Abstract

The main goal of this study is to present the nature of the communicational dispute being held in Brazil by the remaining forces of the political and ideological confront from the 60s. Its specific objective is to show the traces of memory that lasted in time taking into account the press coverage of those days. Memoirs, articles and public debates now hope to influence the interpretation of facts that are displayed in history books. This topic deals with the general theme of social memory processing, mainly in cases where a traumatic and dissonant event is involved. Two types of surveys are made. The first includes the editorial and the cinematographic productions about this subject along different periods of time. The second describes VEJA magazine narrative of those same events from 09/25/1968 to 10/13/1993. This study shows that it is possible to describe the continuance of psychic life between generations.
