Since the proliferation of the mass media, society has experienced drastical changes, one of them in regards of power. In this essay I analize the power relationships between the mass media and their spectators, as well as their mechanisms and consecuences. I sustain that this mechanism is the narrative understood as a way of deliberately choosing information with the purpose to provide aesthetic feelings to the events on the world. This manipulation of reality generates a power relation as far as the citizen lacks alternative ways of knowing complex social realities, generating an information monopoly, information that can be manipulated both in its content (facts) and in its form (narrative) to show the spectator something that is not always the case. This would generate changes in public opinion which could be easily instrumentalized.

Resumo. Na última década, o mundo experimentou a consolidação de um novo modelo comunicacional, marcado pelo estabelecimento de um momento que teóricos como Pierre Lévy e André Lemos (2010) têm convencionado chamar de era pós-massiva. A principal característica desse período é a liberação da palavra para os indivíduos, que deixam de ser meros receptores da informação e passam a produzir e interagir de forma mais franca com o conteúdo. Nesse contexto, tornou-se inevitável o choque entre as temáticas conservadoras impostas pelos mass media - tradicional fonte de formação da opinião pública - e as progressistas, presentes sobretudo em pautas consideradas de minoria, como a dos movimentos Feminista e LGBT. Destarte, esta pesquisa aproveita o polêmico videocase “Badass”, produzido pela Agência Fischer, para observar à luz da semiótica sincrética como as intenções dos enunciadores - explicitadas pelas avaliações dos diferentes planos de conteúdo e expressão sobrepostos - entram em colapso com as expectativas dos enunciatários. Assim, busca contribuir para o avanço dos debates sobre os processos não-formais de educação na Web 2.0 à luz da semiótica sincrética.Palavras-chave: publicidade - semiótica sincrética - era pós-massiva - gêneroAbstract. In the last decade, the world has experienced the consolidation of a new communication model, marked by the establishment of a moment in which theorists like Pierre Lévy and André Lemos (2010) have agreed to denominate the post-massive era. The main characteristic of this period is the liberation of the word to individuals, who cease to be mere information receptors and begin to produce and interact more freely with the content. In this context, the clash between the conservative themes imposed by the mass media - traditional source of public opinion´s formation - and the progressives, who are mainly present in minority movements such as the Feminist and LGBT groups is inevitable. Thus, this research takes advantage of the videocase "Badass", a controversial video produced by the advertising agency Fischer, to observe, through syncretic semiotics, how the intentions of the enunciators - made explicit by the evaluation of different plans of content and expression that overlap - collapse with the expectations of the enunciates. Thus, this work seeks to contribute to the advance of debates about non-formal processes of education in Web 2.0 under the light of syncretic semiotics. Keywords: advertising - syncretic semiotics - post-massive era - gender

The phenomen of “fake news” disseminated by the mass media is a relatively new phenomenon, the impact of which has not been extensively studied. The article is devoted to the problem of fake in contemporary mass media, which is understood not only as a modern type of lie, but also a fabricated information designed to manipulate public opinion and creating specific form of an image of the world in the human consciousness.

In the twenty-first century, the mass media is increasingly seen as having a very pervasive influence: the extent and reach if it simply cannot be ignored. In communities large and small, and in countries all over the world, the mass media has the ability to set agendas and influence public opinion. In North America, the mass media is particularly ubiquitous; from television, to the internet, to newspapers, it has become difficult to avoid mass media products.

I show the intimate connection between the actions of the justices and support for the Supreme Court during one of the most critical periods of U.S. political history, the four months of 1937 during which Franklin D. Roosevelt sought legislation to “pack” the high bench with friendly personnel. Over the period from 3 February through 10 June 1937, the Gallup Poll queried national samples on 18 separate occasions about FDR's plan. These observations constitute the core of my analyses. I demonstrate the crucial influence of judicial behavior and the mass media in shaping public opinion toward the Supreme Court. This research illuminates the dynamics of public support for the justices, contributes to a clearer understanding of an important historical episode, shows the considerable impact of the mass media on public attitudes toward the Court, and adds more evidence on the role of political events in the making of public opinion.

In our era, the epoch of the mass media, the simplest and the most complex knowledge and experience is being increasingly presented or jointly shaped by young journalists, junior editors or relatively young media owners. The state of youth generally corresponds with more insufficiently articulated bright and classic, literary and timeless knowledge. Furthermore, the state of youth, which dominates the mass media scene in our environment, does not have enough field of experience as important guideline of a good professionalism. In theory, good information is a result of three journalist’s experience: the experience of a specific message (event), the earlier experience and pervious level of education. Now, how to compensate the leak of one of those elements on everyday basis? I am going to analyse a very simple, generally known and very important example in the „world of life” – the matter of „weather forecast” or „weather information”. It is becoming important yet even more sensational. For media credibility, even regarding this information, the classic and background knowledge is exceedingly important in addition to modern views „through telescopes-satellites”.

“THE EFFECT OF AUREOLE” AND “EFFECT OF PARTICIPATION” IN THE LIGHT OF INDEPENDENCE OF LAWYERS-SCIENTISTSThe purpose of the text is to signal the need to investigate the conditions for the preserva­tion of the independence of lawyers who practice and simultaneously engage in science. Research independence is understood in the text as loyalty to the principles of methodology and ethics of research. There have been, and will be, lawyers-scientists who are creative, well-skilled to do re­search, and also autonomous, capable of criticizing the status quo, striving for truth no matter what the consequences. In the 21st century, being in such aposition is getting harder and harder. This is due to the fact that many lawyers-scientists concurrently perform important social and occupational roles besides scientific research. The article focuses on two examples of conditions that hinder the preservation of independence and entice lawyers-scientists into the world of politics and ideology. It is: a the activity of lawyers-scientists in the mass media and the consequences of the so-called “aureole effect”, as well as b the “dual occupancy” and the meaning of “participation effect”.

Assessing the landscape since the 1960s in the pages of Dissent, Marshall Berman noted that “things that happen in New York are beamed instantly all over America, indeed, the world, thanks to all the mass media that are located here. Facts become symbols instantly—often long before they are understood.” During the urban crisis, “New York came to symbolize ‘urban violence.’” These words appeared in the Fall 1987 issue, “In Search of New York,” after ten years of postcrisis restructuring under Mayor Edward Koch. ...
