    Dolls gone fascist How Instagram account Barbie Fascionista satirized the Brazilian middle and upper classes Student Name: Ulisses Augusto Sawczuk da Silva Student Number: 491328 Word Count: 25723 Supervisor: Dr. Mélodine Sommier Master Media Studies - Media, Culture & Society Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication Erasmus University Rotterdam Master's Thesis 27 June 2019 DOLLS GONE FASCIST: HOW INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT BARBIE FASCIONISTA SATIRIZED THE BRAZILIAN MIDDLE AND UPPER CLASSES ABSTRACT Created during Brazil’s 2018 presidential election, Instagram account Barbie Fascionista published memetic images of the Barbie doll that were accompanied by captions and short texts in which the character expressed racist, classist, homophobic and sexist views, as well as her support for far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro. The profile – which was among several social media accounts that popularized the meme known as Fascist Barbie – quickly garnered more than 100,000 followers and received coverage from important Brazilian and foreign news outlets such as Folha de S. Paulo and Le Monde. Its main character – who represents a white, female, middle- or upper-class social media influencer – clearly satirizes Brazil’s affluent segments and engages with the polarized climate that permeated the 2018 election and divided the country between progressives and conservatives. Considering the increasing importance of digital artifacts such as memes for political debates and the significant sociopolitical moment that Brazil is going through, the study is based on the research question: How do the memetic images and texts published by Instagram account Barbie Fascionista portray the Brazilian middle and upper classes? Because the content of Barbie Fascionista features complex interconnections between written and visual texts, the investigation relies on a multimodal approach that combines two complementary research techniques – semiotic analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis.

Predicting Market Success delivers the key in- gredients for breakthrough marketing strategies: a clear-headed understanding of brands, and a predictive approach to measuring them.” Marc E. Babej President, Reason, Inc. “In the newly created world of utility deregulation, companies like KeySpan need to be able to differentiate themselves from their competitors. Predicting Market Success provides an easy to understand manual for applying engagement metrics to the brand, and defining what values create differentiation to create a successful brand platform for success.” Bob Catell Chairman & CEO, KeySpan Energy “Managers who cannot accurately measure and predict the performance of their brands cannot succeed. They are doomed to failure. This book provides an excellent road map with proven measurement tools. If managers follow it, they will not just succeed, they will dominate their competition.” Larry Chiagouris, PhD Associate Professor of Marketing, Lubin School of Business, Pace University “In a world where any marketer’s most important skill is dealing with con- stant change, Robert Passikoff is consistently the best signpost for what will happen next. His book will help marketers be more nimble and more purpose- ful in our nimbleness.

    Praise for Brand Failures

    Praise for Brand Failures... “You learn more from failure than you can from success. Matt Haig’s new book is a goldmine of helpful how-not-to advice, which you ignore at your own peril.” LAURA RIES, PRESIDENT, RIES & RIES, MARKETING STRATEGISTS, AND BESTSELLING CO-AUTHOR OF THE FALL OF ADVERTISING AND THE RISE OF PR AND THE 22 IMMUTABLE LAWS OF BRANDING “Every marketer will read this with both pleasure and profit. But the lessons are deadly serious, back to basics: real consumer benefits, value, execution. Read it, enjoy it, learn from it.” PATRICK BARWISE, PROFESSOR OF MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING, LONDON BUSINESS SCHOOL “Business books that manage to grab your attention, entertain you, and provide you with great advice, all at the same time, should be read immediately. This is one of those books. If you want to avoid being in the next edition of this book, you had better read it.” PETER CHEVERTON, CEO, INSIGHT MARKETING & PEOPLE, AND AUTHOR OF KEY MARKETING SKILLS “I thought the book was terrific. Brings together the business lessons from all the infamous brand disasters from the Ford Edsel and New Coke to today’s Andersen and Enron. A must-buy for marketers.” PETER DOYLE, PROFESSOR OF MARKETING & STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT, WARWICK BUSINESS SCHOOL, UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK “Brand Failures is a treasure trove of information and insights. I’ll be consulting it regularly! ” SICCO VAN GELDER, CEO, BRAND-META CONSULTANCY, AND AUTHOR OF GLOBAL BRAND STRATEGY “Matt Haig is to be congratulated on compiling a comprehensive and compelling collection of 100 cases of failures attributable to misunderstanding or misapplication of brand strategy.

