In the following pages, I will provide an analysis of the meaning of Marielle Franco’s trajectory in the context of Rio de Janeiro and how it was transformed through her assassination. The analysis is grounded in ten interviews done with some of Franco’s ex-staff members and people that accompanied her trajectory closely. The results will be interpreted in Chap. 4, which focuses on the aspect of memory. Interesting details in the data on Marielle Franco that are not central to the question of memory will be commented on in the footnotes of this chapter.
