Política e religião no Governo Bolsonaro: práticas de governamentalidade e maneiras de resistência

Abstract

This essay seeks to analyze the practices of governmentality adopted during the Bolsonaro government and examine the forms of resistance employed by minority and cultural groups. By exploring the fusion between religious values and state principles, we highlight the instrumentalization of evangelical precepts in government policies, compromising neutrality and the effective promotion of human rights. The phenomenon, as discussed, reflects a kind of"cultural politics" that seeks to modify behaviors based on specific principles, as exemplified by the motto "God, Country, and Family". The imposition of a singular and hegemonic view on culture has resulted in the marginalization of diverse expressions and the suppression of plural perspectives. In this context, Michel de Certeau provides insights into the practice and theory of culture, emphasizing the importance of renouncing the pretense of imposing generalities that eliminate other existences.
