Os modos de ver e viver: a violência e as sociabilidades comunicativas dos moradores das ilhas de Abaetetuba - PA

Abstract

The present proposal aims to understand the communicative experiences that emerge in the lives of residents of the islands of Abaetetuba, Baixo Tocantins region, based on two central questions: a) the relationship between urban and rural and; b) the practices of violence experienced in the daily life of the islands. According to the Atlas of the Institute of Applied Economic Research - IPEA (2019), Abaetetuba has a high crime rate. , It can be seen, therefore, that violence crosses the borders of the city and settles in the rural environment, causing changes and reconstructions of meanings. In other words, the violence that frightens and terrifies large metropolitan cities (TRINDADE JUNIOR, 2005) becomes part of the daily lives of island residents, mainly through the actions of so-called pirates, through the use of power, physical force or in any other way. of coercion. This practice of violence reduces the condition of subject facing the other. In this sense, the present research focuses on understanding: a) what are the communicative experiences of the inhabitants of the islands in the relationship between urban and rural? And b) how has the extension of urban violence transformed the sociability of residents?. Urban and rural are understood not as opposite meanings, but as 'between-places', due to the lived hybridity, which at the same time separates and limits, distances and approaches, tensions and estrangements, but which requires a re-elaboration of its meanings and meanings from the influences suffered. Our reflections, in working, the islands as inbetween place or spatial continuum (GRAZIANO, 2002), whether from the point of view of their geographical and territorial dimension, or in their economic and social dimension, aims to point out the sociability, in different conditions of a there and a here, that is, not separate relationships, but experiences that are crossed by social phenomena present in everyday life in urban cities, such as violence. As methodological contributions, qualitative research was chosen and, with it, the narrative interview, since it allows the reconstruction of the interactive processes, which produce practical meaning (JOVCHELOVITCH; BAUER, 2002). This method provides an immersion in the experiences lived by the inhabitants of the islands and, at the same time, for the analysis of the narrative meaning enunciated by these subjects. The research starts from the phenomenological understanding of Paul Ricoeur (2010), in which the narrative is a way of interpreting human life and communication as a relationship that configures social life (FRANÇA, 2018).
