Abstract
Dictators often target opponents with nonviolent repressive methods, but we know little about the logic and effects of such tools. I focus on one such tactic, employment repression, or government efforts to block potential critics from working. I argue that employment repression minimizes the influence of prominent critics, making them less threatening to the regime even if they should dissent. To support this theory, I match data on film productions with lists of artists barred from working under Argentina’s military dictatorship (1976-1983). Results show that the regime targeted more prominent artists, and that employment repression restricted victims’ public profiles and isolated them from their networks. Evidence from theater suggests that this did not stop public dissent, but it did limit victims’ reach. These findings expand our understanding of the repertoire of repression, and particularly the logic of nonviolent methods in suppressing dissent.
