Redes, sociedade e pólis: recortes epistemológicos na midiatização

Antônio Fausto Neto 100 no qual a circulação rouba a cena da especificidade da ativida - de mediadora do jornalismo e afeta as condições de produção e gestão do acontecimento. Estas passam a ser tecidas segundo operações de discursos de campos sociais que se acoplam em torno de interpenetrações, gerando circuitos que vão além das fronteiras sistêmicas, ingressando em territórios desconhecidos e gerando bifurcações e descontinuidades. Os cenários examina - dos chamam atenção para mutações circulatórias entre práticas discursivas que vão além de operações de suas interfaces. Palavras-chave: Midiatização. Circulação.

Circulation is displaced from a naturalized comprehension to a central issue, especially within the discursive functioning of so - cial practices, such as the journalistic ones. It is no longer un- derstood by the transmission perspective, as conceived in the traditional view of functionalist studies, and moves to another perspective of a relational nature. According to this perspective, circulation is the result of the difference between the activities of producers and recipients of messages, whose dynamics is mani - fested through “bundles of relations” of discourses according to an enunciative work that points to an inevitable “misfit” of mean - ings. Based on these questions, this article examines the func - tioning of circulation in three landscapes that involve journalistic and non-journalistic discourses: in the first one, the journalistic media stood out as the place where circulation operated as a “zone of transposition” of messages, and the journalists as their carriers; in the second one, it is transformed into a “zone of ar- ticulation” woven by intertwining messages between producers and receivers, and in which journalists presented themselves as actors/mediators of the interaction between institutions and so - cial actors; and in the third one, circulation takes from the scene journalism’s mediating activity and affects the conditions of pro- duction and management of the event. These conditions begin to be woven according to operations of discourses of social fields that are coupled around interpenetrations, producing circuits that go beyond the systemic borders and enter unknown terri - tories, causing bifurcations and discontinuities.
