Esta pesquisa apresenta uma exploração teórica e aplicada sobre algumas das premissas fundadoras da teoria da midiatização. Usando como objeto de estudo o subcampo gastronômico da cidade de São Paulo, o trabalho analisa as mudanças produzidas pela saturação midiática nas diferentes fases associadas à análise dos campos de produção cultural de Pierre Bourdieu (1986): articulação histórica do subcampo (França e Brasil) e sua posição em relação ao campo de poder, construção do espaço social do subcampo e articulação das relações entre agentes a partir do seu volume e configuração de capitais durante o período 2014 - 2016, e a análise das práticas constitutivas do habitus dos agentes participantes. Com o objetivo de posicionar nossa abordagem teórica-metodológica, articulamos um panorama abrangente da produção teórica sobre a midiatização que integra tanto contribuições de autores latino-americanos quanto as explorações feitas pela corrente prática. Partindo do entendimento de que preponderância midiática dentro dos campos societários pode ser entendida partir da articulação de um meta-capital midiático (COULDRY, 2012) e a introdução de capitais relacionados com a mídia (DRIESSENS, 2014), a pesquisa examina a incipiente institucionalização de duas práticas midiáticas associadas com a visibilidade e a atenção nas disposições de 4 agentes diferentes: cozinheiro; crítico, guia gastronômico e consumidor. Os resultados da pesquisa evidenciam que se bem os capitais midiáticos ainda sejam pouco valorizados pelos agentes dominantes, sua aquisição - a partir da performatização das duas práticas midiáticas analisadas - está-se transformando em uma estratégia imperativa de manutenção e subversão de posicionamentos no espaço social. / This research presents a theoretical and applied exploration of some of the founding premises of mediatization theory. Using the gastronomic subfield of the city of São Paulo as its object of study, I analyze the changes produced by the mediated saturation of social life on the different phases associated with the analysis of the cultural fields structured by Pierre Bourdieu (1986): historical trajectory of the subfield (France and Brazil) and its position to the field of power, construction of the social space of the subfield and articulation of the relations between agents based on volume and configuration of capitals during the 2014 - 2016 period, and finally, the analysis of the constitutive practices of the habitus of the participating agents. With the objective of positioning our theoretical-methodological approach, we articulate a detailed overview of the mediatization scholarship that integrates both contributions of Latin American authors and the media practice tradition. Based on the understanding that the media\'s role within the cultural fields can be explore through the articulation of a media meta-capital (COULDRY, 2012) and the introduction of media-related capitals (DRIESSENS, 2014), the research examines the incipient institutionalization of two media practices associated with visibility and attention in the social dispositions of 4 different agents: chef; critic, gastronomic guide and consumer. The results show that even though media capitals are still undervalued by the dominant agents, their acquisition -via the performatization of the two analyzed media practices- is becoming an imperative strategy for the maintenance and subversion of positioning in the social space.

