Mulheres e a ultradireita: pautando o gênero no Brasil de Bolsonaro

Abstract

In recent years, the political rise of conservative groups has drawn the attention of numerous recent academic studies. Despite the controversies surrounding the concept that best translates these movements (Neoconservatism, New Right, UltraRight, Extreme Right, etc.), two characteristics seem to mark them: first, the defense of the family and traditional gender roles in society; and second, a considerable presence of female leaders within it. How are gender issues discussed in the political sphere by these female leaders? How do they act politically? This thesis seeks to answer these questions through the analysis of the speeches of the political representatives of these movements within the Chamber of Deputies in the period in which Jair Bolsonaro held the position of President of the Republic, more specifically between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2022.
