'We used to remember...' - communication and interaction between Itapuí Settlement residents and the 'Movimento Sem Terra' (Landless Movement)

This article analyses communication interaction practices amongst members of the Movimento Sem Terra (Landless Movement) - MST, in order to understand how residents of a particular MST settlement in Itapuí, RS, keep and (re)update their experiences in the movement through internal and external communicational processes. The analysis is based on Cultural Studies and Reception Studies with emphasis on the notions of daily life, experience, identity and memory. Our ethnographic methodological construction included documental research, as well as regular visits and systematic observation of the settlement's daily life. Results indicate that residents´ interactions are constructed through both sociocultural processes not mediated through media like local parties and other MST celebrations and other sociocultural processes in which mediation of commercial media is relevant.
