Illustrazione di Alexia Belviso.Era li, chiusa in un armadio gia da qualche anno e mancava di un ultima descrizione che la rendesse una storia compiuta, una storia narrata non per i fatti che la compongono, ma le riflessioni di cui ora, a meta del percorso di vita, afferro il senso che chiude lenigma di questo puzzle: quello di una folle rincorsa alla ricerca del se.

Per lassenza dellanziana donna ad aprirgli e la collaboratrice domestica, che quasi travolge per la fretta di arrivare in bagno. Nella corsa, si prepara prima di spalancarne la porta.Lincontro inaspettato con la cognata mentre e in doccia, e il primo "Click" di una profonda crisi interiore. Lei, Federica, ospite della mamma durante una lunga assenza del fratello Giovanni, e in procinto di traslocare per una nuova sistemazione

Este livro tem como principal finalidade discutir como os grupos que estiveram a frente do Golpe de 1964 e da posterior ditadura civil-militar instaurada elaboraram um discurso de combate a corrupço e a subverso politica como forma de legitimar a sua intervenço e permanencia no poder por 21 anos no Brasil. Nesse sentido, a politica de "combate" a corrupço e a subverso se deu oficialmente por meio da criaço de duas Comisses Gerais de Investigaço (CGI), a primeira constituida em 1964 e a segunda em 1968. Tais orgos tinham a funço de investigar e punir supostos corruptos e subversivos. Ha indicios, porem, de que essas comisses eram seletivas, devido a interferencias politicas no exercicio de suas atribuiçes. Em torno dessa analise, de forma recortada, abordaremos o caso de Miracema, em que o ex-prefeito da cidade foi denunciado e processado pela CGI, ao nosso ver, sobretudo por motivaçes politicas. Nessa perspectiva, discutiremos como a ideia que associa a instituiço militar a moralidade, consolidada a partir do golpe, permanece presente em nossa sociedade, por meio da disputa de projetos de memoria sobre o periodo em discusso.
