Narrativas de Bragança nas vozes do rádio

Abstract

The thesis "Bragança's Narratives in Voices of the Radio" seeks to understand how oral narratives were used and appropriated by Rádio Educadora in the decade of its implementation, 1960, in the city of Bragança (PA), showing the role of the station in the process of transferring local traditional knowledge during the radio classes and, of course, in the Educadora's programming. Faced with the concepts of memory and oral narratives, permeated by decolonial theories, I try to show the idea that this radio is inserted in bragantine's memory as an element of representation of the region's oral culture. In this sense, choosing oral narratives as the main source of study aims to assign centrality to the subjects. Individual and collective memories are central resources in maintaining the tradition of peoples, marking, with oral narratives, the presence of knowledge passed down through generations, therefore, in the perpetuation of their ancestral knowledge. The radio, as a communication device, acted in the processes of visibility for Bragantine culture and identity. In this sense, the decolonial vision contributed to the Rádio Educadora being part of the daily lives of Bragança's residents, not as just a broadcaster, but as an institution that is part of the set of elements that characterize the identity of the place, observed in the narratives that circulate in the city and in the towns and communities of the municipality. For this thesis, the concepts of Simões, Halbwachs, Castells, Bosi, Bakhtin, Vygotsky, Walsh, Mignolo e Quijano.
