| dc.description.abstract | This investigation thinks about the subaltern subjects in the journalistic prose of Eliane Brum. From this perspective, ten reports will be analyzed in the book O olho da rua. The research adopts as a theoretical-methodological contribution to Italian micro-history, mainly taking the researches of Carlo Ginzburg as leitmotiv to discuss the presence of ordinary people in the context of journalistic prose. The Italian researcher serves as a parameter to analyze the social, historical and journalistic contexts from the access to the popular culture, focusing on the point of view of the subaltern classes. In this way, microhistory has become an important methodology for the work of historians, especially for helping to reconstruct trajectories and biographies. The events and facts admit a social dimension, in which the narratives produce a range of meanings and promote the deepening of historical aspects - adopting the individual as a central term - as opposed to the values that put the dominant social history in the first plan. A detailed reading of the works of Carlo Ginzburg, Giovanni Levi and the commentators allowed us to define four categories of study for the work O olho da rua: 1) reduction of the observation scale; 2) ethnographic description; 3) indiciary paradigm; and 4) narrative. The proximity between the fields of journalism and history is problematized through dialogue with the studies of Charron and Bonville (2016), Hall (2016, 2003, 2010), Alsina (2009), Gomis (2004, 1991), Neveu (2006), Traquina (2016) and Tuchman (2016, 1983). The research also focuses on the articulation with the micro-historical studies of Carlo Ginzburg (1989, 1991, 2006, 2007, 2014), Jacques Revel (2010, 2015), Carlos Antonio Aguirre Rojas, Giovanni Levi (2003, 2015) and Henrique Espada Lima (2006). | en |
