As inúmeras faces da violência ditatorial na América latina nos anos 1960 e 1970

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the institutionalized violence in Latin America in the 1960s and 1970s, by reference to cases of Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile and Argentina, which require an analytic treatment simultaneously individualized and articulated, in which historical analogies prove to be useful, not only to identify similarities, but, likewise, place the specificities of autocratic experiences in question; it is adopted, here, a methodological approach which is essentially based on the literature review that directly or indirectly leans to the historical analysis of this statement period of dictatorial powers and open military coercion, considering the journalistic reports, historical studies and political and sociological assessments on the theme; from the bibliographic study, and in light of Marxist character theoretical interpretation, results an explicit and extended enunciation of the repressive and brutal character of militarism, at the time it confirms the need for a critical recovery of the "years of lead" - and its specific modalities of violence under the cover of National Security Doctrine (NSD) - of the Latin American territory.
