Movimentos de extrema-direita e violência contra as minorias no contexto do Brasil: Discursos de ódio e colonização do imaginário

This article aims to analyze the relationship between the rise of the extreme right in Brazil and violence against minorities. This is an integrative review, with a qualitative approach, with a cut-off between 2015 and 2020, which adopted the following data sources: Sage, Scopus, Wiley Online Library. The sample consisted of 52 articles and the data were processed through content analysis. The results indicate that violence, real or symbolic, constitutes an intrinsic foundation of the extreme right/populism platform in Brazil and in the world. It is noteworthy that discourses and “armed languages”, such as fake news, constitute potent strategies for colonizing the social imaginary that feed back and normalize violence.
