Social representations of Brazilian Truth Commission on news comments

The study investigated the social representations of the Brazilian Truth Commission from the news comments about its final report released in December 2014.

They were submitted to a lexical analysis on the software Radicalized discourses justifying the violations and narratives denying the existence of a dictatorship were observed. Discussion: Results were in line with social media theories about online behavior, but they do not corroborate previous research on the social representations of the military regime and Truth Commissions in South America.
