Abstract:

Massively multi-user online games and distributed simulations aim at supporting a large number of users while keeping the communication among the parties synchronous and highly interactive. To achieve collaboration, the virtual world is divided into multiple adjacent hexagonal zones in order to properly organize the entities and efficiently manage their liaison. The data distribution structure is Peer-to-Peer (P2P)-based, to support home users, and is managed by a topology-aware protocol at the application layer rather than the network layer. However, such zoning restricts cross-zonal interactions and exposes the division of the world to the parties. Problems such as crowding one zone among others defeats the very purpose of interest management and makes geographic partitioning alone inefficient for modeling interactions. The objective of the thesis is to introduce the design, implementation, and performance study of an area of interest management approach to manage massively multi-user simulations and online games by shirting messaging from a purely zone-based approach to a visibility-driven one. This makes the partitioning transparent to users. Also, a novel idea is presented for dynamic load balancing to handle transient crowding that can be achieved in real-time without modifying the communication architecture. Implementation and performance measurements are also presented.

Abstract:

Dans cette thèse, nous nous intéressons à la conception et à la visualisation de cartes géographiques personnalisées en passant par des étapes d'évaluation et d'amélioration automatiques de ces cartes.Dans la plupart des outils cartographiques récents (comme le GeoPortail ou Google Maps) il est possible pour l'utilisateur de construire lui-même une carte adaptée à ses besoins à partir des couches de données pouvant provenir de sources hétérogènes. Cependant, la manipulation et l'édition de cartes par des utilisateurs non-experts peuvent engendrer des erreurs de représentation qui entravent la compréhension de cette carte par ses lecteurs.Notre recherche concerne donc l'amélioration de la représentation de cartes créées par des utilisateurs non-experts. Etant donné que la lisibilité d'une carte passe par la visibilité des objets qui la composent, dans ce travail nous proposons un modèle qui évalue la visibilité de ces objets cartographiques en se fondant sur un système de cinq indicateurs de visibilité dont les valeurs varient entre 0 et 1. Ce modèle prévoit ensuite quatre méthodes de modification de la symbolisation des objets cartographiques, qui seront utilisées afin d'améliorer leur visibilité. Entre l'étape d'évaluation et celle de l'amélioration de la visibilité de ces objets, une phase d'analyse est mise en place dans le but de décider si une amélioration de la symbolisation des objets cartographiques est nécessaire, et si oui, choisir lesquelles parmi ces modifications pourront être réalisées.Ce modèle prendra comme entrée une carte géographique sous la forme (1) d'un ensemble de couches composées chacune d'objets cartographiques, (2) et de la légende utilisée pour la symbolisation de ces objets cartographiques. Il donnera en sortie (1) un ensemble de fichiers xml qui contiennent les valeurs calculés des indicateurs de visibilité, (2) une carte finale avec une nouvelle symbolisation qui améliore la valeur des indicateurs de visibilité. Ce processus offre alors aux lecteurs une carte plus lisible.Ce travail est ensuite conclu par deux tests qui valident (1) les hypothèses de base, (2) la correspondance effective entre les valeurs des indicateurs et le ressenti réel des lecteurs de cartes, et qui tentent (3) de dégager des seuils de visibilité qui seront utilisés dans le but de corriger et affiner ultérieurement les algorithmes écrits lors de cette thèse
In this thesis, we focus on the design and visualization of custom geographic maps by executing different stages of automatic evaluation and improvement of these maps.In the most recent mapping tools (such as Google Maps or GeoPortail) it is possible for the user to build himself a map that suits his needs using different layers of data which can come from several sources. However, the manipulation and edition of maps by non-experts can cause errors in the representation that affects the understanding of this map by its readers.That's why our research focus on improving the representation of maps created by non-expert users. Since the readability of a map depends on the visibility of objects that compose this map, in this work we propose a model which assesses the visibility of cartographic objects based on a system of five indicators of visibility (values between 0 and 1). This model then provides four methods for modifying the objects symbolization of this map, which will be used to improve their visibility. Between the evaluation and the improvement of the visibility of these objects, an analysis step is performed in order to decide whether an improvement in the symbolization is required, and if so, which of these four methods should be executed.This model takes as input a map in the form of (1) a set of layers each consisting of cartographic objects, (2) and the legend used to represent these cartographic objects. It will generate as an output (1) a set of XML files that contain the values calculated by the indicators of visibility, (2) a final map with a new representation that improve the value of these indicators of visibility. This process then provides readers with a more readable map.This work is then concluded by two tests that validate (1) our basic assumptions, (2) the actual correspondence between the indicator values and the real feel of the map readers, and finally trying (3) to determine visibility thresholds that can be used later in order to correct and refine the algorithms that are proposed in this thesis

Abstract:

The primary objective of this analysis is to uncover the tools of Facebook identity construction. Because Facebook users have the ability to control the images and information associated with their profiles, reactionary scholars typically classify Facebook identity as a symptom of cultural narcissism. However, I seek to displace the fixation on the newness of the medium in order to interrogate the possibility of a society that has internalized surveillance. Using Michel Foucault’s theories on panopticism and heterotopia, I examine the role photographs play in the construction of an individual on Facebook, and the ways in which user photographs are positioned into social memory construction.

Abstract:

Le « discours managérial » est aujourd’hui omniprésent dans la vie des entreprises, celles des organisations et au cœur de la vie quotidienne des individus. L’objet de notre étude, au cours de cette thèse, est de décrire les conditions d’émergence de ce nouveau type de rationalité, ainsi que ses modalités de transformation. En effet, le « discours managérial » est issu des sciences de gestion, apparues au début du XXème siècle, qui ont emprunté des principes militaires, ainsi que des notions des sciences de l’ingénieur, de la biologie, et des sciences sociales ; ces « visibilités » (terme en référence aux travaux de l’historien Alfred D. Chandler) constituent donc un « discours managérial » permettant de se représenter de manière normative l’entreprise, ses techniques et ses actions humaines afférentes. Cette rationalité avait été analysée telle une « idéologie » par Reinhard Bendix, elle est au contraire un discours pluriel et ne cessant pas d’évoluer. En référence aux travaux de Luc Boltanski et Eve Chiapello, nous décrivons comment le corps de doctrine du « discours managérial » s’est transformé entre les années 1960, les années 1990 ; nous prolongeons cette même recherche avec un nouveau corpus de littérature managériale des années 2010. Notre analyse sémantique des 100 années de littérature spécialisée met en relief les déplacements de sens, au fil du temps, du « discours managérial », tout en resituant son unité à partir d’une « grammaire » que nous mettons en évidence. Ainsi, les formes d’entreprise se transforment : General Motors était le modèle des entreprises dans les années 1960, ensuite dans les années 1990 ce fut Toyota, puis Google de nos jours. De même, les concepts évoluent : l’analyse de la « planification » devient celle des « réseaux » puis des « collaborations » ; la « délégation » devient le « leadership » puis la « libération » ; les « programmes » sont des « projets » puis des « données ». Pour autant, notre thèse démontre comment le « discours managérial » reste lui structuré autour d’une même « grammaire ». Celle-ci est composée d’une « visibilité synoptique » (i.e. la représentation d’ensemble de l’entreprise), d’une « visibilité de la mesure » (i.e. le calcul de l’activité de travail), d’une « visibilité de la délégation » (i.e. la maîtrise de l’activité d’autrui), et d’une « visibilité de la commercialisation » (i.e. la définition de l’entreprise par l’extérieur). Le « discours managérial » tient sa force de capacité d’adaptation à l’aide de sa « grammaire » définie dans cette thèse
The "managerial discourse" is today omnipresent in the life of corporation, as well as within organizations and in everyday life of individuals. The aim of this PhD is to describe the conditions of emergence of a new kind of rationality, as well as its ways of transformation. Firstly, the "managerial discourse" stems from the management sciences, which irrupted at the beginning of the 20th century, composed by part of military principles, as well as notions of engineering, biology and social sciences. What we called "visibilities" (term coined by the work of the historian Alfred D. Chandler) enable a "managerial discourse" to streamline normatively the enterprise, its techniques and its human actions related. In that way, rationality had been analyzed as an "ideology" by Reinhard Bendix, but furtherly viewed as a plurality of discourses that are continuously evolving. Prolonging the work of Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello, we are describing how the body of doctrine concerning "managerial discourse" has been transformed from the 1960’ to the 1990’; we have extended this analysis with a new corpus of managerial literature of the 2010’. Our semantic analysis – over 100 years of specialized literature (from pionniers to actual vision) – highlights the displacements of meaning over time while restoring its unity with the support of a what we call "grammar of the managerial discourse". Basically, the company had General Motors for model in the 1960’, then in the 1990’ it was Toyota, and Google nowadays. Similarly, concepts are reshuffled : the focus on "planning" moved into "networks" and then "collaborations"; The "delegation" moved into "leadership" and then "liberation"; focus were on "programs", after on "projects" and now on "data". However, our PhD shows how "managerial discourse" remains structured around the notion of "grammar". This consists of a "synoptic visibility" (ie the overall representation of the company), a "visibility of the measure" (ie the calculation of the work activity), a "visibility of the delegation" (ie control of the activity of others), and a "visibility of the commercialization" (ie the definition of the company from outside). The "managerial discourse" is powered firstly by its adaptability to any change, with the help of its "grammar" defined in this thesis

Abstract:

Esta pesquisa analisa o projeto Pacto Pelo Rio Grande, fórum de discussões criado pela Assembléia Legislativa do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul em 2006, com o propósito de buscar soluções consensuais para a crise financeira do Estado. Partindo da compreensão sobre a importância da visibilidade e da produção de imagem para a obtenção do apoio, do consentimento e da legitimidade da opinião pública na contemporaneidade, essa dissertação mostra como o projeto serve para configurar mecanismos de exposição de atores políticos em busca de visibilidade e produção de imagem em nome da convergência de interesses. Os objetivos foram atingidos por meio do estudo histórico-descritivo e do exame sobre as estratégias de comunicação e do discurso utilizados em três esferas distintas de visibilidade pública: a comunicação institucional (Assembléia Legislativa), a propaganda institucional (Pacto pelo Rio Grande) e a repercussão jornalística (jornal Zero Hora).
The present survey analyzes a project called 'Pacto pelo Rio Grande', a discussion forum created by the Legislative Authority of the estate of Rio Grande do Sul, in 2006, with the purpose of building consensual solutions for the economic crisis in the Estate. Starting from the understanding about the importance of visibility and construction of a certain image in order to obtain support, and of the consensus and legitimacy of public opinion nowadays, this thesis shows how the mentioned project serve as a mechanism to expose the political actors searching for visibility and as a way to produce a certain image that could influence public interests. The outcomes of the present work were reached throughout a historical study as well as an exam of the communication strategies and speeches found in three different spectrums of public visibility: the institutional communication (Legislative Authority), the institutional marketing (Pacto pelo Rio Grande) and the repercussion on the News (Zero Hora).

