%0 Journal Article %T The positive dimension of the conflict in news interviews %A Marta Regina Maia %A Thales Vilela Lelo %J Verso e Reverso %D 2012 %I Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos %X This paper reflects about a possible positive dimension of the conflict, starting with an exhibition that addresses the world of journalism interviews. Using the positivity attributed to the conflict in the theorizing of Georg Simmel as a complement to the dialogical movement developed in Martin Buber theorizations, will perform the analysis of an interview conducted in the Globo News guided by the discrepancy between the interviewer/interviewee. From this point, the concepts are articulated with an emphasis on a pragmatic framework, so that it discusses the conflict as an element with potential to promote destabilization on conventional frames of journalism, managing the public and inviting him to debate about a specific problematic field. %K conflict %K dialogue %K interview %K experience %K mediation %U http://www.unisinos.br/_diversos/revistas/ojs/index.php/versoereverso/article/view/ver.2012.26.61.03/734
