SUMMARY:

This dissertation analyzes a series of reports on banditry in the Northeast, written by Severino Barbosa and published in the Diário de Pernambuco between 1966 and 1967, in which the phenomenon is organized into three cycles: the cangaceiro cycle, the jagunço cycle, and the pistoleiro cycle. Although each cycle has its own particularities, they are all based on a discourse that characterizes the Northeast region as an essentially violent space, and this study seeks to interpret how this interpretation was constructed. Initially, the research traces a brief trajectory of the journalist within the dynamics of the media conglomerate to which he was linked, his transition through different spheres of society, and the production process of his series. Next, it delves into the reports, identifying the references mobilized. This work uses as sources the series on banditry, in addition to other productions written by Severino Barbosa published in different media and their repercussion in the press. The study, which is qualitative in nature, uses the methodological procedures of Heloísa de Faria Cruz and Maria do Rosário da Cunha Peixoto (2007) and Tânia Regina de Luca (2008), which guide the analysis of the spatial, political, economic and social dimensions of the press. In addition, it uses the semiolinguistic analysis of Patrick Charaudeau's discourse (2013) to explore the elements of journalistic writing, while the works of Ana Maria Mauad (1993; 2005a; 2005b; 2006) provide support for interpreting the photographs present in the reports, raising hypotheses about the meanings attributed to them. In general terms, this dissertation aims to demonstrate that Severino Barbosa, although he engages in dialogue with different perspectives, manages to produce his own interpretation of the Northeast, which generates an impact on the readers who consume it through the pages of the newspaper.
