Narrativas sobre o golpe no Brasil: acontecimento, jornalismo e disputas de sentido

Abstract

From recent Brazilian political events – the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff and the judicial processes that led to the conviction and arrest of former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva – we reflected about disputes of meaning and power plays that involve the gestures of narration journalistically the events. Methodologically, we analyze news collected from the Uol and GGN News sites, adopting as a procedure possible inter-relationships between narratives and events. From the analysis, emerge disputes of meaning in the definition of political events that oppose the notion of a coup against democracy to that of political and judicial actions guided by constitutional principles.
