Center for Research on Politics of Memory

The Center for Research on Politics of Memory – NUPPOME was structured, in fact, from the second half of 2018, although its creation can be understood as a consequence of the registration of the coordinator’s first research projects in the Directory of Research Groups from the CNPq, in May 2017. From an institutional perspective, NUPPOME is linked to the Institute of Philosophy, Sociology and Politics of the Federal University of Pelotas (IFISP – UFPEL). In addition to the coordinator and the UFPEL degree students in Social Sciences, researchers from other Brazilian and foreign institutions are incorporated into their team. NUPPOME’s main objective is to carry out research and projects promoting debate and reflection on the politics of memory that have been and are being created and implemented in countries that, like Brazil and its neighbors in the Southern Cone, have experienced authoritarian experiences such as National Security dictatorships in the context of the Cold War.
