This paper aims to unravel the way Portuguese citizens and institutions have been adopting online platforms for social networks within the framework of solidarity and citizenship against cancer. The authors will present an analysis of the communication strategies implemented by institutions and their outcomes, aiming at clarifying the contribution that this type of participatory media have been giving to the oncological cause. In the Portuguese case, this activity occurs essentially among the most disseminated online platforms, namely: Twitter, YouTube, blogs and mostly on Facebook. The study focuses on the activity of renowned oncologic institutions on Facebook, as well as on various other online platforms for social networks. After the analysis and evaluation of the institutions' activity the authors present a set of recommendations that will help them in using social networks to citizenship missions in oncology.

PT. A mudança nos modos de acesso aos conteúdos noticiosos nos espaços online leva a alterações na forma como se produz e se publica as notícias e outros materiais informativos. No Facebook é possível identificar essas novas características, especialmente porque é preciso disputar a atenção dos leitores e fazer com que as postagens sirvam de ponte para o acesso aos sites e portais de conteúdo. Com o jornalismo online, os títulos amplificaram seu prestígio como um possível diferencial mercadológico de atração e, mais uma vez, influenciados pela concorrência e pelas possibilidades do suporte, sofreram mudanças. Desse modo, este artigo tem a finalidade de identificar como os veículos brasileiros que migraram de plataformas tradicionais para o espaço digital têm feito uso de distintos elementos na construção das postagens quando se trata de publicações no Facebook. A proposta é entender como se configuram as estratégias narrativas e caça-cliques nos títulos produzidos nessa rede social, considerando para análise o conteúdo disponível na postagem realizada pelas empresas jornalísticas. Selecionou-se o conjunto que configura sua estrutura semântica –– frase, links, texto de apresentação, entre outros recursos encontrados – já que é a chamada total, e não apenas a frase textual do compartilhamento, que serve de isca naquele espaço. Para tanto, são analisados os posts no Facebook dos seguintes jornais: O Globo, Estadão, Gazeta do Povo, Diário Online, Diário de Pernambuco. Os dados foram coletados durante uma semana e totalizaram 1.745 textos, os quais foram analisados a partir do tema, do formato e da estrutura textual. Sobre a abordagem metodológica, a pesquisa fez uso da Análise de Conteúdo quantitativa. Pretende-se com o estudo contribuir para a discussão sobre estratégias de titulação associadas aos novos espaços de circulação de conteúdo e aprofundar o questionamento sobre as particularidades que definem os títulos nas redes sociais.    ***   EN. Changes in the way news content is accessed online leads to changes in the way news and other information are produced and published. These changes are readily identifiable on Facebook, both in response to the stiff competition for readers' attention, and because posts must serve as bridges to websites and content portals. This results in an increase in the importance of online headlines as vectors of attraction, and constant adaptation given the extreme competition and support opportunities. This study sets out to identify how Brazilian media enterprises that migrated from traditional to online platforms have made use of different elements in the construction of Facebook posts. The goal of this paper is to understand how narrative and click baiting strategies are configured into FB headlines and the content available in the posts. The overall configuration of the post's semantic structure is taken into consideration – phrasing, links, presentation text, where among other resources it is found – since it is the total appeal, and not just the textual phrasing, which serves as bait in that space. To this end, the FB posts of the following newspapers are analyzed: O Globo, Estadão, Gazeta do Povo, Diário Online, Diário de Pernambuco. Data were collected over a one week period (1745 texts) and an analysis conducted based on theme, format and textual structure. With respect to research methodology, the study made use of quantitative content analysis. The aim of the paper is to contribute to the discussion of headline strategies associated with new content dissemination platforms and to further analyze the particularities that define headlines on social networks.   ***   FR. Les changements dans la façon d'accéder au contenu des actualités en ligne ont entraîné des changements dans la façon dont les actualités et autres informations sont produites et publiées. Ces changements sont facilement identifiables sur Facebook, à la fois en réponse à la forte concurrence pour attirer l'attention des lecteurs et parce que les messages doivent servir de passerelle vers les sites web et les portails de contenu. Il en résulte une augmentation de l'importance des titres en ligne comme vecteurs d'attraction, et une adaptation constante compte tenu de la concurrence extrême et des possibilités de soutien. Cette étude vise à identifier comment les entreprises médiatiques brésiliennes qui ont migré des plateformes traditionnelles vers les plateformes en ligne ont utilisé différents éléments dans la construction des posts sur Facebook. L'objectif de cet article est de comprendre comment les stratégies de narration et de clickbait sont configurées dans les titres sur Facebook et dans contenu disponible dans les posts. La configuration globale de la structure sémantique du post est prise en considération - formulation, liens, texte de présentation, où entre autres ressources il se trouve - puisque c'est l'attrait total, et pas seulement la formulation textuelle, qui sert d'appât dans cet espace. À cette fin, les posts Facebook des journaux suivants ont été analysés : O Globo, Estadão, Gazeta do Povo, Diário Online, Diário de Pernambuco. Les données ont été collectées sur une semaine (1745 textes) et une analyse a été réalisée sur la base de la thématique, du format et de la structure textuelle. En ce qui concerne la méthodologie de recherche, l'étude a eu recours à une analyse quantitative du contenu. L'objectif est de contribuer à la discussion des stratégies de titres associées aux nouvelles plateformes de diffusion de contenu et d'analyser plus en profondeur les particularités qui définissent les titres sur les réseaux sociaux.   ***

