This study is part of the discussion about the current context of teacher education influenced by the dictates of the cultural industry. The approach proposed for this work seeks to problematize the aforementioned theme supported by the theoretical references of the Frankfurt School represented by Theodor W. Adorno, among other thinkers. Thus, we aim to analyze the use of the Critical Theory of Society used in the foundation of stricto sensu research on teacher education in Brazil, from 2014 to 2018. The results point to the importance of the Adornian theory in the critical foundation of studies on the formation of teachers in our country, understood in the process of capitalist production and consumption, that uses art as a maneuver of alienation and massification of the great mass.

This article investigates the insertion of the Brazilian cultural industry in global markets, analyzing the adoption of an organizational trajectory oriented towards the enhancement of complexity possible to describe towards the idea of network enterprises. It focuses on relationship with the logic of dependent development, an inherited structural property. On one hand, the logic of network enterprise brings back the theme of the tense and necessary association between national and international capital, typical to dependent development. On the other, the contemporary complexity leads this subject to a highest degree. The article concentrates attention at the segmented market of satellite television. The inertia of broadcast television justifies this choice in projects that represents, in Brazil, inedited transformations in the decisory and stock control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The book publishing business, as a part of the cultural industry, has gone thru major changes, triggered by the emergency for digital technologies. These changes started in the editing and production firms with the introduction of new technologies like the desktop publishing and the computer to print. A second change to the market also happened with the introduction of the Internet as a sales tool. Finally the coming of the e-book format and its proliferation created a hybrid branch of the market, that started to have in technology companies like Amazon and Google, distribution "partners". In Brazil there was a great resistance from the editors and book sales man to adopt the new formats because of the fear they had of losing the distribution control. For over a decade the attempts to introduce the new format into the Brazilian market failed, until three years ago, when things started to change. This article portrays a panorama of the introduction of the e-book in Brazil, its cultural and economic implications, evaluating the conflicts that have taken place in the last twelve years.

Current paper analyzes the relationship between the advent of new digital recording technologies, the use of the internet as a media marketing structure and the rise of independent music production. This analysis investigates the so-called independent phonographic market ('open markets') since, within the context of the information society, the use of software and hardware in production processes and recording of popular music reduced recording costs and the emergence of independent record labels and artists. The concept of cyberspace as a new form of broadcasting - network - symbolic goods is legitimated. Brasilia, a city that became prominent in the Brazilian music scene due to the rise of independent bands featuring different musical styles, is thus focused. Members of two bands from Brasilia were interviewed by e-mail. They were an asset in understanding how the production and promotion processes of a band without any contract with a traditional label took place. The survey revealed that digital recording has made the manufacture of phonograms easier. With the aid of the internet and specifically through the social networks, the enhancement of independent bands became possible even without large investments and organizational materials.

This paper aims at discussing which rationality types may orient contemporary artistic practice. This objective emerged from a research made in Grupo Galpão, a twenty-eight years old theatre group from Belo Horizonte. As we entered into the research locus, by documental analysis, non participant observation and interviews, the rationality issue became a prominent theme to be discussed considering contemporary art production. By means of discourse analysis elements, we could identify in artists' discursive practices meanings about art-making, sometimes related to instrumental rationality and to surviving in the market of cultural goods; and sometimes, on the other hand, were related to substantive rationality and to practices oriented by ethical or esthetical ideals. By the end, despite of economic pressures from the cultural industry context, we understand that authentic art is intrinsically a transcendent practice and keeps moments of freedom and assertion of out-of-the-ordinary life values [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Through analysis of some phases and styles in Brazilian popular music that emerged between the 1950s and 80s, this article seeks to identify some alienating biases in the lyrics of songs written in the styles mentioned. The study assumes the concept of alienation found in Marx, translated as a phenomenon involving the alienation of man from his reality, as well as the development of a cultural industry as defined by Adorno. The analysis of lyrics was also part of the Cinema in the University Extension Project of Continuing Education Alumni and Graduates of Vale do Teles Pires Campus. The article points to the need for more observation on the part of society and especially by educators, with regard to alienating traits and/or those intended exclusively for mass consumption, which music production can often assume, keeping in mind a critical analysis of this scenario in order to construct a cultural citizenship.

This article aims to build bridges between three theoretical fields: Organizational Strategy, Social Networks, and Social Identifies. By analyzing the networks of Brazilian musicians (interpreters and composers), we monitor the emergence of new styles, along with the structural changes in the network. Within the period in analysis, from 1958 to 1969, four musical styles emerge and consolidate: Bossa Nova, Jovem Guarda, MPB and Tropicalia. We utilized Social Networks Analysis in order to grasp three dimensions of the field evolution: network evolution, creation of structural holes and transformation of actors' centrality. Internal conflicts in a field generate brokerage opportunities among groups separated by structural holes. These holes might be gradually bridged through incremental transformations in the artists' networks. As the emerging artists' influence increases, there is higher potential for the introduction of a new style and change of the field's classificatory system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article proposes a new perspective of historical analyses of MPB (Brazilian Popular Music), considering not only the political/cultural dimension of popular music, but also the economical/cultural dimension. In this other perspective, information must be collected about the relationship among popular music and culture industry, market and mass media. The article, in this proposal, makes a historical analysis of MPB in the crucial Sixties, especially the styles of bossa nova, protest songs and tropicalismo, as well as the MPB festivals. It concludes that MPB had a key function in the formation of the youth culture market, of course regarding the record industry. Not only was MPB in the Sixties crucial to the political/cultural mobilization of young middle class people in Brazil, but also started the institution of a youth consumer market for culture products made by the new record industry, together with equally new mass media, especially television.
