The civil-military dictatorship that was held in Brazil from 1964 to 1985 in the 20th century, chose the educational sector as one of the priority targets of its intervention. In Higher Education Institutions, under the pretext of fighting Communism and left-wing groups, it carried out countless acts of authoritarian bias, including: free thinking repression, compulsory retirement, exile, purges, persecution of the student movement, enforced disappearances, and deaths. Although there is an educational historiography that deals with recording fragments of this reality, it is observed the pre-eminence of large-scale studies, about what happened in the great centers, in the headquarters of these institutions and regarding consecrated names of the Academy, leaving a gap on the small-scale history of education on the campuses far from great centers, and on members of the academic community who did not have their actions recorded by the official historiography. It is in this context that the present work is lodged, whose purpose is to reflect on the stories and memories of the superior public education in the university campuses, being limited, due to the institutional place of where it speaks (CERTEAU, 2011), to the interior part of the RN State known as Seridó (1973-1985), from the first experience of interiorization of higher education at UFRN, through the Advanced Nucleus of Caicó (NAC/UFRN), currently, Centro de Ensino Superior do Seridó (CERES/UFRN). The research that enabled the writing of this thesis is characterized as a qualitative research (CHIZZOTTI, 2006; LANKSHEAR; KNOBEL, 2008), based on documentary, oral and iconographic sources, built on the indicium paradigm (GINZBURG, 1989), and supported by the methodology of oral history (ALBERTI, 2003; MEIHY; HOLANDA, 2014; POLLAK, 1989). By proposing the rewriting of the NAC-CERES history in the period of the military regime (1973-1985), the present research expands the debate on the role of Dinarte de Medeiros Mariz in the creation of NAC/UFRN; it calls into question the proposition that this institution was a direct result of the CRUTAC/UFRN; it questions the narrative according to which Onofre Lopes was responsible for the internalization of higher education in the Seridó region; and it deepens the studies about the presence of the Security and Information Office (ASI/UFRN) in NAC-CERES. It contributes to the historiographic research by producing unpublished oral documentation, through interviews with NAC/CERES social agents (students, staff and professors), highlighting events that marked the creation of the Nucleus/Center (1973). It is, therefore, a retrospective work, because it recalls the official and prospective historiographic discourse, because it brings, in its context, the warning that dictatorships and their excesses should not be forgotten.
