OLIVEIRA, Marcus Aurelio Taborda de. “Eu desisto?” Paredes vivas na cidade: conflitos sociais em cartazes produzidos ao longo da década de 1980, no Brasil. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2014, n.51, pp.175-190. ISSN 0104-4060.

This article intends to analyze some posters produced which intended to mobilize Brazilian society in favour of repressed demands during the dictatorial period which was not a detail in the large tradition of violence. Since the reorganization of the civil society in the 80s, called the lost decade, different collective agents mobilized themselves to give visibility to their desires. Privileging the image in posters, the propaganda of these groups and, in some cases, even the State image, they tried to highlight the beginning of a new era, in which past and new claims could be finally contemplated, if people organized themselves for this end. Beyond a written and direct political pamphlet, the posters represented in History a possibility to catch the observer through an image, color, and the trace that, sometimes combined with the text, would develop one’s sensibility for a specific problem. A lot of the demands that composed the political plans in the end of the Brazilian dictatorship, and in the first years of the re-democratization until today, almost 40 years later, they are still objects of popular mobilization. This fact attests how much, independently of the horror promoted by civil-military dictatorship in Brazil between 1964 and 1985, elites, government and parts of the Brazilian population are still reluctant to solve important and basic questions, such as the land reform, violence against minorities, the perverse income concentration, corporatism, corruption, among many others. So, through a dialogue between text and image, past and present, this work asks the Grauna`s question, by Henfil: should we have any hope?
