| description | This article addresses the relationship between gender, generation and politics in the construction of the memory of the Brazilian military dictatorship (1964-1985). In order to do so, it takes two testimonies from Carmela Pezzuti (1926-2009), a civil servant from Minas Gerais, who began to be a member of the armed struggle together with her sons, Angelo and Murilo, in the 1960s. The research analyses different moments of inscription of her memories after the experiences of imprisonment and torture: a) in the first session of the Russell II Tribunal, held in Rome in the 1970s, during her exile in Italy; b) in the book “Companheira Carmela”, by Mauricio Paiva, published in the 1990s. If, in the first case, the symbolic protagonism of mothers was not expressed as an integral part of the political task itself, there is a change of emphasis in the second, after the debates that combined feminism and human rights in the fight for amnesty. |

Este artículo aborda la relación entre género, generación y política en la construcción de la memoria de la dictadura militar brasileña (1964-1985). Para ello, toma como hilo conductor dos testimonios de Carmela Pezzuti (1926-2009), funcionaria pública originaria de la provincia de Minas Gerais, que comenzó a militar en la lucha armada junto a sus hijos, Angelo y Murilo, en la década de 1960. La investigación analiza diferentes momentos de inscripción de sus memorias después de las experiencias de la prisión y de la tortura: a) en la primera sesión del Tribunal Russell II, realizado en Roma, en los años 1970, durante su exilio en Italia; b) en el libro “Compañera Carmela”, de Mauricio Paiva, publicado en los años 1990. Si, en el primer caso, el protagonismo simbólico de las madres no era expresado como parte integrante de la tarea política propiamente dicha, se verifica un cambio de acento en el segundo, ya después de los debates que conjugaron feminismo y derechos humanos en la lucha por la amnistía. Este artigo aborda a relação entre gênero, geração e política na construção da memória da ditadura militar brasileira (1964-1985). Para tanto, toma como fio condutor dois depoimentos de Carmela Pezzuti (1926-2009), funcionária pública da província de Minas Gerais, que começou a participar da luta armada com seus filhos, Ângelo e Murilo, na década de 1960. A pesquisa analisa diferentes momentos de inscrição de suas memórias após as experiências de prisão e tortura: a) na primeira sessão do Tribunal Russell II, realizada em Roma na década de 1970, durante seu exílio na Itália; b) no livro "Compañera Carmela", de Mauricio Paiva, publicado na década de 1990. Se, no primeiro caso, o protagonismo simbólico das mães não se expressava como parte integrante da própria tarefa política, no segundo, já após os debates que combinaram feminismo e direitos humanos na luta pela anistia, observa-se uma mudança de ênfase. 2023-08-31 2024-08-02T01:22:13Z 2024-08-02T01:22:13Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer reviewed article Artículo revisado por pares Artigo revisado por pares https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/antropologia/article/view/39563 10.31048/1852.4826.v16.n2.39563 https://suquia.ffyh.unc.edu.ar/handle/suquia/175115 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/antropologia/article/view/39563/42526 Derechos de autor 2023 Felipe Magaldi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 application/pdf Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
