Current Scenario

ABSTRACT – In the current scenario where long-form journalism is now an online narrative form, this work sought to understand if and how the characteristics of literary journalism (LJ), as defined by authors Kramer (1995), Wolfe (2005), Lima (2009) and Pena (2017), are integrated into the multimedia content of webjournalism. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used to perform this, and the content analysis methodology was applied to a final sample of four reports from the UOL TAB platform. We found that LJ in digital writing uses multimedia features to enhance readers’ experiences and, even though the written text remains a key element to the narrative, the multimedia resources attached to it make the genre original, and thus provide for a more immersive reading experience.RESUMO – Em um cenário em que o jornalismo longform já faz parte das narrativas na web, este trabalho buscou compreender se e como as características do jornalismo literário (JL), definidas pelos autores Kramer (1995), Wolfe (2005), Lima (2009) e Pena (2017), são integradas ao conteúdo multimídia do webjornalismo. Para isso, foram utilizadas as abordagens quantitativa e qualitativa e aplicou-se a metodologia análise de conteúdo em uma amostra final de quatro reportagens da plataforma UOL TAB. Verificou-se que o JL na escrita digital se apropria dos elementos multimídia com a intencionalidade de potencializar a experiência do leitor; e, embora o texto escrito continue como elemento central da narrativa, são os recursos multimídia acoplados a ele, que inovam o gênero, tornando a experiência do leitor mais imersiva.RESUMEN – En un escenario donde el periodismo de larga duración ya forma parte de las narrativas en la web, el trabajo buscó comprender si y cómo las características del periodismo literario (JL), definidas por los autores Kramer (1995), Wolfe (2005), Lima (2009) y Pena (2017), se integran en el contenido multimedia del periodismo web. Para ello, se utilizaron los enfoques cuantitativos y cualitativos y se aplicó la metodología de análisis de contenido a una muestra final de cuatro reportajes periodísticos de la plataforma UOL TAB. Se encontró que la JL en escritura digital se apropia de los elementos multimedia con la intención de mejorar la experiencia del lector; y, aunque el texto escrito sigue siendo un elemento central de la narrativa, son los recursos multimedia adjuntos que innovan el género, haciendo que la experiencia del lector sea más inmersiva.

Analysis Of Teaching

O cenário atual na área de desenvolvimento tecnológico proporciona e demanda uma complexa análise dos processos de ensino-aprendizagem, tendo em vista os desafios de vincular as possibilidades potenciais dos recursos multimídias no cotidiano escolar. Particularmente para o caso da educação geográfica, estes recursos, podem ser articulados com o contexto da formação profissional básica na licenciatura em Geografia e, de maneira perene, na formação continuada de professores. A articulação entre temáticas transversais, que possam estar embasadas em conceitos estruturantes da Geografia e as possibilidades multimídias atuais, foram o direcionamento encontrado para uma avaliação preliminar do material produzido versando sobre desastres naturais e suas aplicações na capacitação de professores de Geografia. Foram aplicadas atividades testes com 79 professores. Observou-se um resultado muito acima do esperado, com índices de aprovação e aplicabilidade acima de 75%, o que consolida, especialmente, a demanda elevada por materiais com características capazes de proporcionar inovação e versatilidade na formação de professores, o que poderá gerar novas abordagens pedagógicas na dimensão escolar.PALAVRAS-CHAVEMultimídias, Tecnologia da Informação, Educação Geográfica.PRELIMINARY EVALUATION OF MULTIMEDIA DIDATICAL MATERIALS OF NATURAL DISASTERS IN CONTINUED TEACHER TRAININGABSTRACTThe current scenario in the area of technological development provides and demands a complex analysis of teaching-learning processes, aiming the challenges in linking the potential possibilities of multimedia resources in everyday school. Particularly in the case of geographic education, these resources can be articulated with the context of the basic vocational training in the graduation in Geography, and permanently in the continued teacher training. The articulation between transversal themes that could be based on structuring concepts of Geography and the current multimedia possibilities were the orientation found for a preliminary evaluation of the material produced on natural disasters and their applications in the training of Geography teachers. Testing activities were applied with 79 teachers. A much higher-than-expected result was observed, with approval and applicability indexes over 75%, which especially consolidates the high demand for materials with characteristics capable of providing innovation and versatility in teacher training, which could generate new pedagogical approaches in the school dimension.KEYWORDSMultimedia, Information Technology, Geographic Education.ISSN: 2236-3904REVISTA BRASILEIRA DE EDUCAÇÃO EM GEOGRAFIA - RBEGwww.revistaedugeo.com.br - [email protected]

