This doctoral research intends to contribute to the work of comprehension of violence in the civil-military dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1985) and focuses on the living conditions of the working class during those times. In order to obtain information, I looked for evidence of the working class in narratives published in this epoch. I primarily considered texts which portrayed this period, while paying special attention to narrative forms which were used to describe the way of living of the workers during the civil-military dictatorship. I worked with narratives and testimonies published by the writers Murilo Carvalho, Roniwalter Jatobá and Antônio Possidônio Sampaio. In my understanding did the three authors have used testimonial literature to accomplish their own work. Testimony literature emerges from the literary or extra-literary need to find a means of narrating violence. These written pieces that include some traces of testimony are situated in between literature, narrative, history and politics and establish hereby specific bonds between narrative and reality. The choice of this topic was based on the articulation of issues between the field of Brazilian literature, the area of social sciences which is focused on the working class and the need for understanding what the living conditions of the working class were like during the civil-military dictatorship. In t his sense, the research is based on the following demand which exists nowadays in our society: the need of raising awareness of around the repression and the crimes committed against the working class, for which the Brazilian state and civil agents involved in it are responsible
