- Abstract
The present work seeks to understand how the residents of terra firme neighborhood, on the outskirts of Belém, capital of the State of Pará learn the narrative of the minidocumentary "Poderia ter sido você", produced by the alternative media collective Tela Firme, after the slaughter in 2014. The video weaves a counternarrative, by recreating a reality shared tragically by the residents, seeking to awaken in them identification, in contrast to the hegemonic and stigmatizing representation of the neighborhood and its residents, which circulated massively in the media discourse at the time of the slaughter. The mini-documentary is part of a vigorous audiovisual production movement that has emerged in the Brazilian peripheries since the last decade, which goes beyond the artistic dimension and takes on political contours, in which self-representation emerges as a central idea. These productions seek to restore the speech historically denied to this portion of the population in the public space. The research has as its starting point the intersubjective dimension of experience in the production of meanings in this context of urban violence. Qualitative in nature, the research combines participant observation, from an autoethnographic perspective and interviews with neighborhood residents, members of the collective that produced the video and mothers of young people murdered in the slaughter. It was investigated to what extent these subjects recognize themselves and see their reality projected in the narrative of the minidocumentary and whether it can displace the gaze they have of themselves, against the hegemonic representations of media discourse. Therefore, what was realized is that the audiovisual production of "Poderia ter sido você", stands out as an instrument of production and discursive positions of the Collective Tela Firme before the slaughters that occurred in the outskirts of Belém in 2014, in which residents recognize themselves.