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the development of a distributed mobile robot localization and communication system for special interventions like those carried out by fire-fighters in fire ground search and rescue. The use case scenario is related to the one described for the GUARDIANS EU project, where a swarm formation of mobile robots accompany a fire fighter during a rescue intervention in a warehouse. In this line, localizing the robots and the fire fighter during an indoor intervention with the presence of smoke is one of the more interesting challenges in this scenario. Several localization techniques have been developed using ultrasonic sensors, radio frequency signals and visual information. It has also been studied several communication protocols that can help to improve the efficiency of the system in such scenario and a proposal for designing a cross-layer communication platform that improves the connectivity of the mobile nodes during an intervention and reduces the number of lost data packets.

Abstract:

The occupation of Western Sahara is a question of a forgotten colonization with a very limited framework of international recognition, media acknowledgment and talks. To break the remaining silence and invisibility, human rights activists have developed different initiatives, shedding light on the current situation of Western Sahara. This study investigates the Sahara Marathon campaign, an international sport event that has been developed in the Western Sahara refugee camps of Smara, El Aaiún and Auserd for twenty consecutive years. Framing the Sahara Marathon as a case study, this degree project aims at inquiring into the potential impact and long-term implications of the international sport campaign, seeking “if” and “how” it contributes towards a social change and an end to the enforced invisibility of “Africa's last colony”, (Güell, 2015). In particular, this qualitative study examines the participatory approach and community engagement promoted through the campaign as well as the awareness-raising and dialogical processes triggered as a result of the Sahara Marathon sport event. The study is grounded on 23 in-depth interviews that have contributed to the external reliability of the research, underlining the reflections shared by organizers of the Sahara Marathon, drivers, freelancers, runners and most importantly human rights activists from Western Sahara. Findings reveal that the Sahara Marathon campaign raises awareness about the current situation in Western Sahara, contributing to a transnational acknowledgment of the conflict. The study also shows that active listening and convivial experiences are promoted throughout the campaign, dismantling stereotypes among communities coming from abroad and Saharawi people living in the refugee camps. In terms of participation, it has been concluded that the campaign uses a participation by consultation approach, needing a new model to showcase the utility and effectiveness of the event as well as to ensure its sustainability in the future.

Abstract:

Envisageant le réseau social d’entreprise comme un dispositif info-communicationnel hybride, cette thèse vise à saisir les différents discours qui le traversent, dans une position critique du modèle managérial qui est supposé mener à son intégration dans les organisations. Ce dispositif étant situé dans un contexte professionnel, la recherche menée réinterroge également la notion d’activité à l’aune de la représentation du réseau social d’entreprise en tant que nouvel outil collaboratif et de gestion des connaissances. Afin d’observer et de comprendre les interactions qui ont cours entre les différents éléments de ce dispositif, une méthodologie plurielle, essentiellement qualitative, a été mise en place. Celle-ci a permis de recueillir, examiner et rapprocher à la fois des publications, des entretiens (individuels et collectif) et des écrits d’écran, par une analyse discursive et sémiotique. Car l’une des particularités de ce dispositif est qu’il semble véhiculer un certain nombre de contradictions, voire provoquer des paradoxes pragmatiques, du fait notamment que son principal mécanisme repose sur une visibilité permanente
Considering the enterprise social network as an hybrid info-communicational apparatus, this thesis aims to capture the different discourses that cross it, in a critical position of the managerial model that is supposed to lead to its integration into organizations. As this apparatus is located in a professional context, the research also reinterprets the notion of activity in the light of the representation of the enterprise social network as a new collaborative and knowledge management tool. In order to observe and understand the interactions that take place between the various elements of this apparatus, a plural methodology, essentially qualitative, has been put in place. This enabled to collect, examine and reconcile at the same time publications, interviews (individual and collective) and screen writings, by a discursive and semiotic analysis. Because one of the peculiarities of this apparatus is that it seems to convey a certain number of contradictions, even to cause pragmatic paradoxes, in particular because its principal mechanism rests on a permanent visibility

Abstract:

Many robotic systems are remotely operated nowadays that require uninterrupted connection and safe mission planning. Such systems are commonly found in military drones, search and rescue operations, mining robotics, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. Different robotic systems may employ disparate communication modalities such as radio network, visible light communication, satellite, infrared, Wi-Fi. However, in an autonomous mission where the robots are expected to be interconnected, communication constrained environment frequently arises due to the out of range problem or unavailability of the signal. Furthermore, several automated projects (building construction, assembly line) do not guarantee uninterrupted communication, and a safe project plan is required that optimizes collision risks, cost, and duration. In this thesis, we propose four pronged approaches to alleviate some of these issues: 1) Communication aware world mapping; 2) Communication preserving using the Line-of-Sight (LoS); 3) Communication aware safe planning; and 4) Multi-Objective motion planning for navigation. First, we focus on developing a communication aware world map that integrates traditional world models with the planning of multi-robot placement. Our proposed communication map selects the optimal placement of a chain of intermediate relay vehicles in order to maximize communication quality to a remote unit. We also vi propose an algorithm to build a min-Arborescence tree when there are multiple remote units to be served. Second, in communication denied environments, we use Line-of-Sight (LoS) to establish communication between mobile robots, control their movements and relay information to other autonomous units. We formulate and study the complexity of a multi-robot relay network positioning problem and propose approximation algorithms that restore visibility based connectivity through the relocation of one or more robots. Third, we develop a framework to quantify the safety score of a fully automated robotic mission where the coexistence of human and robot may pose a collision risk. A number of alternate mission plans are analyzed using motion planning algorithms to select the safest one. Finally, an efficient multi-objective optimization based path planning for the robots is developed to deal with several Pareto optimal cost attributes.

Abstract:

Despite recent gains in areas such as school attendance and literacy, the struggle for women’s rights and equality in Africa remains constant. Alongside the socio-economic barriers holding down millions of women, is the fight against the gender bias and stereotyping which puts women in the backseat of decision-making, policy-driving, or leadership roles.This dissertation project is a case study of a women’s social justice writing workshop run by the African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF), a Pan-African grant-making organisation. Convened three times since 2014, it brings together women from across the continent for a residential camp to sharpen participants’ skills in writing and communicating about social justice issues.This research project attempts to examine the workshop in the context of media for development theory and strategies, which see the media (print, electronic and new media) as the fundamental strategies that drive the process of communicating. (Manyozo). It also looks at its relevance in the context of gender inequalities in media representation in Africa in line with Beijing 1995’s global call.Although to a very limited scale, the study suggests that the workshop has played a small, yet significant role in conceptualising and implementation of a communication for development strategy that emphasizes capacity-building.Harnessing the power of storytelling, the five years since the workshop, has seen many of the African women who participated, produce local content, confidently representing and analysing “our own issues for ourselves in our diversities.” Through their writings, radio shows, news stories, blogs and public speaking engagements, they are joining powerful agents of change in bringing transformation to the struggle to combat gender stereotypes and inequality, which is still far from over.

This research work addresses the discourse of sustainable development and its ploys to conceal predatory practices. On a planet economically administered by the logic of waste and of structural recycling, the sustainability discourse operates mediatically within a context guided by a painless minimalist ethics, which readily accepts the celebratory and spectacularized approach to sustainability, but rejects it in everything that prescribes renunciation, thrift or threat of change in the geo-economic infrastructure. In this nonrestrictive, instrumentalized and hedonistic ethics, the discourse serves to simulate responsibilities and conceal predatory practices. "Green consciousness" is readily accepted by the individual-commodity. The logic of desire overrides the logic of need and sustainability becomes a commodity exchange. In this context, a substantial portion of publications on sustainability celebrate the advent of a new way of doing business, a new way of living, with responsibility and environmental respect. However, few attempts are made to examine the issue critically. The purpose of the research is to investigate the discourse of sustainable development and its insertion into mediatic visibility, considering three actors: (1) industrial corporations responsible for the process of environmental degradation; (2) governments, which do little to contain the predatory flow, given that they are powerless to interfere in a world for which they are unprepared, and (3) civil society organizations, which started off as pioneers in defending the cause of sustainability, but later fell behind in the contest for control of the environmental discourse. In this scenario, we propose the hypothesis that companies, governments and civil society organizations, when engaging in the sustainability discourse, use it as a tool for dissuasion and concealment of what is real. The theoretical framework of this research lies within the field of Communication, based on studies about media visibility, consumer practices, cybercultural dromocracy and existence in real time. In the environmental field, particularly insofar as Communication theories are concerned, issues are analyzed pertaining to the commodification of nature and to spectacle ecology. The theoretical framework also touches upon topics pertaining to the manipulation of affects, to alienation and to hegemony. The research methodology involved a review of the literature on studies of sustainability and their discursive practices. This was followed by studies in the field of Communication that would enable a perspective view of the problem, and lastly, a qualitative survey of communication materials produced by the key actors (companies, governments and NGOs). After these surveys, a systematization was performed of the data and their relationships with the theories that analyze the state of the world today
A pesquisa aborda o discurso do desenvolvimento sustentável e seus dispositivos de dissimulação de práticas predatórias. Em um planeta economicamente administrado pela lógica do desperdício e da reciclagem estrutural, o discurso da sustentabilidade opera mediaticamente em um contexto referenciado por uma ética minimalista e indolor, que aceita muito bem a sustentabilidade em seu viés celebratório e espetacularizado, mas a rejeita em tudo o que prescreve renúncia, parcimônia ou ameaça de mudança da infraestrutura geoeconômica. Nessa ética não restritiva, instrumentalizada e hedonista, o discurso atua de forma a simular responsabilidades e dissimular práticas predatórias. A “consciência verde” é aceita com fluidez pelo sujeito-mercadoria. A lógica do desejo se sobrepõe à lógica da necessidade e a sustentabilidade se torna mercadoria de troca. Nesse contexto, uma substancial parcela das publicações sobre sustentabilidade celebra o advento de um novo jeito de fazer negócios, uma nova forma de viver, com responsabilidade e respeito ambiental. São escassas as tentativas de analisar a questão de forma crítica. O propósito da pesquisa é investigar o discurso do desenvolvimento sustentável e sua inserção na visibilidade mediática, considerando três atores: (1) as corporações industriais responsáveis pelo processo de degradação ambiental; (2) os governos, que pouco têm a fazer para conter o fluxo predatório, pois são impotentes para interferir em um mundo para o qual não estão preparados e (3) as organizações da sociedade civil que abraçaram a causa da sustentabilidade, inicialmente de forma pioneira, mas depois ficando para trás na disputa pelo controle do discurso socioambiental. Nesse cenário, parte-se da hipótese de que empresas, governos e organizações da sociedade civil, ao lançarem mão do discurso da sustentabilidade, o empregam como ferramenta de dissuasão e ocultação do real. A pesquisa está teoricamente referenciada, no campo da Comunicação, nos estudos sobre visibilidade mediática, práticas de consumo, dromocracia cibercultural e existência em tempo real. No campo ambiental, com destaque para as teorias que dialogam com a Comunicação, analisam-se questões ligadas à mercantilização da natureza e a ecologia-espetáculo. O quadro teórico também gravita por temas relacionados à manipulação dos afetos, à alienação e à hegemonia. A metodologia de pesquisa partiu do levantamento bibliográfico de obras que estudam a sustentabilidade e suas práticas discursivas. Posteriormente, pesquisou estudos do campo da Comunicação que permitissem a visão do problema em perspectiva, para finalmente fazer um levantamento qualitativo de materiais de comunicação produzidos pelos atores chaves (empresas, governos e ONGs). Após essas apurações, operou-se a sistematização dos dados e suas relações com as teorias que analisam o estado do mundo atual

Full text

Abstract:

This study explores the theory of prosocial public relations as proposed by Wakefield, Burnett, and van Dusen (2011). The propositions put forth by the theory are that in gaining visibility and support for prosocial causes, an organization will engage in non-confrontational (prosocial) public relations by building up internal resources, reaching out to target publics, and making connections with those publics related to the cause. This single-case study explored the public relations and communication tactics of a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide aid and service to the poor. A Council of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul located in the Western United States served as the case. Observations from this study were made through analysis of documentation and archival records and were supported through interviews with key staff members of the Society and field observations. The findings support the theory of prosocial public relations in that communication and public relations are vital aspects in the work of the nonprofit as it strives to gain visibility and support for the cause. Observations from the case study support that the Society builds up, reaches out, and connects with key publics. In addition, based on data, a fourth element of prosocial public relations, nurturing relationships, is proposed. This study begins to establish some of the public relations methods of how a successful prosocial nonprofit organization can build up, reach out, make connections, and nurture relationships through communication.

