Full textEste trabalho pretende registrar os resultados de uma pesquisa sobre Vista Alegre, localidade rural de Santa Maria Madalena, município de 10.840 habitantes, situado no centro norte fluminense. O estudo busca traçar uma cartografia simbólica da recepção dos discursos televisivos entre algumas famílias de produtores rurais desta comunidade, que passou a ter luz e a receber o sinal da televisão em 2001. A proposta tenta compreender de que maneira as identidades e as relações sociais se modificam e se restabelecem nesse contexto específico, uma comunidade rural distante do município de origem, onde não há comércio e as únicas edificações diferentes das casas de roça são a escola municipal e a sede da Igreja Assembléia de Deus. A pesquisa não toma como referência um programa de televisão em especial, mas as preferências individuais e procura, assim, particularizar, partindo-se do pressuposto de que as resistências podem questionar o postulado da homogeneização, que costuma tratar a todos como iguais. Em um mundo que se pretende cada vez mais conectado, mais globalizado, são as diferenças que movem os processos de inclusão. Trata-se de verificar a possibilidade de se colocar em prática um olhar sobre as leituras diferenciadas dos produtos exibidos pela televisão, um olhar que contribua para que, no processo de comunicação, as complexidades se façam presentes.
This paper intends to record the results of research in Vista Alegre, a place in rural Santa Maria Madalena, a 10,840 inhabitant Municipality located in the mid-northern region of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The study attempts to draw a symbolic map of the reception of television discourse among some rural farmers` families in this community which was served with electricity and received television broadcast in 2001. The idea is to understand how identities and social relations are modified and reestablished within this specific context; i.e., a rural community which is far from the Municipality of origin, where there is no commerce and the only buildings that differ from the rural houses are those of the Municipal School and the headquarters of the Church of the Assembly of God. The research does not consider a specific TV program as reference but rather, individual preferences and thus, tries to individualize, under the assumption that resistance may challenge the homogenization postulate which treats everyone in the same way. In a world which intends to be growingly connected, more globalized, it`s precisely the differences that get inclusion processes moving. It`s about checking the possibility of regarding different interpretations of products aired on television, a glance that may contribute to the inclusion of complexities in the communication process.

