Salvador e a juventude periférica em diálogo: cultura e comunicação como ferramentas de disputa

Abstract

This research addresses the tools used by the peripheral youth involved in Culture and Communication projects of the non-governmental organization Cipó Comunicação Interativa in the production of the city of Salvador, perceived here as a space for narrative disputes and cultural clash. The main objective is to understand how the dispute process takes place in the context of the Bahian capital, marked by a scenario of urban injustices. The phenomenon studied by the research sought a methodology that privileges the articulation of information obtained through the bibliographic survey, the documentary research and the analysis of reports, collected through interviews with three categories of sources linked to the object of investigation: a) with professionals connected the Right to the City and the production of urban space in the Bahian capital; b) with NGO collaborators; and c) with some young people who participate in the projects carried out by the institution. Our analysis is crossed by themes such as “education through communication” as a pedagogical practice based on propositions to overcome unequal conditions and the notions of collective memory, the character of experience in the production of knowledge and the construction of imagery based on youth participation. Our observation also addresses the transdisciplinarity of Communication, which has immediate relations with other areas of knowledge.
