The crossroads between the streets and the internet: social networks as a mobilizing factor for the Brazilian demonstrations in 2013

Fabio Malini and Henrique Antoun are researchers and political activists. They wrote a book under the heat of the manifestations that took the streets of major Brazilian cities, in June 2013. They released their book in August, only two months after the heyday of the movement, reaching a speed that set, at the same time, the strength and limits of the work. They begin their narrative summarizing the history of cyberspace and cyberculture, and discover a meeting place between the streets and digital networks, a phenomenon capable of mobilizing and drawing new routes for political action

“AI, please do this task for me”: generative artificial intelligence in work environments

This study addresses the risks of the unreflective advance of AI in communication work environments and proposes a debate on its critical and creative use. It seeks a panoramic view based on media ecology and the multidisciplinarity of organizational communication, focused on the characteristics of a technology that announces itself as ubiquitous, to reflect on how AI will be able to help communication production processes. Are we prepared to “educate” these devices for a democratic, inclusive, and safe environment?Este artigo aborda os riscos do avanço pouco reflexivo da inteligência artificial (IA) nos ambientes de trabalho da comunicação e propõe um debate sobre seu uso crítico e criativo. Buscamos uma visão panorâmica baseada na ecologia dos meios e na multidisciplinaridade da comunicação organizacional voltada às características de uma tecnologia que se anuncia ubíqua, a fim de refletir como a IA será capaz de auxiliar os processos produtivos da comunicação. Estamos dispostos a “educar” esses dispositivos para um ambiente democrático, inclusivo e seguro?Este artículo aborda los riesgos del avance irreflexivo de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en los entornos laborales de la comunicación y propone un debate sobre su uso crítico y creativo.

Imaginaries of power and media networks: dialogues between the Creative Time Summit and Brazil

No campo da pesquisa em comunicação, especificamente no âmbito dos estudos do imaginário, observamos o surgimento de discussões que problematizam temas como arte, iconoclasmo, imagem e poder. Neste cenário, o artigo tem como objetivo desenvolver um estudo transversal sobre os imaginários de poder nas redes midiáticas. Através de mapeamentos das imagens e discursos presentes nas redes do Creative Time Summit, o artigo propõe relações com projetos brasileiros, baseando-se no conceito de imaginário de Durand e adotando como metodologia de análise a cartografia dos processos de comunicação e compartilhamento do imaginário desenvolvida por Leão. Nosso argumento é que as guerras das imagens, a criação de imagens nas comunidades, a compreensão processual e a formulação de pactos que compreendem as relações entre natureza e cultura configuram eixos de análise nas redes midiáticas capazes de revelar as complexas tramas dos imaginários do poder de nossa época.In communication research field, specifically in the scope of the imagery studies, we observe the emergence of discussions that problematize issues such as art, iconoclasm, image and power.
