Chapter 6 discusses the
third of the five examples of protest literacies covered in the
book: media-activist literacies. Focussing on the local example of
favela-based community media practices, discussed in this chapter
are repertoires of literacy practices traditional to such social
movement journalism, but also, how these were undergoing changes
contemporarily through the increasing adoption of social media from
around 2008 onwards. Assuming a historical perspective, Chapter 6
traces the trajectories of text-artefacts that featured in the
memorial-demonstration for Matheus illustrated previously in Chapter 5 (both chapters
should be read in sequence for that reason). Reconstructing specific
social contexts and communicational technologies through which these
text-artefacts were (re)produced and (re)circulated over a five year
period from 2008 to 2013, Chapter 6 highlights the development and dissemination
of interconnecting names and cases of police violence as symbols of
protest, during a particular moment of socio-political and
communications technological change, and in turn, how these and
other related examples became accumulating reference points in the
ongoing cycle of contentious politics in Rio de Janeiro from
2006-2016 charted throughout the book.
