The Edutubers Phenomenon according to Nova Escola Magazine

ABSTRACT

This paper sought to map the enunciations about education YouTubers in the Nova Escola magazine. Starting from the question: ‘How are teachers and teaching processes represented in the publications of Nova Escola magazine that discuss the use of YouTube video platform?’, and adopting a theoretical framework derived from Cultural Studies, an enunciative analysis of Foucaultian inspiration was carried out. The corpus consisted of 17 articles, with two focuses of analysis identified: the enunciative recurrences associated education with the action of entertaining and pointed to the use of YouTube as innovative. It is questioned how such results affect teachers’ identities and practices.
