Political history and the media

David Souza Fernandes

We will analyse the government of former Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez (1999 - 2013). Our source will be Veja magazine and the representations it produced about the Chavez government in its editions from 1999 to 2013. We will seek to understand not only Chavez's government and political figure, but also how the media analyses, interprets and represents a government. What circumstances in the past caused his government to have such a repercussion on the Brazilian and world political scene, dividing opinion. Studies on 'the political' and its revival in historiography, debates and discussions on the field of 'Representations' and analyses of the media will provide theoretical and methodological support for our research. We will analyse studies on the concept of 'Representation'. We will give a brief history of the media and how the media, in our case Veja magazine, outlines its information about a government and the 'politician', constructing a symbolic field in which representations produce meanings. In this way, we understand how the media 'represents' and creates a position that tends to be favourable or unfavourable to a government.
