Abstract

The proposition of this article is to historicize the military image construction obscene from communism as monument of power; in a social and political context of fear and aversion of the left ideas on the part of conservative elites and of consolidation of Brazilian Army as modern institution. Thus, the documents reveal that the military anticommunism it is not only a reflection of the fear and mystification of the political left, but - above all - it is representative of the construction of normative practices  structuring of the of own  identity military corporation. Therefore, the transformation of the communist body into   political monster, is not a mere trivialization of otherness, to the extent that the process monstrualização of the political left had an important relationship with the emergence of the institution military as a political actor and internally promoted an unprecedented cohesion in the barracks.