The concept of work-life-balance has gained significant attention during the coronavirus pandemic. There are challenges in keeping solid boundaries between Danish female professionals work and private life. There have been previous studies that have demonstrated gendered roles of females that interrupt work and private life. This thesis builds on these qualitative studies. This is done by providing new insights into the challenges experienced by Danish females in balancing their work-life due to varying degrees of media dependencies when exposed to new digital practices (current pandemic). Therefore, the main research question is, “How and why do Danish female professionals experience fluid transitions between professional work and private life, with the increase of new forms of media dependencies?” The study consisted of eight semi-structured interviews with Danish female participants followed by a qualitative approach. Thoroughly employing social design in a mediatization framework, key themes in the experiences of the participants; work-life-balance, flexibility at work, virtual fatigue and self-care practices were extracted. The study also found that there are gendered roles during the coronavirus pandemic, with women shouldering a greater burden due to unpaid labour. The findings of this work provide deeper insights into the challenges females may endure during national lockdowns. It is envisioned that this work will allow for deeper reflections on the usage and consumption of digital media in keeping boundaries between work-private life. This includes Denmark and other countries. /p>

What kind of routine media and communication practices do Estonian civil society organizations enact in their everyday work? What sort of symbolic and physical spaces are used, created, and accessed by Estonian civil society organizations and informal citizen groups when engaging internally and with their target groups? How do these spaces and practices evolve over time? These are the questions this dissertation addresses, with the aim of understanding the ways in which already-established and evolving civil society organizations navigate the highly-mediated everyday through their routine media practices and the spaces in which these practices are situated. Theoretically, this study takes a cultural approach to political participation with the concept of ‘civic cultures’ (Dahlgren 2009, p. 103) in the centrum. In this dissertation, the civic cultures framework is concentrated into a focus on the everyday, on media practices, and on communicative spaces. The concepts of ‘everyday’ and ‘spaces’ are empirically accessed through a practice approach. To distill and explore the role of media in the everyday work of civil society organizations, this thesis borrows from “activist media practices” (Mattoni 2012, p. 159) framework. The empirical study is grounded in the wider geopolitical context of Eastern Europe and in the historical context of post-Soviet Europe, and more specifically in Estonian civil society. Using a multi-methods approach based on media ethnography, this study includes a nationally-representative survey, in-depth interviews with civil society organizations, and a longitudinal study of the Estonian Forest Aid movement. This study found that parallel to striving towards episodic visibility in physical spaces, in mainstream media, and in decision making, civil society organizations worked on constant visibility in the social media space. The most used social media platform, Facebook, proved to be an important space for developing civic cultures on an everyday level: it was used for campaigns, opinion shaping, for disseminating news, and for civic talk. Everyday communication within the organizations was done using a mix of different media technologies and face-to-face meetings. Each media technology and communicative space had their own role and function in the everyday work of Estonian civil society organizations.

Denna studie undersöker småbarnsföräldrars syn på mediefostran i ett alltmer digitaliserat medielandskap. Ur perspektiv om domesticering, mediepraktiker och uppfostran utforskar studien hur föräldrar hanterar sina barns interaktion med medier i vardagen. Genom medieetnografisk metod och kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med småbarnsföräldrar framträder en bild av hur familjer balanserar mellan acceptans och motstånd till olika medier, med betoning på hur medieanvändningen integreras i familjens vardagliga rutiner och sociala praktiker. Resultaten synliggör en komplex väv av familjedynamik, samhällsnormer och teknologisk utveckling, som tillsammans påverkar hur medier domesticeras i hushållen. Studien bidrar på så vis nya insikter om hur små barns medieanvändning blir en del av småbarnfamiljers vardag. / This study examines the views of parents of young children on media parenting in an increasingly digital media landscape. From the perspectives of domestication theory, media practices, and upbringing, the study explores how parents manage their children's interaction with media in everyday life. The study investigates how parents' attitudes towards media shape children's media habits. Through media ethnographic methods and qualitative semi-structured interviews with parents of young children, a picture emerges of how families balance between acceptance and resistance to different types of media, emphasizing how media use is integrated into the family's daily routines and social practices. The studys results show a complex web of family dynamics, moral economy, and technological development, which together influence how media are domesticated in households. Thus, the study contributes with new insights regarding how young childrens media use is a part of the everyday life of families.

