Movimento Red-Pill: os discursos do/no “novo” conservadorismo

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes red-pill discourse based on the theoretical and methodological assumptions of French Discourse Analysis, particularly the work of Michel Pêcheux, Eni Orlandi, Pierre Bourdieu, Angela Dela Silva, and others. The research begins with the question: does the motto "God, Country, and Family," revived by former President Jair Bolsonaro, resonate in the red-pill discourse? Based on selected discursive sequences, it is evident how this discourse updates conservative and patriarchal ideological formations, naturalizing male domination, silencing female autonomy, and mobilizing moral fear as a strategy of symbolic control. Based on the notion of subject position, discursive memory, and ideology, it is understood that red-pill discourse articulates voices from the past with contemporary strategies of enunciation, constructing an imaginary that reaffirms gender inequalities and legitimizes authoritarian structures under the guise of family, state, or religious protection
