Retro violence as a paradoxical fight for the environment
Violent retro video games contribute to a circular economy of nostalgia amidst the backdrop of climate change. This reuse of old games stands in contrast to the escalating resources devoted to new video games and consoles, which contribute to the growing issue of technological waste. How does this material retro circular economy intersect with the environmental meanings embedded within these games? Using Actor-Network Theory methods, the author c…
The Replacement of What? Artificial Intelligence, Creativity and (More-than-)Humanness
The ongoing discourse regarding the potential substitution of human creativity by Artificial Intelligence (AI) raises questions about the essence of human nature. If the essence of humanity lies in creativity, and if AI can replicate this trait, it appears that creativity alone does not define what it means to be human. Rather than perceiving this as an ‘anthropological loss’ to be accepted or fought against, it can be viewed as an occasion to co…
Posthumous events
Purpose Investigate the effects on audiences of musical events based on the digital simulation of artists who have already passed away, utilizing comments on YouTube recordings of these events. Design/methodology/approach Comparative analysis of the two most viewed videos of events featuring the singers Michael Jackson and 2Pac, with a combined total of 150,000,000 views and 100,000 comments, employing a quantitative and qualitative linguistic an…

Not in My (Media) Backyard
Journalism's economic crisis affecting the Global South and Semi-Peripheral countries has made them more vulnerable to the mainstream media conglomerates from the Global North. The control of global agendas of information is also an opportunity to influence the political narrative about responsibilities regarding climate change. The objective of this research is to analyse how CNN Brazil and CNN Portugal depict the US climate crisis and to evalua…
Can the past save sustainability’s future
Retro video games play a role in fostering a circular economy of nostalgia within the broader context of climate change. The reutilization of older games contrasts sharply with the increasing consumption of resources dedicated to the production of new video games and consoles, which, in turn, exacerbate the issue of technological waste. How does this material retro circular economy intersect with the environmental meanings embedded in these games…
The Media Ethics of Tele-Surgery Spectres
Tele-surgery, with its attempts to create and break distances in the surgical act, can be interpreted through the figure of the ‘ghost.’ The ghost can be seen in the images, simulations, doubles, incorporeal aspects, and dematerialisation of the medical act that emerge with the increasing tele-technological mediations in medicine. However, speaking of ghosts in medicine seems to be a pathological discourse in itself. Only someone ill might still …
Art in chrono-urbanism
Horsing around
The Tokyo 2020 Olympics Pentathlon incident, where German athlete Annika Schleu lost control of the horse Saint Boy, led to the termination of the show-jumping event and exposed the unstable relationships and definitions established between human and more-than-human actors. Analyzing comments on the three most-viewed YouTube videos on this case through Actor-Network Theory, we examine how responsibility is distributed between the two actors invol…
Has the concept of censorship gone astray? How to operationalize muddy waters? Half a century of censorship in Portugal
Censorship studies are currently facing an important conceptual change towards enlarging the phenomena deemed to be censorial (class, race, gender), while risking losing sight of the conceptual specificity of what censorship means. If everything is censorship, then the concept loses explanatory power, but if we restrict the concept it fails to account for the multiple forms censorship takes to be powerful. By mapping censorship studies about the …
The Appeal of Far Right Pandemic Politics
The literature associates the pandemic with populist far right parties' growth, creating the conditions for democracy weakening. The pandemic must be seen, thus, as more than a natural or medical-scientific issue given its political impact. In that sense, the pandemic politics, that is, the way governments managed the COVID-19 crisis, can be seen as a kind of “bare-life-politics,” characterised by preserving life for life’s sake. This means that …
Communicating Corrected Risk Assessments and Uncertainty About Covid-19 in the Post-truth Era
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a challenge for science communication in terms of addressing the question of uncertainty and how it translates into risk. This task has been aggravated by the complexity of the pandemic and the current post-truth environment. The article suggests that there is a need to analyze the practices of correcting risk information that is uncertain, but not necessarily false, made by online news media about COVID-19. This is…
Science as a virulent myth archive
Latour (1988) argued that the discovery of the microbe changed the way the social was made: a human could now control the microbe instead of being blindly attacked by it;animals, people and fields became living media of the microbe and treated as such;and the hygienist movement took over health state powers What subjectivities, nonhumans, social and political powers are being produced by this new virus? The World Health Organization produced a li…
