Abstract
We present in this article comparison points among situations studied in the state of Maranhão, Brazil, and in three provinces of Southern Angola: Huambo, Huíla and Benguela. In both cases, we have identified the coexistence of archaic and traditional communicative practices as well as the use of new technologies, such as the use of the Internet and digital social media. For the analysis and interpretation of the cases, we used the theoretical and methodological framework proposed by authors of cultural studies, such as Williams (2016) and Hall (2013), in addition to Thompson (2013) and García Canclini (2008). We can see, from the cases presented here, that the relations between tradition and modernity and of time and space, for example, are appropriated by the subjects in order to account for their daily practices. may or may not be guided by the logic of the media.
