This paper aims to expose part of a dissertation on symbolic and political representations formulated by contemporary narrative journalism. The methodology specifies a discussion on hegemony, control and power, based on thematic groups of analysis, which reflects on a production based on heterogeneous identities that highlights a plurality of political making. The discussion is raised from a sample of two chronicles of Etiqueta Negra and El Malpensante magazines, which involves the theoretical framework from the historical formation of the chronicle to the understanding of the process of socio-cultural mediation before power relations. This discussion intends to articulate imaginary, narrative influence, control practices, humanization of communication processes and social memory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we propose to analyze the conditions in which Antonio Pasquali approached, between the mid-sixties and the beginning of the seventies, the philosophical and sociological reflections elaborated by the Frankfurt School. From a theoretical-methodological framework inscribed in the sociology of culture, the cultural and intellectual networks in which the Venezuelan theorist participated are reconstructed. This analytical input allows us to account certain readings and appropriations of the so-called "critical theory of society", in a specific context about the discussions about the relationship between communication, culture and the mass media.

In this paper, we briefly introduce three aspects of what might be considered a Latin-American school of political economy of communication. The first aspect is an institutional history that highlights the efforts to be present at universities as well as researcher organizations and other spaces of independent discussions such as journals and observatories. Second aspect, incorporates both European and North-American theoretical and epistemological traditions, which gives a way to a Latin-American re-elaboration. The third aspect, is the making of a particular history. Such history is, nevertheless, non-homogeneous as it takes into account the specificities of Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico. Finally, some categories elaborated or re-elaborated within the Latin-American camp, stand out as they contribute for a better dialog with other strands at the world level. As a conclusion remark is that, despite its internal development, the Anglo- American intellectual and academic traditions still prevail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper reflects upon the appropriation of the Latin-American theories by the Brazilian scientific production in the area of reception studies. This frame is justified by the importance of the country in the continent's investigation scenario, in both quantitative terms and in the continuous effort of the Brazilian's academic research qualification. The analysis is from a systematic monitoring of the production since da 1990s (Jacks, et al. 2008; 2014; 2017) to trace an overview of 25 years of the field, presenting theoretical-methodological mapped contributions, advances and obstacles. Also discusses the evolution and reconfiguration of what is understood by reception and the main gaps that can serve as an agenda of investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article tracks the historical record in the past half-century of alternative, community and popular (i.e. people's) communication in Latin America and the Caribbean in its quest to materialize the recurrent demand for the democratization of communication and assume it as a right. This process also includes an effort to promote issues such as citizen participation and regional integration that contribute to better democratic coexistence. The paper underlines the leading role and the interconnected participation of different experiences of alternative media, organizations and popular communication networks; social movements that have carried out different actions in the local, national, and international arena. Particular attention is given to the contribution of popular radio stations in strengthening democratic practices, the fight for the care of the environment and the promotion of the right to communicate in the last 30 years. The article concludes with the ratification of the commitment of popular communication to building the civilizing horizon of Good Living in a digitalized world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

En este artículo, analizamos publicidades de las dos emisoras de televisión abierta brasileña de mayor audiencia (TV Globo y TV Record) que presentaron cuestiones relacionadas a la ciencia en sus narrativas. Las piezas fueron sometidas a un protocolo de análisis de contenido y procesadas por el software de análisis de modelos mixtos, el QDAMiner. Nuestros resultados muestran que TV Record transmitió más publicidad con enfoque científico que la TV Globo y hubo énfasis en asuntos de salud y de estética. La ciencia fue utilizada como forma de legitimar los productos y las marcas, de manera a contribuir al convencimiento de los telespectadores. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
