JOURNAL ROTURA
THE NEW EDITION OF JOURNAL ROTURA IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD
The fourth edition of CIAC’s Rotura – Journal of Communication, Culture, and Arts (Vol.2, N. 2) is now available online. The thematic dossier “Digital Media-Art” focuses on the investigation of creative, methodological, and communication aspects of digital artistic artifacts.
In “From digital performance to cyberperformance: transformation, transposition and innovation“, CIAC researchers Rosimária Rocha, Célia Vieira, Mirian Tavares, Inês Guerra Santos address cyberperformance, a format that gained popularity during the pandemic but began to gain independence and its own characteristics, beyond simple transposition (or media coding). In the article “Controversial Transmedia narratives: from streets to networks in (in)habitable places“, Marisa Guimarães Leite shows how video art installations communicate and impact the inhabitants of (in)habitable places, offering visibility to what so often remains invisible. Renato Guimarães Furtado focuses on how the migration from theater to digital platforms (in particular Zoom) fostered creative transformations in scenography (beyond simple transposition) and propelled an augmented experience, with the text “The art of facing networks: creations in augmented reality at Zoom Theater“. CIAC researchers Alexandre Martins and Bruno Mendes de Silva published “Word-Image-Movement: typography’s subsidies for modern and contemporary artistic discourse” where they explore the role of typographic animation, in which a simple word processor becomes an animation tool, transposing elements of habitual perception/immediate interpretation into a broad temporal appreciation. In “Development of the game Web Segura: a case study oriented to senior audiences”, Iolanda Bernardino, José Bidarra, Ricardo Baptista, Henrique Mamede present a game aimed at a sensitive public, with the double challenge of involving and sensibilizing it. João Pedro Sanson and Thais Vilar, in “Two years after the Sinogen: an anthropophagic experience, from sacrilege to the attraction of the city’s anniversary,” focus on how digital archives can preserve street art and also give it new contexts and audiences.
The dossier “Digital Media-Art” also includes two articles in the section Varia, as well as an art Chronicle: “The rhizome: concept, definitions and applications as an analysis methodology in communication and culture”, by João Paulo de Carvalho dos Reis e Cunha; “Broadcasting of the pseudo-events produced by Chega in the coverage of the electoral campaign for the 2019 legislative elections”, by Pedro Alexandre Maia Martins; and “Extended synthesis for some thirty years, Chronicle of the artist from Ceará (Brazil) who won the Young Researchers Award at the World Cultural Council 2022”, by André Feitosa de Sousa.
Directed by CIAC coordinators Mirian Tavares and Bruno Mendes da Silva, the fifth issue of the journal Rotura was edited by researchers António Araújo (CIAC/UAb), José Bidarra (CIAC/UAb) and Pedro Alves da Veiga (CIAC/UAb).
The next issue, scheduled for September 2023, will have as the theme “Communication in/of Science”. The call for papers is open until 15 May 2023.