Abstract:

Alors que les étrangers n’ont plus été les bienvenus suite aux bouleversements économiques et sociaux consécutifs à la fin de Trente Glorieuses, que la France a pris diverses mesures pour endiguer le flot de l’immigration, il est aujourd’hui évident, au vu de la recrudescence des discriminations, que le pays doit trouver une alternative à une politique d’intégration dont l’universalisme ne parvient plus à garantir les valeurs françaises fondatrices de la Nation. En s’appuyant, grâce à l’outil du Conseil des Résidents Etrangers, sur des associations référées à l’immigration, la politique d’intégration de Strasbourg s’inscrit de façon originale dans cette discussion: elle permet d’utiliser comme ressources des groupes fondés sur des identités particulières afin d’entrer dans des négociations ou des débats politiques et sociaux. Mais la politique est un art, selon G. BOUTHOUL (1967) et la communication politique vise à faire adhérer l’électeur à des perceptions publiques orientées (J. GERSTLE, 2004). Dans notre société, où la diversité est largement prônée, il est judicieux pour Strasbourg de mettre en évidence une politique d’intégration basée sur la différence. Le CRE devient tribune de la Ville et stratégie électorale. Notre objectif est alors de saisir dans quelle mesure la politique d’intégration menée par Strasbourg s’inscrit dans une stratégie de communication
While foreigners were no longer welcome in response to economic shocks and social consecutive late-warboom, that France has taken various measures to stem the flow of immigration, it is now obvious, given the resurgence of racism, anti-Semitism or discrimination, that the country needs an alternative to a policy of integration whose universalism is no longer able to guarantee the fundamental French values and founding of the nation. Relying on associations referred to immigration found by using a tool of the Council of foreign residents (CRE), the integration policy of Strasbourg fits as original in this discussion: it allows the use of groups based on particular identities as resource to enter into negotiations or political and social debates. But politics is an art, according to G. BOUTHOUL (1967) and political communication aims to make the voter join public oriented perceptions (J. GERSTLE, 2004). In our society, where diversity wins by being promoted by the Right-wing as well as Left-wing, it is judicious for Strasbourg to bring out an integration policy based on the difference. The CRE becomes tribune of the City and electoral strategy. Based on our qualitative study, we aim to understand the extent of the integration policy conducted by the City of Strasbourg in the communication strategy

Abstract:

During the so-called ‘migration crisis’ of 2015, 51,338 Syrians applied for asylum in Sweden. First, Swedish politicians called for Swedes to ‘open their hearts’, public support was strong, and media coverage was full of possibilities and humanizing images. As the crisis developed, Sweden’s generous asylum legislation switched to the EU minimum, the political climate toughened and media’s positive frames soon shifted to discussing negative consequences. This degree project focuses on those least visible in the media’s representation of the migration crisis – refugee women. By using Chouliaraki and Zaborowski’s (2017) model ‘voice by narrative’, it answers the research question; How are refugee women from Syria represented in national and local Swedish newspapers?, as well as the following sub-questions: What news frames are used in texts where Syrian women are featured? In what ways are refugee women given visibility and space to speak? What types of representations, wording, and stereotypes are used? What differences can be found between 2015 and 2020, national and local newspapers? The project examines news frames, gendered representations, typical stereotypes, visibility, and space given to Syrian women in Swedish newspapers. It does so by content analysis of newspaper articles from three newspapers published in 2015 and 2020. The project uses theories of othering, intersectionality, and post-colonial power structures as well as literature on representations in European media during the migration crisis to understand representations, voice, and news frames in Swedish newspapers. The results indicated that refugee women are often silenced and spoken of instead of given space to speak. The most commonly used news frames among the analyzed texts were negative geopolitical and women were often decontextualized. Victimization and normalization were the most commonly used stereotypes assigned to refugee women. The majority of representations of refugee women were collective and the women were in many ways othered. Refugee women are othered, decontextualized, silenced, and collectivized, which will have its consequences as they are methods that limit refugee women’s status and position in society – maintaining their position as ‘others’ in Swedish society.

The aim of the current thesis is to understand the role of the television into the social and political context in Brazil and in Spain, as well as the constitutive process of public information broadcasted on the public TV channels about the social movements, considering the framing (or background) given by the news channels in relation to the visibility of the social actors, and of the politicians during the manifestations. In order to do so, a comparative analysis of the public communication between Spain and Brazil was conducted, and the research aim was on the press coverage performed by the following TV news programs: Telediario 2, Canal La 1, Spanish Public TV – RTVE, about 15-M Movement, “Indignados” (“The Outraged”), which took place at the main squares of the Capitals of the Autonomous Communities of Spain, in the months of May and June of 2011, and the news broadcast of Repórter Brasil, of the Brazilian public TV, TV Brasil, during the manifestations that took place on the main streets, avenues and squares of the capitals in Brazil during the four weeks of June 2013. We considered the contribution given by the contemporaneous theoreticians of the political communication, as well as the social movements themselves, and the discussions about public TV. The methodology of media framing was used for the empirical study, and it resulted in the analyses of the matters broadcasted, and in the predominance of the limited visibility given to the social movements
O objetivo desta tese é compreender o papel da televisão no contexto social e político na Espanha e no Brasil, assim como o processo constitutivo da informação pública veiculada nos canais públicos de televisão sobre os movimentos sociais, considerando o enquadramento dado pelos telejornais quanto à visibilidade dos atores sociais e políticos nas manifestações. Para isso, realizou-se uma análise comparativa da comunicação pública entre Espanha e Brasil, tomando como objeto de pesquisa a cobertura jornalística realizada pelos noticiários do telejornal Telediario 2, do Canal La 1, da Televisão Pública Espanhola – RTVE, sobre o Movimento 15-M, os “Indignados”, ocorrido nas principais praças das capitais das Comunidades Autônomas da Espanha, nos meses de maio e junho de 2011, e a cobertura do telejornal Repórter Brasil, da televisão pública brasileira TV Brasil, durante as manifestações de junho de 2013, no Brasil, que ocorreram nas principais ruas, avenidas e praças das capitais do país, durante as quatro semanas daquele mês. Considerou-se a contribuição dos teóricos contemporâneos da comunicação política, dos movimentos sociais, das discussões sobre televisões públicas. Foi utilizada a metodologia de enquadramento da mídia para o estudo empírico, resultando, nas análises das matérias veiculadas, a predominância da limitada visibilidade dada aos movimentos sociais

The research has as main purpose to comprehend the logic involved in the institutional visibility construction process in the internet, from two distinct interaction spaces: an institutional portal and an Orkut community. With this purpose, the following specific objectives were established: to comprehend the visibility construction project in the internet, to identify the way which the Federal University of Santa Maria - UFSM portal is organized, and to recognize through the utilized strategies, some logics of the process through which questions regarding this institution gain visibility in this space; to identify how the biggest Orkut community about UFSM is organized and recognize through the utilized strategies, some logics of the process through which questions regarding this University gain visibility in this space. This is a qualitative research and is fundamentally interpretative. An empirical observation was done on both objects: the UFSM portal and the community in the Orkut about UFSM with the biggest number of participants. The methodology to treat these objects is based on the observation and description of how each one of the interaction spaces in the internet is organized. Moreover, three characteristics which we find to be essential on the institutional visibility construction process in these spaces were observed: type of interaction, thematic range and themes maintenance. The literature review allows to characterize the media as a visibility sphere in the contemporary days, having a crucial role on legitimating institutions. In this way, the study highlights the importance to investigate the process of media visibility construction in face of the new socio-technological possibilities, such as internet. As a communication channel in the media field, the internet builds specific models and process of interaction. In this way, it also permits a peculiar modality of institutional visibility, where questions referring to a specific institution, which is seeking for legitimation, can be displayed either by the responsible for the institutional communication or by other members, in the board or not, of the institution. The result from this proposal was the observation that the in the portal, the process of visibility construction of UFSM is characterized by a logic of linearity. On the other hand, this process in the community is constituted by logic of negotiation, dialogical.
A pesquisa tem como objetivo central compreender as lógicas envolvidas nos processos de construção da visibilidade institucional na Internet a partir de dois espaços distintos de interação: um portal institucional e uma comunidade do Orkut. Para esse objetivo, foram definidos os seguintes objetivos específicos: compreender o processo de construção da visibilidade na Internet; identificar o modo como está organizado o portal da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria - UFSM e reconhecer através das estratégias utilizadas algumas lógicas do processo pelo qual as questões referentes a essa instituição ganham visibilidade nesse espaço; identificar o modo como está organizada a maior comunidade sobre a UFSM do Orkut e reconhecer através das estratégias postas em operação algumas lógicas do processo pelo qual as questões referentes a essa Universidade ganham visibilidade nesse espaço. A pesquisa possui um caráter qualitativo e é fundamentalmente interpretativa. Foi realizada uma observação empírica em dois objetos: o portal da UFSM e a comunidade sobre a UFSM no Orkut com o maior número de participantes. A metodologia para o tratamento desses objetos consiste na observação e descrição do modo como está organizado cada um dos espaços de interação na Internet, além da observação de três características que julgamos essenciais no processo de construção da visibilidade institucional nesses espaços: tipos de interação, abrangência temática e manutenção dos temas. A revisão de literatura permite caracterizar a mídia como esfera de visibilidade na contemporaneidade, exercendo um importante papel no que se refere à legitimação das instituições. Nesse sentido, o estudo destaca a importância de investigar o processo de construção da visibilidade midiática diante de novas possibilidades sóciotecnológicas, como a Internet. Enquanto modalidade de comunicação do campo midiático, a Internet constitui modelos e processos específicos de interação, nesse sentido, ela também possibilita uma modalidade peculiar de visibilidade institucional, na qual a disponibilização de questões referentes a uma determinada instituição, que busca legitimar-se, pode ser realizada tanto pelos responsáveis por sua comunicação institucional, como por outros indivíduos membros do quadro da instituição ou não. Dessa proposta resultou a observação de que no portal o processo de construção da visibilidade da UFSM caracteriza-se por uma lógica de linearidade, ao passo que na comunidade esse processo constitui-se por uma lógica de negociação, dialógica.

