O estudo analisa as representações da velhice a partir de uma amostra de idosos/as e de cuidadores formais. Os instrumentos utilizados na recolha dos dados foram o Inquérito por Questionário e o Teste de Associação Livre de Palavras. A hipótese de trabalho que formulámos é a de que a representação da velhice, sendo uma construção social, traduz uma conceptualização negativa induzida pela consciência coletiva da sociedade marcadamente caracterizada por uma ideia negativa da velhice enquanto figuração do fim da vida ativa. Em concordância com a nossa hipótese de trabalho, os resultados revelam a prevalência de estereotipia idadista negativa associando-se a velhice, em ambos os grupos investigados, a atributos de cariz avaliativo negativo nomeadamente solidão, doença e dependência. As representações aferidas não serão alheias ao modelo societário que é maléfico para a velhice, onde se rejeita o que é velho (Bosi, 1983). É, contudo, nossa convicção que as melhorias verificadas na qualidade de vida, a par da nova narrativa discursiva do envelhecimento (produtivo, saudável, bem-sucedido, positivo e ativo), poderão vir a metamorfosear o campo representacional da “velhice” aligeirando a sua carga negativa.

Feminist activism has always promoted informal learning opportunities for men and women. Internet, along with ICTs have expanded these opportunities by affording large-scale feminist mobilising and connection. Yet the digital environment is not only enhancing feminist campaigning but also facilitating the contexts to abusive behaviours flourish. Departing from the concept of social movement learning, in this article, we examine the significance to adult education of the large-scale reinvigoration of feminist activism in tandem with the surge of anti-feminist and misogynist ideas in the digital environment. We argue that just as online social media brought unprecedented opportunities to provide social movement learning, it offered the same tools to misogynists groups, mostly led by a toxic understanding of masculinity. By co-opting the same online opportunities, the feminist movement enjoys, individualised and collective toxic masculinity agency is a potential foe to match, reinventing the same struggle, demanding an ongoing battle towards deconstructing patriarchy.

The research about the concept of influence on Twitter is still underdeveloped. This work is a theoretical and empirical approach on how politicians are engaging with citizens and/or journalists, and how these social conversations are framed under specific topics and users. The idea of new influentials on political communication in the new media ecosystem, as some studies found (Dang-Xuan et al, 2013), can offer empirical pursuit of the suggested 'two-step flow model' as applied to the agenda-setting process (Weimann et al., 2007) in the case of the microblogging for campaigning online. Following the recent research about how politicians try to reach their potential audience (Vaccari and Valeriani, 2013; 2013a), this paper analyses the social conversations on Twitter driven by politicians, the main topics in these political conversations and the kind of flows of communication (direct or indirect) between politicians, journalists and citizens. This research explores the differences and similarities about influence on Twitter during European elections in two countries with similar political and economic contexts: Portugal and Spain.
