"Contra tudo isto que está aí": moralismo e política nas manifestações “Fora Dilma” em João Pessoa

Abstract

This work analyzes the experience and moral values of the participants of the "Fora Dilma" demonstrations organized in the city of João Pessoa in 2015. Demonstrations against the federal government have been taking place in all the capitals of the Brazilian states since March 15, 2015, bringing together thousands of people who, dressed in the colors of the Brazilian flag, are asking for the Impeachment of the current President of the Republic, Dilma Rousseff. The protests were organized mainly by the social networks of anti-government groups, such as: "Revoltados Online", "Vem Pra Rua" and "Movimento Brasil Livre". Based on an analysis of the "Out Dilma" protests in the city of João Pessoa conducted by "Voltados João Pessoa", we sought to analyze how the need to combat corruption is transformed into a moralistic agenda that confirms and recreates elements of a Udenian tradition in Brazilian politics.