“Literary journalism” is a highly contested term, its essential elements being a constant source of debate. A range of alternative concepts are promoted: the “New Journalism,” “literary non-fiction,” “creative non-fiction,” “narrative non-fiction,” “the literature of fact,” “lyrics in prose,” “gonzo journalism” and, more recently, “long-form journalism,” “slow journalism,” and “multi-platform immersive journalism.” At root, the addition of “literary” to “journalism” might be seen to be dignifying the latter and giving it a modicum of cultural class. Moreover, while the media exert substantial political, ideological, and cultural power in societies, journalism occupies a precarious position within literary culture and the academy. Journalism and literature are often seen as two separate spheres: the first one “low,” the other “high.” And this attitude is reflected among men and women of letters (who often look down on their journalism) and inside the academy (where the study of the journalism has long been marginalized). The seminal moment for the launching of literary journalism as a subject in higher education was the publication in 1973 of The New Journalism, edited by Tom Wolfe and E. W. Johnson. Bringing together the work of 22 literary journalists, Wolfe pronounced the birth of a distinctly new kind of “powerful” reportage in 1960s America that drew its main techniques from the realist novels of Fielding, Smollett, Balzac, Dickens, and Gogol. By the 1980s and 1990s, the study of literary journalism was growing (mainly in the United States and United Kingdom), with some courses opening at universities. In recent years, literary journalism studies have internationalized revealing their historic roots in many societies while another emphasis has been on the work of women writers. Immersive journalism, in which the reporter is embedded with a particular individual, group, community, military unit (or similar) has long been a feature of literary journalism. In recent years it has been redefined as “slow journalism”: the “slowness” allowing for extra attention to the aesthetic, writerly, and experimental aspects of reportage for the journalist and media consumer. And perhaps paradoxically in this age of Twitter and soundbite trivia, long-form/long-read formats (in print and online) have emerged alongside the slow journalism trend. The future for literary journalism is, then, full of challenges: some critics argue that one solution to the definitional wrangles would be to consider all journalism as worthy of critical attention as literature. Most analysis of literary journalism is keen to stress the quality of the techniques deployed, yet greater stress could be placed on the political economy of the media and a consideration of ideological bias. Indeed, while most of the study of literary journalism to date has focused on the corporate media, the future could see more studies of partisan, progressive, alternative media.

Islam as a religion of da'wah has obliged every Muslim to play a role in spreading the truth of the Qur'an. In the era of information technology like today, the spread of Islamic teachings can be done in various ways, including through memes. For millennials who are proficient with technology, Islamic memes are an alternative media for da'wah. This is due to the power of memes in conveying messages through image visualization and humour-style text. Islamic memes are generally distributed via the internet and messaging applications on smartphones. Most Islamic memes are designed using illustration styles. To understand the visual language of memes, this study formulates the question: how to read visual signs in Islamic memes as da'wah media, because the types of da'wah in memes are not only in the form of written text but also in the form of images? This study uses a combination method, which combines quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitatively, this study collects data about the views of the millennial generation on the attractiveness of illustration-style Islamic memes. Whereas qualitatively, an analysis of samples of illustration-style Islamic memes uses semiotic theory to see the structure of design elements as the visual language of da’wah messages. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for the scientific field of visual communication design, as well as encourage the creation of more productive and communicative Islamic memes as da'wah media for millennial generations.

There are three traditional categories of empathy – emotional, cognitive and compassionate or radical. For decades, empathy was seen as the antithesis of any kind of good journalism; that the journalist must at all times maintain detachment in order to do her job. But this paper interrogates, through the textual analysis of two Australian long form texts, including several epitextual artefacts, how empathy can perform as an evocative tool of narrative literary journalism creating richer and deeper meaning and depth of understanding. Both texts are hybrids of the form, mixing narrative inquiry, reportage and personal reflective practice. Here I argue that the first text conflates emotional and compassionate empathy, while the second privileges cognitive and radical empathy, ultimately and startlingly advocating compassionate empathy. Both provide for their audience an intimate glimpse into the private lives of others affected by trauma or occupying a particular place in cyberspace.

Pedagogical Approaches

LEARNING TO WRITE IS critical to becoming literate. In this paper we examine continuities and discontinuities in pedagogical approaches to writing across preschools and schools. Qualitative approaches to data collection and analysis were applied. Findings suggest that preschool teachers rarely introduce children to traditional or digital forms of writing, while schools seem to expect even their youngest students to write using letters and words and conventional written text structures. This suggests that there is a metaphorical ‘gate’ between the two settings with approaches to early writing based on which side of the gate the children are, rather than where they are on their personal writing learning journey. The authors provide a rationale for opening this gate in order to support young writers as they transition from prior-to-school settings to school.