Depuis les vingt dernières années, les techniques numériques connaissent un développement sans précédent et semblent favoriser une diversification des formes de réception des contenus audiovisuels. La délinéarisation de ces contenus, la multiplication des offres d’accès ou encore l’entrée de nouveaux acteurs industriels dans la filière audiovisuelle nous poussent à interroger ce que veut dire aujourd’hui « regarder la télévision ». Ce travail doctoral propose de dépasser la question de la pérennité de la télévision comme média de flux en interrogeant plutôt les évolutions des pratiques audiovisuelles des publics dans leurs dimensions symboliques, sociales et affectives. En s’appuyant sur une enquête menée dans plus de quarante foyers et auprès de professionnels du secteur télévisuel, cette recherche montre ainsi que les cadres de réception des publics se complètent et s’articulent plus qu’ils ne s’opposent. Par ailleurs, au travers d’une analyse des mutations des stratégies industrielles, il est également montré que les rapports de force entre chaînes de télévision et acteurs industriels de la communication (du Web, des télécommunications ou du matériel) n’impliquent pas nécessairement une remise en cause du rôle d’intermédiation des chaînes ou de la fonction structurante du modèle socio-économique de flot dans cette filière. Cette recherche souligne également la continuité de l’ancrage domestique des pratiques audiovisuelles malgré la multiplication des écrans et des formes d’accès aux contenus. Ainsi, les usages que les publics ont du numérique ne redessinent pas fondamentalement les rapports familiaux et les modes d’habiter. Au contraire, ces relations symboliques sont parfois renforcées au travers de (ré)appropriations quotidiennes des espaces-temps du foyer, dont les pratiques émergentes sont le support. Cette analyse du rôle des pratiques audiovisuelles dans la création des liens qui se tissent entre les personnes vivant sous le même toit permet ainsi de montrer en quoi ces pratiques participent à la construction du sentiment de « chez-soi » et font partie intégrante de l’économie morale du foyer. / For the last twenty years, digital technology achieved an unprecedented development and seem to accelerate a diversification of the forms of audiovisual contents reception. The delinearization of these contents, the multiplication of the access offers or the entry of new industrial actors in the audiovisual sector push us to question what "watching television" means today. This PhD tries to go beyond the question of the durability of television as a broadcast media by questioning rather the evolution of the public audiovisual practices in their symbolic, social and affective dimensions. Based on a study conducted in more than 40 homes and with professionals of the television sector, this research shows that public reception frames are complementary and articulated more than in opposition. Moreover, through an analysis of the industrial strategies mutations, it is also shown that the balance of power between television channels and communication industries (Web, telecommunications or hardware) does not necessarily put in danger the intermediation role of the channels or the structuring function of the flow model. This research also highlights the continuity of the importance of the domestic dimension in the audiovisual practices despite the multiplication of the devices and the contents offers. Therefore, the uses of the digital technology do not fundamentally redraw the family relations and the modes of living. On the contrary, these symbolic relationships are sometimes reinforced by the daily (re)appropriations of the household spaces-times, through the emerging practices. This analysis of the linking role between people living under the same roof that the audiovisual practices perform shows how they contribute to the construction of the feeling of "home" and are an integral part of the household moral economy.

This new media communication phenomenon, with P2P communication, carries hybrid, convergent and multimedia elements, through which the subjects carry out new media practices and, in this way, put in tension the relations of power in the mediatic ecosystem by acting in Postmodernity post-mass movements, such as midialivrism. In order to understand how this phenomenon occurs, we analyze the configuration of midialivrism (MALINI; ANTOUN, 2013) in a convergent way to social manifestations that have occurred in Brazil since 2013, with the free collectives Mídia NINJA and Jornalistas Livres (Free Journalists), also converging to cyberculture, ruled by the cyberculture laws (LEMOS, 2003). These collectives emerge from this scenario, which mixes cyber-presence activism, providing the basis for reflecting on the points of tension and connection between free-media practices and corporate media, pointing to post-journalism. From the participant observer method, and with the aid of the grounded theory (DIC, 2005), we collect and analyze the material produced by midialivists in cyberculture. Through analysis and interpretation, it resulted in a mapping of a set of midialivist practices. This path made it easier to identify the midialivist's activities in the internet and street networks, and how the three factors (consumption / sharing / production) conditioned each other, ended up connecting, in a demonstration of what this new relationship of free media with Journalism as an alternative media in the mediatized society and how it interacts, in a collaborative way, on the