Abstract:
This article analyzes the memory disputes present in the celebrations and in the places of memory of the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) during the period of the civil-military dictatorship and how the University itself deals with these memories. The centenary history of UFRJ has a striking feature, since its origin on September 7, 1920, the fragmentation of its units and, consequently, of its collections, which are dispersed on its various campuses. The marks of these disputed memories about the past and about university life during the dictatorship are present in the daily life of the academic community and society, especially because many of the subjects who were in the management of the institution also held prominent positions in the federal administration.
