The article reflects on and proposes a theoretical discussion about the concept of Underground, one of the media systems operating in contemporary society, as observed by Carlón (2022). In order to reflect on the theoretical and epistemological foundations of this concept, the discussion focuses on the aspects related to the coup events of January 8, 2023, in Brazil. The communicational complexities of this context are critically analyzed through the lens of mediatization, hypermediatization and the structural dimensions of media systems. This analysis allows for inferences about the impact of these communicative dynamics on meaning-making collectives.
