With suicide on the rise nationwide, it is important now more than ever to prioritize suicide as a public health issue. This means raising awareness and conducting research aimed at developing new suicide prevention tools and strategies, as well as reevaluating and challenging already existent ones. Media messaging can be a great suicide prevention tool. Suicide depictions and reporting in different forms of media—including newspapers, online publications, film, television, and more—have the power to influence behavior. When reporting in a safe and appropriate manner, the media can influence behavior in a positive way and encourage help-seeking. However, reports that sensationalize and glamorize suicide have the potential to spark suicide contagion. Thus, when reporting on suicide it is crucial to be aware of best practices and recommendations developed by experts. In recent years, media campaigns aimed at suicide prevention have gained traction. While there has been some evidence suggesting the success of such campaigns, more research is needed in this area. Further research is also needed to assess the effects of fictional depictions of suicide in film and television.

[pt] O objetivo desta dissertação é investigar o entretenimento e seus diferentes suportes midiáticos, tomando como objeto de estudo o fenômeno de proliferação de narrativas sobre a Casa de Detenção de São Paulo, o presídio do Carandiru. Desde 2 de outubro de 1992, data do massacre de 111 detentos pela Polícia Militar, até os dias de hoje, a memória do complexo penitenciário foi operacionalizada e mercadorizada como uma fonte infinita de histórias a serem vendidas em um mercado cultural acolhedor e de grande audiência. O Carandiru, seu mundo desconhecido e misterioso, bem como as experiências de vida dos detentos que nele habitaram foram transformados em produtos de consumo capazes de gerar não apenas um estrondoso sucesso comercial, mas, também, a possibilidade de variação dos bens culturais sobre a prisão em inúmeros formatos, trabalhados e configurados, nos mais distintos setores da indústria e do comércio, como o editorial, o cinematográfico, o televisivo, o fonográfico, o radiofônico, o fotográfico, o jornalístico, o turístico e o das artes plásticas e cênicas. Diante deste contexto, estudamos os múltiplos modos de apropriação da memória da cadeia e dos seus presos, assim como os deslizamentos do livro Estação Carandiru, de Drauzio Varella, por diferentes suportes, entre eles o cinema e a TV, num esforço para compreender como o fascínio pelo crime, o trauma dessa trágica memória e a lucrativa cultura de massas se entrelaçaram em uma intrigante trama midiática. / [en] The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the entertainment and its different mediatics supports, concerning the phenomenon of proliferation of narratives about The House of Detention of São Paulo, the prison called Carandiru. From October 2, 1992, the date of the massacre of 111 prisoners by the Military Police, until these days, the memory of the penitentiary complex has been operated and commercialized as an infinite source of stories to be sold in a welcomed and in a vast audience cultural market. The Carandiru, its unknown and mysterious world, as well as the prisioner´s life- experience experience who inhabited there were transformed in a consumption segment which has been able to generate not only a huge commercial success, but also the possibility of variation of the cultural products concerning the prison in uncountable forms, all of them configured and performed in the most distinct industrial and commercial sectors, as the editorial, the cinematographic, the televisive, the phonographic, the photographic, the journalistic, the touristic and of the plastic and scenic arts. In this context, we will study the multiples modes of appropriation of the memory of the jail and of its prisoners, as well as the slides of the book Estação Carandiru, by Drauzio Varella, by different supports, among them the cinema and the TV, in an effort to understand how the fascination for the crime, the trauma of this tragic memory and the lucrative mass culture came to interlace in an intriguing mediatic plot.

