A biografia escrita por Reila Gracie e as fontes jornalísticas: revisando a história hegemônica / A biography written by Reila Gracie and journalistic sources: reviewing a hegemonic history / La biografía escrita por Reila Gracie y las fuentes periodísticas: revisión de la historia hegemónica

O objetivo da presente pesquisa consiste em relacionar a narrativa desenvolvida na biografia Carlos Gracie: o criador de uma dinastia, de 2008, e a perspectiva veiculada por alguns periódicos cariocas do início do século XX, no que se refere ao estabelecimento e disseminação do jiu-jítsu e dos combates intermodalidades no Brasil, em especial na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Para tanto, utilizaram-se os preceitos metodológicos acerca das particularidades das fontes biográficas e jornalísticas. A partir da análise das referidas fontes, pode-se pensar a hipótese de que Reila Gracie tenha lançado mão de uma tradição inventada, por meio da biografia e aproveitando-se da dimensão ficcional peculiar a tal gênero, com sentido de atribuir aos integrantes da família Gracie o pioneirismo do jiu-jítsu e dos combates intermodalidades no Brasil

This research discusses the narratives developed in the 2008 biography Carlos Gracie: o criador de uma dinastia and the perspective spread by some Rio de Janeiro based newspapers during the early 20th century on the establishment of jiu jitsu and interfight competitions in Brazil. Therefore, we used methodological frameworks about the particularities of biographical and journalistic sources. From the analysis of those sources, it is possible to think about the hypothesis that Reila Gracie used an invented tradition, through biography and its peculiar fictional dimension, thus establishing the Gracie family as a pioneer in jiu-jitsu and inter-fight competitions in Brazil

Journalists’occupational stress: a comparative study between reporting critical events and domestic news

Nowadays, journalism is considered a stressful occupation, not only due to the stress perceived in journalists’ daily work but also due to the critical, potentially traumatic events they report. However, research on journalists’ occupational stress in both these professional settings is still scarce. This study aims to characterize and compare occupational stress variables perceived by journalists in their daily work and in critical scenarios. Taking the Holistic Model of Occupational Stress by Nelson and Simmons (2003) as a framework, 25 Portuguese journalists, all with experience in reporting critical events, were interviewed on their perceptions of some core variables of the model: occupational stressors, distress and eustress emotional reactions, and the consequences of these experiences on their well-being. Differences among these core variables, according to the number of deployments to a critical event, were statistically analysed in order to ascertain whether repeated exposure to trauma influenced journalists’ occupational stress perceptions. The data content analysis showed that occupational stressors and emotional reactions differed across settings, while the consequences associated with journalists’ experiences were perceived as being mainly negative in both occupational contexts. Significant differences were identified in some of these variables according to the number of deployments to a critical event (p < .05). These findings may contribute to a reflection on the role of media organizations in preparing and supporting journalists in their work performance, and on the promotion of occupational health within the scope of journalists’ daily work and critical events. The article closes with considerations for future studies (AU)
