The main goal of this thesis is to understand the logics involved in the process of building the visibility of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) in the Post-Constitution of 1988, especially in the senses produced from the Criminal Lawsuit nº 470 trial (also known as the “judgment of the big monthly allowance” or “mensalão”) in the formation of the public image of the court and its ministers. In this, it is assumed that the media intersects the conflicts between the judicial sphere and the political sphere, which provokes different outcomes related to the images of the actors and institutions involved in this manner. In this sense, the media’s central role is recognized as it produces the public visibility, since the media functions as a productive device of practices, discourses, events, images and subjectivities. The main hypothesis is that the Supreme Court as a political actor is subjected to the strategies and logic from the media sphere. It is believed that the visibility spaces are managed from the strategies, disputes, interests and negotiations. Thus, the challenge was to analyze the Supreme Court’s institutional changes, especially in the communication sphere, for example the change in the Ministers’ behavior with the Justice TV creation and the live broadcast of the plenary sessions. This research uses the theoretical-methodological contributions to analyze the dynamics, the tensions and the contradictions arising from the Criminal Lawsuit nº 470 trial. The theoreticalmethodological contributions were based on the French Speech Analysis from the work of the philosopher Michel Foucault, in addition with Pierre Bourdieu's Social Theory notion of fields and finally John Thompson’s notions of visibility and political scandal. Therefore, this research worked with a diversified corpus of statements/images extracted from the media field during the trial period (2012-2014). This event was a milestone in the Court’s process of visibility, due to its strong political content and its intense relationship with the media. From a discursive perspective, it has been analyzed the emergency conditions of the statements regarding the ministers' performance, especially the ones from the case’s rapporteur Minister Joaquim Barbosa, and the reviewer, Minister Ricardo Lewandowski. Finally, it is discussed the effects of this major event which confirms our hypothesis about the imbrications of the media for the STF’s public image.
