Information mediations in funk blogs

a look from the critical discourse analysis

Abstract

It discusses the mediatized environment in which contemporary society lives, regarding the processes of democratization of information, and how there is still an informational gap that affects the black Brazilian population much more, one of the many forms of racism in our country. In this context, the question of the construction of black identity emerges as a central issue in this discussion, understood through ethnic-racial relations in Brazil, showing the black identity as a social identity built under the fight against hegemonic powers. It adopts Information Science as an instrument to think of information mediation processes as devices with potential to fight against racism, dialoguing with a social perspective of the field. It adopts Critical Discourse Analysis as an analysis technique, interpreting language not only as instrumental, but as a critical approach to racist discursive practices that are naturalized, but also offers the opportunity to use discourse as an instrument of social change. Analyzes a funk blog, unveiling the meanings for the posts, showing the occurrence of ethnic-racial and musical information as elements for the construction of black identity
