(Des)memória e catástrofe: considerações sobre a literatura pós-golpe de 1964 by Ettore Finazzi-Agrò

“…In this context, the stories – told by many authors and some of the survivors of repression – seem to play an important role in supplying the deficiencies of the History, in order to show, effectively even if through fiction, the nefas that characterized in particular torture and murder of opponents.

‘Viral’ Hunts? A Cultural Darwinian Analysis of Witch Persecutions by Hofhuis Steije, Boudry Maarten

“…With hindsight, we can see that the concept contains many elements that appear to be intelligently designed to ensure the continuation of witch persecutions, such as the witches’ sabbat, the diabolical pact, nightly flight, and torture as a means of interrogation.
