A escuta popular da Rádio Comunitária do Edson Queiroz: estudo introdutório sobre a produção do sujeito no espaço da periferia

Abstract

This research reports the consolidation of the individual in the outskirts taking place, rising from the mediation of everyday life, culture, language and education. Starting from the analysis of two radio programs, Momento Saúde (Health Moment) and Força da Mulher Solidária (The strength of the Solidary Woman), presented by Edson’ Queiroz’s Community Radio station, in Dendê neighborhood, in Fortaleza, discursive sceneries are elaborated on which it can be identified how the individual from the outskirts emerges from the environment of the broadcasting station. Momento Saúde, produced by students in Nursing School, takes on a one-way speech when dealing with health issues in the neighborhood; in its narrative, it allows a glimpse at the popular notions under which the academic knowledge still lies when related to health matters. The speech marks, in this case, allows the perception that in the students’ talks there is a lack of community voices, visible from the common listening by the Women’s Group of the Solidary Socioeconomics that works in the neighborhood. This reception study, when identifying this silence, allows the organization of the program A Força da Mulher Solidária, an experience carried out by the women, who, moving around these “between-places”, give up the role of listeners and take on the role of producers of speech and meanings about life in the neighborhood. The methodological procedures combine consultations to reference books on the topic, especially Martín-Barbero and field research, through interviews, observation and interventions that occurred with the women’s program. The A Força da Mulher Solidária experience shows that, enriching the political sphere in the culture that weaves everyday life, the outskirts individual rises.
