Entre terra e mar: história e política na narrativa oficial das forças armadas brasileiras – os casos do Exército e da Marinha
Abstract
This research consists of an analysis of Army and Navy history development
presented on the official history publications História do Exército Brasleiro and História
Naval Brasileira, aiming at the comprehension on how public and private aspects of those two
forces intercrossed for the construction of a historical speech compatible with both, the
maintenance of their self-image and the reality of their intersection on nation history. By
reproducing and sustaining a military ethos, this speech materializes one of the resources that
can be used to understand important aspects of the military identity
