Abstract

This article is related to an extensive research on censorship,
sponsored by Fapesp (Foundation for Research Support of São
Paulo), that has its base on censorship processes, irradiating to the
investigation of censored words, their category and text implications,
the tracking of public opinion about censors’ interventions, as well
as the journalistic manifestations about these issues. In this article
we present partial results of our current research on discursive
formations that have inspired the Manual for Media Rating, a set
of rules that guides the classification applied to cultural and artistic
productions, such as movies, television programs etc. This paper
explores the classification of A Serbian film, a recent polemic
process in the Brazilian scenario after the federal Ministry of Justice
refused to forbid the movie.
