Da evolução à revolução: o uso das tecnologias no processo de retomada, registro e manutenção das identidades das culturas indígenas no Nordeste brasileiro

Abstract

This thesis presents a research on technologies used in human development from a reflection on the digital reports produced by indigenous peoples in Northeastern Brazil. The general objective of the investigation was to deepen the studies on the theme Indigenous peoples and technologies and to bring a reflection on the appropriation of digital information and communication technologies by indigenous peoples today, seeking to find subsidies that would help us to understand/answer the following problem question: how the Indigenous peoples have been using digital resources to develop reports that favor the recovery, recording, preservation and dissemination of their peoples' cultures. To carry out this research, we chose to use the documentary research method, which can be used in the analysis of documents that have not yet undergone scientific treatment and/or that can also be re-examined based on different perceptions of the available data. The documents analyzed are textual productions available in digital format, which were made by members of indigenous peoples present in the Northeast region of Brazil. From the analysis of the informational data present in these sources, it was possible to select excerpts that show how indigenous peoples have been using digital technologies, as well as how these peoples live and what technological configurations have contributed and contribute to the configuration and reconfiguration of their identities
