Clube Sargento Wolff: os sargentos, a sociedade, a política e o imaginário de 1964, sob a ótica do Diário de Pernambuco

Abstract

In this article, we will look at how the military built up a positive image in Pernambuco, in the years leading up to the Military Dictatorship (1950-1964), using the Sergeant Wolff Club to get closer to Pernambuco society. Together with the main clubs in Recife at the time, the Army Sergeants' Club grew through a vertical power relationship with its command and a horizontal one with society, politics and the press. Thus, from the perspective of the positive discourse constructed by the press, specifically by the Diário de Pernambuco, we sought to describe the influence of this phenomenon on the construction of a pro-dictatorship imaginary in the city of Recife.
