NO ACONTECIMENTO DE SUA VOLTA: NUANCES DE DISCURSO NAZISTA NA ERA DO GOVERNO BOLSONARO

Abstract

This Final Paper aims to problematize and identify some traces (nuances) of Nazi discourses and ideologies in the Brazilian present, more specifically in the era of the Bolsonaro Government. The research is based on a critical and reflexive analysis of the return of the event – Nazism – through political-partisan discourses and the advance of the extreme right in Brazil. To this end, we emphasize the importance of discussing this theme, problematizing the discourse as an act not only of communication, but as an act of convincing the masses and a mechanism of power/manipulation. Thus, of a qualitative-interpretative nature, the research is based on Discourse Analysis, in the wake of theorists such as Foucault (1987; 1996; 2000; 2008), Charaudeau (2008) and Courtine (2006), among other thinkers. Due to the configuration of the theme, we also dialogue with other areas such as History and Sociology, since our object permeates several human issues that involve the terrain of subjectivity. As a methodology, we selected 03 (three) discursive materialities that circulated at the time of the Bolsonaro government (2018-2022): the first materiality comprises a live in which the object, milk, appears as a symbolic element of Nazism; The second materiality configures an advertising video by the Minister of Culture Roberto Alvim as a reproduction of Joseph Goebbels' campaign; And lastly, we bring a publication from Secom as a reinterpretation of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Our analysis showed the need to emphasize the importance of memory as an organizing element of what can be said and capable of filtering events that, when brought to light, unite past and present in a kind of re-actualization (return of the event). Finally, this research comprised an expensive process about the rescue of memories of a complex past, but which becomes urgent and necessary after the Bolsonaro and the reflection on the growth of the extreme right in the current context.
