In the conference, Ricardo Regatieri will offer a Zeitdiagnose of the contemporary world focusing on lies and conspiracy theories in the age of internet, and showing how the political and communicational environment has been fertile for the rise of far-right wing leaders, parties and movements on the global level. Following that, he will present five key elements of bolsonarismo, pointing out its political rhetoric and practical consequences. He proposes that Bolsonaro and bolsonarismo can only be properly understood when considered in the intersection between global tendencies and local drivers.

Ricardo Pagliuso Regatieri is Professor at the Department of Sociology and at the Graduate Program of Social Sciences at the Federal University of Bahia, where he is also one of the leaders of PERIFERIC AS - Research Group on Social Theories, Modernities and Colonialities. He just completed a Fellowship at the Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation in the context of the project Authoritarianism, Democracy and Political Crises in the Periphery of the Modern Capitalist World-System: the Brazilian Case.
