This book investigates right-wing populism in Brazil. It is a unique study of the major protest movements of the New Right that dominated the streets of São Paulo from 2014 to 2018 and acted as a prelude to Jair Bolsonaro’s election. Examining the populist rhetoric that circulated among the movements’ online followers, McLean reveals the formation of different right-wing publics and gives insight into the topics that have the greatest impact on public political debate. Through interviewing multiple activists and observing them at political events, McLean also exposes motivations for engaging in political action and demonstrates how the movements act as media vehicles of the New Right. Such an intimate study on the Brazilian New Right has never before been carried out in such in-depth detail.

"Produced by members of the Centre for Imaginative Ethnography, this collection introduces the idea of an imaginative and creative approach to anthropological inquiry, one that is collaborative, open-ended, embodied, affective, and experimental. Rather than structuring the book around traditional methods like interviewing, participant observation, and documentary research, the authors organize their thoughts around different methodologies--sensing, walking, writing, performing, and recording. As well, innovative, practical exercises are included that allow ethnographers to not just 'talk the talk', but also 'walk the walk' so they can deepen, complicate, and extend ethnographic inquiry. A list of additional resources at the end of each chapter provide rich support for those who want to pursue more imaginative and creative methodologies."--
This book explores how the Internet is connected to the global crisis of liberal democracy. Today, self-promotion is at the heart of many human relationships. The selfie is not just a social media gesture people love to hate. It is also a symbol of social reality in the age of the Internet. Through social media people have new ways of rating and judging themselves and one another, via metrics such as likes, shares, followers and friends. There are new thirsts for authenticity, outlets for verbal aggression, and social problems. Social media culture and neoliberalism dovetail and amplify one another, feeding social estrangement. With neoliberalism, psychosocial wounds are agitated and authori...

Durante seus mais de 512 anos de existência, o Brasil passou apenas 14 deles – entre 1988 e 2002 – em plena liberdade de expressão. Este livro resulta de um ano de pesquisas sobre os processos de censura prévia ao teatro abertos pela Divisão de Diversões Públicas do Estado de São Paulo. Foi dividido em duas partes: a primeira reconstrói a história da censura desde os tempos coloniais até os dias de hoje; a segunda apresenta os perfis de dois autores perseguidos – Joracy Camargo e Nelson Rodrigues – e de um censor que abominava a perseguição – João Ernesto Coelho Neto. Foi possível criar hipóteses sobre o motivo pelo qual cada veto foi realizado, mas talvez o mais interessante tenha sido perceber que a imprensa combateu a censura às artes muito menos do que podia. Não foram poucos os jornalistas que defenderam algum tipo de controle sobre a criação intelectual e artística no país.
