Processos artísticos e comunicacionais da juventude no meio rural: modos de cartografar e intervir no Assentamento Barra do Leme

Abstract

This research aims to comprehend how the artistic and communicational processes (re)invent the ways of being of the “rural young”, which, like the “urban young”, live within the contradictions and adjectivations that involve the subject “youth”. From the marks (ROLNIK, 1993) to the meanings of my own history, I tried to approach the theme of “rural youth”, beyond the permanency of the young in the rural area and the bias of "rural-urban" dichotomy. Thereby, departing from the cartography as a method of intervention research (PASSOS; BARROS, 2010), I sought to problematize how the young that live in the rural area see themselves inside that universe and how they mobilize and articulate themselves inside and outside a settlement. Taking Barra do Leme’s settlement, located on Pentecoste city, Ceará/Brazil, as empirical field, I realized that the actions articulated with the young mobilize affections and the possibility of building other ways of life. Dealing with the artistic and communicational processes produced, the reflexions about art and ecology inserted themselves as fundamental elements in this analisys. Departing from the assumption that the communication locates itself beyond the media, it was possible to immerse in this theme, by including the cultural and political facts lived with the young.