Análise do fazer jornalístico e das relações que envolvem o campo da comunicação e saúde, no âmbito da televisão brasileira, na abordagem do câncer pelos noticiários de emissoras públicas e comerciais. A pesquisa empírica tem como parâmetros as fundamentações teóricas do jornalismo e do telejornalismo na contemporaneidade, da comunicação e saúde e das relações sociais mediadas pela televisão brasileira, que se propõe a ser o espaço público da atualidade. Comunicação e saúde é visto aqui, numa perspectiva ideológica, como uma estratégia potencial de promoção e de educação para a qualidade de vida e o desenvolvimento. O estudo contempla matérias veiculadas em um dos produtos televisivos mais consolidados da Rede Globo – o Jornal Nacional, a partir da análise de conteúdo, com critérios quali-quantitativos e, em segunda perspectiva, adota-se um procedimento de análise comparativa com outro produto de tratamento jornalístico oferecido por uma TV pública – donde se espera um comprometimento social maior, com isenção e independência, buscando a predominância do interesse público. Selecionou-se o Repórter Brasil Noite, o telejornal mais representativo da TV Brasil (por ser o mais longevo, veiculado diariamente no horário nobre e com maior alcance), que é a principal emissora pública do sistema de radiodifusão atual do país. São analisados criticamente os elementos de construção da narrativa jornalística e suas estratégias estruturais, estabelecendo um panorama do diálogo interdisciplinar entre os campos comunicação e saúde. Além dos referidos telejornais, foram analisados outros dois programas, que se dedicam, em alguma medida, a uma abordagem especializada de saúde: Bem-estar (Rede Globo) e Ser Saudável (TV Brasil). O debate levou em conta as disputas e os tensionamentos característicos dessa abordagem, sobretudo em função dos saberes mobilizados e do poder de fala dos atores sociais envolvidos, haja vista as relações simbólicas que permeiam o jornalismo de televisão. Tendo em vista a relevância dessa temática, o intuito foi mapear os sentidos e os significados que emergem desse tratamento, além da recepção desses conteúdos pelos públicos envolvidos. As neoplasias são, muitas vezes, representadas na mídia como símbolos de dor, sofrimento e mutilação, e ainda motivo de tabus, preconceitos e desconhecimentos na sociedade. O trabalho pretendeu, assim, analisar o papel do (tele)jornalismo na (des)construção dos estigmas que envolvem a doença, buscando ouvir as impressões de pacientes, médicos e outros profissionais. Para este último, mas não menos importante objetivo, o presente projeto envolveu coleta de dados realizada por meio de pesquisa de campo em uma instituição de combate ao câncer, localizada em Juiz de Fora, que abrange um hospital especializado em oncologia.
Analysis of journalistic production and the relationships health and communication, in the context of Brazilian television, in cancer approach by news of public and commercial broadcasters. The empirical research has as parameters the theoretical foundations of journalism and television journalism nowadays, health communication and social relations mediated by Brazilian television, which intends to be an actual public space. Health communication is analyzed here in an ideological perspective, as a potential strategy for the promotion and education for life’s quality and development. The study includes news transmitted in one of the most consolidated television products of Rede Globo – the Jornal Nacional, through the content analysis, with qualitative and quantitative criteria. In a second perspective, we adopt a benchmarking procedure with another product journalistic offered by a public TV – where you expect a greater social commitment, with impartiality and independence, seeking dominance of the public interest. It was selected the Repórter Brasil Noite, the most representative television news from TV Brasil (because it is the most long-lived TV newscast from TV Brasil, broadcast daily in prime time and with greater reach), which is the main public broadcaster of the country's current broadcasting system. This project analyzes critically the construction of elements of journalistic narrative and its structural strategies, establishing an overview of the interdisciplinary dialogue between communication and health. In addition to these news programs, others were analyzed, engaged in some measure, a specialized health approach: Bem-estar (Globo) and Ser Saudável (TV Brasil). The discussion took into account the disagrees and tensions commons in this approach, especially from the mobilized knowledge and the speeches of the social actors involved, given the symbolic relations that permeate the television journalism. Taking the relevance of this theme into account, the aim was to map the meanings that emerge from this treatment, besides the reception of such content by the public involved. Neoplasms are often represented in the media as symbols of pain, suffering and mutilation, and remains a matter of taboos, prejudices and unknowns in society. The study aims therefore necessary to examine the role of television journalism in the (de)construction of the stigma surrounding the disease, seeking to hear the impressions of patients, doctors and other professionals. For the latter, but not least important purpose, this project involved data collection realized in an oncology institution, located in Juiz de Fora, which includes a specialized hospital.

Full textThe economic gap between urban and rural group has long existed in China. Traditionally, it is believed that urban children have more media devices and can access more media resources. But the phenomenon has changed since the “new” media era. Besides, with China’s urbanization, a special group of workers emerged, the migrate workers. This group of people are usually less well educated, and do not hold a city ‘Hukou’ (registered residence). Therefore, their children cannot enter school in urban areas, and so have to leave them in hometowns and these children are taken care of by their parents and relatives. These special children are called Rural Left-behind (RLB) Children. Moreover, China is a country of diverse ethnic minorities, Han nationality (Han people/Han) is the majority, and it has other fifty-five ethnic groups. There are 38 children’s television channels in China, but only the signal of CCTV-14 can cover the whole country. Chongqing has its own ground children’s television channel. In Chongqing area, people can watch another four children’s television channels on live TV. In this study, the author chose Chongqing city as a research location, since Chongqing city had 6.7% of the ethnic minority population in 2015, Tujia and Miao are the two main ethnic groups; the other reason was that Chongqing has abundant of RLB Children. The author explored the differences in television viewing habits among urban and rural children, ordinary rural (OR) and RLB children, and different ethnic groups children (Han & Tujia, Tujia &Miao, and Miao & Han). This research included two phases, Phase 1 was quantitative which used a questionnaire to collect data, and Phase 2 was qualitative which adopted a semi-structured interview to obtain information. In Phase 1, SPSS has been adopted to analysis data. Phase 2 adopted NVIVO for processing data. The finding indicates that urban and rural, OR and RLB children, Han, Tujia and Miao children have differences in various aspects, such as media ownership, television viewing devices, co-viewing pattern, TV multitasking, etc.

