The political-cultural action of the Messias Bolsonaro administration

Abstract

The text seeks to analyze the political-cultural performance of Messias Bolsonaro’s management (2019-2020). The procedures used for the text’s construction were: bibliographic research and research in newspapers, social networks, magazines and websites. The analysis of ongoing events is always laden with difficulties,either due to the small amount of pre-existing studies on the theme, or because the developments of events have not yet fully surfaced giving whole meaning to what has happened. Such risks and the confrontation of said risks give value and originality to this text, opening the way for new reflections on the subject. The article’s main conclusion is that Messias Bolsonaro’s brutal and destructive political-cultural performance has so far not been able to shape effective cultural policies inthe extreme right, given the democratic struggle, includingthe majority resistance of the cultural field to the
onslaught of presidential management.
