WHEN JOURNALISM AND LITERATURE MEET:
A CRITICAL READING OF BRAZILIAN HOLOCAUST AND ITS IMPACT ON SOCIAL MEMORY
literary journalism; book-report; journalism and literature; journalism and social
memory.
This essay raises the hypothesis that the book-report is a journalistic-literary device that builds
social memory, as it circumvents the permanence of the mass press. For this, a critical reading
of the Holocausto Brasileiro, by Daniela Arbex, is made. The central theme of this research is
how journalism and literature are linked and how both work for the social memory's
construction. For this, we analyze this relationship, contextualizing this encounter, but
between research and narration and between text and image. Thus, we unfold the possibility
of investigating how a book report is a relevant component in the construction of the history
and memory of our society.
