Bolsonarism and deep brazil: notes of an ongoing research / Bolsonarismo e brasil profundo: notas de uma pesquisa em andamento

Abstract

This text exposes some provisory outcomes of an ongoing research named “Bolsonarism and Deep Brazil: an analysis about ascension and permanence of a socio-cultural and political phenomenon”. It has been realized by the members of Laboratory of Studies Deep Brazil. It’s an analysis and an interpretation of the relations between Bolsonarism and the set of long duration practices and representations that constitute the experience of Brazilian people in its broad sense. Such a set provides us a content to the notion Deep Brazil. We try to explain the elements of Bolsonarism whose profound roots goes far from conjunctural events. Finally, we intend to offer theoretical and hermeneutical resources with which to make comprehensible the reasons to the growth and support, relatively stable, that a part of Brazilian society has dedicated to the politic and cultural agenda of Bolsonarism, as well as to its emblematic character: Jair Bolsonaro.
