Especial Multimídia “Na Terra do Lavrador: entre fome, exclusão e concentração de poder, o que tornou uma cidade do interior o que ela é hoje”

Abstract

This Final Course Work (TCC) consists of a multimedia website that brings together four reports, two of which have subpages: one with two and the other with four, totaling nine materials. In addition to these, there is the home page and the About page. The website was built in an attempt to document, investigate, analyze and display, giving visibility to facts, events or historical and cultural customs of the city of Acopiara, focused on the political sphere. The city in the Center-South, with 44 thousand inhabitants, went through long periods of drought, political and economic impacts during the Military Dictatorship, maintenance of family oligarchies and recent eventful elections. The relationships of dependence on public servants, welfare, personalization of political agents, discrediting of the legitimacy of political action are present in people's daily relationships, especially during election periods. The political situation is commonly attributed to something "traditional from the countryside", so there was an urgent need to demystify generalizations about the polished facts of small towns in the countryside. "Na Terra do Lavrador" aims to gather scarce data on politics and the population of Acopiara and document for posterity the stories of the people and politicians, in addition to providing analysis of events with the help of documents, bibliographical references and specialists. In addition to all this, this TCC is a call for the revisionism of ideas linked to generalizations and exclusion of narratives and facts from small cities in Ceará. An attempt not only to tell the stories, but to reinforce the participation of these actors in a historical political scenario, as parts of a whole.
