Indigenous Women in Communication

2024-09-27T11:05:36-03:00

This article proposes an understanding of the meanings produced by indigenous women, in relation to their resistance processes, in the face of the humanitarian crisis, aggravated by the political and health crises, between the years 2019 and 2022. The research corpus is composed of five lives of Camp Terra Livre - ATL 2020 and dialogue rounds held with four indigenous women who participated in this ATL. The analysis lenses were: Decolonial Feminism, Intersectionality and Decolonial Theory, non-hegemonic epistemologies that shed light, criticism and other ways of understanding social phenomena. The methodology proposes an “epistemological disengagement” and the recognition of “other” subaltern knowledge. We conclude that indigenous women's resistance processes are inherently intersectional and are within the scope of a declared decolonial movement, in defense of the sacred Territory-Body-Spirit.

Por uma epistemologia do barranco como afronta do saber

2024-08-23T13:46:32-03:00

Poderiam ser tomadas, como fenômenos comunicacionais de saberes localizados, as rememorações de um sujeito-pesquisador acerca de seu passado? Neste texto, de tom mais ensaístico e redigido em bloco único, utilizo o relato de um índice de subjetividade sobre minha infância em uma periferia como estratégia de “escrevivência” (Evaristo, 2018), a trafegar por três materialidades que saltam dos escritos: o amor, a nostalgia e o sonho. Pensando minhas vivências em meio a uma geografia do barranco, lanço-me na empreitada de alçar essa categoria – o barranco – a uma dimensão de epistemologia que afronte formas ortodoxas de saber, responsáveis por anularem outras mais dissonantes e preteridas nos eixos chancelados de conhecimento. Pelo caminho traçado, este texto experimenta ser uma metodologia em andamento de sua própria proposta, chamando ainda para a conversa referenciais que andam de mãos dadas com esse saber periférico.

Transmethodologies and epistemic disputes in communicational investigation processes committed to citizenship, emancipation, and well-being

2024-08-26T10:44:09-03:00

We revisit, through appropriation and critical deconstruction, investigations that used transmethodology in the construction of knowledge in the field of communication in the last ten years. This movement understands the contributions of the transmethodological perspective as an epistemic shift in/for communication (Maldonado, 2013a; 2013b; 2015; 2022; 2024), at the same time that it projects incentives for future endeavors in the field. It thus reiterates the potential of collective natures in the production of knowledge, critical epistemological vigilance (Bachelard, 2005; 2006; Japiassu, 1988), and assumes research as the central axis for scientific cultures and citizenships committed to the conquest and experimentation of another world (Bonin, 2011; 2022). It also celebrates transmethodology as a creative power for epistemological productions from the margin to the center.

O corpo comunicante e o fenômeno midiático-alimentar das quizilas no culto aos Orixás

2024-08-23T13:34:29-03:00

In Afro-Brazilian religions, food is a living being that plays a mediatic role in the process of building the children of saint's belonging. With Peter Sloterdijk and Tobie Nathan, the food phenomenon is clarified as a “truth of incorporation”, also as a precaution and construction of belonging. A dialogue is established with the anthropologist Viveiros de Castro to deal with a cannibal metaphysics, based on relationships of alliances between living beings that are at the base of Amerindian culture. In this way, dialogues between traditional phenomena and contemporary thought allow us to think about relationship of otherness as decentering and to expand the scope of communicational thinking to food as mediation.

Decolonizar a palavra, a imagem e o fazer comunicacional

2024-08-26T15:57:07-03:00

The article analyzes Ororubá Filmes, an audiovisual collective of the Xucuru do Ororubá’s ethnicity (Pernambuco), advocating the notion of “perspective communication”. The starting point is situated in the processes that the communication carried out by Ororubá Filmes generates within the same community. It draws on Southern epistemologies (Quijano; Torrico) and Brazilian community communication (Peruzzo; Paiva). The methodology applied is rooted in ethnography, combining participatory observation techniques with interviews. The reflection concludes on the necessity to decolonize language, imagery, and the process of communication, supporting the community work carried out by peoples who practice ethnocommunication.

Entre a cova e o berço

2024-07-19T06:36:00-03:00

In this article, we reflect on the relationship between work and modes of signification, observing the metaphor "Roça do Futuro" and the opposition between the words "grave" and "cradle," used by the farmer Ivanilson Leal and his family, who live in the Assentamento Paulo Freire II, linked to the Landless Workers' Movement in the municipality of Estância/Sergipe. Through epistemological references that consider communication beyond the act of message transmission, we reflect on the ethical, technical, and aesthetic aspects produced in the experience. The methodology consisted of two meetings. In the first, we conducted an audiovisual recording in an interview/interviewee format, and in the second, we validated the results and made additions of content requested by them. The results point to the organic linkage between productive practices and modes of signification and constitute counter-colonial paths for thinking about new futures, both for the production of ideas and for the production of food.

Afro-surrealism, the uncanny, and epistemic disobedience in Nope

2024-06-05T23:04:07-03:00

This essay proposes a reading of the film Nope (2022), by Jordan Peele, as an act of epistemic disobedience (Mignolo, 2008), intersectional and decolonial, which associates it with the project proposed by the Afro-surreal manifesto, a subversive strategy that seeks to give visibility to marginalized social categories. We suggest that Peele uses, in the narrative construction of the feature film, multisensory stylistic tools that help activate the aesthetic categories of the unusual and the oneiric, through a strategy that reinforces the subversive decolonial act.

