A circulação da agressividade em adolescentes angolanos sob a perspectiva da midiatização: disputas interacionais como busca de reconhecimento nas esferas de consumo e produção dos bens da indústria cultural

Abstract

In this research we chose the circulation of aggression among adolescents aged 14 to 16 years, who study at the Colégio de Nossa Senhora da Conceição in the city of Benguela, in the Republic of Angola, as the research theme, with the media coverage and epistemological framework Social Processes. The current Angolan social context allows us to observe the unfolding of a conflict that passes between the civil war and the disputes over the offers of the cultural media industry. Thus, when talking about the circulation of aggressiveness in the media environment in Angola, we are taking the concept of media, not only as technological devices, but as a set of socio-technical, semiotic, symbolic and interactional devices (FERREIRA, 2007; MIÉGE, 2009 ; FAUSTO NETO, 2008, BRAGA 2011; ROSA, 2012; GOMES, 2017) of uses, with the advent of ICTs. Consequently, it is necessary to appropriate the logics and grammars that surround this set of devices to understand how individuals are affected by what circulates in the media, how they interact with what affects them and how they represent this thing that affects them. In other words, aiming to study something that may perhaps arise from the interfaces between what comes from the marketing logics that involve the production, circulation and consumption of goods from the Cultural Industry media, through media devices. Because of these angles, we intend that, perhaps, we aim to study a theme that, escaping from the traditional schemes of the field of social communication, that crosswise triggers other concepts such as, for example, aggressiveness, adolescence, identity and subjectivity. The activation of these concepts puts us on a diffuse and highly complex path. And as a way to minimize the risks we run, we are forced and obliged to establish reading protocols and contracts, calling on authors such as: Adorno and Horkheimer (1973), Adorno (2006), Aumont (1993), Bourdidieu (1997), Bulmer (1977), Quiroga (2007) and Vygostsky (1988), from the fields of Sociology, Psychology and Anthropology, where they come from. Therefore, with the convocation of these authors because we believe that instigated by what immerses from the edges of the media circulation, we will be able to perceive which positional places (FREUD (1915, 1996), MALDAVSKY (1977), MOSCOVICI (2003) of these adolescents in their social practices. This implies assuming the elaboration of an approach that focuses on the subjectivities of individuals from the perspective of perception and reception of media culture.
