Disciplina e ordem nas telas do Cine Jornal Brasileiro

Abstract

The military was a key ally of President Getulio Vargas during the Estado Novo regime in Brazil (1937-1945), with a strong role in its ideological representation. In this article, we investigate how this partnership in the exercise of power was shown in the newsreel Cine Jornal Brasileiro (CJB), between 1938 and 1946, a component of the regime's political propaganda strategy. The Armed Forces were a recurring theme and subject of the CJB as part of the government's commitment to convince society to accept the ideological molds of the authoritarian state that was established in the country.
