A voz do Ceará - Comunicação e Educação na Trajetória da Ceará Rádio Clube entre 1934 e 1948.

Abstract

The most spread historiography about the begining of the radio activities in Brazil disseminates their educative orientation, standing for Edgard Roquette-Pinto actuation. He was an educator from Academia de Ciências da Escola Politécnica - Rio de Janeiro -, who managed the first brazilian radio station, Rádio Sociedade do Rio de Janeiro, in 1923. By knowing that, it sounds that the relation between comunication and education is not new on brazilian scenarium. This widely spread historiography about national radio, however, was influenced by the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo´ economic and political centralism - the history has nearly always been told by the rich. Former radio´s actuation in other regions and states is a said-to-be story. Once in a while, there is a little initiative that tries to fill this empty. This work is a try to fill it, still on, about the radio´s history in Ceará state. And it tries to understand how this comunication vehicle was introduced in the state exactly from the relation between comunication and education. In order to do that, it analyzes the year of 1934, when the very first official radio station began to work, Ceará Rádio Clube, to the year of 1948, when the second official radio station was installed, Rádio Iracema de Fortaleza. The main point that analyses the relation between comunication and education in Ceará radio are the Ceará Rádio Clube programs, wich kept pace with their divulgation through the newspaper Correio do Ceará. At the same time, these historic registers are complemented by depoiments of one reasercher in journalism history and five broadcasters who lived during the beginning of the first radio station in the state. The relation with Vargas government (1930-1945) central politics, mainly the ones related to communicational and educational basis, is essential to understand this process. This is the history that wants to be told here
