Regime Militar: A experiência político-cultural do Brasil nos anos de chumbo

Abstract

This paper, a bibliography analysis, revisits the so-called “Anos de Chumbo” of brazilian political and cultural reality, seeking reasons from the Getúlio Vargas era for the sad events that culminated in 1964’ military coup. Each chapter was divided into a cultural and political part, as these two nuances had enormous importance in the development of events. The military presence in the Brazilian government dates back to the Proclamation of the Republic, but it was from the government of Getúlio Vargas that it was definitively introduced into our political reality. Censorship, repression, torture, exile, and authoritarianism were factors that permeated the time, however, there was also economic advancement, modernization, international relations, education, and culture exemplified in the creativity of brazilian artists to escape censorship, a milestone that reverberates to this day. The topic will always be controversial, but it is up to History with its documentary verve - and multiple interpretations of the facts - to understand the development of events and have an opinion on them. It is a fact that the military dictatorship left deep marks on the Brazilian people, however, today we live in a democracy without torture, exile and violence motivated by political or ideological issues.
