Quando fenômenos comunicacionais como as mobilizações de coletivos digitais despontam, também emergem paradoxos o lugar da mídia no cotidiano social. Não raramente, a tendência é interpretá-los por extremos epistemológicos — delimitando-o, quase exclusivamente, às mídias e suas características ou por uma perspectiva completamente interdisciplinar. Sem desconsiderar a potência política dos movimentos sociais nas redes digitais, consideramos que é preciso ir além e apreender as reais implicações das interações entre meios de comunicação, a cultura e a sociedade. Dessa forma, nosso objetivo neste artigo é realizar um exercício de observação crítica sobre o lugar da mídia no ordenamento e na constituição da sociedade. Para tanto observamos a (não) mobilização digital das mulheres contra o assédio sexual em dois casos, o da menina Valentina, de 12 anos, participante do reality show culinário Masterchef e o das crianças e jovens negras da comunidade quilombola Kalunga.Palavras-chave: Mídia.

Com a dinâmica da cibercultura, novos gêneros e formatos acabam por se apropriar de particularidades já existentes em outras mídias, com isso temos a reconfiguração de diversos conteúdos. Nesse sentido a websérie Girls In The House nos chama atenção em razão de ser um machinima (narrativas criadas a partir de games) e por ser um exemplo que surge nessa prerrogativa de inovações, utilizando o The Sims para personificar roteiros e remediações para se apropriar de traços televisivos. Portanto, o presente artigo propõe-se a analisar quais são as características que a websérie se apropria da tv. Analisamos um vídeo do canal RaoTv e comparamos com o reality Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Os resultados nos apontam que toda a estrutura do reality é reconfigurada em um produto direcionado a web.Palavras-chave: Machinima. Remediação. Reality show.

The Right

In 2004, a new celebrity hit the Australian television circuit. Billed as a mysterious, seductive Latina with a secret, she graced our shores in a TV reality show called ` There's Something About Miriam': a dating game with a twist. Set in Ibiza, Miriam vies for the attention of six eligible British bachelors without letting them in on her transsexual status. In her ambiguity, Miriam is the embodiment of all things seen as other and exotic; in the context of Anglo-Australian understandings, she is the marker of all things Hispanic. Wildly popular in Australia, Miriam stepped out of one reality show into another: the Australian version of Big Brother. The TV network promised to deliver more on this boy turned girl, whose body provided the right kind of slippage to become the site of inscription for a range of repeated tropical fictions.

The Subject

Critics of weight loss reality shows often present the contestants as victims of commodification and exploitation without any form of agency. This paper seeks to contest this one-sided view of such shows. It draws on interviews with the producers and 19 contestants in the first season of a dance reality show in Ghana, the Di Asa show, as well as recorded video performances online. We argue that indeed the show was organised in a manner that commodified the contestants for purposes of improving the ratings of the private television station that hosted the show. However, to read these contestants purely as commodified objects misses half the story. We demonstrate that these contestants participated in the show with parallel motives to that for which the producers created the show, and were successful in their endeavours. They thus engaged in what we call subversive commodification, a situation where the object of commodification actively takes part in the commodification process to gain benefits that accrue solely to them and not the subject of commodification.

Practical Implications

Purpose – The social TV phenomenon has raised the interest of some researchers in studying the production of online reviews. However, little is known about the characteristics of reviewers that, without having had indeed a real experience of consumption, still dare to assess the service. The purpose of this research is to understand these reviewers better, using an experiment conducted in Brazil. Design/methodology/approach – Through a cluster analysis with 2547 reviewers of 7 restaurants that participated in a reality show in Brazil, we were able to create 4 fours. Using Spearman Correlation and Kruskal-Wallis Test, differences among groups were analysed in the search of behavioural changes among different types of reviewers. Findings – We conclude that social TV influence fake online reviews of restaurants that were involved in a tv show. Furthermore, we were able to verify that some reviewers indeed assess the service without indeed having tried the service, which strongly bias the influence they are going to cause in potential consumers. Four types of reviewers were identified: the real expert, the amateur reviewer, the speculator and the pseudo expert. The 2 latter types are analyzed through the anthropologic lens of the popular Brazilian culture and the TV influence in that country. Research limitations/implications – we were able to understand how TV can influence the construction of fake online reviews for restaurants. Practical implications – It is important for the restaurant and hospitality industry in general, to be able to be attentive to the phenomenon of fake reviews that can totally biased the advantages of this assessment system that was created to produce trust among consumers, but that can act exactly the other way around. Originality/value – This study highlights the relevance of taking into account cultural background of the country where the restaurant is located, as well as emphasizing the relevance of conducting a previous analysis of the decision of embarking on a reality show that it has high chances to biasedly influence consumers’ decisions.

O artigo busca refletir sobre a importância do conceito de autenticidade para a audiência do reality show Big Brother Brasil (BBB). Os resultados da etnografia midiática de uma comunidade on-line de fãs do programa sugerem que as condições criadas pelo confinamento da casa do BBB seriam as ideais para a revelação da autenticidade dos participantes do reality show. O ponto de partida da reflexão apresentada neste trabalho tem como referência fundamental a análise do modelo romântico de “self expressivo”, ainda em voga no ocidente. Segundo esse paradigma, todo indivíduo tem uma autenticidade própria que, supostamente, pode ser suprimida por “máscaras sociais” adotadas. Para os fãs do BBB, contudo, certos aspectos do confinamento dos participantes do programa seriam capazes de forçar a retirada dessas máscaras. Palavras-Chave Big Brother Brasil. Subjetividade.

The Mass Media

The mass media play at least five basic functions which include news dissemination, surveillance of the environment, correlation of the components of the society, entertainment and transmission of social heritage.  Sometimes, disruptions and impairments do occur in the performance of these roles and some of these basic functions become dysfunctions, which turn the media into purveyor of negative values. The present study investigates how popular the Nigerian TV reality show, Big Brother Naija (BBN), is perceived by its viewers. Three hundred heavy viewers of the programme were surveyed from Lagos and Ede, South-West Nigeria, and their opinions and attitudes were sought regarding; why they like or dislike the programme; the gratifications that those who like the programme derive and whether the BBN, as media content, is generally functional or dysfunctional to the society. Sixty-six per cent 66 (33.7%) of respondents like the programme because it entertains. Half of the respondents, 99(50.5%) dislike ‘immoral aspects’ of the programme. The viewers affirm that the eviction part of the programme was their highest form of gratification.  Most respondents, despite public outcry against the programme, consider the programme to be “functional”. Findings reinforce the postulation that TV viewers are not passive consumers of media contents.
