Social Media in Emergent Brazil: How the Internet Affects Social Change
Abstract and Figures
Since the birth of the internet, low-income Brazilians have received little government support to help them access it. in response, they have largely self-financed their digital migration. internet cafés became prosperous businesses in working-class neighbourhoods and rural settlements, and, more recently, families have aspired to buy their own home computer with hire purchase agreements. As low-income Brazilians began to access popular social media sites in the mid-2000s, affluent Brazilians ridiculed their limited technological skills, different tastes and poor schooling, but this did not deter them from expanding their online presence. Young people created profiles for barely literate older relatives and taught them to navigate platforms such as Facebook and WhatsApp.
Based on 15 months of ethnographic research, this book aims to understand why low-income Brazilians have invested so much of their time and money in learning about social media. Juliano spyer explores this question from a number of perspectives, including education, relationships, work and politics. He argues the use of social media reflects contradictory values. Low-income Brazilians embrace social media to display literacy and upward mobility, but the same technology also strengthens traditional networks of support that conflict with individualism.

Рассматривая цифровые системы и виртуальные миры как культурные артефакты, антропологи исследуют их в широком социальном контексте, выявляя противоречия и сложности их функционирования. ...
The switch to online classes raised related issues regarding the new learning environment it created for students. The unavailability of university facilities and utilities like classrooms, libraries, cafes, and study rooms simply does not mean they were completely diminished in value and essence. It then becomes necessary to look at issues like a type of apartment, availability of study space, and ascertain if the situation offered any form of flexibility in management of space while studying during this period. This is because different cultures have different approaches to space management. How international students managed this and other uncertain situations this new learning environment created becomes the focus of the paper. The qualitative study is based on five in-depth semi-structured interviews with international students studying in Tallinn.

This work examines how academic and marginally other types of libraries in Brazil address issues relating to identity politics in the digital space. Based on a sample of tweets posted between 2020 and 2021, it was possible to formulate a typology of “Twitter activism” that can contribute to the operationalization of the term. It might also serve future studies as a means to assess the impact of online communication, which could ultimately assist libraries in making strategic decisions when it comes to positioning themselves politically in their public relations work. On a more general level, the work challenges the postulate of “neutrality” in library work and discusses the role and responsibility of libraries in societies marked by inequality and power asymmetries.
الهاتف الذكي هو حرفيًا أمام أنفنا باستمرار، وهو الأمر الذي يجعلك تعتقد اننا نعرف ما هو. لكن هل نحن نعرفه فعلاً؟ للإجابة على ذلك، قام 11 من علماء الأنثروبولوجيا بقضاء 16 شهرًا في مجتمعات في إفريقيا وآسيا وأوروبا وأمريكا الجنوبية، مع التركيز على استخدام كبار السن للهواتف الذكية. وقد أسفر ناتج بحثهم عن أن الهواتف الذكية هي تقنية للجميع ، وليس فقط من أجل الشباب. قدم الهاتف الذكي العالمي سلسلة من وجهات النظر الأصلية المشتقة من هذا المشروع البحثي العالمي والمقارن. الهواتف الذكية أصبحت مكانًا نعيش فيه بقدر ما هو جهاز نستخدمه لتوفير “الانتهازية الدائمة” ، وذلك نظراً لوجودهم الدائم معنا. يوضح المؤلفون كيف يتخطى الهاتف الذكي كونه أكثر من مجرد “جهاز تطبيقي”، ويقوموا باستكشاف الاختلافات بين ما يقوله الناس عن الهواتف الذكية وكيفية استخدامهم لها الهاتف الذكي هو غير مسبوق من حيث الدرجة التي يمكننا القيام بتحويلات له. ونتيجة لذلك ، فإنه يستوعب القيم الشخصية بشكل سريع. من أجل فهم الهاتف الذكي ، يجب أن نأخذ في الاعتبار مجموعة من الفروق الوطنية والثقافية ، مثل الاتصال المرئي في الصين واليابان ، الأموال المتنقلة في الكاميرون و أوغندا ، والوصول إلى المعلومات الصحية في تشيلي وأيرلندا – كل ذلك جنبًا إلى جنب مسارات متنوعة للشيخوخة في القدس والبرازيل وإيطاليا، وعندها فقط نستطيع معرفة ماهية الهاتف الذكي وفهم عواقبه على حياة الناس حول العالم دانيال ميللر هو أستاذ الأنثروبولوجيا في جامعة كاليفورنيا. ليلى عبد ربه هي باحثة في معهد هاري س. ترومان لتعزيز السلام. باتريك أووندو هو باحث ما بعد الدكتوراه في الأنثروبولوجيا بجامعة كاليفورنيا ، ومحاضر في جامعة ياوندي. مايا ده - فريس هي باحثة ما بعد الدكتوراه في الجامعة العبرية في القدس. ماريليا دوكي هي باحثة في المدرسة العليا للإعلام والتسويق بساو باولو. بولين غارفي هي أستاذة مساعدة في الأنثروبولوجيا في جامعة ماينوث بمقاطعة كيلدير بإيرلندا. لورا هابيو كيرك لورا هابيو كيرك هي طالبة دكتوراه بقسم الأنثروبولوجيا في كلية لندن الجامعية، وزميلة ببرنامج ال “ليتش / راي” في الأنثروبولوجيا العامة. شارلوت هوكينز هي باحثة ما بعد الدكتوراه بقسم الأنثروبولوجيا في كلية لندن الجامعية. ألفونسو أوتيغي هو محاضر في الجامعة البابوية الكاثوليكية في شيلي. شيرين والتون هي محاضرة في الأنثروبولوجيا في كلية جولد سميث بجامعة لندن. شينيوان وانغ هي باحثة ما بعد الدكتوراه في كلية لندن الج
