SUMMARY:

The context of polarization highlighted in Brazil's current climate points to a process of antagonism between groups, in which the historical past becomes an object of dispute. Based on the societal approach to social representations, this dissertation investigated dissent and memorial consensus about major Brazilian events. The first stage of the research (N= 126) identified consensus on major Brazilian events. Through analysis using the IRaMuTeQ software, it was found that the most recalled events were based on temporal proximity and the influence of educational contexts. Based on the evocations, a list of important Brazilian events was compiled, containing respectively: Arrival of the Royal Family, Independence of Brazil, Abolition of Slavery, Proclamation of the Republic, Brazilian Military Regime, Diretas Já, 1988 Federal Constitution, Real Plan, Covid-19 Pandemic and 2022 Presidential Election. Study 2 (N=420) sought to investigate memorial dissensus and consensus regarding
the selected national events. A scale questionnaire was used in which participants rated their emotions and the importance of each event. The answers were analyzed in RStudio using Latent Profile Analysis which aims to identify subgroups within the sample. A consensually negative assessment was found for the Covid-19 Pandemic and a high importance for the Abolition of Slavery. Six patterns of responses were identified that accounted for the following groups: Generational Nationalists, Youth Nationalists, Democrats, Oligarchs, Historical Indifferents and Republicans. The variation in position-taking was anchored in the political affiliations of the participants. The results show that the positioning of the subgroups is related to an organizing principle, focused on the future. Memory is based on aspects of the present, related to the context of polarization, and ideals of a future society.
We conclude the importance of analyzing the role of the imagination of the collective future as an element in the construction of the social past.
