Diálogo e conflitos: a comunicação com pescadores artesanais em um projeto de educação ambiental na Baía de Guanabara

Abstract

The communication carried out in the first two phases of the Guanabara Bay Environmental Education Project (PEA-BG as called in portuguese) is the object of the case study proposed in this research. The general objective is to understand the challenges of communicating with artisanal fishing communities included in this condition of licensing enterprises that impact their lives. Verifying the perception of these communities about the Project and identifying processes of social transformation that may have occurred are among the specific objectives, as well as recording the impacts of the history of bay´s occupation on artisanal fishing, observing possible changes in the community's opinion about the oil and gas industry, communication noise and reflections on possibilities for improving it. The study takes on reviews by authors such as Paulo Freire, José Quintas, Cicilia Peruzzo, Bernardo Toro, Thomas Tufte, Bell Hooks, Ailton Krenak, Raquel Paiva, Augusto Boal, Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Darcy Ribeiro, Milton Santos and Elmo Amador. Among the concepts involved are the importance of conflict for the exercise of identity, the relationship between territory and dialogue/culture, critical environmental education, social mobilization, generative communities, in addition to ideass of public, institutional and popular communication. It is hoped that this research can contribute to the communication carried out in other projects with traditional communities.
