The military regime installed in Brazil in 1964 put the brazilian society under the custody of the Armed Forces.

This paper aims basically at understanding the role of the communication means acting nationwide in an analysis of the journalistic speeches coming from a segment of the brazilian press which described the events concerning the armed resistance to the Military Regime, having the daily newspapers as their primary force and searching to understand through the logic of the journalistic speeches their objectives and historic meanings. It analyses the the way that a former military, captain Carlos Lamarca, who deserted the Army Military life in January 1969 to dedicate himself to the armed fight in front of the Revolutionary Popular Forefront(VPR), so becoming an icon in the history of the resistance to the Military Regime. Searching through the narrative construction of the recent historic facts of our country, mainly those which involved the organizations from the left which played the most important role in the armed fight between 1969/1971, our interest was to understand the versions created by the written press about the construction of a negative image of former captain Carlos Lamarca, a symbolic figure who lives in the imaginary brazilian politician among the myths of the hero and the traitor.
