Ao longo dos capítulos, dentre teorias e análises, buscamos denotar como a imprensa alternativa pode contribuir para facilitar a compreensão da informação econômica e deixá-la ao entendimento não só de pessoas envolvidas no universo econômico, como também àqueles leitores que não estão familiarizados com os jargões do jornalismo econômico. Mediante ao exposto, vimos no semanário Bundas, periódico considerado alternativo e que circulou no final dos anos de 1990, um meio que facilitou a leitura dos textos sobre economia. Partindo de um estudo textual, inspirado na Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin, o intuito do trabalho é mostrar que é possível realizar a prática do jornalismo econômico sob o ponto de vista alternativo, evidenciando que esses podem levar informação ao público leitor de maneira muito mais atrativa e compreensível do que os grandes veículos impressos / Abstract: This dissertation analyzes the ways of exercising economic journalism, aiming to show how this can become understandable to any readership. Throughout the chapters, among theories and analyzes, seek denote as the alternative media can help facilitate economic understanding information and leave it to the understanding not only of people involved in the economic universe, as well as those readers who are unfamiliar with the jargon economic journalism. By the above, we have seen in the weekly Bundas, considered alternate periodic and circulated in the late 1990s, a medium that facilitated the reading of the texts on economics. Starding from a textual study, inspired by the Content Analysis Bardin, the aim of the paper is to show that it is possible to perform the practice of economic journalism under the alternative point of view, showing that these can bring information to the public in a much more attractive way player and understandable than the big print media / Mestre

Procuramos neste trabalho tratar o carnaval e o humor no Rio de Janeiro, através da ótica difundida pelas revistas ilustradas Fon-Fon! e Careta, através de textos e ilustrações elaboradas por grandes nomes da caricatura e da literatura e de jornalistas que ficaram no anonimato por conta de suas crônicas e artigos não conterem assinaturas. Através destas publicações, é possível perceber a importância do carnaval na vida destes homens de letras e pincéis e quão importante foi a contrapartida que eles forneceram não apenas ao público leitor, mas a nós historiadores, pois é possível resgatar e reconstruir através destas publicações não apenas a história do carnaval, mas também compreender o contexto do período, os problemas políticos, a moda, as inovações e mudanças na vida da população carioca. É possível também entender o quanto era importante o carnaval e o humor , não apenas para a saúde financeira das empresas jornalísticas e editoriais, pois a abordagem e o tema agradavam o público leitor, mas principalmente na vida destes escritores e artistas, que não apenas escreviam sobre esta festa de forma irreverente, mas participavam ativamente dela como foliões e portanto, eles mesmos eram também artífices desta história. / This work analyzes carnival in Rio de Janeiro through the irreverent view disclosed by the illustrated magazines Fon-Fon! and Careta. For such purpose, texts and illustrations elaborated by great names in caricature and literature were used, as well as by journalists who remained anonymous due to the fact that their chronicles and articles did not carry their signatures. The way in which carnival was dealt with in said publications, was intimately related to the world view which intellectuals enjoyed, the Belle Epoque, and to the readers of these magazines: the urban middle classes and part of the elite. To understand both the view and the type of humoristic approach used, songs and the works of chronicle writers, memorialists and historians who worked on the theme were also investigated. At the end, what could be verified through the study of these publications was the importance that carnival enjoyed in the lives of those men of letters and brushes, and how relevant was the counterpart which they made possible not only to readers, but also to us, historians. Through these publications, it is possible to redeem and reconstruct part of the history of carnival as well as understand the context of the period, political problems, stylishness, innovations and changes in the lives of Rio de Janeiro (carioca) dwellers. So much attention to the theme from the illustrated press denotes the importance of carnival to the financial health of newspaper companies, since the subject and its well-humored approach pleased readers, besides showing that not only did those writers and artists write about the festivities in an irreverent manner, but they also actively participated in them as carnival merrymakers, and therefore they were, themselves, artificers of that history.

