This dissertation investigates the ethno-communicational practices of the Yanomami on Twitter, focusing on the “Fora Garimpo, Fora Covid” campaign. Drawing from the 2022 Census data, the study highlights Roraima as the Brazilian state with the highest proportion of indigenous people, with a special focus on the Yanomami Land, the country's largest indigenous territory and the epicenter of the campaign. The research examines the devastating impact of illegal mining in Yanomami Land, highlighting environmental contamination, disease spread, and violence against indigenous peoples. The study scrutinizes the “Fora Garimpo, Fora Covid” campaign, launched by the Yanomami and Ye’kwana Leadership Forum, utilizing Twitter as a tool for political pressure and social engagement. The main objective is to analyze the communication strategy of the campaign on Twitter and to understand the significance of ethno-communication in defending the rights of the peoples of Yanomami Land. The research maps the discourse of spokesperson Dário Kopenawa Yanomami, investigating the reception and effects of Twitter posts, as well as evaluating the campaign's outcomes. The dissertation also reflects on communication in the Brazilian Amazon, from the perspective of the researcher, who works as a journalist in Roraima and advises Yanomami leadership. The study addresses the historical context of the Yanomami, the invasion of illegal mining, the Covid-19 pandemic, and strategies of communication and digital activism. Methodologically, the research adopts a trans-methodological approach, incorporating historical, cultural, ethnographic, and practical perspectives. The analytical focus is on the discourses and interactions on Twitter during the campaign, using the hashtag #foragarimpoforacovid as a quantitative indicator. The dissertation concludes with an evaluation of the campaign's outcomes and their implications for ethno-communication and the defense positivy of indigenous rights.

mining polycrisis, in web reports on the Folha Web, G1 Roraima, Roraima em Tempo and Correio do Lavrado websites. The research takes into account the question of how the polycrisis in mining in Roraima can be solved, considering the ways in which local web journalism contributes through the technique of the lying pyramid, in the interpreted exposition of panoramas and perspectives of various crises, taking into account the intersubjectivities and discursive surpluses of unofficial sources and other sources, as well as how researchers can fill gaps in this journalistic interpretation. To this end, it considers that mining is practiced by subjects with a work organization, and is a social activity with impacts on humans and non-humans. For this reason, the purpose of journalistic coverage of the mining activity should indicate causes, consequences, gaps and solutions, observing the present panorama and future prospects. In addition, this work pays attention to the fact that crises can be conceived as a polycrystalline set of interconnected instabilities, in which one crisis is preponderant, being integrated with "correlates", each characterized by factors and effects, generating problems if "gaps" affect this relationship. This research takes into account the assumption that ambivalence inserts cultural differentiation into the same discourses, as it anticipates the meaning of another individual. Each source of information objectifies the facts about maning from its own perspective, as well as instigating other subjectivities in relation to these facts. Therefore, the subject's discursive construction is made up of interference from the other, through the ambivalence of meanings. Therefore, the study shows that the websites Folha Web, G1 Roraima, Roraima em Tempo and Correio do Lavrado subject unofficial sources to the hierarchy of discourses in journalism, in relation to other subjects, being subordinated and presupposed by other types of sources, through ambivalence of meanings. The instabilities converge, encompassing socio-political, socio-economic and socio-environmental factors, which disproportionately affect the poorest part of the population. In addition, it shows that the portals stick to the factuality of the news, making it difficult to link facts to explanations and solutions to the problem, making it difficult to confront the discourse on mineral exploitation and the broad debate on the problem.

This work seeks to analyze the presence of female journalists in Roraima newspapers from the time of the ex-territories (1943) until the transformation of Roraima into a State, in 1988. To understand the panorama, the contents published in the newspapers O Átomo were analyzed , Jornal Boa Vista, Folha de Vista and A Gazeta de Roraima, evaluating the role of female journalists based on the cartography of newspapers of the period and oral reports of characters who worked in these periodicals, which leads us to reflect on these events in terms of Amazonian territorialities. It is understood that, at the end of the work, the objective of analyzing the different territorialities of the Press on the female presence in the printed newspapers of the Federal Territories of Rio Branco and Roraima (1943-1988) was reached, reaching the conclusion that the woman journalist and the territory are part of an ambivalent relationship, and that they directly influenced the experience and construction of the territory. Responding to the research problem, it is understood that talking about territory will always be linked to the notion of power and that territoriality goes beyond the physical space, since the performance of women journalists in the territory of Roraima, even with the identified silencing, helped to improve the quality of life of the territory where they lived. Finally, we believe that the strength of the result of this research, collaborates in understandings regarding research on topics such as memory of journalism, and journalism made by women, making a contribution to academia and society.

