Within a broader context of relations between mass media and social movements, this dissertation analyzes media representation of people affected by the Candonga hydroelectric dam and the Movement of Dam-Affected People (MAB) during the process of dam construction in the Alto Rio Doce region of Minas Gerais State. The study analyzed the news and reports of two newspapers of statewide circulation, Estado de Minas and Hoje em Dia, as well as a weekly newspaper of a municipality located near the dam, Folha de Ponte Nova. The study revealed that media discourse used linguistic discursive resources to frame the actions and proposals of the movement in accord with specific socio- historical moments, contexts and circumstances. These representations either excluded or provided visibility to the movement. However this visibility frequently took the form of criminalizing the movement´s actions, without presenting its proposals.
