Ateliê de vídeo e cultura juvenil: um estudo de caso sobre aprendizagem e socialização de jovens urbanos de segmentos populares através das tecnologias do vídeo digital / Video atelier and youth culture: a case study on the learning and socialization of urban young people from poor social segments through digital video technologies

Luiz Andre Carrieri Rosatelli

The goal of this study is to investigate how video technologies can mediate new ways to learn and socialize. The core question it aims to answer is how and why a video atelier contributes to the education of low-income class youths living in poor suburbs of Great São Paulo, using video creation and production strategies. In the investigation process I have sought to: a) examine the relevance of audiovisual resources in youthssociocultural context, and identify educacional trends, themes and processes; b) examine to what extent mediation through video production practices and procedures is an educative action. I have worked during 10 months with 18 youngsters enrolled in an education program offered by a non governmental organization whose objective was to develop knowledge about digital video technologies in order to support collective action and strengthen juvenile expression. It has been a qualitative research, since the case study is about a group with a well-defined configuration. Ethnographic techniques have been used to approach the social and cultural context I was interested in observing, and have helped in translating the subjectsmost spontaneous manner of speaking when explaining their cultural universe along the course of learning. Research analysis has been focused on youthsspeeches in three specific moments: their writing during qualification to enroll in the project; considerations expressed during creation activities; and individual interview when leaving the project. To understand the field where these ways of learning and socializing are processed I have resourced to theories providing useful tools to question and intersect concepts akin to both education and communication areas. Authors whose approaches have been used are: Jesús Martín-Barbero, Guillermo Orozco-Gómez, and Mauro Wilton de Sousa in the sociology and communication area; José Machado Pais, Alberto Melucci, Regina Soares, and Marilia Pontes Sposito in the area of sociology and youth; and also Fernando Hernández in the area of visual culture and education. I find in them converging ideas that recognize new ways to appropriate audiovisual codes, because they consider the relation between youth and communication technologies to be more complex than an intuitive functional process made natural due to mediasomnipresence. Along this line of thought I believe that young people can decode with a better or poorer quality the actual reality, and therefore by developing a new regard upon the world they will learn in a new way. The difference of this process is in the act of looking and looking at oneself, a quality inherent to video since video producing procedures connect to youth cultural practices and relate to socialization modes in processes of identification and belonging, provided they are intendedly understood as a method of learning and intervening.
