No. of bitstreams: 1 Eduardo Silveira de Menezes.pdf: 5643997 bytes, checksum: fa3bdff98ded7e9f97d9e8f178cb2ede (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-11-27 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES# / #2075167498588264571# / #600 / The Phd thesis, presented here, analyzes the coverage of the 2014 presidential elections in Brazil, dealing with issues related to the application and applicability of the analysis of pecheuxtiana discourse in the field of journalistic training. We consider the discursive functioning of Brazilian journalism, in its different forms of materialization, we can identify significant contributions of DA to the practice of professional practice. When we make such an analysis, in communication groups registered in antagonistic discursive formations (FDI / Grupo Folha and FDCI / Rede Brasil Atual), it is identified according to the report. In order to better organize this research, we have chosen to divide it into four chapters. In the first one, we present the analytical corpus and define the methodology employed, emphasizing that the analysis of the selected material occurs in the course of all the work. The second chapter is dedicated to a (re) reading of the main theories of journalism under the bias of DA. This theoretical path allows us to understand the proximity - and, above all, distancing - between the currents of thought in vogue, today, in the process of training Brazilian journalists. From there, we discuss the pertinence of the inclusion of the discursive theory that we are proposing in the process of training the professional of the area. With the third chapter, we began to demonstrate the heterogeneous nature of journalistic texts, advancing in the interpretive gestures necessary to think about the journalist's role, redefining concepts and demonstrating, through different discursive materialities, how the production of meanings in the Brazilian journalism. Therefore, we consider the interrelationship of digital, printed, radio and television media, considering that the current context of news production and circulation occurs through the production conditions of Computer-mediated Communication (CMC). Therefore, although cyber journalism is not the focus of this study, some of its characteristics are redistricted, from the point of view of DA, allowing us to develop the concept of cyber journalistic event. The fourth - and last - chapter of this thesis takes a look at all the research. Thus, we move two fundamental concepts for the theory of journalism: editor (spokesperson) and sources (subject sources). As a conclusion effect, we present a possible way to continue the proposal of contribution of the analysis of the pecheuxtian discourse to the journalistic formation, considering the different - and always changeable - materialities that constitute this professional activity. / A tese de doutorado, aqui apresentada, analisa a cobertura das eleições presidenciais de 2014, no Brasil, tratando de questões ligadas à inserção e aplicabilidade da análise de discurso pecheuxtiana no âmbito da formação jornalística. Considerando o funcionamento discursivo do jornalismo brasileiro, nas suas diferentes formas de materialização, podemos identificar contribuições significativas da AD para o exercício da referida prática profissional. Ao realizarmos tal análise, em grupos de comunicação inscritos em FD’s antagônicas (FDI/Grupo Folha e FDCI/Rede Brasil Atual), identificamos gestos de interpretação importantes para se repensar o fazer jornalístico. Com vistas a melhor organização desta pesquisa, optamos por dividi-la em quatro capítulos. No primeiro, apresentamos o corpus analítico e definimos a metodologia empregada, ressaltando que a análise do material selecionado se dá no transcorrer de todo o trabalho. O segundo capítulo dedica-se a uma (re)leitura das principais teorias do jornalismo sob o viés da AD. Tal percurso teórico nos permite compreender as proximidades – e, sobretudo, os distanciamentos – entre as correntes de pensamento em voga, hoje, no processo de formação dos jornalistas brasileiros. A partir daí, discorrermos sobre a pertinência da inclusão da teoria discursiva que estamos propondo no processo de formação do profissional da área. Com o terceiro capítulo, passamos a demonstrar a natureza heterogênea dos textos jornalísticos, avançando nos gestos de interpretação necessários para se pensar a atuação do sujeito jornalista, redefinindo conceitos e demonstrando, por meio de diferentes materialidades discursivas, como se dá a produção de sentidos no jornalismo brasileiro. Consideramos, para tanto, a inter-relação das mídias digital, impressa, radiofônica e televisa, tendo em vista que o atual contexto da produção e circulação de notícias se dá por meio das condições de produção próprias da Comunicação Mediada pelo Computador (CMC). Sendo assim, embora o ciberjornalismo não seja o foco deste estudo, algumas de suas características são rediscutidas, sob a ótica da AD, permitindo-nos desenvolver o conceito de acontecimento ciberjornalístico. O quarto – e último – capítulo desta tese faz um apanhado de toda a pesquisa. Realizamos, assim, o deslocamento de dois conceitos fundamentais para a teoria do jornalismo: editor (porta-voz) e fontes (sujeitos fonte). Como efeito de conclusão, apresentamos um caminho possível para dar continuidade à proposta de contribuição da análise de discurso pecheuxtiana para a formação jornalística, considerando as diferentes – e sempre mutáveis – materialidades constitutivas desta atividade profissional.

