Do desmatamento ao turismo: a construção de sentidos a partir da leitura de notícias sobre a Amazônia paraense

Abstract

This research arose from the need to search for educational activities that effectively contribute to the formation of the reading subject through reading teaching practices in a discursive perspective, taking into account the construction of meanings of Paraense identity by the student subjects, from reading news about the paraense Amazon. Delimited as the foces o four analysis, two themes that can be seen as dichotomous, they would point to something positive and something negative about Pará, which are, deforestation and tourism. In this way, we will seek in this research to work on reading and the construction of meanings based on readings of texts of this kind, especially those that bring discourses about Paraense identity (s). In this study, we used the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Discourse Analysis - AD of French tradition, especially in the conceptions of Foucault (1996; 2004; 2007; 2009), Pêcheux (1995; 1997), Orlandi (2001; 2006; 2015), Gregolin (2007), Cunha (2011), among others. In this sense, we aim that these students can glimpse what are the main social and cultural references that surround the Paraense identity and how they are processed in their reality. This study was developed with a 8th grade of elementary school in a public school in the municipality of Igarapé-Açu-PA. To make our research feasible, the main methodology used was based on action research, of a qualitative nature. The corpus was formed from clippings of responses from student subjects about the reading of news on the theme of deforestation and tourism; related to the state of Pará.
