Memórias da ditadura civil-militar na cidade de Santarém-Pa (1964 – 1985)

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the civil-military dictatorship in the city of Santarém-PA, through the memories of the people who participated in the events in that context. In order to respond to the problematic approach and to attend to the thematic and contextualisation of the process that involved the social impact caused by the civil-military dictatorship in SantarémPA, we conducted a dialogue with historiography, observing the idea of Michel de Certeau (1982) to discuss the authors: Lucila de Almeida Neves Delgado (2010), Caio Navarro de Toledo (2004), Marcos Napolitano (2014), Carlos Fico (2017), Jorge Ferreira and Angela de Castro Gomes (2014) and other scholars who help us understand the theme. In order to arrive at the object of the work, we developed a field study, through interviews with residents of Santarém who experienced that time. The method that guided the research, as well as the reports ofthe interviewees, was the methodology oforal history, as proposed by Verena Alberti (2013). We work with the concepts ofmemory, based on Júlio Pimentel Pinto (1998); Maria Aparecida Aquino (2014) and Michael Pollack (1992), who made it possible to understand the complexity of memory as an object of study ofhistory.
