- Abstract
In 1989, in Brazil, the centenary of the Proclamation of the Republic was commemorated (november 15, 1889). Already in democracy, although with a president-elect indirectly. In 1985, Tancredo Neves was elected by the electoral board, after the failure of the Diretas Já! Campaign. His early death placed his vicepresident, José Sarney in the presidency. In this context, Veja magazine published a special issue dedicated to the anniversary. During the Brazilian military dictatorship (1964-1985), Veja defended the place of Brazil in Latin America and in this way the government of the dictatorship, supporting industrialization plans, exports and loans to the countries of the continent, because their interests were in consonance with the military projects, through which it enlarged its economic capital. So, the magazine sought to show a neutral stance when in fact it positioned itself in the place of the search for consensus and the articulation of interests. In this sense, we maintain that the weekly publication functioned as an organ representing the interests of the business and military elites of the right. The objective of this article is to analyze the representations of the Brazilian Republic published by Veja in that issue dedicated to the commemoration of the anniversary of the proclamation of the republic, paying special attention to the position of the magazine on the incipient Brazilian democracy, taking into account his proven support for the aforementioned dictatorship.
