MILITARY DICTATORSHIP (1964-1985): The Student Movement and the Alternative Communication in the Paraense Amazon

Abstract

The present article analyses the paraense student movement during the military regime from 1964 to 1985, as well as its alternative press, an important channel of communication through which strategic information of mobilizations and actions of the category, contrary to the new established order, circulated. The performance of two newspapers elaborated by the Federai University of Pará (UFPA) students are highlighted: O Papagaio (1967) and Nanico (1979). The
university students found, in this press, a way of making the persecutions suffered in the Guamá campus, involving students and professors considered subversive, known. In the pages of this press there was also the denial of the education bank conception (FREIRE, 2011) which deformed the educational creativity. This article is part of the "Mídias Alternativas na Amazônia" project that is mapping small forms of counter hegemonic communication.
