FASCISM: PAST AND PRESENT

Abstract

By the end of the 20th century, fascism was no longer a topic of great interest; what was due, in great part, to the supposed triumph of liberalism, which culminated in the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. However, the recent election of far-right governments, including that of Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, contributed to the resurgence of fascism. This paper examines the articles discussing this topic that were published in Lua Nova’s dossier. They present a variety of themes, scope, and perspectives, but share a common understanding of “fascism” not as a rigid category, but rather as a resource to grasp the complexity of the reality that Brazil and the world are facing.

Keywords:
Fascism; Far-right; Bolsonaro
