As immigration turns into the scapegoat of political and social tensions all over the world and politicians that seem to be talking about migration flows communicate instead their conception of the world and where it should head, this study investigates the refugee crisis of 2015 as represented in the two global television channels RT and BBCW. Widely studied for the depiction the press gives of the refugees, for the first time the refugee crisis is analyzed as an arena where competing understandings of international relations are constructed, in a media ecology where a myriad of actors have a chance to foreground their truth and where wars are fought, and possibly won, through the weapons of values, culture and the attraction they exercise (Nye Jr. 1990, 2013). Borrowing the concept of strategic narratives from international relations (Miskimmon et al. 2013) and applying it to textual analysis, the study employs framing analysis to operationalize it and explores a sample of 144 news items (74 from RT and 70 from BBCW) broadcast in August and September 2015 to retrace the narratives of the two channels. It finds out that, although conflicting with each other, both RT’s and BBCW’s narratives are strategic and aim at constructing a past, present and future of international relations that can influence what we expect, consider acceptable or conceivable on the international theater. The channels’ narratives are about the destiny of Europe and countries, depicting a reality that still responds to old Cold War dividing lines. An analysis of the actors allowed to speak and represented as acting confirms that in RT and BBCW political elites and the nations they represent have a greater chance, compared to other actors, to define international politics and shape shared understandings of how international relations works and where it is heading.

We found that the objectives of this study were achieved by identifying the inherent technological artifacts of the new media ecology, which are in use by students and public school teachers of RME of São Paulo and the TDIC mediation potential for effective integration and transformation of the school curriculum / O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi investigar o uso pedagógico das Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDIC), por professores e alunos de escolas públicas da Rede Municipal de Ensino de São Paulo (RME). Realizamos um estudo qualitativo em que aplicamos questionários para alunos e professores da RME de São Paulo. Estabelecemos categorias de análises que emergiram da interpretação dos dados obtidos. A presente pesquisa tem como marco teórico os estudos de Postman (1970; 2000) e McLuhan (1969; 2010), que estudam com muita propriedade a ecologia dos meios. Castells (2003) que analisa a sociedade do conhecimento ao afirmar que é uma sociedade de múltiplas oportunidades de aprendizagem e que pela primeira vez a mente humana é uma força produtiva direta. Basbaum (2005) e seus estudos sobre a reorganização dos sentidos por meio das tecnologias. Alegretti (2012) contribui ao analisar a escola estendida por meio das tecnologias móveis. Lemos e Di Felice (2014), abordam com muito domínio, o contexto cultural contemporâneo reticular estruturado nas redes midiáticas que viabilizam o diálogo em rede. Coll (2013), que propõe o conceito de uma nova ecologia da aprendizagem decorrente das tecnologias digitais da informação e comunicação. Constatamos que os objetivos dessa pesquisa foram atingidos ao identificarmos os artefatos tecnológicos inerentes da nova ecologia midiática, que estão em uso por alunos e professores de escolas públicas da RME de São Paulo e o potencial de mediação das TDIC para efetiva integração e transformação do currículo escolar