Abstract:

Parce qu’ils font l’objet d’une utilisation intensive ces dernières années et que leur adoption suit une courbe similaire à celle du taux de pénétration du smartphone, les services de géolocalisation se sont rapidement et solidement ancrés dans le quotidien des individus hyperconnectés. Nous nous interrogeons dans cette recherche doctorale sur les nouvelles expériences au monde qui découlent de l’usage de ces dispositifs à travers une enquête qualitative menée auprès de 62 individus. Nos premiers résultats mettent en évidence que ces services, au même titre que d’autres technologies de l’information et de la communication, contribuent grandement à un réinvestissement des espaces et des lieux, à une relativisation des distances kilométriques et à de nouveaux rapports au temps marqués par une accélération continue et une recherche de l’immédiateté. Mais, les applications géolocalisées se voulant aujourd’hui de plus en plus socialisantes, nous avons également relevé et analysé de nouvelles stratégies de regroupement, d’évitement, de surveillance voire de contrôle entre des individus. Cela amène parfois à de nouveaux rapports de forces entre un géolocalisant et un géolocalisé, intimement liés aux problématiques de la visibilité, de la visualité et de l’anonymat dans un espace urbain hybridé où le partage de la position géographique est devenu quasiment permanent
Because of their increasing and intensive use over the last few years, roughly similar to the smartphone penetration rate, Location-Based Services (LBS) have quickly and strongly become rooted in the everyday’s life of the hyperconnected user. We are questionning ourselves in this PhD research on the new experiences to the world brought by the use of such devices throughout a qualitative survey conducted among 62 LBS users. Our first results highlight that those LBS, like some other information and communication technologies, largely contribute in the reinvestment of space and places, while they are creating a relativization of metric distance over the temporal one and new ways to experience time defined by a continuous acceleration and a search for immediacy. But, as LBS are becoming more and more socializing, we also noticed and analyzed new grouping and dodging strategies, as well as new ways to watch over and possibly control people. This sometimes leads to new balances of power between the one who is tracking and the one who is being tracked, deeply linked to discussions over visibility, visuality and anonymity in a hybrid urban space where the share of location has become almost continuous

Abstract:

The abrupt transition to remote work caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has put considerable pressure on both companies and their employees. With no means to avoid the crisis, many companies have transitioned to remote work, conducting their business predominantly on digital platforms. This has created a situation where the employees are disconnected from the collective of the office at the same time as they face a completely new situation. To our attention, research is lacking in the area of organizational resilience in remote settings. Thus, we have conducted a qualitative case study where we have examined how organizational and individual resilience has influenced a company during the change to remote work and how adequate communication can facilitate a strengthened resilience. Our findings suggest that the social aspects of a sustainable resilience are hard to replicate in a digital environment and that communication might be the primary driver of organizational resilience in all resilience streams.

Esta pesquisa aborda o estudo de caso do Grupo Voz. Tem como objetivo compreender as transformações no processo da visibilidade midiática do Grupo Voz através de relações e interações entre sua religiosidade, consumo e materialidade no desenvolvimento de seus conteúdos musicais e comunicacionais e se utiliza da etnografia virtual, como inspiração metodológica. Os conteúdos comunicacionais e artísticos produzidos pela banda, estabelece um diálogo entre os usos que os integrantes fazem das tecnologias de comunicação digital e transformações ocorridas neste processo. Considera o pensamento religioso do Voz e seu entrelaçamento com a estética, o pop e o mercado gospel, perpassados por questões que abordam a visibilidade do grupo. Em um segundo momento, pensa a trajetória e a Materialidade da Comunicação em virtude da emergência dos corpos em um fenômeno comunicacional que relaciona performances, estética, arte e transformações desenvolvidas na relação banda/mídia. Posteriormente, trata das questões de consumo que circundam o objeto empírico e tensões entre crenças e conflitos com o mercado fonográfico, táticas, estratégias e visibilidade. Culmina com a possibilidade de um sistema de visibilidade e seus desdobramentos onde há jogos de poder entre os atores sociais envolvidos e subjetividades que se tornam elementos importantes na compreensão da trajetória percorrida pelos músicos
This research handles the case study of Grupo Voz and Aims to understand the transformations in the process of media visibility of the Voz through the relations and interactions between their religiosity, consumption and materiality in the development of their musical and communicational contents using the virtual ethnography as methodological inspiration. The communicational and artistic contents produced by the band put in place a dialog about the uses of digital communication technologies among the members and transformations occurred in this process. It considers the religious thinking of Voz and its entanglement with aesthetics, pop and the gospel market passed by issues that address the visibility of the group. In a second moment thinks about the trajectory and the Materiality of Communication by virtue of the emergence of bodies in a communication phenomenon that relates performances, aesthetics, art, and transformations developed in the band/media relation. Posteriorly it deals with the consumption issues that surround the empirical object and tensions between beliefs and conflicts with the phonographic market, tactics, strategies and visibility. It culminates with the possibility of a system of visibility and its unfoldings where there are power games between the involved social actors and subjectivities that become important elements in the understanding of the trajectory traversed by the musicians.

This study aims to examine how communicational relationships are established between Anonymous collective and the mass media such as television, radio and print media. Anonymous began as a small group of internet users seeking fun in the imageboard 4chan. Later on, the group gained a more serious stance, chasing free exchange information, freedom of speech and free Internet usage. It has become a media phenomenon that resulted in a collective of cyberactivists with unclear political objectives and became popular after being recognized for: shutting down government websites, confidential information leakage and stolen data. The goal of this research is to (i) demonstrate how media builded and explored an image of a collective that is mobilized through social networks to organize concomitant protests in several parts of the world and (ii) explain how media uses Anonymous for their own ends and, in the Brazilian case, how it has appropriated Guy Fawkes mask as a symbol against corruption
O presente trabalho visa a analisar como se estabelecem as relações comunicacionais entre o Coletivo Anonymous e as mídias de massa, como a televisão, rádio e os meios impressos. O Anonymous nasceu como um pequeno grupo de usuários de internet no imageboard 4chan que buscava diversão e, posteriormente, assumiu uma imagem mais séria em busca da liberdade para a troca de informações, liberdade de expressão e livre utilização da internet. Tornou-se um fenômeno midiático resultante em um coletivo de ciberativistas com objetivos pseudo políticos, nem sempre declarados, e se popularizou após receberem os créditos de uma série de ataques virtuais que resultaram na queda de sites governamentais, vazamento de informações confidenciais de pessoas públicas e seqüestro de dados. O objetivo desta pesquisa é (i) demonstrar como a mídia construiu e explorou a imagem de um coletivo que se mobiliza através de redes sociais para organizar protestos concomitantes em diversos lugares do mundo e (ii) explicar como a mídia se utiliza do Anonymous para seus próprios fins, e no caso do Brasil, apropriando-se da máscara de Guy Fawkes como um símbolo de combate à corrupção

Questiona se os periódicos do PPCU possuem características que promovam a visibilidade. Analisa as características que promovem a visibilidade dos periódicos científicos eletrônicos do PPCU, sendo estas: a presença na Web, o acesso aberto, a buscabilidade, o idioma da publicação e a presença em fontes de informação. Caracteriza as revistas da Universidade. Verifica a buscabilidade dos títulos nos mecanismos de busca. Analisa a visibilidade na Internet através da presença nas fontes de informação nas quais estão presentes estas revistas. Classifica as fontes de informação nas quais estão presentes as revistas da Universidade. O referencial teórico aborda os temas: comunicação científica; periódicos científicos; visibilidade e buscabilidade; fontes de informação na Web; bases de dados bibliográficas; e acesso aberto. O estudo tem caráter descritivo e exploratório, combinando dados qualitativos e quantitativos. O corpus da pesquisa foi formado por 34 títulos. Coletaram-se as informações principais sobre as revistas, com ênfase nas características que promovem visibilidade. Foi constatado que as Ciências Humanas é a área que possui maior número de revistas na Universidade, 29,4% do total de publicações. O acesso aberto é adotado por todas as revistas da amostra. As revistas estão avaliadas em maior número nos estratos do Qualis B2 e B3, cerca de 42%. Mapeadas as fontes de informação, foi verificada a maior presença de periódicos na fonte de informação LAPTOC, seguida pela LATINDEX. Apesar da presença pouco expressiva em fontes de informação internacionais, concluiu-se que as revistas pertencentes ao PPCU buscam ampliar as características que promovem a sua visibilidade. Esta pesquisa também sugere uma série de novos estudos, aprofundando as análises, abordando outros temas ligados à visibilidade, em especial estudos bibliométricos.

It discusses if the journals from PPCU have characteristics which promote visibility. It analyses the characteristics which promote visibility of scientific journals from the PPCU, which are: Web presence, open access, searchability, language of the publication and the presence in information sources. It characterises the journals of the University. It verifies the searchability of titles in search engines. It analyses the visibility on Internet through the presence in information sources in which those journals are present. It classifies the information sources in which the journals of the University are present. The theoretical reference addresses the following themes: scientific communication; scientific journals; visibility and searchability; information sources on Web; bibliographic databases and open access. The study is descriptive and exploratory, combining qualitative and quantitative data. The corpus of the research was composed by 34 titles. Essential information about the journals was collected, with emphasis on characteristics which promote visibility. It was found that Human Sciences is the area with the largest number of journals at the University, 29.4% of total publications. Open access is adopted by all journals in the sample. The journals are evaluated in larger numbers in the strata of Qualis B2 and B3, about 42%. Once the information sources had been mapped, the largest presence of journals was found at the information source LAPTOC, followed by LATINDEX. Despite the presence of limited significance in international information sources, it was found that the journals belonging to PPCU aim at widening the characteristics which promote their visibility. It suggests a string of new studies, deepening the analyses, addressing other themes related to visibility and, especially, bibliometric studies.

This research analyzes the relations between communication, consumption and migrations from the study of the production and reception processes of the photographic exhibition "Somos Todos Imigrantes", seeking to understand the frameworks and perceptions surrounding the media visibility and of transnational immigrants in the city of São Paulo. The theoretical framework covers the conceptual field of communication, consumption, citizenship, image, visualities and migrations transnational corporations. The methodology of the research is based on bibliographic research and documentary; observation of production spaces and reception of the photographic exhibition; collection and exposure image analysis; interviews with producers and the immigrant public and not immigrant. The results of the research point to three main dimensions that resulting from the processes of production of the appropriations of the photographic exposure: (1) the recognition of a dominant media visibility that hierarchizes the immigrants and associates them with problem, conflict, poverty; (2) the possibilities of setting up other citizen visions, especially those that uniquely distinguish, without folklore, and favor a humanizing approach with the immigrant Other; and (3) the limits imposed other visibilities in the field of migration that the need for public policies that assure immigrants access to and occupation of both from the media and from the city .
Esta pesquisa analisa as relações entre comunicação, consumo e migrações a partir do estudo dos processos de produção e recepção da exposição fotográfica "Somos Todos Imigrantes", buscando compreender os enquadramentos e percepções em torno da visibilidade midiática e pública dos imigrantes transnacionais na cidade de São Paulo. O referencial teórico abrange o campo conceitual da comunicação, consumo, cidadania, imagem, visualidades e migrações transnacionais. A metodologia da pesquisa fundamenta-se em pesquisa bibliográfica e documental; observação de espaços de produção e recepção da mostra fotográfica; coleta e análise das imagens da exposição; entrevistas com os produtores e com o público imigrante e não imigrante. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam para três dimensões principais que resultam dos processos de produção de das apropriações das imagens fotográficas da exposição: (1) o reconhecimento de uma visibilidade midiática dominante que hierarquiza os imigrantes e os associa a problema, conflito, pobreza; (2) as possibilidades de constituição de outras visibilidades cidadãs, especialmente aquelas que singularizam, sem folclorizar, e favorecem uma aproximação humanizadora com o Outro imigrante; e (3) os limites impostos à produção dessas outras visibilidades no campo das migrações que aparecem associados à necessidade de políticas públicas que assegurem aos imigrantes acesso e ocupação de espaços tanto da mídia quando da cidade.

