Guidelines and contradictions of the National Security Doctrine exposed in the Paraná National Information Service Documental Archive (1964-85)

Abstract

The following paper aims to analyze the unpublished sources of the Paraná National Information Service Documental Archive during the period of Brazilian military dictatorship, available at NDPH-UEL. The sources were approached by the lukascian’s matrix perspective of historical-dialectical materialism, focusing on the relations between material conditions of concrete reality and the philosophical-ideological perspectives configuration. Firstly, the focus is on investigating the internal guidelines of performance by the agents who composed the information community. Then, a list is made of the intrinsic contradictions in the process of persecuting actions to combat subversion, pointing the information community connivance with sectors of civil society tending to fascism. The method of rationalization based on doctrinal principles which marked the SNI in Paraná is evidenced.
