Entre insígnias e brasões: a construção do Movimento Armorial sob a ótica do Diário de Pernambuco (1970-1974)

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the dissemination of the Armorial Movement in the publications of the newspaper Diário de Pernambuco (DP), in the city of Recife, from 1970 to 1974. Using the newspaper as the source and object, the goal is to identify how the DP disseminated and represented the Movement Armorial in its editions and also address the role of the subjects involved in disseminating the Armorial Movement, their social positions and the state support given to this cultural manifestation. The data for this research was collected in the Hemeroteca Digital, on the National Library website, using the word ‘armorial’ as a filter. Data analysis showed that the discourses produced by the DP are similar to the state discourse in the cultural scope. This discourse aspires to portray the Armorial Movement, especially the Orquestra Armorial de Câmara do Recife as a manifestation that represents the roots of Brazilian culture.
