SUMMARY:

The present work aims to establish an analysis of how aspects of the political
discourse present in the 2018 electoral campaign, by presidential candidate Jair
Messias Bolsonaro, relate to the production, reproduction and maintenance of gender,
race and class inequalities. in Brazil, thus contributing to a possible weakening of
democracy.
In recent years we have seen an increase in far-right movements around the world. In
Brazil, from 2010 onwards, a phenomenon of growth in religious conservatism and
neoliberalism was already observed, a new right with anti-communist ideals and
nationalist demands, conservative and reactionary discourse constructed in extremes
and guided by a neoliberal agenda. Such advances became even more evident
following the Impeachment process of Dilma Rousseff in 2016, and with the rise of
the Bolsonarist movement.
As the far-right candidate in the 2018 presidential election, Bolsonaro was presented
as a “new” option on the political scene, despite having almost thirty years of public
life. In the eyes of politically discredited voters, he and Bolsonarism emerged as a
possible “salvation” for the country’s ills, a persona and a political movement
constructed discursively from extremes.
In this sense, based on a feminist discourse analysis, the objective is to highlight, from
the categories of gender, race and class, aspects of Jair Messias Bolsonaro's political
speech during the 2018 electoral campaign, which contribute to a possible weakening
of democracy in Brazil. . Initially, from the investigation of the discursive and
ideological formations of his political discourse, the object of analysis was the official
interviews given by the then candidate to the main broadcasters in the country. Then,
establishing an analysis of how aspects of gender, race and class inequalities mean in
his speech and finally, analyzing how these aspects of his political speech relate to the
process of weakening democracy in Brazil.
