Representação dos Jogos dos Povos Indígenas na mídia brasileira

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe how the Brazilian media has represented the Indigenous People Games (IPG). These games are supported by the Ministry of Sport and the Intertribal Committee (IC). Throughout its 12 editions, the Games have accumulated a diverse cultural heritage that makes it possible to uniquely research their legacies. Understanding how the Brazilian media represents the IPG can bring benefits to indigenous populations, who should be the main beneficiaries of such an event. It is a qualitative research. The content analysis technique was chosen to analyze the data. The media and sources used were newspapers, magazines, archives and the internet that addressed the 12 editions of the Indigenous People Games. Results of this analysis show that the media has little knowledge or interest in deepening indigenous themes. The treatment of the data showed that, in addition to the unpreparedness of these media, the reports were often fraught with prejudice. Although the term "games" used to classify IPG was the most widely used term, within the context of the material it was more linked to a concept of standardized sport than the meaning of the game to these people. Keywords: Games. Indigenous peoples games. Media.