O Catatau foi escrito entre 1966 e 1975, período em que o Brasil estava sob uma hedionda ditadura militar. No mesmo período, a cultura do país vivia um de seus momentos mais ricos e intensos, oferecendo aos brasileiros manifestações como a Tropicália, o Cinema Novo, o Teatro Oficina, o Cinema Marginal etc. Nosso trabalho pretende demonstrar como o Catatau se situa nesse contexto histórico e, principalmente, como produz uma crítica política ao regime de exceção. Devido a esse posicionamento crítico diante do poder autoritário, acreditamos que o Catatau pode ser considerado um romance de protesto e não apenas uma obra experimental ou de vanguarda, como usualmente o livro de Leminski é abordado. Porém, diferentemente dos outros romances de protesto escritos no período chamado pós-64, o Catatau se caracteriza por sua linguagem barroca e pela filiação à longa tradição da literatura carnavalizada. Utilizamos como suporte teórico para a análise do barroco principalmente o trabalho de Severo Sarduy. E para a análise da carnavalização adotamos especialmente os conceitos de Mikhail Bakhtin apresentados nas obras Problemas da poética de Dostoiévski e A cultura popular na Idade Média e no Renascimento: o contexto de François Rabelais e também o importante livro de Enylton de Sá Rego, O calundu e a panaceia, no qual o autor estuda as relações entre a obra machadiana e a sátira menipeia. / Catatau was written between 1966 and 1975, a period when Brazil was under a hideous military dictatorship. In the same period, the Brazilian culture lived one of its richest and most intense moments, producing manifestations as Tropicália, Cinema Novo, Teatro Oficina, Cinema Marginal etc. Our work aims to demonstrate how Catatau is situated in that historical context and especially how it produces a political critique of the authoritarian regime. Due its critical position on the authoritarian power, we believe Catatau may be considered a \"novel of protest\" and not just an experimental or avant-garde work, as usually Catatau is considered. However, unlike the other \"novels of protest\" written during the period called \"post-64\", Catatau is characterized by its baroque language and its affiliation with the long tradition of carnivalized literature. The theoretical support for the analysis of the baroque is mainly the work of Severo Sarduy. And to the analysis of carnivalization we adopted especially the concepts of Mikhail Bakhtin presented in the books Problems of Dostoevsky\'s poetics and François Rabelais and Popular culture in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and also the important work of Enylton de Sá Rego, O calundu e a panaceia, in which the author studies the relationships between Machado de Assis\'s work and the menippean satire.

