“Um dos mais fecundos movimentos de nossa vida como nação civilizada”: identidade e memória da semana de arte moderna nas páginas do Jornal do Brasil (1972)

Abstract

This undergraduate thesis has as its theme the a posteriori publications about the Week of Modern Art in Jornal do Brasil. The aim is to understand, from the concept of cultural identity, how Jornal do Brasil approached the celebrations of the Week of Modern Art, emphasizing the 50th birthday celebration, a period in which the country is under a military government. Based on the concepts of identity construction proposed by Stuart Hall and on the concept of collective memory presented by Paul Connerton , based on the documents analysis, we seek to verify whether the discursive strategies adopted by the newspaper corroborate for a production sense of the “nation” surrounding this event.
