History, memory and education: military dictatorship and far-right on the internet

Abstract

In this article, we present the partial results of the research we are developing on the themes and approaches listed in materials produced by the company Brasil Paralelo on education and on the 1964 coup and the military dictatorship.  We understand the company's productions as representative of the political-ideological actions of the far-right in the country, emphasizing the growing projection of its products for the formation and dissemination of ultraliberal and conservative values ​​in the virtual environment. In this text, we focus on situating the first discussions we are carrying out about the relationships between education and the memory and history of the military dictatorship in Brasil Paralelo productions, taking as its main theoretical contribution the field of social memory studies. We approach the debate about how these  productions appropriate materials and methods typical of the so-called public history to produce narratives that legitimize the 1964 coup and the military dictatorship based mainly on the opposition to critical historiography and school education.
