• Abstract:

  This work aims to analyze the psychosocial bases of Bolsonarism, focusing on the relationship between colonialism and the aforementioned political category. The central assumption is that political movements are products of mass movements that have developed collectively throughout history. The methodology used was cartography, a concept that monitors the processes of subjective productions. The study focuses on aspects of colonialism, uprooting and construction of national character to understand how Bolsonarism was constituted, strengthened and sustained in Brazil. It is concluded that Bolsonarism is the result of the composition and overlapping of psychosocial layers, reflecting the dispute over the imaginary and subjectivities in Brazilian society. The emergence of Bolsonarism occurs from the emergence of new problems, requiring new concepts and statements.
