Orientador: Fabrício Gallo / Resumo: O objetivo dessa pesquisa é analisar o uso do território pelo Estado através do Banco Postal. As transformações sociais, políticas e econômicas ao longo do século XX, aliadas ao aumento de seus fluxos materiais e informacionais permitiram às modificações técnicas dos Correios e dos Bancos, possibilitando a franca expansão dos serviços bancários e financeiros no território brasileiro. Dada sua natureza empresarial, esses agentes implementam um uso corporativo do território buscando vantagens lucrativas, ação essa efetivada por meio de uma solidariedade organizacional entre o Estado e empresas, uma vez que o Estado detém o monopólio das normas territoriais. Daí os serviços financeiros constituírem a variável particular dos Correios e do setor bancário nos anos 2000, pois aliam interesses públicos e privados na ampliação da mais-valia. O uso, e a crescente expansão, das tecnologias de informação e comunicação está modificando a estrutura técnica e jurídica dessas empresas ao mesmo tempo que modificam o território. / Abstract: This research aims to analyze the use of the Brazilian territory by the State through the Banco Postal. The social, political and economical changes throughout the twentieth century, along with the increase of the material and informational flows, have allowed technical modifications in the Correios and in the banks enabling the great expansion of the financial and bank services in Brazilian territory. Given their entrepreneurial nature, these agents implement a business use of territory searching for lucrative advantages. This action is effectuated through an organizational solidarity between the State and companies, as the State holds the monopoly over the territorial norms. That’s why financial services constitute the particular variable of the Correios and the banking sector in the 2000s, as they join the public and private interests aiming the amplification of the added value. The use and the continuous expansion of the communication and information technologies have modified both the technical and juridical structures from these companies, at the same as time as provoking changes in the territory. / Mestre

Little significance has been given to the important role played by journalism during the previous trial to the Chilean’s War Declaratory against Peru and Bolivia. In the same way to the journalists, the war stringer who were sent by the newspapers with the aim of covering warlike events including naval procedures. Among them, there were four journalists who kept their readers updated with the most patriotic and shocking columns. For instance, we must never forget names like Del Campo, Neto, Reyes and Horta. / Poca atención se ha dado al importante papel que tuvo el periodismo en el proceso previo a la declaratoria de guerra por Chile contra el Perú y Bolivia. Igualmente a los periodistas, a los corresponsales de guerra que los diarios enviaron para cubrir los eventos bélicos, incluyendo las acciones navales. Entre estos destacaron cuatro que mantuvieron informados a sus lectores con crónicas patrióticas y dramáticas, de mucha emoción: Del Campo, Neto, Reyes y Horta son nombres que debemos recordar.

The process of democratization which appeared in the nineteenth century was partly responsible for the emergence of a mass readership. It consisted of the new urban population which had its own tastes and interests, intellectual capacity and purchasing power. The popular press was firmly established by 1900 and it radically altered the scope and style of daily journalism in its attempt to speak in the language of the majority. Philip Gibbs was one of the prominent journalists between 1900 and 1914. His aspiration to become a war correspondent stemmed from the image of the war correspondent as a figure of romance and adventure, the consequence of the militarist spirit of the age and the licence which granted him freedom of movement. Inevitably, the war correspondent carne in conflict with the military which had not kept pace with democratization and sensed a challenge to itself and to national security. Censorship and restrictions on the war correspondent tightened, until major army reforms between 1901 and 1912 brought more cordial relations between the press and the military. When the Great War broke out in 1914 the co-operative atmosphere broke down as censorship was reinstated, more severely than before. It challenged the freedom of the press and the right of the people to know. Gibbs was determined that the people should have access to news from the front. He fought hard for that objective and was instrumental in the compromise reached between the military and the press when an officially recognized system was devised for press representation on the Western Front. The wisdom of such a move was shown by the success of Philip Gibbs' war correspondence, which had appeal to a mass readership in its own language and with subjects of interest to it.

Thesis (MA)--Macquarie University (Division of Society, Culture, Media & Philosophy, Dept. of Media and Communications), 2006. / Bibliography: leaves 176-188. / Precursors -- An imperfect war -- Interregnum -- The perfect war -- Conclusions. / This thesis explores how war reporting on Australian television has been dramatically reshaped over the last 40 years, particularly by new technologies. Specifically, it seeks to answer these questions: 1. How did differing cultural, social, political and professional contexts, available technology and battlefield experience affect the attitudes, editorial content and narrative forms of two generations of television correspondents - in Vietnam and Iraq respectively? 2. How did technological and other industry changes over the 30 years between Vietnam and Iraq reshape the power relationship between the war correspondent in the field and his news producers and managers? What impact did these changes have on the resulting screened coverage? What are the longer-term implications for journalism and for audiences? / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / 192 leaves ill.

Objetivo: Artigos jornalísticos publicados no diário norte-americano The New York Times por Larry Rohter, seu correspondente no Brasil, tomam como base uma gama de imagens e expectativas sobre o país que seu público possa ter e reconhecer como válidas. Esta pesquisa procura identificar as estratégias textuais adotadas por Rohter para reproduzir, alterar, questionar, negar ou criar representações brasileiras. Métodos: Por meio da análise de discurso crítica, são avaliados os mecanismos de tradução de conceitos próprios do Brasil para um público estrangeiro, a partir de conhecimentos básicos compartilhados e aproximações por analogia com similares norte-americanos. Também é analisada a influência e o reforço de imagens brasileiras esperadas e das expectativas sobre medidas a serem tomadas no campo econômico e político do país. Resultados: Ainda que as narrativas das reportagens partam de imagens brasileiras estereotipadas, quebram-se as expectativas pela eclosão de eventos desviantes, que rompem com o que é esperado pelo público. O desequilíbrio estabelecido por Rohter aumenta o interesse em notícias menos urgentes; essa estratégia não é tão necessária em situações marcadamente conflituosas, que representam desvios na ordem social naturalmente pressupostos nos textos. / Objective: Journalistic articles published in the The New York Times, by Larry Rohter, the newspapers correspondent in Brazil, are based on a full range of impressions and notions regarding the country that his readers might have and might recognize as valid. This study seeks to identify the textual strategies followed by Rohter to reproduce, change, question, deny, or create Brazilian descriptions. Methods: By means of critical discourse analysis, mechanisms for translating concepts peculiar to Brazil for foreign understanding are evaluated, taken from basic shared knowledge and analogies with similar American concepts. The influence and reinforcement of anticipated Brazilian imagery and speculations regarding measures to be taken in the economic and political areas of the country are also analyzed. Results: Even though the storylines call up stereotypical images of Brazil, presuppositions are disrupted by distracting events that emerge and break with what is expected. The imbalance established by Rohter ends up increasing reader interest in less urgent news items, but this strategy is not as necessary in situations that are obviously conflicting, and that represent deviations in the social order, which are naturally presumed in the texts.
