Resumo: The article discousses the popular values and beliefs concerning public bureaucracy that have emerged from the dialogue between Brazilian citizens and the National De-Bureaucratization Program. In a sample of letters addressed by individuals to that program between 1980 and 1982, the author identifies a negative perception of public bureaucracy, which is even portrayed as an 'absolute evil'. This stands in sharp contrast to the perception of political authority ( wich the letter-writers equate with the uppermost echelons of the Executive branch) as 'good and benevolent' and responsible for distributing favors to citizens. The other side of the dialogue is explored through public speeches and statements made by the program's top authority. The analysis suggests that these public declarations tend to reinforce popular values perceptions concerning bureaucracy and politics. In concluding, the author briefly discusses the conservative implications of this dialogue as well as its emancipatory potential.

A partir de uma amostra de cartas endereçadas por indivíduos a esse programa entre 1980 e 1982, a autora constata uma percepção negativa da burocracia pública, que chega a ser representada como absolutamente maléfica. Essa imagem contrasta com a percepção da autoridade política (que os autores das cartas identificam como os escalões mais elevados do poder executivo), vista como "boa e benevolente" e responsável pela distribuição de "favores" entre os cidadãos. O interlocutor do artigo é a principal autoridade do Programa Nacional de Desburocratização, cujos discursos e declarações são analisados. A análise tende a confirmar os modelos cognitivos expressos pelos correspondentes a respeito da burocracia e da política. Na conclusão, a autora discute brevemente os efeitos conservadores deste diálogo, bem como, seu potencial emancipador.Editora FGV1990-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/2306Revista Estudos Históricos; Vol. 3 No. 6 (1990): Culture and People; 161-179Revista Estudos Históricos; v. 3 n. 6 (1990): Cultura e Povo; 161-1792178-14940103-2186reponame:Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro)instname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/2306/1445Reis, Elisa Maria Pereirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-08-17T18:55:44Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/2306Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rehONGhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/oai||biblioteca.digital@fgv.br||eh@fgv.br2178-14940103-2186opendoar:2024-03-06T13:01:47.325623Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro) - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