In a democracy it is the citizens who choose their leaders. Through elections, the people constitute government to preside over public affairs. However, in several African countries the quality of the elections has been vitiated by fraud, incompetence, unequal playing field and violence. Part of the problem is historical. Within the first decade of attaining independence in the 1950s and 1960s, many African regimes rapidly descended into autocracy and many countries formally recognised one-party regimes. Despite many one-party regimes having been abolished after the democratisation wave of the late 1980s and early 1990s, challenges of holding free and fair elections persist. Several elections held since this democratic wave were generally not considered by independent observers as free and fair. Indeed Africa has become well known for flawed elections, such as was the case in the 2007 elections in Kenya, the 2008 elections in Zimbabwe and the 2010 elections in Ivory Coast. Due to the stifled democratic climate, where even elections had a predetermined outcome, coups became a common and regular method of showing discontent or removing government. While the phenomenon of problematic elections is going on, at the continental level, Africa seems to be making renewed commitment towards democratic governance. With the transformation of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) into the African Union (AU) through the adoption of the Constitutive Act of the African Union in 2000, the AU, inter alia, committed to promoting “democratic principles and institutions, popular participation and good governance” and seems determined to depart from the legacy of poor governance. It is in view of the foregoing background that this research sought to investigate the challenges the judiciary in Africa has faced in adjudicating presidential election disputes. And, in light of the growing trend towards establishing common African democratic standards and seeking collective solutions, the research also sought to explore the viability of establishing a continental supranational mechanism for resolving disputed presidential elections through adjudication. / Public, Constitutional and International Law / LL.

