Nous décrivons le phénomène d’engagement à travers des expériences transmédia coconstruites avec les bénéficiaires dans le contexte de la formation pour adultes. Nous abordons ce terrain en faisant l’hypothèse qu’un transmédia à valeur expérientielle permet d’accroitre la participation des sujets pour consolider l’engagement en formation. Cette hypothèse ouvre la perspective d’une médiation de type transmédia capable, d’intégrer des objectifs d’exploitation scientifique de l’engagement et de valorisation de la participation et de l’attention qui pourraient être intéressants pour d’autres corpus.À partir d’un cadre d’analyse centré sur les bénéficiaires des transactions, notre enquête met en exergue différentes formes d’engagement suivant des transmédia hybrides aux caractéristiques spécifiques. La complémentarité de ces transmédia a favorisé divers régimes d’engagement observés de façon ponctuelle, pour un engagement sur la durée. / We describe the phenomenon of engagement through co-constructed transmedia experiences with the beneficiaries in the context of adult education. We approach this ground on the assumption that a transmedia with experiential value makes it possible to increase the participation of subjects to consolidate the commitment in training. This hypothesis opens up the prospect of a transmedia type of mediation capable of integrating the objectives of scientific exploitation for the commitment and enhancement of participation and the attention that could be interesting for other corpuses. Based on an analysis framework focused on the beneficiaries of transactions, our survey highlighted different forms of hybrid transmedia engagement with specific characteristics. The complementarity of these transmedia has favoured various commitment regimes observed on an ad hoc basis for a long-term commitment.

[pt] A dissertação A emergência do real na experiência teatral oferece uma reflexão crítica do espetáculo Nu de Mim Mesmo, encenado no Rio de Janeiro em 2008 pela Companhia Teatro Autônomo, que representa um inovador espaço de experimentação no panorama teatral carioca dos últimos vinte anos. Criada em processo colaborativo entre os atores e a direção de Jefferson Miranda em parceria com Flavio Graff, a obra dialoga com Literatura, Artes Plásticas e Cinema, tendo como palco a cena teatral em sua materialidade específica. Realizando uma investigação de teor metadiscursivo, o grupo se insere em um viés do teatro contemporâneo que busca interrogar-se acerca de seus limites, oferecendo um campo experimental profícuo para o entrecruzamento de diversas mídias. Privilegiando uma perspectiva construtivista, a dissertação ensaia formas alternativas de compreensão do teatro contemporâneo, apontando para uma reflexão acerca de conceitos tais como realidade, sentido e identidade, entendidos para além das dicotomias real/ficcional. / [en] The master thesis The Emergence of the Real in Theatrical Experience offers a critical view on the play Nu de mim mesmo (Nude of myself) staged in Rio de Janeiro, in 2008, by the Companhia Teatro Autônomo (Autonomous Theatre Company) which represents an innovative reference in the Carioca theatre scenery of the past twenty years. Created in a collaborative process involving actors and the direction of Jefferson Miranda, in partnership with Flavio Graff, this production, based on the theatrical field in its specificity and materiality, also establishes dialogues with the fields of Literature, Fine Arts and Cinema. Throughout a metalinguistic driven investigation, the group can be inserted into a particular branch of the contemporary theatre that questions its own limits, offering an advantageous experimental field to the intercrossing of various medias. Within this scope, with an approach that is close to the constructivist perspective, the thesis rehearses alternative forms of understanding contemporary theatre, and analyzes concepts such as reality, meaning and identity, all of them understood beyond the reality/fiction dichotomy.

The world is becoming a global place in which science, technology, engineering and mathematics hold a key to a successful future. To help secure this future it is important to engage students early with relevant curriculum that sparks interest and success in STEM fields. However, education reform occurs slowly, so this paper looked at a potential paradigm that can help to bring about change in a middle school environment that harnesses the long standing strengths of learning and education with the integration of technology to create changes in the pedagogy of learners and teachers. The study implemented a transmedia STEM book and evaluated the impact it had on student perceptions of STEM, school attitude, academic achievement, and preferred activity types, providing an example vehicle for change that can be adopted over time. The main findings showed that students who used a 3-Dimensional printer had higher math achievement and a more positive perception of math.