This thesis discuss the media scene in the village located Tekoha Añetete in Diamante do Oeste, Paraná, and their interactions with the traditional culture, Checking, thus the reception of cultural products through daily practices. The objective is to check how is the reception of media products through the media-event of the meeting tradition in social and cultural practices of families. To understand the communication processes with emphasis on the reception, we adopted multimetodos, namely: ethnographic observation, map of cultural consumption, focus group interviews and in depth. This set of data is analyzed based on the theoretical axis communication, consumption and reception. The magic performed on television by the residents was evident. It is the screen that spring guidelines for the livelihood of the village. The Opy (houses of prayer) is no longer in the place of the renewal of the spirit; lost space for recreation rooms and the brightness of displays. The chamoy (olds) of the village no longer exercise leadership, authority is young and with eyes off the reservation. The clothes follow the latest fashion dictated by TV, the soap; foods are those that advertising conveys. The resistance of a few mixed up the drive time. You can see in the cultural practices of families, the presence of the media, especially TV.
Esta dissertação discute o cenário midiático implantado na aldeia Tekoha Añetete em Diamante do Oeste, Paraná, e suas interações com a cultura tradicional, aferindo, desse modo, a recepção de produtos culturais, por meio das práticas cotidianas. O objetivo é verificar de que modo deu-se a recepção dos produtos midiáticos através da manifestação do encontro mídia-tradição nas práticas sociais e culturais das famílias. Para conhecer os processos comunicacionais com destaque para a recepção, adotamos multimétodos, a saber: observação etnográfica, mapa de consumo cultural, focus group e entrevistas em profundidade. Este conjunto de informações foi analisado tendo como base teórica o eixo Comunicação, Consumo e Recepção. A magia exercida pela televisão sobre os moradores ficou evidente. É da tela que brotam orientações para o modo de vida da aldeia. As Opy (casas de reza) deixaram de ser o lugar da renovação do espírito; perderam espaço para as salas de estar e para o brilho dos monitores. Os chamoy (velhos) da aldeia já não exercem liderança, a autoridade é jovem e com olhos para fora da reserva. As roupas seguem a última moda ditada, pela telenovela, os alimentos são aqueles que a publicidade veicula. A resistência de uns poucos se mistura à movimentação do momento. Pode-se perceber, nas práticas culturais de todos os membros das famílias, uns mais, outros menos, a presença da mídia, sobretudo a TV.

Full textAiming to study reception of television programs, the main hypothesis of this work deals with the acceptance of TV contents that exploit violence not from the basic assumption of gratification, but because it becomes a habit, socially conditioned, based on symbolism. We verified that by qualitative approach, employing focus groups and focus interviews techniques. Besides, consumption TV habits and opinions about TV contents characterized by sensationalism were surveyed. To conclude the study, the findings using both approaches were cross-analyzed with the discourse of three programs selected as the worst on Brazilian TV. To study all the discourses, of receptors and programs, we employed the technique of Discourse Analysis. The result of the analysis shows us a society centered in the media, that depends on television for information, although such information is elaborated according to social and cultural environment. Consumption has to be quick, there is no time for reflection. News have to be short and objective. News programs only show city facts, not being violent themselves. Violence is best characterized in programs related to entertainment, as long as they do not respect the human being. There is a lack of entertainment on television.

