FROM (RE)EXISTENCE AND PLACE OF MEMORY IN BEFORE THE PAST, THE SILENCE THAT COMES FROM ARAGUAIA.

Abstract

The work of remembering and updating the recent past of Brazilian political history, through testimonial literature, allows us to confront the violations of human rights to which dissident political prisoners of the dictatorial government of Brazil from 1964 - 1985 were subjected. repressive actions by the Brazilian army, with the aim of eliminating and leaving no traces of opponents of the military government, torture, deaths and missing persons without whereabouts are part of this dark and irreparable chapter. In this way, in Antes do tarde, the silence that comes from Araguaia (2012), we analyze absence as an updater of memory and memorial ritualization when activated by affectivity. The theoretical supports used in this article are studies on memory, by Aleida Assmann (2011); assumptions about history and memory, by Pierre Nora (1993); and Jeanne Marie Gagnebin's approaches to remembrance (2014).
