Bolsonaro

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani refers to Jair Bolsonaro only occasionally, as a contemporary political figure rather than as a subject of study. He cites him as an example of the new far right1 and goes as far as to see in him a "real fascism". He points to the support Bolsonaro enjoys: the evangelicals and American money2. He returns to the role of the evangelicals several years later, when he states that Bolsonaro would not have been elected without them3. This remark comes in a session devoted to neo-fascism and to the present-day relevance of Michel Clouscard. He also presents Bolsonaro's election as the start of the tragic situation Brazil is now in4. In 2020 the name comes up again in an aside about the virus, during a session on the logic of the subject in the face of the reconstitution of Nazism5. These mentions run from 2019 to 2026. They remain brief and point in the same direction: they illustrate the present-day reality of fascism and the far right, without any developed analysis of the man himself.