The past decade has witnessed an increase in queer-themed television. Cable networks, including Bravo, HBO, Showtime, and most recently LOGO, have also begun writing and airing programming with queer characters in the primary roles as well as focusing on themes relating to the gay community. Shows, such as Queer as Folk and The L-Word, while primarily written for a queer viewing audience, have been mass marketed and have had strong viewership outside of the queer community. The L-Word is unique in that it is the first show to focus on the lives and relationships of non-heterosexual women, thus making it the first show to subvert gendered and sexual norms relating to the female sex/gender. Using ethnography, this study builds upon previous textual analyses by examining how audiences of Showtime's The L-Word construct and interpret queer female identities. The problem is not of accurate representations in media, but rather, the necessity of understanding constructions of gender and sexual expression and representation. In addition, it is necessary to examine how audiences negotiate media texts about oppressed identities and if these negotiations help to perpetuate dominant ideals regarding gender, gender roles, and heterosexuality. This study analyzes how viewers' individual experiences and ideologies help to construct their own identities and their negotiation of television images and texts, and how new modes of understanding influence social relations concerning gender and sexuality difference. Inspired by the works of discourse, feminist, and queer theory, this study examines audience interpretations constructed about the queer female community after viewing The L-Word.

Full textEsta pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar a relaÃÃo das pessoas com a sÃrie televisiva The Big Bang Theory e sua percepÃÃo a respeito de se considerarem ou serem consideradas nerds. Este grupo, durante muito tempo visto e retratado como pÃria da sociedade, vem ganhando fama nos Ãltimos anos e tem sua imagem reformulada nos meios midiÃticos. Este trabalho, em um primeiro momento, procura traÃar o perfil do nerd, analisando seu histÃrico, caracterÃsticas e representaÃÃes midiÃticas, em produtos como sÃries e filmes, para fazer uma reflexÃo sobre o que à ser nerd atualmente. Para esta avaliaÃÃo, os autores Nugent (2008), Goffman (1988), Fernando e Rios (2001) e Bourdieu (1983) sÃo usados para identificar as caracterÃsticas distintivas do grupo, sua estigmatizaÃÃo perante a sociedade e sua relaÃÃo com o consumo e a mÃdia. Em seguida, levanta-se uma discussÃo a respeito da conexÃo entre comunicaÃÃo e cultura, utilizando autores como Caune (2004), Thompson (2001), Schulman (2004) e Morley (1996), dentre outros, para ressaltar a importÃncia dos Estudos Culturais dentro do Ãmbito desta pesquisa. ProduÃÃo e consumo estÃo interligados quando analisamos produtos culturais veiculados em meios de comunicaÃÃo de massa, por isso sÃo analisados as sÃries televisivas, sua classificaÃÃo, relaÃÃo com o pÃblico e a importÃncia dos personagens que as compÃem como elementos de conexÃo entre produto e audiÃncia. Jost (2012), Esquenazi (2010), Seger (2006), Davis (2001) e Field (2001) sÃo utilizados para explanar os processos de produÃÃo de sÃries e de criaÃÃo de personagens, fundamentais para entender o sucesso da sÃrie televisiva americana The Big Bang Theory, exibida pela CBS (EUA) e pela Warner Channel (Brasil). ApÃs uma anÃlise detalha dos personagens destas sitcom, apresenta-se os resultados da pesquisa realizada para este trabalho. Como metodologia, um questionÃrio estruturado, com abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, foi aplicado em uma amostra aleatÃria de 600 pessoas, com o objetivo de investigar seus hÃbitos de consumo, sÃries favoritas, conexÃo com os personagens, percepÃÃes acerca da sÃrie The Big Bang Theory e sua visÃo sobre considerarem-se ou serem considerados nerds por outras pessoas. Na conclusÃo desta pesquisa, relata-se que a relaÃÃo das pessoas com os produtos culturais que consomem à baseada por afetos e identificaÃÃo com o enredo e personagens da histÃria. Em relaÃÃo à sÃrie The Big Bang Theory, opiniÃes diversas sÃo apresentadas sobre a estereotipificaÃÃo dos personagens e evoluÃÃo da narrativa. Por fim, conclui-se que ser nerd, ou ser considerado assim, hoje em dia ainda à algo que carrega bastante negatividade para quem nÃo se insere no grupo, mas se torna um fator de empoderamento para quem se inclui.

