The overall aim of my research is to map, in the recent democratic period, transformations in the modes of (non)recognition by the Brazilian State of the political violence produced by the military dictatorship. Particularly interesting in this process, I examine the structures that enabled and conditioned the insertion of the voice of the survivor’s in the country’s official history. I aim at showing how different institutional mechanisms of the Brazilian transition provided distinct degrees of participation, publication, and reliance on the testimony of victims of state violence in the construction of juridical and historical truth.