Abstract:

A sociedade contemporânea, atravessada por tecnologias digitais de comunicação e informação (TDCI), experimenta um período de constantes mudanças nas suas formas de estruturação, organização e também nas suas materialidades, práticas e saberes. Parece haver uma complexificação da dinâmica das disputas simbólicas políticas, implicando em alterações de várias ordens, principalmente nas relações existentes entre campo político, esfera midiática e sociedade, introduzindo novos processos, sociabilidades, atores, grupos etc. Em função disso, este trabalho tem por objetivo compreender como se estabelecem – nas esferas conversacionais dos blogs – as interações simbólicas, e como circulam, nas redes sociais digitais, as opiniões formadas nos embates opinativos e orientadas para a disputa na e pela opinião pública. Para tanto, por meio dos procedimentos metodológicos de análise de conteúdo e de análise de redes sociais, estudamos o episódio de racismo na internet contra os nordestinos, deflagrados pelos comentários da estudante Mayara Petruso logo após as Eleições Presidenciais do Brasil, publicados no dia 1º de novembro de 2010, tanto na plataforma Twitter, quanto no seu perfil do Facebook. Os resultados obtidos pelas análises demonstram uma série de potencialidades de ação proporcionadas pelas TDCI aos indivíduos, que possibilitam redimensionamentos dos capitais simbólicos, da esfera de visibilidade pública, do common, dos habitus individuais/coletivos e também da instância da opinião pública.
Given a context extremely surrounded by digital technologies of communication and information (DTCI), contemporary society is undergoing constant changes in its forms of structuring, organizing, and also in its materiality, practices and knowledge. From this, there seems to be a complexification of the dynamics of symbolic political disputes, resulting in changes of several orders, especially in the relations between the political field, media sphere and society, introducing into it new processes, sociability, actors, groups etc. As a result, this study aims to understand how the symbolic interactions are settled within the blog´s conversational sphere and how opinions formed within blogs circulate in digital social networks, leading to the symbolic dispute of public opinion. To achieve that, methods of content analysis and social networks were applied to study the episode of racism on the Internet against the Northeast Brazilian people, triggered by comments made on the 1st of November of 2010 - both on Twitter and Facebook - by the student Mayara Petruso, right after the presidential elections in Brazil. The results obtained by the analysis show a series of potential actions offered by DTCI to individuals, which enable the resizing of their symbolic capital and also on the realm of public visibility, in the common, in the individual/collective habitus and in the instance of public opinion.

This work intends, in the theoretical perspective of the pos-structuralism, to disclose the scene where the communication is inserted, in the beginning of century XXI, and its connection to the forms of power and culture. Under this prism subjects will be contemplated as emergency of a global capitalism, neoliberalism, future of the socialism, cultural pos-modernity, information society, pos-industrial society, direct visibility, infotecnological society and cybercultural. In this context, we evaluate new practical of the communication of the companies and its relation with the sensible construction of and perceptions on the performance of the corporations in the areas of social and ambient responsibility, with the purpose to observe whether the motor force of the social actions are social responsibility or a new form to add value to the mark. The bibliographical research and the collection of data during the main professional events and conferences on the subject were the reference bases this work. During one year and half, we hear lectures, cases, we read many publications on the area and research on the social action in Brazil and on the profile of the consumer. The analysis of these documents became in a critical evaluation of the practical of the social responsibility in the age of the direct visibility. Perhaps the major contribution of this study is to evaluate in critical way the role of the enterprise communication that, with more or less intensity, collaborates for the development of the relation between capital x work x society, at the moment where the globalization transforms measured them in a easy agent of the submission of the society its economic policy. On the other hand, the communication assessorship starts to serve as strategical tool of the modern business administration, which it tries to persuade the consumer-citizen of whom it acts socially of responsible form, creating a new utopia
A presente Dissertação de Mestrado visa apresentar o cenário em que se insere a comunicação no início do século XXI e a sua vinculação às formas de poder e de cultura. Sob esse prisma, serão contemplados temas como a emergência do capitalismo global, o neoliberalismo, o futuro do socialismo, a pós-modernidade cultural, a sociedade pós-industrial, a visibilidade mediática, a sociedade infotecnológica e a cibercultura. Nesse contexto, avaliamos a nova prática de comunicação das empresas e sua relação com a construção de sentido e de percepções sobre a atuação das corporações nas áreas de responsabilidade social e ambiental, com a finalidade de apurar se a força motivadora das ações sociais é a responsabilidade social ou uma nova forma de agregar valor às marcas. A pesquisa bibliográfica e a coleta de dados, feitas em cotejo com os principais eventos profissionais e conferências sobre o tema, foram a base referencial do trabalho. Durante um ano e meio, ouvimos palestras e cases, e acompanhamos diversas publicações sobre o assunto e pesquisas sobre ação social no Brasil e perfil do consumidor. A análise desses documentos se transformou em uma avaliação crítica da prática da responsabilidade social na era da visibilidade mediática. Nessa perspectiva, a pesquisa pretende contribuir para a avaliação crítica do papel social da comunicação empresarial, que colabora, com maior ou menor intensidade, para o desenvolvimento da relação entre capital, trabalho e sociedade, no momento em que a globalização transforma os media em agentes facilitadores da capitulação da sociedade à política econômica e em que a assessoria de comunicação passa a servir como ferramenta estratégica da moderna administração de empresas, a fim de persuadir o consumidor-cidadão de que ela atua de forma socialmente responsável, criando uma nova utopia

Abstract:

Cette thèse interroge les processus de communication qui autorisent la construction du microcrédit - pratique de prêts à des personnes pauvres - comme cause internationale. Un réseau d’acteurs nommé « Campagne du Sommet du Microcrédit » milite activement pour sa reconnaissance en tant qu’outil de lutte contre la pauvreté. L’étude de ses pratiques et des formes de son discours éclaire les conditions de possibilité logistique et symbolique de la conversion d’une technique financière en cause louable, endossable et universalisable.L’approche communicationnelle de cet objet se formule au croisement de deux axes théoriques qui forment les deux niveaux d’analyse d’un matériau composite - documentaire et ethnographique.Le premier axe concerne la démarche stratégique d’« entrepreneurs de cause » qui défendent une thématique et en accompagnent la trajectoire publique. Il questionne les conditions de la visibilité de la cause et met, ainsi, en évidence les contraintes d’une exigence de visibilité et les normes d’action et de justification qu’elle impose aux acteurs.Le second axe s’attache aux médiations symboliques - formes intercalaires, rémanentes et circulantes - qui incarnent la cause en-Deçà et au-Delà des déclarations d’intention. Il interroge, alors, sa lisibilité en élucidant les régimes de construction de deux figures nécessaires et complémentaires - le micro et le macroentrepreneur - et leurs effets de sens paradoxaux.La thèse confronte donc les « arrière-Pensées » des formes aux intentions stratégiques des acteurs qui les mobilisent et éclaire ainsi la mécanique d’inscription d’une perspective contemporaine du traitement de la pauvreté dans son « ordre de discours »
Microcredit is a widespread financial tool, originally designed to lend small amounts of money to very poor people.This thesis questions the communication processes that enabled its construction as an international cause. Microcredit Summit Campaign is a network of organizations that strongly advocates for the acknowledgement of microcredit as a tool to fight poverty . The study of its practices and the forms of its discourse highlights the logistic and symbolic conditions required for the conversion of a financial theory into a praiseworthy, endorsable and universal cause.Drawing on a discourse and semiotic analysis of documented and ethnographical sources, the communicational approach of this topic links together two theoretical perspectives.On the one hand, it focuses on Microcredit Summit Campaign as a social movement organization and discusses the symbolic constraints imposed by a requirement for visibility in the public sphere. It influences their eligibility as spokeperson, their standards of action and their modes of justification.On the other hand, the thesis questions the legibility of microcredit as a cause. In this perspective, it analyzes the symbolic mediations that allow it to be embodied. To support the analysis, two compatible actors – “microentrepreneur” and “macroentrepreneur” - are strategically used in the discourse. The study of their characteristics reveals a paradoxical symbolic meaning and effect.Thus, the thesis confronts the "ulterior motives" of the semiotic forms used to support the discourse with the strategic intentions. In doing so, it sheds light on how a contemporary perspective on treating poverty is symbolically integrated in its " orders of discourse "

Abstract:

