CRESPO, Regina Aída. From paper to screen: are digital publications the new politicalcultural magazines? An analysis of the Brazilian case. Rev. hist. Am. [online]. 2020, n.158, pp.337-364.  Epub 28-Feb-2022. ISSN 2663-371X.  https://doi.org/10.35424/rha.158.2020.608.

The emergence of internet in the 1990s transformed the cultural industry on a global scale in a gradual and definitive way and put print journalism at risk. This article aims to investigate, from the analysis of the Brazilian case, the dimension of these changes and try to answer the following issues. How have digital publications transformed the production and dissemination of content? Will the paper publications will still have space? Can alternative digital publications face the big media? Will they take the place of the political-cultural magazines of the past? finally, how can we think the relationships among intellectuals, culture and politcs in the field of cultural and mediatic production? The analysis of these and other issues will start from two temporal perspectives. The first one will be the 1970s, the peak of the military dictatorship, when the so-called alternative press worked as a bastion of resistance to the regime and magazines such as Versus, of Latin American character, circulated. The second will be the current context, with Brazil under a government of the extreme right, in which digital publications seek to act as a counterweight to the voice of the hegemonic media that yesterday supported the dictatorship of 1964, and today the political trial of Dilma Roussef in 2016 and the current government.

Palabras llave : Cultural magazines; alternative press; military dictatorship in Brazil; Bolsonaro government; digital publications; media control.
