Summary: The article deals with the aporias implied in the memory of the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship of 1964-1985. It analyzes the difference between the initial concept implicit in the claims for amnesty on the part of the opposition and, on the other hand, the 1979 amnesty, imposed by the agents of the dictatorship. This amnesty has implied, until today, impunity for crimes committed by state terrorism. The text presents the existing need in the work of memory after exceptional regimes to bring the truth to light as well as to carry out a "duty of justice". Only through this process can society try to build democracy and the rule of law. The obliteration of memory and the impediment of the work of justice lead society to remain trapped in its past and to repeat the same violent structure. The text also analyzes the verses of the song "Angélica" by Chico Buarque as a way of working with the traumatic memory of the dictatorship.

Ele analisa a diferença entre o conceito inicial implícito nas reivindicações pela anistia por parte da oposição e, por outro lado, a anistia de 1979, imposta pelos agentes da ditadura. Esta anistia implicou até hoje a impunidade dos crimes praticados pelo terrorismo de Estado. O texto apresenta a necessidade existente no trabalho da memória após regimes de exceção de se trazer a verdade à tona assim como de se levar adiante um "dever de justiça". Apenas por este processo a sociedade pode tentar construir uma democracia e um Estado de Direito. A obliteração da memória e o impedimento do trabalho da justiça levam a sociedade a permanecer presa ao seu passado e a repetir a mesma estrutura violenta. O texto ainda analisa os versos da música "Angélica" de Chico Buarque como uma modalidade de trabalho da memória traumática da ditadura.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2007-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/7398010.5902/1679849X73980Literatura e Autoritarismo; n. 9 (2007): Literatura e Autoritarismo: Memórias da repressão1679-849Xreponame:Literatura e Autoritarismoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMporhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/73980/51380Copyright (c) 2007 Literatura e Autoritarismoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Márcio Seligmann2023-07-18T12:19:52Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/73980Revistahttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/index.php/LA/PUBhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/index.php/LA/oaigla@mail.ufsm.br||jlourique@pq.cnpq.br1679-849X1679-849Xopendoar:2023-07-18T12:19:52Literatura e Autoritarismo - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false
