  • Black Women's Youtube Channels in Brazil As Fortalecimento
    Black Faces in White Spaces: Black Women’s YouTube Channels in Brazil as Fortalecimento ALIDA PERRINE University of Texas, Austin Abstract: A large and growing network of black women YouTubers in Brazil mobilize strategies of fortalecimento, a term used by some women to refer to how they prepare themselves to face the barriers created by the gendered racial hierarchy of Brazilian society. In this article, I examine these YouTube channels and the tactics black women use to increase their own visibility, to value black aesthetics, and to denounce racist and sexist acts or representations. Furthermore, I consider the importance of physical spaces, such as production studios, for YouTube success, and how black women negotiate material spaces as well as the video sharing platform to maximize their visibility and encroach on predominantly white spaces of cultural production. Using theories of intersectionality, representation, and subjecthood, I examine how these women use (virtual) communities to re-signify and pluralize black womanhood in Brazil. Keywords: Racism, sexism, social media, representation, cultural resistance When Nátaly Neri, a 21-year-old black college student, started her YouTube channel in 2015, it was one among thousands of other channels containing do-it- yourself videos about sewing and hairstyles. Scrolling through her videos, one finds showcases of thrift-store finds transformed into the unique fashion that defines Neri’s style, as well as detailed documentation of her transitions from braids to dreads and beyond. For many young black women like Neri with channels on YouTube, not just in Brazil but throughout the diaspora, haircare and styling is a common entry point to the practice of self-vlogging.

Trotz der Verlegungen wichtiger Großereignisse aus dem Bereich des Sports, Absagen von Live-Shows und Konzerten sowie Dreh-Verschiebungen sämtlicher fiktionaler Produktionen um meh- rere Monate hat sich die Krise nicht negativ auf die Nutzung der ZDF- Angebote ausgewirkt. Die traditionellen Medien im Allgemeinen und die Informationsangebote des ZDF im Besonderen erlebten ab Mitte März 2020 eine deutliche Nut- zungssteigerung. In dieser Entwicklung zeigte sich, dass das Publikum verstärkt auf Werte wie Glaubwürdigkeit, Verlässlichkeit und Relevanz setzte – die in repräsentativen Umfragen immer wieder belegten Ker- nattribute des öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunks. Nicht nur mit Nachrich- tenprogrammen sind die linearen und non-linearen Kanäle der ZDF-Fa- milie dem gesteigerten Nutzungsbedürfnis entgegengekommen, sondern auch mit hintergründigen Dokumentationen, Bildungs- und Wissen- schaftsprogrammen. Zudem waren und sind die Nutzer*innen auf der Su- che nach fiktionalen und unterhaltenden Programmen, darunter bei- spielsweise auch solche, die unter Pandemie-Bedingungen hergestellt werden konnten, wie fiktionale Kurzformen oder Kulturangebote an un- gewohnten Orten.

Where once “traditional” (free-to-air, cable, satellite) television was dominating, i.e. linear audiovisual media services, markets display nowadays strong growth of different types of video-on-de- mand (VoD), i.e. nonlinear audiovisual media services, including both Paid-for VoD like Am- azon Prime and Netflix and Advertised-financed VoD like YouTube. Competition policy deci- sions in such dynamic markets are always particularly challenging. The German competition authority was presented such a challenge when, at the beginning of the 2010s, German television providers sought to enter online VoD markets with the help of cooperative plat- forms. We review the antitrust concerns that were raised back then in an ex post analysis. In doing so, we first discuss the dynamic development of the German VoD markets during the last decade. In the second part of this paper, we derive four aspects, in which the previous antitrust analysis cannot be upheld from today’s perspective. First, relevant implications of modern platform economics were neglected. Second, some inconsistencies in the assess- ment of the two projects appear to be inappropriate.
