Educação e Comunicação: metodologias e conceituações a partir da experiência da Rede CEP (Rede Nacional de Experiências em Comunicação, Educação e Participação) entre 2004 e 2009

Abstract

The present dissertation proposes an interdisciplinary study inserted in the intersecting field between education and communication. It aims to investigate the process of conceptual constitution of the practices carried out within the aforementioned network through interviews and document analysis, more specifically, the appropriation of the term educommunication. We propose a reflection about the gap between theory and practice, dialoguing from the difficulties and limitations inherent to every conceptualization and the political and academic edges that delimit the conceptualized object. As a result, this research intends to contribute to the reflections of the field and to establish channels of dialogue with the educational actions that consider vehicle communication practices at scale -education and communication, education through media, or educommunication. It is hoped, thus, to open the boxes and aim their strengths through practices coming from social movements. The study indicates gaps inherent to the research process itself and, above all, the establishment of new pertinent questionings. It is also worth noting that, during the course of this dissertation, the theme, the problem and the clippings put to dialog were under permanent construction.
