SUMMARY:

The main objective of this dissertation was to analyze the narrative of the superseries “Os dias Eram assim”, a production of TV Globo network from 2017. Set in the city of Rio de Janeiro between 1970 and 1985, the plot explores the context of the Brazilian dictatorial regime, in particular the "years of lead" and the subsequent process of political opening. The narrative focuses on the love story between Alice Sampaio (Sophie Charlotte) and Renato Reis (Renato Góes), whose romance is hampered by the political events of that period of history. The research was conducted based on the methodological approach proposed by Jérôme Bourdon. In the analysis, three prominent elements were identified: (i) the extensive inclusion of image files of the broadcaster's television journalism gives the work elements that promote authenticity, the documentary character and, mainly, a sense of witness to the events of the period; (ii) the character Natália Andrade (Mariana Lima), a History teacher, was used in the narrative as a symbol of resistance, being tortured and elected deputy at the end of the plot. Thus, the teacher's life was influenced by the political events of that context, raising reflections on the contemporary nature of the work, with emphasis on the “National Truth Commission” and the issue of the “School Movement Without Party”. In this sense, a connection was identified between the representation of the dictatorial past and the context of the superseries' exhibition; (iii) the narrative emphasizes the involvement of civil society in the repressive apparatus and its financing during the military dictatorship, with emphasis on the role of the construction industry and the use of the term "civil-military dictatorship". Finally, in contextual terms, the analysis focused on the reception of a "Bolsonarista" inclination on Twitter, driven by Eduardo Bolsonaro's call for his followers to create counter-narratives in response to the plot using the hashtag "#osdiasnaoeramassim," promoting what Napolitano (2021) called “ideological revisionism”. Furthermore, these reactions align with the vision of Stuart Hall, who conceives of culture as a field of symbolic struggle, where different groups compete for the definition of cultural meanings and representations. In this context, a space of memory disputes is evident, in which both TV Globo Network and the "bolsonaristas" resort to the dictatorial past, using it to promote their agendas in the contemporary times in which the plot was displayed.