The chapter starts with a brief overview of the study of political personalization online, then focuses on its claims concerning the influence of online platforms on political personalization. It then analyses online personalization by comparing the online presence and activity of parties, party leaders, and prominent politicians from twenty-five democracies, and also the consumption rate of their Facebook pages. High variance at the national levels of personalization online demonstrates that personalization is not a necessary development of politics in the age of online social networks. Levels of online controlled media personalization do not seem to be generally high. Parties are present online more than individual politicians, and in most cases the amount of their output is higher. Online personalization in voters’ behavior—the consumption side—is, however, prevalent. Such personalization is evident in the amounts of the consumption of the outputs of party leaders, but not of other prominent politicians.

In the field of Deaf Geographies, one neglected area is that of the individual deaf body and how individual deaf bodies can produce deaf space in isolation from one another. Much of the work published in the field talks about collectively or socially produced deaf spaces through interaction between two or more deaf people. However, with deaf children increasingly being educated in mainstream schools with individual provisions, and the old social networks and institutions of deaf communities coming under threat by the closure of deaf clubs and changing work practices, more research on the way in which individuals can produce their own deaf spaces and navigate those spaces is needed. In this paper, I outline two possible theoretical approaches, that of Lefebvre’s productive gestures to produce social space, and Bourdieu’s habitus, capital and hexis. I suggest that these theories can be productively utilised to better understand the individual basis of the production of deaf spaces.

Bourdieu's work has been an important point of departure for recent analyses of the relationship between social class and consumption practices. This chapter takes stock of Bourdieu's influence and explores some problems which have become apparent—often in spite of Bourdieu's own hopes and general views. We point to the way that Bourdieu's influence has led to an approach to consumption which focuses on the consumption practices of specific occupational classes and on examining variations in consumption practice between such occupational groups. We argue that it this approach has a series of problems and suggest the need to broaden analyses of consumption to consider issues of ‘everyday life’, sociation, and social networks.

