This paper aims to understand how violent deaths suffered by common people and their media coverage are approached in the field of Communication, focusing on the sense-making processes about violence and its structural nature. In order to do so, we analysed papers about the media coverage around murders, published in 26 journals in the field of Communication, classified as A2 and B1 in the Brazilian "Qualis Capes" ranking. Based on the ways of identifying the victims and the circumstances of their deaths, in interaction with the ways of naming such violence, presented in the papers' empirical and analytical dimensions, we designed an overview of the silences and absences in the epistemic constructions about violence in media and academia in Brazil.

This article illustrates the development of research activities over the 48 years of the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA). Founded in 1971, the HCPA begins its research activities in 1974, date of the first articles published in indexed journals. The study covers a period of 44 years, from 1974 to 2018 for which the scientific articles in journals indexed in the Web of Science database, published by researchers of the hospital including the Faculty of Medicine and other UFRGS units associated with the research projects of the HCPA were considered for this study. The article results from a scientometric study, and for this purpose analyzes of bibliographic indicators were carried out, covering: total production of experimental scientific articles, review articles and complete papers published in the proceedings of scientific events. For ease of information, the terms used by the bases were maintained in English throughout the text and in the tables and figures. A total of 6,383 documents of these three types of articles were published in the period. The temporal evolution of this production is also shown. The main research areas, the keywords of the articles, the journals, the international collaboration and the most cited papers were also raised. It was identified at the end that several authors though working in the hospital, do not indicate in the articles their linkage to the HCPA and thus, it is recommended to GPPG to develop some orientation to the researchers concerning to this subject.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of the corresponding author (CA) in the area of Information Metric Studies. More specifically, we analyze the role of the CA in the articles published in co-authorship in the Journal of informetrics (JOI) in 2016, from two different perspectives: i) the bibliometric characteristics of the CAs; ii) the understanding of the role of the CA by the authors listed in the papers. We carried out the analysis in two stages: 1) identification of the percentage of participation in the main phases of the development of the article and the h index of the CAs by type of authorship, categorizing the contributions of the authors using the information from the JOI submission forms; 2) qualitative evaluation of the role of the CA according to the understanding of the articles' authors, using as a basis the responses of a questionnaire sent to the authors (Hilário, 2020).The results of the analysis include the bibliometric indicators related to the CA by type of authorship (double, triple, quadruple or more): position of the CA in the line of authorship; total percentage of contribution by the CA in the main phases of the development of research; h index; as well as the understanding of the 30 authors who answered the questionnaire regarding the role of the correspondence author in the development of research.

This article carries out a study of visuality related to the cangaceiro Antônio Silvino in cordel literature. The paper studies pictures present in the covers of seven flyers about Antônio Silvino published in the first half of the 20th century. Besides the cordel’s, the article dialogues with pictures published in two magazines: O Malho and Flor de Liz. The paper adopts two theoretical concepts: visual culture and pathosformenl which are used with the main intention of observing the visual continuities and discontinuities around the image of the cangaceiro Antônio Silvino in cordel literature. It was possible to observe that certain elements, «gestures» and signs of a culture and society do not isolate and end in themselves in their historical time, but they overcome the barriers of temporalities, establishing connections and interconnections with images of other supports, contexts and historical temporalities. Likewise, it is possible to understand that the reutilization of pictures follows interests that pervade the editorial field, where authors and editors transit in memories and places that offer a visual repertoire that is taken to the construction of representations and visual narratives present in cordel literature.

This study aimed to verify the applicability of the Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms (SAPS) and Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) instruments through a systematic review. Moreover, to define the evaluated population with the instrument, and to assess the quality of the articles included in the review. The search for papers was conducted by two judges in the PsycARTICLES, Web of Science, Medline and Scopus databases. In total 31 articles were recaptured and analyzed after applying the inclusion/exclusion criteria. It was noted that the most articles used the scales to assess the intensity of positive and negative symptoms, correlating SANS and SAPS scores with other variables, likewise, to verify the effect of drug and non-drug interventions. Concerning the sample type, most consisted of clinical patients. As regards the quality of articles, it was observed that the minority was published in journals with high impact factor and only seven articles used incidental procedures. Finally, it is concluded that the SANS and SAPS instruments are functional and appropriate tools for the positive and negative symptomatology assessment in several contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the period from January 1920 to December 1921 a cooperation between Jessie Fauset, Augustus Dill and W.E.B. Du Bois resulted in the publication of a periodical called "The Brownies' Book" (TBB) the first publication for North American black, and not white (colored people) children and young people. The creation of "The Brownies' Book" (TBB) was a pioneering event in African American literature in general and, more specifically, in the field of African American children's literature, as it was the first periodical composed and published by African Americans for black children who, until then, searched in vain for material that included a perspective on their experience and history. This article argues that the TBBs were one of the harbingers of the movement called the Harlem Renaissance, constituting a children's literary materialization of the path towards the emergence of what the philosopher Alain Locke called the New Negro. What was being formulated was both the deconstruction of stereotypes associated with blacks and the active projection/creation of a positive identification with their local and ancestral community. This paper seeks to identify the post-WWI discursive strategies and practices of de-racialization proposed for "the children of the sun", as W.E.B. Du Bois called them, in order to stop seeing themselves "through the eyes of others" (Du Bois, 1903). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper discusses the contribution of the Rio de Janeiro daily Gazeta de Notícias to the popularization of pornography in Brazil after 1870, when the publishing and printing activities expanded, and a recognizable part of the book market turned to licentious literature. Gazeta de Notícias was one of the agents of the new journalism that contributed to the dissemination of this literature. In 1878, the editors published the "Biblioteca Galante", a collection of inexpensive licentious books; and in 1896-1897 it featured the satirical column "O Cub", focused on adult and licentious content. This article draws on recent studies of Cultural History and on the reading of fiction and periodicals of the period published in Portuguese. It highlights the expansion of the readership of popular and licentious literature that animated the press and the book market at the time. By the turn of the century, pornography was openly marketed in city bookstores and found in many middle-class households. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the United States, Reader's Digest was a major contributor to the mobilization of World War II, mobilizing American women to work in the industry and advocating that men should go to the front, articulating later also the demobilization of women and their return to their homes. In the Brazilian context, Seleções do Reader's Digest - working with a US material selection - also contributed to the different ways which gender roles during the conflict years were presented to Brazilian readers along the lines of the policies implemented in the United States. Therefore, the focus of this paper will be on how these roles were articulated in both countries, between 1941 and 1945, based on articles published by both periodicals. Taking as a theoretical perspective the Gender Studies, especially the biases established by scholars such as Susan Hartmann and Joanne Meyerowitz, and focusing on the concept of representation, as conceived by Roger Chartier, the work aims to list possible differences regarding the call for women, pointing out the different ways in which they participated in the war effort, either at homefront or on the battlefield.

By understanding the contemporary reader-subject as that who travels in a dense typographic environment, which presents a growing diversity of texts and reading practices, this paper inquires about the co-inhabitance and the nature of revivaling practices introduced by Piauí magazine as it shifts reading boundaries. Focusing on the sensitive interaction between reader and publication, it is proposed to investigate the way in which the magazine graphically articulates a proposition of a different reading experience, breaking new territories of print.
