    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2015.Este estudo investiga a relação entre raça, democracia racial no Brasil e a ascensão do funk carioca. Além disto, o trabalho analisa a representação da mulher negra e a autorrepresentação feminina exposta na performance de Tati Quebra-Barraco, avaliando a apropriação de discursos do feminino ressignificados no contexto pós-colonial. O funk carioca surge como gênero em 1989 e dialoga com a crise nas escolas de samba e com o mito da democracia racial no Brasil. Nesse sentido, ele reporta-se às questões relacionadas à subalternidade da juventude negra, de maneira geral, e da mulher negra, de maneira específica. A pesquisa é realizada a partir das perspectivas de raça e de representação e autorrepresentação da mulher subalterna, entendidas, no último capítulo desta dissertação, como paródia de discursos vastamente reproduzidos sobre o feminino. Ela também apresenta algumas questões referentes às apropriações da música estrangeira, nomeadamente a soul music e o hip-hop, e ao contradiscurso presente na autorrepresentação feminina de Tati Quebra-Barraco.Abstract : This study researches the relationship among race, racial democracy in Brazil and the rise of Rio de Janeiro s funk (carioca funk). In addition, the paper analyses the representation of black women and the female self-representation present in Tati Quebra-Barraco s music by evaluating the appropriation of hegemonic discourses that have been reinterpreted in the postcolonial context. The carioca funk emerges as a gender in 1989 and establishes a dialogue with the decadence of the samba schools and with the myth of the racial democracy in Brazil. In this sense, it refers to the issues related to the black youth subordination in general and to the black woman subordination specifically. The research is carried out from the race perspective as well as from the subordinate representation and self-representation perspective, which are understood as a parody of hegemonic discourses. It also presents some issues related to the appropriation of foreign music, specifically soul music and hip-hop, and to the counter-discourse in Tati Quebra-Barraco s female self- representation

    Essa pesquisa versa sobre a cobertura jornalística do funk carioca no Rio Grande do Sul. O objetivo do trabalho é determinar quais são os critérios de noticiabilidade, ou seja, os valores-notícia do funk carioca, em Porto Alegre. A amostra, que compreendeu exemplares do Jornal Zero Hora, foi analisada a partir da Análise de Conteúdo preconizada por Laurence Bardin e da teoria dos valores-notícia de Nelson Traquina. A hipótese da pesquisa é de que a cobertura que o movimento tem repetida relação com violência por solidificar o estereótipo da cobertura jornalística das periferias, que determina que a recorrência da criminalidade como tema. Através da análise foi possível inferir da amostra a interpretação de que hibridizações na lógica de conteúdo do jornal escolhido perpetuam este estereótipo, contribuindo para a consolidação preconceito que paira sobre o movimento cultural funk carioca

    Author Meets Critics: Sandra Braman

    No full text
    The publication of Sandra Braman’s Change of State signals the importance of the topic of information policy to the field of information studies. It also illustrates both the power and necessity of the kind of inter-disciplinary analysis that characterizes the field. This panel will provide an opportunity for both structured debate and lively discussion around Change of State and the important arguments it contains. Perhaps the most important one that it makes is that “trends in information policy both manifest and trigger change in the nature of governance itself.” That is, Braman points to how information flows have radically altered the nature of the traditional nation-state and its ability to exercise power (or fails to, as the case may be). Because of i-Schools’ strong connections with the professional world of information institutions, it is particularly important for graduates to understand the far-reaching implications of this argument. On a practical level, graduates need to become conversant with both the varied manifestations of information policy, and the mechanisms by which such policy is enacted. Change of State provides a highly useful synthesis of all the major debates in the field of information policy (including identity, immigration, innovation policy, etc.), organizing them into a comprehensive analytical framework, along with extensive bibliographic essays. The format of this session will involve each speaker presenting a 15 minute paper which will discuss Change of State from their own disciplinary perspective. Prof. Braman will then respond to the papers. The presentations will be followed by a question and answer period with the audience. The goal is to offer both structured debate around key arguments presented in the book, while offering an opportunity for the audience to interact with the speakers. The speakers are all leaders in the field, well-informed of Dr. Braman’s work, and chosen with the goal of maximizing disciplinary perspectives (Lievrouw: communication policy; Mueller: political science; Jackson: science and technology studies).Submitted by Heekyung Choi ([email protected]) on 2010-03-11T15:43:29Z No. of bitstreams: 1 WC2_iconf08.doc: 30720 bytes, checksum: d09645278c62b44efffefccf4a01bae8 (MD5)Made available in DSpace on 2010-03-11T15:43:29Z (GMT).
