Inicialmente, discute a questão da mediação e da noção de "meio" utilizada nas teorias e políticas da comunicação tradicionais, valendo-se, em partes, da Crítica da Comunicação de Luicen Sfez, 1994. Enfatiza o caráter pragmático da materialidade tecnológica que condiciona os enunciados midiáticos e, inclusive, dos textos técnicos legais que regulamentam a prática de difusão no Brasil. A partir da marcação dos domínios de Legalidade, também estão marcados os lugares de enunciação, criando-se situações políticas nas quais a linguagem é atuante. Faço uma análise de dois diferentes corpos enunciativos/ midiáticos: as grandes redes autorizadas vs.as pequenas emissoras desautorizadas. Questões como Escritura Midiática, Corpos Tecnológicos e Micropolítica também são discutidas, tendo como base textos de Jaques Derrida, Félix Guattari, Judith Butler, entre outros. / Abstract: This work proposes a discussion about mediation and the notion of medium used on traditional theories and policies. It takes the Critical of Communication of Lucien Sfez (1994) as a reference. We emphasize the technological materiality and pragmatic of enunciation on the media and legal discourses that regulates the broadcasting in Brazil. When spaces of legality are marked, the spaces of the enunciation are marked too, creating political situations where language has a force. I made an analysis of two different broadcast bodies: the big enterprises authorized vs. little unauthorized television. Problems like écriture in Media, technological bodies and micro politics are discussed based on Jacques Derrida, Felix Guattari, Judith Butler texts and others. / Mestrado / Mestre em Linguística

In my thesis I focus on analysing the representations and images in historical digital games. I base my thesis upon methods and works from the game studies field. Those texts research games based on principles of mechanics and rules, narrative, aesthetics, and simulation. All those aspects of games come under my analysis of chosen set of digital games. I connect this methodology with theory of history, which focuses on means of historical representation and ways of construction of the historical image, just as it notes role of historians and history in nowadays society. Further I build upon work of Jean Beadrillard on simulation and simulacra, who takes on the topic of production of images in our culture. I confront my analysis with work of Adam Chapman Digital Games as History, which offers me not only a basic terminology but also serves me as an inspiration for comparison of the games' images with the historians' epistemology. My thesis results in comparison and attempted junction of the methods of game studies with those of historiography on the material of digital games. Apart from deeper analysis of selected games I come to more general conclusions, which could in my opinion, add to further analysis of the past and its digital representations, just as they could help to think through the role...
