O discurso neoconservador no Brasil: uma análise do podcast Retrato Narrado

Abstract

This study carries out the analysis of two episodes of the Retrato Narrado podcast with the goal of reflecting on the neoconservative movements in Brazil and, more particularly, the extremist Brazilian discourses in regard to the inclusion, reparation, and equality policies intended for indigenous peoples, to afrodescendants and to gender diversity. Taking into consideration the discourses enunciated in the podcast, we attempt to describe the discursive artifices that delineate the operation of the neoconservative politics strategy. To do so, we consider, on one hand, the studies of Jason Stanley (2020), Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt (2018) and Enzo Traverso (2020), who describe aspects of the same phenomenon in an international setting; on the other hand, we refer to Michel Foucault’s (1988, 2010) discussions about biopower, racism and fascism.
