Abstract

Since the 1980s, media intervention has been used in UN peacekeeping missions to combat communications that fuel conflicts. Recently, media interventions have reached other contexts and areas, from art to politics. From this perspective, the paper aims to explore the theoretical propositions and practical potentialities of media intervention strategies for media insurgencies in territories of social vulnerability, supported by decolonial precepts. Given that, the article relies on a literature review in the three fields that make up the theoretical framework, communication, political philosophy, and political geography, and a case study of media intervention in the largest favela in Sao Paulo, Heliópolis, and its results in another community, Pós-Balsa, in another city.
