Cultura, movimentos sociais e lutas sociais: a experiência da produção de vídeo popular pela brigada de audiovisual da via campesina

Abstract

This dissertation is proposed to recognize the possibility of an effective building of a culture and therefore an art that is formulated from a national-popular perspective in terms of gramscian concepts. To do this we chose to understand and analyze the experience of producing Popular Video by Audiovisual Brigade of Via Campesina, seeking to define the importance of this production to the process of policy formation and hence for social struggles guided by social movements that compose it. This study sets, therefore, as an approximation of the relationship between artistic and intellectual manifestations and the process of formation of class consciousness, where we challenge ourselves to understand how art can be part of building a new society project in that it has the potential power to unravel the contradictions present in this in which we live. It's a job, at first, of a theoretical nature, in that we use Marxists benchmarks to understand the culture and art in capitalist society, even as we devote ourselves to the gramscian categories that are part of our analytical tool and also about the construction of social thought and mainly of cultural formation of Brazil. It is also permeated by an investigative contribution, in that, to get to the systematic study of production in contemporary times, we traverse a path that embraces the worldwide experience of a cinema that was linked to social struggles and the construction of such approximation in the Brazilian reality. Whatleads usto critical reflection about the production of the popular video by Brigade Via Campesina, we seek to draw some considerations with regard to the field of creation , language and technical aspects in order to identify what is the most characteristic of these productions that will contribute to building an aesthetic and narrative own, as well as linking these artistic elements with the formation of conscience .
