Sessions GT01 – Citizen Participation and Communication Practices – between street and media

09.15 – 09.45 - Global urban cultures, mediation and new identity projects in graffiti

Lígia Ferro. Major in Sociology by the Letters Faculty of University of Porto, currently a Doctor student with International Doctor Programme for Urban Anthropology (ISCTE/IUL), with a scholarship by Science and Technology Foundation is preparing her thesis in the area of youth cultural practices in the urban context. Is a researcher with Research and Study Centre for Sociology (CIES-ISCTE) and with Sociology Institute of the Letters Faculty of the University of Porto (IS-FLUP).

Currently hip hop is a way of global urban culture built by a great variety of social actors that mediate different social worlds. In particular graffiti artists create social mediation actions between the city centre and the urban outskirts, between the street and the art gallery, between the street the city and the world. Based on study cases from Barcelona and Lisbon we come to understand the mediation scheme that brings forth new identity projects in the urban world.


09.45 – 10.15 - CULTURAL JAMMING. Social participation through the internet

Ana Isabel dos Santos Lopes . Ana Isabel dos Santos Lopes. Major in Communication Design by the Fine-Arts Faculty of Lisbon is a freelancer and works in Graphic Design and Web Design. Works as a Design and Multimedia trainer in Image and Communication Professional School, in Lisbon. Has a Masters in Communication Sciences – New Media and Web Practices, Human and Social Sciences Faculty, New University of Lisbon.

Which role plays the new media in organizing and promoting concerted political actions? In which way can Cultural Piracy interfere and promote the discussion of current problems such as globalization, sustainability, employment? This paper is based on an article from the book “Espaço Público, Direitos Humanos & Multimedia: Novos Desafios” (Public Space, Human Rights and Multimedia: New Challenges) in which the author analyzes and questions the active role of the New Media in creating a more connected society as well as more socially engaged that takes part in trying to solve current problems in a global way. By surveying and comparing movements and manifestations, concerned with these questions, that somehow used the public space and new technology to have their problems reach a greater number of people, we try to draw conclusions on the real relevancy of cultural piracy and how it reaches its goals.


Plenary Conference

10.15 - 10.45 - Feminine Politics: female members of Parliament, political cycles and media representations – a diachronic and synchronistic view

Ana Cabrera. Assistant Researcher with Centre for Media and Journalism Research, Human and Social Sciences Faculty, New University of Lisbon. Coordinator for the following projects: Censorship and information control mechanisms in Theatre and Cinema during the Dictatorship period; Feminine Politics – Gender polices and strategies oriented towards the visibility of Female Members of Parliament (both ongoing with Centre for Media and Journalism Research). Among others author of: Marcello Caetano: Imprensa e Poder. (Marcelo Caetano: Press and Power) Lisbon: Livros Horizonte, 2006.


This paper is part of a project financed by FCT (Science and Technology Foundation) and developed by the Centre for Media and Journalism Research (CIMJ): Feminine Politics – Gender Policies and strategies oriented toward the visibility of Female Members of Parliament in Portugal. This project analyses the representation of women and gender issues in the Portuguese Parliament in three political cycles between 1975 and 2002: PREC (ongoing revolutionary period) (1975 – 1976), Cavaquismo (1987 – 1995) and Guterrismo (1995 – 2002). For each one of these political cycles we chose epiphenomenon centered in gender issues. The press analysis is based on the representation of the female members of Parliament in five newspapers regarding their actions concerning each epiphenomenon. The study on the representation of female members’ actions is based on the analysis of journalistic pieces including text and image.
Besides presenting longitudinal results that show the evolution of Portuguese female members of Parliament we also wish to present examples of information coverage analysis concerning epiphenomenon and focus on analyzing text and image.

14.00-14.30 Television Remix

Francisco Rui Cádima, Doctor in Social Communication, specialized in Media History, by the Human and Social Sciences Faculty (FCSH) of the New University of Lisbon. Associate Professor with Recognition and Member of the Executive Committee of the Department of Communication Sciences of FCSH, is also researcher, coordinator and consultant in research projects concerning Audiovisual, Institutions and Companies of the social communication and communication area.