В статье приводятся результаты комплексного анализа лингвистических паттернов коммуникации топовых российских журналистов в официальных аккаунтах социальных платформ ВКонтакте, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. Целью данной статьи является изучение лингвистических паттернов, продуцируемых топовыми журналистами в своих онлайн-аккаунтах, способных задавать векторы восприятия политического контента, создаваемого главными лидерами государств, и приводящих к трансформации дискурсивных полей как в онлайн-, так и в офлайн-пространстве. Среднестатистический россиянин тратит почти половину дня на онлайн-взаимодействие, почти 50 % этого времени приходится на популярные социальные медиа, в том числе интернет-серфинг в среде официальных аккаунтов топовых журналистов. Потребление данных паттернов рядовыми пользователями / читателями, находящимися под «силовым» влиянием дискурсивного поля, становится определяющим фактором в процессе выработки и принятия индивидуальных / коллективных решений, реализация которых формирует то или иное социальное действие как в онлайн-, так и в офлайн-пространстве. Согласно данным мониторинга социальных медиа и СМИ компанией «Медиалогия», нами были выбраны аккаунты Алексея Венедиктова, Владимира Соловьева, Владимира Познера, Маргариты Симоньян и Ксении Собчак в ВКонтакте, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. Эмпирической базой (дата-сеты) стали все посты, комментарии и ветки дискуссий, отражающие реакцию данных журналистов и общественности на Послание Президента РФ В. В. Путина Федеральному Собранию РФ от 15 января 2020 г. Дата-сеты были получены машинным методом сплошной выборки и подвергнуты комплексному анализу, включившему сетевой, лингводискурсивный, фолксономический анализ. В результате проведенного исследования были сделаны выводы о том, какими лингводискурсивными особенностями характеризуются посты топовых журналистов в популярных социальных сетях; как характеризуются лингвистические паттерны, продуцируемые топовыми журналистами в онлайн-пространстве; как различается контент, создаваемый журналистами в разных социальных сетях; каковы особенности этих различий в зависимости от специфики самих социальных платформ; как влияет политический контекст на лингвистические паттерны, продуцируемые топовыми журналистами в онлайн-пространстве. The article presents the results of a comprehensive analysis of the linguistic communication patterns of top Russian journalists in the official accounts of the social platforms VKontakte, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. The purpose of this article is to study the linguistic patterns which are produced by the top journalists in their online accounts and which can set vectors of interpretation of political content created by state leaders and cause the transformation of discourse fields both in online and offline spaces. The average Russian spends almost half a day on online interaction, almost 50% of this time is spent on popular social media, including surfing the top journalists’ official accounts. The linguistic patterns produced by journalists in their online accounts are capable of transforming discursive fields both online and offline. The consumption of these patterns by ordinary users / readers who are under the influence of the discourse field becomes a determining factor in the process of making individual / collective decisions, the implementation of which forms a particular social action both in online and offline spaces. According to “Mediologia” monitoring data of social and mass media, the authors selected the accounts of Aleksey Venediktov, Vladimir Solovyev, Vladimir Pozner, Margarita Simonyan, and Ksenia Sobchak in VKontakte, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. The data sets of the study are all the posts, comments, and threads of discussions that reflect the reaction of the above-mentioned journalists and the public to the Presidential Address to the Federal Assembly on 15 January 2020. The data sets were gained through a continuous sampling method and underwent a comprehensive analysis including network, linguo-discursive, folksonomic analyses. As a result of the study, the authors have drawn the conclusions on what linguistic and discursive features characterize the posts of the top journalists in popular social networks; the way the linguistic patterns produced by the top journalists in online space are characterized; the way the content created by the journalists in various social networks differs; what is the specificity of these differences depending on the specificity of the social platforms themselves; the way a political context affects the linguistic patterns produced by the top journalists in online space.