Esta dissertação propõe-se a analisar a mídia impressa, enfocando as revistas Época e IstoÉ e sua cobertura sobre as eleições presidenciais de 2010 e de 2014 no Brasil, a partir de uma perspectiva de gênero. Buscou-se identificar como foram construídas as figuras políticas das candidatas Dilma Rousseff (PT), Marina Silva (PV e PSB) em relação ao candidato José Serra (PSDB) e Aécio Neves (PSDB) nesses pleitos. A hipótese levantada é que esses semanários promoveram uma representação diferenciada com base no gênero das candidatas/os à presidência da República, a partir de narrativas que reforçam a associação socialmente aceita do feminino com a esfera privada e do masculino com a esfera pública. Considerando que a política e a mídia são campos em constante interação, e que os fatos ocorridos em um terão repercussão no outro, entende-se a mídia como um ator central do jogo político contemporâneo. Em ambos os campos a participação das mulheres é assimétrica e diferenciada em relação aos homens. Deste modo, torna-se importante questionar como a mídia impressa contribui para a manutenção do cenário de baixa representação feminina na política institucional e quais narrativas são construídas sobre as mulheres que disputam importantes cargos eletivos. A abordagem dos 194 textos selecionados deu-se através do uso da técnica de análise de conteúdo e tendo como suporte a Teoria política feminista e seu debate em torno da díade esfera pública e esfera privada. A partir da análise empreendida conclui-se que em ambas as revistas investigadas a representação das candidatas Dilma e Marina foi diferenciada de seus concorrentes homens. O gênero foi um marcador importante na narrativa construída pela mídia impressa sobre as eleições presidenciais de 2010 e 2014, em que as candidatas têm seus corpos, personalidade e vida pessoal e afetiva mais exploradas nos textos jornalísticos do que seus concorrentes homens. Também foi constatada a reprodução e reforço de estereótipos socialmente associados às mulheres, bem como uma desqualificação sistemática da figura de Dilma Rousseff e uma interseção entre classe e gênero na representação de Marina Silva. / This dissertation aims to analyse print media, focusing on the magazines Época and IstoÉ and their reporting of the presidential elections of 2010 and 2014, from a gender perspective. The goal was to identify how the political figures of the candidates Dilma Rousseff (PT) and Marina Silva (PV and PSB) were constructed, in comparison to the candidates José Serra (PSDB) and Aécio Neves (PSDB) during the referred litigations. The hypothesis brought up is that these weekly publications promoted a distinct representation based on the gender of the presidency candidates, starting from the narratives that reinforce the socially accepted association of the feminine to the private sphere and the masculine to the public sphere. Considering that politics and the mass media are fields in constant interaction, that the events transpired in one will echo on the other, the mass media is understood to be a primal player in the contemporary political scenario. In both fields women’s participation is asymmetric and differentiated if compared to men. Thus, it’s relevant to question how the print media contributes to maintain the scenario of low feminine representation in institutional politics, as well as which narratives are constructed regarding women who compete for important elective positions. The approach of the 194 selected texts was made using the technique of content analysis, having as support the political feminist theory and it’s debate on the dyade public sphere/private sphere. Through the performed analysis it was made clear that in both magazines investigated the representation of the candidates Dilma and Marina was essentially different than that of their male competitors. Gender was a relevant topic in the narrative constructed by the print media regarding the presidential elections of 2010 and 2014, in which the feminine candidates have their bodies, personality, as well as personal and affective lives more exploited in journalistic texts then their male competitors. It was also verified the reproduction and reinforcement of stereotypes socially associated to women, as well as a systematic disqualification of Dilma Rousseff’s figure and an intersection between class and gender in the representation of Marina Silva.

The thesis discusses the uprising of Zapatista Army of National Liberation and its impact on democratization and political transformation in Mexico. First, it looks into the context of the political situation in Mexico before 1994, history of Zapatista army and the election year of 1994. The reasons for the uprising were several - from neoliberalism in the Mexican economy and the completion of the land reform until the joining of NAFTA. During the uprising, Mexico was an authoritarian regime with a government of one party - the Institutional Revolutionary Party. The Zapatistas have tried to proclaim the change of direction of Mexican politics. The actual rebellion lasted only 12 days before the start of negotiations between the government and rebels. Thanks to the media and broad international support, the uprising evolved into a left-wing movement, fighting for the rights of the Indian population and the poorer Mexican inhabitants. Over the years the Zapatistas have achieved partial success and often provide direction for the political transition. The main subject of this thesis is examining the impact of democratization on the Zapatistas in Mexico.

[pt] Nós mostramos que um fator político que explora a variação cross-section em retornos individuais de ações pode prever o resultado de eleições nacionais, incluindo o ganho líquido de assentos no congresso e o presidente. Usando eleições presidenciais dos Estados Unidos desde 1928, nós também encontramos que esse portfolio long-short construído ao redor da eleição entrega informação sobre aprovação presidencial por um longo período depois da eleição. / [en] We show that a political factor that exploits cross-sectional variation in individual stock returns can forecast national election results, including net House seat gains and the president. Using US presidential elections since 1928, we also find that this long-short portfolio constructed around the election period delivers information on presidential approval for a long period after the election.

Early voting studies before television predominance determined that mass media had a "limited effect" on American voting behavior. This work reassesses the limited-effects notion. The thesis is that the mass media do have significant impact on voting decisions. A trend study, the work utilizes the Center for Political Studies national presidential election surveys 1952-1976, and multiple regression analysis to examine the impact of media, social, and political variables on the dependent variable, time of voting decision.
