Vimos nos últimos anos a ascensão de governos de ultradireita em diferentes regimes políticos e de candidatos cujos discursos populistas vieram a se adequar ao uso das novas tecnologias da comunicação e da informação. No Brasil, observamos recentemente este fenômeno a partir da campanha e posterior eleição de Jair Bolsonaro à presidência da república. Partindo deste contexto, buscamos com esta tese compreender as transformações na comunicação política sobre e da terra no Brasil contemporâneo e as suas disputas, levando em consideração a crescente utilização das novas tecnologias da comunicação ao longo desse tempo e a sua integração no modo de comunicação em rede, a partir 1) da análise dos discursos relacionados ao tema nas campanhas presidenciais de 2010, 2014 e 2018, num contexto de ascensão do populismo digital, e 2) da comunicação articulada pelo Movimento dos Trabalhadores e Trabalhadoras Rurais Sem Terra (MST) nesse mesmo período. Para tal, desenvolveu-se uma análise de conteúdo seguida de uma Análise Crítica do Discurso sobre as campanhas presidenciais em debates televisionados e no Twitter de Dilma Rousseff e Jair Bolsonaro e uma análise de redes semânticas da conta oficial do Twitter do MST, seguida da aplicação de entrevistas em profundidade a então e atuais integrantes do setor nacional de comunicação do movimento.

The rise of political extremes, mostly right-leaning, is the most important European development of the 21st century due to its potential to undermine the continent’s integrity and security. One of the contexts in which such political extremes originate, develop, and thrive is among a group of football fans known as ultras. Ultras have become the most spectacular form of football fandom, showcasing violence, politics, masculinity, and a fervent support of the club, which has been demonstrated by several case studies, undertaken in a variety of settings.  The case study chosen to conduct this analysis was Portugal, where, despite the size of the phenomenon, ultra activism has not received much attention from researchers or policymakers. Over the last two decades, there have been increasing demonstrations of violence related to football fandom, including threats, destruction of public and private property, players’ cars, firm buses, etc.    ULTRA-VIOLENCE’s specific research objectives are: RO1. To map the themes populating the ultra world and the types of activism in which ultras are involved in through a digital ethnography RO2. To identify the micro-, meso-, and macro-level processes that shape individual pathways through the ultra world. This will be achieved by examining how football fandom and activism are intertwined in the material and intellectual paraphernalia produced by ultras and by analysing the life stories of current and former, male and female ultras, using the intersectionality of peace framework.  RO3. To understand the policing and securitisation of football fandom in Portugal and their implications regarding processes of radicalisation towards the commission of violence in the ultra community.  RO4. To produce knowledge for practitioner and policymaker audiences at European level to enhance their understanding and appreciation of how to invest in prevention and intervention strategies in the context of ultra violence and ultra activism.

The global economy and growing immigration have brought diverse groups in closer contact in major cities. Increasing rates of intermarriage, and of children born to them, have been widely acknowledged as an important aspect of contemporary super diverse territories. Mixed ethnic individuals are beginning to take up a strategic place in studies and policies. However, there is a lack of knowledge as regards this population and their experience, especially in Portugal. How do mixed ethnic families address the cultural socialization of their children? How do mixed children and young people negotiate identity and belonging within the context of their families? The proposed research is aimed at an in-depth understanding of the ways in which identities and belongings are created. Using a multi-interview research design, the project intends to interrogate the mixed ethnic family context as the site in which boundaries of belonging and identity are primarily defined. The objective is to advance existing theoretical and methodological frameworks for identity, ethnicity and family studies, through the study of a sample of 120 interviews with mixed origin families and their children.

O projeto tem por objetivo desenvolver a base científica para gerar modelos, processos e novas metodologias de avaliação integral de impacto nas dimensões social, económica, ambiental e cultural tomando, por base, a matriz IMP aplicada a um fundo de empreendedorismo social da SCML.