Esta tese estuda a configuração de um acontecimento público ligado ao campo problemático da corrupção, a Satiagraha - operação deflagrada pela Polícia Federal em 2008 que resultou na prisão de personagens conhecidos da sociedade brasileira, e teve sua anulação decidida pelo Superior Tribunal de Justiça em 2011. São marcas deste acontecimento a participação da mídia, com a exclusividade dada a uma equipe de televisão, entre outros envolvimentos; a suspeição, que transforma heróis em vilões e coloca os papéis desempenhados em dúvida; e o engajamento de todos os poderes do Estado, especialmente da Justiça, expondo embates entre instâncias variadas. O acontecimento público é conceituado a partir da visibilidade obtida, dos problemas e temas fundados no interesse público ensejados, da ação pública exigida. Está relacionado a processos de comunicação pública, em que há a mobilização de arenas e a expectativa de regramento por princípios éticos e normativos. Neste quadro, a Satiagraha é reconstituída e analisada através de notícias produzidas por quatro veículos de comunicação (Jornal Nacional/Rede Globo de Televisão, Folha de São Paulo, O Estado de São Paulo, Veja) e por nove fontes institucionais - sites do Ministério da Justiça (MJ), da Agência Brasileira de Inteligência (ABIN), da Justiça Federal de São Paulo (JFSP), do Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ), do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), do Tribunal Regional Federal da 3ª Região (TRF3), do Ministério Público Federal/Procuradoria da República em São Paulo (MPF), da Câmara dos Deputados (CAM), do Senado Federal (SEN), no período entre o deflagrar da operação (08/07/2008) até o mês de abril de 2012 – data arbitrária, definida pela presença de ocorrências sobre o acontecimento, que não encerra neste período. Na reconstituição, é possível perceber que os sentidos inicialmente provocados pela visibilidade dada à operação, a partir da noção de espetacularização/abuso, vão sendo reforçados pelo encadeamento dos temas na narrativa. Com a identificação de marcas de relevância, dos temas, atores e conflitos presentes na narrativa reconstituída, foi possível perceber as trocas de papéis, a disputa em torno de definições e posições sobre interesse público, Estado de Direito e outros valores democráticos, com implicações para as necessidades de accountability e para os processos de comunicação pública. O campo problemático da corrupção parece, diante das questões públicas levantadas, distante da ação pública, como fonte de acontecimentos que revelam os limites de Estado e mídia em sua abordagem.
The present thesis studies the configuration of a public event related to the problem field of corruption, the Satiagraha - a 2008 Brazilian Federal Police operation that brought to prison well-known persons of Brazilian society, and was overturned by the Superior Court of Justice in 2011. This public event is characterized by (1) the media involvement, with exclusivity given to one TV team, among other involvements; (2) the suspicion, turning heroes in villains and bringing doubt to the roles of participants; and (3) the participation of all branches of state power, especially Justice, revealing the clash between government levels. This public event is conceptualized considering the visibility achieved, the problems and issues of public concern caused, and the public action required. It is related to public communication processes, where there are mobilization of arenas and expectation of ethic and normative -based rules. In this context, Satiagraha is rebuild and analyzed considering reports of four media (Jornal Nacional/ Rede Globo television, Folha de São Paulo and O Estado de São Paulo newspapers; and Veja magazine) and nine government sources - websites of the Ministry of Justice, the Brazilian Intelligence Agency, the Federal Justice of São Paulo State, the Superior Court of Justice, the Federal Supreme Court, the Federal Regional Court of the 3rd Region, the Ministério Público Federal(Public Prosecutor’s Office) , the House of Representatives, and the Federal Senate - during the period between operation beginning (08/07/2008) until April 2012 – an arbitrary date, defined by the presence of occurrences of the event, which doesn’t end during this period. In the reconstitution, it is possible to realize that the senses initially triggered by the visibility given to the operation (from the notion of spetacularization/abuse) are reinforced by the linkage of the themes along the narrative. From the identification of relevance marks, themes, actors and conflicts present in the reconstituted narrative, it was possible to perceive role changes, the dispute over definitions and positions on public interest, Rule of Law and other democratic values, with implications to accountability needs and to the processes of public communication. Before the public issues risen, the problem field of corruption seems to be distant from public action as a source of events that reveal the limits of State and Media in their approach.

The research examines the enunciation mechanisms from which the identity of the French shoe brand Christian Louboutin is constructed and how it produces experiences from the body that wears the shoes and, thus, feels the contact between them. We equally investigate how this relationship results in a prescriptive way of being in the social. To this end, the chosen corpus includes models of women s shoes, regarded as discursive arrangements. The work consisted in analyzing plastically the shoes by its individualizing traits, in order to grasp what are the values and the strategies chosen by the addresser in the construction of its identity and visibility. For this step, we take from the French semiotics conceived by Algirdas-Julien Greimas the theoretical framework. Using the generative process of meaning and the axiological, narrative and discursive levels, we explain the construction meaning mechanisms of the brand Christian Louboutin and its strategic convincing procedures through manipulative seduction, as well as notions of figurativity and isotopy, in relation to plastic and semantics analysis which receive the conceptual subsidies from Jean-Marie Floch. We also consider the study of interactions between body and fashion presented by Ana Claudia Oliveira and, finally, the postulates of Eric Landowski of a sensitive semiotics and the meaning regimen, built in interaction. The hypothesis is that the act of the body wearing the shoe, the identity projection sustained by the brand evokes a way of being in the world based on the distinction of the body, whose reconfigured posture by wearing Louboutin shoes, allows the user the right to belong and enjoy the benefits of a select and important dominant group, social, economic, cultural and financially. The examination of the corpus shows how the know-how of the creations conceived in Paris, and produced by hand in Italy, edify, by the discourses Christian Louboutin , Made in Italy and Paris , the French system of numbering of shoes, the angulation of the shank, the tall, thin heel, the materiality of leather, metal and lacquer and the chromaticism of red and gold, distinctive attributes to those who bear it in the feet and have it completely repositioned from the imposed body's way of walking. Through brand identity, we conclude that while a subject that donates competence, provides the body a stereotypical female role in the world, whose performance is regulated by belonging to a particular aesthetic and cultural taste recognized symbolically
A pesquisa examina a partir de que mecanismos de enunciação a identidade da marca francesa de sapatos Christian Louboutin é construída e como ela produz sentidos pelo corpo-calçado que sente esse contato. Investigamos igualmente como essa relação resulta em um modo prescritivo de ser e estar no social. Para tal, o corpus eleito abarca modelos dos sapatos femininos, considerados enquanto arranjos discursivos. O trabalho consistiu em analisar plasticamente os calçados pelos traços individualizantes, a fim de apreender quais são os valores e as estratégias escolhidos pelo destinador na construção de suas identidade e visibilidade. Na realização desta etapa, tomamos da semiótica francesa concebida por Algirdas-Julien Greimas o arcabouço teórico. Utilizando o percurso gerativo do sentido e os patamares dos níveis axiológico, narrativo e discursivo, explicamos os mecanismos da construção do sentido da marca Christian Louboutin e os procedimentos estratégicos de convencimento pela manipulação por sedução, assim como as noções de figuratividade e isotopia, em relação à análise plástica e semântica que recebem os subsídios conceituais de Jean-Marie Floch. Também consideramos os estudos das interações entre corpo e moda apresentados por Ana Claudia de Oliveira e, finalmente, os postulados de Eric Landowski de uma semiótica sensível e dos regimes de sentido construídos na interação. A hipótese é de que no ato do corpo-calçado, a projeção identitária alicerçada pela marca evoca um modo de ser e estar no mundo fundamentado na distinção do corpo, cuja postura reconfigurada pelos sapatos Louboutin confere ao usuário o direito de pertencer e usufruir das benesses de um seleto e importante grupo social dominante, econômica, cultural e financeiramente. O exame do corpus mostra como o saber-fazer das criações concebidas em Paris e, artesanalmente fabricadas na Itália, edificam, pelos enunciados Christian Louboutin , Made in Italy e Paris , o sistema francês de numeração de calçados, a angulação do enfranque, o salto alto e fino, a materialidade do couro, do metal e da laca e o cromatismo do vermelho e do dourado, atributos de distinção àquelas que o portam nos pés e têm o corpo inteiramente reposicionado a partir da maneira de andar imposta. Por meio da identidade da marca, concluímos que enquanto sujeito competencializador, confere ao corpo feminino um papel estereotipado, cuja atuação no mundo é regulada pelo pertencimento a um determinado gosto estético e cultural reconhecido simbolicamente

Abstract:

10 ans après l’émergence des plates formes socio-collaboratives numériques, leur usage peine à se déployer dans les environnements professionnels, malgré les gains d’efficacité qu’elles permettent, malgré la proximité des outils avec les applications locales traditionnelles, malgré les efforts d’investissement, notamment dans des prestations qui ne parviennent pas à pérenniser les usages. Ce travail démontre qu'une nouvelle forme de visibilité induite par le partage, qui fonde la collaboration numérique, peut être un frein ou un levier à l'adoption, et qu’il convient de l’objectiver dans la démarche ; il approfondit la connaissance du paradigme collaboratif, en propose une typologie des usages fondée sur leur valeur intrinsèque et sociale, une méthodologie d'adoption orientée vers la transformation locale des pratiques professionnelles quotidiennes (Get Collaboration Done!™), ainsi qu'un indicateur de la « valeur » du comportement collaboratif, qui prend la forme d'un indice déterminé selon des modalités algorithmiques (Collaboration-Index™)
10 years after digital socio-collaborative platforms have released, it appears their use is still not generalized, not taken for granted ; the integration in professional environments seems difficult, despite the promise of efficiencies, despite the proximity of tools with traditional local office applications, despite the efforts particularly in consulting services which fail to perpetuate uses. This work demonstrates that a new form of visibility induced by sharing, which is the foundation of digital collaboration, can be a brake or a leverage for adoption, and that it should be taken into account in the change process; It also contributes to the knowledge of the collaborative paradigm by proposing a typology of uses based on their intrinsic and social value, an adoption methodology geared towards the local transformation of daily work practices (Get Collaboration Done!™), And an indicator of the “Value” of the collaborative behavior, which is figurated (and calculated) by an index determined according to algorithmic modalities (Collaboration-Index™)

Abstract:

Ce mémoire porte sur l’(in)visibilité des couples féminins dans les lieux publics en Estrie et tente de pallier au manque de recherches universitaires sur les femmes de la communauté LGBTQIA+ au Québec, femmes souvent mises à l’écart dans les recherches universitaires et gouvernementales. Subissant une double discrimination, soit celle d’être femme et de ne pas être hétérosexuelle, ces femmes offrent, dans ce mémoire, leurs histoires de vie et parlent de leurs réalités de couple de même sexe qui sont des plus intéressantes et importantes à comprendre. Dans le cadre de cette recherche exploratoire, j’ai réalisé neuf entretiens compréhensifs individuels, de type récit de vie, avec des femmes estriennes de 25 à 35 ans qui s’identifient comme lesbiennes ou pansexuelles. Elles étaient toutes en couple avec une femme au moment des entretiens. À travers ces entretiens, j’ai tenté de comprendre leur relation avec leur conjointe ainsi qu’avec les individus présents dans les lieux publics qu’elles fréquentent. Comment interagissent-elles lorsqu’elles sont en couple? Le présupposé d’homophobie plus présent dans les régions hors des grands centres urbains du Québec a-t-il des effets sur leur présence dans les lieux publics? À partir de théories féministes, d’aspects de la communication interpersonnelle et de la dramaturgie sociale d’Erving Goffman, j’ai dégagé certains éléments caractéristiques des couples féminins en Estrie. Premièrement, il semble que la communication non verbale soit privilégiée par les couples ne désirant pas que leur orientation sexuelle soit visible dans les lieux publics. Deuxièmement, plusieurs femmes interrogées souhaitent rendre invisibles les signes de leur orientation sexuelle et du lien qu’elles ont avec leur conjointe, alors que d’autres ne s’inquiètent aucunement d’être visibles. Troisièmement, la présentation de soi est un élément très important pour les femmes de cette recherche, tantôt pour se faire reconnaître comme lesbienne, tantôt pour éviter les stéréotypes accolés aux femmes LGBTQIA+, tantôt comme moyen d’être acceptées. Enfin, il est important de rendre compte des craintes que plusieurs participantes disent avoir lorsqu’elles sont avec leur conjointe dans les lieux publics estriens. Bien que présentant des expériences et des portraits différents, toutes les femmes interrogées souhaitent une société plus ouverte aux différences, où toutes les personnes de la diversité sexuelle et de genre pourront vivre pleinement et sans crainte.