O smartphone está tão frequentemente debaixo de nosso nariz, que assumimos saber o que ele é. Mas sabemos mesmo? Para descobrir, 11 antropólogos realizaram pesquisa de campo de 16 meses em países da África, Ásia, Europa e América do Sul, tendo como foco pessoas mais velhas. O livro O Smartphone Global apresenta perspectivas inéditas a partir desta pesquisa comparativa. A primeira descoberta é: os smartphones não são mais uma tecnologia restrita aos jovens, estando nas mãos de todos, independente da idade. Além disso, observou-se uma grande ambivalência entre aquilo que as pessoas falam sobre os smartphones e os modos como elas os usam na prática. Os smartphones se tornaram tanto um lugar em que vivemos, como apetrechos que providenciam um tipo de ‘oportunismo perpétuo’, por estarem sempre conosco. Vão além de um ‘repositório de aplicativos’. São um dispositivo sem precedentes em termos de potencial de transformação, assimilando rapidamente valores pessoais. Para compreender esse processo, considerou-se um leque de nuances nacionais e culturais, como a comunicação visual na China e no Japão, o dinheiro móvel em Camarões e Uganda, e acesso a informação sobre saúde no Chile e na Irlanda – juntamente com trajetórias variadas em relação ao envelhecimento em Al-Quds, no Brasil e na Itália. É dessa perspectiva global, e a partir do mapeamento de contextos diversos, que o livro se propõe a responder à pergunta O que é um smartphone? e a analisar suas consequências.
This article presents satire, irony, and parody as a means to contest racist structures through media production. I specifically examine the Is That OK With You? YouTube Series as it presents a break from traditional relationships between humor and race in Brazil by turning attention toward systemic racism. I theorize “satirical antiracism” as a way to understand how Afro‐Brazilians deploy satire to make visible the contradictions and inconsistencies of the racial order. Satirical antiracism is a form of activism that invokes the tension of contradictory subjects, such as humor and racism in communicating its message.
I conducted an ethnography of the humanised birth movement in São Paulo, Brazil between 2015 and 2018. In this thesis I examine the strategies used by the movement to address the two-fold problem in maternal healthcare in Brazil: excessive clinical interventions in childbirth (particularly caesarean sections), and “obstetric violence”: the disrespectful and/or abusive treatment of women during childbirth. Movement activists work towards a shared goal of promoting a woman-centred, normalised model of care through changes to policy and clinical practice. I took an ethnographic approach to “studying through” policies across sites and over time in order to examine how they are formed, implemented and contested. Interviews and focus groups with movement members (including mothers, doulas, midwives, obstetricians, politicians and programme leads), and observations in health facilities, participatory policy spaces, online, and in “everyday” social settings, led me to identify a range of strategies used by the movement to achieve their goals. These include: the strategic use of scientific evidence to support claims about the benefits of humanised birth; driving up demand for private humanised birth services; and the advocacy role of doulas, who “multiply” the movement’s messages. My findings contribute to debates around the medicalisation and humanisation of childbirth, questioning their dichotomisation, and instead provide evidence that what “matters” are women’s perceptions of care. I also found that there is potential in the humanised birth movement as a space for political action and successful health policymaking based around a shared feminine experience of sororidade (sisterhood), which encourages women to work collaboratively in a male-dominated socio-political context. Lessons might be drawn that have wider relevance in settings where policymakers are trying to reduce iatrogenic harm from unnecessary interventions in childbirth, and for supporters of normal birth working to reduce barriers to accessing midwifery-led, woman-centred care.
This text presents a historical and contextual account of the study of digital photography, from some seminal texts on photography during the analogue era to the emergence and consolidation of studies on digital photography. The texts suggest the importance of developing a new agenda for material visual practices that goes beyond image-centric approaches to photography.
Concordando com a proposição crítica de Angela McRobbie sobre o pós-feminismo, este artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre o tratamento dedicado às mulheres no programa Esquadrão da Moda (SBT). No estudo de caso, comparamos duas personagens “transformadas pelo esquadrão”, sob a perspectiva do “estar na moda” associado com a imposição de limites para a exibição do corpo feminino. As medidas da sensualidade e da feminilidade indicam que o corpo feminino deve sempre estar suscetível à adequação das regras do consumo, do trabalho e da felicidade individual, mesmo que às custas de humilhação.
