Abstract

The following article aims to reflect on the recent trajectory of ideological-identity social mobilization experienced in Brazil vis-à-vis the process by which State Reform was implemented in the 1990s. In line with the neoliberal prosposals of the main international funding organizations, the new reengineering of public policies effectively “tamed” the transformative drive of Brazilian civil society, and, as a consequence, polarized it ideologically, fragmenting it into rival ideological and identity poles. This article develops a discussion on the subject based on the epistemologies of the South, taking as its empirical field of observation current data representing the intersection between politics, society, ideology, and identity in Brazil.