LATER THAT YEAR, THE INTERNATIONAL WATER COMPANY (IWC) BEGAN CONSTRUCTION OF A WATER WORKS ON THE MESA NORTH OF FORT BLISS TO TAP INTO THE HUECO BOLSON AQUIFER. AROUND 1904, IWC REPLACED THE COMPRESSOR WITH A NEW PUMP PLANT. THIS NEW MESA PUMP PLANT DREW WATER FROM THE MESA WELLS THAT WAS THEN STORED IN A ONE-MILLION- GALLON, IN-GROUND TANK. HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO MEET DEMAND, IWC PUMPED WATER AT A RATE THAT EXCEEDED REPLENISHMENT. THE CITY OF EL PASO PURCHASED THE IWC IN 1909 FOR $927,000, BUT EVEN UNDER MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP, THE PUMP PLANT COULD NOT MEET THE DEMAND FOR WATER. BY THE LATE 1930s, THE CITY HAD BOTH EXPANDED THE MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM AND REVAMPED EXISTING FACILITIES IN ORDER TO MEET CONSTANTLY INCREASING DEMAND. BY 1937, THE CITY HAD BOTH A LOW-SERVICE DISTRICT SYSTEM FOR ELEVATIONS BELOW 3,850 FEET AND A HIGH-SERVICE DISTRICT SYSTEM FOR ELEVATIONS ABOVE 3,850 FEET; THE MESA PUMP PLANT WAS INCLUDED IN THE HIGH-SERVICE SYSTEM. THE CITY OF EL PASO DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND SEWAGE BUILT THE MESA WATER BOOSTING STATION IN 1938 TO REPLACE THE AGING MESA PUMP PLANT.

    Lapson – Direct Page 9 of 26

    Page 8 of 26 1 included with the Proposed Transaction, although it is quite possible that EPE will 2 experience a one-notch downgrade of its Moody’s rating due to weaker cash flow, 3 regardless of whether the Proposed Transaction is consummated. As is discussed below, 4 Moody’s placed EPE on negative credit outlook more than a year before the 5 announcement of the Proposed Transaction, therefore any future downgrade by Moody’s 6 would likely be the result of factors unrelated to the Proposed Transaction. While both 7 Moody’s and S&P took ratings action following the announcement of the merger 8 agreement, when the Proposed Transaction closes the protection of the credit ratings of 9 EPE will be aided by the full and complete set of ring-fencing commitments proposed by 10 the Joint Applicants. 11 In preparing my Direct Testimony, I compared the ring-fencing provisions 12 proposed by the Joint Applicants against a systematic and comprehensive list of standards 13 that reflects my prior experience regarding credit defaults and bankruptcies particularly in 14 the utility and energy sector. This master list of standards incorporates the guidelines 15 applied by the three major credit rating agencies. The Joint Applicants’ proposed ring- 16 fencing provisions satisfy every aspect of these standards. Taken together, these 17 protective provisions will provide strong separation for EPE and EPE’s customers and 18 communities from risk of involuntary consolidation in bankruptcy with Sun Jupiter, IIF 19 US 2, or any IIF US 2 affiliate. Equally important, the proposed ring-fencing provisions 20 will enable EPE to retain access to all of its own financial and physical assets and cash 21 flow so that EPE can properly conduct its business and remain viable, even in the case of 22 financial distress of Sun Jupiter, IIF US 2, or any IIF US 2 affiliate.
