Tento manter consciência das oportunidades que tive para estudar, praticar esportes, cuidar da saúde física e mental. Sempre tive suporte de todos os tipos. Por esse apoio constante eu agradeço ao meus pais, Vera Lucia e Genésio. Sou muito grato por me proporcionarem grande parte das oportunidades na vida. Sem o apoio deles, minhas conquistas seriam muito mais difíceis. Agradeço a minha irmã Dayane pela amizade e companheirismo. Em muitas coisas ela foi um exemplo. Minha família toda, cada um à sua maneira foi um exemplo. Agradeço a minha esposa Priscila. Não por ser minha esposa, mas por ser minha amiga, companheira e suporte em tudo na vida. Obrigado, Pri, pelas correções na tese, pelo apoio quando eu estava mal humorado e pelo carinho nos momentos de tensão. Eu não sei como poderei retribuir todo o suporte e paciência. Você é um exemplo constante de dedicação. Ao Celso e Ivonete, meus sogros, uma família que me acolheu e apoiou sempre, meu muito obrigado. Um trabalho como esse nunca é feito sozinho, muitas pessoas como minha esposa e minha família, de uma forma ou outra, contribuíram. Mas quem caminhou ao meu lado durante os mais de 4 anos dessa jornada foi meu orientador Prof. Dr. Herom Vargas, e pelos ensinamentos, correções e camaradagem eu sou muito grato. Obrigado, Herom, pelas trocas de experiência e conhecimento. Espero que esse trabalho tenha tornado você um pouco mais nerd. Agradeço ao Prof. Dr. Mateus Yuri Ribeiro da Silva Passos e ao Prof. Dr. Antonio Roberto Chiachiri Filho, docentes do programa de quem não tive a oportunidade de ser aluno, mas sou grato pela leitura e apontamentos ao trabalho, assim como agradeço à Profa. Dra. Monica Rebecca Ferrari Nunes pelas contribuições nesta pesquisa, como avaliadora e referência do trabalho. Por fim, muito obrigado à Profa. Dra. Zuleika de Paula Bueno, minha orientadora do mestrado e intelectual brilhante que eu admiro. Sou grato Programa de Pós-Graduação em Comunicação Social da Universidade Metodista de São Paulo – PósCom, casa que sempre admirei e que abrigou pessoas que levarei para sempre comigo. Minha gratidão se estende aos funcionários e professores do programa. Especialmente àqueles com quem pude compartilhar o conhecimento, em especial agradeço às professoras Dra. Magali Cunha e Dra. Marli dos Santos, e ao Dr. José Salvador Faro, pela sensibilidade intelectual e por me ensinar a ser professor. Agradeço aos raros governantes e governos desse país que com muito pouco estenderam a muitos estudantes o direito de buscar um curso superior, o mestrado e o doutorado. Eu recebi bolsa em parte do meu mestrado e em parte desta pesquisa de doutorado, por isso agradeço a Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) pelo apoio financeiro. RESUMO ROCHA, Anderson Alves. DO LAMBDA AO BAZINGA! Transformações e recriações culturais no universo Nerd, 2020, 217 p. Tese (Doutorado em Comunicação Social) Programa de Pós Graduação em Comunicação Social. Universidade Metodista de São Paulo (UMESP, 2020). A cultura nerd representa um conjunto de ritos, práticas, signos e linguagens que, são desde sua origem articuladas, pelos veículos de comunicação. A representação dessa cultura está ligada diretamente ao ambiente de produção e consumo e ao momento histórico em que seus personagens e tramas são mostrados. É possível ver as transformações da cultura nerd, de suas representações midiáticas e de suas histórias e personagens em dois recortes no tempo, por meio da análise de produções midiáticas que pretendem representa-la. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é investigar os aspectos que identificam a cultura nerd em duas obras audiovisuais: o filme A Vingança dos Nerds (1984) e a série The Big Bang Theory (2007 – 2019), quais suas representações por meio dos personagens, histórias e situações, quais os textos que demonstram os elementos dessa cultura, e a partir destes objetos refletir como a cultura nerd se transformou, criando novas significações e representações, hibridizando novos elementos e textos ao seu redor, como um objeto da cultura da mídia. O pressuposto é que toda cultura é dinâmica e está sempre em transformação, como sua característica fundamental, seja pelo contato com outras culturas, ou pelas transformações inerentes a cada sociedade em cada momento distinto. Para discutir essas ideias, o trabalho será pautado nos estudos da Semiótica da Cultura e também nos Estudos Culturais