Résumé

Les deux pages hebdomadaires de chroniques et de dessins que l'humoriste millor fernandes a signees pendant pres de 15 ans dans la revue veja sont le reflet de l'histoire contemporaine du bresil. L'annee 1982 revet pour ce pays une importance particuliere. Les elections generales aux postes de gouverneurs des etats, senateurs, deputes, maires et conseillers municipaux, qui doivent avoir lieu au mois de novembre, seront un test pour la vie politique. De leur resultat dependra l'elargissement de la democratie ou le renforcement de la dictature militaire. Le deroulement et les resultats de la coupe du monde de football, dans un pays ou ce sport est roi, vont occuper une place importante dans la presse, de meme que la guerre des malouines, bien que le bresil ne soit pas directement concerne par cette affaire. Millor fernandes ne se contente pas de passer au crible de l'humour les evenements marquants, il trace, au fil des semaines, le portrait de ses contemporains et de la vie quotidienne au bresil. Et si la campagne electorale est tres presente, il fait aussi allusion aux difficultes economiques du pays, ecrase par le poids de la dette exterieure, a la gestion contestee des hommes au pouvoir (militaires et technocrates), aux inegalites sociales qui en decoulent, aux scandales, a la corruption, a la censure. La vision que nous donne millor fernandes de la vie politique, de la vie en societe, des moeurs, de la condition humaine, dessine une image du bresil et de l'homme en 1982, mais revele aussi un ecrivain moraliste et pamphletaire, temoin de son temps.

The two weekly pages of chronicles and drawings which the humorist millor fernandes signed for almost fifteen years in the magazine veja are a reflexion of brazil's contemporary history. The year 1982 took on a particular importance for this country. The general elections to the various posts of state governors, senators, representatives, mayors and town-councillors which were to take place in november, would be a test in the country's political life. The development of democracy or the strengthening of the military dictature would depend on their results. The world cup events and its results, in a country where football is king, we going to take an important place in the press, so was the falklands war, even though brazil was not directly concerned by this conflict. Not only did millor fernandes filter the striking events through the lens of humour, but as weeks went by, he came to draw a portrait of his contemporaries and of everyday life in brazil. And if the electoral campaign was often at stake, he also alluded to the country's economic difficulties, burdened as brazil was by its external debt, to the controversial management of the men in power (both army-people and technocrats), to the social inequality resulting from it, to scandals, corruption, censorship. The vision which millor fernandes thus gives us of the political and social life, of morals and of the human condition, draws a picture of brazil and of man in 1982, but also reveals a writer who is a moralist, a pamphleteer and a witness of his time.
