Um trem no caminho da ditadura militar : narrativas ressignificadas a partir dos depoimentos para a Comissão Municipal da Verdade de Juiz de Fora

Abstract

The work has as main objective the understanding of the re-signification of narratives about the coup of 1964 during a military dictatorship (1964-1985) that came to light in the testimony of the Juiz de Fora Truth Commission with emphasis on resistance from Railway Workers Union of the Iron Station of Leopoldina. It was tried to contextualize the important action of the syndicalists during the regime based on the story of Edison Nogueira da Silva who received an order to accomplish the first attempts of resistance to the military coup and to cross the train in front of the troops that Mourão took from Juiz de Fora to Rio de Janeiro. This fact remained silent until the installation of the Commission in the city of Juiz de Fora and brings another possibility to understand how that period was. Seeking to open a discussion, it was attempted to analyze the context of the dictatorship using Juiz de Fora, where the coup broke, as a parameter. The articulations between the military, society and the press. It will be analyzed the most important periodical of the city at that time, the Diário Mercantil, reflecting with other important newspapers in the country in order to detect the role of the press in the moment of repression. A theoretical framework was sought in the main authors of testimony, memory, silence and oral history to contribute to the reflection on the memories that come back after five decades loaded with other meanings. For an analysis of the deposition of Edson Nogueira da Silva, categories were created, according to Luiz Gonzaga Motta, who told a narrative 50 years after the military coup.