This group, which has long been seen and treated as a pariah of society, has gained fame in recent years and had his image reformulated in the media. This work, in a first moment, seeks to address the nerd profile, analyzing their history, characteristics and media representations in products as TV series and movies, to make a reflection about what means to be nerd currently. For this analysis, the authors Nugent (2008), Goffman (1988), Fernando and Rios (2001) and Bourdieu (1983) are used to identify the group's distinguishing characteristics, their stigmatization in society and its relationship with consumption and the media. Then, a discussion about the connection between communication and culture is aroused, using authors like Caune (2004), Thompson (2001), Schulman (2004) and Morley (1996), among others, to highlight the importance of cultural studies within the scope of this research. Production and consumption are intertwined when we look conveyed cultural products in mass media, so TV series, their classification, public relationship and the importance of the characters that make them up are analyzed as elements connecting product and audience. Jost (2012), Esquenazi (2010), Seger (2006), Davis (2001) and Field (2001) are used to explain the production processes of TV series and character creation, fundamentals to understand the success of an American TV show The Big Bang Theory, displayed on CBS (EUA) and Warner Channel (Brazil). After a detailed analyze of this sitcom's characters, the results of the research carried out for this job are presented. As methodology, a structured survey, with a quantitative and a qualitative approach was applied in a random sample of 600 person, with the purpose of investigate their consuming habits, favorite TV series, connection with characters, perceptions about The Big Bang Theory and their vision about consider themselves or be considered nerd by others. At the conclusion of this research, it is reported that the relationship between people and cultural products they consume is based on affect and identification with the plot and characters in the story. Regarding The Big Bang Theory series, different opinions are presented on the character stereotyping and narrative evolution. Finally, it's concluded that being a nerd, or be considered as well, nowadays it is still something that carries a lot of negativity for those who do not fall within the group, but becomes a empowering factor for who is included. This identity is constructed through the high consumption of cultural products aimed at establishing an emotional connection with these people and offering a projection of the narrative of their lives.

Resumo: Este trabalho apresenta contribuições para o sistema brasileiro de TV digital. Considera-se a incompatibilidade do BTS (Broadcast Transport Stream) com os sistemas de distribuição de TV digital existentes e a dificuldade de implementação do modulador e demodulador ISDB-TB. Em primeiro lugar um algoritmo inovador capaz de realizar a compressão e adaptação do BTS tomando-o compatível com a maioria dos equipamentos comerciais do sistema DVB, é proposto. Em seguida, um detalhamento do funcionamento do modulador e demodulador é realizado utilizando-se expressões matemáticas e resultados obtidos em simulações computacionais. A partir do BTS, foi desenvolvido um simulador do modulador capaz de monitorar a entrada e saída de todos os blocos de processamento. No último estágio, vetores de RF são criados e podem ser utilizados em simulações computacionais e geradores de forma de onda arbitrária. Utilizando vetores de RF de emissoras de TV, foi desenvolvido um simulador do demodulador ISDB-TB. Esse simulador realiza as operações de sincronismo, estimação de canal, demodulação e decodificação de canal. Além disso, monitores da relação sinal ruído, constelação, resposta em frequência, perfil de atraso e taxa de erro de bits são utilizados para monitorar a reconstrução do BTS
Abstract: This paper presents contributions to the Brazilian digital TV system. It considers the incompatibility of (BTS) Broadcast Transport Stream with the existing digital TV distribution systems. The difficulty of implementation of the ISDB-TB modulator and demodulator are also taken into account. Firstly, an innovative algorithm able to compress and adapt the BTS in order to make it compatible with most DVB commercial equipment is implemented. Then, the detailed operation of the modulator and emodulator are obtained sing mathematical expressions and results from computer simulations. Using the BTS, it has been developed a simulator capable of monitoring the modulation input and output of all processing blocks. In the last stage, the RF vectors are created and can be used on computer simulations and arbitrary waveform generators. Using RF vectors of TV stations, an ISDB-Ts demodulator simulator was developed. This simulator performs the operations of synchronization, channel estimation, demodulation and channel decoding. In addition, monitors of signal to noise ratio, constellation, frequency response, delay profile and bit error rate are used to monitor the reconstruction of the BTS

