| Sumario: | This article aims to explore the symbolic violence produced by the spread of optimism by documentaries from the National Agency of the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship, through the mechanism of silencing. Along with the state repressive apparatus, there was also a process of construction of legitimizing images of itself. In addition to the Special Public Relations Advisory, there was an increasing use of the National Agency (AN), the official communication agency of the State, through newsreels and documentaries. To this end, the Amazon, a national historical issue, is of paramount importance, above all, for national integration, a topic dear to the military. This theme gained great prominence with the construction of the Transamazônica highway, through which the regime built and fed optimistic narratives about national directions. We were able to analyze that such representations corresponded, through silencing and optimism, to the promotion of symbolic violence to the Brazilian society itself and, in this case, mainly to the indigenous communities. |
