This research talks about the communicational processes in an Amazon community,
called Cajazeirinha, located in the Lake of the Tucuruí Hydroelectric Power Station, in
the state of Pará. The main purpose of the investigation was to identify and analyze the
communicational processes of the children from Cajazeirinha daily. This community
has the specificity of locating in a few meters from the Hydroelectric Power Station and,
contradictorily, not accessing the electrical energy supply, what makes with the
population search for alternative sources of electricity (car battery, solar board or
generator) to, among other things, using the broadcasting, such as the television, the
radio and the cell phone. Initially, it started with the assumption that, to analyze the
communication of a community or a group of people is necessary to understand its
playing field and its constitution, and then observe the reality in a contextualized way,
not dissociated in time and space. So, it was sought to understand the communicational
processes of community, basing in the theoretical concepts of communicational
processes from Vera França, communicational processes from José Luiz Braga, in the
concept around Jesús Martín-Barbero and in the theoretical basis of the Studies of
Latin-American Reception, from the authors Ana Carolina Escosteguy and Nilda Jacks,
besides the notion of social interaction, from John Thompson. The methodological way
treaded has as a perspective the exploratory research with qualitative data analysis, from
bibliographical researches, deep interviews (with children, mothers and trendsetter of
opinion), observation not systematic participant and field diary. The purpose was to
identify and analyze the communicational processes of the community Cajazeirinha and
map the existent broadcasting in Tucuruí and in the islands of this community. In this
research, it was verified that in Cajazeirinha the communicational processes are
constituted from the sociocultural mediations, highlighting the family, the church and
the school. The communicational interactions were also observed, those that occur in
leisure moments and the presence of broadcasting in the daily community, mainly in
that involves contents such as soap operas, television news and cartoons. Finally, it was
verified that hte ways of reception in Cajazeirinha are permeated by characteristics
space-temporal-places, because of the rythm of the river that determines the life of the
community.
