A publicidade identitária nas representações da Amazônia paraense nas propagandas dos governos do Estado do Pará em 2017, 2020 e 2021

Abstract

This research intends to do an analysis of discourses present in two advertising videos and six tourism posters authored by the Government of State of Pará. The objective is to identify and compare the narratives and arguments, as well as the forms of representation of cultural identities of Pará, as a state, and of Pará's people, in order to reflect on the construction of meanings that can reinforce stereotypes and colonial discourses about Amazon. We also seek to reflect about city, its appropriation and the visibility of the spaces designed by advertisements. The objects of this research are the advertising video “Pará te encantar” (2017, tourist commercial), the advertising video “Stay at home” (2020, commercial with alert about agglomerations in the Covid19 pandemic context), and six posters of the campaign “Rediscover Pará” (2020). We will use authors such as Stuart Hall, Homi K. Bhabha and Amaral Filho as a theoretical reference to discuss cultural identities, stereotypes and coloniality in Amazonian context. Our methodological framework is based on Eni Orlandi, Martine Joly and Diana Rose for development of Discourse Analysis and moving images. The concept of publiCIDADE (publiCITY) proposed by Santos (Luiz LZ Cezar) will also be used, as well as other authors on the Amazon, such as Paes Loureiro, and on Communication Science, such as Martín-Barbero.
