The Far Right in Brazil Beyond the Defeat of Bolsonaro
9:55 a.m. - 11:10 a.m.
"The Far Right in Brazil Beyond the Defeat of Bolsonaro" with Guest Speaker Dr. Marcelo Hoffman (Pace University)
The far-right president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, was defeated in the 2022 presidential election, but his loss does not signal the end of the far right in the country. The movement remains strong in Brazil. Marcelo Hoffman will discuss the rise of the far right over the past decade and why it is not fading anytime soon.
Marcelo Hoffman teaches in the Department of Political Science at Pace University's Dyson College of Arts and Sciences in New York City. He is the author of three books: Foucault in Brazil: Dictatorship, Resistance, and Solidarity (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2024), Militant Acts: The Role of Investigations in Radical Political Struggles (State University of New York Press, 2019), and Foucault and Power: The Influence of Political Engagement on Theories of Power (Bloomsbury, 2014).
