The development of the historiography of armed struggle against military dictatorship in brazil (1990-...)

Abstract

The following article seeks to carry out a bibliographic survey on the revolutionary organizations against the Military Dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1985). The work includes both academic works (dissertations, theses, articles and books), as well as memorial and biographical works. The focus of the works, in the text now presented, was the study of a specific organization of armed struggle, excluding general works on the organizations of armed struggle. The survey took place mainly on the platforms “Catalog of Theses & Dissertations - CAPES” and, for articles, on “Scielo.org”. As we will try to show, works with this theme developed to be developed still in 1990, gaining regularity in the first decade of the century (2000s) and, in the decade just found, there was a significant increase in the production of dissertations and theses with the focus proposed here. We seek to discuss, based on other works on the historiography of the Dictatorship, the reason for this increase in production. Finally, as a second objective, we seek to centralize in a single location the large mass of work measured by specialized historiography, thus, new researchers on the subject, in an easier way, to find in our work most of the studies on the various armed associations. From that, we believe, to contact with the diverse studies on a given organization and/or to locate gaps in the bibliographic production
