Retratos de fascismos brasileiros: a relação de Teocrasília e a nova ordem com o bolsonarismo

Abstract

Dystopia is one of the most political genres that literature can assume, since it absorbs traces of the politics of real to distort it in the form of a nightmare. In this scope, it is symptomatic that novels such as Teocrasília and The new order are launched during the rise of an Ur-Fascist movement in Brazil, to use the concept created by Umberto Eco. Both absorb fragments of bolsonarism and, in the process of falsifying the real, create a literary reality in which a Brazilian version of Ur-Fascism became totalitarian. This work will put the political theory about Ur-Fascism into dialogue with the two objects, in order to understand how traces of this political movement are apprehended by fiction. In this way, it will contribute to the state of the art by making it possible to understand Ur-Fascism in several of its potentialities, as well as the ways in which political literature recreates political theory.