Abstract:

La communication dans les réseaux de véhicules (VANET) est une composante importante des systèmes de transport intelligent (ITS) permettant à un véhicule de communiquer avec d'autres, même s'ils ne sont pas dans le même voisinage. L'utilisation des communications dans ce genre de réseau permet d'améliorer la sécurité routière ainsi que le confort du conducteur et des passagers. Cependant, les VANET sont caractérisés par la forte mobilité des nœuds, la forte dynamique et la spécificité de la topologie. Ces propriétés offrent des challenges importants tels l'accès au canal et le routage des informations. Dans cette thèse, nous traitons la communication dans les réseaux de véhicules pour que celle-ci soit appliquée à la pré-visibilité de route. Nous commençons par l'étude de l'adéquation de la norme IEEE 802. 11 aux VANET, et ce, afin de prototyper nos solutions avec cette norme. En parallèle, nous étudions l'équité dans une chaîne d'émetteurs. Ensuite, nous analysons les solutions de routage dans les VANET, où nous présentons une nouvelle taxonomie orientée usage. Par la suite, nous proposons une nouvelle approche de routage dans les VANET, dans laquelle les véhicules communiquent à travers des conditions au lieu d'utiliser un adressage classique. La connaissance de l'environnement routier permet d'optimiser les communications en adaptant les conditions de retransmissions, à travers l'existence d'une structure stable. Pour cet usage, nous proposons un algorithme de détection de cette structure, représentée par un convoi. Enfin, nous intégrons nos solutions dans nos deux plateformes : embarquée et sous un simulateur de réseaux
The communication in vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is an important component of the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) allowing a vehicle to communicate with others, even if they are not in the same neighbourhood. The use of communications in this type of network allows to improve the road safety as well as comfort of the driver and passengers. However, VANET behaves fundamentally different from the traditional ad hoc network, that it is characterized for high mobility and rapidly changing topology. Thus, the important challenges appear such the access to the channel and information routing. In this thesis, we deal with communication in vehicular network so that this one is applied to roads foreseeing. We start by studying the adequacy of IEEE 802. 11 standard in VANET, in order to prototype our solutions with this standard. In parallel, we study the fairness in chain of senders. Then, we analyse the routing solutions in VANET, where we propose a new taxonomy of routing protocols based on the use-cases; applications requirement and road environnement are taken into account. After, we propose a new approach of routing in VANET, in which vehicles communicate through conditions instead of to use an addressing. The knowledge of road environment allows to optimize communications by adapting the conditions of retransmissions, through the existence of a stable structure. For this usage, we propose an algorithm of detection of this structure, represented by a convoy. Finally, we implement these solutions in our two platforms: embedded and with the network simulator

Abstract:

We are currently experiencing a rapid development of quantum information, a new branch of science, being an interdisciplinary of quantum physics, information theory, telecommunications, computer science, and many others. This new science branch was born in the middle of the eighties, developed rapidly during the nineties, and in the current decade has brought a technological breakthrough in creating secure quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum secret sharing, and exciting promises in diverse technological fields. Recent QKD experiments have achieved high rate QKD at 200 km distance in optical fiber. Significant QKD results have also been achieved in free-space. Due to the rapid broadband access deployment in many industrialized countries and the standing increasing transmission security treats, the natural development awaiting quantum communications, being a part of quantum information, is its migration into commercial switched telecom networks. Such a migration concerns both multiuser quantum key distribution and multiparty quantum secret sharing that have been the main goal of my PhD studies. They are also the main concern of the thesis. Our research efforts in multiuser QKD has led to a development of the five-user setup for transmissions over switched fiber networks in a star and in a tree configuration. We have achieved longer secure quantum information distances and implemented more nodes than other multi-user QKD experiments. The measurements have shown feasibility of multiuser QKD over switched fiber networks, using standard fiber telecom components. Since circular architecture networks are important parts of both intranets and the Internet, Sagnac QKD has also been a subject of our research efforts. The published experiments in this area have been very few and results were not encouraging, mainly due to the single mode fiber (SMF) birefringence. Our research has led to a development of a computer controlled birefringence compensation in Sagnac that open the door to both classical and quantum Sagnac applications. On the quantum secret sharing side, we have achieved the first quantum secret sharing experiment over telecom fiber in a five-party implementation using the "plug & play" setup and in a four-party implementation using Sagnac configuration. The setup measurements have shown feasibility and scalability of multiparty quantum communication over commercial telecom fiber networks.

Abstract:

The research aims at investigate the production process of the video |Mulheres Mangabeiras| (mangaba pickers women) in order to verify whether and how there was use of participatory methods. This is a qualitative and descriptive research, based on methodological procedures such as literature review and data collection through open interviews. Data analysis layed upon extracts from women speeches, which contains indicators about their involvement in ex tractive production, as well as their perceptions about public visibility and empowerment offered by the video production. The results show that mangabeiras were protagonists in a kind of participatory communication, pointing to the potential of participatory processes in audiovisual production as a reaffirmation of individual and collective identities, which also brings out critical mind, dialogue promotion and a conflict management tool.
A pesquisa tem como objeto a investigação do processo produção do vídeo "Mulheres Mangabeiras", visando verificar se e como houve emprego de métodos participativos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, de natureza descritiva, tendo como procedimentos metodológicos a revisão bibliográfica e a pesquisa de campo através de entrevistas abertas. A análise dos dados, realizada a partir de extratos de indicadores nas falas, buscou verificar o tipo de participação dessas extrativistas na produção, bem como suas percepções acerca da visibilidade pública e das ações de empoderamento proporcionadas pelo vídeo. Os resultados demonstram que as mangabeiras foram protagonistas de um tipo de comunicação participativa, apontando para as potencialidades dos processos participativos na produção audiovisual enquanto ferramenta de reafirmação de identidades individuais e coletivas, reflexão crítica, promoção de diálogo e administração de conflitos.

Abstract:

This qualitative study investigates the incorporation of female empowerment discourses in Swedish lifestyle influencer Bianca Ingrosso’s YouTube vlogs. The aim of the study is to gain a better understanding of what it means to be a feminist in the current Swedish media moment, where the influencer industry is a commonly found subject for debates concerning the tensions between feminism and postfeminism. By critically analyzing the postfeminist expressions of female empowerment in influencers’ social media presence, the study problematizes the neoliberal feminism embraced by influencers like Ingrosso, whose feminist alignment mainly appears in promotional content for beauty and fashion products. A critical discourse analysis is performed, utilizing Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional model, in order to examine the ways in which Ingrosso utilizes and reinforces postfeminist discourses in her role as influencer. The study is performed through a feminist perspective, supported by feminist and postfeminist literature, using feminist media theory and field theory complemented by theory on gender and erotic capitals to examine the material. The analysis show that Ingrosso, through the social and financial capital that she holds as an influencer in a feminized space, is empowered. The postfeminist discourse allows her to maintain an influential position, as her physical attributes and encouragement of hegemonic femininity through consumption align with the neoliberal gender norms and expectations that structure the advertisement field in which influencers function. However, as it is the capitalist structures that allow influencer like Ingrosso to commodify their social media presence, the female empowerment that she promotes is in no way contributing to the efforts of the feminist movement.

Abstract:

This dissertation deals with the problematic of the free space optical link availability determination. For the presumption of the free space optical link unavailability we have to know statistical distribution of the atmospheric attenuations. In this work is also presented the measurement of these atmospheric attenuations with the specially designed optical link. Measurement is using switching of the two separate transmitters with wavelengths of 830 nm and 1550 nm. Presented statistic distribution let us determine the suitability of the link in the chosen locality during its design. Comparison of our measurement with other models like model based on the meteorological visibility is also presented. The last part of this work is focused on the preconditions for the hi-speed network bit error rate determination. Sample of the bit error rate measurement obtained by our designed bit error rate tester is attached.

Abstract:

Cooperative wireless communication is an attractive technique to explore the spatial channel resources by coordination across multiple links, which can greatly improve the communication performance over single links. In this dissertation, we study the cooperative multi-link channel properties by geometric approaches in body area networks (BANs) and cellular networks respectively.

In the part of BANs, the dynamic narrowband on-body channels under body motions are modeled statistically on their temporal and spatial fading based on anechoic and indoor measurements. Common body scattering is observed to form inter-link correlation between links closely distributed and between links having synchronized movements of communication nodes. An analytical model is developed to explain the physical mechanisms of the dynamic body scattering. The on-body channel impacts to simple cooperation protocols are evaluated based on realistic measurements.

In the part of cellular networks, the cluster-level multi-link COST 2100 MIMO channel model is developed with concrete modeling concepts, complete parameterization and implementation methods, and a compatible structure for both single-link and multi-link scenarios. The cluster link-commonness is introduced to the model to describe the multi-link properties. The multi-link impacts by the model are also evaluated in a distributed MIMO system by comparing its sum-rate capacity at different ratios of cluster link-commonness.

Abstract:

This work emerged from the interest in studying the increasing use of information and communication tools available on the Internet for strengthening the political activism online and offline. To verify the characteristics and specificities of this new type of collective action and its relation to the question of mediatic visibility, we have chosen as the empirical object the electronic discussion group LGBT National Alliance, created by the Brazilian Association of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transvestite and Transgender (ABGLT), which has articulated and consolidated the largest LGBT network in Latin America. The comprehension of the functioning mode of this network and its strategic actions required the theoretical and conceptual supply of social networks, collective action, repertories of action and mediatic visibility applied to the practices of interaction and communication of LGBT movements observable both in digital platforms as well as offline activities. Due to the specificities of this object, the empirical study was based on two complementary methodological approaches: content analysis and virtual ethnography. The first one guided the structural analysis and the analysis of the discussion group dynamics, as well as data collection on topics that motivated larger participation, which concentrated on the years 2012 and 2013. The second one based the online participant observation of performances in the network and semistructured interviews carried out with members from all regions of the country. From these procedures, it was selected four representative case studies of the two main paradigmatic axes identified as the guidelines of the activism of the network: the political-institutional antagonism (conflicts with the evangelical countertop); and the mediatic antagonism (conflicts with traditional media). Among the conclusions of the research are: the repertories of action (on network, mediatic, cyberactivists) emerge as strengthening tactics of political activism, aiming at expanding its reverberation in public debate and in the political sphere; the search for mediatic visibility is an imbricated strategy in activist actions which covers the |intermedia| mobilizations on digital platforms and recurrent attempts of guiding journalistic vehicles; online and offline articulations, mobilizations and interventions are correlated and can be started either in spaces of mediated interaction as in the traditional political spaces and vice versa; the mobilization of occasional activists and other informal partners is a strategic practice to visualize and reinforce the mechanisms of pressure; the discussion group is potentially more active in civil conversations for purposes of exchanging information, conjuncture analysis, specialized consulting, planning and evaluation of actions; cyberactivism is notably more successful in situations in which the Internet plays a relevant role in the dissemination of alternative informative channels for the collective awareness and engagement; the association of political activism to a number of mediatic repertories, online and networked has contributed to increasing public visibility, the set of alliances and the support of society around anti-homophobia struggles in the country.
O presente trabalho surgiu do interesse em investigar a crescente utilização das ferramentas de informação e comunicação disponíveis na Internet para o fortalecimento do ativismo político online e off-line. Para verificar as características e as especificidades desse novo tipo de ação coletiva e sua relação com a questão da visibilidade midiática, escolhemos como objeto empírico o grupo de discussão eletrônico Aliança Nacional LGBT, criado pela Associação Brasileira de Lésbicas, Gays, Bissexuais, Travestis e Transexuais (ABGLT), que articulou e consolidou a maior rede LGBT da América Latina. A compreensão do modo de funcionamento dessa rede e de suas ações estratégicas exigiu o aporte teórico-conceitual das redes sociais, da ação coletiva, dos repertórios de ação e da visibilidade midiática, aplicados às práticas de interação e comunicação dos movimentos LGBT observáveis tanto no âmbito das plataformas digitais quanto na atuação off-line. Em razão das especificidades desse objeto, o estudo empírico apoiou-se em duas abordagens metodológicas complementares: a análise de conteúdo e a etnografia virtual. A primeira orientou a análise estrutural e da dinâmica do grupo de discussão, assim como a coleta de dados nos tópicos que motivaram maior participação, os quais se concentraram nos anos de 2012 e 2013. A segunda embasou a observação participante online das atuações na rede e as entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com membros de todas as regiões do país. A partir desses procedimentos, foram selecionados quatro estudos de caso representativos dos dois principais eixos paradigmáticos identificados como norteadores do ativismo da rede: o antagonismo político-institucional (embates com a bancada evangélica); e o antagonismo midiático (embates com a mídia tradicional). Entre as conclusões da pesquisa estão: os repertórios de ação (em rede, midiáticos, ciberativistas) surgem como táticas de reforço do ativismo político, visando ampliar a sua reverberação no debate público e na esfera política; a busca pela visibilidade midiática é uma estratégia imbricada nas ações ativistas que abrange as mobilizações intermídia nas plataformas digitais e as tentativas recorrentes de pautar os veículos jornalísticos; as articulações, mobilizações e intervenções online e off-line estão correlacionadas, podendo ser iniciadas tanto nos espaços de interação mediada quanto nos espaços políticos tradicionais e vice-versa; a mobilização de ativistas ocasionais e demais parceiros informais é uma prática estratégica para visibilizar e reforçar os mecanismos de pressão; o grupo de discussão é potencialmente mais ativo nas conversações civis para fins de troca de informações, análise de conjuntura, consulta especializada, planejamento e avaliação de ações; o ciberativismo é notadamente mais bem-sucedido nas situações em que a Internet exerce um papel relevante na disseminação de canais informativos alternativos para a conscientização e o engajamento coletivos; a associação do ativismo político a uma série de repertórios midiáticos, online e em rede tem contribuído para ampliar a visibilidade pública, o conjunto de alianças e o apoio da sociedade em torno das lutas anti-homofobia no país.

