ABSTRACT This article proposes a new appraisal of Brazil’s alternative media. By investing in the concept of the periphery, this study draws on past literature, semistructured interviews, and data collected from across the country (n = 50) to propose a repertoire analysis of media producers’ views of the country’s popular notion of the periphery. Evidence shows that they have shown nuanced views of the periphery as a site of purpose, pluralism, and authorship. Despite crisis and turmoil, this study presents some paths that could help reorientate the priorities of alternative media research toward a closer consideration of the periphery as entity that appears much more in line with local realities and expectations than previous international debates.

从外围媒体到外围媒体：巴西替代生态的优先级不断变化

摘要 本文提出了对巴西替代媒体的新评价。通过投资于边缘概念，本研究利用过去的文献、半结构化访谈和从全国（n = 50）收集的数据，对媒体制作人对该国流行的边缘概念的看法进行了曲目分析。有证据表明，他们对作为目的、多元化和作者身份的场所的外围表现出微妙的看法。尽管存在危机和动荡，但本研究提出了一些途径，可以帮助将替代媒体研究的优先事项重新定位为更密切地考虑外围作为实体，该实体似乎比以前的国际辩论更符合当地现实和期望。
