Abstract

This proposal is linked to the FAPESP Thematic Project, process number 2022/06032-0, entitled "Audiovisual, history and preservation: the place of Brazilian newsreels and television reports in the construction of memory (1946 - 1974)", started in April this year . The intention is to examine, in the democratic period and the civil-military dictatorship in Brazil, the representations of historical events and social groups, the imaginary and the cultural and political discourses that recur in them, based on the collection Cine Jornal Informativo (1946-1954 ), newsreels from Fundo Atlântida (1955-1974) and Fundo Canal 100 (1959-1974), and telereports shown by TV Tupi (Fundo Tupi, 1950-1974), documentation belonging to the Cinemateca Brasileira (CB) collection. There are two research axes of the Thematic Project: audiovisual and history; and audiovisual preservation, a dimension implied by the corpus to be analyzed, and the actions that involve its recovery and access.This scientific initiation project aims to seek information from the specialized press (Radiolândia, Intervalo, Sete dias na TV, São Paulo na TV and Revista do Rádio e TV) about the timetable, the broadcasting of news released on television, the trajectory of important commentators in the television press, such as Chico Ribeiro and Maurício Loureiro Gama.
