Oralidade em uma comunidade amazônica: comunicação, cultura e contemporaneidade

Abstract

Differently of the speech, the orality is a social process: it is communication. Therefore, it is more than a way of use of the language or a manner to spread information. In a situated way, it wants to reach the other one according to the different socio-cultural contexts. This way, this research proposes investigating the amazonic orality from Andirá community, municipality of Curuçá-PA, where the contemporary orality maintains its traditional popular character, because it is still linked to the culture and amazonic imaginary, but now it interacts with the mediatic media. This interaction results a multi-territorialized orality, as the contexts brought by the contemporary media, especially by the television, are various and they compose the local imaginary. It proposes a study of an interface between Communication and Culture, where is essential the perspective of the British Cultural Studies and the understanding of the modernity as a historic process which has a facilitator and at the same time one of its consequences in the development of the communication.
