Description
Summary:This article discusses the Social Communication Council, linked to the Federal Senate, as a symbol of the search for greater social participation in decision-making processes in the field of communication, as a collegiate body in clear dispute for space, definition and continuity since its creation. From the Political Economy of Communication and the Anthropology of State processes, the council is understood as a place of representative listening to civil society since the 1988 constituent. Through a documentary ethnography of the body's archives, we seek problematize the representation of civil society and follow the discursive web around the collegiate itself, aiming to problematize its representative structure, power asymmetries perceived and consider its capacity and scope of action.
