Abstract

This paper analyzes the use of the term Guerra do Rio as a structuring element of the journalistic narratives about the drug trafficking in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. Based on reports published in two Rio newspapers - O Globo and Jornal do Brasil - in ten different years, over four decades, it seeks to recover the conditions of emergence of this representation and the meanings put into circulation, as well as to problematize its consequences. Using the agenda setting (Mc Combs and Shaw) and the frame analysis (Entmann) we intend to understand how the construction of a city at war in journalistic discourses influenced the public agenda in different periods, justifying the militarization of the every daily life of the population living in slums, subjecting it to a violent sociability (Machado da Silva).
