ANTECEDENTS TO THE DIVORCE LAW: THE CONTENT PUBLISHED ON THE PAGES OFMANCHETEMAGAZINE IN 1975

Abstract

This article aims to analyze how the magazine Manchete(1952-2000) presented the debates that preceded the divorce law (1977) in Brazil. Considering its popularity and circulation intensity, 12 editions were chosen for this work, covering the period from January 4, 1975 (edition 1185) to May 24, 1975 (edition1205). Thus, for the analysis, we will use the Content Analysis methodology, proposed by Laurence Bardin (1977), concomitant with the recommendations made by Moraes (1999) and Zicman (1985). The results indicate, therefore, that the contents conveyed in the reports were directly related (through antidivorcist and divorcist political debates) and indirectly (through questions raised by the world about women's rights).
