Abstract(s)
Setenta anos após a morte de Aristides de Sousa Mendes - o qual conduziu, nas palavras do historiador Yehuda Bauer, “talvez a maior ação de salvamento feita por uma só pessoa durante o Holocausto” -, a sua figura é cada vez mais evocada e mais presente num regime agora democrático, ou não tivesse sido ele lesado e esquecido pelo próprio regime autoritário antecedente por ter desobedecido às suas instruções.
Esta dissertação pretende analisar como o jornalismo, através da imprensa escrita portuguesa, recolheu, investigou e transmitiu informação sobre o cônsul, procurando desempenhar um papel relevante na construção da memória desta figura outrora apagada e ausente na cobertura jornalística por ter desafiado as ordens de António de Oliveira Salazar. Realizou-se um levantamento de artigos sobre Aristides de Sousa Mendes em jornais e revistas de maior tiragem, publicadas em Portugal Continental no período compreendido entre a sua morte e o ano de 2021, no qual decorreu a Cerimónia de Concessão de Honras de Panteão Nacional do diplomata.
A premissa para este estudo é a relação entre História, Memória e Jornalismo, cada um desempenhando o seu papel, mas complementando-se entre si e visando um objetivo comum: o reconhecimento deste Justo entre as Nações.
ABSTRACT: Seventy years after the death of Aristides de Sousa Mendes - who led, in the words of the historian Yehuda Bauer, “perhaps the greatest rescue action carried out by a single person during the Holocaust” - his figure is increasingly evoked and more present in a now democratic regime, or he would not have been harmed and forgotten by the previous authoritarian regime itself for having disobeyed its instructions. This dissertation aims to analyse how journalism, through the portuguese press, collected, investigated and transmitted information about the consul, by trying to play a relevant role in constructing the memory of this figure who was once erased and absent from news coverage for having defied António de Oliveira Salazar's orders. An inventory was made of articles about Aristides de Sousa Mendes in newspapers and magazines with the largest circulation, published in mainland Portugal in the period between his death and 2021, when the diplomat's National Pantheon Honours Ceremony took place. The premise for this study is the relationship between History, Memory and Journalism, each playing its own role, but complementing each other and aiming for a common goal: the recognition of this Righteous Among the Nations.
