Abstract

This work is part of the theme of neo-documentary studies and aims to analyze the materiality of the Final Report of the State Truth Commission “Paulo Barbosa de Araújo” in Sergipe. Assuming that the information in the Report has a public and social character, the following research question was formulated: in terms of the neodocumentary studies proposed by Bernd Frohmann, how can the document Final Report of the State Truth Commission “Paulo Barbosa de Araújo” be characterized? The aim is, in general terms, to analyze the document Final Report of the State Truth Commission “Paulo Barbosa de Araújo” from the perspective of neo-documentary studies. More specifically, the aim is to: a) historically summarize the intricacies of Brazilian politics in the period 1946-1988 in Brazil and in Sergipe; b) present the State Truth Commission “Paulo Barbosa de Araújo”, identifying the documents listed from its Final Report; c) examine the materiality of the Report of the State Truth Commission “Paulo Barbosa de Araújo”. The research was conducted using a qualitative, exploratory and documentary methodology, using the ontological-documentary method. As a result, it was identified that the Final Report of the State Truth Commission “Paulo Barbosa de Araújo” constitutes an institutional document with considerable sociopolitical impact that will allow a better understanding of the set of documents prospected and produced by the Commission, having, for neodocumentary studies, a significant importance, due to the weight and strength of its materiality in its circulation in the social, political and academic spheres.
