As contribuições do livro Banzeiro Òkòtó para pensar o jornalismo

Abstract

Starting from the urgency to discuss narrative paths for journalism in times of climate emergency, this work is developed to understand the contributions of environmental journalism to journalism as a whole. The book Banzeiro òkòtó: Uma viagem à Amazônia Centro do Mundo, by Eliane Brum, is the host of the proposed discussion and is where we find possible answers to the problems nominees. For this proposition, narrative analysis was the present mechanism. Considering environmental conflicts and the crisis of knowledge, we reflect here on the role played so far by environmental journalism, the importance of the place of speech, the systemic vision, the recognition of otherness and the centrality occupied by the journalistic narrative. By observing the textual marks that identify ways of narrating the environment, some possible paths for communication are presented. Environmental journalism, based on Banzeiro Òkòtó's reading, is an example of journalism that creates documents and demonstrate the responsibility for documenting emerging and alternative environments.