<p>Drawing from the theoretical foundations of the “critical theory” of the Frankfurt School and the media ethnographic “cultural studies” approach of the british Birmingham School, this study attempts to sketch out a media theoretical overview of the contemporary state of media culture. Using the term convergence culture as the foundation, this study offers a theoretical background to the two contemporary streams that are the significant and distinct tendencies of convergence culture: intermedial convergence, its contemporary state and historical tendencies that can be traced back using the past media theoretical approach of the Frankfurt School, and cultural convergence, its contemporary state and historical tendencies, which lineage in a media theoretical context can be traced back to the british ethographic “cultural studies” field. Using contemporary drama serials to identify and pinpoint these two stream, this study shows how intermedial convergence expresses itself today through media conglomeration in terms of branding, product placement and marketing as the result of the “completed” convergence between screen culture and popular music as the current defining state of commodity culture. Using the contemporary british drama serial Doctor Who I examine the processes of meaning making among members of the television series fan culture on the popular video content page youtube.com as expressions of cultural convergence.</p><p>This study argues how the skills and talents developed in the interaction with popular culture and in a process of interaction between fans and participants (collective intelligence and participatory culture), will have an impact on the institutionalized knowledge “from above” and in a collective process will seep over to other fields of expertise. The study also argues, as a consequence of convergence culture, that in the contemporary state of online practices, social networking and in our interactions with digital media content, a mandatory “presence” has been created where we today are defined more through our online selves and these practices, than the ones that used to define us in our “physical” lives: “The medium is no longer just the message, we are living in a state where there is only messages”.</p>

Depuis la fin des années 90, la plupart des animes n'arrivent en Europe qu’en DVD, alors qu’ils ont occupé largement les programmes pour enfants, il y a 30 ans. Rompant avec le circuit marketing habituel qui impose un passage à la télévision avant d'être éditées pour le marché de la vidéo, les animes édités en DVD illustrent une forme de « démédiation » des séries TV. De rendez-vous télévisuels, ils sont "re-conditionnés" en œuvres vendues directement au public pour qu'il les collectionne. Cette thèse étudie la manière dont les publics acceptent d’entrer dans cette logique de collection. L’hypothèse suivie a été celle de la ciné-vidéophilie qui postule une convergence entre des pratiques autrefois distinctes de cinéphiles et de vidéophiles. Cette recherche combine les études de réception et la sociologie des usages, permettant d'éclairer sous cet angle spécifique le développement des stratégies transmédia à l’œuvre dans les industries du divertissement audiovisuel. / Since the end of the 1990’s, most Japanese animated TV series have been arriving in Europe as DVDs, even though they used to be the main content of children TV programs 30 years ago. Breaking away from the usual marketing circuit which usually imposes a television broadcasting of a series before it is edited for the video market, animes on DVD illustrate a form of TV series « demediation ». Through this “repackaging” process, they are turned from regular TV programs into collectibles, directly sold to consumers . This dissertation studies the ways anime publics accept or not this logic of collecting TV series. The hypothesis offered is that of cine-videophilie, based on the premisse of a convergence of formerly distinct cinephile and videophile practices. This research combines reception studies and sociology of technology, thus highlighting under this specific angle some present developments in the transmédia processes at work within the audiovisual entertainment industries.

This universe is not restricted only to literature, it expanded also in other media over almost ninety years, through TV shows, comic books, movies, and other media. In 2011 became available online the portal "Mundo do Sítio", first transmedia project product based on the work of Lobato. Besides the portal, the design transmedia of the "Sítio" also features an animation, social networking pages and a physical themed space located in Mairiporã-SP. The present research attempts to identify how the current transmedia project was developed from a universe already known and how it leverages influences from other adaptations to reintroduce the "Sítio" to a new generation. To do this, we conducted initially a historical survey of all the productions with the brand of the "Sítio", since the publication of the books by Monteiro Lobato, and then, we analyze the portal and identify its main transmedia characteristics and their relationship with the other productions made with the brand. Transmedia design of the "Sítio" uses elements developed in other adaptations of the work of Lobato and continues the expansion of the fictional universe, re-creating your space and encouraging their users to experience a playful way of that universe. With the animation, the story is expanded; presenting new information about the universe without mischaracterize the main characteristics developed by Lobato. Through social networks, users participate actively, both to assess the functioning of the Portal and how to develop productions based on the universe of the "Sítio". Finally, the portal uses features present in the text of Lobato that work effectively in the development of a TransMedia narrative. / Importante autor da literatura infantojuvenil brasileira, Monteiro Lobato criou com seus livros do Sítio do Picapau Amarelo um universo que permanece e influencia o imaginário da população brasileira até hoje. Esse universo não se restringiu apenas à literatura, ele expandiuse também em outras mídias ao longo de quase noventa anos, por meio de seriados televisivos, histórias em quadrinhos, cinema, entre outras mídias. Em 2011, tornou-se disponível o portal online Mundo do Sítio, primeiro produto do projeto transmídia baseado na obra de Lobato. Além do portal, o projeto transmídia do Sítio conta ainda com uma animação, páginas em redes sociais e um espaço temático físico localizado em Mairiporã SP. A presente pesquisa procura identificar como o atual projeto transmídia foi desenvolvido a partir de um universo já conhecido e como ele aproveita influências de outras adaptações para reapresentar o Sítio a uma nova geração. Para isso, realizamos inicialmente um levantamento histórico de todas as produções com a marca do Sítio, desde a publicação dos livros por Monteiro Lobato e, em seguida, analisamos o portal e identificamos suas principais características transmidiáticas e sua relação com as demais produções feitas com a marca. O projeto transmídia do Sítio utiliza elementos desenvolvidos em outras adaptações da obra de Lobato e dá continuidade à expansão do universo ficcional, recriando o seu espaço e estimulando seus usuários a vivenciarem de forma lúdica esse universo. Com a animação, a história é expandida, apresentando informações novas sobre o universo, sem descaracterizar as características principais desenvolvidas por Lobato. Por meio das redes sociais, os usuários participam de forma ativa, tanto para avaliar o funcionamento do Portal quanto para desenvolver produções baseadas no universo do Sítio. Por fim, o portal utiliza-se de características presentes no texto de Lobato que funcionam de forma eficaz no desenvolvimento de uma narrativa transmídia.