From broadcasting to egocasting, form old school typewriter and phone journalism to next journalism, it’s a whole paradigm that changes in the new communication processes. The new communication culture is based on networks, platforms, applications and, most importantly on its new users that we call “produsers”. On the other hand, old school Television is on a downhill route and is ever more surrounded and compressed by multiple nomadic fragmented contents that emerge from disseminated practices of individual users. It’s the empire of the so called “non-linear” completely taken in by the digital era. This means that the actual flow of communication inflected radically. The system and flow of communication is ever more from all to all and not from one to all. The old “pyramid” structured system is nowadays democratized and expands in a rhizomatic matrix structure allowing for an approach to a new context in which public opinion expresses itself more and more in the deliberative board, in multiple statements of the “I” and no longer just in the representative one.


14.30-15.00 - Meta-autthorship in Pioneer Tele-writing Events

Artur Matuck, Professor at Arts and Communication School, of University of São Paulo since 1984, has worked, both in Brazil and abroad, as researcher, writer, artist, lectured courses, taken part in conferences and workshops on Art History, Interactive Television, Telecommunication and Art, Computer Textual Creation and Author’s Rights in the Digital Era.

Artists and telematic writers that work with telecommunication media have used means of meta-creation in designing, planning and implementing their interactive events. Since that, by designing tele-active events they create meta-speeches, bi or multi-phase ways of creative expression are first presented.
With this study some experimental projects of tele-writing that were designed and carried out between 1983 and 1992, are analyzed and assessed as ways of expression in the context of meta-authorship and collective expression.
Such events are the first in which artists and writers cooperate through computer networks and that way start a new form of authorship and writing.
Since then writing through networks has become an everyday activity. However, the writing model designed by the first net-authors is still an important means for analyzing and understanding the new forms of digital writing in today’s networks.

09.00- 09.40 Documentary

Title: Versos e Cacetes. O jogo do pau na cultura afro-fluminense (Lyrics and Batons. The game of the stick in African-Fulminense culture)
Film length: 37:18
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Portuguese, 2009
Diretor and script: Matthias Röhrig Assunção & Hebe Mattos. Câmera: Guilherme Fernández, Helio Leite.
Sponsor: Projeto Capoeira Viva 2007.

Summary: The film “Versos e Cacetes” documents the game of the stick and how it is part of the Afro-fulminense culture from Paraíba’s Valley. They are the descendants of slaves that worked in the coffee plantations of this region in the 19th century. The first part of this film recreates the party ambience of calango in which two or more singers were accompanied by sanfona (accordion), drums and pandeiros (tambourines) and challenged each other through improvised lines. During the ball also emerged tensions and rivalries between plantations and towns that many times ended in confrontation. The men fought each other by means of batons and acts of tripping. However the batons were also used in friendly games, the so called game of the stick, which was played on Sundays. The film tries to make more visible this tradition of combat game that in many places only exists in the memory of the old practitioners. The memory of the game of the stick produces new clues for the capoeira’s history.

Plenary Conference

09.40-10.10 The ethnographic film and Identity building in the popular culture of the Black Atlantic

Matthias Röhrig Assunção, Professor at the History Department of Essex University – England. Among others is the author of Capoeira. The History of an Afro-Brazilian Martial Art. (London & New York: Routledge, 2005)

During the last twenty years the development of accessible digital technology has made it possible to document cultural manifestations in a broader way. Audio visual registry no longer requires a professional team or substantial funds and is now available to researchers, students and even to local communities. Such footage circulate as DVDs and on the internet (youtube, myspace, facebook, etc) and it still has great influence in the way how popular culture sets itself in the modern world and in the global culture. At the same time these new recordings create new perspectives for academic research and new relationships with the studied communities. We will try to bring to discussion some experiments from the Laboratório de História Oral e Imagem (LABHOI) (Oral History and Image Laboratory) of the Federal Fluminense University in the research project on “Raizes Angolanas da Capoeira” (Capoeira’s Angolan Roots) (sponsored by Arts and Humanities Research Council British).


