项目摘要

This research project focuses on the Final Report of the Brazilian National Truth Commission (hereafter NTC) published in December 2014. Brazil has long silenced its military past contrary to the global trend to human rights accountability. The NTC's Final Report will be the first comprehensive official report about the systematic human rights violations committed by State agents during the military dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1985) with full access to classified documents. During its two year mandate (2012-2014), the NTC has, however, been criticized from various interest groups, and its work was severely compromised by internal conflicts among the commissioners. The project's main objective is to evaluate the historical relevance and socio-political function of the NTC. To that end, the project pursues two specific intermediate goals: to (1) provide an in depth analysis of the Final Report, and (2) investigate and explain its varying short and medium term reception among key interest groups. These two steps are necessary to answer what still remains unknown: What were the NTC's prime purpose, addressees, and its overall sociopolitical function? Ultimately, was the NTC of both perceived and de facto historical relevance for the Brazilian society, and if so, for which areas specifically (e.g. victim-state relations, international reputation, changes within the police and justice system, etc.)? To answer these questions the project will employ the following methods: (1) in depth media analysis of the ceremony of presentation of the Report and continuous media analysis and websites monitoring of key interest groups including the government, the Truth Commission's official webpage, and human rights groups, (2) in depth text analysis of the NTC's Final Report (content, narrative, tone, prime addressee, jargon), (3) conduct interviews with already identified key protagonists including members of the National Truth Commission, the local truth committees, and survivors. The expected outcome of the project is an empirically based, comprehensive study of the Final Report, its reception, and an overall evaluation of the NTC's socio-political relevance and function in Brazil's underresearched, protracted reckoning history with the dictatorship. The project's theoretical contribution is to test alternative evaluation criteria for truth commissions including the commission's public acceptance and the Final Report's contribution to knowledge.

本研究项目的重点是巴西国家真相委员会(以下简称NTC)2014年12月发布的最终报告。巴西长期以来一直对其军事历史保持沉默，与全球人权问责的趋势背道而驰。全国过渡委员会的最后报告将是关于国家特工在巴西军事独裁期间(1964-1985年)有系统地侵犯人权的第一份全面官方报告，完全可以查阅机密文件。然而，在其两年的任务期间(2012-2014年)，全国过渡委员会受到了各种利益集团的批评，其工作受到委员之间内部冲突的严重影响。该项目的主要目标是评价全国过渡委员会的历史意义和社会政治职能。为此，该项目追求两个具体的中期目标：(1)对最后报告进行深入分析，(2)调查和解释其在主要利益集团中不同的短期和中期接受程度。这两个步骤对于回答仍然未知的问题是必要的：全国过渡委员会的主要目的、地址及其总体社会政治职能是什么？归根结底，全国过渡委员会是否对巴西社会具有公认的和事实上的历史意义？如果是，具体涉及哪些领域(例如，受害者国家关系、国际声誉、警察和司法系统内的变化等)？为了回答这些问题，该项目将采用以下方法：(1)深入分析报告的提交仪式，并对包括政府、真相委员会官方网页和人权组织在内的关键利益集团进行持续的媒体分析和网站监测，(2)深入分析全国过渡委员会的最终报告(内容、叙述、语气、主要收信人、行话)，(3)对已经确定的关键主角进行采访，包括国家真相委员会成员、地方真相委员会成员和幸存者。该项目的预期成果是对最终报告及其接受情况进行经验性的全面研究，并对全国过渡委员会在巴西研究不足的长期独裁历史中的社会政治意义和作用进行全面评估。该项目的理论贡献是测试真相委员会的替代评估标准，包括委员会的公众接受度和最终报告对知识的贡献。
