Abstract

The aim of article is to elaborate a methodological investigation to approximate politics and communication in order to show how common citizens, frequently ignored by political processes, set in motion and articulate different discourses when compelled to take a position in front of questions that affect their daily life. In order to empirically evidence our intentions we established eight discussion groups with poor women benefited by the Bolsa-Família Program in the cities of Campinas and Belo Horizonte.
