In this perspective, that the speech presented in the texts and images of the analyzed publication is part of the Good Neighbor Policy, it can be disclosed in the debate around the representation transmited and the internal influences that build it. The investigation arrises from the observation of the 48 editions of Em Guarda, the magazine published between 1941 and 1945, by the Office of the Coordinatior of Inter American Affairs. Starting from a quantitative analysis, in which it was identified the relapses, some of the editions were picked, based on the soldiers thematic, and the texts and imagens were put under a qualitative analysis. Understanding that this soldiers were presented as Heros-Citizen-Soldiers, the work focused on the debate of this concept, from the founding myth of being americans, and as a reference to the image of the cowboy. By this measures, its possible to understand some process and intentions of the americanization of the continent / Esta pesquisa se propõe a analisar a representação dos soldados americanos como a imagem de indivíduo modelar para os latino-americanos. Dentro da perspectiva de que o discurso apresentado na publicação analisada, tanto das imagens como dos textos, é parte da Política de Boa Vizinhança, pode-se desdobrar sobre a representação transmitida e as influências internas que a construíram. A problematização surge a partir observação das 48 edições da revista Em Guarda, produzida entre 1941 e 1945, pelo Office of the Coordinator of Inter American Affairs. A partir de uma análise quantitativa, na qual foram identificadas as reincidências, realizou-se uma seleção e uma análise qualitativa das imagens e textos então categorizados como parte da temática do soldado. Compreendendo que esses soldados são apresentados como Heróis-Soldados-Cidadãos, passou-se a trabalhar com o conceito, retomando questões desde os mitos fundadores do ser americano, se centrando na imagem do cowboy. Possibilita-se assim a compreensão de alguns pontos dos processos e das intenções da americanização por todo o continente

Au début du vingtième siècle, un nouveau média à la mesure de l’Amérique voit le jour : le cinéma. Forme d’expression visuelle nouvelle, divertissement populaire égalitaire, véhicule privilégié du modèle américain dans le pays et à l’étranger, le cinéma s’affirme, dès ses premières années d’existence, comme un acteur majeur de l’américanisation du monde. Un de ses thèmes de prédilections est l’espace américain, et par extension ses paysages, qui ravit et fascine les spectateurs d’un bout à l’autre de la planète. Les mises en scène du territoire national et de sa géographie spécifique sont complexes car elles intègrent des éléments réalistes et une dimension imaginaire. Cette représentation polymorphe des États-Unis permet de promouvoir les valeurs américaines dans une société internationale moderne, transformée par l’essor de l’urbanisation et de l’industrialisation. L’Amérique filmique, élaborée par l’industrie cinématographique des premières décennies, offre des repères à un spectateur quelque peu perdu dans le nouvel ordre du monde se dessinant alors. / At the dawn of the twentieth century, a new media, in tune with American goals, was born: the motion pictures. It was a new kind of visual expression, an egalitarian form of popular entertainment and the best vehicle to convey the American way of life in the US and abroad. Therefore, cinema became, from its inception, a key participant in the Americanization of the world. One of its favorite topics was American space and its landscapes, which pleased and amazed movie-goers around the world. The way in which national territory and its specific geography were staged in films was complex because it intertwined realistic elements and a mythical dimension. That kaleidoscopic representation of the United States enabled the promotion of American values in a modern international society, transformed by the rise of urbanization and industrialization. Cinematic America, as it was created by the early motion pictures industry, offered landmarks to the spectator, somewhat lost in the emerging new world order.

Qu’il s’agisse d’une signature monochrome ("tag"), de lettres rondes à deux couleurs ("throw-up") ou d’un enchevêtrement calligraphique multicolore ("piece"), les formes caractéristiques du graffiti hip-hop font aujourd’hui partie du paysage urbain des grandes villes du monde. Né aux États-Unis dans les années 1960 et diffusé à l’extérieur des frontières américaines dans les années 1980, le graffiti hip-hop peut être perçu comme un exemple à la fois de l’américanisation et de l’homogénéisation des pratiques culturelles des jeunes à travers le monde. À partir d'une comparaison entre des graffiteurs francophones de Montréal et des graffiteurs lusophones de São Paulo, cette thèse décrit le processus d'appropriation d'un mouvement culturel d’origine américaine et montre les similitudes et les différences retrouvées au niveau local de cette forme d'expression mondialisée. L’étude de l’appropriation culturelle proposée dans cette thèse se compose de deux niveaux d’analyse. Le premier – qualifié de micro – touche le domaine personnel et se penche sur le processus de production de graffitis de style hip-hop (type de graffitis d’origine new-yorkaise basé sur l’écriture de pseudonymes). Ce niveau d’analyse me permet de démontrer comment les mécanismes de l’imitation et de la transformation se mélangent et renvoient aux processus de l’apprentissage et de l’inventivité individuels. Pour l’analyse du second niveau – qualifié de macro –, je tiens compte de l’ensemble des forces qui, au plan de la collectivité, forge l’appropriation. Ceci me permet de tracer des liens causaux entre les particularités locales du graffiti hip-hop et certains paramètres relevant du politique, de l’économique, de l’histoire et du culturel. / I propose to examine the local appropriation of hip-hop graffiti, a transnational youth expression, that originated in the East-Coast of the United States, through a micro and a macro perspective applied to a multi-site ethnography of hip-hop graffiti in two cities of the Americas, Montreal (Canada) and São Paulo (Brazil), among, respectively, French and Portuguese speaking graffiti artists. The micro level analysis will focus on the creative process by which graffiti artists combine imitation and transformation; and the macro perspective will bring into relief the complex ensemble of dimensions which influences the appropriation process in a given locality. Based on this double-leveled analysis, I shall 1) describe the similarities and differences between the hip-hop graffiti scene in Montreal and São Paulo; 2) identify key elements of the process of cultural appropriation; and 3) reexamine the notion that globalization results in cultural homogenization.

This study examines the progress of young adult (YA) literature in the twenty-first century, as influenced by Web 2.0 social networking technology and sliding structural temporalities of age and maturity in these digital times. The context is Stephenie Meyer’s popular Twilight saga, a pioneering example of an author purposefully engaging with online social networking communities and there encouraging derivative creativity, including Twilight fan fiction. This successful integration of YA literature with Web 2.0 is considered by first appraising tensions between traditional theoretical notions of the genre (and its readers) and contemporary manifestations of the same. Second is an investigation of the genre’s evolving readership and textual practices using the Twilight series, focusing on literary activities of Digital Natives (young adults) in online social arenas. A concentration on the integration of national identity into Canadian Twilight fan fiction examines such evolving practices in reference to an American product (a threat of Americanization) being re-coded in a Canadian reader’s personal, public and online spaces.
