Complexo Hidroelétrico do Tapajós: o discurso desenvolvimentalista do governo federal nos produtos comunicação da Diálogo Tapajós

Abstract

The construction of large hydroelectric plants has been the flagship of large infrastructure projects in the country. The development discourse is the principal formulator of consensus and mobilizing the population in the implementation of these projects, especially for populations affected by these mega projects. Overall, who stands opposed to this development model are taxed against the country's progress. This developmental model has been implemented from a capitalist view, not taking into consideration the local population, much less the nature. Amazonia rich in water, land, minerals, biodiversity has been the target of the voracity of capital aimed at the withdrawal of such natural assets for the accumulation of riches. The Tapajós region located in western Pará has a natural basis advantageous, considered one of the last frontiers of exploration capital. In this sense the government plans to build the complex Tapajós, a set of five dams in the Tapajós and Jamanxim. The outline of the research is to identify how the north gives the use of the development discourse of the federal government in the products of Communication Dialogue Tapajós. Through the analysis of communication products produced by this company, to inform the population about the construction of dams, we check how the communication contributed to format an opinion, on communities, on the construction of dams. Therefore, we analyzed the Tapajós Study Group website, brochures and booklets.
