Pegadas da juventude na construção do conhecimento: um estudo infocomunicacional da produção audiovisual e de ações comunitárias de estudantes de escola pública do Distrito de Rodrigo Silva (Ouro Preto/MG)

Abstract

Conduct an infocommunicational study of the audiovisual production and community actions of students from a public school located in Rodrigo Silva district (Ouro Preto/MG) is the central focus of this investigation. The main objective, from the perspective of Information Science (IS), is to analyze the correlations of Infocommunicational Competencies (InfoCom Competencies) with the youth protagonism of students who belong to the Rodrigo Silva Audiovisual group (ARS Group), constituted in that locality, considering the Production, Circulation and Mediation of Information research line at the PPGCI/UFBA. From a theoretical perspective, the research seeks to prospect a potentially transdisciplinary IS, capable of encompassing the InfoCom Competencies and the protagonism anchored in issues related to infocommunicational knowledge and practice. An IS that stands as an implicit science, which reinvents based on knowledge that is established at the frontiers of knowledge itself, in environments of hyperinformation and new media developments towards a citizen construction based on autonomy and empowerment. Through a triangulation between bibliographic, documentary and empirical research it was decided for a methodological trajectory that pointed to the complexity, from a possible dialogue between phenomenology and critical theory, through a set of procedures that permeate the communicative action, involving ethnography and netnography techniques. An empirical analysis of Alves de Brito TV was carried out, maintained by Grup ARS on YouTube, which has more than 23.5 million views, using netnography. Likewise, a face-to-face investigation of the actions of these young people in their community was carried out in activities such as workshops and a film club, among other cultural activities. Between speech and content analysis of the theoretical and empirical framework , a theoretical-methodological expansion of IS was sought based on knowledge arising from a community that projects itself globally from a singular territory, with low internet availability and access limitations to digital information and communication technologies, as well as symbolic cultural goods that go beyond that location. It was concluded, under discursive possibilities about logic, that there is a retro-strengthening between youth protagonism and InfoCom Competencies can be perceived beyond the functional-marketing universe and that, intertwined, interfere, feed and feedback on the sociocultural and cognitive processes studied in the scope and at the intersections of the IS itself, demonstrating, from the empirical results, the potential for the development of democratic-participatory community of practices.
