O uso dos estereótipos turísticos durante o regime militar brasileiro

From 1964 to 1985, Brazil was ruled by a military dictatorship, marked by strong political/ideological repression. This research aimed to investigate if the tourist stereotypes were used as a way to promote the ideology proposed by the military at a greater control of the population. The following methodological procedures were adopted: bibliographic review and documentary survey. Brazil: land of sun and sea, beautiful women, happy and hospitable people! This was the Brazil which was repeatedly presented in the everyday discourses during the analyzed period. In this research, still in progress, the history will be reviewed and reexamined. It is believed that the novelty and the historical importance of the theme justify the relevance of the work.