Em determinado período de sua história, o Charlie Hebdo passou a abordar o tema do fundamentalismo islâmico em suas charges. A figura sagrada para os muçulmanos foi, então, representada satiricamente em diversas edições, até que em 7 de janeiro de 2015, após uma série de conflitos entre o jornal e os extremistas islâmicos, a sede do semanário francês foi alvo de um ataque terrorista, com doze vítimas fatais. É para esse contexto que nossa pesquisa direciona a sua atenção. Analisaremos um conjunto de oito charges publicadas pelo Charlie Hebdo no período de 8 de fevereiro de 2006 a 6 de janeiro de 2016. O propósito, ao examinar semioticamente esse corpus, é descrever os mecanismos de construção do sentido das charges para compreender de que maneira o chargista, como um éthos ou um modo polemizador de presença, exacerbou satiricamente a doutrina islâmica e a figura religiosa emblemática para provocar o riso e criticar o fundamentalismo. Em nossa pesquisa, a noção de gênero será incorporada com o apoio teórico de Bakthin (2003; 2008; 2010; 2014; 2016), o que permitirá reconhecer as principais características da charge, conforme determinada temática, composição e estilo. Também a partir dos apontamentos bakhtinianos, definiremos mecanismos discursivos presentes nas charges: ironia, humor, sátira e polêmica. Dessa definição, surgirão os elementos que despontam as características do gênero e, consequentemente, o estilo Charlie Hebdo de satirizar. Com base nesse ponto, esperamos compreender o que teria força argumentativa para provocar a ira dos fundamentalistas. Em nosso estudo, buscaremos expor, sobretudo, os princípios relativos à semiótica greimasiana. Consideraremos, portanto, para nossa investigação as bases da semiótica narrativa e discursiva (GREIMAS; COURTÉS, 2016). Mas teremos o respaldo ainda da semiótica visual (FLOCH, 1985; 1986a; 1986b; 2013), com o intuito de entender como a forma do plano da expressão e do plano do conteúdo, conforme postulada por Hjelmslev (2003), vai ao encontro da substância da expressão e do conteúdo nesses textos verbo-visuais. Ao tomar corpo, nossa pesquisa encontrará apoio teórico e metodológico também na semiótica tensiva (ZILBERBERG, 2011). Nesse ponto, mostraremos os segmentos das charges que fazem crescer a intensidade da voz satírica e o seu potencial para causar atritos com o sujeito fundamentalista. Os resultados demonstrarão que a voz satírica do Charlie Hebdo é construída essencialmente por meio da presença exacerbada do outro, cujos valores julgados negativos são intensamente expostos. O alvo da crítica, o fundamentalismo islâmico, é assim desmoralizado por suas próprias atitudes. Essa forma de fazer sátira remete ao modelo de construção do gênero charge; entretanto, o que parece diferenciar o conteúdo das charges analisadas é a instalação da relação dialógica (BAKHTIN, 2016) entre sujeitos extremamente antagônicos, com intensa probabilidade de conflito nos (des)encontros das enunciações interdiscursivas. / At some point in its history, Charlie Hebdo began to address the theme of Islamic fundamentalism in its cartoons. Since then, the holy image for Muslims was satirically represented in several editions. It had happened up to January 7, 2015, when, after a series of misunderstandings between the newspaper and Islamic extremists, the headquarters of the French weekly newspaper was the target of a terrorist attack, having as consequence, twelve fatal victims. It is in this context that our research is directed. We will analyze a set of eight cartoons published by Charlie Hebdo in the period from February 8, 2006 to January 6, 2016. The purpose in examining semiotically this corpus, is to describe the mechanisms of construction of the meaning of the cartoons to understand how the cartoonist, as an ethos or a polemizing mode of presence, satirically exaggerated Islamic doctrine and the emblematic religious image to provoke laughter and criticize fundamentalism. In our research, the notion of genres will be incorporated with the theoretical support of Bakthin (2003; 2008; 2010; 2014; 2016), which will allow us to recognize the main characteristics of the cartoon, according to a specific theme, composition and style. Also from the Bakhtinian notes, we will define discursive mechanisms present in the cartoons: irony, humor, satire and polemic. From this definition, the elements that emerge the characteristics of the genre and, consequently, the Charlie Hebdo style of satirizing will appear. Based on this, we aim to understand what could have an argumentative force to provoke the wrath of fundamentalists. In our study, we will try to expose, above all, the principles related to greimasian semiotics. We will therefore consider for our investigation the bases of narrative and discursive semiotics (GREIMAS and COURTÉS, 2016). But we will still have the support of visual semiotics (FLOCH 1985, 1986a, 1986b, 2013), in order to understand how the form of the plane of expression and the content plane, as postulated by Hjelmslev (2003), meets the substance of expression and content in these verbal-visual texts. Whereas the development of these points brings consistence to our research, we will also find theoretical and methodological support in the tensive semiotics (ZILBERBERG, 2011). At this point, we will show the segments of the cartoons that increase the intensity of the satirical voice and its potential to cause friction with the fundamentalist subject. The results will demonstrate that Charlie Hebdo\'s satirical voice is essentially built through the exacerbated presence of the other, whose negatively judged values are intensely exposed. The target of criticism, Islamic fundamentalism, is thus demoralized by its own attitudes. This way of doing satire refers to the construction model of the genre \"cartoon\"; However, what seems to distinguish the content of the analyzed cartoons is the establishment of the dialogical relationship (BAKHTIN, 2016) between extremely antagonistic subjects, with an intense probability of conflict in the (dis) encounters of interdiscursive enunciation.

The aim of this work is to map fake Czech profiles on social network Facebook and Twitter. "Fake profiles" in this case mean those where authors are acting as a well-known person, company or institution. The authors mostly found these to entertain themselves and readers. They use satire, parody, and often sarcasm as well. After a general introduction to the topic, which includes, among other things, the introduction of social networks, including the regulation they take for the protection of personality, the main part follows. It analyzes 8 different Czech false profiles. The content of the posts, the account statistics, the most successful posts and possibly other related information are presented. An important part of the work are interviews with authors of these profiles as well as with counterparts, real people or companies. This offers a close look at the backstage of the creation and running of the profile and, on the other hand, the possibility to ascertain the reaction of the concerned party. The next section was included in order to bring a wider view of the issue. It is devoted to similar profiles abroad, which gives the possibility of comparison of the local and international environment. The thesis ends with a chapter devoted to the situations when the content of false profiles is used...

