Dissertação (Mestrado) – Universidade Federal do Pará, Instituto de Ciências Jurídicas, Belém, 2013. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/6408This thesis aims to analyze critically the judged case of ADPF 130 over the light of Hannah Arendt’s political thought, for this thesis leads the discussion of the meaning of reputable press in the promotion of freedom of expression, as it can make effective the principle of publicity in the public sphere. Arendt’s thought contributes to critically evaluate the rationality of the Brazilian Judiciary in the decision of ADPF 130 because Judiciary claims doubtfully that the press has a forming public opinion democratic role and that any law to regulate media activity implies an immediate falling into the risk of censorship. Chapter 1 summarizes the arguments proposed in the ADPF, in order to show that the votes of ministers are mostly based on general conceptions of liberalism and its consequences in the performance of the press in brazilian democracy. Then, the beginning of chapter 2 outlines the main characteristics of Arendt’s political thought in The Human Condition and in Origins of Totalitarianism. These descriptions were presented to place these works in the political tradition of western political thought, exposing the general contours of its political system, characterized by vita activa and doxa, by the function of the law and by the distinction between public and private domain. In its final part, chapter two analyzes the expressions of Arendt`s thought about the free speech and the meanings of ideal press in this situation. The aim is to test her political thought in practical elements, verifying its applicability in face of the concrete reality of the decision that revoked the press law. Chapter III puts Arendt's thought in the political tradition of the Western world. Arendt highlights when political freedom, manifested between the capacity and the will, dissociates, producing obstacles to the emergence of doxa in the acting in concert, among men. Thus, mistakenly, politics becomes, apparently, nothing more than an old truism to ensure freedom. In this context, it is understood that the press is conceived by the majority of the votes of the ministers, with the role of forming public opinion because, implicitly, they consider us living in a democracy where men do not participate effectively of public life.porAcesso AbertoLiberalismoLiberdade de expressãoDireito e políticaArendt, Hannah, 1906-1975DissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::DIREITO::TEORIA DO DIREITO::FILOSOFIA DO DIREITO
