O desafio da autenticidade na era da globalização

Conferência de Pedro Brieger, vencedor do Prémio de jornalismo Hrant Dink, na FCSH/NOVA, 24 de setembro, 10h30, Auditório 1, Torre B. A maioria da informação que hoje circula no mundo, e especificamente na América Latina e no Caribe, é gerada por um conjunto restrito de agências europeias e norte-americanas. Os mais influentes órgãos de comunicação social cobrem frequentemente a atualidade internacional com base no fluxo de notícias das agências EFE, DPA, AFP, Reuters ou ANSA. Uma das questões centrais na era da Globalização é perceber se essa realidade informativa pode ser transformada pela difusão de conteúdos produzidos regionalmente que reflitam a idiossincrasia dos respetivos povos.

II Congress on Net-Activism (call for papers)

The contemporary ecological cultures, sustainability practices, and digital activism movements that, through ways of non-institutional conflictuality carried out by interactions with social networks, marked the continuing protests at all latitudes, are the expression of a new type of social action no longer directed to the external, and not only stems from a practice caused by an informative and technical conditioning. The II International Congress on Net-Activism aims to discuss this new kind of inter-action and conflict, indicating by “net-activism” the set of collaborative actions that result from the synergy between actors that are not only humans, but also of different natures.
