A direita nas ruas em 2019

etnografias de manifestações na cidade de São Paulo

Abstract

The paper presents the findings of an ethnographic study of the main protests carried out in the city of São Paulo by right-wing groups during the first year of Jair Bolsonaro's government. The protests of April 7th, May 26th, June 30th, August 25th, November 9th, November 17th and December 8th were followed. The hypothesis was that right-wing groups on the streets, despite being united around Bolsonaro in the election, were diverse and with often divergent interests. With the research, the division between the different groups in the streets around two currents became increasingly clear: one Bolsonarista, more conservative and whose support for the government was more unrestricted; and one Lavajatista, with significant support for the government, but with a greater focus on measures to combat corruption and whose greatest icon would be Sergio Moro.
