As representações da violência nos episódios estudantis de 1968

Abstract

he present article discusses the principle events that involved the Student Movement during 1968 in Brazil, creating a network that brings together its interlocutors – the government, the press, the population – in a tumultuous “dialogue.” It is divided into four fundamental moments: the death of Edson Luís (03/28/68) as the starting point for the shift of the student movement toward confrontation; bloody Friday (on 06/21/68) and the march of the 100,000 (06/28/68); the war of Maria Anônia (on 10/02/68); and the 30th Congress of the UNE, which begins on 10/11/68. The unifying theme in the analysis of these episodes are the diverse representations of violence that emerge.
