The child as a buying influence for advertising: appeals, motivations and child subjectivity
Supervisor: Ana Paula Bragaglia
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate how advertising can encourage children to become not only consumers, but also influential in decision-making by those who actually have the purchasing power. We sought to investigate the influence consumption that the child may hold within the family, about products created for adults and family. Finally, we sought to understand the extent to which advertising is involved in stimulating this specific posture consumption, as well as the possible consequences of this behavior in the children’s subjectivity. The child’s position in society has undergone changes over the years: before, it was common to be ignored by the small family, today his opinion is valued in family topics and in other issues as well. This behavior stimulate the rising of the child as a “protagonist”. This reaction can occur even in consumer issues and it is about that topic that this dissertation leaned. We read about child psychology, historical and social aspects of childhood, marketing and advertising language techniques aimed at this audience, political advertising of infant communication in Brazil andin other countries, and analyzed several studies about consumption and buying influence of children. With this material, we observed television commercials and made interviews with parents of children between 5 and 10 years. As main results, it was identified seventy-seven (77) product announcements of produtcts/services for adult or family use, that had attractive elements to children. In the interviews,it was possible to confirme the influence of advertising on children. As some possible impacts of this “marketing of influence” in the children’s subjectivity, it was noticed the very consumerist stance, as well as the so-called “shortening of the childhood”.

Journalism, the Internet and the jugglery of a transitional editorial office: the reflexes of convergence in news production in O Globo
Supervisor: João Batista de Abreu
Abstract
This study investigates the consequences of digital convergence and the development of new technologies in the news production process in the newspaper O Globo. It presents a broad overview of the changes in journalism and the news industry, in general, such as the restructuring of the job market, changes in the newspaper business and the new skills required of journalists in this context. Drawing a big picture,we seek to analyze the Brazilian cenario, with a specific focus on the O Globo and its local news coverage. The main strategies adopted by O Globo from the 1980s to the present day and the reflection of this transition were analyzed on the routine of the newsroom. For this, were used information provided by the newspaper itself and interviews with journalists who experienced these changes. We concludethat the new production conditions offer more limitations than potential for journalism because they are strongly based on a demand for more productivity. The supposition that indicated a distance from field report and the weakening of this gender of journalismwas also confirmed.

Supervisor: Adilson Vaz Cabral Filho
Abstratc
The society is a permanent stage of dispute for the hegemony of ideas, as acondition for the conquest and the exercise of power. In it, the hegemonic forces argue to consolidate your domain, while the counter-hegemonic argue to conquer it, being here hegemony understood as a form of domination through consensus, not physical strength.The struggle for ideas is gaining momentum during the electoral processes, moment in which multiply the political discussions and in which the people are brought to consider the issues of society, since they have to choose their candidates and projects. For this reason, they are used various instruments and channels, physical and virtual, in the latter case if underlining its popularity and by characteristics such as horizontality and interactivity, social media.As the dispute by hegemony is constant, however, the movement of ideas in these interfaces collaborative transcends the electoral period and needs to be thoroughly studied and understood to enable interventions aware and inserted within a political planning and strategic higher.
This study investigates and analyzes the social media as a channel of movement of ideas counter-hegemonic. For both, the case study of the campaign “Primavera Carioca” in these interfaces, the name with which he has known the candidacy of Marcelo Freixo (PSOL) to the city of Rio de Janeiro in 2012. What is the aim of the case study is based on the specific event, understand the general context, by means of analogies and the expansion of situations observed.In general, the research aims at understanding how the social media act as channels for the permanent movement of ideas counter-hegemonic, covering their potential, limitations and impacts. It also has as objectives analyze the use of these interfaces as an instrument of election campaigns and political actions as a whole, and to examine its use in elections as a means for the promotion of public debate.
This is a descriptive analysis and inductive argument, which has as a typology of research a case study. From the observations of the study object is done the crossing, analytical and reflective of the information and data collected in bibliographic research, documentary and audio-visual media, as well as in interviews.

