About Iago Bojczuk Caramgo, "Media Cartographies of Broadband Access in Brazil: The Case of the Geostationary Defense and Strategic Communications Satellite (SGDC-1) and Rural Schools"
The launch of the Geostationary Defense and Strategic Communications Satellite (SGDC- 1) in 2017 materialized the Brazilian government's long-standing political desire to achieve national strategic communications. Representing one of the most expensive investments in the space and telecommunication sectors in 21st-century Brazil, the SGDC- 1 emerged in the public discourse not only as a high-capital and sophisticated artifact capable of fostering national pride but also as a savior of broadband Internet connectivity for Brazil's rural and remote schools. This thesis critically examines media cartographies and discourses surrounding the SGDC-1 and points out how Brazil's strategic agendas and modernization campaigns were channeled into connectivity initiatives in rural schools. By offering a humanistic approach to untangle the complex systems that enable the SGDC-1's operations throughout Brazil's territory, I unravel major points of contention in the conceptualization of rural schools as "dark spots of information" in government discourses. I then proceed to explore the government's use of the televisual as part of its strategy to frame what I call a "space-telecom propaganda." Drawing upon materials including government reports, popular press articles, datasets, court hearings, televisual texts, and satellite footprint maps, I demonstrate how the SGDC-1 functions not only as a high-technological artifact but also as a political tool interwoven with the government's efforts to shape how citizens engage with notions of the "global village" and "digital divide." Through a critical media studies approach, I describe how the satellite's sociotechnical relations reveal what remains largely obscure to Brazilian publics. From questions pertinent to militarization, governance, and public-private partnerships to issues of longterm strategies, sustainability, and potential infrastructural disruptions, I argue these issues deserve public scrutiny as the SGDC project might be at stake in the foreseeable future given the current political conditions. To mitigate those potential shortcomings, I suggest the creation of a National Internet Satellite Plan to undertake some of these questions and orient future policy frameworks that may rely on the SGDC's constellation for broadband-enabled inclusion, national integration, community development, and socioeconomic progress.
