Abstract

The objective of this text is to analyze how the Brazilian television constructs the representation of the death. We intend to show that, from the transmission of Jornal Nacional on, by Rede Globo de Televisão, showing the end of the agony of the president-elect, on 21 April 1985, TV constructed a çeremony about the death event. Using many strategies, the online coverage of the funeral of Tancredo Neves as Media's events produces a kind of time pause and tries to make the public adhere to the spectacle. The text presents some results of the research "Media and Ceremonies, an analysis of the ceremonial model of the Brazilian TV", funded by CNPq
