Bolsonarsimo, fascismo e neofascismo : uma análise comparativa em A revolução dos bichos

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Bolsonarist context through the work The Animal Revolution (1945), by George Orwell, seeking to understand how the literary narrative allows a critical reflection on authoritarian regimes and the mechanisms of political domination. The research investigates how the bolsonarist discourse mobilizes characteristic elements of authoritarianism and neo-fascism, exploring strategies of manipulation of the masses and the construction of a common enemy, aspects that find parallels in the allegory of Orwell.For this, the analysis is based on theorists such as Hannah Arendt (2012), Norberto Bobbio (1995), Sigmund Freud (2011), Esther Gallego Solano (2018), Brazil Daniel Neves (2012), Robert Paxton (2007), Soares (2023), Loureiro (2022) and Irineu (2020), which contribute to the understanding of the dynamics of social control and collective adherence to authoritarian discourses. Methodologically, the research adopts a qualitative and interpretative approach, performing a critical reading of Orwell’s work in the light of the recent Brazilian political context. Thus, the work highlights the role of literature as na essential tool for the analysis and understanding of contemporary sociopolitical phenomena.
