Tramas do tempo no telejornalismo local: temporalidades sociais no programa Terra de Minas

Abstract

This article analyzes how the program called Terra de Minas (TV Globo Minas) addresses different temporalities as a way to establish an image of the city of Belo Horizonte. Based on the contributions of Cultural Studies, this article assumes that the past is not something that is finalized, but it is summoned in the present and may assume places of dispute and opposition to the dominant forms. In the same way, the future can be lived in the present, not as something projected, but as that which reconfigures elements of the dominant or that establishes something new. The textual analysis of the program, based on its visual, sound and verbal elements, signals for at least three calls of social temporalities: the past as patrimony, the future as an improvement of the past and the past as a construction of oneself.
