Is Favela Media Activism Effective in Reaching the General Population Outside the Favelas? 520 $a "The mainstream media in Brazil portrays favelas (unregulated low-income neighbourhoods) in a negative light. This has been the case since their emergence over a century ago. Voices from the Favelas navigates through the contemporary representation of the favelas in the established media, discussing how this partial representation impacts issues of identity and social segregation and the legitimation of structural violence in those sites, and providing an account of the recent emergence of digital social networks as 'counterpublics.' In order to understand the struggle against the characterisation of the favela as a site dominated by violence (a framework which has been disseminated on a global scale and accepted as the norm), this book takes its readers inside the mindset of the favela media activists, examining the production of information and the organisation of the residents as they resist and challenge the status quo. Are the activists able to counteract the official narrative in the struggles against misrepresentation and social invisibility, or is the mainstream version of the favela still strong enough to help in the legitimation of the institutionalised violence?"--Back cover. 650 0 $a Poor $x Press coverage $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Poor $z Brazil $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a Slums $x Press coverage $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Slums $z Brazil $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a Violence $x Economic aspects $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Local mass media $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Poverty in mass media. 650 0 $a Violence in mass media. 650 0 $a Public opinion $z Brazil. 650 7 $a Local mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01001428 650 7 $a Poor $x Public opinion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071134 650 7 $a Poverty in mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01910061 650 7 $a Public opinion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082785 650 7 $a Violence $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01167226 650 7 $a Violence in mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01167284 651 7 $a Brazil. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206830 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781538147443 830 0 $a Protest, media and culture. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032623.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4691313A0CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
