Da teoria à prática: uma análise das ações da ONG Projeto Saúde e Alegria no Telecentro Comunitário de Suruacá no Rio Tapajós

Abstract

This study is the result of a research examing the relationship between theory and practice of the actions proposed by the NGO "Project Health and Happiness" (NGO-PSA) on the inlands of Suruacá, among Tapajós river, Santarém, in the western of Pará state. The research problem was conducted from two main questions: What’s the relation between theory and practice in the projects experience of the comunity Telecentre of Suruacá? And, what’s the cultural impact caused by new media use in the area? Data analysis was produced from field work and bibliographical-documentary survey about NGOs actions – material collected from the official website of the NGO-PSA, institutional videos and interviews with staff and external researchers acting in Communication, Culture and Education fields. On the survey results, we constacted that the publicized Project proposal corresponds to the social description helded by the residents about the action developped in the last 25 years by the NGO. We perceived that there are convergent communicational and educational practices in relationship between PSA and Suruacá. These practices are not only in a dialetc order, but also in a dialogical one. We understand this dialogical order with the complexity theory, present on Morin’s thought (1991), the mediation theory, presente Martín-Barbero’s thought (1997) and the “deep dialogicity”, present in Freire’s thought (1996) in cases involving Communication, Culture and Education. We also consider that the presence of NGOs in Suruacá does not exempt the necessity of brazilian state action in the execution of public policy on communication, culture, education and health on those areas.