Points of Contention, an MFA exhibit, features fifteen works of relief-printed images from carved linoleum and layers of type printed with antique letterpress wood type. The work constitutes a visual exploration of dissatisfaction and disenchantment presented through the context of odd stories in the news and major current events, such as election politics and the closing of Hostess bakeries, as well as, NSA data collection and gun violence. This supporting thesis explores the conceptual and physical processes of creating the pieces, including researching other artists who have wrestled with similar topics and produced their own unique reaction and resolution through art. The paper also discusses the technical and mechanical side of the artistic process, especially the anachronistic attraction to the methods of letterpress and printmaking in a digital age. Finally, this thesis chronicles the artist’s sources of inspiration from cartoon monsters and brand mascots during childhood to letterpress printmaking.

Love Languages and Other Stories is a collection of three short stories all pertaining, in someway, to love (or lack thereof). "This is What a Feminist Look Like," "Sink," and "Love Languages" are the three stories that make up this Scripps senior thesis.

Abstract not available

This study arose out of what I saw as a gap in the criticism of Patrick White's fiction in which satire and its related subversive forms are largely overlooked. It consequently reads five of White's post-1948 novels from the standpoint of satire. It discusses the history and various theories of satire to develop an analytic framework appropriate to his satire and it conducts a comprehensive review of the critical literature to account for the development of the dominant orthodox religious approach to his fiction. It compares aspects of White's satire to aspects of the satire produced by some of the notable exemplars of the English and American traditions and it takes issue with a number of the readings produced by the religious and other established approaches to White's fiction. I initially establish White as a satirist by elaborating the social satire that emerges incidentally in The Tree of Man and rather more episodically in Voss. I investigate White's sources for Voss to shed light on the extent of his engagement with history, on his commitment to historical accuracy, and on the extent to which this is a serious high-minded historical work in which he seeks to teach us more about our selves, particularly about our history and identity. The way White expands his satire in Voss given that it is an eminently historical novel is instructive in terms of his purposes. I illustrate White's burgeoning use of satire by elaborating the extended and sometimes extravagant satire that he develops in Riders in the Chariot, by investigating the turn inwards upon his own creative activity that occurs when he experiments with a variant subversive form, satire by parody, in The Eye of the Storm, and by examining his use of the devices, tropes, and strategies of post-modem grotesque satire in The Twyborn Affair. My reading of White's novels from the standpoint of satire enables me to identify an important development within his oeuvre that involves a shift away from the symbolic realism of The Aunt's Story (1948) and the two novels that precede it to a mode of writing that is initially historical in The Tree of Man and Voss but which becomes increasingly satirical as White expands his satire and experiments with such related forms as burlesque, parody, parodic satire, and grotesque satire in his subsequent novels. I thus chart a change in the nature of his satire that reflects a dramatic movement away from the ontological concerns of modernism to the epistemological concerns of post-modernism. Consequent upon this, I pinpoint the changes in the philosophy that his satire bears as its ultimate meaning. I examine the links between the five novels and White's own period to establish the socio-historical referentiality of his satire. I argue that because his engagement with Australian history, society, and culture, is ongoing and thorough, then these five novels together comprise a subjective history of the period, serving to complement our knowledge in these areas. This study demonstrates that White's writing, because of the ongoing development of his satire, is never static but ever-changing. He is not simply or exclusively a religious or otherwise metaphysical novelist, or a symbolist-allegorist, or a psychological realist, or any other kind of generic writer. Finally, I demonstrate that White exceeds the categories that his critics have tried to impose upon him.

This study presents an attempt to understand the political and aesthetic relationship between two of Modernism’s most enigmatic authors, Wyndham Lewis and Ford Madox Ford by examining their novelistic practice in light of their writings on politics and social criticism. A close look at the use of ironic distance, a hallmark feature in our understanding of modernist fiction, in Tarr (1918) and The Good Soldier (1915) reveals both authors conscious effort to distance themselves from their novel’s subjects, Fredric Tarr and John Dowell respectively. In light of both novels’ satirical element, a scathing attack on bourgeois narcissism caused by the wealthier class’ persistent attempts to identify with hollow and self serving social roles through the sham-aristocratic prestige created by England’s pre-war commodity culture, and the fact that both Fredric Tarr and John Dowell are artist figures that somehow resemble their creators, this project reinterprets Ford and Lewis’ ironic distance as an instance of self-distanciation. From this we can infer that both Ford and Lewis were invested in the modernist idea of impersonality, not just as a artistic or literary technique, but as the artist’s only means of escaping the narcissistic and slothful trap of modern subjectivity, and that, along with the production of modernist art, they saw a continual self-effacement as the price of authenticity, therefore inspiring in them the conviction to live as “uncelebrated stylists.”