The popularization of the use of computers and their post-mass functions has enhanced the ways of telling stories, bringing a communication system apparently horizontal when stories are told in environments that elevate the status of spectator to interactor. In a convergence era, these stories leave behind the narrative in a single media and become counted in a transmedia system, creating a fictional and immersive universe for viewers to interact. On one side you can see behind the scenes, the other side is the public. In the middle, a mirror that blurs fact from fiction. This text intends to resume atheoretical discussionof empirical situations on the concept of transmedia instituted by Henry Jenkins between 2000 and 2011. This discussion appears relevant from the time that new aspects of the concept become popular, and especially while new objects bring strange situations to the phenomenon, such as the national series Alice, produced and aired by HBO Latin America. Alice brings the discussion to production transmedia in Brazil, but highlights a peculiarity: the characters do not only exist on television and in social networks (Orkut, Twitter, Facebook), but also began to inhabit the everyday, the urban space, going to events and creating situations that functioned as unfolding of the events of the episodes, bringing new aspects to the concept of transmedia that Max Giovagnolli (2011) shall call "urban actions”. We question the television as this “mirror”, within this new narrative system and communication functions, and try to understand what new in bringing viewers to the center of this media. / Da oralidade à mediação, as narrativas passaram por momentos de reconfiguração constante. A popularização do uso dos computadores e de suas funções pós-massivas tem possibilitado novas instâncias às formas de se contar histórias, colocando em prática um sistema de comunicação aparentemente horizontal quando histórias são contadas em ambientes que elevam o status de espectador a interator. Em uma situação de convergência, estas histórias deixam para trás a narrativa em uma única mídia e passam a ser contadas de forma transmidiática, criando um universo fictício e imersivo para os espectadores interagirem. De um lado, os bastidores, do outro lado, o público. No meio, um espelho que não permite distinguir realidade de ficção. Este texto pretende retomar uma reflexão teórica através de situações empíricas sobre o conceito que promove estes embaralhamentos, o de narrativa transmidiática, instituído por Henry Jenkins entre 2000 e 2011. Esta discussão se mostra pertinente a partir do momento que novas vertentes do conceito se popularizam e, principalmente, novo objetos trazem situações ainda estranhas ao fenômeno, como a série nacional Alice, produzida e exibida pelo canal HBO Latin America. Alice traz a discussão para a produção nacional transmidiática e destaca uma particularidade: os personagens não só existiam na televisão e nas redes sociais (Orkut, Twitter, Facebook), como também “atravessaram o espelho” e passaram a habitar o cotidiano, indo a eventos e criando situações que funcionavam como desdobramentos dos acontecimentos dos episódios, trazendo novas situações para o conceito de transmídia, que Max Giovagnolli (2011) passa a chamar de “ações urbanas”. Questionamos então a televisão no lugar deste “espelho”, dentro deste novo sistema narrativo e comunicacional e tentamos entender quais funções o novo local de espectadores dentro desta mídia traz para a comunicação.

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo investigar como características que são inerentes à cultura da convergência podem fomentar a leitura literária. Destarte, tencionamos observar como o uso da tecnologia pode complementar e enriquecer a leitura, através de práticas que possibilitem a junção das mídias tradicionais e as mídias atuais, para assim ressignificar os hábitos de leitura dos alunos. Propomos atividades de leitura participativa e intersemiótica com o uso de dispositivos tecnológicos, que favoreçam o gosto pela leitura e o desenvolvimento de competência de compreensão e de produção de textos narrativos. Utilizamos em momentos diferentes da pesquisa, dois questionários para obtermos dados qualitativos em relação às propostas realizadas. Concluímos que as mudanças nas práticas de leitura em sala de aula são vitais, uma vez que as conversões culturais não podem ser dissociadas das transformações educacionais. / The aim of this thesis is to investigate how characteristics which are inherent to the convergence culture can promote literary reading. Thus, we intend to observe how the use of technology can complement and enrich the reading through practices that enable the joining of traditional and current media, reframing the reading habits among students. We propose participatory and intersemiotic reading activities using technological devices in order to encourage the taste for reading and the development of the competence skills of reading comprehension and narrative text production. In different moments of the research, we used two questionnaires to obtain qualitative data on the proposals made. In summary, we conclude that changes in reading practices in the classroom are vital, since cultural conversions cannot be dissociated from the educational transformation.
