Abstract

This article examines the role and the function performed by Voz Operária during the Brazilian military dictatorship. Despite not abandoning its ideological principles, the monthly emerged in this period as a catalyst for a culture of resistance and democracy, appealing to a composite readership. By highlighting the rhetorical and visual stratagems employed by its editors, this article reveals how the interaction of narrative, caricatures, and woodcuts generated a common emotional realm, unifying the different souls of the opposition front
