Memória e disputa de narrativa: uma análise dos discursos de Jair Bolsonaro e de seus seguidores como uso político do passado histórico ditatorial (2018-2022)

Abstract

This monograph focuses on historical denialism in the speeches of Jair Bolsonaro and his followers delivered between 2018 and 2022. The overall objective of this work is to analyze these speeches and identify the historical denialist characteristics present in order to understand how denialism finds space and importance in the discourse of the far-right. To achieve this objective, we selected the speeches of Jair Bolsonaro found on websites and on Youtube and his followers on the social network Facebook as sources. The methodology of this work is based on the understandings of Foucault (1996) and Orlandi (2005) on discursive contextualization. As theoretical frameworks, we use: Almada (2021), Bauer (2020; 2024), Santos and Cortes (2023), Valim, Avelar and Bevernage (2021), and Maia (2024), among others. Through research, it is understood that historical denialism played an important role in Bolsonaro's discourse, helping to establish a bridge between the defeated enemy of the past and the enemy of the present.
