This thesis entitled "Media, Politics and Opinion: a complex triade - an approach to the
more representative opinion articles published in the Portuguese press", aims to
examine the quality press, which is the reference for such articles, from both the
theoretical and empirical point of view. It attempts to define the importance of opinion
articles within the ambit of the media. More specifically it attempts:
1. to assess the role of such articles
2. to see how opinion is viewed by the very people who give it
3. to determinate how receptive readers are to that opinion.
As far as methodology is concerned, the following instruments were used:
1. interviews with columnists;
2. a survey among readers of the newspapers studied (Público, Diário de Notícias,
Expresso e Independente) and
3. an analysis of the content of a corpus em...
This dissertation develops a research about public, media, communication,
politics and democracy in two interrelated levels: a theoretical delineation of this
problematic; an empirical work into uses and opinion about media and
information in the Portuguese reality, in the first decade of the XXI century.
Public are conceptualized as active agents in both social process of
communication and information, and democratic public life; simultaneously,
consumers and media users, information concerned social actors, and citizens,
primordial sovereign entity of democracy, as such, relevant vector of public
opinion about civic and political life, namely as far as public performance of media
and via media is concerned.
The Portuguese reality analysis highlights: (i) the importance and the
responsibility of television as public communi...
Does it still make sense to talk about “neighbourhood” in the Lisbon urban universe, after the profound transformations occurred in Portugal and in the World in the last decades, if not only to refer to “historic neighbourhoods”, or “popular neighbourhoods”? If it does, what is a “neighbourhood” nowadays? And in what ways, with which materials and symbolisms, is it shaped? This thesis searches to find answers to this questions focusing in the analyses of the “Telheiras” case, one of the new “neighbourhoods” of Lisbon. It is concluded that the concept of “neighbourhood” subsists in the imaginary of social actors, like an idealized image that guides the act. It also sustains that the existence of the modern “neighbourhood”, although indivisible from a physical territory, affirms it self, in a rhetoric territory.
This cross-national comparative (FR, PT, UK) research on homelessness takes the concept of risk as fundamental analytical string. Risk is a cultural and social construct that to be analysed leads necessarily to compare the perceptions of different social actors. In this case the institutional level and the homeless themselves.
As the institutional plan, responsible for the categorisation and regulation of the phenomenon, are considered documental sources (risk theories, empirical researches and international studies) and the social workers (from volunteers to managers). In what regards the homeless, the analysis focus on their life trajectories and symbolic perceptions for several domains, including survival strategies and the evaluation of the social provision services.
The empirical research is based on semi-directive interviews c...
Freedom of the press should be seen as one of the fundamental elements for the
implementation of democratic regimes. This paper tries to analyse the way in which the
smallness of a territory or a population necessarily determines a lesser degree of
freedom of the press, or whether this is more the consequence of the type of regime
operating. The analysis of the questionnaires distributed to journalists working in
Madeira led to the conclusion that a) there are limitations to press freedom, and b) these
do not exist in Portugal when the country is analysed as a whole. Analysis of the
interviews led to the conclusion that limits to press freedom are a result of local
government action, and specifically that of its president, as well as the lack of means
and/or lack of will to demand the minimum conditions to fulfil their obligat...
Apesar da sua reduzida dimensão, o território português possui geografias
regionais diversificadas. Diferenças de relevo, fortes irregularidades climáticas,
condições hidrográficas não unifonnes, solos de diferentes tipos, combinados
com modalidades de intervenção humana também diversas conjugaram-se na
criação de espaços rurais bastante contrastados. Tal diversidade manifesta-se sobretudo através das clivagens entre o Norte
e o Sul do país. As estruturas agrárias, consolidadas ao longo de séculos
constituem um dos elementos mais expressivos desse contraste.