INTRODUCCIÓN. Este estudio caracteriza las prácticas de textualidad digital de 18 estudiantes de bachillerato al tomar notas en el procesador de textos Word, sobre diccionarios en línea, monolingües en español e inglés y bilingües, inglés-español y español-inglés. Los alumnos exploraron los diccionarios y, para conocerlos, realizaron la consulta del verbo en inglés get. El enfoque corresponde a la literacidad en la textualidad digital. MÉTODO. El estudio contempla la identificación de recursos multimedia y modalidades de textualidad en los diccionarios, y la descripción de la escritura digital en los apuntes. El análisis textual involucra criterios de informatividad identificados en los diccionarios: usos de la lengua, consultas digitales, diseños textuales, fuentes de intertextualidad, coherencia e interactividad, así como la cohesión digital en la redacción expositiva y descriptiva, la intertextualidad mediante ilustraciones, hipervínculos y referencias léxicas y gráficas. RESULTADOS. Los apuntes evidencian el predominio en la identificación de herramientas prácticas en los diccionarios, y menor atención en la coherencia y la interactividad, así como dificultades para integrar la redacción expositiva y descriptiva con las modalidades digitales de intertextualidad, hipertextualidad y referencialidad. DISCUSIÓN. La consideración e identificación de diversos aspectos de textualidad en los diccionarios exhiben la variedad en la intencionalidad y el desempeño mediante recursos digitales y multimodales. Sin embargo, es necesario el apoyo docente y la práctica para apreciar de manera integral la información, así como para la redacción digital en los apuntes. INTRODUCTION. This paper reports on the digital practices of 18 high school students’ when taking notes with the text processor Word about the characteristics of on-line dictionaries—Spanish and English monolingual dictionaries and English-Spanish and Spanish-English  bilingual dictionaries. The students explored the dictionaries and, in order to get familiar with them, they worked with the English verb get. The approach implemented refers to literacy in digital textuality. METHOD. The study contemplates the identification of multimedia resources and textual modalities in the dictionaries and the description of digital writing in the notes. Classification and textual analysis involves the informativity criteria identified in the dictionaries: language use, digital searches, textual designs, intertextuality sources, coherence and interactivity, as well as digital cohesion in descriptive and expositive writing, intertextuality by means of images, hyperlinks and lexical and graphic references. RESULTS. The notes show a predominant use of practical tools in the dictionaries in comparison to coherence and interactivity. They also evidence difficulties to integrate expositive and descriptive writing with digital modalities of intertextuality, hypertextuality and referentiality. DISCUSSION. Consideration and identification of various aspects of textuality in dictionaries show various degrees of intentionality and performance through digital and multimodal resources. However, teaching and practice support is necessary to fully appreciate the information, as well as the digital writing in notes.

Urban Problems

Literary journalism, or long form reporting, intersects sociological research at the methodological level when analysing urban problems. To establish the connection between literary journalism and sociology, we focus on the influence early literary journalists had on the sociological/imagological and narrative construction of social problems and how literary journalism continues to be a tool in the unveiling of risk-related issues such as the exploitation of cheap labour and the degradation of urban environments. We examine a corpus of literary journalism texts through qualitative methods, namely content and discourse analysis, to conclude that literary journalism and sociology resort to the same data gathering methodologies, interviews, surveys and statistics, while narratively exposing life at the socioeconomic peripheries.

Over Time

Online booking services for accommodation have gained increasing importance in the tourist services provided by tour operators. This study intends to identify the main dimensions that characterize each of the payment methods and, for each of them, seeks to characterize the tourists' perception of the main advantages and limitations associated with them. This study adopts a quantitative analysis methodology through the use of an online survey. A final sample of 238 responses was considered. The data were explored using Stata software and adopting statistical inference methods based on the analysis of variance. The findings allow us to conclude that cash payment is the payment method that simultaneously presents better availability and easiness. However, it is also the most insecure of the considered payment methods. For its part, the debit card is considered the safest method. This study didn’t intend to analyze the evolution of these payment methods over time. Furthermore, other emerging payment methods such as NFC, QR codes, mobile wallets have gained recent relevance and may be interesting their inclusion in future studies. The results are mainly relevant for tourism agencies and demonstrate that tourists’ perception is conditioned mainly by their age and the number of performed trips.

Previous work suggests that written text produced by university students with dyslexia is scored lower than that produced by their peers. The present study used a digital writing tablet to examine the writing process and the quality of text written by university students with dyslexia. Revision behavior during and after writing was also investigated. Thirty-two university students with dyslexia (mean age, 20 years), were compared with 32 typically developing (TD) students matched by age. Students composed a written text in response to an expository essay prompt. In line with previous research, students with dyslexia made a higher number of spelling errors and their essays were rated as poorer than TD students. However, students with dyslexia were comparable to their peers on measures of time spent writing, amount of text produced, and the temporal analyses (handwriting execution, pause times). Students with dyslexia made significantly more revisions to spelling during and after transcription than their peers, although other revision behavior was similar across groups. Explanations for the finding of poor writing quality are explored. Importantly, the findings suggest that continued support with spelling and writing is needed for university students with dyslexia. Instruction directed toward effective revision strategies may also prove useful. Limitations and directions for future research are discussed.
