Da reconciliação entre casa e natureza: a emergência de morar pela mídia. 2016. 110f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Estudos da Mídia) - Centro de Ciências Humanas, Letras e Artes, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2016.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/21514Among several consequences of the anthropocentric belief, the loss of nature's autonomy was one of them, resulting in creation of a space under humans' domain. This space is named housing, which used to be integrated with its surroundings. However, as time passed, it went rigid and was cut off from nature. This work examines the emergence of a new, autonomous, nature, fostered by electric power, by the new technologies and by a technical and informational culture, which has allowed housing to return to a now artificial nature. We appropriate the Media Ecology theory, which has Marshall McLuhan as its primary thinker, as our theoretical and conceptual substance. This is followed by a case study, on which we analyse the television series Downtown Abbey (2010) and the book Lady Almina e a Verdadeira Downtown Abbey: O Legado Perdido do Castelo de Highclere (2012), making an empirical corpus which juxtaposes another object: the experiences of Leonie Müller, an german student who, since 2015, lives in the trains in her country. Within the case studies we adopted fitness to the pattern, using the Massimo Di Felice's dwelling triad, empático, exotópico and atópico (2009). In conjunction to this analyses, the concepts of contemporary, by Agamben (2009) and heterotopia, by Foucault (2013), complement the comprehension tools for these objects.Acesso AbertoEcologia da mídiaCasaTecnologias da informação e comunicaçãoAmbiência midiáticamasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::COMUNICACAO: ESTUDOS DA MÍDIA
