Abstract

Censorship, in contemporary times, is a form of symbolic violence that still affects citizens of various countries and political systems around the world. This article includes five reports published in 2014, on the internet, about women who were censored. This article also questions whether avoiding them to speak contributes on erasing their memories. For this, we fell back on specialists who relate History, Culture and Communication as Beatriz Sarlo, Alain Touraine, Tzvetan Todorov, Venício Artur Lima, Walter Benjamin and Cristina Costa. We came to the conclusion that words, narratives and memories don’t disappear, although the attempts - less or more violent - to silence them.
