Mediatization, polarization, and intolerance (between environments, media, and circulation)

Image in circulation: shattering of the gaze and memory 185 Here, what we mean as operations is that, if, on the one hand, there are movements in journalism to produce the image aiming at circulation, there are also movements by social actors so that this image remains in circulation. Also, institutions like the UN itself, humanitarian forces, like White Helmets, make ef- forts so that Kurdi’s image is always triggering flows, if not pres - ent, in shadows. It leads us to consider that how we storytell about Aylan Kurdi’s death affects his permanence in circulation. As we move on to our second observable, we have a slightly different situation. When mentioning the name Marcos Vinicius, perhaps the picture of the 14-year-old will not come to mind readily. The image was also widely reproduced and gained international repercussions; however, it disappeared over the days until its complete fading, which already gives us hints of other procedures in terms of circulation. Marcos Vinicius da Silva, 14, died shot on May 20, 2018, at Favela da Maré Com- plex, during a police operation. The student and a friend were heading towards Marcos Vinicius’ house when the young man was reportedly shot by an armored vehicle. News coverage of the case took place as soon as the event was made public. Portals and news sites announced not only the fact that the student was shot, but particularly the protests derived from the police action located in an intervention process. However, in terms of head- lines, we can take the example of the G1 portal as an example: Figure 02 - G1’s Headline 9 Printscreen from 06/26/2018 Retrieved from: Portal G1. 9 “Teenager shot at Maré dies, and residents protest and set fire to buses.”
