O uso do mapa das mediações em análises de práticas de comunicação para a representação das diferenças na cultura da mídia

Abstract

When technology enters people's daily lives, different groups, social classes, genders, sexualities, and ethnicities begin to intervene in the construction of media space, resulting in mediations that interfere with the logics that constitute certain cultural products. The aim of this article is to reflect on the importance of thinking about the analysis of communication practices and their characteristics in terms of symbolic production and the representation of difference in contemporary media culture, and to present a map of mediations that we have created, which can be used to observe issues of visibility, sensitivity, resistance and differences that arise from the production of subjectivities in communication processes in the time and space of digital media. As a result, we believe it is possible to make methodological shifts in order to better understand, in communication, certain possibilities of expressing our relationship with the world, in the generation of reflexive and sensory exchanges of different ways of being and expressing oneself in the world.