O presente trabalho objetiva buscar um maior entendimento da história em quadrinhos como produto cultural e compreender como, com o passar dos anos, ela passou por um processo de legitimação que a tirou do estigma de mero artigo de massa, sem nenhum valor cultural, para um objeto culturalmente valorizado. Buscou-se em um primeiro momento compreender de onde surge o preconceito contra a cultura de massas e, consequentemente, contra as histórias em quadrinhos, e como tal preconceito pode ser entendido a partir de uma relação de poder estabelecida pelo uso do conceito de \"cultura\". Para tal, a abordagem metodológica inicial baseou-se nos Estudo Culturais, especialmente a partir da reformulação do conceito de cultura proposto por Raymond Williams, além das premissas de outros estudiosos da cultura, focando principalmente nos conceitos de ideologia, de John B. Thompson, e de distinção, de Pierre Bourdieu. Dentro de uma abordagem fenomenológica, foi selecionada a Hermenêutica da Profundidade proposta por John B. Thompson. A técnica de coleta de dados utilizada é a documentação indireta, formada pela pesquisa bibliográfica (os textos, acadêmicos ou não, afins com o objeto e metodologia adotados) e a pesquisa documental (o conjunto das histórias em quadrinhos selecionado). Traçou-se, a partir daí, uma linha do tempo no contexto norte-americano que buscou demonstrar que o processo de legitimação cultural teve início na década de 1960 com o movimento intelectual europeu e o movimento underground norte-americano, seguidos pela publicação de Maus, de Art Spiegelman, e da chegada das graphic novels ao mercado. Ademais, buscou-se elucidar como as histórias em quadrinhos constituem-se como um campo de produção cultural específico e autônomo, que pouco tem a ver com o campo da literatura ou das artes plásticas. Para tal, voltamo-nos ao conceito de campo de Pierre Bourdieu. Como resultados principais, foi identificado que os quadrinhos passaram a ser valorizados como um produto cultural legítimo e instâncias que antes os desprezavam, passaram a reconhecer seu valor e importância no espectro cultural mundial. Com esses resultados, visa-se contribuir para a cristalização do entendimento da história em quadrinhos como um campo de produção cultural legítimo, fazendo com que o debate sobre o mesmo cresça e se diversifique cada vez mais. / This study aims to seek a greater understanding of comics as a cultural product and to understand how, over the years, it has undergone a process of legitimation that has removed it from the stigma of mere mass article, with no cultural value, for a culturally valued object. We sought at first to understand where prejudice against mass culture and consequently against comics arises, and how such prejudice can be understood from a relation of power established by the use of the concept of \"culture \". For this, the initial methodological approach was based on the Cultural Studies, especially from the reformulation of the concept of culture proposed by Raymond Williams, in addition to the premises of other culture scholars, focusing mainly on the concepts of ideology, by John B. Thompson, and of distinction, by Pierre Bourdieu. Within a phenomenological approach, the Depth Hermeneutics proposed by John B. Thompson was selected. The technique of data collection used is indirect documentation, constituted by bibliographic research (texts, academic or not, related to the object and methodology adopted) and documentary research (the set of selected comics). A time line was drawn, in the North American context, which sought to demonstrate that the process of cultural legitimacy began in the 1960s with the European intellectual movement and the North American underground movement, followed by the publication of Art Spiegelman\'s Maus and the arrival of graphic novels in the market. In addition, we tried to elucidate how comics constitute a specific and autonomous field of cultural production that has little to do with the field of literature or the plastic arts. To this end, we turned to Pierre Bourdieu\'s field concept. As main results, it was identified that the comic books came to be valued as a legitimate cultural product and instances that previously despised them, began to recognize its value and importance in the world cultural spectrum. With these results, it aims to contribute to the crystallization of the understanding of comics as a legitimate cultural production field, making the debate about it grow and diversify more and more

The empirical corpus is a set of rhythms: sússia, catira, drum, roda and congo. The choise was motivated because they have cultural reference in the State. The goal was identify the Tocantins Drums group formation and appropriate. For this purpose was achieved, it was proposed specifically: understand the importance of the relationship between culture and communication and subaltern culture and mass culture; identify which group's proposal and how the rhythms are worked; understand how to constitute the identities of the group, to identify the elements and belonging of the project participants; verify that the more traditional groups are recognized in the representation of the Drums of Tocantins and realize what the differences between them.The assumptions were that participants in the group Drums of Tocantins developed from a traditional style, but incorporating elements of mass culture, its own forms and styles of cultural expression and acquired a positive stance in relation to the rhythms and music critics as massive , which could result in the construction of their identity.After the conclusion of the proposed research, it was found that not exacly those factors constitute the identity of the group, but a greater bond, the social inclusion. / O tema norteador dessa pesquisa é a apropriação de ritmos tradicionais tocantinenses em um projeto de música percussiva chamado Tambores do Tocantins. O corpus empírico é um conjunto de ritmos: sússia, catira, tambor, congo e roda. A escolha desse objeto foi motivada por eles serem referência nas manifestações culturais do Estado. O objetivo era identificar a dinâmica de formação de identidade do grupo Tambores do Tocantins, na medida em que esses ritmos são apropriados. Para que tal fim fosse alcançado, propôs-se especificamente: compreender a importância da relação entre cultura e comunicação e cultura subalterna e cultura de massa; identificar qual a proposta do grupo Tambores do Tocantins e como os ritmos são trabalhados; compreender como se constitui as identidades do grupo; identificar os elementos singularizantes e de pertencimento dos participantes do projeto; verificar se os grupos mais tradicionais se reconhecem na representação do Tambores do Tocantins e perceber quais as diferenças entre eles. Os pressupostos eram que os participantes do grupo Tambores do Tocantins desenvolviam a partir de um estilo tradicional, mas incorporando elementos da cultura de massa, suas próprias formas e estilos de expressão cultural, e adquiriam uma postura positiva em relação aos ritmos e crítica quanto a música massiva, o que poderia resultar na construção de sua identidade. Após a conclusão das investigações propostas, constatou-se que não são exatamente esses fatores que constituem a identidade de grupo do Tambores do Tocantins, mas um vínculo maior, a inclusão social.

