Our research aims to analyze one of the most important magazines of the twentieth century: Time Magazine. The investigations focus on the discourse of reports that emphasized the worry and discomfort of the magazine with the communist threat that hung over Brazil between the years 1958 and 1961, a moment that covers the path of the rise and output power of former President Quadros. We argue that the ideology of the magazine, known worldwide as the "American Century" - created by its owner Henry Luce - was being confronted in Latin America, particularly in Brazil, by the advance of communism and anti-American demonstrations promoted that context. Thus, Time Magazine, through their reporting on Brazil during the administration of Quadros, presented an analytical discourse about our culture, politics and economy as "risky" to U.S. interests. Such risks were related to Time Magazine troubled administration Quadros, according TIME: an eccentric. The title of this thesis "Wherefore Art Thou, Jânio?" (Why thou Jânio?), Inspired by one of his reports, research illustrates that the TIME Magazine 'organized around the personality of Quadros. Several terms, mostly pejorative, were being attributed to each offense he performed against the presence and U.S. intervention in Latin America
