Resumen
Since the 1970s, the electronics sector of the Industrial Pole and Manaus, located in
the Manaus Free Trade Zone, has contributed to the growth of the local and national
media communication environment, through the production and distribution of
electronics that are fundamental to the media industry in Brazil, such as TV sets,
radios, cell phones, video cameras, cameras, stereos, recorders and computers.
Distant from the national decision-making centers, as responsible for providing part of
the production/reception infrastructure apparatus of the Brazilian media
communication system, the economic development model in operation in the Western
Amazon states is constantly on the agenda in Brazilian journalistic vehicles. In this
thesis, journalistic coverage of the ZFM in newspapers and magazines with national
and local circulation is investigated, demonstrating which were the discursive trainers
used from the decolonial perspective. Its secondary objectives are: 1) Relate the
electro-electronic sector of the ZFM with the waves of mediatization; 2) Identify textual
and discursive evidence of the existence of theoretical and historical foundations
related to decolonial thinking; 3) Understand how the historical moments of the ZFM
were discursively constructed by national and local printed periodicals; 4) Check the
construction of the ZFM's media identity. The corpus of this research is constituted by
109 discursive sequences cut from 93 texts, and that insert in five subject positions,
extracted from the newspapers O Estado de S.Paulo, Folha de São Paulo, Jornal do
Commercio-AM, with editions that circulated in the years 1957, 1967, 1970, 1984,
1986, 1988, 2003, 2014 and 2017. The period was chosen based on the definition of
nine historical moments of the ZFM (creation, regulation, first industry project in the
electronics sector, the four extensions and the 50th anniversary of the regulation).
Such subject positions are encompassed in two Discursive Formations that made it
possible to understand the discursive web about the ZFM, which are: (FD1) ZFM leads
the Amazon to progress and (FD2) ZFM has new challenges. There is a significant
predominance of (FD1), which shows that the meanings most reiterated by the
newspapers and magazines analyzed concern difficult logistics, regulation and the
generation of development and modernity in the Amazon region.
