Etnografia com o GatoMÍDIA: comunicação, tecnologia e aprendizado em REDE para a cidadania

Abstract

The theme of this monograph is the studies of communication and learning in media and technology for citizenship, having as object of study Rede GatoMÍDIA - which acts as an Agency Network and methodology of learning in media and technology for young black men and women, residents of favelas in Brazil. As a problem, the research seeks to answer which communication practices are used by the GatoMÍDIA project for learning in media and technology for young black men and women from the Brazilian peripheries. The overall objective is to understand the communication practices used by the GatoMÍDIA project for learning in media and technology for young black men and women from the Brazilian peripheries. The three specific objectives to achieve the general objective are: to characterize the communication practices and narratives undertaken by the GatoMÍDIA project; to analyze which contributions the GatoMÍDIA project offers to education for the media, in the context of networked learning; reflect on the importance of learning in media and technology for young black men and women from the Brazilian peripheries to exercise citizenship. The second chapter, after the introduction, presents GatoMÍDIA and its formations and a theoretical reference on empowerment, with the studies of Berth (2019). The third chapter articulates the concepts of communication, media and technology, using the authors Silva (2019), Benjamim (2019), Silvio Almeida (2018) and Graciela Natansohn (2019). The fourth chapter “An Ethnography with GatoMÍDIA” is subdivided into three subchapters. The first subdivision "Ethnography for the Internet" uses the theories of Hine (2015) and Travancas (2011). The second section addresses "In-depth interviews and participant observation", based on references such as Duarte (2011) and Peruzzo (2011). ). At the end of the chapter, I present the participants of the research, for the analysis of the data in the final chapter. As main results, the analysis of this research demonstrates the importance that learning in media and technology has in the lives of young black people from the periphery and how it can transform visions and collaborate with the maintenance of citizenship.GatoMÍDIA's communication practices are afrocentric and this transforms the contact on the technical subject about technology.
