Paper long abstract:

This paper proposal aims to carry out a study of the rhetoric of collective mobilizations at the Brazilian public space from June 2013 that involves demands for rights and recognition linked to the far-right in this country. When discussing this rhetoric from the anthropological point of view, we can undertake an analysis of the legal sensitivities, the political and moral grammars in Brazil, in order to investigate processes of reclaiming of groups that are understood in this public space as far-right.

In Brazil, demands of rights related to reclaims of differentiated identities can be observed in situations of conflicts that involve the recognition of the identities and rights of citizenship of the so-called "Bolsonaro’s Project". The anti-corruption rhetoric in the electoral campaign is fundamental in the construction of such identity claims and collective mobilizations.

This paper seeks to discuss how the actors from the far-right use different regimes of engagement to justify their claims, making them legitimate in this public arena through the use of the “Bolsonarism rhetoric”.
