Abstract
This article analyzes the current context of the persecution of Paulo Freire's work and thought through a critical reading of “A visita do inspetor-geral”, a short story from Você vai voltar pra mim e outros contos, Bernardo Kucinski (2014), with focus on the repetition of censorship and violence strategies against certain political and ideological biases in the recent history of Brazil. To support the discussion, at the theoretical level, a bibliographic survey of the authors Paul Ricoeur (2007) and Jeanne Marie Gagnebin (2006) on memory was carried out, by Márcio Seligmann-Silva (2003/2005) and Jaime Ginzburg (2011) on testimonial literature, and Bruno Botelho Costa (2016), Carlos Rodrigues Brandão (2006) and Moacir Gadotti (1996), among others, who approach the work of Paulo Freire. In this way, it was observed that Kucinski's narrative acts as a testament to the authoritarianism of the dictatorship, so that his book becomes a document of memory against the institutional paths that operate the silencing and manipulation of the past.
