A resistência do Movimento Estudantil

This work is a literature review (Acadêmica; Pádua, 2022) and aims to analyze the role of resistance of the university student movement during the Military Dictatorship period in Brazil. The methodology employed involved searching and analyzing works in major national indexing databases, such as Periódicos CAPES, Scielo, and the CAPES Theses and Dissertations Database, from march to may 2024, using keywords such as resistance, Student Movement, Military Dictatorship, and University Reform. The concept of resistance and its nuances was used as an analytical framework, addressing the various social actors present during this historical moment. The literature review showed that brazilian students were a fundamental social actor in the process of struggle and affirmation against the Military Regime, playing a crucial role in organizing protests and disseminating democratic ideals. Through this movement, students developed intellectually, morally, and politically, transcending university walls. The impact of their actions as a social force reverberated throughout brazilian society, contributing to political awareness and strengthening social movements that challenged and shook the foundations of authoritarianism. The analysis demonstrated that student resistance was essential to Brazil's redemocratization, highlighting the importance of engagement in the struggle for rights and social justice.
