Descrição
Resumo:This article aims at analyzing issues of the recent debate about the military dictatorship in Brazil, with emphasis on the control and social repression strategies perpetrated by a wide and intricate political police network with its information and repression institutions, reinforced by juridical-political and cultural devices of justification, legitimation and / or mystification of those practices. From this perspective, the text undertakes a critical reflection on the hybrid nature of this dictatorial experience, its information and repression systems, controls over the Judiciary Power and the imposition of censure as mechanisms of political and moral control.
