Brasil em movimento : o fim da Nova República e a crise da esquerda brasileira

Abstract

Brazil is going through a period of polarization of the society and instability that leads to the collapse of the democratic pact that founded the New Republic. Since June 2013, when major protests took more than one million people to the streets in more than 100 cities in the country, there was an intensification of the crisis of the left and the crisis of the pillars of conciliation that made possible the pact of classes that was held in the country for the last thirty years. As a result, President Dilma Rousseff's Coup/Impeachment took place in 2016 in a plot marked by exceptions and breaches of legality, a process that is consolidated at the polls in 2018, in an election marked by the stripping of meaning of politics that led to the election of Jair Bolsonaro. My research proposal seeks to analyze the exhaustion and crisis of the New Republic in order to understand the exhaustion and crisis of the subjects, of the praxis and of the strategic project of the Brazilian left. Considering the diagnosis made, I outline some proposals for the reconfiguration of the popular forces in the country. The analyzes start at the intersection between social theory and the analysis of the emergence of new discourses, political actors, agendas of claims and strategies of dispute of urban spaces in the national political scenario.
