SUMMARY:

The object of study of this thesis are the representations and discourses about bodies produced during the military dictatorship in Brazil, more specifically in the years of AI-5 (1968-1979). To historicize them, we analyzed documents originating from censorship and repression bodies (mainly those originating from the DCDP: Public Entertainment Censorship Division), letters from ordinary citizens addressed to the government, memoir records, magazine articles and even bibliographical production about the researched time frame. Documentary analysis that ends up supporting our questioning about the context of enunciations and silencing that ended up building imagetic-discursive stereotypes, truths and naturalizations about the bodies in that context. The problem highlighted in this thesis enabled us to understand the body as a privileged locus for the construction of a fertile historicization of the production of speeches and symbolic elements that supported the relationship between macrosocial and micropolitical issues relating to the period of validity of the military dictatorship in Brazil. This process of historicizing the body made it possible to give visibility to the dynamics of power and circulation of knowledge that substantiated the discourses and representations present in the opinions of censorship and repression bodies that radically promoted the “defense of morals and good customs”. The criminalization and stigmatization of certain bodies that are “undesirable”, “deviant” and “immoral” in opinions, revealed the presence of a desire for an authoritarian and sanitary pedagogy in relation to bodies, showing that the dictatorial regime was not sustained or imposed only on the basis of military and repressive apparatus. In this challenging process of historicization, recognition of the political and symbolic dimension of the use of torture is present, pointing to it as a deliberate desire to attack and correct rebel bodies and exaltation of extreme punitive power. Included in this process of historicization are the relationship between the 'revolutionary morality' of the left in this context with the bodies and the resistance of artists in general in the face of the violent process of surveillance, censorship and repression of their productions in times when Institutional Act nº5 was in force. .
