Título: Estruturas elementares do cinema documental político indígena no Brasil Autor(es): Falcão, Christiane R. C. Primeiro Orientador: Serafim, José Francisco Abstract: In the history of contact between indigenous populations and Western society, contemporary times are marked by the indigenous appropriation of non-indigenous technologies with the purpose of claiming human rights and denouncing the violence that has marked this relation since at least 1500 in Brazil. With the processes of retaking territories and representation policies, indigenous peoples currently operate audiovisual apparatuses as tools of struggle. This thesis derives from research on indigenous documentary cinema, in which we analyzed three episodes of the series Maracá (2020), produced by the Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil (APIB): Plano de Cura, A Mãe do Brasil é Indígena and Ancestralidade. The series was produced and launched during the pandemic period (2020-2021), as part of the strategy to mobilize resources for emergency actions to assist indigenous communities in that difficult historical moment. Starting from the recognition of the need for a critical approach to Western epistemologies, theories and concepts used to systematize the experience of contact with indigenous peoples, in which debates about ethics and colonialism are intertwined, here we seek to shift such patterns towards an intercultural encounter in that the indigenous perspective and epistemologies are in evidence, destabilizing concepts of authorship and authority. Using a framework and contextual analysis of the relations between national society and indigenous peoples in Brazil, we arrive at similarities between Cinema Studies and Anthropology, disciplines deeply involved in the process of documenting and disseminating knowledge about indigenous peoples. In this way, we adopt an epistemological foundation for research on indigenous documentary films considering the political context and the ideas of Culture, identity and representation. With the proposal of an intercultural encounter, in this research we analyze the filmic elements that constitute documentary films in dialogue with classical analytical categories of Anthropology to subvert them to indigenous ways of representation and production of knowledge with a critical approach. From the analysis of the films, three approach lenses emerged: 1 – The incompatibility of the Nature and Culture dichotomy in the indigenous way of filming and telling stories; 2 – The story taken up by the indigenous movement, subverting the point of view of indigenous documentaries; 3 – Seniority and kinship as models of sociability on shot and reverse shot. We conclude from this intercultural encounter that the indigenous political documentary film mobilizes universes that are multiple and transversal with a focus on denouncing historical violations of rights and arguing about other possible worlds.

Título: Vigilância como valor moral no jornalismo brasileiro Autor(es): Queiroz, Caio Cardoso de Primeiro Orientador: Dalmonte, Edson Fernando Abstract: The thesis investigates the current network of professional journalistic values in Brazil, seeking to understand the role of surveillance in this ethical framework. From the perception of the press' monitoring and tracking practices over the other power spheres as well as the new social interaction dynamics in online platforms, we analyze these actions' conversion into a core moral value for Brazilian journalism nowadays. In a theoretical level, we established a flow supported in three large basic foundations to this phenomenon: firstly, a wide approach on the moral philosophy frameworks to the journalistic activity; second, we reflect on the conditions of surveillance and power currently; the third discussion focuses in the circulation and hybridization dynamics observation as a space of disputes for the moral values. We realized a case study to assess the insertion of surveillance as a professional moral value in journalism, bringing the ethical analysis of one 2016-2020 representative journalistic coverage at the end of each chapter. The first production series analyzed is part of the "Xadrez do golpe" from Luis Nassif's blog, adding up to 104 posts. The second journalistic coverage is the #VazaJato scandal, with 98 posts at the beginning of 2020, started by The Intercept Brazil. The last analyzed frame is divided into two moments, with the first based on the Globo's critiques to interviews of senator Flavio Bolsonaro to Record and RedeTV. The second part is the questioning regarding the disappearance of the same senator's last name in media, made by social media users a few months later. The research methodology was built from methods that combined exploratory and data gathering stages with its latest codifications with the help of Atlas.ti software. After identifying codes associated with journalistic moral values in each one of the posts, we elaborated a network with moral ideals from which we could understand the most recurrent values, as well as its articulations and meanings. From that, we applied an analysis tool adapted from a Stephen Ward (2015) reflection so we can understand which ethical narratives are in question, and how they are articulated with surveillance. The results show the importance of noticing main aspects of the collective development of journalistic principles and deontological values nowadays, considering disputes that take place that professionals, vehicles, institutions, and the audience take, purposing new approaches to journalism in social media platforms. This way, we noticed that surveillance is at the core in the current journalistic activity valuing network, not only as of the most frequently mentioned normative value, but also as the most required moral guide to justify instrumental values in journalism, such as transparency and independence, for instance.

