Vol. 2 No. 3 (2023): PMPA EM REVISTA Scientific Journal

This third edition of the Scientific Journal of the Military Police of Pará is presented with great satisfaction due to the “threads and traces” of History. An important theme for institutions that deal with the construction of identity, defense of the military ethos and democracy as a daily practice in this 21st century. Narrating the History of the Military Police Institution with a two-hundred-year tradition in our State involves challenges that are related to the very method of constructing the analysis and historical narrative. These go beyond “a mere study of the past”, because History is a relationship between the “past and the present” and vice-versa, “a daughter of its time”, told through visions that show the experiences of the subjects, micro History, gender, power relations, mentalities, class struggle and people’s memories.
