THE ANTI-GLOBALISM IN THE BOLSONARIST DISCOURSE (2018-2019)

Authors

Abstract

During the transition to Bolsonaro government there were numerous discourses against an alleged current globalizing order. This research fall within the field of discourse studies and draws from the works of Michel Foucault and other authors to analyze part of formation and functioning of these anti-globalist speeches, pronounced by the President and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Our corpus of analysis consists of Jair Bolsonaro’s victory and inauguration speeches, in October 2018, as well as the inauguration speech of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ernesto H. F. Araújo, in January 2019. The main focus of this study is to understand how the critique about the supposed globalism is formulated, when it is associated with principles of political progressivism or the spectrum of the Latin American “left”.
