Memórias da repressão e da resistência: um olhar comparado entre Brasil e Argentina

Abstract

On the social need to publicize information regarding human rights violations and the management and dissemination process on memories of repression and resistance to military dictatorships in the context of the Southern Cone, this study aims to present partial results of an empirical research on two themes: archives of repression and resistance in Brazil and Argentina, and the transitional justice and the dissemination of information about the dead and disappeared in Brazil. For this, was undertaken a bibliographical research both to characterize the insertion of the themes related to memory in the social sciences and in the information science, as well as to understand the fundamental elements that permeate the concept of transitional justice. Was also carried out a case study in the National Archives, in the Brazilian context, and in the National Archives of Memory, on Argentina. There is a need for public and social policies that foster access to the information on human rights violations in the cited archives, and it is necessary to carry out scientific research in the field of archivology, library science and museology to enhance the organization, dissemination and management process of these informational stocks.
