Abstract

FURLAN, Vinicius  and  ALVES, Cecília Pescatore. Biopolitics and brazilian fascism in times of pandemic. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.51, pp. 409-420. ISSN 2175-1390.

This essay seeks to articulate biopolitics, totalitarian state, Brazilian fascism and pandemic. A real democracy in Brazil was believed, now the return of the spectrum from a past that is considered to be overcome is seen. Pandemic times show the biopolitical forms of government and State fascism, which made citizens' lives coincide with the bare life, with the life of the homo sacer, lives that may be killed but not sacrificed. In Brazil, in national territory proportion, a camp was created in which citizens are put to death, resembling Nazi concentration camps. It is precisely in homo sacer life that the life of each person in Brazil is called into question in biopolitics. The Brazilian population has become a privileged reference in an unprecedented proportion with the homo sacer, in terms of a government and fascist Brazil. The bare life coincided with anyone's life. We are all virtually homines sacri.

Keywords : Biopolitics; Fascism; Pandemic; Totalitarian State; Political Psychology.
