Comunicação Popular na Amazônia: A Produção de Conhecimentos de Joseane Calazans de Brito em Mazagão Velho/AP

Abstract

This paper analyzes the communication practices carried out by Joseane Calazans de Brito in the municipality of Mazagão Velho - Amapá. The problem guiding this research is understanding what kind of knowledge she produces through communication. To do so, it was necessary to understand how she became a popular communicator and the meaning she gives to communication, besides identifying the ways and means by which she does this practice. The methodology used in this work was dialogic ethnography so that Joseane's narratives are treated not only as an object of research but also as a source of knowledge that arises outside the academic sphere. From the results obtained, it was found that the production of knowledge through the actions of Joseane as a popular communicator aims to enhance the culture of Mazagão Velho and its inhabitants, being these knowledge products of the community, the work she does aims to amplify the voices of these social actors.
