NEW NARRATIVES, EDUCATIONAL COMMUNICATION AND RACE RELATIONS: A POSSIBLE FIELD FOR THE EXERCISE OF OTHERNESS

Abstract

This article aims to present some reflections concerning the role of Educational Communication (disciplinary field that is installed on the territory of contemporary mediation techniques) in the exercise of otherness. Part of a basic premise: a world densely populated by technological artifacts, in which significant portion of our experiences is gestated by / in digital and electronic spaces, links socially constructed images we project of ourselves and others, are arising, largely, so-called infotainment systems. According to French researcher Dominique Wolton, communication, identity and culture are the explosive triangle of the century, which leads us to enter these three dimensions at the epicenter of the debate around the otherness, the cornerstone of our global policy days. The reissue of xenophobic and racist practices around the world gives us the testimony that we need to think in pictures built on the Other as educational practices that weave social ties, produced and pelleted by symbolic and imaginary schemes that define and rank the human. We can pull the threads that connect these reflections with proposals to seal the connection between media discourse - the current discourse par excellence - with a reflexive action you think education beyond their instructive dimension, eurocentered, based on monoculture of knowledge, and one propugne plural pedagogy that embraces human diversity in line with the codes of prodigiously technologized society, set in a responsible communications ecosystem form the social fabric of the experience. This effort ultimately focus on the discussions alluding to racism and other forms of discrimination and invites to debate topics involving the implementation of Law 10.639/ 03 in Brazil.
