COSTA, Regis Clemente da  and  CAMPOS, Névio de. From the Dreyfus case intellectual to the organic intellectual: a model of analysis of Vieira Netto’s trajectory (1945-1973). Educ. Rev. [online]. 2021, vol.37, e66504.  Epub Oct 26, 2021. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.66504.

This paper aims at understanding some aspects of José Rodrigues Vieira Netto’s trajectory from the concept of intellectual originated in the Dreyfus Case and Gramsci’s notion of an organic intellectual. Apart from the intellectual concept, it is also based on sources filed by the Delegacia de Ordem Política e Social (DOPS) [Political and Social Order Office], Projeto Brasil: Nunca Mais Digital [Brazil Digital Project: Never Again], interview, publication by the Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil, seccional Paraná (OAB/PR), [Brazilian BAR - section Paraná], and memory books. The sources listed and the concept of organic intellectual shed light on the fact that Vieira Netto’s condition is linked to the field of intellectuality and his insertion in the society since he was a professor, lawyer, prosecutor, member of the Liberal Alliance, president of OAB/PR, activist in PCB (Brazilian Communist Party), was elected State Deputy in Paraná and acted in social movements. The echoes of his activism can be noticed in the many times he was made prisoner, his disqualification as State Deputy, persecutions, torture sessions, lawsuits, military police investigation, and compulsory retirement from the Federal University of Paraná. Despite these facts, even in adverse political and ideological contexts, he kept his activism, defending his ideas and acting as an organic intellectual in defence of a communist society and formative project in Paraná.

Keywords : Intellectual; Organic intellectual; Vieira Netto; Communist Society Project in Paraná.
