SUMMARY:

This research refers to a historical narrative dispute: the discourse on the civil-military dictatorship in Brazil. On one side, the release of the book Brazil: Never Again, in 1985, which denounces human rights violations during the dictatorship, and, in response, the Orvil Project, led by the Army Information Center (CIE), with the intention of presenting the military's version of history. The Orvil was not authorized for publication but continued to circulate within the Armed Forces in various forms of narrative. In 2021, the Monthly Periodic Reports (RPMs), informative documents prepared by the CIE at least from 1989 to 1991, were released, perpetuating the Orvil discourse as a policy within the Army's information system for the indoctrination of military personnel. We refer to this as the Orvilian discourse and question: what is the Army's discourse on memory, truth, and justice of the civil-military dictatorship? For that, we start from the hypothesis that there is an Orvilian discourse on memory, truth, and justice within the Brazilian Army that obstructs transitional justice. A discourse analysis is proposed, according to Orlandi (2000), of the Monthly Periodic Reports, which can provide a temporal delimitation that represents the process of democratization in a period after the promulgation of the Federal Constitution of 1988. Thus, we coded the texts present in the Reports using categorical content analysis, developed through a literature review on the political thought of the military, which demonstrates the centrality of the National Security Doctrine as its foundation. It was possible to understand that the discourse of the RPMs carries the fundamental argumentative elements of the Orvil, and therefore, it was characterized as an Orvilian discourse on memory, truth, and justice. As these are the pillars of transitional justice, a discourse intersected with the civil-military dictatorship, which presents a narrative that reverses heroes and villains, creates enemies, becomes an obstacle to its realization. The task of transitional justice, therefore, is to work on the political uses of the past in the present to take a position on the memory to be constructed.
