Event analysis: methodological possibilities

This article aims at reflecting about how the concept of event can be a methodological guide and/or operator in the Communication field. To do so, we started by presenting the pragmatist notion of event. Then, we highlighted some analytical standpoints: the hermeneutic power of the event in the search for meaning regarding temporalities and frameworks; the susceptibility of the event in analyses regarding experiences, effects and the setting of publics; the double life of the event to investigate the existential and symbolic dimensions of a phenomenon; spectacularization in the study of media events; and the individualization of the event to interpret its peculiarities and the social contexto it brings out.

'Troca de Família': spying families, seeing society

This paper presents a reading of the television show Troca de Família, broadcast by Rede Record. The analysis of this reality show urges us to review the characteristics of reality shows, placing them in the broader dynamic of values and social conflicts and in the context of culture. Through the analysis of an episode, we propose to investigate how mothers insert in the new home and the relations that they establish in new families. Illuminated by performance concept and after we have developed an analytical grid based on fixed and central program events, we are faced with the conflicting coexistence between two very different family models. During the relationship, more than the role of the mother, acted cultural models that instructed the performance of the participants and highlighted their differences and contradictions.Este texto apresenta uma leitura do programa televisivo Troca de Familia , apresentado pela Rede Record.
