This dissertation concerns the forty-one professor purge cases which happened at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), through 1964 and 1969, during the Civil-Military Dictatorship (1964-1985). It was aimed the analysis of the uses of this repressive measure regarding with its causes, the institutions in charged of its application and its ways of execution, taking it as part of a complex of repressive measures, applied during that period for a domination through coercion. It was taken as sources: documents from UFRGS and from other institutions (MEC, DSI/MEC, CISMEC, DOPS/RS and 3º Exército); interviews and testimonies; laws; Diário Oficial da União; newspapers from Porto Alegre and Pelotas; press and speeches published during that period. The methodological basis consisted in critical analysis of the sources, adopting the perspective of 'epistemological curiosity' (P. Freire). It was taken in observation the specificities of the sources, the subjects responsible for their production and the contexts of their production. In regard to the oral sources, it was adopted the use of ‘informers’ (P. Thompson) and thematic semi-structured interviews. The theoretical foundation was based in the Marxist tradition, placing emphasis on A. Gramsci. In all analysed cases, the purges were promoted with the intention of repressing individuals and groups taken by sectors of the political society and by some university sectors, as real or potential threats to the ruling block, because of various reasons, derived from at least one of the following factors: political-ideological profiles; politicalparty association with opposition parties and opposition political movements; and other actions (e. g. the protection of students and protests against the purge cases) supposed or really practiced inside or outside the institution.Taking this into consideration, it was observed that in absolutely none of the cases, the purges were promoted because of corruption or any illegal administrative behavior, but only because of political-ideological reasons. In regard to the institutions in charged of the application of the purge, it was concluded that, in the majority, they were external to the university and, only in specific cases, internal to the university. In regard to the ways the arbitrary retirement, it was observed in all cases the action of individuals and institutions internal and external to the university. However, in regard to the decision process about which individuals should be purged, it was identified three different types: 'internal', when it happened exclusively inside the university; 'external', when it happened in an external institution (no matter some sectors of UFRGS might have participated on the primary steps of ‘investigation’); and ‘indirect’, when the purged individual himself took the initiative to leave the institution, dismissing himself, exonerating himself or simply leaving his job position, because of embarrassments related to the dictatorial context. It was also possible to verify and analyze the actions of sectors of the university structure on the political-ideological control of the university professors, students and staff, including through the creation of divisions for this purpose (CEIS/UFRGS and ASI/UFRGS) and the establishment of associations with the Repressive System. It was verified the action of MEC on the direct political-ideological control and in the repression of individuals and groups inside the university, and also the relation between such Ministry and the Repressive System.In addition, it was also observed the creation (CISMEC) and re-activation/adaptation (DSI/MEC) of the security and information divisions inside the MEC structure, for the execution of repressive tasks and political-ideological investigation, improving the association between such Ministry and the Repressive System.
