A recurrent congenital weakness of 20th and 21st century television, literature, and cinema vampires is their porphyric susceptibility to ultraviolet radiation. Central to vampires’ continued undead life is the problem of sunlight. In this way, sunless environs like the Arctic and Antarctic represent what I describe as purely Gothic environments in whose desolation, cold, and darkness, undead life is able to proliferate, unmarred and unimpeded by the typical diurnal/nocturnal cycles of luminosity that trouble the undead lives of vampires. In order to theorize the value of the Arctic as an embodiment of Gothic-horror, this essay uses Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith’s 30 Days of Night (2002) as a case study of the pathetic resonances between the Arctic and the figure of the vampire. Following on from this, the analysis turns to Michel Foucault’s concept of the heterotopia in order to theorize the manner in which the Arctic, whose nocturnal/diurnal rhythms stand in radical opposition to the majority of seasonal cycles elsewhere on earth, represents an onto-existential paradise of death for the undead: a chronotope that embodies the essential attributes of the onto-existential condition of the undead.

Este artigo apresenta uma análise comparativa das representações fotográficas da presidenta brasileira Dilma Roussef e do candidato à presidência Aécio Neves na Revista IstoÉ. Tendo como base a Análise Crítica do Discurso e os processos semióticos de conotação buscamos compreender quais preconceitos de gênero foram relacionados às imagens fotográficas de Dilma e de Aécio. A análise identificou estereótipos visuais vinculados ao não pertencimento feminino aos espaços públicos de poder, a racionalidade masculina em contraste com a histeria feminina, a vulnerabilidade e solidão das mulheres políticas e vinculações de Dilma à figura de bruxa. A análise expôs o tratamento desigual que Dilma Rousseff recebeu de parte da mídia brasileira ao desafiar os papéis tradicionais de gênero. A violência simbólica que sofreu quando ocupou o mais importante cargo do poder executivo marcarão a história do Brasil como uma retaliação midiática massiva.

The overall aim of the study is to trace the interaction between the composition of the media repertoire and the everyday world of adolescents, also looking at privacy management in the course of acquiring digital communication media as part of the media repertoire. In order to do justice to this complexity, young people were not considered as a uniform demographic group, but were divided into three stages. Through this differentiation, a recursive process is to be worked out that makes it possible to also include contextual influencing factors such as peer group, family environment etc. and to expand previous findings on the media repertoire of young people. As a result of this approach, a multi-stage development process was elaborated as well as the privacy management of digital communication media of young people.

Este artigo analisa os editoriais que três media portugueses publicaram sobre a COVID-19, procurando perceber os modos como o tema é enquadrado e percecionado no discurso público. Se o editorial é o género jornalístico que expressa a ideologia do jornal, através dele pode vislumbrar-se que mensagens, interpretações e posicionamentos são assumidos e colocados à discussão no espaço público. Os três media escolhidos foram o jornal diário Público, a revista semanal Visão e o semanário regional da Beira Baixa Reconquista, todos eles de informação generalista. Dos dois de difusão nacional foram selecionados os editoriais das edições impressa e digital, e do regional, de inspiração cristã, apenas os da edição em papel. Definiram-se dois períodos de análise durante o Estado de Emergência, março de 2020 e janeiro de 2021, meses do primeiro e do segundo confinamento geral da população. O corpus é constituído por 48 editoriais, 30 do primeiro confinamento e 18 do segundo, sendo 41 do Público, cinco da Visão e dois do Reconquista. Da análise realizada conclui-se que do primeiro para o segundo período se alteram os temas e enquadramentos (frames), e que o posicionamento maioritariamente positivo, em março de 2020, muda para negativo em janeiro de 2021, a penalizar as falhas na gestão política e sanitária da pandemia.

Neste artigo procuramos verificar a importância que os clubes de futebol atribuem ao combate das desigualdades e em particular à afirmação do papel da mulher. Consideramos, para esse efeito, os 17 Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável, mas focamo-nos em particular no quinto, que versa sobre a igualdade de género e o empoderamento feminino. Através de um estudo de caso múltiplo, procedemos a uma análise comparativa das publicações realizadas pelos clubes de Portugal e Brasil, na rede social Facebook, para assinalar o Dia Internacional da Mulher. Os resultados evidenciam que os clubes estão atentos à data e procuram, através das diferentes publicações, alertar para o papel da mulher, numa estratégia de comunicação orientada para a responsabilidade social.

From the last quarter of 2019, the world witnessed the emergence of the COVID -19 virus that shook it to its knees, and Nigeria is not an exception. While countries were struggling with strategies on how to manage the virus, the lockdown option became paramount. During the period of the lockdown in Nigeria, most persons, especially young people, could not visit places of their choice. Hence, social media became their source of solace. This study examines the experiences of young adults in using TikTok to minimise the negative effect of isolation during the COVID-19 lockdown in Nigeria. The authors interviewed ten young persons between the ages of 19 to 31. A thematic analysis of the interviews using Braun and Clark (2006) steps for conducting thematic analysis revealed four overarching themes that describe the participants’ experiences on TikTok during the lockdown. Prominent among the themes, the study uncovered how TikTok short videos excelled in impacting the research participants therapeutically; easing boredom, and impacting positively on their mental health. The present study suggests that TikTok short videos could be a phenomenon that could be adopted by individuals or even health professionals, especially psychotherapists in managing or treating patients in similar situations like the COVID-19 compulsory lockdown.

