Abstract

O artigo apresenta uma análise dos 'usos políticos do passado' feitos pelos militantes do movimento estudantil na década de 1970 no intuito de reforçar a identidade associativa e legitimar a resistência contra a ditadura militar. A instrumentalização do passado se fez a partir da ênfase no martírio de estudantes vítimas da repressão: a morte de Alexandre Vannucchi Leme (aluno da Geologia da USP e militante da ALN) pelos agentes do Exército em 1973, e o 'desaparecimento' de Honestino Guimarães (último presidente da UNE na clandestinidade). Nesse culto às vítimas da ditadura, também se relembra a morte do estudante secundarista Edson Luís, baleado por policiais durante uma manifestação de rua, em 1968.

Summary

Introduction

Among the striking moments of the student movement’s (SM) resistance to the military regime during the 1970s certain actions can be highlighted which served as different ‘orders of time’ for the carrying out of proposals of symbolic resistance. A part of my doctoral dissertation on the resistance of the SM to the military regime during the 1970s, I highlight how the death of students was politically instrumentalized by representatives of the SM.
