Abstract

The present research reflects upon the use of technology as a profitable way to express the voices of disadvantaged groups. The empirical study conducted as part of the present research focusses on a audiovisual production made by children who live in the streets of Campinas, São Paulo. This experience of video production was the result of a collaboration of three different groups: the teenagers who live in the street, members of a NGO (Mano a Mano) and a group of university students engaged in a media-studies undergraduated course. The corpus of the analysis includes audiovisual produced, field notes of the process of production, and also the material excluded during the editing process. In the search for criteria suitable for data analysis a discussion on audiovisual production was also conducted. The results of the study offer some useful guidelines to understand the difficulties faced and the possibilities offered by the production of audiovisual materials by peripheral groups and highlights some problems that must be taken into consideration in future experiences (AU)
