HUR, Domênico Uhng; SABUCEDO, José Manuel  and  ALZATE, Mónica. Bolsonaro and Covid-19: denialism, militarism and neoliberalism. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.51, pp.550-569. ISSN 2175-1390.

The aim of this article is to analyze President Bolsonaro's discourse regarding the COVID-19 pandemic in order to discuss the diagram of his governmental practices. We carried out a cartography of reports on Bolsonaro's speeches published in the media from 02/26/2020 to 06/20/2020. We elaborated three axes of analysis: Denialist discourse and creation of the narrative itself, Militaristic rhetoric and creation of the enemy, and Governmental neoliberal logic. We verified that his position and necropolitical practices are at the service of maintaining the functioning of the neoliberal diagram's gears, in which the maxim defended in contemporary times is no longer "Make live and let die", but "Produce and let die".

Keywords : Political Psychology; Schizoanalysis; Capitalism; Discourse analysis; Brazil.
