Abstract

MANSAN, Jaime Valim. The binomial ‘Security and Development’: propaganda, social control and higher education during military dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1988). Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.21, e144.  Epub Sep 13, 2022. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v21-2022-144.

The binomial ‘security and development’, mainly through the influence of the Escola Superior de Guerra (‘National War College’), was one of the ideological foundations of the dictatorship established in Brazil by the 1964 coup d’état. The spread of that idea occurred, among other means, through propaganda, one of the main elements of the system of social control formed after the overthrow of President Goulart. Higher education had strategic importance for the group in power in those years. The analysis of the functions fulfilled by that binomial in processes of propaganda focused on higher education provides a better understanding of the functioning of that mode of social control and of the ideological directives of that authoritarian regime.

Keywords : Propaganda; Social control; Higher education.
