Nas últimas décadas, a informatização das redações de jornais e o desenvolvimento de softwares gráficos possibilitaram a consolidação do uso da infografia como ferramenta auxiliar na transmissão da notícia nos jornais impressos diários. A prática editorial do infojornalismo integra textos verbais com diferentes expressões não verbais, tais como ilustrações, mapas, gráficos, tabelas, fotografias, entre outros. Partindo da noção de texto como mecanismo semiótico gerador de sentidos, analisamos oito textos infográficos em três coberturas noticiosas extraídas do jornal Folha de S.Paulo, com o objetivo de apontar formas de estruturação das infografias e as decorrências dessa modelização na formação de sentidos. Com base na observação do corpus, identificamos como o infojornalismo incorpora e adapta recursos externos ao jornalismo e distinguimos fluxos de significações possíveis no diálogo que o texto infográfico estabelece com os demais textos da página do jornal. Esses elementos nos permitiram relacionar as funções básicas que a infografia pode cumprir no jornal impresso. / For the last decades, the informatization of newspaper publishing, as well as the development of desk top publishing software, have made it possible to consolidate the application of infographics as an ancillary tool to news transmission on daily printed periodicals. The publishing practices of infojournalism integrate verbal texts with different non-verbal expressions, such as illustrations, maps, charts, tables, pictures, among others. Departing from the concept of text as a semiotic mechanism generating senses, we have analyzed eight infographic texts in three news coverages taken out from the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, for the purpose of pointing at structuring formats of infographics, and such modeling implications on the formation of senses. Based on the observation of the corpus, we have identified how infojournalism incorporates and adapts external resources into journalism, and have distinguished possible signifying flows in the dialogue that an infographic text establishes with the other texts on a newspaper page. These elements have allowed us to establish the relations of the basic roles that infographics may play in a printed newspaper.

The two fields of acousmatic music and site-specific conceptual art take strikingly different approaches to the notions of space and place. In this document, I describe how these two areas of aesthetic research diverge and relate to each other, focusing on how their unique approaches can be implemented in the practice of site-specific music composition. The first part of this document surveys the distinctive features of each of these fields, describing the particular differences between them in their approach to space and place. The contradictions between the two approaches are then briefly analyzed in reference to Georgina Born's understanding of music as fundamentally multitextual. In the second part of the document, I describe in detail how I implemented a site-specific approach when composing "…threaded through," a 16-channel audio, 6 video, site-specific installation for the UNT College of Music Main Building. In this, I describe how both the space and place of the UNT College of Music Main Building influenced my musical choices, visual content, and approach to audio and visual spatialization. The final part of the document contains a detailed score for realizing "…threaded through" in the location of the UNT College of Music Main Building.
