A pena do dragão no tabloide de Ipanema

memórias da relação entre Glauber Rocha e O Pasquim nos anos 1970

Abstract

In 1970, during the military dictatorship and the Institutional Act No. 5, Glauber Rocha was an active collaborator of the humorous newspaper from Rio de Janeiro, O Pasquim. The partnership between the Bahian filmmaker and the tabloid members was collaborative while seeing themselves as agents of the same field of symbolic production – that they were standing opponents of the authoritarian regime. In 1974, an unexpected attitude of Glauber provoked in the group of the newspaper a discomfort generated by the mistrust that the filmmaker had “adhered” to the regime. From there, the relationship changed and gave way to a tense climate. This article proposes, based on theories of Pierre Bourdieu and his elaboration on the symbolic power, to understand the tensions of the disputes of meaning that occurred between Glauber Rocha and the members of O Pasquim.
