Abstract

The article discusses the subjectivity of a public television station, TV Cultura, in the brazilian state of Pará. We want to identify, in its history, the persistence of a nativist and patrimonialist discourse, wich has its centrality in the perception of the Amazon region with a claim to totality and essentiality. It is, essentially, a conservative discourse, closed the innovations that are not produced internally in Amazon. Thinking culture as a unique identity, this discourse affirms ideas of ownership, permanence and integrity, being a translation of the local elites thought, who feels threatened by the alleged “loss” of their traditional symbolic references by the dynamics of integration, including media sphere, of the Amazonian region to the Brazilian national society.