10.10-10.40
Documentary

Título: Boi de zabumba é a nossa tradição! (Zabumba bull is our tradition)
Duração: 26 minutes, Portuguese
Maranhão, Brazil, Portuguese, 2010
Diretors: Ana Stela Cunha and Vicente Simão Jr.
Sponsor: Petrobras

Synopsis:
This documentary shows testimonies Of bumba Boid players and Guimarães, Baixada Ocidental Council from Maranhão, considered one of the oldest of the region. Oral history tales seemingly date this “playfull game” as far as the 17th century in a convergence of heritage and dialogues between the Iberian colonizers and the black African slave population. This documentary also shows the importance of oral tradition in this context as well as the transformation that these groups have gone through due to public policies aimed at the black population of Brazil and so starting a discussion that imparts the relation of these communities with the media.


10.40-11.10 - Media, Public Policies and Identity: ontological wars and cultural commerce within the “quilombola”
This paper will try to show how public policies and the addition/use of the current media aimed at a specific target of the Brazilian population (the so called “quilombolas”) has been responsible for creating/renewing/erasing identities (Arruti, 2010) in a recategorization in which ontologically united universes are often split and vice versa.
The researcher’s personal experiences with the quilombolan communities of Baixada Ocidental from Maranhão in which she has been developing education projects financed by big corporations (public and private) will be part of this discussion as well as the analysis arising from this historical moment.
We will also discuss the role of the media in this rearrangement and the importance of audio/visual recording by the involved communities which creates broader discussions concerning identity and sense of belonging.

Pause 15 minutes
Sessions GT02 – Media and Identity Representations

11.25- 11.55 - Mandinga for export: capoeira’s cunning feature as simbolic heritage in the global era
Mandinga is a magical attribute - symbolic, existing as mandinga’s purses due to Mandinga Negros, former inhabitants of the Niger Valley in the Mali Kingdom, that during the slave trafficking of the Black Atlantic were transported to other areas of the globe. The mandinga’s purses were traded by the slaves as means of spiritual guarnishment, among other beliefs, and integrate capoeira as a protection charm, changing its meaning, and so designating the malicious and cunning capoeirista as mandingueiro. With this paper we wish to show the different designations of mandinga in the sacred field and how the practitioners of capoeira appropriate them. We also wish to analyze how mandinga in capoeira was approached in movies and how it was used as advertisement for exporting capoeira, especially mandinga, as a comercial product into the world and as a symbolic heritage for the practitioners. For this purpose we analyzed the following documentaries: Mandinga em Manhattan (Mandinga in Manhattan) and Mestre Leopoldina: a fina flor da malandragem (Master Leopoldina: the ultimate master of cunning).

Plenary Conference

14.00 –14.30 Identity Narrations in Lusophone Cyberspace
In this paper we present the conceptual and methodological approach of a transdisciplinary research project that analyzes the (re)construction of the “Lusophone” identity in cyberspace and in everyday interpersonal communication. We also report some of the preliminary results of the project’s first stage that analyzes blogs and sites concerning collective memory, national identity and the “Lusophone” world. The great geographical dispersion of the “Lusophone” space has made it difficult to carry out systematic studies on how this “imaginary community” defines itself and is defined, having as basis the different national communities of which it is composed. To study the meanings of the “Lusophone world” is an opportunity of giving voice to traditionally silenced groups, of discussing the social representations that form the everyday life of people who live in this heterogeneous space and of hearing their narrations.

14.30 – 15.00 The Lusophone space from the migration and media perspective

With this paper we aim at promoting the discussion concerning the existence of a migratory system inside the “Lusophone space” from the perspective of people and media contents circulation. Therefore, the concept of “Lusophone world and space” becomes complex when taking into account colonial history, post-colonial analysis, globalization/localization strategies and diaspora. By focusing the discussion in the migratory system in Portugal we regain the world-system concept developed by Braudel (1949) and Wallerstein (2004) in the migratory phemomenon analysis. We then discuss the existence of a “Lusophone space” flowing into the Iberian-American space, in which people and contents circulate, bound to the language (and to the linguistic root), to history and to a shared imaginary world. Above all, these issues are not just analyzed by authors concerned with migrations (Kritz and Zlotnik,1992; Peixoto, 2008 and Baganha, 2009), in diaspora and media (Anderson, 2005; Appadurai; 2004; Barbero,1997; Barker,1997; Bhabha,2007; Canclini, 1999 and Gilroy, 2001; 2007) but also in empirical studies on migrations and in the media.


