Brazil has recently experienced a drastic change of direction in politics and sociability, which has been amply documented by several authors. Aiming to analyze the transition from the PT government to a coup by ultraneoliberalism between 2016 and 2018 to finally be marked with the election of Jair Bolsonaro, this article is an attempt to interpret the contemporary moment having as an analytical key the moment of absolute crisis of capital that puts in check the basic forms of sociability constituted until then and opens space for a new one: barbarism. In these conditions, politics becomes the management of barbarism. The article aims to suggest a critical reading of some contemporary elements of the Brazilian political scene to present, in general terms, the recent changes in Brazilian management of barbarism with the new government of Jair Bolsonaro.