Changing sexualities and genres – militancy and activism in the documentaries Generonautas: journeying by mutant identities and Of red tie and nail
Supervisor: Denise Tavares da Silva
Abstract
This dissertation analyses two documentaries -“Gendernauts, a march towards changing identities” (Monika Treut, 1999) and “Wearing necktie and red nail” (Miriam Chnaiderman, 2014) -within the scope of discussing how identity of gender and sexuality are uttered in these works. This study is delimited on a conception of identity as a continuing change as well as the gender as a historical, cultural and political construction. Such view is supported particularly by both the feminist studies and the queertheory which stands up for the overcoming of the binary heterosexual/homosexual standardization. The work considers the different points of view of the documentaries, taking into consideration historical moments of their production. In Treut ́s movie we highlight the militant aspect of the work when dealing with everyday life of a community of transgenders who live in San Francisco (USA), having this city an important role in the cause that stands up for the abject bodies. However in Chnaiderman movie, we sought to understand how sexuality and gender present themselves in their multiplicity, showing attire as the main element of transgression. Therefore, we numbered some inquiries which go through this research: how these different activisms are built in the two productions, keeping the perspective of a militancy designed by the LGBT (Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) organizations, having in view the construction and consolidation of social rights for this group over fifteen years, the gap between the two productions? Which articulation – be it to a greater or lesser degree – with everyday life, towards recognizing in this “space of experience and contact” a path for the consolidation of the purposes of the activism? What are the particular time marks of the movies that express the queer theory in dialogue? Eventually, what ethical issues raise such works when they ex pose individuals historically prejudiced? Seeking to answer to these and other close questions means for this research to lead to the need of breaking out the invisibility which still leaves marks on those who have opted for transsexualism and/or other forms of sexual and gender identity and, at the same time, recognize through the media, most particularly through the nonfiction audiovisual, a powerful and significant locus in the scenery of the contemporaneous communication.
Keywords: documentary, activism , gender, identity, everyday and queer.

I convert, I immediately buy: sociability as a tool for network consumption
Supervisor: Arlete Eni Granero
Abstract
The social media has enabled people to instantly publish, exchange and express opinions. Some companies build virtual businesses inside these medias or even simply use these medias to convey their business. The arise of the web and the internet has brought consequences such as: “real time” achievements, the emerge and occupation of “cyberspace”, the identity displacement, the representation of Self in the virtual world and the connection among people through computers and mobile gadgets in order to make business (social business). These interactions, mediated by computers, affect the behavior by which people express themselves and consume. It has been used as theoretical precepts the definition of society and social interaction (BAKTHIN, 2006); the Communication Mediated by Computers (CASTELLS, 1999); the conversations in the web (RECUERO,2012) and the consumption via social validation (ADOLPHO, 2013), all of these to show the internet place as the new way to promote and excel the consumption through sociability. It is noted that TripAdvisor, a travelling site, in gathering discussion forums, Facebook and open users’ evaluation systems about trip places and gastronomy, was able to act as a social media in the web. At the same time, the company could generate an electronic commerce linked to a social media perception.

Supervisor: Márcio de Souza Castilho
Abstract
This dissertation focuses on issues about the triad public safety, media and violence in relation to the first phase of the pacification process of the Complexo do Alemão favelas, in
Rio de Janeiro, started in November 2010. The operation carried by Military Police of Rio de Janeiro State had the support of the Federal Government and the Army’s Pacification Forces. It became a symbol of the public safety program named Pacifying Police Unities (UPP) and marks, through media, the discursive construction of a metaphor of peace that promotes new meanings to the host city of international sports mega events such as the World Cup (2014) and the Olympic Games (2016). This research aims on the connections between what is said, silenced and what is understood as peace in practice by the operators of State. Using participant observation at the Complexo do Alemão favelas and discourse analysis of the journalistic coverage by O Globo newspaper, this dissertation foments a reflection about the representation of favelas and public safety in Rio de Janeiro.

The mediation of media consumption in the school universe: case study of “Projeto GENTE”
Supervisor:Alexandre Farbiarz
Co-Supervisor: Ricardo Artur Carvalho
Abstratc
The core problem of this work concerns the need to adapt the school community, due to the necessary reconfiguration of teaching and learning strategies from the use of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) as teaching tools in educational environments. The main objective is to analyze the adaptability process of learners and educators to this process through the case study of Project New Technologies Experimental Gymnasi um (GENTE in portuguese), developed at André Urani Municipal School at Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro.
The secondary objective is to understand how the mediation of media consumption occurs\happens on the environment in which the use of ICTs has gained centrality. From a theoretical point of view, we intend to discuss aspects of the interconnections between the fields of Communication and Education, from a reference that has as its foundation the production of authors affiliated with the well-known School of LatinAmerican Cultural Studies, in dialogic position to theories of media education courses, highlighting Educational Communication and Media-education, as well as some assumptions of the so-called Education for the twenty-first century. For data collection a primarily qualitative approach was chosen, using exploratory research, participative\interactiveobservation and in-depth interviews. Data analysis was based on the use of the Collective sSbject Discourse theory (DSC) and the software developed for the application of this technique. Among the main results that we sought to achieve, we can\should\must emphasize, adding scientific knowledge that can somehow work with public policies of education and subsequent actions of the use of ICTs in school public environments through the account of a real case of adaptive collective commitment to make the use of new technologies an ally in the mission of educating and preparing students for civic life, without losing sight of the new challenges ineducation, such as thepromotion of autonomy and child and youth participation.
