The drain of people: power apparatuses of the military dictatorship in K.: relato de uma busca, by B. Kucinski
Abstract
Our aim in this article is to study the fictional text K.: relato de uma busca, by B. Kucinski, which shows the search of a father for his daughter who disappeared in April 1974, during the most violent period of the military regime. We chose to identify in the narrative the presence of apparatuses imposed by the dictatorship, which created barriers to the revelation of the truth about those who disappeared during the regime. The analysis is based upon discussions by Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben about the concept of apparatus. The article is divided into three parts: in the first, we discuss the dictatorship; in the second, we discuss the concept of apparatus; and in the third, we analyze the book.
