Cartografia movente: uma postura de pesquisa em comunicação na Amazônia

Abstract

In this dissertation, however, we propose a discussion of what we call moving cartography, that is a result of several articulations traced in the ways and reways that we establish in the dialogue with life and work of Jesús Martín-Barbero and his perspective of "cartography that moves". The moving cartography presents itself as a posture of research, in which the investigator allows himself to affect by what he studies, revealing the different faces of a diurnal and nocturnal science, from what he is a researcher integrally and that what constitutes him as sociocultural integrates the research and drives his ways. As a central element for discussions about moving cartography are some key situations that I experienced in specific empirical sceneries of the state of Pará and that delineated my academic formation even before the entrance in the Post-Graduation. In the work of being a researcher and researched, I commented on the challenges and singularities that delineate the empirical sceneries of the region, especially from the concept of forest-cities observed by Pacheco (2006), one of the examples that I dare to identify by communicational realities (therefore, sociocultural), by understand, from authors of the communication area, such as Vera França and José Luiz Braga, that the communication is constituted as a strength which gives league to the social, what connects people culturally. So, also demarcate my position concerning the epistemological discussion of the Communication area, which calls the attention of the researchers to the importance of establishing a “special angle to look at the society”, what, on the other hand, does not invalidate the moving cartography and yes it delimitates its angle of entrance. In this sense, the work approximates of the discussion of what would be to investigate the study object of the communication and what the contribution of our area is for the comprehension of communicational realities (therefore, sociocultural) that we observe in the moving landscape from Amazon.