Self-definition against cis-heterossexist terrorism:

2024-07-22T23:24:30-03:00

This article brings together theoretical and methodological elaborations to analyze the coming out processes of the black bichas in the Guardei no Armário Project. From an intersectional perspective (Collins, 2016; 2017; 2019), we start from a bicha perspective, a viado’s subjective “universe” to the autobiographical narratives collected and shared, based on the analytical operationalization of the concept of self-definition and its relationship with other references. Bicha’s escrevivência [writing-living], as a result of a “resistant subjectivity” (Lugones, 2019), is inscribed in the infrapolitical sphere, challenges heteronormative cis controlling images and requires other epistemological constructions to discuss its political existence (corporeal, discursive, performative) in the communicational field.

Láròyé Èsú! Odò Ìyá! Oore Yèyé Oò!

2024-09-11T16:08:35-03:00

The practice of aquilombamento in the photographic production of black artists highlights black countervisuality as a way of rewriting narratives and challenging stereotypes, positiveizing Afro-Brazilian cosmoperception in representations of orixás. Pretendemos analisar como os fotógrafos negros periféricos reconfiguram as representações culturais e religiosas, desestabilizando os estereótipos coloniais. The methodology is based on visual and narrative analyzes of contemporary photographs from the Olhos Negros ON research project at UFRN. Among the main authors and concepts discussed are Antônio Bispo dos Santos, Oyèrónkẹ́ Oyěwùmí, bell hooks, Mark Sealy, Luiz Rufino, Muniz Sodré, Franz Fanon, Abdias do Nascimento, Munanga and Meirinho, who reflect on Afro-Brazilian concepts of cosmoperception, memory and image, black identities, Exu and the crossroads and aquilombamento. The relevance of photography is highlighted as a quilombist and artivist practice of resistance, which celebrates diversity and black cultural richness, challenging colonial visual hegemony and promoting the appreciation of Afro-Brazilian cosmoperceptions.

“Meu bem, é isso que eu mereço”? Jovelina Pérola Negra e modos de lembrar e esquecer no Youtube

2024-09-22T20:57:49-03:00

Este artigo apresenta algumas reflexões e discussões preliminares a respeito do lugar da obra e da figura da compositora e cantora Jovelina Pérola Negra (1944-1998) no Youtube, entendido aqui como repositório de arquivos digitais e como plataforma para a configuração de um espaço digital de memória coletiva. A partir de uma mirada interseccional (CARRERA, 2021; CRENSHAW, 1991), considerando as reconfigurações dos gêneros musicais e as dinâmicas de gosto e valor no universo da música popular massiva, o presente estudo tem como objetivo compreender as formas contemporâneas que a memória coletiva da música assume nas plataformas digitais, em especial no Youtube, onde é possível observar a reprodução de hierarquizações e desigualdades na produção de regimes de visibilidade e invisibilidade.

Territórios, terreiros e geopolíticas na escuta conexa

2024-10-18T19:20:04-03:00

Pretendemos com o presente artigo trazer uma discussão preliminar sobre como a dimensão territorial e geopolítica podem ser entendidas e incorporadas nas análises da música ao vivo, a partir da noção de escuta conexa. Para tanto, propomos uma breve análise da trajetória do festival Afropunk Bahia 2022 para repensar algumas perspectivas do entendimento do território na música. Interessa-nos pensar como esta festividade parece evocar uma dimensão racializada, buscando compreender como o território pode ser atrelado aos modos de se consumir, escutar e viver o evento Afropunk Bahia.

How to ethnograph an esport scene?

2024-09-27T11:05:55-03:00

This article problematizes some research experiences that traversed an ethnography with 42 players from a community esports scene in Brazil. Examining the transformations in the knowledge-power relations outlined in the conduction of that study, the article explores the central role played by epistemic-methodological shifts that required putting the research in motion and discussions about a decolonial ethnography done. Based on some field experiences, it is argued that these shared experiences functioned as formative moments that, for this reason, encourage fieldwork in esports as a formative process and as an (inter)epistemic encounter and dialogue.

Black journalism and silenced history:

2024-08-23T16:52:02-03:00

This article analyzes the presence of Black Journalism in the curricular components of Journalism degrees in Brazil in order to see if and how this theme is portrayed. We analyzed the Political Pedagogical Projects and the Curricular Structures of the Journalism degrees at 42 Federal Universities in Brazil in search of approaches to the Black Press, Black Journalism and ethnic-racial issues.

We start from the hypothesis that Black Journalism is a practice that has been silenced as such because of racism, even though there have been some reports of it for 200 years. For the theoretical basis, we will use authors from the perspective of Cultural Studies and Foucault's Discourse Analysis (1996). The aim of this article is to challenge hegemonic conceptions of journalism by questioning the non-inclusion of a racial debate in its studies, in undergraduate courses and in academia, as well as encouraging the fight against epistemicide in journalism undergraduate courses in the country.