Full textThis research addresses how communication and culture are related in the black community of Itamatatiua. It examines the mediation from the process of reception of television. The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between cultural identity Itamatatiua, manifested in certain practices and cultural values, and the process of receiving the TV, increasing knowledge about the mediation of culture in the reception of media content. The research was guided by theoretical and methodological thinking of cultural studies, with contributions follow the same path in relation to identity and communication. For this, the research was conducted in a qualitative way, using a variety of technical tools such as individual interviews and family groups, with themes focusing on the mediation of TV reception and the constitution of cultural identity. Data collection occurred through field work, conducted with eight families and their relationship with telev ision, so the study focused on the mediation of cultural identity and family life. Field work combine some techniques such as consumption questionnaire, ethnographic observation, semi -structured interviews, group interviews with families. They were supplemented by visits in the community of Itamatatiua since 2007 and complemented with visits during the year 2009/2010. The second step was the processing of data, developed through the following steps: transcription of data contained in all instruments of data collection, tabulation and analysis of such data, which resulted in a descriptive and interpretive. In research conducted for the analysis of ancient communication context, the oral tradition, he was explicit that there is a specific system of communication between that traditional community. Oral tradition has fulfilled the role of informing and print opinions of those people. What helped to establish over the years, their cultural identity. Finally, research on the reception of TV, found that the cultural identity that maroons operate mediations significant telev ision reception, which acts as reference systems, from which the television message is consumed and interpreted. Thus, the content of this medium can be interpreted by the audience as their cultural competence.
Esta pesquisa aborda como a comunicação e a cultura estão relacionadas na comunidade negra de Itamatatiua. Analisam-se as mediações oriundas do processo de recepção da televisiva. O objetivo geral deste estudo é explorar a relação existente entre a identidade cultural de Itamatatiua, manifestada em certas práticas e valores culturais, e o processo de recepção da TV, ampliando o conhecimento sobre mediação da cultura na recepção dos conteúdos midiáticos. A pesquisa foi orientada teórica e metodologicamente pelo pensamento dos estudos culturais, cujas contribuições seguem o mesmo caminho em relação às identidades e a comunicação. Para isso, a pesquisa foi realizada de forma qualitativa, utilizando uma pluralidade de instrumentos técnicos como: entrevistas individuais e com grupos familiares, com temáticas focalizando as mediações da recepção da TV e a constituição da identidade cultural.

Full textThe purpose of our thesis was to examine how children think about violence on TV news. We also wanted to find out what children think about violence, both in other TV programmes and in reality. Adults often speak for children, we wanted to hear the children’s own opinions. This study was based on theories of socialization and reception research. We showed violent news clips for 12 eleven and twelve year olds. In the meantime, we recorded the children’s reactions on film. Afterward, we interviewed them about their thoughts and feelings related to the clips. Our study is based on interviews and observations. We came to the conclusion that the children in our study think violence are very unnecessary. Most of the children did not find the clips particularly scary, but many mentioned that they think blood is disgusting to watch.

