  • 5 As Câmeras E O Turismo Em Kolkata.Cap 6.Pdf
    As Câmeras e o Turismo em Kolkata: Representações em Photovoice EIXOS TEMÁTICOS REPRESENTACIONAIS Como descrevi no capítulo 3, o método que utilizo para análise da informação recolhida em photovoice assenta numa síntese entre a semiótica cognitiva e a análise de discurso, adaptada no sentido de criar uma semântica que permita aceder à dialógica das associações estabelecidas entre as imagens visuais e textuais produzidas pelos mesmos sujeitos. A partir do tratamento da totalidade das séries narrativas obtidas foram identificadas persistências de características pictóricas e de enunciados, que conduziram à definição de dois grandes eixos temáticos dominantes na representação desta cidade e dos seus habitantes: Terceiro Mundo e Oriente. O seu tratamento individualizado é articulado nesta secção. 6. Representações de Terceiro Mundo “O Terceiro Mundo é pobre e a pobreza é causada pela falta de desenvolvimento económico” 6.1 Representações de Terceiro Mundo e Pobreza: Metanarrativas155 e Conceitos Mediadores As formações discursivas utilizadas pelos turistas internacionais para descrever Kolkata evidenciam uma aproximação a formações enunciativas vigentes, que remetem para um primeiro eixo temático: as metanarrativas produzidas sobre o Terceiro Mundo nas sociedades ocidentais. 155 Termo usado no sentido filosófico de grande narrativa; uma narrativa de nível superior (meta – do termo grego que significa “para além de”), globalizante, capaz de explicar todo o conhecimento existente ou capaz de representar uma verdade absoluta. O uso que faço do termo ao longo desta dissertação é o de “discurso de carácter normativo para representação de um objecto”, enquadrado pela posição crítica de Jean-François Lyotard (1989 [1979]), de desconstrução do mito cartesiano (Discurso do Método) sobre o conhecimento.

Hundreds of thousands of our qualified youngsters take off from different international airports every year for higher studies or highly lucrative jobs in the Us, the UK, Germany, France and Australia. And most of these Indians prefer to settle abroad, attracted by the facilities and the higher quality of life provided by these countries. We have been crying hoarse about brain drain from India over the last five decades or more, without going in for a well-set blueprint to check the counter-productive phenomenon. Some of the public schools in our metros and our IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) and IIMs(Indian Institutes of Management) are providing world-class education. One might wonder that having spent a lot on infrastructure, training and other facilities and the best teaching staff, can the Government and the people of India look away as the talent, assiduously nurtured in India, is utilized by other countries for their development and excellence in different fields. 2. During the decades long debate on brain drain, it was said that our youngsters leave India just because excellence is neither recognized nor rewarded – In India.
