Avanços e limites da Comissão Milton Santos de Memória e Verdade da UFBA: análise arquivística

Abstract

The Brazilian civil-military dictatorship (1964- 1985) established a state of exception in Brazil. During this period, violations of human rights and the curtailment of individual freedoms were institutionalized in the country. In the university context, a space of traditional political effervescence, the authoritarian state acted to suppress and silence the dissonant voices of the new government. Even before the end of the dictatorship, a series of actions began to be carried out with the purpose of consolidating transitional justice in Brazil - as in the case of the creation of Truth Commissions. The aim of this article is to present the advances and limits of the Milton Santos Commission of Memory and Truth (CMSMV), Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), as well as to produce an archival analysis in order to understand the contribution that archivology gave to the works of the collegiate. Regarding methodological procedures, this research, with descriptive and qualitative approaches, is characterized as a case study, using bibliographical research as a data collection procedure. It is concluded that, despite the limitations imposed to the said commission, it was possible to perceive - from an archival analysis - the contribution of the archivology in the documentary and

informational findings on the subject on screen, through selected documentation.
