Interview as a research theme in the field of communication/ A entrevista como tema de pesquisa no campo da comunicacao

This article aims to investigate what has been and what has not been debated about interview in the scientific research in the field of communication on Brazil. Initially, were considered papers presented at the largest congress in this field, over the last 10 years. Three main axes were identified: discourse, interaction and memory. Consecutively, we revisited two researches most cited, written by Edgar Morin and Cremilda Medina. We identified important aspects about interview in both and points that were silenced. The comparison with the interview approach in another field, oral history, showed that is necessary to broaden the debate, still in early stages, about issues as: power relations between interviewer and interviewee; benefit sharing; formulating questions and interviews about traumas. The broadening of the debate is justified by the dissonance between established journalistic practices and the new demands of the contemporary communication. Keywords: Interview. Memory. Oral history. O objetivo do trabalho e investigar o que tem sido e o que nao tem sido debatido a respei-to da entrevista na pesquisa cientifica brasileira no campo da comunicacao. Inicialmente observamos pesquisas apresentadas nos ultimos 10 anos no maior congresso da area. Foram identificados tres eixos principais: discurso, interacao e memoria. Em seguida, re-visitamos os dois trabalhos mais citados pelos pesquisadores, de Edgar Morin e Cremilda Medina. Identificamos aspectos de destaque na formulacao de ambos e tambem os silen-ciados. A comparacao desses aspectos com a abordagem da entrevista em outro campo, o da historia oral, demonstrou que, na comunicacao, e preciso ampliar o debate, ainda incipiente, sobre temas como: relacao de poder entre entrevistador e entrevistado; com-partilhamento de beneficios; elaboracao de perguntas e entrevistas sobre traumas. A am-pliacao desse debate justifica-se ainda pela dissonancia entre praticas jornalisticas arrai-gadas e novas demandas da comunicacao contemporanea. Palavras-chave: Entrevista. Memoria. Historia oral.
