Paredes de concreto mais importantes que a vida: Barragem de Acauã.

Abstract

This paper discusses and investigates the discourse on the Dam of Acauã, located in the municipalities of Aroeiras, Itatuba and Natuba in the State of Paraíba. The main goal of the research is to examine the speeches made by some subjects, and in what place they put themselves dealing with the construction of the Dam of Acauã and what are their interests, knowing that the discourses in our society have intentionality and they are not neutral. The methodological approach adopted to address the object of study was to analyze the various discourses produced by vehicles of media (Paraiba da Gente Magazine, Portal Correio da Paraiba and Jornal da Paraiba) and by others (Priest Rômulo, the Federal Attomey Duciran Farena and the affected by Acauã) to establish a counterpoint. Analyzing the results of the research, it was established that the paraiban press is completely biased and is more concerned with party political interests. Intentionally, it does not address the social problems of more than 900 families who lost their homes and livelihoods as a result of the construction of the Dam of Acauã. To become visible to the society the problems of this population, other discourses previously unknown about Acauã, which deserve visibility, appeared.
