Navegando com a comunicação comunitária em uma maré de microrrevoluções

Abstract

The main objective of this research was to investigate the community communication developed in the set of favelas of Maré as an articulator / mobilizer of informational dynamics in favor of the democratization of information, the construction of citizenship and the emancipation of those who practice it and those who have access to it. In this sense, the research questioned the informational and linguistic strategies and practices of this type of communication to attract mobilize and raise awareness among the residents? What differentiates the information produced by the community communication from the information produced by the mass media and its power of transformation of the inhabitants and the territory? He also investigated whether community communication promotes a change in the subjectivity of Maré residents and for this we draw inspiration from Félix Guattari's pioneering reflections on the production of subjectivity and micropolitics. We treat community communication practices as molecular resistors that produce micro-revolutions that create mutations in the conscious and unconscious subjectivity of individuals and social groups and that break into liberating processes. The research results pointed out that the information and knowledge provided by community communication leads residents to question the world they are in and to think and reflect the need for change. The research also detected that the performance in community communication is an opening for new perceptions, new meaning and values. Changing the perception of the favela, changing the relationship with the territory and the other, thinking and acting collectively, denouncing, but also presenting solutions, sensitizing and mobilizing the residents are only part of a great transformation that communicators are going through.
