Resumo: Over the past decades, Brazilian historiography has devoted increasingly greater attention to the study of everyday life, appreciating dimensions and aspects that have been neglected by research influenced by structuralist approaches. Research on authoritarian regimes in Brazil, particularly, have been directly benefited from this process of historiographical renovation, seeking more complex ways of analyzing the state’s relationship with civil society, devoting special attention to the “ordinary” man and women and to social groups that did not directly take part in political struggles. In dialogue with the Brazilian historiography dedicated to this research agenda, this articles aims to analyze the work of Belarusian writer Svetlana Aleksiévitch in order to reflect about the everyday life of “ordinary” men and women during the years of authoritarian experience of Soviet Union. Based on thousands of testimonies, Aleksiévitch’s books, forming what the author herself termed “Red Encyclopedia”, contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between the “big” events that took place in USSR in the twentieth century driven by the socialist “Big Utopia” and the everyday life of Homo Sovieticus.

Las investigaciones sobre los regímenes autoritarios en Brasil, en particular, se han beneficiado directamente de este proceso de renovación historiográfica, tratando de analizar de manera más compleja las relaciones entre el Estado y la sociedad civil, con especial atención a los hombres y las mujeres “comunes” y aquellos grupos sociales que no participaron directamente de los enfrentamientos políticos. En diálogo con la historiografía brasileña dedicada a esa agenda investigativa, este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la obra de la escritora bielorrusa Svetlana Aleksiévitch con el fin de reflexionar sobre la vida cotidiana de hombres y mujeres “comunes” durante los años de la experiencia autoritaria de la Unión Soviética. A partir de la movilización de miles de testimonios, los libros de Aleksiévitch, que forman lo que ella llamó de la “Enciclopedia Roja”, contribuyen a una mejor comprensión de la relación entre los “grandes” eventos que tuvieron lugar en la URSS impulsados por la “Gran Utopía” socialista en el siglo XX y la vida cotidiana del Homo Sovieticus.Ao longo das últimas décadas, a historiografia brasileira tem dedicado cada vez mais atenção ao estudo da vida cotidiana, valorizando dimensões e aspectos que foram negligenciados pelas pesquisas influenciadas por abordagens estruturalistas. As pesquisas sobre os regimes autoritários no Brasil, particularmente, têm se beneficiado diretamente deste processo de renovação historiográfica, buscando analisar de forma mais complexa as relações entre Estado e sociedade civil, dedicando atenção especial aos homens e mulheres “comuns” e àqueles segmentos sociais que não participaram diretamente dos embates políticos. Em diálogo com a historiografia brasileira dedicada a essa agenda de pesquisa, o presente artigo objetiva analisar a obra da escritora bielorrussa Svetlana Aleksiévitch no sentido de refletir sobre o cotidiano de homens e mulheres “comuns” durante os anos da experiência autoritária da União Soviética. A partir da mobilização de milhares de testemunhos, os livros de Aleksiévitch, que formam o que ela chamou de “Enciclopédia Vermelha”, contribuem para uma melhor compreensão da relação entre os “grandes” acontecimentos que tiveram curso na URSS impulsionados pela “Grande Utopia” socialista no século XX e o cotidiano do Homo Sovieticus.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2017-06-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/iberoamericana/article/view/2472110.15448/1980-864X.2017.2.24721Estudos Ibero-Americanos; Vol. 43 No. 2 (2017): Dossier - History, everyday life and social memory - the common life under dictatorships in the 20th century; 250-263Estudos Ibero-Americanos; Vol. 43 Núm. 2 (2017): Dossiê - Historia, vida cotidiano y memoria social - la vida común bajo las dictaduras en el siglo XX; 250-263Estudos Ibero-Americanos; v. 43 n. 2 (2017): Dossiê - História, cotidiano e memória social – a vida comum sob as ditaduras no século XX; 250-2631980-864X0101-406410.15448/1980-864X.2017.2reponame:Estudos Ibero-Americanosinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/iberoamericana/article/view/24721/15620Copyright (c) 2017 Fernando Perlattohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPerlatto, Fernando2017-11-29T19:02:36Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/24721Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/iberoamericanaPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/iberoamericana/oaieditora.periodicos@pucrs.br||eia@pucrs.br1980-864X0101-4064opendoar:2017-11-29T19:02:36Estudos Ibero-Americanos - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
