This contribution uses a phenomenological and psychoanalytic framework to rethink the porous boundaries between being and likeness . I move from a Surrealist advertising pamphlet produced in 1919 to the facial surgery techniques of 2018, contextualizing theories of the dyadic relationship between text and reader (Iser) with practices of image-solicitation and digital intimacy on the Internet. In unpacking self-surveillance techniques and state-run biometric technologies, this paper examines how our use of faces informs the ways our faces are used against us. Through analyzing how the performance of fantasy and the realization of authorship are imbricated through images of humankind, I research new developments in Augmented Reality avatars, linking the language of the face (Levinas) as a staging ground for potential empathy and conversely, systematic exclusion. In tracing the data double while looking at the biopolitical function of social media, this paper considers how our images of humankind fix our embodied nature while fixing others in place.

Defined as the “twilight zone of the 21st century” (Cirucci and Vaker, 2018) Black Mirror, the British anthology science fiction tv series created by Charlie Brooker, has reached the status of a sort of philosophical classic that echoes the angst of an era. Through an in-depth analysis of the volume I riflessi di Black Mirror. Glossario su immaginari, culture e media della societa digitale (The Reflections of Black Mirror. A glossary of imaginaries, culture and media in the digital society) edited by Mario Tirino and Antonio Tramontana (2018), the paper sets out to investigate how the semantic nuclei of Black Mirror may be analysed in terms of a glossary confronting the existential conditions of modern technological civilization and the tuly radical challenges we face.
《黑镜》被定义为“21世纪的模糊地带”(Cirucci and Vaker, 2018)。查理·布鲁克(Charlie Brooker)创作的英国科幻电视剧选集《黑镜》(Black Mirror)已经达到了某种哲学经典的地位，反映了一个时代的焦虑。通过对《黑镜》卷I的深入分析。《黑镜的映像》。由马里奥·蒂里诺和安东尼奥·特拉蒙塔纳(2018)编辑的《数字社会中的想象、文化和媒体》词汇表，本文着手研究如何用面对现代技术文明存在条件和我们面临的真正激进挑战的词汇表来分析《黑镜》的语义核。

On 4 May 1949, all the players of the top Italian team of the time, Il Grande Torino, died in an air crash. The tragedy of Superga seemed to be representative of Italy in the immediate post-war period and for this reason it managed to connect with almost the entire nation. The images of the carcass of the plane at the base of Turin’s basilica evoked the war images broadcast by the newsreels between 1940 and 1945. The Torino players were heroes and as heroes were celebrated at their funeral, which seemed to indirectly refer to the cult of the fallen in fascist culture. The funeral held in Turin was attended by 500,000 people and managed to unite a large part of the population in a public rite, during which not only did the deaths of the Grande Torino appear to be celebrated, but also those who had died in the Second World War. Public funerals such as those of the Grande Torino gave Italians the opportunity to openly vent intimate emotions linked to personal experience, helping to build the new nationalCatholicpost-war community.

Sport, understood as a social phenomenon and object of research, brings together the efforts of the most diverse fields of academic knowledge production. In the present paper, we propose a cartographic study of the images that are present in the biographical narratives of four Brazilian Olympic athletes, exploring their interconnections, subtleness and ambiguities. We defend that the study of the images of the nocturnal heroes, normally placed in the background by media processes, can act as important amplifier for the understanding of the complexities that constitutes the social imaginary of the sport phenomenon. Our argument is that, in their trajectories, these athletes manifest solar, lunar and “in between” hero experiences. The theoretical framework connects three previous studies: the research on the theme of the nocturnal hero; Rubio’s investigation on “Brazilian Olympic Heroes”; and the cartographic method for the investigation on the processes of image and imaginaries’ creation proposed by Leao.

