Abstract

This article aims to discuss the participation of the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB), through its militants in a specific context of modernization media - the changing profile of the Brazilian television in the 1970s – that coincided with the “institutionalization” of Communists in government bodies and media organizations. We will analyze the relationship between professional artists and intellectuals with the Communist television, to not only ask whether this process was “infiltration” or if there was “co-option” but to highlight how they were ambiguous and mutually constitutive articulations such existing political practices, ie showing the dialectic between them.
