This paper appraises Pastoral Land Commission's (CPT) practice of documenting the violence and conflict that has taken place in the Brazilian countryside since 1975. Based on 10 interviews with CPT National members and other primary sources, the paper conceptually explores the organisations' subversive practice of compiling and publishing data on this type of violence, hence producing emancipatory knowledge that supports progressive agrarian change. Although the state benefits from having such knowledge obscured, CPT's efforts shine a light on conflicts in the countryside and frame them as such. Documenting as a technology of resistance has been crucial for Brazilian social movements and scholar-activists and has significant potential for reproduction elsewhere.

计数机构的颠覆性做法：记录巴西农村的暴力和冲突

本文评估了牧区土地委员会 (CPT) 记录自 1975 年以来在巴西农村发生的暴力和冲突的实践。基于对 CPT 国家成员和其他主要来源的 10 次采访，本文从概念上探讨了这些组织的颠覆性实践汇编和发布有关此类暴力的数据，从而产生支持渐进式土地变革的解放知识。尽管国家受益于这些知识的模糊化，但 CPT 的努力照亮了农村的冲突，并将其框架化。记录作为一种抵抗技术对于巴西社会运动和学者活动家来说至关重要，并且在其他地方具有重要的繁殖潜力。
