From Television Hegemony to the Erosion of Local Cultural Values: A Study on the Mozambican Context
Sérgio Jeremias Langa
ABSTRACT:
The article studies the television programming schedules in Mozambique to understand the educational value of their contents based on the recognition of the educational force that television has in the lives of individuals. The research extends to the field of educational mediation, in order to understand the historical-political panorama, especially before and after national independence. The debate is based on Gramscian thought according to which television is one of the most important institutions of civil society that has the function of educating towards the consensus of fundamental social groups. For the analysis, the Epistemological Dialectic Method and the Content Analysis Method were adopted. The results reveal that the national television schedule contains mostly programs that are not useful for maintaining a cultural memory that is based on ancestry, much less for local cultural values.
