Decolonial Feminism

Resumo: Fundamentando a investigação no feminismo decolonial (LUGONES, 2020; VÈRGES, 2019), o propósito deste trabalho é empreender uma discussão acerca do modo como se apresentam personagens femininas e as relações de gênero no século XXI no romance português contemporâneo A vida sonhada das boas esposas (2019), de Possidónio Cachapa. As personagens femininas constituem o fio condutor de uma narrativa situada em um Portugal cosmopolita contemporâneo que, embora interligado pelas tecnologias das redes sociais, mantém resquícios de ditames que remetem aos ideais de família nuclear propagados pelo Estado Novo (1933-1974). Assim, discurso e poder patriarcal perpassam e são determinantes das relações sociais da narrativa, sobretudo as que envolvem a protagonista Madalena que, apenas após a morte do marido, percebe-se como sujeito e passa a experimentar a vida desse novo lugar, a partir do qual estabelece relacionamentos próprios e não mais circunscritos ao seu papel social de esposa. Considera-se o feminismo como pressuposto filosófico do romance uma vez que a narrativa aponta, por meio das figurações femininas, para modelos existenciais múltiplos. Trata-se, portanto, de uma inscrição de modelos existenciais diversos no lugar da tradicional identidade feminina única, fixa e presa aos papéis de gênero estabelecidos por uma ordem patriarcal que, não obstante, ainda apresenta vestígios de um pensamento colonial.Palavras-chave: feminino; figuração; feminismo; Possidónio Cachapa.Abstract: Supporting the investigation in Decolonial Feminism (LUGONES, 2020; VÈRGES, 2019), this work aims to lead a discussion about how female characters as well as gender relations in the 21st century are presented in the contemporary Portuguese novel A vida sonhada das boas esposas (2019), by Possidónio Cachapa. The female characters compose the thread of a narrative placed in a cosmopolitan and contemporary Portugal that, while connected by the social media technologies, shows traces of the Novo Estado (1933-1974) diktat ideals about nuclear families. Therefore, the patriarchal discourse and power are determining of the social relations in the narrative, mainly the ones involving the protagonist Madalena who, only after her husband’s death, realizes she is a subject and comes to experience life in this new place where she establishes her own relationships no longer based on her social wife role. Feminism is considered the philosophical foundation of the novel once it points to multiple existential models through female figuration. Consequently, it is an inscription of diverse existential models instead of the fixed gender roles established by a patriarchal order. Nevertheless, there are still vestiges of a colonial thought.Keywords: female; figuration; feminism; Possidónio Cachapa.

Social Shaping

This chapter considers the role of social media (broadly conceived) in the learning experiences of folk musicians in the Anglophone West. The chapter draws on the findings of the Digital Folk project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK), and begins by summarizing and problematizing the nature of learning as a concept in the folk music context. It briefly explicates the instructive, appropriative, and locative impacts of digital media for folk music learning before exploring in detail two case studies of folk-oriented social media: (1) the phenomenon of abc notation as a transmissive media and (2) the Mudcat Café website as an example of the folk-oriented discussion forum. These case studies are shown to exemplify and illuminate the constructs of traditional transmission and vernacularism as significant influences on the social shaping and deployment of folk-related media technologies. The chapter concludes by reflecting on the need to understand the musical learning process as a culturally performative act and to recognize online learning mechanisms as sites for the (re)negotiation of musical, cultural, local, and personal identities.

As sport management pedagogy has evolved, an effort has been made to incorporate popular and innovative social media technologies into classroom instruction. Academic research has suggested how the technology can be utilized to provide real-world skills for students and develop proficiencies in an area where many sport management graduates find employment. Notable among the recommendations about social media use by sport management scholars is a lack of research testing the efficacy of these tools in improving curricula. The current study relied on the recommendations of Sanderson and Browning (2015) to use the social media site Twitter to create online partnerships, testing the perceived benefits of such an arrangement through end-of-semester surveys with student participants. While the survey data show a true partnership may be difficult to realize—particularly during a single semester—the benefits of such an assignment were clearly articulated.

In this paper, I shall attempt to respond to the charge that the digital labour theory, as developed by Christian Fuchs, doesn’t faithfully stick to the Marxist schema of the Labour Theory of Value by arguing that Marx’s critique of capitalism was based on the social and material cost of exploitation and the impact of capitalist exploitation of the working class. Engels’s analysis of The Condition of The Working Class in England links the various forms of violence faced by the working class to the bourgeois rule that props their exploitation. I shall argue, within the framework of Critical Social Media Studies, that the rapid advance of fascist and authoritarian regimes represents a similar development of violence and dispossession, with digital capitalism being a major factor catalysing the rifts within societies. It shall be further argued that much like the exploitative nature of labour degrades social linkages and creates conditions of that exaggerates social contradictions, the “labour” performed by social media users degenerates social relations and promotes a hyper-violent spectacle that aids and abets fascist and authoritarian regimes.

ABSTRACT This paper examines the association between firm performance and social media. Based on a sample of S&P 1500 firms, the study finds that firms with a social media presence are more highly valued by the market and have higher future financial performance. Further analysis indicates that the impact of social media on firm performance varies depending on the social media platform involved. Finally, using a restricted sample of Global 100 firms, the study finds some evidence that a higher level of social media engagement is associated with higher firm performance. Overall, these findings provide consistent evidence of the positive impact of social media technologies on firm performance. Data Availability: All data are available from public sources.

Through the lens of a political economic approach, I consider the question whether or not social media can promote social change. I claim that whereas media have consistently channeled technological utopia/dystopia, thus be constantly linked to aspirations and fear of social change, the answer to that question does not depend on their specific nature but on historically specific social relations in which media operate. In the case here considered, it requires examining the social relations re-producing and produced by informational capitalism. More specifically, I examine how the productive relations that support user generated content practices of Facebook users affect social media in their capability to reproduce and transform existing social contexts. Drawing on Fuchs and Sevignani's (2013) distinction between “work” and “labor” I claim that social media reflect the ambivalent nature of current capitalist mode of production: a contest in which exploitative/emancipatory as well as reproductive/transformative aspects are articulated by liberal ideology.