social protest and movements. / A cibercultura ocasionou mudanças nos processos de comunicação na contemporaneidade, principalmente no tocante aos polos de produção e difusão de informação, dando significativa visibilidade à mídia livre e aos movimentos pós-massivos, auxiliados pela comunicação estabelecida através dos dispositivos portáteis, conexões móveis (Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G) e outras ferramentas digitais, como sites de redes sociais, além das transmissões via streaming e plataformas colaborativas. Este novo fenômeno comunicacional midiático, com comunicação P2P, carrega elementos híbridos, convergentes e multimídia, através dos quais os sujeitos protagonizam novas práticas midiáticas e, desta maneira, põem em tensão as relações de poder no ecossistema midiático pela atuação em movimentos pós-massivos da pós-modernidade, como o Midialivrismo. Com o objetivo de entender como acontece esse fenômeno, analisamos a configuração do midialivrismo – a partir do conceito de Fábio Malini e Henrique Antoun (2013) – de maneira convergente às manifestações sociais ocorridas no Brasil a partir de 2013, com os coletivos livres Mídia NINJA e Jornalistas Livres, convergente, também, à cibercultura, tendo como norte às leis da cibercultura de André Lemos (2003). Esses coletivos emergem deste cenário, que mescla ativismo ciber-presencial, possibilitando bases para refletirmos sobre os pontos de tensão e conexão entre práticas de mídia livre e a mídia corporativa, apontando na direção de um pós-jornalismo. A partir do método do observador participante, e com o auxílio da teoria fundamentada (DIC, 2005), coletamos e analisamos o material produzido pelos midialivristas na cibercultura. Mediante a análise e interpretação, resultou num mapeamento de um conjunto de práticas midialivristas. Esse percurso facilitou identificarmos as atividades do midialivrista nas redes da internet e na rua, e como os três fatores (consumo/compartilhamento/produção) condicionados entre si, acabaram se conectando, numa demonstração do que vem a ser essa nova relação da mídia livre com o jornalismo, como mídia alternativa, e de como ela interage na sociedade midiatizada, de maneira colaborativa, ao universo dos protestos e movimentos sociais.

Cette recherche s’inscrit dans le champ de la « communication communautaire ». Apparue dans les années 1970, cette notion a évolué sur des controverses, donnant ainsi naissance à des définitions plurielles voire contradictoires. Elle est tantôt associée à la communication pour le développement, tantôt à la communication citoyenne, alternative et populaire. Malgré cette polysémie, la quantité de médias qui se rangent sous cette appellation est en forte expansion. L’objectif est donc d’avancer dans la compréhension de la notion de communication communautaire au prisme des pratiques médiatiques de communautés indigènes. D’abord, d’un point de vue théorique, je réalise une revue critique de la genèse de cette notion et des controverses scientifiques sur lesquelles elle s’est construite, en fonction d’aires culturelles et de positions idéologiques. Ensuite, d’un point de vue empirique, j’analyse des pratiques médiatiques communautaires à partir d’un travail de terrain de type ethnographique réalisé dans sept communautés indigènes situées dans le nord-ouest argentin. Je démontre que leurs pratiques s’élaborent sur trois niveaux : a) intracommunautaire : vers la communauté elle-même, b) intercommunautaire : vers les autres communautés, et c) extracommunautaire : vers « l’extérieur », c’est-à-dire le reste de la société. Elles utilisent et combinent tous les moyens de communication qu’elles ont à disposition (radios VHF, radios FM et Internet) afin de se ré-approprier leur culture et leur identité, porter leurs revendications, développer leur territoire et nouer un dialogue avec l'opinion publique. Finalement, la démarche dialectique, théorique et empirique, m’amène à proposer un nouveau concept : la « communication communautaire indigène ». / The research is about “community communication”. Born in the 1970’s, this notion was developed from controversies, creating various definitions, sometimes even contradictory ones. It is sometimes associated to communication for development, communication for citizens, alternative or popular communications. Despite the polysemy, an increasing number of media refered themselves as “community media”. My aim is to make a better understanding of the notion of community communication, through indigenous communities’ media practices. First, from a theoretical perspective, I executed a critical genealogy of this notion and scientific controversies on which it was built, based on cultural areas and ideological positions. Then, from an empiric perspective, I analyzed media practices from an ethnographic field work carried out in seven different indigenous communities in Northwest Argentina. I demonstrated that their practices are developed on three levels: a) intra community: towards the community itself, b) inter community: towards other communities, and c) extra community: towards the “outside”, meaning the rest of the society. Communities use and combine all communication tools available (VHF radio, FM radio, and the Internet) in order to re-appropriate their culture and identity, express their claims, develop their territories and create a dialogue with the public opinion. At last, this dialectic approach, theoretical and empirical, leads me to introduce a new concept: “the indigenous community communication”.