In recent years, in a symptomatic manner, peculiar practices are spreading. As David Le Breton brilliantly explains, in the « physical and sporting activities at risk » the individual - often in the presence of a wild nature - becomes heroically the only sovereign of his existence by means of a bet on his abilities, engaging a challenge that, at the limit, puts life at stake. The possibility of finding death in the challenge ensures - in the positive performance - an intensification of the biographical meanings (Le Breton, 2002). According to Le Breton line of thinking we can affirm that individual, becoming the hero of his own existence, fights the anxiety of a world lived as hostile, indifferent and meaningless. Analyzing this particular phenomenon, in an investigation that takes into account the sociological reasons of its indicative success, is the aim of this article.
近年来，一些特殊做法有症状地蔓延开来。正如大卫·勒·布雷顿(David Le Breton)精辟地解释的那样，在“有风险的体力和体育活动”中，个人——通常是在野外——通过对自己能力的打赌，英勇地成为自己存在的唯一主宰，参与挑战，在极限情况下，把生命置于危险之中。在挑战中找到死亡的可能性——在积极的表现中——确保了传记意义的强化(Le Breton, 2002年)。根据勒布列东的思路，我们可以肯定，个人成为自己存在的英雄，与一个充满敌意、冷漠和无意义的世界的焦虑作斗争。本文的目的是分析这一特殊现象，并在调查中考虑到其指示性成功的社会学原因。

The original label of “sport for the disabled” is currently facing a transition. From the idea of “minor competition” to its gradual affirmation as an independent sport reality, even a way to support social activism and, on closer inspection, a privileged instrument to deconstruction the social stigma of disability. It has been analyzed the current media attention on disability and the narrative ways used to talk about it, in the light of the inevitable mutual interaction between social imaginary and mass-culture representation. Disability has been converted into a myth since the Paralympic champions have become popular not only for their sports results, but also because of their life stories and thanks to the cultural and advertising industries. The social imaginary migrates from the pietism and social invisibility of the stigma to the celebration of the “extra-ordinariness” of the Paralympic myth. However, these heroes will soon end up being locked up in a new cage of sense .

The article analyzes the narrative of the brazilian newspaper O Globo about mediatic construction of the heroine image of the judo brazilian athlete Rafaela Silva. Many journalistic examples were searched with nominal athlete’s citations published in sports editions in 2012 (London Games) and in 2016 (Rio Games). Based on hero theory concept, it has been verified that the athlete was presented as a character that goes through the stages of the journey proposed by Campbell (1995). The conclusion of Helal, Cabo and Marques (2009), confirmed by Amaro (2014), ratifies a specific vocabulary used by sports press about the Olympic medalists. This is valuable to show her route. Textual references such as "overcoming” and "dedication", associated with Rafaela’s life, also allow us to identify repeated characteristics that prove how the Olympic heroes imaginary are treated by specialized media that helps the consumption of the megaevent.

六十年代，罗兰·巴特指出，体育运动构成了小小的神话。后现代的体育形象与球迷的皮肤碰撞。在一个由跨媒体叙事重新定义的体育世界里，民族志纪录片被宣布为报道运动员生活的一种新风格。自1998年由Stephane Meunier和TV Canal +在法国足球运动员内部实现的电影“Les Yeux dans Les bleus”以来，这种亲密电影增加了很多。技术和图像的使用刷新了体育神话。我们可以在虚构的电影闪回中看到它(贝利、尼基·劳达、霍华德·温斯顿)，在与人性化的运动员(贝克汉姆、里纳、博尔特)的宣传中看到它，也可以在社交媒体和电视节目中看到新一代高水平运动员(艾弗森、希尔兹)。这种在运动治疗中使用的颤抖方式是皮肤转向的标志，体现了神话。

The sports genre has historically been the most present in the world of videogames, since the first experiments like "Tennis for two", probably because simulating a gaming activity with already known boundaries is easier to understand (Bogost, 2013. Conway, 2010). Since ancient times, myth was the favorite creative place to elaborate individual or collective human passions. Even in videogames, the introduction of mythical protagonists makes the game boasts a charm that allows players to experience, with strong emotional involvement, the game interactivity. This article aims to discuss how football simulations use avatars of legendary players, from the present and the past, to support a certain ideal of sports culture and celebrity.
自从《Tennis for two》这类游戏诞生以来，体育题材一直是电子游戏世界中最常见的题材，可能是因为模拟已知边界的游戏活动更容易理解。康威,2010)。自古以来，神话就是诠释个人或集体人类激情的最受欢迎的创作场所。即使在电子游戏中，神话主角的引入也让游戏具有魅力，让玩家能够以强烈的情感投入体验游戏的互动性。本文旨在探讨足球模拟游戏如何利用传奇球员的化身，从现在和过去，来支持某种体育文化和名人的理想。
