Tipos de midiativismo de favela
A participação cidadã e a ação coletiva através do uso de meios de comunicação não é um fenômeno novo, mas é mais atual do que nunca na esfera pública global e hiperconectada. Neste post, Leonardo Custódio discute sua pesquisa sobre a rica atividade produzida por ativistas de mídia com base nas favelas. Ele mostra como, através de mídias comunitárias, coletivos e redes de apoio mútuo e ação conjunta, os moradores das favelas têm sido capazes de assumir o controle dos canais e plataformas de comunicação para fazer ouvir suas próprias vozes e demandas

This collection aims to offer a practical, how-to approach to researching social movement studies, with each author writing on a method they have used extensively in their own work.

Types of favela media activism
Citizen participation and collective action through the use of media are not new phenomena, but they are more topical than ever in the global, hyperconnected public sphere. In this post, Leonardo Custódio discusses his research on the rich media activity produced by favela-based activists. He shows how, through community media, media collectives and networks of mutual support and joint action, favela dwellers have been able to take control of communication channels and platforms to raise their own voices and demands
Conexiones con el legado de Paulo Freire en la colaboración mediactivista antirracismo en Finlandia
In this article, we introduce the Finland-based
initiative Anti-Racism Media Activist Alliance (ARMA
Alliance, 2018-2020). The article presents our ethical-methodological reflections about the processes
of collaboration and dialogue we have experienced
as co-founders and coordinators of ARMA Alliance.
Our analysis is grounded on our joint retrospective
analysis of how the activist-research purposes of
ARMA Alliance connect with Paulo Freire’s legacy.
Our objective is to contribute to scholarship that
problematizes the multi-layered relationship between
research and activism in collaborative processes of
communication for social change (in our case, against
racism). First, we present what the ARMA Alliance
initiative means and how it connects with Paulo
Freire’s work. Then, we look back at the decolonial
insights, cathartic encounters and dialogues that led
to the development of the initiative. After that, we
reflect about the relationship between collaboration
and conscientization. Lastly, we indicate some
experiences in putting dialogue and collaboration into
practice.En este artículo, presentamos la iniciativa Anti-Racism
Media Activist Alliance (ARMA Alliance, 2018-2020),
con sede en Finlandia. El artículo presenta nuestras
reflexiones ético-metodológicas sobre los procesos
de colaboración y diálogo que hemos experimentado
como cofundadores y coordinadores de ARMA
Alliance. Nuestro análisis se basa en nuestros trabajos
retrospectivos conjuntos sobre el modo en el que los
propósitos de investigación activista de ARMA Alliance
se conectan con el legado de Paulo Freire. Nuestro
objetivo es contribuir a los debates académicos
que problematizan las múltiples relaciones entre la
investigación y el activismo en procesos colaborativos
de comunicación para el cambio social (en nuestro
caso, contra el racismo). Primero, presentamos lo que
significa la iniciativa ARMA Alliance y cómo se conecta
con el trabajo de Paulo Freire. Luego, miramos
hacia atrás a las ideas descoloniales, los encuentros
catárticos y los diálogos que llevaron al desarrollo de
la iniciativa. Después de eso, reflexionamos sobre
la relación entre colaboración y concientización. Por
último, indicamos algunas experiencias para poner
en práctica el diálogo y la colaboración

After analyzing the results, the main conclusions were that the average score of the 469 reports is 8.56, the industry is the segment in which the majority of the internships (76%) were carried out, while the Operations Engineering, and Production Process, Organizational Engineering, Quality Engineering, Logistics, and Work Engineering were the main areas of Industrial Engineering in which the students interned
TEORIA E PRÁTICA DE POLÍTICAS INDUSTRIAIS: O EXEMPLO DE RIO CLARO, S.P
São três os objetivos deste trabalho. Inicialmente, procura-se delinear os contextos teórico e fatual nos quais se inserem os principais tipos de políticas industriais implementadas, a nível nacional e local, em países capitalistas, inclusive o Brasil. Em um segundo passo, são identificadas, examinadas e avaliadas, à luz das noções e exemplos anteriormente relatados, as políticas industriais implementadas no município de Rio Claro, S.P., ao longo de sua evolução econômica, relacionando-as às diversas fases de sua industrialização e aos contextos econômico-espaciais nacional e regional. Por fim, tenta-se a integração teoriaprática através da sugestão de algumas medidas e procedimentos julgados indispensáveis às eventuais políticas industriais que venham a ser implementadas no futuro
"Comunidade gerativa” e “Comunidade de afeto”: Propostas conceituais para estudos comparativos de comunicação comunitária
O objetivo deste trabalho é propor o uso dos conceitos de “comunidade gerativa” e “comunidade de afeto” para estudos comparativos de comunicação comunitária em contextos sociais distintos. Usando os países BRICS (Brasil, Rússia, Índia, China e África do Sul) como pano de fundo e o Brasil como estudo de caso, identificamos como abordagens à comunicação comunitária em estudos comparativos recentes são tipicamente burocráticas e não permitem análises empíricas aprofundadas sobre o tema. Em seguida, definimos “comunidade gerativa” e “comunidade de afeto.” Por fim, apresentamos exemplos brasileiros para demonstrar como estes conceitos podem gerar estudos amplos sobre motivações, práticas e consequências das ações comunicacionais contra-hegemônicas de atores da sociedade civil.http://dx.doi.org/10.5902/217549771242
