O desejo juvenil de ser modelo profissional e a mediação da mídia: uma articulação desde o aporte de Martín-Barbero

This text brings part of the questioning from a thesis which investigated the relations between young girls’ media consumption and the desire to follow a model career. The discussion proposed here is about the mediation of the media in this consumption process. The concept is operationalized since the contribution of Jesus Martin-Barbero, and the results point to media excellence as a mediation that helps to configure the character of “dream” that this desire obtains for the young girls interviewed.

Sujeitos juvenis e protagonismo social em Jesús Martín-Barbero

Albeit Jesus Martin-Barbero does not dedicate any of his work exclusively to the topic of youth, he has been following and highlighting the agency of this new social actor emerging since the 1980s. He is attentive to youth protagonism in social processes and change within discussions that include identity, sociability, subjectivity, technology, education, contemporary media revolution and so on. This article is a summary of notes and discussions that assign a referential role to the youth. For the author, understanding youth culture means entering a gap that transcends the temporal period between childhood and adulthood; it means looking into the threshold through which a new sensorium might be envisaged — one which, in a non-linear fashion, connects to and also breaks from past and future.

Consumo, sentidos, usos e apropriações nas pesquisas de recepção: nem tão sinônimos, nem tão distantes

The article discusses the approaches and specificities of the meanings of consumption, senses, uses and appropriations, key concepts to the studies of the field called reception, especially the Latin American branch. Furthermore, addressed the differences between reception and media consumption. The proposals of Garcia Canclini and Martin-Barbero are used as a basis, as well as definitions of philosophy and sociology dictionaries. The expected is to contribute to the debate with some meanings, overlaps and contradictions of these terms to present a proposal that distinguishes them as a process of symbolic acquisition of media products.