15.30-16.00 – Challenges for Citizenship in the Context of Left-Wing Politics in Latin America: The Case of Brazil

Marieke Riethof. Lecturer in Latin American politics, department
of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies and Fellow at RILAS – Research Institute of Latin America Studies, both University of Liverpool. She is an expert on Latin American politics, in particular the politics of and international relations of Brazil and the Southern Cone. Her research focuses on the role of labour and social movements in Latin American politics, as well as on the domestic and international influences on policy-making and democratisation in Latin America. She has published articles on the political and economic role of trade unions in developing countries, and on the social and political effects of economic crisis and reforms in Latin America.
Left-leaning governments and movements have taken the political centre stage in many Latin American countries, while citizenship is often a central to left-wing political strategies. While such left actors have aimed to expand citizenship, the question arises as to how their strategies have shaped citizenship regimes and impacted on citizen-state relations.
The literature on the left often focuses on identifying different types of left-wing politics in Latin America and explanations of the rise of the left, both as a party-political force and as part of social-movement and grassroots mobilisation. Another distinction commonly found is between the moderate and the radical left. The paper argues that an analysis of left-wing politics from the perspective of citizenship can reveal several important tensions, particularly with respect to strategies of political inclusion and marginalisation. It also allows analysis of the implications of left-wing politics for practices of democracy, leading to the questions about the extent to which left-wing parties and movements have been able to challenge and change the existing framework of formal politics. The paper argues that the impact of the rise of left-wing politics in Latin America on citizenship rights has been uneven.
In the case of Brazil, left-wing politics appeared to offer alternatives at several levels: alternatives to liberal democracy in the form of participatory forms of democracy and decision-making; progressive social programmes; and the continuing pressure of social movements to expand citizenship rights. At the same time, it can be questioned whether these programmes also translate into social rights, meaningful political participation and an end to marginalisation. Although these social policies target immediate needs and have led to poverty alleviation, they have not necessarily changed income distribution and inequality.

16.15 – 16.45 Hip-Hop, the 5th element and educomunication (media and education)

Ana Rita Chaves, cultural producer and official member of the Brazilian Universal Zulu Nation, has 25 years experience in the socio-cultural field and won the title of Zulu Queen by promoting the true Hip Hop culture in order to support the at risk youth from the Favelas and other Brazil’s Neighbourhoods. Founder of Zulu Nation in Portugal has developed two innovatory projects in this country supported by Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian. Hip Hop de Batom (lipstick Hip Hop) (for young women victims of violence) and Hip Hop pela Paz (Hip Hop for Peace) (in order to promote a Peace and non-violence culture within and outside low income neighbourhoods together with its young residents). From this project arose the album “Hip Hop de Batom” (Lipstick Hip Hop) in 2010 featuring young people from Portuguese speaking countries and in September 2011 the album “Hip Hop pela Paz” (Hip Hop for Peace) will be released featuring young people from several low income neighbourhoods in Lisbon.

Currently Hip Hop culture has a crucial role in consolidating aesthetic and human principles, in the education of young people, in creating citizenship and in transforming human and social relations even in third world and developing countries that at present go through an economic and human principles crisis. Hip Hop culture together with educommunication and through consolidating the 5th Element drives young people to become aware of themselves, I, and the world.
Since 2009 the association Dialogo e Acção/Zulu Nation Portugal has been implementing educommunication, “media and education”, in its working methodology as a way of educating through media resources (filmmaking, photos, audio, microphones, computers, newspapers, tv, etc.) aiming at developing collective research and knowledge (5th element) - non formal education.
Educommunication or “media and education” is recognized as a “teaching method in which mass communication and media in general are used as means of educating. It is also a field of convergence between education and other human sciences that arose from the 70s through the Escola de Comunicação e Artes of USP (Universidade de São Paulo)” at the same time that on the other side the Hip Hop (USA) culture is born.
The great challenge of Educommunication is to get young people to work, to produce quality material concerning given contents. For instance, in relation to “Non-Violence”, the youngsters research and create, making it gratifying for the educators involved since due to the work developed by educommunication these young people, once fed up with the old school formal classroom, regain motivation for a dynamic and pleasent process. By using much more interesting and creative resources than those used in the classroom these youngsters develop research on several subjects stimulating the mind, broadening their creativity and developing their intellect.



