The focus of the work is the dynamics of the conflict for the site of memory in the context of social struggles carried out by ex-political prisoners and relatives of the dead and disappeared of the military dictatorship (1964-1985). The confrontation between the projects "Espaço Cultural Memória e Direitos Humanos” (Memory and Human Rights Cultural Space) and “Museu da Polícia Civil" (Museum of Civil Police) reveals what is at stake in symbolic, ideological and pedagogical terms. It is presented and problematized the place occupied by the political police in the structure of the repressive apparatus of the dictatorship, as well as by the Civil Police in the public security of democracy situation in Brazil.
Abstract FR:
Ce travail se penche sur le conflit de mémoires, les usages et les projets autour de l’immeuble de l’ancien Departamento de Ordem Política e Social (DOPS), dans le cadre du processus de ce qu’on appelle la justice transitionnelle au Brésil. Le centre de l’étude est la dynamique de la dispute pour ce lieu de mémoire, dans le contexte des luttes sociales menées par des ex-prisonniers politiques et des parents des morts et des disparus de la dictature militaire (1964-1985). La confrontation entre les projets “Espaço Cultural Memória e Direitos Humanos” et “Museu da Polícia Civil” en révèle les enjeux symboliques, idéologiques et pédagogiques. En outre, le travail expose et questionne les fonctions imparties à la police politique dans la structure de l’appareil répressif de la dictature, et à la police civile dans la sécurité publique en situation démocratique au Brésil.