Never before has it been so important to investigate the way in which televised historical drama recreates and represents the past, for, as Robert Rosenstone (2003) acknowledges, “the increasing presence of the visual media in modern culture and the vast increase in TV channels seems to ensure that most people now get their knowledge of the past, once school is over, from the visual media” (p. 10). Therefore, this research uses the popular PBS Masterpiece Theatre program Downton Abbey as a case study to examine the accuracy of depictions of historical periods in contemporary television programs with the intent of discovering the impact of historical fiction on audiences’ perceptions of the past and, subsequently, on the collective memory of the public domain. Using a reception analysis approach, this research considers both producer-encoded and audience-decoded content within the four categories of (I) Setting, Details, and Design; (II) History; (III) Behavior; and (IV) Agenda, Values, and Effects outlined by Paul B. Weinstein (2001) to form conclusions concerning the relationship between the encoding and decoding of Downton Abbey, in particular, as well as the larger implications these findings have for televised historical drama and society’s collective memory, in general. Ultimately, this essay argues that through its precision of post-Edwardian detail, Downton Abbey attempts to construct a veil of accuracy behind which the series’ narrative is theoretically able to operate freely and without rigid constraint by history’s “hard and fast rules” (Fellowes, 2012a, p. 60). The findings also reveal an incongruity between this philosophy of encoding and the subsequent decoding process of Downton Abbey’s audience members. Finally, this study offers two potential functions historical drama may serve in contemporary society: as either a catalyst for historical inquiry or as a purveyor of distinctly modern, as opposed to historical, lessons

Às vésperas de completar 100 anos em 2010, o pentecostalismo no Brasil se mostra como um fenômeno complexo, multifacetado, desafiando comunicadores, empresários da mídia, sociólogos, pastores, crentes, ateus e também pesquisadores da comunicação social, já que na contemporaneidade as experiências religiosas são impulsionadas pela adoção da cultura mediática. Essas experiências fermentam em programas como o Show da Fé comandado pelo líder da Igreja Internacional da Graça de Deus (IIGD), R. R. Soares, instituição religiosa objeto deste estudo. Visto acreditar que fenômenos sociais não são uniformes e tampouco que os produtos religiosos sejam livres de contradições, a pesquisa busca compreender a visibilidade mediática religiosa no tecido das relações sociais dos adeptos que assistem o Show da Fé. Ou seja, a pesquisa analisa a comunicação religiosa sob um outro ângulo, distinto da visão linear da transmisssão da mensagem, entendendo aquela comunicação como processo mediado pelas práticas sociais e culturais que se constroem no cotidiano, onde a constituição da subjetividade é resultado das maneiras pelas quais os sujeitos interagem entre si perante a mensagem. Assim, a pesquisa - um estudo de recepção na linha das mediações socioculturais - permitiu, entre outros aspectos, observar nos usos e hábitos de consumo televisivo a dialética denomiada por Martín-Barbero consumo objetivação de desejos/lugar de diferenciação social e processo ritual, evidenciando que o grupo de pertença exerce influência para a ressignificação do desejo do adepto. Foi possível identificar que a chave do gênero do programa Show da Fè é o poder de acionar ou despertar no imaginário dos adeptos um outro mundo, cujo senso de ordem interna, integração e direção faz com que o homem se sinta mais forte para suportar as dificuldades da existência.

Full textSome situations relating to communication practices draw attention, either by the technical possibilities that arise with each new tool created by the unchallenged influence for the human and social relations. In a time when the academic community is asked to consider a "new" television, this work proposes to enter into the field to see what's available: uses, formats and languages in transition. Therefore proposes an empirical analysis set in the space of media reception, and use as a methodological tool of the Symmetry Principle based on Actor-Network Theory. Following the idea of tracing connections from an ethnographic writing, the method proposes to discuss the social category least as analytical basis - set in advance and unrelated to the field of action - and as something more focused on continuous process. The social practices and media here are thought beyond human limits - or purely technical. The actor-network is established not as a fixed entity, but through flows from which the method will help to describe the propagation of associations. The discussion on the technical and content production has barely begun. Maybe so if you find living in the moment to transcend the field of normative concepts and speculations, in order to monitor instances as networks of actants media invented and re-invented every day, in the moments conditions of possibilities for practical use. It fell to the research in question closer look at these procedures and the relationship between changing technology, audiences, materiality, space, bodies, feelings and emotions, so that some understanding may be identified about what will characterize the television, at least temporarily.