Este trabalho se propõe a estudar a prosa de ficção de José Agrippino de Paula, sobretudo os romances Lugar público e PanAmérica. Nosso objetivo é demonstrar como essas obras absorveram técnicas de vanguarda, notadamente do chamado Novo Romance Francês, que não eram comuns na prosa de ficção brasileira no período em que foram publicadas, a década de 1960. Além disso, com PanAmérica, o autor propôs uma leitura original da mitologia contemporânea configurada pela cultura de massa. Acreditamos que, ainda hoje, esses livros se constituem como romances de excesso e de exceção, já que, por suas inovações formais, não se enquadraram na tradição do romance brasileiro, o que acabou por relegá-los à margem da nossa história literária. / This work aims to study the fiction written by José Agrippino de Paula, mainly the novels Lugar público e PanAmérica. Our goal is to demonstrate how these works absorbed the Avant-garde literary techniques, especially the so-called Nouveau Roman, that were still not common in the Brazilian fiction prose in the 1960s, the time of their publication. Moreover, with PanAmérica, the author proposes a new way of reading the contemporary mythology molded by mass culture. We believe that even today, the books can be considered both excessive and exceptional. Due to their formal innovations, they escape the traditional Brazilian novels boundaries, which at the same time has relegated them to the margins of our literary history.

Contemporary British novelist Fay Weldon negotiates the postmodern "culture industry" as the self-conscious heir to a traditon of women writers dating back to the Middle Ages. Like her predecessors, Weldon defensively and offensively negotiates ideological constructions of womanhood, including injunctions to chastity, modesty, and silence; prohibitions against formal education for women; disdain for the literary production and commercial success of women writers; and the application of double standards in the critical reception of their works. Modernizing the strategies traditionally deployed by women writers, Weldon engages with the advertising industry and the mass-oriented literature of radio and television, using them to construct a career and a public identity for herself while advancing an alternative history of women in the twentieth and early twenty-first century. She exploits the distinctions between high culture, popular culture and mass culture in order to provoke critical reflection; partly for this reason, her work deliberately resists academic criticism. The novels Praxis, Puffball, The Cloning of Joanna May, The Life and Loves of a She-Devil, and The Bulgari Connection explore the phenomenon Walter Benjamin described as the nullification of "aura" in the age of mechanical reproduction; they interrogate the connections between several kinds of reproduction associated with human gestation, women's bodies and social identities, and language and literature. Weldon's interrogative fictions experiment with the novel form, and their reception has been mixed, often splitting along gender lines. Feminists have not always embraced Weldon because she questions everything. Because her prolific output is ongoing, Weldon's achievement as Woman of Letters cannot yet be fully assessed.

In this thesis, the problem of human being&rsquo / s alienation from its own Self, society, species-being, objects (products) and labour, which occurs in capitalist modernity through the formation of mass cultures, is analyzed in the conceptual context of Being and Time. In this respect, it is discussed that Heideggerian philosophy is not at odds with Marxism in contrast to Theodor W. Adorno&rsquo / s arguments in The Jargon of Authenticity. Additionally, the claim of this study is that Heidegger&rsquo / s ontologico-existential philosophy can be effective in the analysis and solution of the problem with regard to some socio-psychological causes and effects of alienation in which the method of political economy can remain inadequate. In particular, Dasein&rsquo / s free and authentic self-understanding which gets rid of the suppressive authority of publicness and the ontological Being-with Others in society in harmony with nature can introduce a revolutionary perspective into the problem of alienation. In this context, the similarities in the approaches of Marx and Heidegger on the modes of alienation are stated and the concept of alienation [Entfremdung] in Being and Time is discussed in relation to Marxist conceptions and the relevant concepts in Being and Time.
