    How the portuguese media represented the first racialized female MP head of a political party
    (2021) Cardoso, Carla Rodrigues; Lamy, Sónia; Cerqueira, Carla; Martins, Carla; Cardoso, Daniel; Barradas, Alexandra; Ragasová, Anna
    This paper is part of an ongoing research that analyses the news coverage of the first six months of the parliamentary term of Joacine Katar Moreira, the first racialized woman head of the political party LIVRE (meaning ‘free’) in the general elections of 2019 in Portugal. PhD in African Studies, black woman, feminist and anti-racism activist, the first MP with a stutter, Joacine Katar Moreira arrived at the House with a renowned academic career and a history of engagement in the social area. The starting question which guides this research is: how did the national press – in both print and digital formats – represent Joacine Katar Moreira from 6 October 2019 to 6 April 2020? This period of analysis enables us to follow the two initial stages of her MP’s term - the debut as MP and the exit from LIVRE following irreconcilable disagreements. In February 2020 she became an independent MP and from this date onward, the media agenda was dominated by the issue of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the aftermath of the 2019 parliamentary elections, three new political parties entered the Portuguese Parliament: Chega! (meaning ‘Enough!’, far-right), Iniciativa Liberal (meaning ‘Liberal Initiative’, right-wing) and LIVRE (left-wing). It was expected that after the new parliamentary composition was settled, routine would set in which would dilute the novelty conferred by the media to the presence of these three parties. This would not be the case with LIVRE, as a result of the processes of Othering performed by the media, vis-a-vis the social situatedness of Joacine Katar Moreira. Throughout nearly four months, LIVRE and Joacine Katar Moreira would take up the media agenda, going from the euphoria of victory and the focus on the MP’s differentiating features, to the disputes between her and the party she was elected for. The process would come to a head on 3 February 2020, when LIVRE withdrew its political trust in Katar Moreira, who refused to leave the Parliament and became a non-attached member. The research aims at understanding how the Portuguese national press represented, framed and narrated the Joacine Katar Moreira case, not only the surprise of her election but to which extent her political persona defied the established patterns of Portuguese political news coverage. This paper will share the first results of the study. The corpus includes the front pages of newspapers, covers of magazines and homepages of nine selected media, both quality and popular press with different political approaches: Correio da Manhã, Diário de Notícias, Expresso, jornal I, Jornal de Notícias, Observador, Público, Sábado and Visão. The news and opinion pieces of the selected media are analysed using an intersectional approach, seeking to ascertain the dimensions used by newspapers, magazines and websites to represent Joacine Katar Moreira at their most important device as well as the implications of this social construction.

    Robosonic: Manipulação de Sons Aleatória Assistida por Robots
    (Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2009) Luz, Filipe Costa; Bila, Vasco; Jorge, Rui; CICANT (FCT) - Centro de Investigação em Comunicação Aplicada, Cultura e Novas Tecnologias
    Neste texto, pretendemos explorar as possibilidades de manipulação de sons num contexto de realidade aumentada (AR) através da utilização de robots. Utilizamos o comportamento aleatório dos robots, num espaço circunscrito para a modulação em tempo real de duas características do som: a amplitude e a frequência. Acrescentamos a possibilidade de interacção com estes robots dando a oportunidade ao utilizador de manipular a interface física, colocando markers no espaço de acção que alterem o comportamento dos robots e, por conseguinte, o resultado sonoro produzido. Pretendemos demonstrar que através de agentes, programação de aleatórios e manipulação directa desta aplicação, se pode gerar empatia na interacção e atingir resultados sonoros específicos, difíceis de reproduzir de outra forma devido aos ciclos infinitos que a interacção promove.

    Robosonic: Randomness-Based Manipulation of Sounds Assisted by Robots
    (Springer, 2009) Luz, Filipe Costa; Bila, Vasco; Jorge, Rui; CICANT (FCT) - Centro de Investigação em Comunicação Aplicada, Cultura e Novas Tecnologias
    In this text, we intend to explore the possibilities of sound manipulation in a context of augmented reality (AR) through the use of robots. We use the random behaviour of robots in a limited space for the real-time modulation of two sound characteristics: amplitude and frequency. We add the possibility of interaction with these robots, providing the user the opportunity to manipulate the physical interface by placing markers in the action space, which alter the behaviour of the robots and, consequently, the audible result produced. We intend to demonstrate through the agents, programming of random processes and direct manipulation of this application, that it is possible to generate empathy in interaction and obtain specific audible results, which would be difficult to otherwise reproduce due to the infinite loops that the interaction promotes.