16.45 – 17.15 “BRAZIL SHOWS ITS FACE” - : marginal aesthetics in Brazilian audiovisual

Rosana Martins. Post-doctoral Student and Researcher at CIMJ – Centre for Media and Journalism Research, Social and Human Sciences Faculty, New University of Lisbon and Researcher at Centre for Pedagogic Cybernetic Studies - Digital Languages Laboratory –University of São Paulo/Arts and Communication School - São Paulo/Brazil. Fellow for the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in the Humanities (CISH), University of Essex. Research Fellow at Institute of Latin American Studies (RILAS), University of Liverpool, Visiting Researcher at King's Brazil Institute, King's College London, UK. Member of The Transnational Lives, Mobility and Gender network (TLM&G) - Institute of Social Sciences - University of Lisbon / European Science Foundation

To promote the discussion of Brazilian audiovisual production concerning social issues, perspective, and the identity expression of marginal urban aesthetics. To analyze the relation between misery and violence produced and reproduced by the audiovisual as well as the appropriation of the other’s perspective by the media and how the marginal look, perspective uses the media for depicting their own point of view and their own social field. It becomes necessary to ponder upon the role that government agencies have and the cultural repercurssions concerning integration and recognition policies.

MARTINS, Rosana - PEDROSO, Maria Goretti, CÁDIMA, Rui (Org.). Espaço Público, Direitos Humanos & Multimedia: Novos Desafios. Editora Multifoco, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 2011), 478p.

“Espaço Público, Direitos Humanos, Culturalidades: novos desafios” (Public Space, Human Rights, Culturality: new challenges) aims mostly at offering a broad scope on current social transformations in contemporaneity, approaching its limitations and possibilities, focusing on the fundaments for Human Rights education and on the multiple flows of the dialogue with the public space. This work aims at bringing contribution to creating public policies concerning security, rights and citizenship. An important, and worth mentioning, aspect of this book is the global mobilization of authors, both from the formal and non-formal field of education, concerned with strengthening and implementing the understanding of Human Rights in democratic citizenship.
The three parts of the book (and that correspond to the chapters) draw the attention to this dynamic emphasizing the importance of education as privileged means in promoting Human Rights. This work encourages the existence of a broad space for exchanging experiences besides allowing for new research and acting configuration. Besides being relevant reading for researchers and professionals of the Human Rights field and Human Sciences Students, this work will provide an exceptional source of information and is an important current document for updating the discussion concerning public space dialogue and promoting Human Rights.

PANORAMA BRASIL-PORTUGAL EM MOVIMENTO - LISBOA 2010 (NOVEMBRO E DEZEMBRO)

PANORAMA BRASIL EM MOVIMENTO

AGENDA CULTURAL - II SEMINÁRIO INTERNACIONAL LUSO-BRASILEIRO

PANORAMA BRASIL-PORTUGAL EM MOVIMENTO

Novembro-Dezembro 2010

II Seminário Internacional Luso-Brasileiro

Media, Arte e Tecnologia


Brasil e Portugal em diálogo

De um lado Portugal e do outro Brasil, separados pelo oceano, agora unem-se através da conexão cultural no sentido de fortalecer e consolidar o fraterno relacionamento de laços tão antigos, tão especiais, tão estreitos e tão fortes que unem historicamente os dois países. O projecto que aqui se apresenta visa estimular o intercâmbio cultural em língua portuguesa, a partir do cinema, pintura, música, teatro, envolvendo artistas e académicos de ambos os países. Uma das características do projecto é o carácter interdisciplinar das suas acções que giram em torno das temáticas da cidadania, cultura, linguagem e comunicação. Panorama Brasil-Portugal em movimento propõe, ainda, a reflexão, o diálogo, o envolvimento e mobilização de todos na sociedade como parte integrante no mundo.

Um debate intercultural planetário

Na contemporaneidade, o processo de globalização vem fornecendo novas configurações identitárias, o que nos leva à análise das relações do sujeito com o global/local e o fenómeno da fragmentação dos territórios. Ao colocar diferentes áreas do globo em interconexão, a globalização faz com que as perspectivas de transformação social atinjam virtualmente todo o mundo. Assim, não só temos uma maior circulação de produtos como também uma rearticulação das relações entre culturas e entre países. Aqui, o poder económico está descentralizado, deslizando pelos continentes atrás de escala e rentabilidade; as culturas estão mais híbridas devido ao aumento das possibilidades desterritorialização.

