Configurações do movimento indígena na ambiência comunicacional contemporânea

Abstract

This work addresses the configurations of the Indigenous Movement considering the indigenous collective expressions constructed in ethnic social networks. The notes are located in the ongoing research which investigates the phenomenon from the meanings constructed by the subjects who take part in the ethnic social network in the ambiguities of the mediated public sphere. The research is based on theoretical and methodological references of the studies of uses and appropriations of the media, having as observation scenario the indigenous profiles on social networking sites. The observation is conducted through an ethnographic perspective, allowing one to think the Amerindian collective expressions under civic identities, comprised of a set of mediations suchas the political organization, schooling and also gender, in addition to ethnic memory, among others.
