Comunicação popular e indígena: uma ferramenta de informação política e cultural através das mídias sociais em Alagoas

Abstract

Communication and culture are tools that influence the way in which individuals externalize their potential to achieve the highest expression of human subjectivity. To know yourself. To also get to know each other. In this work, the role of popular communication is emphasized, in the concepts of Kunsch and Peruzzo, as a tool that helps in the conquest of new rights and vindicates the demands of original peoples in response to the silencing attempts they have suffered since the European invasion in 1500. Introducing also the concepts of social movements through Gohn and Paulo Freire's contribution to the understanding of communication as a process of informal citizen education. This research is a contribution to the studies of community communication within the constitution of the indigenous resistance movement in the country. The work presents communication as a process used by original communities with the intention of denouncing institutionalized violence, but also of informing and educating society about customs, culture, languages, memories and ancestral knowledge that carry with them the philosophy of preserving life. Popular and democratic communication is presented, then, as a way of preserving life on earth. This work elucidates the importance of democratic communication for the indigenous movement as a process that assists them in recovery processes, seeking to raise awareness through social media and expand the ideas that sustain life and the health of nature.
