Abstract

DOPS-SP (Departamento de Ordem Política e Social do Estado de São Paulo, the São Paulo State political police) was founded in 1924 in order to organize information about the suspects surveillance that Brazilian government regarded as political and/or social troublemakers. Under this category were mostly comunistas, socialists and anarchists. However, far beyond this more known sphere of enemies, DOPS recorded in their files the activities of a wide spectrum of society. Among these were partisans or suspects of the Brazilian Integralist movement. These were blacklisted mainly during Vargas Estado Novo period, but also later. Institutionally, the Integralists, after the Ação Integralista Brasileira (AIB) period between 1932 and 1937, have been repressed and investigated during Estado Novo. After dictatorships fall, they organized the Peoples Representation Party (PRP), that continued until 1965, when many of its members joined the National Renewal Alliance (ARENA), the military regime mainstay. All this history is portrayed in the DOPS-organized « Dossiês » series folders, whose limits-dates are 1938 and 1981. To analyze how the Integralists were seen and investigated by DOPS-SP over four decades, as well as the Integralist trajectory during this period are among my goals for this work. (AU)
