Durante este período, ele disputou as eleições presidenciais brasileiras e governou o país até sua renúncia à Presidência. De acordo com a historiografia ¿ numa posição similar quando comparada a posições comumente veiculadas pela memória coletiva -, o personalismo dele poderia ser apontado como o principal fator para explicar sua força política, e a propaganda política ajudaria a construir seu prestígio de forma enganosa. Tal ponto de vista pressupõe que o eleitorado brasileiro era passivo e ingênuo, sendo facilmente manipulado por demagogos, o que é uma interpretação clássica para a política na América Latina como um todo, sob a capa do conceito de populismo. Tentando evitar essa perspectiva, sugiro como o espetáculo envolvendo a política naquelas circunstâncias também era formado por partes relevantes da população, isto é, membros de diferentes grupos sociais faziam propaganda por eles próprios, escrevendo e debatendo poesias, textos e músicas com temáticas políticas. Estes aspectos da campanha presidencial são estudados através de cartas então recebidas por Jânio Quadros de várias partes do Brasil e de diferentes grupos sociais, da mesma forma que através de discursos políticos, da imprensa e da propaganda oficial organizada pelo Movimento Popular Jânio Quadros. A análise destas fontes indica o quanto o mencionado líder estava atrelado a projetos políticos e como isso foi decisivo para atrair o apoio do eleitorado em geral, especialmente com a tradição da Democracia Cristã. Em outras palavras, seu personalismo parece apenas tê-lo promovido na medida em que ele era associado a propostas e práticas políticas, as quais foram objeto de discussão entre a população. E, uma vez que estas considerações põem algumas luzes na forma como Jânio Quadros era levado a sério pelo seu eleitorado, também tento mostrar o quão problemática é a perspectiva que defende ter ele renunciado à Presidência em razão de falta de equilíbrio psicológico, procurando sugerir que os projetos políticos implementados por ele talvez possam oferecer pistas para o esclarecimento das motivações de tal ato / Abstract: In this text I intend to analyse the construction of the public image of Jânio Quadros between 1959 and 1961. During this period he disputed the Brazilian presidential elections and ruled the country until his resignation to the presidency. According to the historiography - in a similar position when compared with positions commonly conveyed by the collective memory -, his personalism could be pointed out as the main factor to explain his political force, and political propaganda would help to build his prestige in a misleading way. Such point of view assumes that the Brazilian electorate was passive and naive, being easily manipulated by demagogues, which is a classical interpretation for politics in Latin America as a whole under the cover of the concept of populism. By trying to avoid this outlook, I suggest that the spectacle involving politics in those circunstances was also formed by relevant parts of the population, that is to say that members of different social groups made propaganda by themselves, writing and debating poetry, texts and songs with political themes. These aspects of the presidential campaign are studied through letters then received by Jânio Quadros from varied parts of Brazil and different social groups, as well as through political speechs, the press and the official propaganda organised by the Jânio Quadros Popular Movement. The analysis of these sources indicates how the mentioned leader was attached to political projects and how that was decisive to attract the support of the electorate in general, especially with the tradition of the Christian Democracy. In other words, his personalim just seems to have promoted him as he was associated with political proposals and practices, which were objects of discussion among the population. And since these considerations put some lights in the way Jânio Quadros was taken seriously by his electorate, I also try to show how problematic is the perspective that defends he resigned from presidency because lack of psychological equilibrium, searching to suggest that the political projects implemented by him may offer some clues about the motivations of such act / Doutorado / Politica, Memoria e Cidade / Doutor em História

This diploma thesis deals with the reception of the newly established Czechoslovakia by the British press from 1918 to 1922. My task was to find out how often and in what context did Czechoslovakia appear in the press and what was the difference between the image of the republic in each newspaper. Secondarily, my task was to evaluate the success of the Czechoslovak propaganda in Britain. The thesis consists of two parts. The first part presents the context of the emergence of Czechoslovakia, Czechoslovak-British diplomacy aims and cultural propaganda in the given period. One chapter is dedicated to the history of the British press and includes profiles of the journals examined. The practical part incorporates both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Four broadsheets in total were analysed; The Times, The Manchester Guardian, The Daily Telegraph and a Sunday newspaper The Observer. Quantitative content analysis of The Times was used to determine the frequency, the length and the interest of the mentions of Czechoslovakia as well as the theme of the articles. Based on the quantitative analysis, sample time periods were selected for the qualitative section. The qualitative analysis further deepens the quantitative part and presents the explicit and implicit attributes that Czechoslovakia was...
