Instead of taking such accusations as an interpretive starting point, this study proposes to understand them as symptoms of a contemporary reception regime marked by normative identity expectations and moral surveillance, which traverse the cultural field and reorganize the criteria of art legibility. To understand this phenomenon, I developed the concept of prescriptive identitarianism (FRASER, 1995, 2000; BROWN, 1995; HAIDER, 2018; RANCIÈRE, 2009; MONDZAIN, 2013, 2017) as a theoretical-methodological operator intended to describe the set of normative expectations that regulate who can narrate the stories of marginalized subjects (SPIVAK, 2010), which affects are considered legitimate, and which representations are authorized as politically acceptable within contemporary cultural debate. Next, I employ a mixed methodology in the process of analyzing the research corpus: 1. I use a critical-discursive approach supported by the method of critical narrative analysis (MOTTA, 2013), combined with the framing of the linguistic resource of irony as an operator of interpretive communities (HUTCHEON, 2000) and the model of interactional participation (GOFFMAN, 1986), allowing mapping of address mechanisms, symbolic belonging, and production of interpretive consensus; and 2. I make use of diagrams as an analytical resource derived from information design. (BONSIEPE, 2011; WARE, 2012; TUFTE, 2007), allowing the visualization of evaluative and semantic patterns in the analyzed content. The analysis of the five international reviews included in the research corpus (Autostraddle, THEM, CBC Arts, The Pink News, and El País) reveals rhetorical and affective convergences that support the public canceling process of the film, understood here as a media practice inserted in a contemporary moral economy (MISKOLCI, 2025) and articulated with the dynamics of the new digital public space (BOSCO, 2017). The Emilia Pérez case thus emerges as a paradigm for understanding new forms of symbolic policing that affect artistic works addressing social minorities, revealing a contemporary crisis of perception (MONDZAIN, 2013), in which aesthetic ambiguity and dissent tend to be subordinated to moral regimes of visibility and identity correction.

It is grounded in reflections on gender, media, and ontopolitical processes, proposing a cartography that includes interactive experimentation on social networks using profiles of trans and non-binary people, especially on TikTok. The method employed is based on the Deleuze–Guattarian rhizomatic model, a method characterized by the absence of centrality and by permanent openness in the process, enabling the construction of a cartography. As an additional methodological procedure, discourse analysis drawing on Michel Foucault is also used. The research is based on the assumption that digital platforms, especially TikTok, have opened up an interactive space for minority expressions, including those of LGBTQIA+ culture, enabling the welcoming of divergent patterns at the level of gender, ideas, and behaviors. The cultural diversity mediatized on social networks raises relevant questions for thinking about the current paradigm of communication and audiovisual media, as well as for processes of identity construction and social inclusion. The underlying question that guided this research and stimulated the cartographic process, albeit rhetorical, is: “who are todes and what are the ontopolitical implications of their process of identity and existential affirmation?” Tipo: Tese Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT http://repositorio.ufc.br/handle/riufc/85923 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repositorio.ufc.br/handle/riufc/85894 Título: Letramento digital de estudantes da Guiné-Bissau: o caso do uso das tecnologias digitais no projeto Unilab Autor(es): Infau, Laurindo Leite Abstract: The overall objective of the dissertation was to investigate which digital technologies have been used in secondary schools in Guinea-Bissau over the last ten years, through the application of questionnaires to Guinean students who came to study for a degree at UNILAB. Since 2010, the country's Basic Education System Law has emphasised the importance of using information technology and other technologies as important resources in the Guinean teaching process. The study covers two areas of knowledge, Communication and Education. To address Educommunication in particular, we refer to the classics by Freire (1983; 1996). In the field of Communication, we draw primarily on the studies of Braga (2011) and Martino (2019). In the field of Education, we draw on the studies of Soares (2004); Cury (2010); Kleiman (2010); Oliveira (2010) and Santos and Zúcula (2025). In the area of social transformation and ethical responsibility for the use of digital technologies, we draw on the studies of Hans Jonas (2006) and Lira (2018). In the context of methodology, we rely on the studies of Maldonado et al. (2024); Minayo (2007) and Bardin (1977). Methodologically, this is a qualitative case study. Questionnaires were administered to eleven Guinean students who had recently arrived at UNILAB, between the first and fourth semesters, and who had completed secondary education in Guinea-Bissau schools. The questionnaires were administered between 5 and 18 January 2026. Content analysis was used to analyse the data. After analysing the data, it was concluded that digital literacy is not yet a reality in secondary schools in Guinea-Bissau, despite the country's main education law stating that computer and technological equipment are important teaching resources for the teaching-learning process in the country. The eleven participants in the study reported that they experienced (and some still experience) difficulties with the use of digital technologies at university. They recommended the introduction of computer science in secondary schools in Guinea-Bissau to minimise problems for students in higher education, where they will have to engage with the use of different digital technologies.

It starts from the premise that the logic of platformization reconfigures newsworthiness criteria, news values, and contemporary content. The methodology adopted was a multiple case study with content analysis of 29 articles about the Pix Case, starting in January 2025. The episode arose from a misinterpreted tax regulation regarding the transfer of banking data to the Federal Revenue Service, generating a wave of misinformation about the alleged taxation of the service. This scenario was exacerbated by the repercussion of a video by Congressman Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG), which reached approximately 200 million views, increasing the metric pressure on the coverage. The analysis sought to understand how the mainstream media adapts the angles and depth of its economic content to serve the urgency of metrics and distribution dynamics. Thus, five categories were systematized: 1) search engine optimization (SEO) and engagement; 2) dilatable criteria and news repackaging; 3) depth differences between metric-driven content; 4) the impact of AI-generated summaries; and 5) sensationalism. The results of this thesis indicate that metricization did not cause a rupture in Brazilian business journalism, but rather intensified a rationality already financialized and dominated by neoliberal discourse. While since the 1980s the market economist has been consolidated as an interpretive lens, in the platformized context, these mediations are now also reorganized by digital metrics. In the Pix Case, production was accelerated by mechanisms that weaken the social function of business journalism.