como arcabouço teórico. Inicialmente, a pesquisa versará sobre os conceitos fundamentais da cultura, sua relação com a comunicação de massa e midiática e suas formas de (re)significação, tendo como base as ideias de semiosfera cultural e tradução defendidos por Iuri Lótman. Na sequência, a proposta é apresentar uma definição e um histórico sobre o conceito de nerd e sobre sua cultura. Palavras-chave: Cultura Nerd; Cultura da mídia; Representações. ABSTRACT ROCHA, Anderson Alves. FROM LAMBDA TO BAZINGA! Cultural transformations and recreations in the Nerd universe, 2020, 217 p. Thesis (Doctoral Thesis) Postgraduation Program of Social Communication. Universidade Metodista de São Paulo (UMESP, 2016). The nerd culture represents a set of rites, practices, signs and languages that, since their origin, have been articulated by the media. The representation of this culture is directly linked to the environment of production and consumption and to the historical moment in which its characters and plots are shown. It is possible to see the transformations of nerdy culture, its media representations and its stories and characters in two cuts in time, through the analysis of media productions that intend to represent it. Thus, the objective of this work is to investigate the aspects that identify nerdy culture in two audiovisual works: the movie Revenge of the Nerds (1984) and the series The Big Bang Theory (2007 - 2019), what are their representations through the characters, stories and situations, which texts demonstrate the elements of this culture, and from these objects reflect how the nerdy culture has been transformed, creating new meanings and representations, hybridizing new elements and texts around it, as an object of media culture. The assumption is that every culture is dynamic and is always in transformation, as its fundamental characteristic, whether through contact with other cultures, or through the transformations inherent to each society at each distinct moment. To discuss these ideas, the work will be based on the studies of Semiotics of Culture and also on Cultural Studies as a theoretical framework. Initially, the research will focus on the fundamental concepts of culture, its relationship with mass and media communication and its forms of (re) signification, based on the ideas of cultural semiosphere and translation defended by Iuri Lótman. In the sequence, the proposal is to present a definition and a history about the concept of nerd and about its culture. Keywords: Nerd Culture; Media culture; Representations.

  • Criminal Minds
    February 2020 #82 __________________________________________________________________________________________ _____ Broadcast Has Some Great TV Series Too By Steve Sternberg In December, I released my analysis of the 27 best TV series of 2019. In alphabetical order – Barry, Big Little Lies, Bosch, The Boys, Dead to Me, Fleabag, GLOW, Goliath, The Good Fight, The Good Place, Harlots, Jessica Jones, Killing Eve, The Kominsky Method, Mindhunter, The Morning Show, Mr Inbetween, Pose, Queen of the South, Rick & Morty, Russian Doll, Sneaky Pete, Star Trek: Discovery, Succession, This is Us, Vida, and Watchmen. As was the case with the Emmys, The Golden Globes, and virtually every TV critic, I demonstrated a clear bias against broadcast network series. Of my 27 best TV series, 15 are on streaming services, 5 are on premium cable, 5 are on ad-supported cable, and only 2 were on broadcast TV. There are, of course, some logical reasons for this. • Broadcast series have to answer to advertisers (and the FCC), so have limitations regarding language and sexual content that do not hinder cable or streaming services. A Sternberg Report Sponsored Message Reach thousands of highly engaged media and advertising decision makers. Contact [email protected] for details about advertising here. The Sternberg Report ©2020 __________________________________________________________________________________________ _____ • While cable and streaming series generally have between 6 and 13 episodes per season, broadcast series typically have between 17 and 24 episodes (although a few this season have 13). It’s difficult to write that many good episodes in a season, so it requires a lot more “filler.” • More broadcast dramas have self-contained episodes, as opposed to season-long story arcs, which are more prevalent on cable and streaming series.
