Abstract
This paper aims to analyze the narratives about the censorship of public diversions materialized in the performance of Rogério Nunes, who served as head of the Public Diversity Censorship Division (DCDP) between 1971 and 1979, during the military dictatorship in Brazil. Based on the notion of ‘mentalité’ expressed by Vovelle (1991), empirical research was carried out on collections of widely circulated newspapers published in the period, in order to identify the treatment given to the censor and the practice of censorship as well as to perceive ideological marks that reflect moral values prevailing at the time.
