Agonística expressa em circulação: o Papa Francisco como articulador de sentidos

This work is a cut from the empirical object of the master’s research in the Post-Graduation Program in Communication Sciences of Unisinos, enrolled in the line of research of Midiatization and Social Processes, whose general objective is to perceive the particularities and logics in which interactions occur, and as Pope Francisco articulates the dispute of meanings of the debate, having to respond to all the publics. For this article, we set out to make a case study that consists of two episodes, the first press conference granted by the pontiff on the return flight of Brazil in June 2013, and the marriage on the return flight from Chile in January 2018. From the scenario of mediatization, we propose to investigate how this space in flight focuses on operations of construction of the image of Pope Francis. Keywords: Pope Francis. Image.