Cette thèse s'intéresse au rôle des pratiques médiatiques dans la construction des adolescences lycéennes à La Réunion. Les adolescences lycéennes sont ici envisagées comme des périodes de multiples changements durant lesquelles les individus apprennent à acquérir le statut de lycéen. Cette mutation passe par trois stades qui constituent des « finalités intermédiaires » : les différenciations, les négociations, les adhésions. Les différenciations se construisent par rapport aux autres (enfants, adultes, parents, le sexe opposé). Les négociations résultent de la volonté des adolescents de bricoler avec les éléments qui leur sont imposés et qui font partie de leur identité. Enfin, les adhésions marquent le désir des individus d'adopter des codes et des activités participant à la reconnaissance de leur identité. L'analyse d'entretiens réalisés avec des lycéens en classe de seconde montre que ces adolescents mobilisent leurs pratiques médiatiques pour définir des « stratégies identitaires » facilitant la construction de soi. La thèse interroge au final le lien rites de passage et pratiques médiatiques par ailleurs largement travaillées par les dynamiques culturelles à l'œuvre dans cette île de l'océan Indien. / This dissertation is about the role played by media practices in the identity construction of adolescent secondary school (lycée) students in La Réunion. Secondary school adolescence is considered here as a period of multiple changes during which young individuals learn to be part of this moment of life. The transformation for students from college to lycée goes via the realization of “intermediary finalities”: differentiation, negotiation and identification. Differentiation means taking a distance from other individuals (children, adults, parents, opposite sex). Negociation results from the adolescents ‘ willingness to compose with different elements which are forced upon then and which are parts of their identity. Finally, indentification marks the individuals ‘ desires to adopt codes and activities playing a part in the recognition of their identity. The analysis of interviews conducted with students from the fifth of secondary school (seconde) shows that these teenagers are inspired by their media practices to define “strategies of identity” which help them in the construction of their personal selves. This research observes that media practices are not the only agents for the definition of adolescence: cultural dynamics operating in the island are equally important factors. The thesis also questions the links which can be made between media practices and rites of passage.

This dissertation explores how social class matters in young men’s everyday relationship to digital media. The aim is to contribute to the existing knowledge about how young people incorporate digital media in their everyday lives by focusing on the structural premises of this process. It also presents an empirically grounded critique of popular ideas about young people as a “digital generation”, about the internet as a socially transformative force, and about class as an increasingly redundant category. The empirical material consists of qualitative interviews with 34 young men (16-19 years) from different class backgrounds, upper secondary schools and study programmes. Drawing on the conceptual tools of Pierre Bourdieu, three classes are constructed: the “cultural capital rich”, the “upwardly mobile”, and the “cultural capital poor”. The analysis shows that class, through the workings of habitus, structures the young men’s relationship to school and future aspirations. This also engenders class-distinctive ways of conceiving leisure and digital media use. Through their class habitus and taste, the young men tend to orient themselves and navigate in different ways in what they perceive as a space of digital goods and practices, endowed with different symbolic value in school and society. The “cultural capital rich” are drawn to-wards practices capable of yielding symbolic profit in the field of education and beyond, whereas the other classes gravitate towards the “illegitimate” digital culture but deal with this different ways. These findings indicate that there are social and cultural continuities at play within recent technological changes. They also expose the structural differences hidden by sweeping statements about young people as a “digital generation”. Finally, they show that class, contrary to popular beliefs about “the death of class”, still represents a pertinent analytical category.