Título: “Eu como trans eu não existo!”: formatação, visibilidade e exclusão de pessoas trans* em aplicativos de relacionamento Autor(es): Oliveira, Amanda Nogueira de Primeiro Orientador: Lemos, André Luiz Martins Abstract: This study examines the registration forms of dating apps Tinder, Badoo, and Bumble, understanding them as mechanisms that function both as formatting tools and as operators of exclusion for trans* individuals. Engaging with theorists such as Koopman (2019), Halberstam (2023) and Butler (2019a, 2019b, 2022), the empirical analysis of Tinder, Badoo, and Bumble reveals that the issue extends beyond transphobia. This study follows the concept of “infopower” (Koopman, 2019), which creates “informational persons”, hybridly shaped by the data entered by users on these platforms. The construction of these “informational persons”, particularly based on gender identification and sexual orientation, serves to direct resources, tools, and usability features, among other material-discursive alternatives. The objective is not only to retain users within these platforms but, more importantly, to generate profiles shaped by the combination of collected data and the mechanisms that structure these users. In a scenario of platformization, datafication, and algorithmic performativity (Lemos, 2019, 2021b), these platforms do not merely mediate interactions. They performatively modulate gender, reinforcing exclusions and limiting diversity in digital spaces. Methodologically, this research employs approaches developed at Lab404 (Lemos, 2020; Lemos; Bitencourt, 2021), which adopt neo-materialist perspectives based on Actor-Network Theory (Latour, 2012), the “walkthrough method” for app analysis (Light; Burgess; Duguay, 2018), and the dynamics of “infopower” (Koopman, 2019). The study concludes that the visibility promoted by these apps, while generated through the recognition derived from the formatting of gender identities, simultaneously exposes trans* people to exclusionary and violent mechanisms.

Título: A estratégia de construção de imagem pública nas redes sociais digitais: a campanha permanente de cinco presidentes no Twitter e no Instagram Autor(es): Rocha, Pedro Mesquita da Primeiro Orientador: Gomes, Wilson da Silva Abstract: The permanent campaign has become a central phenomenon in contemporary politics, characterized by the continuous use of electoral strategies throughout the mandate by elected political agents across different levels of governance. These strategies aim to influence the construction of public image and ensure the maintenance of a positive reputation. Moreover, the permanent campaign model enables politicians to gain greater visibility and remain in the spotlight. This study seeks to understand this phenomenon by analyzing the digital communication of five presidents: Jair Bolsonaro (Brazil), Nicolás Maduro (Venezuela), Donald Trump (United States), Alberto Fernández (Argentina), and Sebastián Piñera (Chile), all of whom maintain significant social media presence on platforms like Instagram and Twitter. These platforms, widely used by users worldwide, offer unique characteristics that provide a comprehensive view of political communication. The high frequency of posts, combined with personalization and professionalism in content creation, reveals these leaders' ongoing concern with remaining relevant, as if they were still on the electoral stage. To examine the positions adopted by these politicians, content analysis techniques were applied, with each post considered a unit of analysis, in a total of 2,849 posts. The following categories were defined to characterize the communication model of each political agent: (1) Political Positioning and on Highlighted Issues, (2) Attacks and Negative Campaigning, (3) Display of Achievements, (4) Search for and Demonstration of Political Capital, (5) Evocation of National Symbols, (6) Differentiations, (7) Private Life, and (8) Others. The specific contexts in which each president operated were also considered, as key events—such as the Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPI) in Bolsonaro’s case or the humanitarian crisis faced by Maduro—directly influenced the content of their posts. Additionally, this study explores the consequences of maintaining an active campaign after the electoral victory. While governing demands conciliation, the logic of electoral campaigns relies on selfpromotion and persuasion, which may foster polarization and weaken public debate and democracy, especially when negative campaigning and attacks are escalated. The results indicate that each president developed distinct permanent campaigns, focusing on specific categories and adapting their rhetoric to the current political moment. Donald Trump, for instance, maintained a combative posture, directing attacks toward various social and political actors, particularly during his impeachment process, during which many of his posts sought to delegitimize legal and parliamentary proceedings. Among the limitations of this work are the three-month temporal scope, exclusively within the digital sphere, and the fact that it does not also cover the election. In conclusion, this research sheds light on the phenomenon of the permanent campaign, an underexplored topic but one of growing importance in the current political dynamics, as more representatives adopt these strategies to remain in the spotlight and shape their public image.