Abstract:

Cette thèse analyse les présupposés sur la communication qui gouvernaient les discours et les pratiques politiques au Chili pendant l’âge des révolutions (1808-1830). Le texte est divisé en deux parties. La première est consacrée à l’analyse des mécaniques de la publicité. On y démontre que la publicité était d’abord associée à la visibilité, ce qui se traduisait par des pratiques destinées à attester des réalités invisibles. Elle était aussi définie suivant un principe de propagation, dont les mécanismes principaux étaient l’imitation et la contagion. Mais l’espace public était aussi un espace de révélation et de circulation de la vérité, problème qui est abordé dans la seconde partie de ce texte. Pour les contemporains, la publicité est le lieu d’une lutte permanente entre des vérités concurrentielles. En même temps, le faux hantait constamment le système politique, déterminant les sujets qui devaient être exclus de toute participation politique, et donnant lieu à la crainte que le peuple souverain puisse tomber sous l’influence du mensonge. Finalement, la vérité devait aussi être correctement mise en circulation, comme le montre l’étude de l’espace théâtral. Lieu où la vérité devait être transmise au public, le théâtre devait être réformé pour le hisser à la hauteur de sa mission civilisatrice. En même temps, toutes les médiations qui opéraient à l’intérieur de l’institution théâtrale devaient être contrôlées, pour assurer la transmission de la vérité. Pris dans leur ensemble, ces problèmes permettent d’expliciter la manière par laquelle les contemporains comprenaient le rapport entre politique et communication
This dissertation studies the communicative pre-assumptions underlying political discourses and practices in Chile during the Age of Revolution (1808-1830). It is divided in two parts. The first one is dedicated to the analysis of publicity’s mechanics. It is demonstrated that publicity was primarily associated with visibility. This connection informed social practices meant to prove invisible realities. Publicity was also defined as a principle of propagation, whose main mechanisms were imitation and contagion. But the public sphere was also associated with the revelation of truth, as it is shown in the second part of this dissertation. For contemporaries, publicity was a place of constant struggle between competitive truths. At the same time, falseness constantly haunted the political system, being the mark of those that were to be excluded from political participation, and instilling fear among political actors that the sovereign people may also fall under its influence. Finally, truth was also supposed to be correctly transmitted, as it can be seen in the case of theater. As a place where truth had to be enunciated, theater had to be reformed in order to make it worthy of its civilizing mission. At the same time, to make sure that truth was correctly transmitted to spectators, all the mediations between them and the play had to be controlled. Taken as a whole, all these elements clarify how contemporaries understood the relationship between politics and communication

Abstract:

Low Intensity Conflict (LIC) is a significant feature of the contemporary world and it is a particular challenge to the armed forces of many states which are involved is such conflict, or are likely to become so. This thesis is not concerned with how such difficult conflict situations arise. Rather it is concerned with how, from the point of view of the state, they may be contained and ultimately brought to a satisfactory resolution. The work is thus concerned with the practicalities of ending LIC. More specifically, the purpose of this research is to establish a framework of doctrinal and military principles applicable to the prevention and resolution of LIC. The principles of this thesis are based in numerous historical examples of LIC and six in depth case studies. These distilled principles are analysed in two central chapters, and are then applied in two latter defence force chapters so as to ensure there practicality and resilience. Numerous defence academics and military practitioners have been consulted in the production of this thesis; their contribution has further reinforced the functionality of the principles examined in this research. The research illustrates the criticality of a holistic approach to LIC. The function of this approach is to guarantee the stability of the sovereign state, by unifying civil, police, intelligence and military services. The effectiveness of the military elements must also be ensured, as military force is central to the suppression of LIC. Consequently, the research makes strategic and operational prescriptions, so as to improve the capability of defence forces that are concerned with preventing or resolving LIC.

Abstract:

Ce mémoire s'intéresse au phénomène du va-et-vient professionnel entre les médias et la politique et particulièrement aux anciens journalistes qui ont fait le saut en politique au Québec. On croit que ce rapprochement entre les deux professions a pour cause la médiatisation croissante de la vie politique. Pour s'adapter à ce nouveau contexte, les formations politiques ont dorénavant besoin d'acteurs politiques qui maîtrisent la logique des médias afin de contrôler le message et l'ordre du jour politique. On cherche donc à examiner, par le biais d'une analyse de contenu de 2159 articles publiés dans la presse écrite, si les anciens journalistes politiques ont été en mesure d'obtenir plus de visibilité et une couverture plus positive dans le cadre des élections provinciales de 2007, 2008, 2012 et 2014 par rapport à d'autres candidats ayant eu un cheminement professionnel différent. Au final, on a démontré que le statut d'ancien journaliste politique a procuré une couverture médiatique plus abondante, mais pas plus positive que les autres candidats.
This thesis investigates the professional relationship between media and politics in Quebec and, precisely, the case of former journalists that seek a political candidacy. We propose that the increasing mediatization of politics is the cause behind this phenomena. In this context, political parties need to recruit political actors who master the media logic, because we assume that this ability leads to a better control of both the message and agenda setting. Concretely, we investigate whether former political journalists are able to gain more visibility and a more positive media coverage in comparison to other candidates with a different professional pathway. We explore this proposal through a content analysis of 2159 newspaper articles during the Quebec provincial elections of 2007, 2008, 2012 and 2014. The results demonstrate that former political journalists are able to gain more visibility than other candidates, but not a more positive coverage.

Abstract:

The feminist movement is one with an extensive historical background, brought into the political agenda in different forms, through waves associated with the priorities and claims of the movement in its actuation. Experiencing the fourth wave of the feminist movement, it becomes of relevance to understand the resemblances and changes in the way feminists organise and communicate in a connective society. In this society, where an international movement such as feminism operates, it is essential to think critically on the relationship between the social movement and its online characteristics with visibility and vocabulary. This dissertation aims to reflect critically on the appearance of feminist related popular culture objects, specifically t-shirts with feminist messages, to understand which factors validate those objects as a way of political communication.
O movimento feminista tem um extenso histórico, inserido na agenda política de diferentes formas, através de vagas associadas às prioridades e reivindicações do movimento na forma como atua. Testemunhando a quarta vaga do movimento feminista, torna-se relevante compreender as semelhanças e mudanças na maneira como feministas se organizam e comunicam numa sociedade conetiva. Nesta sociedade, onde um movimento internacional como o feminismo opera, é essencial pensar criticamente sobre a relação do movimento social e as suas características de visibilidade e vocabulário online. Esta dissertação visa refletir criticamente sobre o aparecimento de objetos na cultura popular relacionados ao movimento feminista, mais especificamente t-shirts com mensagens feministas, no sentido de compreender quais fatores validam esses objetos enquanto meios de comunicação política.

Abstract:

Depuis sa création, en 2004, le réseau social Facebook a reçu une attention médiatique dont l’ampleur est phénoménale. Avec des millions d’utilisateurs à son actif, le site est aussi devenu, dans certains milieux, presqu’incontournable. Malgré les appels à la prudence et à la vigilance dans l’utilisation de Facebook qui se multiplient – notamment concernant des enjeux de surveillance et de protection de la vie privée – nombre d’utilisateurs continuent d’y archiver des contenus, dont les photographies personnelles constituent une part importante. Ce mémoire propose d’explorer dans quelle mesure les pratiques associées à la photographie personnelle pourraient être comprises dans les processus de formation d’« éthiques de l’existence » (Foucault, 1984a; 1984b). Ces éthiques proposent aux individus des codes de conduite et des ensembles de valeurs à partir desquels le sujet s’adonne à un travail sur lui-même et se constitue en être « éthique » menant une existence « esthétique » (idem). Le terrain a pris la forme de séries de rencontres effectuées auprès de trois participantes. À la lumière de leurs pratiques photographiques, je suggère d’envisager la photographie personnelle comme un lieu où s’effectue la mise en oeuvre de techniques de soi. J’avance que de tels procédés favorisent la production d’un sujet se comprenant comme unifié et cohérent, tout comme ils participent à l’esthétisation de ce sujet et de son existence.
Since Facebook was first launched, in 2004, the social network has received a tremendous amount of media coverage. Today, as users are counted by millions, Facebook now seems to have become, in certain circles, totally ubiquitous. Despite growing numbers of warnings for caution in the uses of Facebook – which are frequently associated to privacy or surveillance issues – many users keep uploading content, such as personal photographs, on the social network. This thesis aims to explore the extent to which practices of personal photography may be involved in the formations of what Michel Foucault termed "ethics of the self" (Foucault, 1984a; 1984b). These ethics provide individuals with values, guidelines and codes of conduct from which the subject can engage in the production of his self as an "ethic" being, living an "aesthetic" life (idem). Research was supported with a series of interviews conducted with three volunteers. In the light of their photographic practices, I assert that it is possible to understand personal photography as a fertile site where techniques of the self can be made and elaborated. I suggest that through personal photography, these processes encourage the production of a united and consistent subject, and that these practices also contribute to the aestheticisation of the subject as well as its existence.