This Dissertation brings as object of study the memory and identity of the Roraima
student movement through the newspapers of the União Roraimense de Estudantes
Secundaristas (URES), founded on July 27, 1952, with the name União
Riobranquense de Estudantes Secundaristas, at the time that the State of Roraima
was still the Federal Territory of Rio Branco. For this, the printed newspapers were
chosen as research sources: “A Gazeta Estudantil (1955), “O Estudantil (1960-1964)”
and “O Movimento (1997-2001). Newspapers under the responsibility of URES,
which had cycles: the first starting with the founding of URES in 1952 until 1964,
when the civil-military coup took place. The second subdivided into two stages, which
begins in 1988 with the reconstruction of URES, until 2001 when the last printed
edition of the newspaper “O Movimento” circulated. And the second stage with the
emergence of other student organizations culminating, politically, with the election in
2022 of the President of the Republic Luís Inácio Lula da Silva. The research
identifies the challenges faced by newsrooms: actors, routines, production,
convergences, materialities, language, products, circulation and strategies used by
the teams in the newspapers' circulation periods. In this way, the collection is made
up of materials, editorials and signed articles that allowed us to (re)constitute
elements of memory and identity of students from Roraima. The theoretical field on
which the study was based was based on the axes: communication theories, theory
of social movements, in addition to collective memory, social identity. In order to
understand the construction process of identity and memory of the Roraima student
movement, we went through the paths of mediation that the newsletter made with
this segment of the social movement. Moreover, the context of social relations is
supported by the dialectical historical materialism proposed by Marx & Engels (1977),
as it allows us to study the local society in which the student movement acted in
different cycles. The research approach is of a qualitative nature through the use of
techniques that allowed examining and problematizing the newspapers of the time,
as well as the use of interviews with people who participated in the editorial teams of
the newsletter, in addition to members who made up the board of URES. In this way,
it is possible to infer that the performance of the Roraima student movement was
(and still is) part of the debate and of the action itself as a Social Movement in the
Amazon, in this case, I try to see students as protagonists of their struggles, utopias
and/or needs.

La presente disertación tiene como objeto de estúdio, imágenes fotográficas en el período en que se instaló la 1ª Legislatura de la Asamblea Legislativa del Estado de Roraima (ALE-RR) en el recién creado Estado de Roraima (1991 a 1994). Imágenes fotográficas utilizadas, no como mera ilustración de una narración escrita, sino, como destaque, protagonista del relato, en relación al polémico tema de la demarcación y homologación de la Tierra Indígena Raposa Serra do Sol que se prolongó durante décadas. A partir de la Semiótica de la Cultura, abordamos el universo de las semiosferas y las culturas sociales, más precisamente, las tensiones sígnicas que constituyen el encuentro entre la cultura social de la I Legislatura y la cultura social indígena, que a su vez representan otras culturas sociales, con discursos antagónicos, que se entrelazan en una formación social histórica, factor preponderante para la multiculturalidad, plurietnicidad e identidad roraima. Pero antes necesitábamos profundizar en la teoría de las imágenes y tomar como eje la Filosofía flusseriana, con la valiosa aportación de otros autores. Y para enriquecer aún más la investigación en la construcción de un aserto en relación a las imágenes fotográficas como representación y documento, incluimos el aporte de pensadores centrados en el estudio de la memoria, la identidad y la pertenencia.

This dissertation was designed based on the importance of Law 12.527/2011, which provides for the Access to Information Law (LAI) for communication in the Legislative Assemblies of the North. The objective is to analyze the use of the Access to Information Law by the communication offices of the legislative assemblies in Northern Brazil, from January 2020 to 2022, verifying the way in which the law is used to respond to the production of the matter; identify the most accessed topics, the areas investigated by the legislature, in addition to surveying the number of demands, their nature, which were met and the deadline for compliance. The methodology applied was qualitative-quantitative, documental in addition to content analysis of what was found during the research. An analysis was also made of the transparency portals of the states in search of information on the population's access to public information. By carrying out such a survey, it was possible to reinforce hypotheses about the relationship between the Northern legislature and the press, with the problem of verifying how the LAI interfered in the relationship between the press and politics and in the image that society makes of the legislative assemblies. during this time frame. It is concluded that in order to build a true democracy, clear and transparent access to public information is essential, as well as greater popular participation, thus strengthening democratic systems. 

Starting from the point of view that the media's representation of animals can
influence people's opinions and behavior towards them, the objective of this research is to
find out how the journalistic reports on the G1 Roraima portal build the discourse of
domestication and domesticity among humans and domestic animals. Based on this general
question, we will carry out a theoretical review of the works of classical and modern
philosophers and theologians to understand and explain how human thinking in relation to
animals has been changing and undergoing alterations, until reaching the way in which we
deal with them today. Then, we will resume the concept of environmental journalism, its
principles, techniques and objectives to serve as a basis for analysis of the environment, with
regard to the space occupied by humans and domestic animals and the relationship between
human and non-human animals in that space. The third part of the research consists of
analyzing the journalistic discourse of five reports from the G1 Roraima portal to verify the
focus given to the human-animal relationship and understand how the media represents this
relationship, and whether there is an anthropocentric focus of domination in these works,
reflecting on the ideological and social aspects prioritized by the chosen news, and on the
roles played by domestic animals in our society. For that, we use the post-phenomenological
method of analysis of the journalistic discourse and analyze the perspectives of the sources
and which are the dominant discourses. The human-animal relationship with regard to pets is
a subject little explored in journalism. Taking into account the lack of studies in the area, we
intend to contribute, through this research, as a bibliographic source for future debates and
reflections on the subject.
