As (re)produções midiáticas sobre a desintrusão da terra indígena Awá Guajá

Abstract

This work analyzes the process of non-intrusion of Indigenous Awá Guajá, sobbing the look press. Understanding how the media (re)produces indigenous issues allows us to realize the existing between perceptions of confrontation gaze media and reality of these people, as well as identify some concepts and paradigms that were fixed in the social imaginary, and resist the historical changes. The Guajá Awa are nomadic Indians, whose number is relatively small, still resist the decimation process that has lasted for centuries, primarily due to the action of the expansion fronts, and then the presence of loggers in their territory. With this, some characters also end up entering the conflict environment, as is the case of small producers, who felt motivated to take ownership of indigenous lands, due to the lack of enforcement in the region. The way the media reports to indigenous issues just certainly influencing the way society sees these people today. Thus, this study aims not only to develop a theoretical basis for the recognition of the current situation of indigenous people, whose historic past is still reflected in the progress of lengthy court proceedings for the realization of their rights, but also analyze them in the media perspective, from prepared speeches, making avail of implicit elements and not said that yet produce meanings. For this construction, some authors were instrumental in the analysis process, as Roberto Cardoso de Oliveira, to analyze the relationship between indigenous and Brazilian society, Benedict Anderson and Perry Anderson, in theorizing the formation of national states, as well as Elizabeth MB Rabbit, among others, in recognition of the living conditions of the Awá Guajá. In addition, it analyzes the content, especially newspapers, televisual and digital materials, to identify what kinds of influences have on the interpretation of the subject that will receive the message. We understand, therefore, that the media content can influence the construction of the social imaginary, strengthening the perpetuation of ideas historically produced.
