Brô MC´s: Rap em Português e Guarani

Jovens indígenas cantam rap “pra fazer a diferença” (Brasil)

Clemerson, Kelvin, New e Charlie integram o Brô MC´s, um grupo formado por jovens indígenas que cantam rap no português e em guarani, língua materna do povo Guarani/Kaiowá. A inusitada mistura soa diferente aos ouvidos num primeiro momento, mas é genuinamente brasileira e, como eles mesmos definem, uma linguagem verdadeiramente brasileira

Os ensaios acontecem na escola, onde também dançam e elaboram os arranjos das músicas com base de teclado, incluindo batidas do maracá, do bumbo e o toque da flauta, instrumentos essencialmente indígenas. O grupo só canta as músicas próprias, que viram uma mescla inédita no país, do português com o guarani.

Media, Crianças e Jovens (seminário livre de Mestrado)

Seminário de Mestrado (início: 8 de fevereiro 2011)
Professor responsável: Professora Doutora Cristina Ponte
Departamento: Ciências da Comunicação
Horas semanais: 4 / Língua de ensino: Português
Créditos ECTS: 10.0 / 16 sessões de 3 hrs

Objectivos: A influência dos media sobre crianças e jovens (0-18 anos) é um tema recorrente, frequentemente associada a relações de causalidade de difícil confirmação. Crianças e jovens têm uma presença crescente nas notícias enquanto lideram no uso de media digitais em países como Portugal, crescem as indústrias culturais direccionadas para consumos que lhes são destinados e as preocupações para com o seu presente e futuro. O presente Seminário irá ao encontro destas diversas perspectivas, trabalhando questões relacionadas com a representação de crianças e jovens nas notícias e noutros espaços dos media, bem como dimensões da sua própria experiência com os media, numa perspectiva histórica, do século XIX à contemporaneidade.

Jornada de uma jovem luso-canadiana (livro)

Imagine a teen being told that he or she has to follow their immigrant parents and begin a new life in a place that says nothing to them, taken from friends and school. This is a reality we are all well aware of. Stories of kids and weeping parents making headlines in the media. Nelsa Roberto, a luso-canadian writer from Toronto took the challenge to tell the story of a young girl whose family is deported to Portugal.

When seventeen-year-old Lucy do Amaral comes home with newly bleached blonde hair she expects a major lecture and another grounding from her strict Portuguese parents. What she doesn't expect is the shocking news that her parents are illegal aliens who've just been told they're being deported in less than a week (..:)

Transnational family making: children, young people and migration

Whilst children and young people are often at the core of the migration flows toward EU countries (‘on the move’, ‘left behind’ or as main ‘rationale’ for migration), they do not always receive the proper academic interest. This workshop aims to explore the migratory experiences of families (including children and young people) and to examine how policy-makers and service-providers assist children and families in this process. The workshop aims to bridge the gap between otherwise separated scholarships on immigration and emigration, by exploring the understanding of migration from home and host societies.
(...)
The workshop welcomes presentations that explore children, young people and parents own experiences of migration, but also papers that critically examine the policy provisions and social interventions aimed at children, young people and parents in the origin and arrival countries.

Deadline for online submission: 15 July 2010
