Conflict Narratives

Social media has been integral for the organization and success of right-wing populist movements in the United States and Europe. Within online communities, discussions take place in which ideologies are formulated, iterated upon, and disseminated. One particular forum, hosted on the popular website reddit.com, r/The_Donald, has received media attention for its political influence. Despite the influence of online spaces in populist, far-right movements, relatively little attention has been paid to qualitative content of discussions that take place within such spaces, including r/The_Donald. Guided by a social representations approach, we analyzed how discussions on r/The_Donald represent sociopolitical groups. We focused on discussions of political affiliations, race relations, immigration, and culture. From a dataset of 8,198 posts, we selected 1,292 segments from 883 unique Reddit usernames and analyzed them using qualitative content analysis. The results showed that the majority of posts discussed liberals, race relations, and conspiracy theories, and in these posts, liberals and liberal ideas were delegitimized and mocked through their representations. These posts represented conservatives through antinomic contrast and comparison to liberals and liberal policies. The meanings of those representations in intergroup relations are discussed.

Song Lyrics

Introduction and Objectives. The importance of the study of social representations of mental disorders and psychiatry in music, and particularly in songs lyrics, have been discussed in previous communications. It is a small-explored topic, and most published articles do not exhibit a rigorous research methodology. In this communication, we review the methods used in published studies addressing depictions of mental disorders or mental health concerns in music (advantages and limitations); in order to propose a framework for the study of the social representations of psychiatry and mental disorders in song lyrics. Methods. Descriptive study. Methods used in thirty-seven articles addressing the depictions of mental disorders or mental health issues in music were reviewed. Frequencies of the research methods used are provided. Finally, a theoretical review of the advantages and limitations of different research strategies was performed. Results/Conclusion. Research designs are heterogenous between studies. Despite Content Analysis was the most frequent research strategy identified, there is a high representation of opinion articles or essays. Quantitative methods are rarely used (if we consider Content Analysis as a Qualitative Strategy). Content analysis is frequently used in studies addressing exposition to risk factors (mostly, depictions of substance use). We propose a mixed method by using descriptive statistics (frequency measures of references to mental disorders in song lyrics, that is a quantitative content analysis), followed by qualitative content analysis and thematic analysis. This strategy allows a deeper approximation to the contents, favoring the access to the social meanings of psychiatry or mental disorders expressed throught music.

The Media

Entender a complexidade da mobilidade humana, em pleno século XXI, faz-se necessário não apenas na agenda dos direitos humanos, mas nos meios de comunicação social. Por meio de uma Análise de Conteúdo Qualitativa referente a cinco meses dos telejornais Jornal Nacional e Jornal da Record e, posteriormente, a uma Análise de Discurso de quatro peças, foi possível verificar que esses meios não tem o cuidado de diferenciar as variações existentes dentro das migrações, como os refugiados, por exemplo, atualmente protagonistas de grandes conflitos. Para embasar teoricamente o estudo foram utilizadas as Teorias da Comunicação e a hipótese de Agenda-Setting, assim como a influência de agências internacionais na pauta da mídia nacional e as Representações Sociais de Serge Moscovici.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Refugiado, Imigração, Telejornalismo, Agenda-Setting, Representação Social.     ABSTRACT Understanding the complexity of human mobility in the 21st century is necessary not only in the human rights agenda, but in the media. Through a Qualitative Content Analysis referring to five months of the Jornal Nacional and Jornal da Record television newsletters and, later, a four-part Discourse Analysis, it was possible to verify that these media are not careful to differentiate the existing variations within the Migrations, such as refugees, for example, currently leading major conflicts. To theoretically base the study, we used the Communication Theories and the Agenda-Setting hypothesis, as well as the influence of international agencies on the national media agenda and the Social Representations of Serge Moscovici.   KEYWORDS: Refugee; Immigration, Television Journalism, Agenda – Setting, Content analysis.     RESUMEN Entender la complejidad de la movilidad humana, en pleno siglo XXI, se hace necesario no sólo en la agenda de los derechos humanos, sino en los medios de comunicación social. Por medio de un Análisis de Contenido Cualitativo referente a cinco meses de los telediarios Diario Nacional y Jornal da Record y posteriormente a un Análisis de Discurso de cuatro piezas, fue posible verificar que esos medios no tienen el cuidado de diferenciar las variaciones existentes dentro de las mismas, migraciones, como los refugiados, por ejemplo, actualmente protagonistas de grandes conflictos. Para basar teóricamente el estudio se utilizaron las Teorías de la Comunicación y la hipótesis de Agenda-Setting, así como la influencia de agencias internacionales en la pauta de los medios nacionales y las Representaciones Sociales de Serge Moscovici.   PALABRAS CLAVE: Refugiado, Inmigración, Teleperiodismo, Agenda-Setting, Representación Social.