A integração e reprodução da nova ordem global fundamenta-se na lógica da curta duração, dissolução e fragmentação da identidade do indivíduo. No admirável mundo novo das oportunidades fugazes e seguranças frágeis, a saturação do universo simbólico daí resultante deixa-nos inertes e apáticos, rendidos à pura reprodução e sem qualquer outro referente que não seja as próprias imagens geradas pelos media. A generalidade dos modelos produzidos é ordenada por uma lógica de disciplinamento do corpo social, que pretende remeter a cada indivíduo uma dada posição bem definida na sociedade (enquanto consumidor).

Encontramos, porém, processos de reconhecimento dos grupos que carregam e defendem as diferenças étnicas e culturais que se opõem à matriz dominante do nation-building; a demanda por inclusão e por pluralidade no sentido da reparação de exclusões históricas; a demanda por reorientação das políticas públicas no sentido de assegurar a diversidade/pluralidade de grupos e tradições.

O actual contexto social tem sido determinado por mudanças substanciais em todas as esferas da actividade humana. Estamos passando por um processo de redefinição de uma série de conceitos, valores e princípios que até há muito pouco tempo, não eram sequer questionados.

Os tempos actuais, (os tempos pós-modernos, para alguns), causaram um estado de transformação na sociedade humana, havendo uma modificação do estado sólido para o líquido. Este estado de fluidez não é apenas econômica ou política, ela também se reproduz nas restantes áreas da vida humana: nas relações pessoais e na vida cotidiana. Estamos vivendo os múltiplos efeitos de um mundo cada vez mais complexo, com avanços tecnológicos, mas também com antagonismos, contradições, conflitos, formas de inclusão e exclusão dos sujeitos.

O mundo contemporâneo, ao mesmo tempo em que se abre a fluxos do capital financeiro globalizado, exibe inúmeros exemplos de fortalecimento dos controles territoriais, de revitalização dos nacionalismos, de valorização das raízes étnicas, da xenofobia e da busca por uma definição mais concreta de identidade. Nesse horizonte, a sociedade global pode ser vista como uma totalidade desde o início problemática, é complexa e contraditória; atravessada por desigualdades e diferenças, que se reflectem nos indivíduos, grupos, classes, tribos, nações, sociedades, culturas, religiões e idiomas. Desarticula as identidades fixas e estáveis do passado, mas, abre perspectivas para novas articulações que permitem a criação de novas identidades e a produção de novos sujeitos que se recompõem em torno de pontos nodais particulares de articulação ou “pluralidade de centros de poder”.

Ao mesmo tempo que a globalização representa uma certa forma de interconexão e interpenetração entre regiões, estados nacionais e comunidades locais que está marcada pela hegemonia do capital e do mercado, ela também se faz acompanhar por uma potencialização da busca por singularidade, por um espaço de diferença - a emergência de novas formas de identificação coletiva – negros, mulheres, povos indígenas, ecologia, pacifismo, juventude, movimentos religiosos – e novas formas de pensamento, que puseram em questão o etnocentrismo e o caráter excludente da ordem vigente. A identidade é, então, construída a partir de elementos opostos: diferença e igualdade; objetividade e subjetividade; ocultação e revelação e, para compreendê-la, é necessário desvendar essas contradições dialéticas.


Diferenças e encontros


Este encontro de natureza transnacional revela-se uma ocasião ímpar de diálogo e intercâmbio, ao procurar problematizar as actuais políticas culturais e científicas, a diversidade cultural e a produção artística em língua portuguesa. É nosso intuíto, também, aprofundar e sistematizar propostas teórico-metodológicas na formação para a intervenção em contextos de diversidade cultural;, tendo como eixo central:

a) Foco na diferença
b) Foco nas estratégias pedagógicas
c) Foco no diálogo

Promovemos o intercâmbio de iniciativas e conhecimento entre Brasil e Portugal visando à elaboração de ações positivas por parte do Estado e da sociedade civil. Panorama Brasil-Portugal em Movimento visa a reflexão, o diálogo, o envolvimento e a mobilização da comunidade científica, académica, cultural e artística de ambos países, incentivando o estabelecimento de pontes e parcerias para o futuro.
