Resumo: This article aims to analyze to what extent the Brazilian Academy of Letters (ABL) could have served as a legitimizing institution for the Brazilian military dictatorship. The analysis focuses on the ABL’s everyday life practices in order to recover the complexity and ambiguity of its relation with the regime established in 1964. Thus, we analyzed the visits received by the academics as well as the speeches announced on those occasions; the votes of condolence made by academics to the family members of personalities who had died; and the values that were exalted in the construction of the memory of those great men. The analysis has shown that the ABL contributed to legitimizing the regime through an intense sociability among “immortals” and representatives of the regime and the diffusion of shared values between them, specifically those of patriotism and public spirit.

Concentramos nuestro análisis en sus prácticas cotidianas con el fin de restituir la complejidad y la ambigüedad de sus relaciones con el régimen que se instauró en Brasil en 1964. Así, examinamos las visitas que los académicos recibían y los discursos hechos por los anfitriones y los invitados en estas ocasiones; los pésames dirigidos por los académicos a los familiares de personalidades que habían fallecido; y cuáles eran los valores enaltecidos en la construcción de una memoria de los grandes hombres. El análisis ha mostrado que la ABL participó en la legitimación del régimen instaurado en 1964 a través de una intensa sociabilidad entre los “inmortales” y los representantes del régimen y por la difusión de valores compartidos entre ellos, específicamente los de patriotismo y civismo.Este artigo pretende analisar em que medida a Academia Brasileira de Letras (ABL) serviu como instância de legitimação para a ditadura militar brasileira.

A análise mostrou que a ABL concorreu a legitimar o regime instaurado em 1964 através de uma intensa sociabilidade entre os “imortais” e os representantes do regime, assim como pela difusão de valores compartilhados entre eles, especificamente os de patriotismo e de civismo.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2017-06-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/iberoamericana/article/view/2512910.15448/1980-864X.2017.2.25129Estudos Ibero-Americanos; Vol. 43 No. 2 (2017): Dossier - History, everyday life and social memory - the common life under dictatorships in the 20th century; 317-332Estudos Ibero-Americanos; Vol. 43 Núm. 2 (2017): Dossiê - Historia, vida cotidiano y memoria social - la vida común bajo las dictaduras en el siglo XX; 317-332Estudos Ibero-Americanos; v. 43 n. 2 (2017): Dossiê - História, cotidiano e memória social – a vida comum sob as ditaduras no século XX; 317-3321980-864X0101-406410.15448/1980-864X.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/25129/15631Copyright (c) 2017 Diogo Cunhahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCunha, Diogo2017-11-29T19:02:36Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/25129Revistahttps://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