The world, attacked by a malicious virus in the last quarter of the year 2019 termed it as SARS-CoV-2 (WHO) and manifestation of the ‘disease’ caused due to this virus was dubbed as COVID-19. Transmitting through respiratory-tract, it has already impacted millions of people, with a high mortality in vulnerable age groups. It is reckoned that the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic is a major public health concern with equally dire health consequences with critical environmental and economic impacts. Scientific community developed multiple vaccines and repurposed drugs for the COVID-19; however, the vaccination against this pathogen still throws a huge challenge of low uptake across the world. There are two dimensions to COVID-19 vaccination programme, i.e. ensuring equitable access and the positive behaviour change marketing strategies. People acknowledge that this pandemic is primarily a ‘behavioural practices’ issue, including at community levels. The outrage of the ‘infodemic’ (spread of misinformation) is gaining currency especially through social media and digital space. The technical area of health communication has assumed a high-level of tilted ‘political communication’ in many countries. It is, therefore, time to witness more of science in politics than politics in science. The article includes a key informant interview with a former WHO expert.

This study investigates older Ghanaian adults’ lived experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic along the trajectory of social, healthcare, childcare, self-care and humanitarian dimensions and how they navigated the effects thereof, utilizing interpretive methodology based qualitative dataset. The sample [n=10] was selected using purposive sampling technique. The paper finds that the current pandemic poses significant social challenges. The restrictions on human social movements has implications for social isolation. Social isolation can lead to loneliness and depression. Essentially, loneliness and long-term social distancing physiologically have the propensity to decrease the ability of an individual to fight infections and inflammations. In consequence, the study participants adopted a myriad of survival strategies such as social bonding with grandchildren, keeping busy, fending for and socialising children outside the traditional classroom environment and yet keeping them focused academically. These activities facilitate social interaction among older adults and children with implication for bridging the childcare gap that the closure of schools has brought about with some form of relief for working mothers. It also serves as an income generating avenue in disguise albeit meagre. In conclusion, more reflection on and the study of the social, psychological/emotional, self-care and childcare challenge dimensions of the pandemic is imperative.

This research examines identity work vis-à-vis Brazilian discourse regarding the events of September 11, 2001. The data is drawn from Brazilian nationals and expatriates participating in a digital discourse forum hosted by the newspaper O Estado de São Paulo. In discussing the events of 9/11/01, Brazilians also make sense of what it means to be Brazilian and what it means to be human. As the data show, Brazilians frame their reactions by drawing on larger understandings of the social world. The two most dominant stances come from Brazilians adopting what can be called Arielist and cosmopolitan stances. In addition, a small group of Brazilian expatriates join the fray as self-proclaimed Americanophiles. In examining these dynamics, we see that identities result from the process of identity construction best framed from a social constructionist perspective. In these three cases, identities emerge from interaction, engagement, and reaction to competing identity frames. Through the ongoing dialogue interactions, Brazilian participants implicitly make statements about their self-conceptions and visions of Brazil’s place in the world during this historic event. Significantly, the complementary and oppositional stances in reaction to 9/11/01 continue to persist almost twenty years after the attacks in the ideological frameworks around national identities circulating in both Brazil and the U.S. at present. In this way, the discourse from 2001 foreshadows the impending political chasm between right and left in both Brazil and the United States and provides an impetus for future research.
本研究检视身分认同工作与-à-vis巴西关于2001年9月11日事件的论述。这些数据来自巴西国民和外籍人士,他们参加了由报纸O Estado de s O Paulo主办的数字讨论论坛。在讨论911事件时,巴西人也明白了身为巴西人意味着什么,身为人类意味着什么。正如数据显示的那样,巴西人通过对社会世界的更广泛理解来构建他们的反应。两种最主要的立场来自巴西人,他们采取了所谓的阿里主义者和世界主义者的立场。此外,还有一小群巴西侨民自称为“亲美派”,加入了这场战斗。在研究这些动态时,我们看到身份源于社会建构主义视角下的身份建构过程。在这三种情况下,身份从互动、参与和对竞争身份框架的反应中产生。通过持续的对话互动,巴西参与者含蓄地陈述了他们对巴西在这一历史性事件中的世界地位的自我概念和愿景。值得注意的是,在911事件发生近二十年后,在巴西和美国围绕国家身份的意识形态框架中,针对911事件的互补和对立立场仍在继续。通过这种方式,2001年的论述预示了巴西和美国右翼和左翼之间即将出现的政治鸿沟,并为未来的研究提供了动力。

Como o capitalismo de vigilância contribui para a economia política da desinformação? Esse artigo tem como objetivo demonstrar a estreita relação entre o fenômeno que tem dominado o mundo cibernético – o tráfego legal e ilegal de dados obtidos a partir da vigilância do cidadão – com outro fenômeno contemporâneo, a desinformação, centrada principalmente nas notícias falsas que deixaram sua excepcionalidade para se transformarem em ações orquestradas capazes de abalar práticas democráticas. Para tal, realizou-se uma exposição de casos sintomáticos de acontecimentos contemporâneos com o objetivo de ilustrar uma breve revisão da literatura com as temáticas sobre Capitalismo de Vigilância, Cidadania e a Política da Desinformação. Chegou-se à conclusão que a adoção de políticas públicas relacionadas à educação e regulação do tema, sem a violação de direitos humanos fundamentais dos indivíduos, é a melhor forma de proteger a sociedade dos efeitos nefastos desse fenômeno contemporâneo.
