The present study aims to analyze the impact of anti-intellectualism within fascist ideology on the government discourse of Jair Messias Bolsonaro and the echo of his supporters in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on Bakhtin Circle’s dialogic discourse interconnected with socio-philosophical biases of the Human and Social Sciences, the concepts of dialogic relation, ideological sign, and choral support were used to analyze Bolsonaro’s communicative purpose during his government. The discursive survey showed that the anti-intellectualism embedded in the statements and legitimized by the choral support brings to light other semantic-ideological components, which are characteristic of a fascist worldview. This establishes, in addition to the collapse of Public Health, a political and institutional crisis in the Brazilian social context.

摘要

The present study aims to analyze the impact of anti-intellectualism within fascist ideology on the government discourse of Jair Messias Bolsonaro and the echo of his supporters in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on Bakhtin Circle’s dialogic discourse interconnected with socio-philosophical biases of the Human and Social Sciences, the concepts of dialogic relation, ideological sign, and choral support were used to analyze Bolsonaro’s communicative purpose during his government. The discursive survey showed that the anti-intellectualism embedded in the statements and legitimized by the choral support brings to light other semantic-ideological components, which are characteristic of a fascist worldview. This establishes, in addition to the collapse of Public Health, a political and institutional crisis in the Brazilian social context.