O discurso publicitário está presente no cotidiano das pessoas por meio de diversos tipos de mídia: anúncios na TV, impressos, outdoors ou nas redes sociais. Entre os recursos utilizados pela publicidade para convencer as pessoas sobre os produtos, serviços ou ideias que se deseja vender nos interessa estudar o uso da linguagem verbal, mais especificamente a maneira com que a publicidade constrói sentido por meio da linguagem. Assim, este artigo pretende analisar alguns enunciados de uma campanha publicitária realizada pela instituição financeira Citibank sob o olhar da teoria enunciativa desenvolvida por Oswald Ducrot. A campanha serve como  exemplo do jogo argumentativo que pode ser criado por meio da linguagem verbal, enredado em si mesmo, onde o locutor não fala sobre o mundo, mas fala para construir o mundo e explicitar a sua verdade por meio de argumentação linguística e não, necessariamente, retórica. Abstract: Advertising speech is present in people's daily lives through various types of media: TV ads, print ads, billboards, or social networks. Among the resources used by advertising to convince people about the products, services or ideas they want to sell we are interested in studying the use of verbal language, more specifically the way in which advertising builds meaning through language. Thus, this article intends to analyze some statements of an advertising campaign carried out by the financial institution Citibank under the view of the enunciative theory developed by Oswald Ducrot. The campaign is a great example of the game of argumentation that can be created through verbal language, entangled in itself, in which the speaker does not speak about the world, but speaks to build the world and to explain its truth through linguistic argumentation and not , necessarily, rhetoric.

Feminist movements are currently asserting themselves by the capacity of involvement and aggregation of activists and the public identified with the feminist cause, who have in common both the struggle for women's rights and the spaces where they create existence and attribute dimension to that struggle: digital social networks. The purpose of this article is to understand the communication strategies, supported by dialogue, that underlie this aggregation and sharing of meaning when it comes to feminism and its close connection with the fight for gender equality, the end of gender violence or the eradication of racism. Based on the theoretical review on networked PR (Grunig, 2009; Kent, 2017), networked dialogue (Theunissen & Wan Noordin, 2011; Smith & Taylor, 2017; and networked feminism (Fullagar, Parry and Johnson, 2019; Keller, Mendes & Ringrose, 2018; Araüna, Willem & Tortajada, 2019; Yang, Uysal & Taylor, 2017), we applied content analysis (Bardin, 2006) to publications and digital interactions on two Portuguese feminist platforms. Thus, in an adaptation of the model proposed by Lane and Kent (2018) - Dialogic Engagement Interaction - this exploratory study analyzes the dialogical involvement of Coletiva and INMUNE - Instituto da Mulher Negra de Portugal. The analysis results, however, shows a low level of dialogical involvement between organizations and their audiences and, consequently, a reduced collective force to stop online hate clusters with increasing protagonism and with highly technological and effective modus operandi. Thus, the outcomes indicate that the two platforms analyzed do not apply communication strategies through dialogue, limiting exchanges between the organization and the public to the classic top-down communication option, summarizing the practice of dialogical involvement in social digital media to the publication unidirectional content and openness to comments and other reactions. As for the hypotheses raised, only one of them was validated, taking into account that 1) there was no significant dialogical involvement in the content analysis of the two feminist platforms, and 2) although we were unable to verify in the content analysis of the two feminist platforms, the theoretical review validated the idea that online anti-feminist and hate clusters can be fought by online anti-feminist and anti-hate clusters with the same effectiveness in spreading messages as the former. And here, the networked PR must take the strategic and tactical leadership of the action. This work also proposes a model for the analysis of dialogical involvement in digital social networks based on the broader initial proposal of Lane and Kent (2018). The model we propose comprises six categories: 1) existence of comment(s), sharing(s) and / or emoji(s); 2) existence of comment(s) and answer(s); 3) existence of dialogue (with the five dialogical principles: mutuality, propinquity, empathy, risk and commitment; see in Kent, 2017).; 4) existence of freedom to choose the theme and the dialogical flow (when both parts – public and organization – are given freedom to choose the topic and flow of dialogue); 5) without agenda or manipulation (when there is no intention to put issues on the agenda, essentially, those that indicate manipulation); and 6) rhetorical (when a persuasion strategy is applied by both parts participating in the dialogue).
