Between 2019 and 2023, media researchers from Södertörn University in UNISINOS and Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM) in Brazil, engaged in a collaborative effort to explore Scandinavian and South American perspectives on mediatisation, connecting universities from opposite sides of the world. Sweden, the project aimed to promote a nuanced understanding of mediatisation theory from different cultural perspectives and media studies traditions, dismantle epistemological barriers, and provide new insights into societies undergoing the process of mediatisation. The chapters presented in this volume are grounded on the mobility of researchers across both countries where a productive knowledge exchange contributed to diversify epistemological, empirical, and methodological approaches to mediatisation theory, and provide new perspectives on mediatisation theory in contested media scenarios in Sweden, Brazil, and beyond.

This book is one of the results of the V International Seminar on Mediatization and Social Processes, held in 2022, at UFSM. The e-book edition of the Debate Panels from the V Seminar is available not only at the collection of the project (https://www.midiaticom.org/e-books/) but also of FACOS UFSM (http://www.ufsm.br/editoras/facos/publicacoes/). The works from the WG unfolded in two bibliographic productions, available at the OJS platform, with ISBN: a) Expanded abstracts (142): https://midiaticom.org/anais/index.php/seminario-midiatizacao-resumos/issue/view/16; b) Full articles (33): https://www.midiaticom.org/seminario-midiatizacao/anais-de-artigos-do-v-seminario/. In five editions, these publications were accessed by 102 thousand researchers and users worldwide. In epistemological, methodological and empirical research terms, the V Seminar adds to the important collection for doctors’, masters’ and undergraduate’s research, besides serving as reference to the interlocutions of researchers involved in the research lineage in which it stands, according to what the metrics show: 166 listeners; 119 expositors in 12 working groups; 388 certificates emitted by UFSM/MIDIATICOM. We reiterate our acknowledgment to CAPES, FAPERGS, CNPq and STINT (Sweden) for the financial aid, essential to the viability of this proposal of conversation based on the theoretical and empirical research conducted by its participants. All of this would be impossible without the endorsement of POSCOM and UFSM, and the collective work of the Organizing Committee and Midiaticom. A hug of gratitude.

The volume assembles fresh treatments on the flâneur in literature, film and culture from a variety of angles. Its individual contributions cover established as well as previously unnoticed textual and filmic source materials in a historical perspective ranging from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first century. The range of topics covered demonstrates the ongoing productivity of flânerie as a viable paradigm for the artistic approach to urban culture and the continuing suitability of flânerie as an analytic category for the scholarly examination of urban representation in the arts. This productiveness also extends to the questioning, re-evaluation, and enhancement of flânerie’s theoretical foundations as they were laid down by Walter Benjamin and others. The work will be particularly relevant for students and scholars of literary studies, film studies and gender studies, as well as for theoretical approaches to flânerie as an important aspect of urban culture.

Entre 2019 e 2023, pesquisadores da área de midiatização no campo das ciências da Comunicação da Universidade de Södertörn (Suécia), da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (Brasil) e da Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (Brasil) formaram a rede de pesquisa Capes-STINT de estudos em midiatização, para explorar as perspectivas escandinavas e sul-americanas sobre essa linhagem, conectando universidades de lados opostos do mundo. O projeto visava promover uma compreensão diversificada das teorias e metodologias para pensar a midiatização, a partir de diferentes perspectivas culturais e tradições de pensamento, a fim de desmantelar barreiras epistemológicas, além de ampliar o campo para a análise de sociedades em processo de midiatização em um contexto global norte-sul. Os capítulos apresentados neste volume foram construídos em diálogos realizados durante a mobilidade dos pesquisadores entre os dois países, onde o intercâmbio de conhecimentos ajudou a diversificar as perspectivas empíricas e epistemológicas neste campo de estudo, contribuindo com novas abordagens sobre a teoria da midiatização em cenários midiáticos e disputas de sentidos na Suécia, no Brasil e além.

Este livro é um dos resultados do V Seminário Internacional de Pesquisas em Midiatização e Processos Sociais, realizado em 2022, na UFSM. A edição em e-book das Mesas de Debates do V Seminário está disponibilizada não só no acervo do projeto (https://www.midiaticom.org/e-books/), mas também da FACOS UFSM (https://www.ufsm.br/editoras/facos/publicacoes/). Os trabalhos dos GTs se desdobraram em duas produções bibliográficas, disponíveis em plataforma OJS, com ISBN: a) Resumos ampliados (142): https://midiaticom.org/anais/index.php/seminario-midiatizacao-resumos/issue/view/16; b) Artigos completos (33): https://www.midiaticom.org/seminario-midiatizacao/anais-de-artigos-do-v-seminario/. Em cinco edições, estas publicações foram acessadas por 102 mil pesquisadores e usuários no mundo inteiro. Em termos epistemológicos, metodológicos e de pesquisa empírica, o V Seminário agrega-se ao acervo importante para a pesquisa de doutorandos, mestrandos e graduandos, além de servir de referência às interlocuções dos pesquisadores envolvidos na linhagem de pesquisa em que se situa, conforme evidenciam suas métricas: 166 ouvintes; 119 expositores em 12 grupos de trabalho; 388 certificados emitidos pela UFSM/MIDIATICOM. Reiteramos os nossos agradecimentos a Capes, Fapergs, CNPq e Stint (Suécia) pelo auxílio financeiro, essencial para a viabilização desta proposta de conversação a partir de pesquisas, teóricas e empíricas, realizadas por seus participantes. Tudo isso seria impossível sem a chancela do POSCOM e da UFSM, e o trabalho coletivo da Comissão Organizadora e do Midiaticom. Nos abraçamos em gratidão.

This book consists of stories of struggles in science education presented by a network of science educators working in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Britain, and the United States. The common goal of these educators is to produce more socially/ecologically just models and practices of science education. The book considers and reworks the key-terms of current social justice: agency, realism, justice, and power. Its first section explores re-inhabiting science in the quest for more just worlds including reterritorializing science within emergent theories of critical realism, engaging citizens activists with corporate science, and challenging neoliberalism and the forces that organize (structure) knowledge. The second section redefines praxis of science education itself through nuanced explorations of agency, decolonialism, and justice in ways that emphasize complexity, hybridity, ambivalence, and contradiction. The stories of this international group capture individual and collective efforts, motivated by a persistent sense that science and science education matter for questions of justice.

Auf seinem Weg zu einer Dienstleistungsgesellschaft hat China derzeit - bedingt durch den demographischen Wandel sowie die sich verändernden sozioökonomischen Bedingungen - mit einem enormen Rekrutierungsengpass qualifizierter Fachkräfte zu kämpfen. Die vorliegende Studie geht der Frage auf den Grund, wie Arbeitgeber und Arbeitnehmer mit den neuen personalwirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen umgehen. Sie stellt dar, welche strukturellen Veränderungen sowie soziokulturellen Werteverschiebungen auf dem chinesischen (Hotel-)Arbeitsmarkt stattfinden und welche Faktoren ausschlaggebend für das vorhandene Arbeitsmarkt-Mismatch sind. Dabei verfolgt dieses Buch einen multiperspektivischen Ansatz: Vor dem Hintergrund der Signaling-Screening-Theorie und Erkenntnissen aus der Neuen Institutionenökonomik werden sowohl die von Arbeitgebern als auch von Arbeitnehmern benutzten formellen (Gesetze und Hukou) und informellen (Guanxi und Suzhi) Institutionen des Rekrutierungsprozesses beleuchtet und analysiert.
