Abstract

The present work seeks to analyze the ascension process of the political leadership of Severino Gonçalves da Silva in São Francisco / MG 1970-2002. The compression of the political power proposed here is based on the theoretical proposal of René Remonde and Pierre Bourdieu, the first brings contributions on invigorations of political history and thus tells us that politics is likely to be a stratification of the social to which converges the games of interest and the management of life in society, conceiving in the field of politics a need for analysis, not as the managerial domain of all others, but where the noblest interests of the collectivity are managed; already this second one contributes to the symbolic universe that allows dominators and dominated social places that are constructed socially, by symbolic cultural concession. With these theoretical contributions our research chose as sources the newspapers and the memory. The analysis of the newspapers was with the criticism and analysis of the interests and groups behind this source and the memory to us was expensive to understand how the socializations of the official discourses are constituted in the actuality and how the society conceives, lives and participates of the politics. The life in society and the collective memory about the governments is perceived as being a factor to confer to ex mayor, credit, trust, since he has possesses the capacity of actions and political force front to the others. Factor that relegates our life in society and the quality of our democracy to a low level of citizenship. Thus, we map which symbolic and cultural factors condition our political life. Therefore, our analysis focuses on the aspects related to the construction and deconstruction of memories and the implications of the transformations and permanencies of the political power that affects our Republic.
